Andrei Martyanov - Disintegration

Martyanov shows that Americas disintegration is irreversible because the ruling elites are an organic part of the calamitous sources of dysfunction that have destroyed the country.

PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS

Andrei Martyanovs third book discussing the collapse of the U.S. Empire looks into the social and economic phenomena which all contribute to that collapse. Disintegration is a multi-level analysis of the crisis which is now so clearly plaguing the USA of 2021. I consider Disintegration a must read for every U.S. patriot who wants his country to overcome its current difficulties and for every person on the planet who wants to avoid a full-scale war between Russia and/or China and the USA. Indeed, if you want to get a superb summation of what is really going on in the United Statesread all of Martyanovs books.

When in June of 2020 the U.S. media connected to the Democratic Party, such as Huffington Post among many others, ran yet another bizarre, and ultimately untrue, story of some Russian intelligence unit paying bounties to the Taliban for killing U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan, it became plain that the American fourth estate had reached bottom. Even when it first emerged from the dark recesses of the New York Times lie machine, and was spread by the massive DNC propaganda network, it was patently clear that the U.S. media and intelligence community, which served as a source for this story, had failed to come up with an even remotely believable lie. Not only did the Trump Administration, including though its military and intelligence representatives, flatly deny those allegations, but even the public comments in various profoundly anti-Trump media were putting the whole premise in serious doubt.

No less than Suhail Shaheen, the representative of a political office of the Taliban, in his interview to Russias Ria, directly pointed to the U.S.-supported Kabul regimes Department of National Security as the source of the leak to U.S. media.U.S. in Afghanistan they could have provided the Talibanwhich is designated a terrorist organization in Russiawith appropriate military assistance to dramatically increase U.S. casualties while providing Russia with enough plausible deniability to dismiss any American claims of their interference.

But Russia wouldnt do so, including for obvious geopolitical reasons, since it is in Russias national interest to keep the U.S. bogged down in Afghanistan, while preoccupying the Taliban and the other jihadist parties with Afghanistans mess rather than looking northward towards the former Soviet middle Asian republics, now independent Muslim-populated states, which flank Russias soft Asian underbelly. Russians have always been on record about their stance on Afghanistan:

How long would the Afghan government endure today if it were left alone to face the Taliban? A rapid slide into chaos awaits Afghanistan and its neighbors if NATO pulls out, pretending to have achieved its goals. A pullout would give a tremendous boost to Islamic militants, destabilize the Central Asian republics and set off flows of refugees, including many thousands to Europe and Russia. It would also give a huge boost to the illegal drug trade. Opium production in Afghanistan in 2008 came to 7,700 tons, more than 40 times that of 2001, when international forces arrived. If even the ISAF presence could not prevent the explosive growth of Taliban drug dealing, then it is not difficult to understand what a NATO pull-out would lead to. As people in the West count the coffins of NATO soldiers from Afghanistan, let them not forget to include the coffins of Americans and Europeans who were killed by Taliban heroin in their own countries. A successful end to the operation in Afghanistan will not come simply with the death of Osama bin Laden. The minimum that we require from NATO is consolidating a stable political

Eventually, as was the case with the multitude of stories in the Russiagate narrative, this particular story faded away but not the conclusions which might independently be derived from itthat the United States was on its way towards the complete dysfunction of its political institutions, which were exhibiting peculiar, abnormal responses to a changing world, both externally and internally. Those responses, from making up primitive, if not altogether laughable, narratives such as those populating Russiagate as a whole, or the Taliban bounties story in particular, to the present hysteria in social media, the much more serious deliberate obliteration of their own countrys history, and the again deliberate collapse of law and order by Democratic Party operatives and elected officials from states governors to cities mayors, such as the defunding of Police Departments and excusing violent protestall these are signs not only of general collapseAmericas collapse has been in the progress for some time now, and has been predicted by a number of observersbut in actuality the utter, historically unprecedented degeneration of Americas so-called elites, which have exhibited a level of malfeasance, incompetence, cowardice and betrayal of their own people on such a scale that it beggars belief. Where is the precedent for such a historic occasion where a country, having no external factors pressing it into a geopolitical corner, self-obliterates with such a speed and ferocity that even the collapse of the Soviet Union begins to fail in comparison.

Anyone in America who bothered in the last few years to open their eyes would have easily noticed a dangerous trend. More than three years ago, I wrote:

If the United States has any future as a stable and relatively well-working Republic it must start a really serious nationwide discussion on the competence or rather lack thereof, and indeed the malice, of the Washington lobbies and corrupt politicians, many of

As it turned out, I was too optimistic, because there will be no recovery. It will be something else altogether, because what will emerge will not be the United States we used to know. If the United States preserves itself as a unified statea doubtful proposition in itself, once one considers the speed with which a complete and severe systemic dysfunction has afflicted the countryeverything we knew about the United States will be gone and the world will face an unstable third world geopolitical entity armed with nuclear weapons, placed in the middle of an internal power struggle, which may take an extremely violent form, with the ever declining institutions of the American state unable to mitigate the unfolding catastrophe threatening to evolve into a full blown civil war, which will tear the United States apart and threaten the designation, and indeed the very existence, of those we commonly identify today as Americans.

This book is not about predictions of Americas possible fatesalbeit some will inevitably be made as a result of elaborating on the fundamental driving forces behind Americas dramatic departure from the status, granted self-proclaimed, of a global hegemon and her manifest political, ideological, economic, cultural and military decline. These latter are the forces whose long-term effects are the focus of this study, because it is they that are driving the United States into chaos. Not only have Americas elites failed to recognize and counter those calamitous forcesthey have become an organic part of them.
