By early 2013 a long-term strategic goal
of the U.S. foreign policy became clear. The goal is to create two
economic unions to confront the growing power of the BRICS member
countries and form two large markets under the control of the United
States in the Atlantic and Pacific areas without the participation of
China and Russia.
The Trans-Atlantic and Trans-Pacific
Partnership aim at creating an "economic" NATO, Transatlantic Free Trade
Area (TAFTA) between the United States and the European Union. The
defense budget of its member countries amounts to approximately 58
percent of global military spending.
According to the British Prime Minister
David Cameron, the effect of the new union will be expressed in the
growth of the EU's GDP by $157 billion, the U.S. - $130 billion and the
rest of the world - $138 billion. The abolition of the transatlantic
tariffs within five years will ensure revenue growth between the U.S.
and the EU of over $120 billion. In addition, joining of the U.S. and
European markets will determine the need to introduce a new
transatlantic currency, which will allow restructuring or eliminating
all debts denominated in dollars and euros and moving onto a new stage
of economic and monetary expansion.
The outline of the economic agreement in
the Pacific version with the participation of traditionally inflexible
Japan is not clearly defined, but given the enormous influence of the
U.S. in the largest countries of the region and surrounding areas such
as Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and others, it is
safe to assume that the degree of integration will be at least as high
as TAFTA.
As a result, the World Trade
Organization where liberal economists dragged the Russian government,
threatening the collapse of many domestic industries and agriculture,
will lose the ability to influence and regulate the global financial
community.
The U.S. and its formal and informal
allies will gain a tangible profit. The fading U.S. economy will get a
boost for the development, opening up new markets in Europe and Asia. In
the event of adoption of the new currency the U.S. has a real chance to
get rid of heavy debts whose value exceeds the annual GDP. Those not
satisfied with this order will face convincing explanations from the
Navy, Air Force and the U.S. Army as well as the allies.
China and the BRICS locked in the system
of their own markets will lose. In the end, Obama will provide
stability to the faltering U.S. global domination structure, and with
the military and economic potential of the Atlantic and Pacific allies
will build, at least by 22nd century, a new geopolitical world model, in
which, figuratively speaking, the movement of the sun will be
controlled by Washington.
Everything was going fine. The concept
of trans-Atlantic space was supported by British Prime Minister Cameron,
German Chancellor Merkel, European Commission President Barroso, and
French President Hollande.
Everything was fine until idealist
Snowden, who, explaining what prompted him to make public the facts of
the crimes committed by the U.S. authorities, said that since childhood
he was raised to be fair, just and respectful of people's rights. This
classic set frequently used in the description of the U.S. government,
turns out, delivered a serious blow to this country.
It turned out, for example, that the
level of espionage intelligence on the territory of West Germany, the
largest European power and ally of the United States, is only slightly
inferior to the scale of spying on Iran, Pakistan or Afghanistan. A
representation of the European Union in New York and its embassy in
Washington are also entangled in a dense network of espionage.
All European countries are covered by
wiretaps of the National Security Agency, the largest of the classified
U.S. intelligence services. Japan also requested clarification on the
fact of wiretapping of its embassy in Washington. The presidents and
leaders of the European Union who a couple of months ago applauded the
prospects for transatlantic integration (excluding the UK premiere)
harshly condemned the U.S. and demanded an explanation from the Obama
administration.
It is unlikely that these leaders and
common voters in Europe were satisfied with the excuses of the fight
against terrorism offered by a high-ranking CIA official Vincent
Cannistraro. Diplomats and leaders of the European Union, with all due
respect to their ability and moral integrity, do not look like fans or
supporters of terrorism. Despite this, no other explanation was provided
by the Americans. Secretary of State Kerri frankly stated that the
search of the U.S. secret services (i.e., espionage) for data on other
countries is normal, and this practice is not unusual.
The Americans are dragging out time, and
it is certainly a winning tactic, but only in case that the flow of
revelations from Snowden who confirmed that he had thousands of
incriminating documents can be stopped. This is why the Sheremetyevo
airport area is infested by security, and not only Russian.
In any case, Snowden's revelations led
to the fact that the plan to create a Trans-Atlantic area, not to
mention the Pacific, is under a threat of a total collapse, of at least
suspension. It is unlikely that even pro-American politicians in Europe
will take a risk to be proactive in this area. An indefinite delay in
the creation of a new economic zone under the control of the United
States provides an opportunity to increase economic and military
potential of the BRICS countries, primarily China and Russia. While
Russia so far is quite sluggish in realizing its potential outside for
various reasons, Beijing, no doubt, will be able to take advantage of
the situation.
