Press TV has interviewed Mike Billington, with the Asia desk at the Executive Intelligence Review, in Leesburg, to discuss Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Victory Day speech, slamming Washington for its attempts to create a unipolar world.
Press TV: I think that the Russian president was alluding to United States when he denounced any attempt for a unipolar world. Do you think that the era of a unipolar world has come to an end or are there signs of its comeback?
Billington: There is no question but that the Anglo-New York axis is functioning as a unipolar world, sort of like the gods of Olympus sitting on top of Olympus throwing their thunderbolts out while in fact the mountain is crumbling out from under them.
Beside what Mr. Putin said in Moscow today, the reality is that not only the Russian army, all services, parade through Beautiful Square - which is called Red Square but is actually Beautiful Square - but also the whole Chinese military was there and on the podium was Mr. Xi Jinping, standing next to Mr. Putin and Mr. Nazarbayev from Kazakhstan pretty much next to them. This is the new world order. We are watching the BRICS nations led largely by Russia, China and India in a situation where they have begun to put together an entirely new order.
And the demonstration today of - for the first time ever - the Chinese military marched through Beautiful Square, Red Square. This was a very clear demonstration that the attempt by Obama and his British backers, Mr. Cameron, who unfortunately, apparently used vote fraud to get back in for 5 years, who are planning on continuing their policy of waging war wherever they want, whenever they want, and using Ukraine and the Middle East as excuses for provoking a war with Russia... willing to go in war with Russia, precisely because they see that Russia, China, and India, through heading of new world financial systems, the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank, the BRICS, a new development bank, and demonstrating that they are not going to back down to the military threats represents a threat to the collapsing Western financial system.
They know it is collapsing, they know that the European and American financial system is kaput, is going under. Mr. La Ruche today was interviewed by Sputnik news, the old RIA Novosti, congratulating Russia and the Chinese on celebrating Victory Day and making the same point really that Putin did, which is that they are not only standing up for the defense against fascism in the 1940s -30s and -40s , but the reason that the Western nations boycotted Victory Day in Moscow is that they are supporting the revival of fascism in Europe and Ukraine; that the Svoboda Party and the Azov battalion, carrying the Swastikas, openly praising Stepan Bandera, the Hitler collaborator in Ukraine, represents the revival of fascism, openly supported by the Obama administration through Victoria Nuland and others, and not only in Ukraine but in other parts of eastern and western Europe. This is a threat to civilization, it’s not just a threat to Ukraine and Russia, a threat of thermonuclear war, which is not far off if we do not reverse the process immediately in the United States and in Europe and restore what was once well known as the American system. Have Europe and the United States join with the BRICS on great development projects rather than confronting them with threats of war.
Press TV: Do you think the United States will give in to this new world order? To a multi-polar new world order?
Billington: I think that is up to us here in the United States.
The La Ruche movement is waging a fight. Mrs. La Ruche is now touring Europe demanding that they give up this insane confrontation with Russia and with China, and join with the BRICS. This is the other paradigm that exists for mankind today. Even many in Europe are now recognizing this. You might now that Mrs. Merkel, even though she was arm-twisted to not go to Victory Day, is going to be there tomorrow. And Steinmeier, the foreign minister from Germany, was there for the parade and very clearly said we have to restore relations with Russia; this confrontation between NATO and Russia has no reason, no basis, it is insane and it is leading us to war. Mr. Berlusconi, the former president of Italy... prime minister... said today that the empty seats in Moscow, the seats where the entire West other than Mr. Tsipras from Greece who was there... and of course the Greeks are very close to joining with the BRICS, they probably will be the first European nation to join with the BRICS.
But the empty seats from the US, from Britain, from Russia, from France and so forth, represent a failure of the West, not a boycott of Russia, but a demonstration of the collapse and the failure of the West, financially, economically, strategically and threatening a war.
We have to turn that around. That is what our policy is here in the La Ruche movement is to turn this around to get this... this lunatic out of the White House. Quickly, not in the next election, now! Before World War III breaks out and before the collapse far greater than the 2007-2008 collapse hits.
This is our responsibility, it is a responsibility to the human race, there are two paradigms in the world and we have to make sure that America restores its historic role as a nation builder and not as a British-style imperial warlord.
