It is a gratuitous and reckless act for Washington to send the message to Russia and China that they must choose vassalage or war.
It is not only American generals who are irresponsible and declare on the basis of no evidence whatsoever that “Russia is an existential threat to the United States” and also to the Baltic states, Poland, Georgia, Ukraine, and all of Europe. British generals also participate in the warmongering. UK retired general and former NATO commander Sir Richard Shirreff, Deputy Supreme Allied Commander in Europe until 2014, has just declared that nuclear war with Russia is “entirely possible” within the year.
My loyal readers know that I, myself, have been warning for some time about the likelihood of nuclear war. However, there is a vast difference between me and the Western generals. I see the war as the consequence of the neoconservative drive for US world hegemony. The neoconservative drive for world hegemony is acknowledged by the neoconservatives themselves in their public position papers, and it has a 15 year record of being implemented in America’s many and ongoing wars in the Middle East and Africa. Although the Presstitute media does its best to keep our focus away from the known facts, the facts remain known.
The position of the Western generals is that “Russian aggression” is driving an innocent America/NATO to nuclear war.
Here is General Shirreff’s list of “Russian aggressions”: “He [Putin] has invaded Georgia, he has invaded the Crimea, he has invaded Ukraine. He has used force and got away with it. In a period of tension, an attack on the Baltic states… is entirely plausible.” Shirreff is talking about make-believe happenings that even if real would be taking place inside what were until recently Russia’s long-standing national boundaries.
General Shirreff strikes me as either uninformed or a dissembler. It is the United States and Israel who use force and get away with it. The Russian invasion of the former Russian province, Georgia, was a response to the American puppet government’s invasion of South Ossetia in which the American and Israeli trained and equipped Georgia troops killed Russian peace-keeping troops and a large number of South Ossetian civilians while the Russian government was at the Beijing Olympics.
It only took a small fraction of the Russian Army a few hours to roll up the American and Israeli trained Georgian Army. Putin had the former Russian province in his hand. He could have hung the American puppet president and reincorporated Georgia back into Russia, where if probably belongs, having spent all of modern history in that location.
But Putin did not see Georgia as a prize, and having made his point, let the Americans have their puppet state back. The president at the time, a scummy scoundrel, was thrown out of the country by Georgians and now serves the American puppet state of Ukraine, like so many others who are not Ukrainian. Apparently, Washington can’t find enough Ukrainians who will sell out their country for Washington and has to bring in foreigners to help Washington rule Ukraine.
There has been, alas, no Russian invasion of Ukraine. Putin would not even accept the pleas of the Russian majority populations in the breakaway provinces of Donetsk and Luhansk to be reincorporated back into Russia where they belong. If Putin actually wanted Ukraine, he doesn’t need to send in an army. He can take back the eastern and southern parts just by accepting the pleas of the people to again be a part of Russia.
The only plea that Putin accepted was that of the Crimeans, who with an extremely high turnout never experienced in “western democracies” voted 97.6 percent to rejoin Russia, where Crimea resided for longer than the US has existed, until Khrushchev, a Ukrainian, transferred Crimea from the Russian Soviet Republic to the Ukrainian Soviet Republic when both were provinces of the Soviet Union.
Little doubt that Putin accepted Crimea’s plea because Russia’s only warm water port and entrance into the Mediterranean Sea is Russia’s naval base in Crimea, and little doubt that Putin refused Donetsk and Luhansk in order to deflect Washington’s propagandistic charges, such of those of former general Shirreff. Putin reasoned, mistakenly in my view, that his refusal to accept Donetsk and Luhansk would reassure Washington’s NATO puppet states and lessen Washington’s influence over Europe. For the corrupt Europeans, facts are of no consequence. Washington’s money prevails.
Putin doesn’t understand the power of Washington’s money. In the entire West only money counts. There is no such thing as Washington’s word, government integrity, truth, or even empirical facts. There are only well- propagated lies. The entire West is a lie. The West exists for one reason only: corporate profits.
The retired general Shirreff claims, without any evidence, which is typical, that Putin “used force and got away with it.”
What force is the general talking about? Can he identify the force? The independent international observers of the Crimean voting report that it was completely fair, that there was no intimidation, no troops or any Russian intimidation present.
The former NATO general Shirreff believes that a Russian attack “on the Baltic states is entirely possible.” For what reason? The Baltic states, former provinces of the Soviet Union, comprise no threat whatsoever to Russia. The Russians have no reason whatsoever to attack the Baltic states. It was Russia that gave the Baltic states their independence. Just as it was Russia that gave Ukraine and Georgia their independence.
Imperial Washington is leveraging the reasonableness of the Russian government to put Russia in a propagandistic light. The Russian government has permitted itself to be put on the defensive and has given the attack to Washington.
Russia has not attacked anyone except the terrorist group ISIS. Allegedly, Washington is opposed to terrorism, but Washington has been using ISIS in an effort to overthrow the Syrian government with terrorism. Russia has put a halt to that. The question before us is whether the Russian government so desires to be accepted by the West that Putin sells out Syria to Washington/Israeli dismemberment in order to show that Russia is a good partner for the West.
If Russia doesn’t get over its affection for the West, Russia will lose its independence.
My understanding is that Russia has been resurrected as a Christian, morally principally country, perhaps the only one on earth. The question that the Russian people and their Russian government need, desperately, to ask themselves is: Do we want to be associated with the War Criminal West that disobeys not only its own laws, but also international laws?
The vast majority of the evil in the world resides in the West. It is the west with its lies and greed that has devastated millions of people in 7 countries during the new 21st century. This is the most threatening beginning of a new millennium in modern times.
Unsatisfied with its looting of the Third World, South America, Greece, Portugal, Latvia, Argentina, and now Brazil and Ukraine, the Western Capitalists have their sights set on Russia, China, India, and South Africa.
What a prize it would be to get Russia with all that vast expanse of Siberia that can be environmentally brutalized and destroyed for capitalist profits.
The Russian government’s offering of free land in Siberia had better be limited to Russian citizens. Otherwise, the land is likely to be bought up by the West, which will use its ownership of Russia to destroy the country.
The Russians and the Chinese are blinded by the fact that they lived for decades under oppressive and failed regimes. They look to the West as success. Their misreading of the West endangers their independence.
Neither Russia nor China seek conflict. It is a gratuitous and reckless act for Washington to send the message to Russia and China that they must choose vassalage or war.
It is very clear that, “democracy” from the Black Hitlers point of view, is more about him selecting a foreign nation’s government than any actual will of the people in any given nation. In the nation Ukraine we can clearly see that the Black Hitler’s anti terrorist operation was to ensure the disappearance of millions of ethnic Russian-Ukrainian voters. Whether they were murdered or fled to Russia wasn’t important, it was just important that they they could no longer vote. According to the Rand Corporation memo this was the plan all along to allow the ethnic cleansing of voters to create an entirely new makeup of Ukraine’s government, a government that was totally beholden to America.
As we all know from the Victoria Nuland tapes the Black Hitler had already selected Arseniy Yatsenyuk as his man to run the new fascist Ukraine so any existing elected government that stood in his way had to be removed, along with their most ardent supporters, the people of the Donbass who voted 90% for the government that the Black Hitler threw out in a violent bloody coup.
Ethnic cleansing and genocide has been the tool of the Black Hitler since his first days in office, look at Libya, Syria, etc etc etc. If you kill enough voters you can bring any group to power including Nazi’s (Ukraine) and Terrorists (Syria), you just have to be evil enough to do it.
You are right on about Obomber. However is misleading to speak of him as the “Black Hitler”. Obama is much more accurately compared to Stalin a creation of Zionism (Communism) and western financing who has the blood of millions of Russians on his hands. Hitler was a mortal enemy of Communism. When you understand how Hitler tried to free German people from “international capitalists” you will understand the “struggle” required for we the people to restore the US republic.
Adolf putin and his silovik (hard core kremlin militaristic THUGS) are more dangerous than Adolf Hitler and his SS.
Adolf putin and his silovik are SOVOK THUGs trying to recreate the former COLLAPSED soviet union and more…and the alcoholic, subservient russian people are willing participants PERIOD!
LOSER russian INTERNET TROLLS on here pose as WESTERN COMMENTORS and keep trying to put doubt in FREE people’s minds against the FREE WORLD. the TROLLS are stuck with the following in their pathetic lives:
1. they DIE around 60 years old because everything about their culture adds up, their mortality is significantly lower than any other country.
2. the MAJORITY OF ALL rusky’s are MAJOR ALCOHOLICS and are IMPOTENT from ALCOHOLISM
3. TROLLING is their only JOB since all GREAT opportunity ran from russia…. 2 US pennies for each propaganda post since the ruble COLLAPSED and funded by the kremlin
4. they have NEVER HAD A FUTURE or ANYTHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO given their soviet kgb leaders, no JOBs, no JOY, no FUTURE, NOTHING!…they can’t get it UP from Alcoholism.
5. they NEVER HAD THE B awlls to FIGHT FOR FREEDOM and let the WILL of the INDIVIDUAL FLOURISH, they are willing to be led by a NOSE HOOK.
6. AND their LIPs are surgically sewn to Adolf putin Tail Hole and EAT all his K rAP
7. Like “almost” all russians, they are irreversibly SOVOK and believe in the Totalitarian mindset.
Lastly…just for fun, Google “putin’s Palace” he spends billions on his opulent compound on the Black Sea…he is worth $80 Billion. The same for his kremlin THUGS, they stole the wealth of the country. All these corrupt oligarchs are buying up nice homes in the Free West with their Billions for the Good Life while the russian people suffer …and these russian INTERNET TROLLs get paid 2 cents a propaganda post paid for by the kremlin as part of their “30 ruble army”. In russia Moscow University students and others get taught to craft kremlin propaganda, in the Free World, we teach them to create innovative technologies and start up new businesses
Typical and tacky low grade Russian propaganda. Its Putin that’s doing all the killing these days. 9000 dead in the Ukriane war that he started not including the 298 innocent passengers and crew on Malaysian Airlines flight 17 and now the indiscriminate bombing of hospitals run by NGOs in Syria. Self introspection has never been a quality that Russians are good at as its always been easier to blame the West for every evil internally or externally. If it where then Russia would be in a much better place and in much better shape today but it’s not.
The same mistakes which have caused Russians so much misery in the past are being perpetrated once again and There is no sign that anything will change.
Another dictator, economic and political isolation, blatant agression against a weaker neighboring nation like Ukraine, increasing political repression inside Russia being masked by xenophobic nationalism.
Learning from the mistakes of the past is essential for any nation to NOT perpetually repeat them but such is not the case in Russia. There is an old saying. “The definition of insanity is to do the same things over again and expect different results” Russia will have to suffer yet again because of it unwillingness to learn from the mistakes of its past.

Russia’s Lurch Toward Fascism
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/stephen-blank/russias-lurch-toward-fasc_b_5169230.html
“We run the risk of missing critical aspects of Russian policy if we assume that Moscow’s continuing invasions of Ukraine are exclusively about Russo-Ukrainian issues. One of the founding fathers of Soviet studies, Adam Ulam, observed back in 1965 that empire was the biggest obstacle to reform in Russian history. That is still the case; the Kremlin’s attempts to destroy the foundations of Ukrainian statehood, sovereignty, and territorial integrity are also aimed at Russia’s domestic opposition to Putin. It represents the culmination of his campaign to suppress political dissent under a wave of officially imposed quasi-religious nationalism akin to that of the later Tsars and (more recently) to the late Stalin and late Brezhnev periods.
Thus, Moscow’s Ukrainian operation has been accompanied by ever-mounting pressure against media and other critics of the regime, and by the suppression of domestic dissent. Indeed, even as Moscow fulminates against supposed neo-Nazis and anti-Semites terrorizing Ukraine, its media regularly publishes articles darkly speculating about the allegedly Jewish origin of Russian dissidents and its officials feel no inhibition about making openly anti-Semitic remarks to their foreign interlocutors. Evidently, Moscow feels that it alone has the right to employ anti-Semitism as a weapon of political warfare.
This, coupled with escalating domestic repression and mounting religious-nationalist chauvinism of the state and official media, evokes the late Stalinist and Brezhnev periods. But what we really see emerging are clear aspects of fascism. Not long ago, the columnist George Will called Putin a little strutting Mussolini. The description fits; although the Russian government remains a patrimonial Muscovite autocracy, symptoms of fascism abound — and they are multiplying.”
Written by Stephen Blank of the American Foreign Policy Council – a decidedly narrowed-by-political-blinders perspective. And then George Will from Fox News? Really?
No wonder your views accept reflect U.S. propaganda so readily.
American Propaganda? Wherever this “American propaganda is its nothing as repulsive as what comes out of St Petersburg Russia these days. Read this and be informed.

The author of this article is wrong. The provocations have come from Russia, not the West. Russia under its Dictator Vladimir Putin have for the past 3 years been engaging in provocative and destabilizing actions and behavior. The illegal annexation of the sovereign Ukrainian territory of Crimea, The invasion of Eastern Ukraine and subsequent lies from the Kremlin denying the obvious. The brutal shoot down of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 over Ukraine on July 17 2014 with the loss of 298 innocent passengers and crew and the outright and blatant lies from the Kremlin attempting to blame Ukraine for this tragedy, The indiscriminate bombing of NGO hospitals and civilians in Syria. Men like Vladimir Putin ONLY respect strength and dispise weakness. No meaningful progress towards any course that will ease tension between Russia and NATO can come about if Putin thinks that NATO lacks the will and commitment to use its power if nessarsary
The recent deployment and rotation of a U.S. Armored Brigade and the pre-positioning of equipment in the Baltic States and a more robust training regime by NATO forces on NATOs northeastern flank and the activation of Missile interceptor sites in Romania are steps in the right direction. They have heightened Russian bellicose rhetoric and counter moves BUT they have also served notice to Mr Putin that NATO is serious about fulfilling its mission of collective security for its member nations
Faced with a more determined and reenergizing NATO in Northeastern Europe and a increasingly constricted economy due to western economic sanctions and low global oil prices, the leaders of NATO might just be surprised to see just how cooperative Vladimir Putin can really be when he s given the right incentives and those incentives are a failing economy, international isolation and the rumblings of domestic discontent in Russia due to Russia International and economic isolation by the West.
I must say that this article is seemingly criticizing Washington, rather than Russia’s immunity vassalage.
Becase Washington is corrupt!
