‘West has been destroyed without a shot fired’ – Russia

With Russia announcing that its troops are pulling back following the completion of exercises near the border with Ukraine, Moscow has insisted that predictions it could be just moments away from ordering a full-blown invasion have been proven false.

In a fiery statement on Tuesday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova poured scorn on weeks of reports and claims from US and European officials that Moscow’s armed forces could be just hours away from launching a strike against its neighbor.

“15 February 2022 will go down in history as the day Western war propaganda failed,” she wrote. According to her, the West has been “shamed and destroyed without firing a single shot.”

So Biden, Sullivan, Stoltenberg, UK PM & defense officials, presstitutes, where is the “Russian Invasion”?

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

So Biden, where is the “imminent Russian Invasion of Ukraine?” Where, Jake Sullivan, is the “major military action that could begin any day now?” Where UK government, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, NY Times, Bloomberg, Washington Post, BBC, and the rest of the presstitutes are the Russian hordes that are supposed to be overrunning Ukraine?”

As my posting this morning reminds, Washington has been predicting a Russian invasion of Ukraine for 8 years. https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/02/15/washington-has-been-predicting-a-russian-invasion-of-ukraine-for-8-years/

What is 8 years of this obvious propaganda all about?

It is about demonizing Russia and her leader. It is about using fear of Russia to control Europe. It is about arms sales to Europe to “deter Russian aggression.”

Since Washington Wants War So Badly Why Doesn’t Washington Simply Attack Russia?

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Washington keeps on adding fuel to what it says is a Ukrainian crisis. Washington puppet Jens Stoltenberg, the nominal secretary-general of NATO, says NATO is considering a larger and permanent Black Sea presence. The Black Sea is to Russia what the Mediterranean Sea was to the Romans–mare nostrum, “our sea.” Stoltenberg’s announcement is akin to Russia announcing that Russia is considering establishing a “Chesapeake Bay Battle Group.” Stoltenberg added that NATO is planning to establish battle groups in Romania and in other countries around the Black Sea. Why such dangerous provocative actions at a time of such high tension? Why is Washington pouring gasoline on a fire?

Pentagon Pulls Forces From Ukraine For “Safety & Security” As Biden Phones Putin

Via ZeroHedge

The Pentagon has confirmed Saturday it has ordered soldiers who were in Ukraine training national forces out of the country, amid US fears that a Russian military offensive is imminent. It appears the US is moving its military assets out of the way, not wanting them to be targets of any potential invasion.

Specifically US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin identified that the some 160 Florida National Guard soldiers who had been in the country since November would be moved “elsewhere in Europe”.

What Is Washington Up To?

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

It appears that my column this morning and an earlier one is incorrect when I say there is no Ukrainian crisis. What I meant is that there is no real crisis. But there is a Washington-orchestrated crisis that will be made real by a Washington false flag event and endless propaganda from the Western media.

Washington continues to hype the claim that Russia is going to invade Ukraine. Yesterday Biden warned American citizens to leave Ukraine now, because he will not send US soldiers to rescue them and escort them out of Ukraine once the hostilities begin. He said that sending US troops to Ukraine could lead to a world war.

Oil Soars, Ruble Tumbles On Report “US Believes” Putin Will Launch “Horrific, Bloody ” Invasion Of Ukraine Next Week

Via ZeroHedge

When it comes to the geopolitical hot spot du jour, every day it Groundhog Dog, with a random daily leak out of the deep state through its preferred mouthpieces hinting that a Russian invasion on Ukraine is imminent even if there is zero evidence confirming this, and today was no different…

… only today the deep state has been especially persistent and moment ago PBS reported that according to three (deep state) officials, “the U.S. believes Putin has decided to invade Ukraine and communicated those plans to the Russian military,” with two admin officials saying they “expect the invasion to begin next week—echoing what Secretary of State Blinken has said.”

General Milley Tells Congress to Be Careful Who You Shake Your Fist At

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Ukraine’s foreign minister boasts that in the past few months Western governments have handed over $1.5 billion in bribes, that is, aid, and “more than 1,000 tons of arms and armaments” to keep the pot boiling. If the tons are US tons, that comes to 2,000,000 pounds of arms and ammunition.

Why?

As I have written repeatedly, as have The Saker and Andrei Martyanov, the Russian military can conquer all of Ukraine in a few hours with very light casualties. The money and arms being sent by Washington and its puppet states in Europe could not affect the outcome.
