Thank you James and specially Ambassador John Evans with whom I had the privilege to meet with my US students at the old US embassy in Yerevan. Your presentation on the conflict in Nakorno Karabakh (Artsakh for Armenians) was very helpful specially for the American listeners to understand how important is the issue of Artsakh for Armenians. I hope the new administration will restore the policy of one of the greatest presidents of USA President W. Wilson.
Thank you for this interview -- a thoughtful and very refreshing.
One question of interest is the 70-year long constant in US foreign policy -- uncompromising and endless regime change wars and economic sanctions (a form of war) against socialist countries. Why is that - pure ideology, or oil control, inertia? Why not a politics of coexistence with socialist countries?
“Venezuela is fundamental threat to USA” -- declared Obama formally initiating regime change.
Is what he really meant is “Socialism is a threat to capitalism”… hence imperial War-party endless wars -- against Bolivia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Syria, Cuba, Libya, China….. Should we perhaps "defund US military terrorism" as an enlightened policy?
Indeed The Scrum has been producing an entire set in thoughtful, interesting, and enlightening pieces. Several things struck me in this interview. One was that the nation state may well not be the best choice for some areas/regions. Nominally speaking, when you ask a citizen of country X, Y, or Z what they are, they should respond that they are a citizen of country X, Y, or Z. They should not say that they are Bhaktiari, or Aztec, or Pashtun. This is interesting since not only do we have and Armenia and an Azerbaijan, the countries, we also have Azerbaijan the province of Iran.....
But a theory of political subdivision isn't why I chose to write. Mr. Evans, who is clearly a diplomat, felt compelled to add after some generally laudatory remarks about Mr. Putin to say that he was no angel. And it's not just Mr. Evans. Patrick does it, just about everybody does it. And I don't understand why. Nobody says that Obama was no angel, and he wasn't. He had American citizens murdered extra legally, he attacked Libya and saw to it that as Three Names put it, we came, we saw, he died. You can say the same thing about Shrub, only worse, but nobody puts the caveats after they're names.
Thank you for this and your other interviews on Russia. Please continue. Could the Scrum interview someone who could answer John Helmer and the many questions he raises about the Navalny poisoning at his site http://johnhelmer.net/ ?
