Paul Craig Roberts \u2013 paulcraigroberts.org Aug 5, 2025<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Yesterday, August 4, Nima and I discussed on Dialogue Works the three iron constraints on the US government that seem to guarantee the world is heading into catastrophic war. https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/live\/AdnUdbcfp3U <\/a><\/p>\n

One constraint is the US foreign policy doctrine of US hegemony over the world, known as the Wolfowitz Doctrine: The principle goal of US foreign policy is to prevent the rise of any country that can serve as a constraint on US unilateralism. This doctrine targets Russia and China.<\/p>\n

As President Trump recently declared to the Atlantic <\/em>magazine, \u201d I run the country and the world.\u201d https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/politics\/2025\/04\/28\/trump-the-atlantic-i-run-the-country-world\/83326268007\/<\/a> This is a statement of hegemony.<\/p>\n

Another constraint is the US military\/security complex, a heavy political campaign contributor, which needs enemies, such as Russia, China, Iran, to justify its massive budget and power.<\/p>\n

A third constraint is the blackmail power over the US and entire Western world of Epstein\u2019s honey-trap Mossad operation that has films of members of the ruling class having sex with underaged persons.<\/p>\n

Wrapped up in these chains, no Western leader can undertake action to avoid war.<\/p>\n

Russian President Putin has contributed to the coming catastrophic war by his ignoring of provocations in the hope that in the end he would secure a mutual security agreement with Washington that would end the tensions that threaten both countries. Putin\u2019s hopes were fruitless, because they ignored the Wolfowitz doctrine, the power of the US military-security complex, and Israel\u2019s blackmail power over the government in America.<\/p>\n

In A.P.J. Taylor\u2019s history, T he Origins of the Second World War<\/em>, Taylor points out that the war, which no one intended, including Hitler, resulted from diplomatic blunders, the consequences of which no one understood.<\/p>\n

Today the same kind of blunders are being repeated, building tensions instead of reducing them. To these tensions Trump adds egomania, which is blinding. The failure of leadership will end in disastrous war.<\/p>\n
