Kenneth T. Tellis: "U.S. promises cannot be trusted" – Gorbachev

VHeadline commentarist Kenneth T. Tellis writes: Former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev on May 7, 2008, stated the every time the U.S. makes promises to some nation or other, you can be sure that they are already seeking ways to break that promise and undermine the country or countries to which it has made such a promise.

In Gorbachev's own words: 'The U.S. cannot tolerate anyone acting independently. Every U.S. president has to have a war,' which he also concluded, by saying that the world had squandered the chance in the decade after the Cold War to �build a new world order'

In a speech on the 63rd anniversary of Victory Day, May 9, 2008, new Russian President Dmitry Medvedev clearly said that 'Irresponsible U.S. policy could spark a war!'

In his own words Russian President Dmitry Medvedev stated: 'The history of the world wars shows that armed conflicts do not erupt on their own.' He told Russian troops in Red Square during his Victory Day address. They are fuelled by those whose irresponsible ambitions overpower the interests of countries and whole continents.'

Russian President Dmitry Medvedev criticized countries that intruded in other states' affairs, especially by redrawing their borders, these comments are a direct attack on the U.S. and E.U. backing of Kosovo independence.

Every day that passes we see new attempts by the U.S. to find some way of threatening nations that will not kowtow to them. Of recent the re-creation of the U.S. 4th Fleet to patrol South American and Caribbean waters is just such an attempt. What exactly is the aim of this fleet, if not to put fear into the NEW leaders that now run Latin America? What does the Bush regime hope to gain from this inane idea?

Surely, leaders like Chavez of Venezuela, Morales of Bolivia or Correa of Ecuador are certainly not going to bow before the old Yanqui masters of Latin America are they?

Building U.S. bases in places like Aruba or Suriname are not going to force Latin Americans that have had a taste of freedom, to throw away those rights and liberties that they have earned by toil, sweat and tears.

The illegal attack by U.S. Special Forces and their Colombian surrogates on a FARC camp on Ecuadorian soil on March 1, 2008, will not deter the peoples of Latin America in their goal for a free and democratic society based on the socialist Bolivarian system of government. A government in which all citizens partake and to which every vote counts, even those of the indigenous Indian masses that had been disenfranchised for centuries. The Bolivarian Revolution is one in which the people have a say in their government, and do not take their orders from someone in Washington, D.C.

Such is the Bolivarian Revolution that Chavez has brought to the people of Venezuela via the ballot box and not the gun.

The very fact that the U.S. government had to manufacture evidence such as those Laptops that they supposed captured at the FARC campsite in Ecuador on March 1, 2008, proves that the U.S. will leave no stone unturned in its goal of fabricating evidence to link Hugo Rafael Chavez Fries with the FARC insurgents in Colombia with the help of its puppet Colombian President Alvaro Uribe Velez the drug dealer.

Peoples of the world are gradually beginning to see how far the long arm of U.S. imperialism can reach, when it has set its sights.

There is now no country in Latin America or far that matter the world that the U.S. cannot reach via its DEEP-POCKETS.

Just think that everywhere in the world we look today, the U.S. is busy bribing some leader or other to carry out its plan of world domination.

Thus what Gorbachev or Medvedev said in the last week makes a lot of sense.
