Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
This morning the presstitute Bloomberg News published a headline: “Live: Russia invades Ukraine.” The dumbshits at Bloomberg, believed their own propaganda. Convinced it was going to happen, Bloomberg had the “invasion” pre-written and up it went on the newswire. The Kremlin spokesman said: “I guess, instead of ‘fake news’, we can now say ‘Bloomberg news.’”
The governments in the Western world, like the Western media, are ridiculously stupid, tyrannical, and opposed to free speech. And unlike their tyrannical forebears–Lenin, Hitler, Mao–they have zero public support–look, for example, at Canada: the capital taken over by truckers and the cowardly prime minister, rejected by the people, in hiding.
A few days ago the commander of the German Navy had to resign for expressing his opinion that Crimea would remain with Russia and that Putin “probably deserves respect.” The Ukrainian foreign minister complained about this statement of truth, and Germany, an occupied territory without sovereignty since the end of WW II that oppresses the German population in order to serve the profits of Big Pharma, fired her naval commander. It was all for nothing. Yesterday the chairman of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council said Ukraine’s military is not capable of taking over Crimea.
Of course it isn’t, and neither are NATO and the US. Moreover Crimea is populated by Russians. They have been there for centuries as Crimea is a part of Russia. In order to water down the Ukrainian population, Khrushchev put Crimea in Ukraine when Ukraine and Russia were Soviet provinces. Russia, not Ukraine, took Crimea from the Turks centuries ago. Ukraine has no claim to the territory. There are hardly any Ukrainians there. Only in the ridiculous West is it an “invasion” for a country to occupy its own territory and govern its own people.

When Russia does military maneuvers within its own borders = RUSSIAN AGRESSION!!!!
When the USA!USA!USA! overthrows the democratically elected government of Ukraine (Maidan), and sends about a BILLION dollars of lethal weapons to Ukraine, and sends USA Special Ops troop to Ukraine to help them “kill Russians”, and sends thousands of troops to Poland(with more on the way), and is sending nuke capableB-52s to Poland, and encourages as many NATO countries to send weapons and troops to countries bordering Russia, and places sanction after sanction on Russia (an act of war, imho) ……. well, NOTHING TO SEE HERE FOLKS, MOVE ALONG!!!
Fuck America Six Ways To Sunday!!! (I’m talking about our politicians and the MIC).
Don’t joke, by this time Wenzdey, the Rushins will be in Kyef.
Compared to what we’ve tried to do so many other places, most notably Afghanistan–a nation stuck in the 1500’s with no wish to advance–Ukraine was nothing. BTW, B-52’s have not been nuke carriers for 50 years or more. Too easy to detect and destroy, as they always were. Don’t be fooled by Dr. Strangelove. OTOH, we’ve still got 8 or 10 Ohio Class SSBNs, each of which is capable of destroying every major city and launch facility in Russia or China.
Serious question. I’ve just read some info/tech on the S-500 system. Pretty impressive with the hypersonic speed, ability to launch land>air, air to air and even from space.
Does this level of defense against ballistic missiles change the MADD equation? Not to mention “black hole” nuclear submarines…
I’m not as assured as you that things would be that simple.
PCR avoids the third rail of journalism. Jewknowwaddimean Vern?
Not always, but he doesn’t harp on it and never takes it on aside from generic zionism.
The headline I would like to see “Russia invades their true enemy, The American main stream media”. Maybe they can use that potato guy to make vodka…and NPR for BOORscht.
Who runs the Western media?
Who has videos of the Western political ‘leaders’ fucking kids?
China And Russian Military Leaders Can’t Stop Laughing: US DoD Thinks “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” Are MILITARY Necessities

American Pravda deserves every bit of that derision.
This so-called invasion has been imminent for months. Those of us who are not sycophants of the Presstitute media know that Russia has no intention of invading Ukraine. Is it possible that this endless threat being hyped by the Administration and the Western press is the diversion they are really seeking. No actual conflict necessary since such a conflict would be bloody with the Russian Army wiping out the forces of the corrupt west in a matter of hours. It did occur to me that we might see an H.G. Wells War of the Worlds scenario where the warmongers in DC script an invasion that is not a real invasion and people will believe it as they believed the Martians were marching down a Jersey road. This is preposterous an Putin must be having a field day with our stupidity.
Our politicians and media are not laughing stocks, they are dangerous psychopaths leading the country and the world on a path to destruction. Nothing funny about that.
