My mentioning of the borsht reminded us that we were actually on a dinner cruise, and since the dinner was included in the fare, we saw no reason why we should not have a bowl.
It turned out that Nic had been right in recommending it. The famous beet soup was served with country style bread and butter and spicy sausage to go with the bread. The restaurant on board was far from being as spacious as on real ocean going cruise ships. But it was clean, decorated with maritime relics and pictures of other ships that were produced in Rostov, especially those that served in the Great Patriotic War against the Nazi invasion.
"Was it self-preservation that caused those huge sacrifices to be made by the Russian people, that were made to push Hitler's army back out of Russia?" I asked Nic while we were eating. "Or was it a deep-seated love for Russia?"
Nic just smiled. "Why did America fight? I think we were both fighting this war to save humanity. I don't think America was in the war to save the British Empire. Roosevelt made this quite clear and promised that the Empire would be shut down after the war. I think the whole world was in this war to save civilization from fascism. If Roosevelt had not died before the war concluded, the Soviet Union would not be in danger as it is right now. There would have been no Cold War. When Roosevelt died fascism was saved. It was saved by the Empire and was promoted to the hilt to become a global force once again. All the huge sacrifices that were made by our people and by your people in the Great Patriotic War, to rid the world of fascism, have been betrayed, Peter. When the Soviet Union becomes defeated from within, as we both see it now happening, the Empire will descend on our two countries like fascist vultures and rape them. We will both be looted to the point that the population will no longer be able to maintain its physical existence and many more millions of people will die as a consequence. More people will be killed in this silent way than were killed during the Great War and in all the wars put together that Russia fought. I need your help to prevent this, Peter. We have come to the end of what may be called one day, the Three Hundred Years War. That began after the Venetian oligarchy transplanted itself into England to become the biggest private world-empire in history. It has now brought mankind to its knees. We are loosing the war that they are waging against mankind, Peter, and you are loosing it too in America, and mankind is loosing it universally. It was comparatively easy for us in the olden day to defend our country against Hitler in the Great Patriotic War, because we could see the enemy. It is comparatively easy to fight against an attacker that one can see. But the Three Hundred Years War that we are in the process of loosing, is a cultural war that one can barely recognize as being in progress. There is nobody facing one that one can fight back against. The empire is fighting a war against truth and has enlisted mankind to help them. How does one fight that? How does one repel insanity, especially when the only weapon that one can possibly have to defend oneself with has been trashed? Just name me one institution anywhere in the world that will even listen to you when you say that Love-Based Economics is rooted in truth and that it is the only real platform for economics that exists; that the Principle of Universal Love IS its principle. No one will listen to you. No one will believe it. They'll laugh at you and call you an idiot. How can you win against that and turn the whole of mankind around to save it from its impending collapse? If you have any idea that can help that we haven't already thought of, please share it."
"You want me to help you save the Soviet Union?" I said quietly. "I don't know if I can. I have just started to move on this line of thinking six weeks ago."
"You mean, you don't know if you should help us, Peter. You may be telling yourself that if the Soviet Union disintegrates, this will end the Cold War. It won't end it; I can guarantee you that. The Cold War will continue for as long as the Western Empire exists. The Cold War isn't about nuclear weapons, nor is it about communism and the so-called free world. It's about destroying Russia and America together for imperial goals. Luckily the Russian people didn't comply too well with the imperial demands. At first the imperials pushed communism on us, to destroy us. It appears we didn't comply as fully as they had hoped, so they bought Hitler into power to finish us off. But that too, didn't work as they thought it would. Nor did the Cold War do it. We still have too much of a spark of our humanity left in us on both sides. But Peter, for how long can our spark be maintained under these horrendous cultural warfare condition that both of our countries are subjected to?"
