Blinken at the UN: A Colin Powell moment

Statement of the World Socialist Web Site Editorial Board

Developments over the past 24 hours make clear that the Biden administration, speaking for dominant sections of the American ruling class, is determined to escalate the confrontation with Russia, even to the point of triggering a world war.

The Biden administration does not want a compromise settlement: it is seeking the total subjugation or even the breakup of Russia, including by military means.

Having in the past quarter century broken apart Yugoslavia and destroyed Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Libya, the United States is once again on the warpath.

The danger of all-out war is escalating.

Russia withdrew a portion of its troops from Crimea and Belarus following the scheduled completion of military exercises there.

The United States responded to the pullback by dispatching Secretary of State Anthony Blinken to denounce Russia at the United Nations Security Council.

Blinken’s performance was an uncanny repeat of the notorious speech delivered in February 2003 by then Secretary of State Colin Powell in the run-up to the Iraq war.
Powell flagrantly perjured himself on national television to justify an illegal war of aggression that has cost the lives of an estimated one million Iraqis.

In its display of lies and hypocrisy, Blinken’s performance was even more shameless than that of his predecessor.

Obviously having a strong Russian State is not in American interest.
Neither a a strong Ukraine.
