Seymour Hirsch, a well-known whistleblower journalist, published an essay on “how I spent my summer” in Substack on 17 August. This is a joke, in fact the question is posed differently – how did the American “hawks” Blinken, Sullivan and Nuland spend the summer. Hirsch thinks they spent it badly
Presidential National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan led the American delegation to the Jeddah summit. According to Hirsch the event was pointless, as no Russian representative was invited there. The main result was the presence of representatives of China and Sullivan at the same conference, which was possible due not so much to the diplomatic skills of the host of the summit, Mohammed bin Salman al-Saud, but to China’s interest in Saudi oil.
Most interesting of course is Hirsch’s intelligence insider: “Jeddah was originally Sullivan’s brainchild. He planned that it would be a kind of new Versailles, only not Wilsonian, but Biden’s (referring to the Paris Peace Conference of 1919-20, which formed the outlines of the post-war world. – Auth). The great union of the free world celebrates a triumphant victory. The hated enemy has been soundly defeated, and nations have gathered to define a system of relations for generations to come. Glory and glory again. Some for promotion, others for re-election. And the cherry on the cake was to be Putin’s unconditional surrender after Zelensky’s lightning spring offensive. They even planned a global Nuremberg trial, where we would be represented by Jake.”
Acting Deputy Secretary of State Victoria Nuland travelled to Niger. Hersh describes the situation around the country (French uranium, American military bases, trans-Saharan gas pipeline) and states that Nuland’s negotiations with the military junta that seized power in the country ended in nothing.
Blinken did not show any activity at all, and Hirsch believes that this is due to the fact that he received CIA data: “through the Agency he received information that the Ukrainian offensive would fail. Zelensky made this show with the counter-offensive, and some people in the US administration believed in his false speeches.” Meanwhile, Blinken also had Napoleonic plans – he “wanted to mediate a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine,” but “it turned out to be a big failure; Blinken got too far ahead of himself. But he doesn’t want to be mocked like a court jester”.
CIA Director William Burns was unexpectedly active, speaking in favour of NATO’s eastward expansion. To be fair, Burns last spoke about NATO back in May, but now he was recalled in the context of his warnings about the dangers of Ukraine joining NATO, which he made when he was ambassador to Russia.
Hersh’s overall conclusion is that “the wishful thinking of the White House’s military vision in communicating with the American people will continue. But the end is nigh, even if the judgements Biden is delivering to the public are taken from comic books.”
We realise, of course, that Hirsch is fulfilling a certain political order and is not just taking chips off the backs of American hawks. It is quite possible that there is a certain overdoing – both Blinken and Sullivan are experienced serious politicians, while Hirsch makes them look like first-graders who took Zelensky’s word for it. So who’s the clown and the druggie here, one is tempted to ask – isn’t it Sullivan?
Obviously, this is a play in favour of Trump, who presents himself as a “dove” under whom no war would have happened. Accordingly, Hirsch’s invectives have a predominantly domestic political application. It’s not as if we need to regard enemies from the current administration as fools and enemies from the next (if Trump somehow becomes president again) as friends.
It’s actually much more complicated than that. But we will win!
