At LewRockwell.com, Llewellyn H Rockwell, Jr. explains that history could use some revision in order to better understand the motivations and outcomes of the past, both recent and further back. He concludes:
The value of revisionism isn’t confined to the past. America now supports Ukraine in a costly war against Russia that threatens the world with nuclear annihilation. Russian President Putin is portrayed as an aggressor, embarked on a massive program of expansion. Yet the facts tell a different story. Russia acted in response to a provocative neocon foreign policy that aimed at surrounding Russia with hostile countries. John J. Mearsheimer, the foremost American political scientist specializing in foreign policy, says; “The alternative argument, which I identify with, and which is clearly the minority view in the West, is that the United States and its allies provoked the war. This is not to deny, of course, that Russia invaded Ukraine and started the war. But the principal cause of the conflict is the NATO decision to bring Ukraine into the alliance, which virtually all Russian leaders see as an existential threat that must be eliminated. NATO expansion, however, is part of a broader strategy that is designed to make Ukraine a Western bulwark on Russia’s border. Bringing Kyiv into the European Union (EU) and promoting a color revolution in Ukraine – turning it into pro-Western liberal democracy – are the other two prongs of the policy. Russia leaders fear all three prongs, but they fear NATO expansion the most. To deal with this threat, Russia launched a preventive war on 24 February 2022.”
Let’s do everything we can to promote revisionist history. That is the path to peace.
