The tragic attacks of 11 September 2001 have resulted in almost ten years of perpetual war. September 11, 2001 was the first shot, or the opening salvo of a much wider conflict. The deployment of U.S. and NATO troops in Afghanistan has secured a bridgehead in the Eurasian Heartland, geographically located on or near the borders of Iran, China, India, Pakistan, Russia and the former Soviet republics of Central Asia.
Afghanistan is the Battle of the opening of a global war? The invasion of Afghanistan is like landing of the Western Allies, especially the Americans, in North Africa as a bridgehead in Italy and Europe. At the same time, NATO has been driven from Europe to the Eurasian Heartland, as the landing of the Allied invasion forces in western France.
On 11 September 2001 began World War III?
Historically speaking, it should be noted that the distinctions between wartime and peace are not always clear and conflicts do not always correspond to the dates indicated and standardized by historians. The war was not declared in the case of many past conflicts, as in the beginning of 1700, when Augustus II of Saxony-Poland invaded Livonia or when Frederick IV of Denmark invaded Holstein-Gottorp. Moreover, in the case of many conflicts, attempts were always made to cover or conceal the nature of the conflict as a war or act of aggression. The Romans and the other imperial powers were regularly engaged in such conduct.
The examples given in the story are historical abstract commonly used by historians to record major points of the Second World War and the beginning of the Cold War. In Western Europe and North America, the departure date for the Second World War is considered to September 1, 1939, when Germany invaded Poland. For the former Czechoslovakia, March 16, 1939 (the date when Germany invaded Czechoslovakia) is the date of commencement of the Second World War. In Russia and the former Soviet Union, the start date of the Second World War in 1941, when the Germans invaded the Soviet Union. The date of the end of World War II in Europe is different, because he has run Germany officially surrendered to the Western Allies (in particular the United States, Britain and France) on 8 May 1945 and the Soviet Union on 9 May 1945.
The above dates are all seen from a perspective Eurocentric, excluding Asia. The history of World War II begins much earlier in Asia. Many believe that the beginning of World War II was when Japan invaded China in the Second Sino-Japanese War of 1937, two years before 1939. Even before 1937, since 1931 the Chinese and Japanese were in conflict and 1931 can also be seen as the beginning of World War II.
Various dates and events for the beginning of the Cold War also change as a result of the identification of various events such as saving for the beginning of the Cold War. The US-Soviet power in 1945 on employment in the Korean Peninsula, the crisis in Azerbaijan (1947-1948) caused by the Soviet occupation of Iranian provinces, the near victory of the Communists in national elections in France and Italy (1947-1948), the power struggle between the Communists and the non-communist Czechoslovakia (1947-1948 ), and Block of West Berlin (1948-1949) are also considered as starting dates for the Cold War. Even the events that take place during the Second World War, as the Yalta Conference, the Conference of Tehran and the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki Japan, by President Harry Truman, as a threat to the Soviets (the primacy of U.S. post-war order) are considered the start date of the War Cold.
This question about the dates also gives rise to another point in history. The nature of the story is seamless and is not arbitrary that unintentionally made by historians and history books. A series of events leads to another. Just as the First World War led to the Second World War and the Second World War led to the Cold War and the Cold War led to the " global war on terrorism .
The point is that, in retrospect, dates and historical events are defined by people in the future, and that sometimes people need to go back to see the big picture.
NATO and the Anglo-American invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq are clearly linked to 11 September 2001. These events are also related to military threats against Iran and Syria, tensions in Lebanon and East Africa, as well as threats to U.S. and NATO against China and Russia. In this regard, future historians will say that the third world war could be started on 11 September 2001 or that the tragic events of 11 September 2001 were the prelude to World War III.
Revelations from the U.S. media about the origin of the Israel-Lebanon War 2006: We are a world war?
As a note on the topic if the third world war is in progress, media observers of the United States Media Matters for America noticed that most of the mainstream media claimed that the U.S. was in the middle of a global war in the days following the start of the Israeli war against Lebanon. Media Matters for America what he had reported July 14, 2006:
" Recently, the issue of 13 July [2006] of 'The O'Reilly Factor' of Fox News, Bill O'Reilly hosted saying that" the third world war ... I think we have inside. " Similarly, 13 July [2006] edition of MSNBC's Tucker, graphics read: "We are on the eve of World War III?" As Media Matters for America noted that housed CNN Headline News, Glenn Beck, who began the its program of 12 July [2006] with a discussion with former CIA agent Robert Baer, \u200b\u200bsaying "we have to fight World War III", while also warned to "prevent the apocalypse." Beck el '[ex] Robert Journal Baer had a similar discussion on July 13 [2006], in which Beck said: "I know absolutely that we need to prepare ourselves for World War III. And 'here . "[1]
mainstream media serve as a means of economic and political elite. They fall in the task of disseminating and supporting the domestic and foreign policy of the state. In this sense, the mainstream media are an essential component of the military-industrial-financial-media to help form the point of view of what the sociologist C. Wright Mills has called mass society.
It 'clear that a scenario was possible World War III in 2006. The Israeli attack on Lebanon could be extended to Syria. This would have seen the Iranian intervention, which would see the United States and NATO go to war as combatants, to come aid in Tel Aviv. This would lead to a dangerous scenario for the global war caused by the Middle East, which will be discussed later.
The dangers of a military intervention by the United States and NATO are very real. The Pentagon had planned to launch the NATO invasion of Lebanon, which would include sending U.S. Marines to fight the Lebanese resistance. This was also confirmed by Alain Pellegrini, the former military commander of ' Interim Force in Lebanon United Nations (UNIFIL), in an interview with the daily As-Safir .
The valleys and mountains of Afghanistan, only the beginning of " long war "
The Weekly Standard, the month following 11 September 2001, came menacingly to illustrate the broader future military campaigns in an editorial by Robert Kagan and William Kristol, published October 29, 2001:
" When all is said and done, the conflict in Afghanistan will be for the war on terrorism what the North Africa campaign was to World War II: a beginning essential on the path to victory. But what flashes on the horizon - a great war from Central Asia to the Middle East and, unfortunately, back in the United States - Afghanistan will prove to be the battle start . "[2]
L ' editor of the Weekly Standard , as expected, went to state clearly that the war will operate from multiple fronts developed to become or resemble " Clash of Civilizations" , the model of post conflict Cold War-outlined by Samuel P. Huntington:
" The war will not end in Afghanistan. Will spread and engulf a number of countries in conflicts of varying intensity. It may also require the use of U.S. military power in multiple places simultaneously. Resemble the clash of civilizations that everyone has hoped to avoid. And it will make a significant and perhaps unbearable strain on parts of an international coalition that basks in contented consensus . "[3]
In 2001, Robert Kagan and William Kristol, were well aware of the conflagration of war in Eurasia. Both were U.S. politicians who knew what direction to foreign policy of the Member U.S. would lead the U.S. military. After all, Kristol and Kagan were associated with Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, Paul Wolfowitz by the political think-tank Project for a News American Century (PNAC), which had outlined the roadmap for global military " a New American Century .
World War III on the horizon?
Since the invasion of Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban, the war has spread from Central Europe to Africa, the Middle East, Pakistan and the Caucasus. What looms on the horizon? The "Global War on Terror" is another name for the "Great Game?"
The "Great Game" for control of the whole of Eurasia, Eastern Europe and the Middle East to Central Asia, is course. International tensions are mounting. in Eurasia and the world's geopolitical rivalry between the United States-led military alliance and counter-blockade of the Russian-Chinese-Iranian alliance.
There are a number of fronts that can trigger a global war, but in the Middle East is the greatest risk. If the Israeli attacks in 2006 threatened to lead to global war, an attack on Iran What to bring? A US-Israeli attack against Iran and its allies could develop quickly into a global war with the use of nuclear weapons.
