– Jorgo Mandili –
That is precisely why I sympathize with and respect Russians and Russia, because it is the same country that defeated nazism and liberated the world from colonial empires, and today will liberate it from the global hegemony of Americanism, which Enver Hoxha rightly called the “international gendarme of the peoples.”
I have had a strong sympathy for the Russians since a young age (even though they were Soviet at the time) because when they wage wars, they always pay a very high price.
For them, wars are not strolls or exhibitions, as they are for the Americans; they are a sacrifice.
In the First World War, they had nearly 4,000,000 victims; when the Americans lost 100,000;
In the second, more than 25,000,000, while the Americans lost 400,000.
In the Pacific, to avoid even a few soldier casualties, they did not hesitate to use atomic bombs.
Imagine what would have happened if they, the champions of democracy, had lost tens of millions of people: they would not have hesitated to destroy the entire planet with nuclear bombs.
They live with total indifference, which led General Curtis LeMay to openly argue in 1968 that instead of seeking a diplomatic solution with Hanoi, the United States should “bomb them back to the Stone Age.”
This is the typical arrogance of those who do not know what defeat and suffering are because they have never experienced them.
In fact, in Vietnam, for every American soldier who died fighting in a far-off land (13,000 kilometres away), tens of citizens of that country were killed by indiscriminate bombings from great heights (to avoid taking risks), a percentage reminiscent of nazi reprisals.
Despite my country’s servile policies, I remain grateful to Stalin’s USSR, which helped us after the war when the West, the USA and UK left us in the middle of the road.
Not only that, but we were not even invited to the Peace Conference in Paris where our borders were being cut up based on the fascist thesis of Caldari that our war was not anti-fascist, but a guerrilla war among Albanians collaborating with the nazi-fascism who, like all other collaborators, had to pay a price — the return of “Vorio-Epirus” to Greece.
A thesis that today has been declared correct by our infantile and mediocre historians who claim the National Liberation War was a civil war.
This is what historians like Uran Butka and Beqir Meta claim…
Official Athens should be pleased and hold a trump card with our foolish historians, who for the sake of spite with their mother-in-law, sleep with the enemy.
Now the Greeks have the right not only to keep the war law unrevoked but if Caldari were alive, he would have honoured these Albanian pehlivans of the pit’s history with the highest Greek order, but meanwhile, Mitsotakis can offer them a place in the European Parliament on the Committee for the Revision of the Second World War.
Anyway, they found a field to play in and make a mess!
And it’s no wonder that even from Edi Rama, they might be declared heroes, while from the Academy of Sciences, they could be honoured as emeritus professors, since as academicians, they completed their work under the nose of the Academy and inspired by Rama.
Now compare these “derelicts” with the fight Enver Hoxha made in defence of the country’s sovereignty at the Peace Conference in Paris, facing not only the Greeks but also the British and Americans, who recognized the democratic government ten years late.
It was Stalin’s USSR that defended Albania at that Conference, which without their support would have turned out like the London Conference denounced by Lenin, where Albania’s map was bloodied by the European elite, which our Renaissance figures rightly called by their true name: Europe — the “old whore”!
It was also Stalin’s USSR that aided medieval feudal Albania even under Zogu, who today struts on a statue in the Boulevard for his “heroics”: killing Albanian patriots, stealing the state’s treasury, betraying his people by selling Albania to Mussolini, and escaping like a thief and traitor!
While the true heroes and martyrs are exhumed! Show me a place in the world with this handicap, with this madness that happens in our country — only if psychopaths lead and a society with a sheep-like people exists…
This is why I admire the USSR, Stalin, Russia and the Russian people, and I despise the political elite of Albanian transition, who have sold out Albania for their greedy and beastly thirst for power, money and hedonism.
And I despise the United States, not the American people, but the neo-conservative elite of the deep state which actively intervened in the Soviet Union.
And this is very ironic, because Russia itself was once a colony and during the American Revolution also fought against colonialism.
The USSR, and Russia after it, did and have done a lot of good for the world. They brought socialism to the world, brought ideals of equality and liberated enslaved peoples from Euro-Atlantic colonialism.
This is why the USA supports the nazis in Ukraine — to weaken and disband Russia.
The Obama administration and their neo-con allies set a trap for Russia to draw them into a quagmire similar to Afghanistan, which would drain their resources and kill as many Russians as possible.
As Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recently admitted, the USA wants to “weaken” Russia so it cannot project power beyond its borders.
Washington seeks unrestricted access to Central Asia to surround China with military bases and nuclear missiles.
The United States aims to control China’s growth while dominating the most populated and prosperous region of the next century, Asia.
In every historical period, there are people, communities, nations and peoples who are stronger and less strong; there are those who dominate and those who suffer. I don’t know if it’s inevitable, but it has always been this way.
However, bullies pay a price; initially, Hegel explained, masters were distinguished from servants because they were willing to risk their lives for power, while others gave up power to preserve their lives.
Not anymore.
Today’s masters of the world have no intention of risking anything, least of all their lives.
Even now, Ukraine is suffering greater casualties in a few months than the United States did in its brutal 20-year occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ukraine is seen as the first phase in a much broader strategy aimed at regime change (in Moscow) followed by the forced fragmentation of the Russian state. The ultimate goal is to maintain Washington’s leading role in the global order.
But first, Washington must crush Russia, collapse its economy, isolate it from the global community, demonize it in its media and overthrow its leaders.
The United States and its vassals, in their rabid desire to harm Russia with their own hands, destroyed their own little rotten world, and the Russians already have only one international duty, as always, to liberate the world from global hegemony — to build a new multipolar world.
