🌍An extremely interesting answer by Maria Zakharova with historical data making it clear that even while the BIG Four Allies were fighting together against common Enemies Germany and Japan, and simultaneously planning for the post-war era and Founding on the UN; the two western Allies ruled by the Global Eite were plotting the destruction of the largest of the BIG Four: the USSR

🇷🇺Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova's response to a media question

❓ Question: In his statements during the high-level week of the 81st Session of the UN General Assembly, Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov repeatedly emphasised that the world is beginning to forget the lessons of World War II. What dangers, in your view, does this pose?

💬 Maria Zakharova: I will give several examples demonstrating that the threats he identified are anything but hypothetical.

☝️ I think many of you have heard of the plan for Operation Unthinkable, initiated by British PM Winston Churchill in April 1945. A surprise attack on Red Army positions was envisaged for June 1, 1945, involving 47 British and American divisions. The main objective was to drive Soviet troops out of Germany and Poland, push them back to the borders of the USSR and, if circumstances permitted, beyond.

Victory over Nazism had only just been declared on the European continent, the war in the Far East was still raging, and these plans had already mapped out our fate. Let us look at what these “schemes” entailed.

In September 1945, US President Harry Truman ordered the military to develop an American equivalent of Britain’s Unthinkable plan – Totality. Even then, American strategists were prepared to use nuclear weapons to contain the Red Army.

👉 Work on the next plan – Operation Pincher – was completed in March 1946. On March 5, 1946, Winston Churchill delivered his famous Fulton speech, widely regarded as the public announcement of the Cold War. Washington approved Pincher in June 1946. The plan envisaged dropping between 20 and 30 atomic bombs on 20 Soviet cities.

And now they are going to lecture us about our country’s supposed imperial ambitions? The very people who, even after World War II, were drawing up plans to literally wipe us out with nuclear weapons?

Throughout 1948, a succession of plans followed: Bushwhacker, Crankshaft, Halfmoon, Fleetwood, Cogwheel, Offtackle and Charioteer. Each new plan expanded the scale of the proposed nuclear strikes. Charioteer, for example, envisaged dropping no fewer than 200 atomic bombs on 70 Soviet cities.

On December 3, 1949, the US approved the Trojan plan, which provided for British participation in an attack on the USSR. The allies were preparing to drop 300 atomic bombs and 20,000 conventional bombs on 100 Soviet cities.

At the same time, the Dropshot plan was approved, envisaging an exclusively American operation. Under that plan, 300 atomic bombs and 250,000 tonnes of conventional bombs were to be dropped on the USSR.

Even after the US and the Soviet Union achieved nuclear parity, the Americans continued to develop new plans similar to Totality and Dropshot. 5️⃣ plans were adopted in succession under President Dwight Eisenhower. 4️⃣ under John F. Kennedy. 4️⃣ under Lyndon Johnson. 5️⃣ under Richard Nixon.

Back in the 1940s and 1950s, however, the US and British leadership, despite all the efforts of the “hawks” in their ranks, had enough common sense and political will to shelve these plans.

❗️ Unfortunately, people have now come to power in many EU capitals whose education, general cultural awareness and, frankly, mental make-up raise very serious questions. These Western “elites” have neither the historical experience of the post-war generations nor the breadth of knowledge needed to understand the catastrophic consequences of their Russophobic policies, neo-Nazism and tolerance for the revival of the most horrific practices rooted in hatred of humanity – from neo-Nazism and fascism to everything they spawn.

This is precisely the danger Minister Lavrov warned of in his statements at the UNGA81.

Context: 1941 Declaration of St James Palace FDR and Churchill signed Atlantic Charter with 8 governments in exile plus USSR to adopt the principles

1942 FDR idea of Four Powers: US, UK, USSR and China emerged in Declaration of UN

1943 Moscow Declaration by BIG 4 to create UN at earliest possible date

1944 Dumbarton Oaks* BIG 4 formulated the structure and functioning of UN

1945 Yalta Conference

June 6, 1945 UN Charter signed with stated mission to maintain International Peace and Security and to develop friendly relations

NATO also had its roots in the 1941 Atlantic Charter*, 1947 Treaty at Dunkirk

*Dumbarton Oaks was the home of a CFR Critter and most of the US Contingent were Council on Foreign Relations members. The Atlantic Council and its magazine The Atlantic are also largely staffed and controlled by CFR
