/ world today news/ The interruption of our gas flows and the study of Seymour Hersh, indicating its authors, caused a natural outpouring of indignation in our country. But honestly, why should we be surprised? People, as they say, work, and for a very, very long time.
Why should people who are willing to stage Pearl Harbor or 9.11 in their own, so to speak, agglomeration, without sparing their soldiers and citizens, think twice when it comes to an existential war with their direct enemies? Here you should not be surprised or outraged, but study history, open your eyes and begin to see things as they are. Until it’s too late. At war as at war. And in this war, the Anglo-Saxon elites have always behaved this way.
As an illustration, I will tell you a story, which for some reason is not usually talked about in our country, although it should be told to students in the first lesson devoted to the Second World War. It’s no big secret that the battle for Stalingrad is primarily a battle for oil. After the capture of Stalingrad, Hitler would become the owner of inexhaustible sources of oil in Baku. And at the same time, with the same stroke, he would cut off the Soviet military machine and economy from oil resources. The capture of Stalingrad meant for him both the end of the war with Russia and a real salvation and a way out of the completely hopeless situation of the war with England.
And the situation is really hopeless. The Anglo-Saxons never started wars without having at least a twenty-thirty-fold advantage. This was exactly the advantage they had when they entered World War II. World War II was a war of machines. Cars require fuel. Fuel is derived from petroleum. Germany, Italy and Japan had no oil of their own. The US and Britain never faced the problem of oil starvation. They always had plenty of fuel. America has its own inexhaustible resources, Britain feeds on its colonies – Iraq and Bahrain.
Japan, fighting for control of the Pacific, waged war in Burma and the Dutch East Indies primarily for oil – blood for their machines. However, Germany has always faced the prospect of losing its only source of oil in Europe – the Romanian fields of Ploiesti.
Let’s look at the numbers: in 1938, on the eve of the war, German companies produced 0.55 million tons of oil per year, the USA at the same time produced 164.1 million tons, the USSR – 30.2 million tons, Iran – 10.4 million tons, Romania – 6.6 million tons. At the start of the war, Hitler had 2.5 million barrels per day from Romania (1.2 million tons of oil in 1940), plus 4.25 million barrels per day of low-quality synthetic oil. A total of about 8-10 million barrels per day was dredged for all military needs, with minimum requirements of 15-30 million barrels. Besides, this oil still had to be shared with Italy. The Allies together produced at least 300 million barrels per day (!) – and, as they say, they did not give up anything. So, 10:300, or 1 in 30 – these were the stakes in this war, with such initial data, the Anglo-Saxons could risk interfering in the war!
Hitler’s insinuations in 1940 – the endless peace proposals he showered London with, the occupation of Greece and Crete (from where British planes could reach Ploiesti), the desperate negotiations with Molotov in Berlin offering a strategic alliance against England and finally the decision to “Barbarossa” was launched – the prospect of prolonging the war, the sudden threat of oil starvation and inevitable collapse are largely connected with this.
It was no secret to anyone (and especially to the British) that Germany’s only chance of winning the war with a total lack of resources was blitzkrieg. And all that was left for the British in such conditions was to drag out the war until the Germans ran out of oil.
By the end of 1940, at the height of German successes and the general belief in German victory, Hitler realized that he had fallen into a trap carefully laid by the British. That’s right – according to the English scenario – everything goes further: the invincible tanks of the brilliant Rommel, having lost fuel, got stuck in Africa, the armies of the Wehrmacht – nailed Europe. Luftwaffe planes, already running on poor kerosene, were grounded, unable to defend German cities. The same disaster befell Japan, which by the end of the war had lost the ability to defend even its capital from the air.
Meanwhile, the British were careful to always have Germany by the throat, cutting off its sources of oil. This dictated operations in Africa and the Maghreb, the conquest of Iran, Syria and Lebanon. When Stalin’s seizure of Bessarabia and the failure of the negotiations with Molotov in Berlin faced Hitler with the prospect of losing his only source of oil in Ploiesti, the solution was found in Barbarossa. Subsequently, the Reich Minister of War Industry, Albert Speer, when asked about the reasons for the war with the USSR, answered briefly: “We invaded Russia for the oil.”
But everything could have developed differently if England and France had carried out their plan in 1940 – to bomb the Soviet oil fields in Baku and Grozny. So, on September 1, Hitler entered Poland. On September 3-4, England with its possessions and France declared war on Germany. The war, which began as a local skirmish for the city of Danzig, grew into a world war.
The German Blitzkrieg in Poland stuns the British. And Russian oil (a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact) made the results of Germany’s war with France and England unpredictable. Under these conditions, at the end of 1939, at a meeting of the Anglo-French Supreme Military Council, it was decided to bomb the oil fields of the USSR, a neutral and non-participating country “not interested in such trifles as an official declaration of war” ( Dayton Lehn, “World War II: Mistakes, Omissions, Losses/War Over Oil”). On February 22, 1940, General Gamelin reported to the French Prime Minister: “The main weakness of the Russian economy is its dependence on Caucasian oil – any significant interruption of oil supplies could lead to collapse…”.
The decision has been made. The main objectives of the plan (protocol of 4-5 April 1940) were outlined: oil refineries and port facilities at Batumi, Poti, Grozny and Baku. A possible target is the port of Odessa. It was envisaged that the operation would be carried out by six French air groups and three British squadrons. An “attack on aircraft carriers in the Black Sea with the aim of bombing oil refineries, oil depots or port facilities in Batumi and Tuapse” was also proposed. Baku was given 15 days for destruction, Grozny – 12, Batumi – a day and a half. By April 1940, plans were ready for air strikes from air bases in Iran, Turkey and Syria. The plan was codenamed Operation Pike.
On March 30, 1940, the British reconnaissance plane “Lockheed-12A”, which took off from the British air base Habaniya in Iraq, photographed Baku and the adjacent oil fields, and four days later it scouted the areas of Batumi and Poti.
Everything was ready to strike. However, the unexpected invasion of German troops into France upset the Allies’ plans. The secret documents of Operation “Pike” captured by the Germans (as well as the plans for the occupation of Norway by the Allies under the pretext of protecting Finland) were promptly published by them to show the true face of the “English warmongers”. The British had to abandon their plans.
“There is a strong temptation to present World War II solely as a struggle for oil,” notes Dayton Lehn. Joseph Stalin called the Second World War two capitalist predators for world domination. All of this is true in many ways, though not all. However, Stalin’s definition of war is much closer to the Anglo-Saxon version that triumphs today in our country and whose dominance has already once led to the collapse of the USSR. Indeed, in the end, our “military alliance” seemed to write off all the sins of the subsequent Cold War. So, having abandoned our “backward socialism”, we had no choice but to throw ourselves at the necks of the “former allies”. We rushed into the arms of a viper. But the saddest thing is that to this day the alliance with the Anglo-Americans not only remains the sacred cow of our historiography, but is defined as “revisionism~ any other view of it (and that in the conditions of a real war with the Anglo-Saxon world). . Even to the detriment of the obvious facts! This is where a harmonious chorus of outrage is really needed! What to do? Very simple. To begin with, let’s go back to the formulations of Stalin, officially recognizing the direct participation of the Anglo-American elites in the development of the Second World War.
Recognize that these elites (namely the elites, of course, not the peoples we were really allied with) have always been our existential enemies. And not only ours, but also of enemies of their own peoples, enemies of all humanity. Because, striving for world domination, these elites (today it would be more accurate to call them not Anglo-Saxon, but globalists) sought to destroy the entire traditional world and traditional Russia, as a part of it, even at the time of our forced union.
