The Versailles Treaty at the end of World War I has in common with the posture of the U.S. and NATO today the view that the victors in war can dictate the terms of peace, as a unipolar force. This blatant assertion of world dominance ignores the legitimate wishes of other nations, and insists on their subordination to the unipolar power. This typifies the &#8220;arrogance of power&#8221; of today&#8217;s globalist war hawks, who claim the U.S. &#8220;won the Cold War&#8221;, and therefore has the right to be the dominant world power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In contrast, the Peace of Westphalia, which ended the Thirty Years War in 1648, was based on the idea that recognizing the &#8220;interests of others&#8221; is the key to a durable peace. The outright rejection thus far by U.S. negotiators of the legitimacy of President Putin&#8217;s security concerns will not be accepted by Russia. While it is better to talk than not, she said, the overall posture of the U.S. in these talks has &#8220;lowered the nuclear threshold&#8221;, making the use of nuclear weapons more likely should war break out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NATO, which should have been dissolved at the end of the Cold War, must be replaced, especially since its present policy course leads to a war in which its members in Europe will be destroyed. Belonging to a security alliance which would lead to war doesn&#8217;t make sense. Demonizing Putin and attacking the Belt-and-Road Initiative when the western financial system is crashing also does not make sense. She concluded by calling on our viewers to participate in the emergency Schiller Institute&#8217;s online seminar on January 17, on the theme, &#8220;Stop the Murder of Afghanistan.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In reviewing the ongoing series of discussions this week between Russia, the U.S. and NATO &#8212; which she said so far &#8220;looks terrible&#8221; &#8212; Helga Zepp-LaRouche returned to what she described as the two alternative approaches to relations between nations.
