While Washington works assiduously to undermine the Minsk agreement that German chancellor Merkel and French president Hollande achieved in order to halt the military conflict in Ukraine, Washington has sent Victoria Nuland to Armenia to organize a “color revolution” or coup there, has sent Richard Miles as ambassador to Kyrgyzstan to do the same there, and has sent Pamela Spratlen as ambassador to Uzbekistan to purchase that government’s allegiance away from Russia. The result would be to break up the Collective Security Treaty Organization and present Russia and China with destabilization where they can least afford it.

Thus, Russia faces the renewal of conflict in Ukraine simultaneously with three more Ukraine-type situations along its Asian border.
And this is only the beginning of the pressure that Washington is mounting on Russia.
On March 18 the Secretary General of NATO denounced the peace settlement between Russia and Georgia that ended Georgia’s military assault on South Ossetia. The NATO Secretary General said that NATO rejects the settlement because it “hampers ongoing efforts by the international community to strengthen security and stability in the region.” Look closely at this statement. It defines the “international community” as Washington’s NATO puppet states, and it defines strengthening security and stability as removing buffers between Russia and Georgia so that Washington can position military bases in Georgia directly on Russia’s border.
In Poland and the Baltic states Washington and NATO lies about a pending Russian invasion are being used to justify provocative war games on Russia’s borders and to build up US forces in NATO military bases on Russia’s borders.
We have crazed US generals on national television calling for “killing Russians.”
The EU leadership has agreed to launch a propaganda war against Russia, broadcasting Washington’s lies inside Russia in an effort to undermine the Russian people’s support of their government.
All of this is being done in order to coerce Russia into handing over Crimea and its Black Sea naval base to Washington and accepting vassalage under Washington’s suzerainty.
If Saddam Hussein, Gaddafi, Assad, and the Taliban would not fold to Washington’s threats, why do the fools in Washington think Putin, who holds in his hands the largest nuclear arsenal in the world, will fold?
European governments, apparently, are incapable of any thought. Washington has set London and the capitals of every European country, as well as every American city, for destruction by Russian nuclear weapons. The stupid Europeans rush to destroy themselves in service to their Washington master.
Human intelligence has gone missing if after 14 years of US military aggression against eight countries the world does not understand that Washington is lost in arrogance and hubris and imagines itself the ruler of the universe who will tolerate no dissent from its will.
We know that the American, British, and European media are whores well paid to lie for their master. We know that the NATO commander and secretary general, if not the member countries, are lusting for war. We know that the American Dr. Strangeloves in the Pentagon and armaments industry cannot wait to test their ABMs and new weapons systems in which they always place excessive confidence. We know that the prime minister of Britain is a total cipher. But are the chancellor of Germany and the president of France ready for the destruction of their countries and of Europe? If the EU is of such value, why is the very existence of its populations put at risk in order to bow down and accept leadership from an insane Washington whose megalomania will destroy life on earth?
From what we’re seeing of the actions and attitudes being taken by our government in our name, perhaps we can surmise the underlying goals of these “leaders” are NOT serving the interest of we the people. Quite the contrary, looks like they’re baiting Russia to start a nuclear war (so the stink is on them), which quite possibly could wipe out most of Humanity.
Guys, it’s time we started considering this and what we do about it.
Greetings,
What defines a great empire is not how hard they can hit but the number of hits that they can take. The Romans were around for a thousand years because they could lose a legion or two and come back swinging.
Take, for example, the Germans in the second world war. Those guys took hit after hit and did not surrender until, frankly, there was no one left to surrender. It didn’t matter that we carpet bombed all of their cities or that they watched in disbelief as the Russians annihilated more than 200 combat divisions on the eastern front. The Russians had to fight their way all the way to the very center of Berlin and suffered more than 250,000 causalities to take a city with few defenders that had already been bombed into rubble by the Americans and British. Those guys could take a hit.
Lets look at the United States. Sure, we can hit hard but how many hits can we take? We are, frankly, a land of pathetic cowards that will not even go on public transit unless our children and elderly are first groped and publicly humiliated. This sick land of narcissists will not survive much past the loss of our banking system and satellite television.
When one or more of our cities disappear we’ll instantly cave in.
Watch, you’ll see.
I dare the Russians to nuke New York City, Baltimore, D.C., Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles, New York City again, San Francisco, Sacramento, Seattle, D.C. again, Albuquerque, Baltimore again, Philadelphia, Denver, Miami, Boston, Hartford, and New York City again.
