To Secure Peace, Putin, Trump and Xi Must Meet in Beijing

Among the mentally stable governments in the world, a collective sigh of relief came out when the news of last Friday’s Aug. 15 meeting in Anchorage, Alaska, was released. In Europe—where sanity is admittedly rare nowadays—Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán had said of the Alaska meeting, “For years we have watched the two biggest nuclear powers dismantle the framework of their cooperation and shoot unfriendly messages back and forth. That has now come to an end. Today the world is a safer place than it was yesterday. May every weekend be at least this good!”

While thermonuclear war may have been averted, at least temporarily, in Alaska last Friday, there is still much work to be done in reversing the path that has been laid out by the imperial warmongers in the City of London and their allies in Wall Street. That requires going to the next step—pushing for a trilateral meeting between Presidents Donald Trump, Xi Jinping, and Vladimir Putin at the upcoming Sept. 3rd meeting in Beijing, China, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Victory in the Pacific.

While Americans and Europeans may largely be unaware of this fact today, World War II did not start on Sep. 1, 1939, with Hitler’s invasion of Poland. It really began on Sept. 18, 1931, with the Japanese invasion of the Manchuria region of the Republic of China, where at least 35 million persons of Chinese ethnicity had lost their lives. Before long, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt had extended the Lend Lease Act provisions to finance China against the Japanese military machine, along with issuing the executive order of the now well-known “Flying Tigers” American fighter pilot squadron, which had fought Japanese air supremacy in Southern China.

While these historical facts may be lost by most Americans and the Trump Administration today, the presence of U.S. leadership at the upcoming Beijing meeting may be decisive in moving the world forward from the successful Alaska meeting between President Trump and President Putin. The inclusion of policy proposals of Lyndon LaRouche and Helga Zepp-LaRouche, such as the Bering Strait Development Corridor linking Eurasia to the Americas, would guarantee the cooperation of the United States, Russia, and China for the greater good of all humanity, and finally put an end to the dark history of the British-controlled “rules-based order,” which has given us the NATO-provoked war in Ukraine, the genocide in Southwest Asia, and the so-called “war on terror” in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, and other nations.

We must now learn the history of the U.S. republic, founded upon an anti-colonial mission of freeing mankind from slavery and British imperialism. That revolutionary inspiration, for which the Declaration of Independence and federal constitution are based on, must be rediscovered. The historical collaboration between President Lincoln’s administration and Russia’s Tsar Alexander II, for example, is indispensable for restoring Russian-American relations today. This and more will be discussed on today’s Manhattan Town Hall program, with Dennis Speed and Bill Jones.
