American Adventurism in Western Asia: A Russian Plot to Weaken Britain?

American adventurism in Central and Western Asia, is it all a play on the part of the Russians to weaken the British?

An Analysis of Modern Geo-Strategic Objectives in the Greater Middle-Eastern Conflict by Monkspider

Intellectuals all across Europe, from Zurich to Vienna, from Frankfurt to Brussels, have come up with an infinite number of theories regarding the motives regarding America's disturbing move toward adventurism in Central and Western Asia. Many have seen it as a move for control of strategic resources, as America's industrial base continues to outpace that of Europe, the rich coal and petroleum reserves of Arabia surely must prove to be too attractive to America's captains of industry to resist. However, an increasing number of rogue professors have seriously considered the theory that America's leaders have fallen under the influence of St. Petersburg, and thaAt recent developments are nothing more than a continuation of Russian policy to weaken the British position in Central-Asia.

Consider Russia's long-standing policy to gain a stranglehold on the central Asian states, and to weaken the position of the British in Afghanistan and Persia. There would be nothing that would please the Russian bear more than to have a friendly client state in Afghanistan, though she herself has failed to gain hegemony through traditional means, under the auspices of American military might, she finally has acheived her long-sought after dream.

Now let us take under consideration Russia's other principal rival: Germany. What has been the single most divisive issue between the two great powers? The expansion of German economic interests in Iraq, including talk of a great railway. Perhaps no other issue has contributed to pushing Russia into the arms of France so strongly. What could be a better way to stamp out German influence than to form a secret alliance with the Americans and fund an full-scale invasion? Surely the rest of Europe would not risk war on account of the actions of the Americans? Russia can then deny any link to the American actions, while America's leaders are fed millions of rubles every year for their cooperation.

With Iraq and Afghanistan firmly in the arms of the Russian bear, she can exert influence on Persia and finally gain the warm-water port that she has dreamed about since time immemorial, and challenge the strength of Her Majesty's navy in the Indian Ocean. With all the blustering on the part of America's leaders regarding Persia's "illegal weapons of mass destruction" , you can rest assured that Russia has America's cannons pointing towards Tehran next...

If Russia does indeed gain control of Persia, she would indisputably become the world's most powerful nation. If action is not taken against Russia now, Europe wil recognise that Russia has become so strong, so inexpugnable, so super-abundantly filled with power, that in no case will Russia ever again take any account of them, and so, far from paying any attention to their opinions or wishes, they will be ready and able to crush them with irresistible power at every moment and in every place, now that they have seized everything they wanted. Then in fear and trembling the rest of Europe will have no choice but to close their eyes to everything, and be content to await what will be the end of it all.

The Concert of Europe must stand united in the face of this new wave of Russian aggression.
