US using Ukraine playbook in Chinese-Russian neighbor - MP

Washington has been very active in Mongolia lately, trying to pit it against Russia and China, a top Russian lawmaker has warned

Washington is apparently preparing a Ukraine-style scenario for Mongolia, seeking to turn it against its immediate neighbors, Russia and China, the vice-speaker of the State Duma, the lower chamber of the country's parliament, Sholban Kara-ool, has warned.

The US embassy and other non-government organizations have been very active in the country, the MP wrote on his Telegram channel on Wednesday, sharing observations made during his recent visit to Mongolia.

"The Mongolian authorities greeted us with brotherly warmth, but on the streets of the Mongolian capital, I did not see a single sign in Russian, which had previously been present there for decades and were considered integral elements of the city as a sign of friendship between peoples," Kara-ool stated, adding that the trip gave him an "uneasy feeling."

It is no secret that the same US organizations that have been investing in Ukraine since 2014 are operating in Mongolia. Therefore, their goals are clear," he claimed, without naming any precise bodies that might be involved.

Foreign embassies have been acting very "aggressively" in the country, and Russia must not lag behind in that line of work, the MP believes.

"It is necessary to strengthen inter-parliamentary cooperation, strengthen cultural and humanitarian ties and friendship of our peoples. Our relations have always been friendly and good-neighborly. We can't lose this," he argued.

And what do they expect to achieve there ?

With about 3 million, Mongolia has a population comparable to Armenia - only distributed over ten times the area. Wedged between Russia and China, with a language no American speaks, and a culture no American understands.

codis Perhaps being power hungry is enough reason.

ReRan Destabilising it would cause big problems for both China and Russia at the same time, they want chaos in this area, and it would be enough for them.

Saiko But what is there, except a few trade routes perhaps ?

Neither a significant population, nor significant resources. Except for Ulan Bator (as we used to write it), just a few nomadic herders with their yurts and animals.

Plain destructive geostrategic vandalism.

Saiko Pity the Mongolians, then.

codis "Neither a significant population, nor significant resources."

According to the CIA World Factbook, Mongolia's resources include "oil, coal, copper, molybdenum, tungsten, phosphates, tin, nickel, zinc, fluorspar, gold, silver, iron." In a vast area. Look again at the map. There may even be other undiscovered resources, since it IS such a vast area.

With such an insignificant population, I am sure the calculus is that it will not take too large an investment from USGOV to destabilize the country, overthrow its government, and plunder those resources for Western corporations and oligarchs.

But even more important, sitting between China and Russia, it is in a good position to inhibit the Belt and Road Initiative, which is a vast Chinese project which terrifies the USA and its Western vassals. For them, the only good progress for humanity is "progress" which yields fabulous sums of loot only for the bankers and corporations that control the West.

That might well be, even if the CIA write it ...

However, nothing Russia does not have, and cannot get cheaper inside their own country.

What is lacking is the infrastructure and the manpower to exploit this resources.

By the way, Mongolia traditionally had good relations with Russia during the last century.

And my main point remains - it is a landlocke country, surrounded by Russia and China. HTF whould the Americans want to get there without asking the "enemy" for permission ?!?

Exactly. The same problem Russia faces in the vast empty spaces of Siberia, with an even longer list of resources which the thieves in the West would love to get their hands on. However, being landlocked does not matter. US diplomatic personnel do not travel there by car or train. (Question: Why has there never been a coup in the USA? Answer: There is no US Embassy in Washington, DC - amusing but true.)

It has a small population, but those people are quite sophisticated and well educated. The infrastructure is excellent, what there is of it. BUT the main point is that everywhere in the world - everywhere - the US behaves like the proverbial dog with a bone: "If I can't have it, for damn sure nobody else will." Translation: "We will obstruct and wreck the Chinese BRI just for spite, so that we will remain the top dog in the world." And Mongolia (as well as Kazakhstan, Xinjiang and other Stans) is in the perfect location to achieve that.

As the situation of the West and the US continuously worsens and the influence shrinks, it will become exponentially more difficult to find moronic traitors like Pashinyan or *elensky for this insider job.

Especially since it became clear now that US/Nato cannot come to anynoe's rescue even in Europe, much less Central Asia.

One can have great plans to conquer the world - if they are realistic is a totally different question.

OTOH Mussolini and Ceaușescu seemed untouchable and above the law, as long as they were in control.
