This Is a Declaration of
War

- At times I feel completely overwhelmed by
the current US-NATO military operations
aimed at Russia. It's growing rapidly - one
can't help but wonder if the recent
'victory' of the self-defensive forces in
eastern Ukraine wasn't allowed by Washington
and Kiev as a way to get public opinion
behind the already well established plans
for even more NATO escalation.
It's all just far too neat and tidy to be
seen otherwise. This is not a conspiracy
but a well designed military plan to take
down Moscow. They are playing with fire. In
some respects the 'project' is now
impossible to stop. The question for the
moment is how long will this attack on
Russia go on and what level of conflict will
result? Will it go nuclear? If so the
world is fucked.
The Pentagon role now is to send legions of
NATO trainers into Ukraine to "push Kiev's
[reluctant] troops forward" in order to
"deter Russian aggression." It's a long
term military operation that is going to be
exceedingly expensive. It's got to be sold
to the American people and folks throughout
Europe. In order to make this public
relations campaign successful the
perpetrators have to flip the switch - turn
the story ass backwards - blame the other
side for doing what US-NATO are in fact
doing.
The source of the aggression is quite clear
to me. US-NATO are all over Russia's
border. I learned today that the current
right-wing Estonian
President Toomas Hendrik Ilves grew up
in New Jersey and went to Columbia
University. It's funny how the US is able
to continually put their agents into office
in key nations around the world.
Go back to post WW II and note how fascist
Syngman Rhee lived in the US and was
then put in power in South Korea to ensure
Washington's control. Recall the many
fascist dictators that the US repeatedly put
in place in Vietnam, Iran, Indonesia and
throughout Latin America and the African
continent. It's called good corporate
planning.
More recently in 2008 we saw Georgian
President Mikheil Saakashvili (also trained
in the US at George Washington University)
launch an attack on Russian speaking
republics South Ossetia and Abkhazia along
Russia's border. Russia responded to the
Georgian military strike against the people
there by counter-attacking Georgia. The
fighting took place in the strategically
important
Transcaucasia region which borders the
Middle East.
I'll never forget watching the first US
politician to arrive in Georgia after the
2008 shooting war subsided. It was then
Sen. Joe Biden who made that visit, just
months before being selected as Obama's
running mate. Biden came back slinging much
anti-Russian rhetoric and most
importantly threatened Russia with dire
consequences if it did not do as instructed
by Washington and Brussels. Biden of
course also led the effort in the Senate to
send more weapons and US military 'trainers'
to Georgia. So this is all a familiar
story.
Just this morning NPR (National Public
Radio) had an interview with a Russian woman
who 'fingered' Putin as the one who called
for the killing of Boris Nemtsov this past
weekend in Moscow. It's all so damn
convenient - the pieces just keep tumbling
into place as the case is made for war with
Russia in order to contain the
'evil Putin'. Can you see Manuel
Noriega (Panama), Saddam Hussein
(Iraq), and Muammar Qaddafi (Libya) all over
again? It's a tried and true twisting of
the truth in order to set up supposed
'obstacles' for take down. It's always sold
though as the mighty super-moral US swooping
in to protect 'freedom and democracy'. Walt
Disney couldn't have done this any better.
The US-NATO expansion of the conflict in
Ukraine is indeed a declaration of war
against Russia. And from what I can make
out the Russian people see the writing on
the wall - they can hear the train coming.
Sadly the American people have no clue what
is going on nor do most of those in Europe.
This project has been set up with criminal
precision. After all the CIA and the
Pentagon have had alot of practice over the
years. This is what Washington does best.
