Humpty
Dumpty Has Had a Great Fall

- While the crazed and corrupt
people who comprise the Democratic Party and US
print and TV media continue to insist that
Russiagate is real, a very real threat is
emerging in Russia, China, North Korea, and
Iran. The threat arises from the fact that
Washington has taught each country to have no
trust in America’s veracity. The governments of
the four countries have learned that everything
Washington says is a lie.
Moreover, the countries have learned that
Washington does not accept their sovereignty and
objects to their existence. Each of the four
countries has experienced sanctions designed to
overthrow their governments or cause them to
submit to Washington’s will.
Russia
long ago saw through Washington’s disingenuous
claim that the missile ring that Washington has
arrayed around Russia is defensive and directed
against (non-existent) Iranian missiles. Putin
has said many times that the “defensive”
missiles can easily and quickly be converted
into nuclear armed offensive missiles that leave
Russia no response time. I have always been
amazed at the utter stupidity of the Polish and
Romanian governments for accepting these
American missiles. No doubt the Polish and
Romanian officials were paid handsome bribes,
but money is no good to a dead person. You can
bet your life that the Russians are not going to
permit such operable weapons to be on Russian
borders during a time of high tensions that
exists today between the West and Russia.
Not
content with this reckless provocation of
Russia, the dumbshits that comprise the US
government have announced a program to put
weapons in space that can neutralize Russia and
China’s nuclear deterrent. This reckless and
irresponsible plan did not go unnoticed in
Russia. Lieutenant General Viktor Poznikhir,
Deputy Chief of the Russian General Staff
Operative Command, declared last week that
Washington’s “on-start interception” program
reveals that Washington is preparing a
preemptive nuclear attack on Russia and China.
You can bet your life that Russia and China are
not going to sit there and wait for Washington’s
attack, expecially as Russia has coming into
deployment hypersonic missiles incapable of
interception by any known or deployed means.
What
Washington and its corrupt European vassals are
doing is preparing the grave for the Western
world, a good riddance as far as the rest of the
world is concerned.
In the
US self-interested political propaganda has
succeeded in crowding out all attention to real
issues, such as mass displacement of jobs by
robotics, global warming whatever the cause, and
the rising risk of nuclear war. When the rest of
the world looks at the West, it sees an insane
asylum in which the two greatest threats to
American national security are said to be
Venezuela and a Russian agent in the Oval
Office.
It is
impossible for anyone to take a country this
silly seriously. Consequently, American power is
collapsing, to everyone else’s relief. Even
Washington’s well paid puppets in Germany,
Britain, and France are showing signs of
independence that have not been seen since the
days of Charles DeGaulle.
The
Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and North Koreans
know that they are dealing with fools, and they
are not going to take any chances. They know
that no agreement with America means anything
and that Washington speaks only with a forked
tongue.
Washington is going to be increasingly
frustrated abroad as willingness to cooperate
with the insane asylum vanishes. The consequence
will be increasing tyranny at home.
