Neoconservatives (neocons) are a faction within U.S. foreign policy circles who advocate for an aggressive, interventionist approach to promoting American interests and values abroad, which is the cover story, along with spreading democracy, which we do not even experience. Their hostility toward Russia stems from several key ideological and strategic motivations that date back to when Khrushchev said, “We will bury you,” a philosophical boast that he believed communism would defeat capitalism, much like Sparta defeated Athens.
Neoconservatives view Russia under Putin as an authoritarian, revisionist power that suppresses democracy, violates human rights, and threatens liberal democratic values, including the WOKE agenda. They see regime change or containment as necessary to weaken Russia’s influence. Russia was communist, but that fell. They are now capitalists, but they have shifted their focus from communism to authoritarianism, which is indistinguishable from that of any Western country. We may elect a president as Russia does, but we have unelected moles within the Deep State that act in their own self-interest. In Europe, the head of the EU does not stand for an election, nor does anyone in the Commission. Ursula was appointed on December 1st, 2019. She has NEVER stood for any democratic position in history, yet she calls Putin a dictator who has stood for election.
Many neocons (especially older figures) retain a Cold War mindset, seeing Russia as the successor to the Soviet Union—an existential adversary that must be confronted rather than accommodated. They distrust diplomacy with Moscow, believing it only emboldens aggression. They act with their disdain and aggression, insisting it is self-defense because that is what Russia intends.
While the AFD in Germany opposes supplying Ukraine with endless weapons, Merz is a diehard Neocon and is doing everything in his power to ensure that Germany is attacked to justify World War III. He has insisted on an exception for deficit spending, ending Germany’s austerity, all for defense. He says there is no diplomatic solution, and this is right out of the Neocon Playbook – never talk to the enemy, for they may lead to peace.
Neoconservatives push for NATO expansion (e.g., advocating for Ukraine’s membership) and support arming proxy forces (like in Syria or Ukraine) to roll back Russian influence. They view this as a means to solidify U.S. global hegemony. They have promoted NATO expansion to Asia and have wanted to open NATO headquarters in Japan.
