A New "Commu-Nazi" Agreement?

Dear Readers:

The Russia-Ukraine war, which began with Russia's offensive and invasion, is still ongoing. This war could actually have been shorter. The only reason for its prolongation is that the US and Europe continue to equip Ukraine with the latest technological weapons and military aid, despite all obstacles.

Europe knows very well from its recent history that if Russia wins this war, other countries will be next. Keeping or stopping Russia in Ukraine is the most important strategic goal Europe must pursue right now.

To better understand what is happening today, it is useful to briefly look at what happened in World War II:

COMMU-NAZI AGREEMENT

The word "Commu" is an abbreviation of the word "Communist".

The German name of the party founded by Hitler is "Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei" (National Socialist German Workers' Party - NSDAP).

Goebbels, who would later become Hitler's propaganda minister, published a brochure in 1926 under the name Nazi-Sozi. Thus, the word "Nazi" came into use for the first time.

The interesting thing is this: Hitler, his friends, and regime supporters never identified themselves as "Nazis". In their internal conversations, they preferred the word "National Socialist". Those not belonging to the NSDAP party and foreigners called Hitler and his friends "Nazis". The word "Nazi" never once came out of Hitler's mouth.

MOLOTOV-RIBBENTROP MEETING

World War II has not yet begun. Europe is boiling. The Soviet Union first sits down with France and England, trying to make an agreement. When the negotiations fail, Hitler, without losing time, sends Foreign Minister Ribbentrop to Moscow the next day. The talks between Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov and Ribbentrop quickly conclude, and on August 23, 1939, the German-Soviet Non-Aggression Pact (Agreement) is signed. (This agreement goes down in history as the 'Ribbentrop-Molotov Non-Aggression Pact'.)

This historic agreement has both "Visible" and "Secret" clauses. The world public is only informed of the "Visible" part, namely the "Non-Aggression Pact" expression.

World socialists and communists see no harm in this. In 1939, the Soviet Union was the only socialist state in the world. According to them, in an inter-imperialist war, the Soviet State should, of course, secure itself. Hadn't Lenin, during World War I, in 1917, said, "This is an imperialist war. It is not our (Bolsheviks') war," and withdrawn his soldiers from all fronts?

According to socialists and communists, Stalin was taking a similar measure. However, the truth of the matter was very different and would remain hidden for many years, because the "Secret Clause" put the Soviet Union in the position of an "Imperialist" country.

The provisions in the "Secret Clause" divided Eastern Europe (Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, etc.) and the Baltic states (Finland, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union with a clear line.

In the days following the agreement (one week later), on September 1, 1939, Hitler invaded Western Poland in accordance with the provisions of the "Secret Agreement". There was no sound from the Soviet Union. France and England declared war on Germany. 17 days later, in accordance with the provisions of the secret agreement, this time Stalin also invaded Eastern Poland.

In a short time, Eastern Europe and the Baltic countries were divided between the Soviet Union and Germany according to the provisions of the "Secret Agreement". It so happened that Nazi and Soviet soldiers met at the line determined in the secret agreement, even shaking hands and embracing with joy.

The Soviet Union quickly occupied the parts allocated to it in the Baltic and Eastern European regions, in accordance with the provisions of the "Secret Agreement". Nazi Germany also attacked France and England. America was not yet involved in the war.

Stalin was joyful and proud, thinking he had won a great strategic victory. He had expanded the borders of the Soviet Union to the middle of Europe. Only Soviet General Georgy Zhukov was disturbed by the secret agreement and the developments, but he would only be able to bring this up in his memoirs written years later.

General Zhukov

Stalin watched the relentless war in Europe with pleasure from the Kremlin. Hitler, who quickly defeated France and blockaded England with his submarines, turned his eyes eastward, to the Soviet Union. He had been planning this attack for months and had even dedicated the name of the 12th-century German King Barbarossa to this military operation.

Hitler called his generals to a meeting and explained his idea. Someone stood up: "Heil Hitler! We have a Non-Aggression Pact with the Soviet Union. We cannot do this!"

Hitler fumed: "Bring me the Agreement!"

The Agreement was carefully placed on the table. Hitler stood up, tore the text of the agreement, and threw it into the air: "There is no agreement anymore!"

When Germany defeated France, US President Roosevelt, who had not yet entered the war, sent a message to Stalin, saying that Hitler's next target would be the Soviet Union. According to rumor, when Stalin read this message, he puffed on his pipe and said, "These capitalists don't understand anything! Hitler will never attack us."

General Zhukov did not agree. He even made a suggestion: "Let's immediately evacuate the area up to Kyiv and dig trenches. Hitler will attack."

When Stalin spoke harshly, Zhukov left the meeting.

On June 21, a German soldier defected to the Soviet Union. He said that the Germans were about to attack the Soviet Union. This news was conveyed to Stalin. Stalin laughed at the news.

A day later, on June 22, 1941, Nazi Germany attacked the Soviet Union. Stalin was informed of the situation, but Stalin still did not want to believe it. Zhukov had been right. Nazi tanks were burning and destroying villages and cities in their path. There was not a single trench to stop them.

Millions of people died in a few weeks. Nazi tanks reached Leningrad and Moscow. Leningrad was about to fall. Stalin sent Zhukov to Leningrad. Zhukov implemented his famous strategy and stopped the Nazi armies.

Stalin experienced such deep disappointment that he locked himself in his room for days, lost in thought. Zhukov called Stalin many times, and when he couldn't reach him, he came to Moscow. At the door were men of KGB Chief Beria. They tried to prevent Zhukov from entering the room. Zhukov drew his pistol, pushed the guards, and entered the room. Stalin was lying on the sofa, his head wrapped in a large towel. It was as if he was not living in this world.

Zhukov spoke in an authoritative tone: "Comrade Stalin! Millions of Soviet citizens want to hear your voice. You must give them courage!"

Stalin went to the radio and made his famous speech. From that moment on, Zhukov's strategies were put into action, and the Nazis began to retreat. Soon, the Soviet victory banner waved over the ruins of the Reichstag (German Parliament).

Note: A similar situation occurred in Russian history in 1812. Napoleon attacked Russia with his army of half a million. General Mikhail Kutuzov asked the Tsar to burn and evacuate Moscow. The Tsar refused. The Tsar believed that Napoleon's army would be defeated before reaching Moscow. When Napoleon approached Moscow by 50 km, the Tsar was forced to implement Kutuzov's plan, set Moscow on fire, and evacuate the city. Napoleon, who took over an empty and burned Moscow, was greatly disappointed. It was at such a time that Kutuzov, with guerrilla and attrition warfare, and with the help of the cold, defeated Napoleon's army; only 10,000 out of half a million soldiers could return to Paris.

The fate of World War II was determined by five Generals: American Patton, British Montgomery, French De Gaulle, German Rommel, and Russian Zhukov. What a misfortune that Zhukov was the strongest among them, yet due to Stalin's jealousy, he remained in the shadows and was the least known.

SOVIET-MAOIST DEBATE IN THE LEFT YOUTH IN THE 1970s

The "Secret Clause" of the agreement signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union remained hidden for many years.

In 1976, I registered at the Istanbul Technical University Faculty of Electrical Engineering. The Gümüşsuyu Campus was teeming with left-wing political organizations and publications. (Centrist) Dev-Sol, (Enver Hoxhaist) Halkın Kurtuluşu, (Maoist) Halkın Birliği, (legal youth organization of the Communist Party of Turkey) İlerici Gençlik Derneği (İGD), Maoist TİKKO (TKP-ML). Pro-Soviet Özgürlük Yolu, Maoist KAWA, Maoist Rızgari, etc.

One of the most important topics of debate among the organizations was whether the Soviet Union collaborated with Hitler. Pro-Soviets stated definitively, "This is a Maoist fabrication. It is being done to discredit the Soviet Union. Stalin never collaborated with Hitler." I was also part of this group.

The Soviet Union officially denied the "Secret Agreement" until 1989. The French Communist Party rejected the claim of a "Secret Agreement" until 1968, but from that date onwards, because the FCP rejected Stalin's legacy, it implicitly hinted that a "Secret Agreement" might exist, but it had no evidence.

In December 1989, Mikhail Gorbachev formed a commission to investigate whether such a "Secret Agreement" existed. When the commission announced its findings, the Soviet people faced a terrible reality as if they had taken a cold shower. Yes, Stalin had collaborated with Hitler and signed a secret agreement. Gorbachev presented the commission's report to the Congress of People's Deputies of the Soviet Union. The interesting thing is that since the "Secret Agreement" was still in force according to international regulations, the Soviet Union and Germany immediately had to make a statement declaring that this Agreement was no longer valid.

The Maoists had been proven right. In a sense, this also legitimized the slogan "Social Fascist".

Yes, you will ask why I told this whole story. Now I can explain it.

CHINA-RUSSIA "SECRET" AGREEMENT

When the events we are experiencing are carefully examined, there is no doubt that there is a "Secret Agreement" between Russia and China regarding the re-division of Europe and Asia. For example, China never condemned Russia's attack on Ukraine.

The Secret Agreement was most likely made on this axis: Russia will gradually retake the territories within the Soviet Union's borders, and China will take Taiwan at the first opportunity.

Russia has taken its first step. China is also about to act.

When Russia conducted days of live-fire exercises on the Ukrainian border, I expressed the opinion that "Russia will definitely attack Ukraine." Now, China is continuously conducting live-fire exercises, besieging Taiwan from all sides. Very soon, China will attack Taiwan.

The fact that Russia and China conduct live-fire exercises, i.e., preparations, before attacking their target country reminded me of the term "SERDAN," a term used in transhumance.

CHINA IS "SERDAN"ING TAIWAN

If you permit, I would like to present a glimpse into innocent Kurdish pastoral (rural/plateau) life:

I grew up in a semi-nomadic family. In my childhood, we spent May to September on the plateau. We had 50-60 cattle (cows), a few bulls, a "Kerê Gewr" (grey donkey), 4-5 dogs, and almost as many calves (golik) as cows. Our large black hair tent and conical white camp tent were side by side. In a distant corner of the black hair tent, there was a calf pen called "Koz," surrounded by stone walls. The black tent was surrounded all around by a kind of screen called "Çît."

A family in a black tent. In the background is a ÇÎT. Our çît's were woven with colorful threads in carpet patterns.

NOTE: I would like you not to confuse the "Çit" used by transhumant people with the fence used in gardens. For nomadic Kurds, "Çît" was as important as a work of art. Thin oak branches, peeled and about a meter long, were tied together with colorful (root dye) threads in a thousand different patterns on a special loom, and the resulting çît's were attached to stakes to surround the black tent.

The routines of daily life in transhumance never changed: We would wake up early in the morning, milk the cows, and the shepherds would take the cows to graze on the distant mountain slopes. My sister Leyla and I would usually take the calves, separated from their mothers, to a distant place and graze them; or rather, we would help them learn to graze. Many still needed mother's milk because they had no teeth. They would get hungry quickly because they couldn't eat grass.

Towards evening, we would bring the calves to the hair tent and put them in the pen we called "Koz." Then the cows would come. Thus, the milking process would begin.

Before continuing, I would like to make a small explanation regarding Kurmanji grammar:

The word "SER" is a noun and means "Head."

The word "DAN" is a verb and means "To give."

When written separately as SER DAN (noun+verb), it means "To apply, to visit."

When written together as SERDAN, it becomes a noun again, meaning "Application."

When written as SERDAN KIRIN (noun+verb), a new verb is produced. For transhumant people, the meaning of this verb is: "Take the calf out of the pen, release it, let it suckle its mother, and let its mother release her milk!"

Cows do not release their milk immediately. Therefore, it is not possible to milk a cow without doing SERDAN. A shepherd places his hand over the calf's nose, and when milk comes to one teat, he moves the calf's mouth to the other teat. In this way, when milk comes to all four teats, it means the cow is ready to be milked. Sometimes the cow does not want to give its milk, and the calf delivers such a hard blow with its head that its mother almost sways.

My mother would sit on her small stool and milk the cow, while the shepherd would try to restrain the calf, which couldn't stay still because it had been hungry all day. After the milking process was finished, the calf would be released and reunited with its mother's teats.

As you can see, military exercises, just like doing SERDAN, mean "preparation." When the SERDAN process, i.e., the exercises, are over, China seems to be about to "milk" Taiwan. The bitter truth that is forgotten is this: an attack on Taiwan means the beginning of World War III. Let's hope for the best!

From where to where...

Sincerely,
