Americans, for the most part a clueless people, have no awareness of the risk that the criminally insane government in Washington is taking with their lives.
Here is Jason Ditz on the coming end of the world.
Vladimir Soloviev explains the failure of Putin’s policy of appeasement.
If you were the president of France or the prime minister of the UK, would you permit criminally insane Washington to drag you into military conflict with Russia?
I didn’t think so. I wouldn’t either. So what’s with Macron and May? What’s with the French and British governments? What’s with the French and British media? I read recently that former UK Labour Prime Minister Tony Blair is now worth $100 million—his payoff for lying to the UK government and people in order to support the George W. Bush regime’s invasion of Iraq. Have Macron and May been promised the same?
It makes no sense for the UK and French governments to make themselves targets of a military power against which they have no possibility of defense. It makes no sense that their peoples and media sit silently while one French president and one British prime minister endanger not only France and the UK but the entirety of Europe. What’s with the European Union? There is only silence as Europe, and the world with it, are taken to the brink of annihilation. This makes no sense.
People in Ghouta, doctors in Ghouta, and Russian experts who have arrived on the scene report that there is no sign of any chemical attack. Not only did Syria not use chemical weapons against the civilians that it liberated, there was no chemical attack, not even a false flag one staged by the US supported mercenaries who have been driven out of Ghouta by the Syrian Army. In other words, the chemical attack is entirely a hoax.
To keep the hoax from being confirmed by independent investigation, Washington vetoed a UN Security Council resolution to send in neutral experts to evaluate the claim of chemical attack. Why would Washington prevent an investigation that would prove Washington’s allegation? Clearly, Washington would only prevent an investigation that would disprove the false allegation. There is no doubt whatsoever that Washington’s allegation is false and is being used as an excuse to force Russia to fight or to accept Washington’s hegemony in the Middle East.
What if there was a chemical attack? Why does it matter to people who are killed whether it was by bullets, bombs, missiles, or chemicals? Why is it so bad to use chemicals instead of Hellfire missiles? Why is it OK for Washington and Israel to blow up schools, hospitals, weddings, funerals, market places, and homes full of women and children with missiles, but not OK to kill people with chemicals? Why is it worth starting World War 3 over a hoax chemical weapons attack or a real one?
Americans, for the most part a clueless people, have no awareness of the risk that the criminally insane government in Washington is taking with their lives. What if the Russians mean what they say and do not again turn the other cheek and back down? What happens if Russia replies to force with force?
Why is it that only a few Internet sites are asking this question?

This all, rather worryingly, starting to look like the lead up to WW1. An aggressive USA, led by a megalomanic, urged on by a people who neither comprehend the situation in the region nor the potential fallout, up against Russia led by a leader seen by his own people as an icon, and both sides squaring up over a small nation in an all too familiar situation, that could provide the spark that sets off a final conflict.
The UK and France meanwhile, looking ever more like clueless stooges, are only too eager to get involved in order to divert attention away from their increasingly precarious home policies. Again, all too similar to the origins of WW1.
The problem is of course, unlike WW1, is a full on conflict between the USA and it’s lapdogs, and Russia really would be the war to end all wars..
If Western madness cannot be treated and cured any other way, euthanasia is in order. Our technologies are killing us and everything else on the planet anyway – perhaps, as with cancer, if it can’t be cut out it may need radiation treatment.
Very well written and thought out as usual. Americans get most of their news from mainstream TV, and therein lie the problem. The propaganda from the corporatists is never-ending and has a consistent message. Hard for us open minded, critical thinkers to counteract. Anyone have any ideas to break through the wall?
There is a belief that to create a mean, dangerous dog, always allow it to win. We American peasants may be causing that effect upon our authorities as we dumbly accept the absurd excuses for the greed and illegal actions which are constantly presented to us, the public. Worrisome is that the authorities seem ever-less concerned that the lies they spin make even the slightest sense, and there is the extra-worry that we are lied to with sadistic glee, a seven-year-old’s crowning insult to grown-ups. We will be damaged, maybe destroyed, as we allow our authorities to develop into unchecked, vicious domestic beasts.
