Norwegian Professor and founder of Peace Studies, Johan Galtung, says the fall of the United States empire has already begun.
Galtung observed that, the refusal of some countries to form Military
alliance with the once most powerful nation on earth was an indication
that the US no longer enjoy dominance within the world circle.
The Norwegian don, who predicted September 11 (911) attack and the
fall of the Berlin Wall as the Soviet Union’s weakest spot made the
claim in an exclusive chat with DAILY POST.
According to Galtung, “You see, to make it clear again; there is no
such thing as a mandatory downfall of the USA. The downfall of the US
Empire has already happened as I explained earlier, since there are very
few countries left – in essence UK, Norway and Denmark – willing to
fight and kill for the US.
“The other members of the European Union said in Bratislava, 6th
November 2016 that they will no longer fight US wars. Trump is going to
have to deal with that. So again, my point is not the downfall of the
USA, but the downfall of the US Empire. In my view, if Hillary Clinton
had run, she would have probably been heading towards nuclear war with
Russia and Denmark would probably not have accepted that. So you can
say, in that way, the last part of the US Empire would have disappeared,
but at what cost? With a bang instead of with a whisper.”
On the September 11 attack, the Norwegian don maintained he only
disclosed the possible retaliation against the US, following the
country’s mass killings in the Middle East.
Galtung stressed that the September 11 attack could have been retaliation, following US previous attacks on other countries.
Speaking further, the Professor said, “As far as I can tell, there
were no predictions at all, except that some intelligence agencies saw
something coming but not where and when. What I predicted was negative
feedback against the US as retaliation for the massive meddling and
killing in the Middle East; so called blowback. You see, during the
Vietnam War, the country was left with 3 Million dead Vietnamese, many
of them Buddhists.
“Maybe after the Vietnam War, the Pentagon learned the wrong lesson,
that they carry no risk for killing millions abroad. Maybe Buddhists are
less likely to retaliate in revenge than Muslims? In any case, 9/11 was
a blowback for murderous manipulations in the Middle East.
“Well, I said regrettable to the loss of life but also: “obvious”.
The US cannot go on forever waging so many wars against so many
countries and bombing all over without there being a counter-attack. The
attacks were in 2001. And you know very well that in the 1990s the
focus of US bombing was on Muslim countries. For anyone with a
geopolitical eye on global events, it was very obvious that there could
be a counter-attack from Muslim countries and so it came.”
