American Ambassadors: Old Dogs and Old Tricks

American Ambassadors: Old Dogs and Old Tricks

In recent years the US prestige in the world has been deteriorating rapidly in the international arena due to the unpopular, outright failed policies, which is forcing the White House to go back to a dusty book of tricks that had previously been used by Washington to create an image of prosperity and happiness. A number of states around the world paid a bitter price in an attempt to recreate this image in the actual life, which led to a wave of “color revolutions” around the globe in pursuit of “American-style democracy”, due to actions of Victoria Nuland, John McCain and the likes of them. It’s no wonder them that there’s nobody in the line for some more US-style democracy.

The US stagnant political machine is extremely reluctant to change its ways, therefore it is repeating the scenarios that have already been tested, regardless of the fact how good they did or didn’t work last time.

It’s suffice to recall the theatrical show with “Saddam Hussein’s WMD tubes” that were displayed by the US Secretary of State Colin Powell at the UN security council to justify American military aggression against Iraq. The White House couldn’t care less about the fact that was no weapons of mass destruction to be found in Iraq as long as the trick worked, and now it seems that the sitting Secretary of State – John Kerry is apparently has some hope that pulling a similar trick once again will allow him to obtain the international support needed to unleash new aggression, this time against Syria .

This habit of using old tricks has already become a tradition in the White House, therefore the United States started using old ambassadors that have proved their “efficiency” in the creation of unrest, social conflicts and the consequent “color revolutions”. Some of them were summoned back from retirement, even despite their age!

To create “pre-revolutionary conditions” and put the personal experience of unleashing “color revolutions” the White House has sent John F. Tefft an ambassador to Moscow back in 2014, even despite the fact that he is far from being “sympathetic” with Russian. This diplomat was behind revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine, where he had previously worked.

Another example of Washington’s dubious practices of Washington can be traced in Kyrgyzstan, where the former ambassador Pamela Spratlen that had failed in creating “revolutionary preconditions for regime change” was “temporarily” replaced by a 78-year-old diplomat Richard Monroe Miles. The specified appointment looks alarming since the now retired Miles is widely known as “the architect and ideologist of Georgian revolution”, that has made a number of states to suffer severe political crises.

According to his official biography, Richard Monroe served in the Marine Corps from 1954 to 1957 which may be the reason for his devotion to armed regime changes he’s been staging so often. After obtaining his university degrees, he entered the U.S. Army Russian Institute in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany, where western special services had been preparing “anti-soviet specialists”. Miles began his diplomatic career back in 1967, after working in the US diplomatic missions in Oslo, Moscow, Belgrade, Berlin, it curious that he was appointed Consul General in Leningrad.
