It can certainly be said that the risk for nuclear war is far greater today than it was less a year ago. Ever since the conflict in Ukraine began, the collective West and its vassals, also known as the “international community” have been engaged in a hybrid war against Russia, stopping just short of direct confrontation. Although some EU leaders like Borrell seem to think that the West is an active combatant in the conflict. “We must explain to our citizens that this is not someone else’s war,” Borrell said in an interview published by newspaper El Pais on Thursday. “The public must be willing to pay the price of supporting Ukraine and for preserving the unity of the EU.”
“We are at war. These things are not free,” he added.
The same Borrell offered his thoughts on Western hypocrisy and double standards in international affairs, with regards to the Zionist slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza this past week. “We are often criticized for double standards. But international politics is to a large degree about applying double standards. We do not use the same criteria for all problems,” he told El Pais newspaper, as cited on Thursday. A rare piece of honesty for a man who makes his living by lying and deceiving others. Yet he failed to mention why those double standards exist. International politics is only about applying double standards when you’re an imperialist and colonizer. Of course he wouldn’t mention that they don’t “use the same criteria for all problems” when it is his masters in Tel Aviv that are the ones waging war on defenceless people.
So this proves that the West throwing tantrums to the left and right over Ukraine really has nothing to do with concern for civilian lives lost. Because when the Zionists massacre children with impunity, the “international community” is pretty silent.
Illegal sanctions, rabid Russophobia, and supplying Kiev with heavy weaponry despite the known dangers of doing so, all show the West’s deeply rooted hatred of Russia. If anyone was still delusional to think that this hatred had anything to do with President Putin only, then these past months should’ve proven that it is Russia and the Russians that the “international community” hates with a passion. Why else would they ban Russian athletes, journalists and even ordinary citizens? Of course, the case would’ve been much different had Russia given up on its sovereignty and offered its territory to Washington. Only a non-sovereign and non-independent Russia can be considered “democratic” in the eyes of this “international community.”
The same hatred can be seen towards any country that has chosen independence over subservience to the West. The self-worshipping and racist West has always hated those who resist Western attempts to colonize and ravage their countries. This is why they also hate China and Iran with a passion. Yes, yes, I am also aware that they even hate their own non-Western allies because of the racist nature of the West.
Over the years since the fall of the Eastern Bloc, China and Russia, adopted a policy of cooperation with the United States and tried to make the Americans understand that it is possible to interact instead of confronting each other. It can be said that the peak of this policy was when Putin even proposed Russia’s membership in NATO. Putin’s purpose in bringing up Russia’s membership in NATO was to determine whether NATO is still seeking to destroy Russia or not. Well, it quickly became completely clear to Russia that the Americans are looking for Russia’s destruction through the expansion of NATO right up to Russia’s borders.
The Americans are doing the same thing in East Asia, and despite the fact that China has tried to engage with them through interaction and not confrontation, they are officially and unofficially seeking to destroy China. Nancy Pelosi’s childish attempt to create tensions between China and Taiwan and setting the stage for war in this region is an example of the same type of animosity that Washington has engaged in with Russia. Maybe if there was no war in Europe, the Americans would have done something to start a war in East Asia, but it seems that they saw that currently, they cannot fight on two fronts and they preferred to delay the process of starting a war in East Asia.
This American policy is no different from the policies that caused the start of World War I and II, and the continuation of these policies can lead the world to a third world war, which due to the existence of weapons that can destroy the world many times over, it is possible to imagine that the start of such a war may be the end of humanity.
Today, it is no longer a secret or a “crazy delusion” that the West is in a state of decline. It has been for some time but the average person wouldn’t have noticed this years ago. There’s no hiding it today, and the only ones left to deny this reality are die-hard liberals – or rather die-hard Empire supporters. These people, often journalists in the West, have gone on full denial mode and make up stories and fantasy scenarios of “Russia’s imminent collapse”. Try watching German or British coverage of Ukraine and you’ll see what I’m talking about.
In their desperation, they’ve reached such pathetic lows that they are now speculating over Putin’s health, presenting sad lies made up by “anonymous former MI6 agents” with “deep insight” into what’s going on the Kremlin, as absolute truth. The same desperation can be seen among Western politicians. They don’t live under any illusions and are fully aware of the imminent collapse that the West is facing. We observers shouldn’t be under any illusions either: the West won’t just accept defeat , especially not to those it considers to he inferior.
As the West declines, concurrently new powers are rising in the world. A multi-polar world is emerging with Russia, China and Iran leading it. But with the emergence of a multi-polar world, the dangers of nuclear war also grows.
Whenever the US is desperate to prove its “superiority”, it always resorts to Hollywood style showboating in an attempt to remind the world of its “awesome powers.” Take Nancy Pelosi’s provocative and dangerous stunt in Taiwan recently, or the concurrent “assassination” of Ayman Al-Zawahiri, the Al-Qaeda leader who according to the Taliban had been dead for months before the US, in true Hollywood fashion claimed to have killed him while he was on a balcony. Washington was quick to emphasize that no other person was killed and that the building wasn’t even destroyed, despite being allegedly hit by a missile. Biden took to the press and basically threatened the entire world: “No matter how long it takes, no matter where you hide, if you’re a threat to our people, the US will find you and take you out.”
The problem with these stunts is that sooner or later nobody is going to take them seriously anymore. Thus begins a dangerous and vicious spiral where the US constantly must take more risks to project its supposed power, leading it directly into confrontation with China, Russia or Iran as Washington keeps crossing more and more red lines.
Washington’s bruised ego, together with rabid racism and self-worship is a dangerous combo for an empire that is desperate to preserve its hegemony. Remember that it is the same regime that did not hesitate to use nuclear weapons against Japan, and still takes pride in doing so.
As the West is declining and possibly collapsing, one has to wonder if their hatred for the rest of the world is greater than their sense of self-preservation. If their “world order” isn’t going to prevail, will they allow humanity to even exist?
The greed and hatred of the West cannot lead to the end of the world, even if it leads to a nuclear war, the end of the world/earth is described in the bible in 2 Peter 3:10-11 God’s jugdement hand ends the world, but the West will rather end its dispensation of the world.
Well said, I agree, God will be the One who decides when His creation ends, not the US or any other nation. There is only one group that has God’s approval, the church of Christ. This Kingdom and its subjects will live on forever!
Religious exclusion of people is no better than political exclusion, as “the west” is attempting with Russians.
Your statement shows a superiority complex and excludes Hindus, Buddhists, Muslims, and all other religions and beliefs, and us atheists too.
Removed. Mod.
I’m curious as to why you feel “excluded” from something that you profess not to believe in.
It is not religion, that you excluded him from, but the world! Onward, christian soldiers!
The God he mentioned, is it not the same God worshipped by sects of people through their own norms? God created religion and he has decided how he would be worshipped by whom and how. So, the God he mentioned is inclusive of all religions.
Hindus will not be excluded. It is written. Mohamed however described the end hours for his own people.
Written by which of the 1001 God’s. Or should I say no by whom.
Let me calm you.
God saves who he wants, as we all are of his creation and we all sin and we all are sinners also the Church of Christ, and therefore no earthly person has a single dust corn of influence on his selection.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” Amen
There is no “god”. That’s just a delusional belief with zero evidence to back it and total evidence against it.
There just needs to be less money in the pulpit, and more money in the pews.
In short, it isn’t just the west. Psychopathy rsspects no national boundries, ethnicity, of religion. Pfizer really needs to develop a vaccine for it.
Grow up…keep your superstition out of it. It destroys any validity to argument
Thank you. Religion is useful culturally, but as a tool to analyze the zeitgeist?
Like using a fantasy novel as a basis for analysis.
It is NeoCon racism and not the actual people of the EU or US that hate Russia as such. Yes, some uneducated and or ill-informed ,usually rural people may, but it is the EU /Nato / US political class in general , and Neocons in particular who really hate Russia. It is they who have been ideologically conditioned and have the envy of Russia’s resources for themselves.
The average guy in Iowa or Bavaria couldn’t care less about where his gas ,food or clothes comes from. He wants to live in peace , and have his children grow old before his eyes.
Now the political class, well they are in a different boat. Now that they have run out of all the money they made by offshoring to China, they realise that the EU and US is now hollowed – out. Where will they get more money to keep them in power? That is why we are seeing this new love for more war since the First Gulf War.
Time is running out , and the elite of both EU and the US know it , and they are scared of being hung by their ankles once most of the citizens wake up or go hungry ,cold and dressed in rags .
please please please… this is old, so old it is indeed “passe’ “.
It’s not the people ?
Of course it is !
It is the people of each and every EU country and the people of the US that have allowed things to get where they got.
And it is the people and the people only who could make a difference. Yet they don’t. Nobody wakes the f up.
People could merely open their eyes, for a split second, to observe how we live in an illusion – but they are all scared hence the refusal to open their eyes. An illusion fueled by fake money and supported by US oligarchs that control everything including the government and they are just crazy.
Sadly I tend to agree with the analysis in the article. We are so close to a nuclear war, it is non-sense. Some say that in the US there is sufficient brain left in the military ranks that it can be avoided. I doubt it.
If people in the Uk got as worked up about their government fighting a proxy war against Russia as they did about Boris Johnson holding an illegal party in Downing Street… well, I think you get my drift.
Correct. ‘The people’ never fight for their rights, or the rights of others as they recently fought for toilet paper.
An apathetic mob of grey people that care for nothing past beer and sports,
Its the system that got us here, the people would have been fine had they not been traumatized by the system.
Don’t Forget the US Intelligence agencies (the muscle of the Deep State/Private central banks) have spent the last seventy years perfecting their propaganda skills on the American People. The old British approach to divide and conquer has been used to split the US into literally thousands of subgroups, who believe their story of woes is sadder than the next guy and deserving of greater sympathy and largess. The destruction of Christianity has led to the destruction of the family, destruction of relations between men and women, between parents and children, between citizens and community. It has been a long and slow train wreck, which has only accelerated in the last few years.
Fortunately, there appears to be signs of saturation. A push back is slowly growing in number and force. Not because of a sudden awakening, but rather a majority of people has lost confidence and trust in the state. Decades of lies have finally taken their toll. The Deep State will never let go without a fight, without more false flags, without more deception. However, their tools no longer have their magic and the reality that they are few and the people are many is growing by the day.
The Deep State is finally about to face its greatest foe, i.e. the American People.
The safety of the world is in the balance.
Truly, you are right. American citizens own guns, guns, and more guns. Heck, even my own family owns four if you count a bb gun. Other countries not so much. I would think that Americans will eventually resist and fight back when the hand of oppression and corruption threatens their family and security to the nth degree.
Right on brother {I’m Iowa born’} also running out of cheap to harvest resources makes the elites think hoarding and lusting after all remaining large deposits exactly like you would imagine Russa has God bless Russia
Resouce Depletion Wars
You are correct: The neocons are the ones who hate Russia. The prospect of causing another war and millions more unknown innocents dead or with lives destroyed always leaves them panting with excitement, and they have hated Russia, ever since Stalin either liquidated or sent into exile their Trotskyite granddaddies back in the ’30’s.
For the neocons to want vengeance on people they do not even know for something that occurred generations before by people long since dead betrays a mentally ill bunch in need of medication or therapy and to be kept as far away from the levers of power as possible.
Believe me as a doctor……medication can’t possibly help these people.
“Yes, some uneducated and or ill-informed ,usually rural people may”
No, it’s actually more the brainwashed at the universities who are the haters. The Liberals have control of the education system and it is they who brainwash the students to hate.
Exactly!!!
No you are wrong, just listen to all the climate and anti war people marching in the streets against the largest polluter in the world and by far the largest killer in the world! They are nowhere to be seen with the few exceptions. Who in the us or Europe is doing anything at all to stop the carnage in Ukraine curtesy of the Nato and friends. Who protested when the vile witch went to Taiwan? Who continues to vote for this complete trash that is our government? By the way the garbage is on both sides of the fence in every country. Look at the USof war from NK to Ukraine all the US does is war coup and color revolutions in order to rape and pillage around the world for oil and the MIC and banks, now days add big Pharma, big agg. It is Bipartisan In every country
The unity found in hunger will put a lens up to the elites responsible and the hungry will at once comprehend the criminality behind their suffering and the elite’s action. I don’t think it will end well for the elites.
The collective west may be like the US that someone had said he could pay half the US to kill the other half. The elites have their lackeys. Everyone knows who they are. Hope you have a nice weekend Brother Ma.
I think “decline” is an accurate description of the situation in the West but it is not “collapsing” as societies. First, we need to understand that the capitol of the Western Empire is Washington and it has become almost completely divorced from the population in fact. What sustains the government is a sophisticated regime of mind-control that is fraying around the edges as people become, gradually, immune from the techniques used.
The organs of government including the National Security State, the mainstream media, the universities, and the intellectual journals are all inline waiting for the correct “line” to be announced and carried out much as communists in the old days waited for the Comintern in Moscow to announce the latest statement of policy. Note that the efforts made by this apparatus is what some of us call the “Deep State” are becoming increasingly transparent as their reach expands. The West may be in decline but the Deep State is still growing and growing new nodes everyday. Twenty years ago it did not have complete control of all organs of government in the USA let alone Europe–today it has control over most of the organs of government in all of Europe (except Russia if you consider it part of Europe). This Empire of the Washington Deep State has created a passive population suffering, increasingly from anomie, and a host of social ills well known to any casual observer of the West.
Will the Washington Deep State be able to completely control, at all times, the population of the West as it moves to increasingly draconian methods of control even as its populations face a lowered standard of living and increased psychic harm? Mostly, in the USA at least, I think it’s touch and go and I’m mildly optimistic that the working class at least will reject the coming tyranny–I think Europe is unlikely to do anything but continuing to follow orders.
I agree Cos on all but the date “20 years ago” I think more like the west was ‘captured’ by powerful rich elites at the start of 20th century and solidified their control in 1913 with creation for Federal Reserve afterwhich the wars for control of vital resources began and continue today cheers
People of the USSR didn’t know that their country had collapsed until 25 December 1991.
You’re being too optimistic about the combined West’s prospects
People of he US still don’t know that their country collapsed in 1980.
You have to have a culture for cultural collapse. In the US there is only television.
Combined tactical operations wise, Obama and Biden missed out on killing Bin Laden & Zawahiri by 5 years and 8 months. Only in America!
Regarding the Presstitutes, they’re not delusional , their future employment, paychecks, depend solely on them being able to copy. mouth verbatim, the diahorrea emanating/sourced from various western government departments/agencies.
Bin Laden denied involvement in 9/11, and it was reported that he died of kidney failure in 2005.
Seal Team 6 was a propaganda ploy.
Sorry to correct you but I think he died in December 2001:
https://newspunch.com/evidence-shows-osama-bin-laden-actually-died-in-2001/
Evidence has emerged that Osama bin Laden actually died in December 2001 in Tora Bora from a lung complication as a result of kidney failure, and not in 2011 as claimed by the U.S. government.
If you want a good laugh about the Oscar winning performance from Obama, Clinton and Blinken in the background (sorry but i don’t know who the other knob-heads are), then you have to read this article by Larry Romanoff:
https://www.moonofshanghai.com/2021/01/the-death-of-osama-bin-laden-january-10.html
77 marines in a fierce firefight for 40 minutes against a man, a few women and children, all unarmed? 6 helicopters among 7 military bases, nobody saw them?
Let’s see. We have six US military helicopters carrying 77 marines flying 600 kilometers into a country to a small town which contains 7 military bases and is less than 35 minutes from the nation’s capital. The helicopters land at a housing compound situated only a few hundred meters from the main military base, but the local military doesn’t know anything happened because the US has new secret “stealth helicopters” that would prevent the millions of local inhabitants from either seeing or hearing the aircraft anywhere during their 3-hour flight. And besides, they flew “low, between the hills, to avoid the radar”. I know they can do that, because I saw that once on TV.
Then we have the 77 marines jumping from their helicopters and launching “a ferocious assault” on a small unfortified house in the center of the compound, the home of Osama bin Laden, the occupants consisting of bin Laden, his three wives, a few children, and maybe (not confirmed) one other man, none of whom were armed. According to the White House, the marines were then engaged in an “intense 40-minute firefight” in their attempt to reach and kill bin Laden. The brave US Marines eventually succeed, then casually take another 30 minutes to clean up their mess a bit and to collect “a treasure trove” of computers and data, on the way out apologising to the women and children for killing their husband and father. They grab bin Laden’s dead body by the ankles, drag and bump him down three flights of stairs and toss him into a helicopter. Then they blow up one of their (apparently damaged) aircraft, climb aboard the others and retrace their several-hundred kilometer flight out of the country.
Seven hours of fighting and nobody heard it?
After a total foreign military excursion lasting more than seven hours and taking place right in the middle of seven military bases, the local military still didn’t know anything happened. Nobody heard all those aircraft coming and going, nobody heard the tens of thousands of shots extending over 40 minutes, and nobody heard the massive explosion that destroyed the helicopter. That’s real “stealth”, by anybody’s definition. Nobody realised that six aircraft and almost a hundred soldiers had carried out an intense, hour-long armed assault next door to the city’s largest military base. Nobody saw anything, nobody heard anything, nobody knew anything, until long after the Americans were safely out of Pakistan. As the BBC would say, “That’s just amazing” (*). And while the brave marines were carrying out this heroic and dangerously challenging 77:1 murder assault, the White House staff were watching intently the “live satellite feed” of the entire operation. Obama was very anxious, Hillary Clinton was biting her nails and gasping for breath, and Dick Cheney wet his pants.
Excellent! I hope Larry will write a similar article about the strange case of the US versus Aafia Siddiqi.
For anyone that’s interested, this makes prophetic reading:

Russia wrongly believes it can take it’s time pretending it’s not at war. The U.S. will continue to escalate viewing Russia’s refusal to do so as weakness. Ignoring the nato sinking of the Muskva and attacks on Crimea has encouraged the shelling of nuclear facilities. Hopefully when southern Ukraine is unlivable due to radiation from damaged nuclear plants Russia will ignore that in the hope that the cool kids of nato will one day let Russia sit at their lunch table
You’re correct on some, way off on another.
The US out of desperation, having LOST the WAR will continue with their belligerence in identifying individual targets that may cause shock and awe headlines.
You’re correct in that Russia should respond with lethal force, send a message, by levelling all western Ukraine command centres, in particular NATO command centres, like the US embassy in Lvov.
Russia is not at war with the sheep but wicked evil powers in high places who have not been able to break VVPutin and company {God loves Russia and Ukraine to} But evildoers beware and warned ‘God don’t Play’…………….. you have been warned!!
Are you 77th Brigade because you sure as hell sound like one?
“Russia will ignore that in the hope that the cool kids of nato will one day let Russia sit at their lunch table”
LOL
Yes, Nancy Pelosi visiting a country is much more provocative and dangerous than carrying out a “special military operation” that focuses on using military powers instead of diplomatic means. Just like Michael Hudson said in the Saker interview, wow this is crazy what is the US going to do next, so unpredictable, whilst no one seemed to predict that Russia would actually invade. Talking about double standards – Its fine for us to go in with tanks, but sending in a diplomat to show support is literally insane and unbelievable. This isn’t just limited to the west and the US, you’d be very naive to say your country doesn’t use any “dubious” means.
Ah yes, another sad troll.
It’s funny to see all these trolls speak as if the war started on 24 February and completely ignore the 8 years of killings in Donbas.
Nancy Pelosi is no diplomat. More like a subconscious reminder that generic tuna is about as good as anything. Like the blind man at the fish market said, “Hello, ladies”.
Regarding “If their “world order” isn’t going to prevail, will they allow humanity to even exist?
If it up the the neocons, the answer is a clear no. As was so clearly stated in Outlaw Josie Wales,
Doing right aint got no end.
Our only chance is to cut out the neocons.
Francis Bacon wrote “Truth is the daughter of time.” As fighting in Ukraine drags on, the neocons are becoming more desperate, because they know that with the passage of time the likelihood of the truth coming out and that ever more people, now unaware of their sociopathic wishes to dominate humanity, will realize that they, the neocons, are the real enemy.
Another great article by a guest writer with many great observations.
As an American, I was unaware of global events and the despotism of the US, until covid shut everyone down. Reading and finding the truth the last two years has really exposed the atrocities, corruptness, and agenda of Washington. The only reason I know the truth is because of alternative media. Media is captured by six corporations, who are under the influence of govt control. Journalists don’t do investigative reporting which keeps a government honest. Think on that. The sources are from the various govt agencies, other random entities, and no longer do they quote the name of the source. My neighbors listen to my arguments and agree but are too complacent in their lifestyle to care. Control the media control the narrative is huge.
Thank you for saying Washington is driving the current course. It has ever since WWII. Truman was a weak President who instituted the cold war phenomena with Russia. I believe he created DARPA, so that we would stay ahead of Russia in technology. Guess that failed given Russian military tech today. Back then the US found out how prosperous war really was. Prescott Bush, Rothschild, others, profited off that war, subsidized birth sides. They don’t care who or how many are killed because win or lose the current conflict; they profit. Everyone: govt officials, bankers, Wall Street investors, media, all profit. The deliberate decision back after WWII to instigate the Cold War with Russia has lead to all these problems in my opinion. “War is a Racket” is only 35 pages long but after reading it, I understand the continued war mongering of the US.
While I think these elites who really run govt policy all over the world, are pieces of …., I hope they wish to live, because nuclear war would affect climate, infrastructure, agricultural production, etc., that they are not impervious too. Heck they are now after longevity with their so called biotechnology advancements. Nothing good will come of it. Covid and gain of function have proven that.
yep the lockdowns did have some much needed results a rest break for people to rest from rat race pace and spend time with family to see whats really important in life to take stock of ones goals at least for some anyway lots of bad effects to
as you now see things arn’t always what they claim/appear to be , eyes being opened means shock therapy, take time to digest and above all balance the bad with Joy <<<<Vital!!!
I’m a born an raised Iowa construction worker having worked all over Usa , I’m very happy to see Russia recover from the communist scourge and oppression of Christianty.
most western peoples remain ignorant of the truth of world events and have no time or interest in learning, easier to just accept ‘America leader of the free world’ and all the other illusions , then to seek facts on far away issues. I remain convinced God is in control with the timeclock in His hands only and determines the future
most people just stupid lazy content an distracted ie. {sheep}
God bless Russia …..Jesus came to save the World!! {even the sheep}
They would almost surely escalate. This has already been confirmed by at least one person who had a finger on the imperial nuclear button:
“Alan Hart interviewed Golda Meir for the BBC’s Panorama programme in April 1971 and asked her “Prime Minister … You are saying that if ever Israel was in danger of being defeated on the battlefield, it would be prepared to take the region and even the whole world down with it?”. . . “without the shortest of pauses for reflection . . . Golda replied ‘Yes, that’s exactly what I am saying'”.”
Alas, the misanthropic, megalomaniacal, barbaric hubris reflected in this so-called “Sampson Option” seems ubiquitous among imperial elites.
Imperial strategic planners must understand that RussoChina cannot be defeated in a conventional war. I see no cause for optimism regarding their ability to act in the interests of humanity (and, indeed, the biosphere), if faced with ultimate defeat. The fact that they continue to escalate at every turn suggests to me that they are fully prepared and ready to use unconventional weapons when indicated.
The current US “stunt” is to provide Ukraine with weapons and targeting information on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, in order to create a catastrophic release of radioactivity that it can blame on Russia. Considering the number of nuclear reactors and the amount of spent nuclear fuel at Zaporozhye, there is potential for an enormous disaster if the shelling and attacks continue.
Are the homicidal maniacs responsible for this doing so because they wish to leave a radioactively scorched earth behind as Russia wins the war? Do they not understand that they place all of Europe and Eurasia at risk, too? This is an act of malicious madness.
Surely this also shows us that nuclear power plants will become targets in wartime. Considering that these plants hold some of the greatest concentrations of radioactivity on the planet, this should call into question the wisdom of relying upon them for power.
The key statement in the article that sums up the global challenge is, “the same hatred can be seen towards any country that has chosen independence over subservience to the West.” It will be more accurate if the “West” in that assertion is replaced by the Private Financial Empire. Any leadership in the west that has challenged this Private Financial Empire, has been assassinated or subjected to war, revolution or civil war (JFK, Germany,…). It dreams of a global empire controlling the world through privatization of money, assets, resources,… and financialization of the economy.
Name a nation in the west that creates majority of its money, sovereign money. Majority (95+%) of money in the west is PRIVATE MONEY created by financial entities of this Financial Empire. The base money has been rehypothecated to build a fake pyramid of fictitious capital. What is the size of the dollar and Euro$ (Eurodollar) systems? Which one is bigger? It is the latter that binds the west together. Nations in the west are suzerainties under the domination of their Financial Network. When it falls apart, the Empire will fall and fail in its dream. Nations will then become sovereign.
Russia made a big mistake in not understanding the power of the Euro$ system, investing its earned income in this system, and thinking it can split Europe from the U$A/UK/Five Eyes. Russia and China can’t negotiate peace with the Private Financial Empire and need to challenge the Empire along with other nations. If the empire succeeds in subjugating China and Russia, then humanity will be enslaved for centuries to come. Just look at the configuration of the world after the WWII and Cold War. If Germany wouldn’t have signed up to the Plaza Accord then it wouldn’t have been united. Is their good leadership in the west?
Any nation trading in the private currencies ($€£…) of the Private Financial Empire is under its control. Why do China, Russia,… transact and invest in this Empire’s currencies? There is no rule of law, diplomacy, global order,… Do China and Russia understand the global game and their encirclement? What are their CREATIVE Moves? We’re in the final phase of the final game. What is the populace in the west doing? Happy to be debt enslaved and lost in consumption?
” If their “world order” isn’t going to prevail, will they allow humanity to even exist? ”
No they won’! This is like handicapping a horse race, first class, grade1. You come to know and judge horses by what they have done in the past. By that you can tell what their genetic code is, how they are programmed to behave by their biology by their repeated centuries-long behaviour.
It’s there right before our eyes already. Logic suggests right now what their own self-preserving behavior should be but they live openly opposite to self preservation, courting collective suicide. The Covid virus biological alone tells us what to come as America loses…a clear and open total attack on China which were it successful would warrant nothing short of chinese reciprocity and the end of humanity
I can’t see how humanity walks away from this stage we have achieved, arrived by our own choices in a sustainable form unless ordinary Americans rise and put a revolutionary end to their capitalism/elitee
“Russian ex-President Dmitry Medvedev has issued a veiled threat to Ukraine’s Western allies who have accused Russia of creating the risk of a nuclear catastrophe by stationing forces around the Ukrainian Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant.
Ukraine has accused Russia of firing at Ukrainian towns from the site in the knowledge that Ukrainian forces could not risk returning fire. It says Russia has shelled the area itself while blaming Ukraine. Russia says it is Ukraine that has attacked the plant.
“They [Kyiv and its allies] say it’s Russia. That’s obviously 100 percent nonsense, even for the stupid Russophobic public,” Medvedev, now the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, wrote on his instant messenger Telegram channel on Friday.
“They say it happens purely by chance, like ‘We didn’t mean to’,” he added. “What can I say? Let’s not forget that the European Union also has nuclear power plants. And accidents can happen there, too.”
https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2022/8/12/nuclear-accidents-can-happen-in-europe-too-russian-ex-president
I think it’s about time for all of us to become concerned. As I stated earlier under a different post on this site, it looks as if the US has decided to end the war in a nuclear fashion. If they succeed, they will blame Russia for everything.
I would argue that ignorance is just as much a factor on the average citizen level in the West,most especially in the US. But probably similar in much of the rest of the West,certainly in the “settler” ex-colonial Western states.Those of their leaders not blackmailed by the US to follow them,may be all in with hatred and greed.But the media,Hollywood,and educational system in the West has dumbed down the population throughout the West in the last 30 years.That they can easily be manipulated by the Western leaderships. A perfect example of that ignorance can be found right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZoXiqprTQg
Russia and China should be considered differently here. But also they should be considered differently from each other in this regard. From what I can see from abroad the Russian and Chinese would be more likely similar to the Western populations before the 30 years of dumbing down happened in the West.Their educational systems seems to be less affected by the rot we see in the Western one. And their media seems to be “more free” (shocking I know,lol) in reporting facts,and actually giving opinions from both sides.
Where the Russians and Chinese leadership’s differ from each other is in their thinking about the World. The Russians,and here I’m talking about just Putin. I can’t really say about the rest of their leadership. Has the opinion that if they negotiate in good faith with their enemies. And stick with international norms 100% that will make a difference,and work better for them. The Chinese by contrast have few illusions about their enemies. And while they will negotiate with them too. They know not to trust them at all. And would never think that you wouldn’t do anything and everything you have too, to succeed. I think sometimes they shake their heads at some of the Russian actions. Like Dimitry Orlov said back in 2014 in an article. The Chinese didn’t understand why the Russians didn’t just crush the maidan and support Yanukovich back then. He said that is how they would have responded,and couldn’t imagine trusting the West to keep to any signed agreement that was made. Putin see’s the World as he’d like it to be,and works towards trying to make it so (vainly I’d argue). While the Chinese see the World the way it is,and try to deal with it the way it is. Personally I think the Chinese policy is the most realistic. But time will tell which one is correct.
But in the meantime the Western stupidity marches along. Finland (the betrayer state) and Estonia (the dead-man walking midget state), are busy trying to hasten their demise. They are talking about using their missiles to sink the Russian Baltic Fleet and keeping them bottled up in the Gulf of Finland. Making the Baltic Sea a NATO lake. But what they are really doing is making the Russians see that as I’ve said before they can not for national security reasons allow enemy states to border the RF. I have considered that plan the Finns and Estonians are thinking about before. Just a quick glance at the map shows how vulnerable the Russians are there. The Russians are going to be forced after the SMO to deal permanently with that threat. At the very least they with need to change regimes in Finland and return them by force to neutrality. As to Estonia whether that alone will be good enough I doubt it. I think they will need to install a pro-Russian government in power and demilitarize it entirely. The same will need to be done with Latvia and Lithuania. They have had 30 years to learn to be good neighbors and all they’ve done with those wasted years is promote Russophobia. So now they need to be put back on the short lease again.They can not be allowed to be a threat to Russia ever again: https://www.rt.com/russia/560725-estonia-finland-baltic-nato/
End of the World no, but a nuclear exchange yes as they can not lose face, they are to invested(weapons, money, propaganda 24/7), it is a question of survival for them and they know or believe they can win.They will start with boots on the ground in Western Ukraine.Then or Russia blinks again like in Syria where we have a triple occupation(Russian one is legal but who cares in 2022 about legality in the West?), and two illegal(US and Turkey not to forget the aircraft carrier just near, called Israel).Wich is a no win no lose situ, even if Assad is still there.Ukraine is payback for Syria.Just change ‘jihadists’ by ‘nazis’, no difference same terror methods. They only calmed down to some point in Syria after Russians destroyed a bunker in Allepo with many Nato + Israeli personnal killed(see th Meyssan detailled report).This stopped for now their Greater Israel project.
West only respects countries which show their strengh, Russia never does it by fear.They are not scared anymore, for them the SMO is a fiasco(in their mind as they wrongly believed that RU would take Kiev in three days).Since then they are convinced 100% they can win.
Escalation is the only neocon kind of ‘negociation’, whatever the costs they can not capitulate. Doubling, tripling, quadrupling down, even is suicidal no problem, armagedon will lead to the arrival of their ‘Messiah’, the one like Nuland, Blinken, Bolton, Pompeo, Graham, Zio Hillary, don’t care to kill millions they believe they will have time to escape in some bunker and then wait.I espect a first strike on Russia since day one, even more since the Kiev story(feint or fiasco).As Russia does not even retaliate on attacks in Crimea it is a sign they will escalade to desperation otherwise they are finished.
Biden has zero power like ZE, they just follow the orders from London Tel Aviv real Deep State.
Did not hesitate to use nuclear weapons against Japan! Japan was defenseless at that stage! Russia is not!!
This time the US will get a taste of their own medicine !
Exactly, Japan didn’t have silent subs armed with Poseidens cruising the depths in reach of the USA and European capitals. Neither did they have Gen 5 bombers armed with Khinzals.
Russophobia. An interesting notion, developed in the last 20 years or so. Russia never conquered territories. Just russified this space. The only christian power that got along with Islam in a soft manner. Look at the “Stan’s”. Other country, was Moldova. This region was an integral part of the Romanian principality of Moldavia until 1812, when it was ceded to Russia by its suzerain, the sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Actually their bilingual nowadays, using romanian mixtured with russian. Russification means belonging to great family with different branches. Just a thought.
Well said, i hope all the slavic people unite, not just the faith but the common ideas and we are all humans, hope we come together for common good.
I am Muslim and my wife is Russian and Christian, it is great, we get along fine, we do get refused at U.S borders, helps me save some money on shopping there, thank God for Russia.
I am in the same situation. Catholic with an orthodox wife. No problems beyond the usual daily stress living in Europe. Hope something will change in Europe with all this SMO.
Of the people I know those who really hate Russia and the Russian people are on the hardcore left. At first I thought that strange, since seldom a moment pssses without them reminding you how loving, compassionate and decent they are. Whereas I, who consider himself a conservative, have come to deeply respect Russia and the Russian people and think the bad guys are now the US, the rest of the Anglosphere and the EU. (And I am a patriotic American.)
Yes war can be avoided…if the ordinary American population rise up and impose its collective interest on their social reality which is contrary and opposed to what’s being done by the American elites elites.
They may not be aware of it to the extent they should but they have no choice but to rise for their future is a Brave New World dystopia anyway and the only way to avoid such a fate for themselves is to rise take over and create a reality in their favor.
Such a reality could not possibly be the continuation of the current American global hegemony but one that places American function in their interest and survival which requires cooperation with the planet..their full, honest and positive participation in progressive multi-polarity.
American social revolution may seem far fetched at this point but is it really?
All is in place for it. It is even anticipated in many quarters, encouraged and supported, worked for…
1/3 is obese, 1/3 is too old and the rest are woke-antifa-lgbtq-blm-cancell culture or and have a lot of money and confort they don’t want to lose.
There will never be a civil war in the US, people are too individualists(worse in the UK), even the deplorables ready to fight would have no real ennemy to fight…everything is ‘meta’ virtual.Big distances are also a problem to start a civil war.
Let’s see what will happen. Average electricity prices in July 2022:
France: 400,87 €/MWh
Belgium: 321, 33 €/MWh
Germany-Luxemburg: 315 €/MWh
Nethetlands: 306,60 €/MWh
Latvia: 305 €/MWh
Poland: 220,25 €/MWh
These numbers giving by Noef Pool
https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/en/Market-data1/Dayahead/Area-Prices/be/monthly/?view=table
These figures of course without VAT and other taxes and provinsions. For households things are even much worse.
In France nothing at all will happen as tariffs are blocked till necessary(23/24?)at 45.
They don’t care about real or fake prices, QE infinity.
Of course it will increase their debts to (fake)gdp and increase inflation even more but again they don’t care, with the exception maybe of the UK where fanatic thatcherites are in power.
Russia has warned the US about the points of no return, after which a rupture of diplomatic relations is possible, Alexander Darchiev, director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s North American Department, told TASS in an interview:

“it is Russia and the Russians that the “international community” hates with a passion”
The U.S. usually does this in a conflict; in WWI, America was fighting the “Huns”. In WWII, Japanese-Americans were imprisoned. In Vietnam, we were fighting the “Gooks”. I guess recently, with Iraq and Syria, the conflicts were too one-sided for this to work. Instead, Iraq’s population was never mentioned, disappeared really. Instead, only Saddam Hussein was mentioned and demonized, as if he was the only person living in Iraq. For Syria, U.S. pundits speak on behalf of the Syrian people. In some ways, this is also true for Ukraine; the views of the U.S.-affiliated government in Kiev, probably coordinating with Washington, are represented here as those of the entire country. However, Ukraine is a divided country. Some Ukrainians agree with Kiev and some do not.
“Ukraine” has been bombing and shelling “Ukrainians” for many years.
I don’t want to fear monger but I am here perplexed taken back by this war on Ukraine. I mean, everyday I am seeing Ukrainian battalions being wiped out to the point I’m thinking do we die, and come back alive? Like a video game with infinite lives. These Ukrainian soldiers or rather vessels of Satan have family aren’t all these deaths adding up and having families of the dead armed with pitch folks on the doors of these ‘military strategists’’? All I know is all this death and destruction that’s streaming all over the media is turning out to be something I fear..I fear, when the west has gone all cross eyed and crazy they will launch nukes and will say “AHA it’s Russia’s turn, let’s see how they deal with hundreds of thousands of Russian civilians being wiped out..the brainless masses in the west will create memes by the millions to try justify this ruthless godless attack on Russia I feel coming. Rest Assure, the West will parade Russia as bloody and hurt like the figure Jesus..and try humiliate it..but after the first nuke is launched I believe Russia in the end will win. It is no wonder Russia has the biggest land mass on the world. The plotters can plot, but indeed too God plots.
“As the West is declining and possibly collapsing, one has to wonder if their hatred for the rest of the world is greater than their sense of self-preservation. If their “world order” isn’t going to prevail, will they allow humanity to even exist?”
I think the answer to that can be found by studing the behaviour of the typical American mass-shooter.
In most cases during last winter electricity prices were paid by householders with former cheap prices and there was lots of “Slava Ukraine” bullshit but since May the grim new reality has been reckoned by people. At least in Finland house owners whose old contract is ending are now in panic. Just think about getting used for years to pay around 4-5 cents/KWh and now new 2 years contracts are cheapest in level of 26 cents and week after week most new ones around 30-33 cents/KWh. Last week new future contract prices paid by companies were revieled:
Oct-Dec 2022: 480 €/MWh
Jan-March 2023: 460 €/MWh
With VAT (24%) + provisions (mostly around 1 c/KWh) house owners have to pay
2) either 32-37 cents/KWh (+ to grid owners ~ 2 up to 9 cents/KWh + 2,7 cents/KWh electricity tax)
2) or take a risk of spot-market prices: 100% surely much higher price in Oct22-March23 but perhaps (?) cheaper later.
If future contract prices paid by companies ( average 470 €/MWh) come true the average market price will hit 60 cents/KWh for consumers during winter half year. 10 times higher than on average during winter period. And if new nuclear reactor (Olkiluoto 3, capacity 1600 MW) will have issues after Nov 22 the chaos will be gigantic.
I can count the process speed of realizing facts. It’s 4% of more population every month. Now 30%, in Dec around almost half. It’s easy to see how electricity companies are going to put people pay their heavy losses of Dec 21 – July 22, many many years. And this corrupted EU system will keep people under heavy pressure and pain at least next 4 years. Let’s not forget that even in smaller countries like Finland the rise of energy prices will pull much more than 10 billion euros from pockets of consumers and business to energy producers, mostly abroad. The economy is in brink of catastrophy and there are not many winners at all.
Voi-voi! All Finland had to do was remain neutral, not kow-tow to USUK-NATO, and honour her long-term energy contracts with Russia. You don’t have to like Russia, just be quiet neighbours. But no, Finland is punching herself in the face.
“Ever since the conflict in Ukraine began, the collective West and its vassals, also known as the “international community” have been engaged in a hybrid war against Russia, stopping just short of direct confrontation.”
This statement just isn’t true. The period beginning on January 30,1933 when Adolf Hitler took control of Germany, until September 1, 1939, World War 2 was already underway, in a warm-up phase, to a kinetic, direct confrontation. Just like today.
World War 3 has already started.
Sanctions are an act of war. The confiscation of private property is an act of war. The confiscation of bank accounts is an act of war. Harassment of a country’s citizens is an act of war. A proxy war is an act of war. The blockade of Kaliningrad was an act of war. Since 1945, the west, NATO, Europe, the EU, the British Empire (that has yet to die), but mainly the United States, has picked up where Germany left off in 1945, treating Russia and the Russian people as sub-humans.
Contrary to the author of this article, greed is not the prime motivator. All wars are resource wars. Russia has in “shameful abundance” what the west is just about out of — natural gas, oil, coal, minerals, and rare earth. Without cheap energy the west ceases to exist. This is an existential threat.
“[The US government is] looking for Russia’s destruction through the expansion of NATO right up to Russia’s borders . . .” and beyond Russia’s borders. Expect the west, NATO, the EU, Europe, the British Empire (that refuses to die), but mainly just the United States to invade Russia. That’s the World War 3 we are looking at.
“It can certainly be said that the risk for nuclear war is far greater today than it was less a year ago.”
As a child I never once thought that Russia and the United States would start a nuclear war. Not once. Even during the Cuban Missile Crisis. When my father hid the family station wagon in the garage, fully packed, with enough full petrol cans for us to reach the rurals of Upstate New York if a nuclear exchange took place, with the first bombs falling on our home city of Philadelphia. I just didn’t believe it would happen.
Back in the 1950s and 1960s it was the consequences, not the risks, that determined our reality. It wasn’t until recently, when these fool idiots started talking about how a nuclear war was both winnable and survivable that I started to pay attention.
The only difference between today and 1953 was that back then reasonable minds still prevailed. Today, insanity rules. Real insanity runs loose upon the world. The crazies are in charge.
The author of this article, Aram Mirzaei, is being too polite.
This was why you didn’t use a nuclear weapon on a battlefield. In 1953, “Atomic Annie” was just a 10-kiloton airburst, detonated 500-feet above ground. Five of these artillery pieces were made and sent to Europe. That was at least 50-years ago. They have all probably been scrapped by now. I guess.
The average nuclear warhead today measures in mega-ton range; not in kilotons.

The U.S. “government” is controlled by a cult of devil-worshiping, demon possessed theistic Satanists. They don’t actually give the slightest damn about “resources” per se. They do what they do because they’re evil, not because they lust after Russian resources. What they care about is proselytizing the world for their “god” Satan. Any country that cannot be deceived, corrupted and manipulated into self-destruction (e.g. European countries) must be destroyed by other means.
Apocalyptic novel of hope and terror titled “Tycho Brahe Secret” took the western absurdities, proclivity to pillage, fraud and manipulation to the next level. It features a Chapter titled “The Aletheia Coup of 2041” in which a wicked purveyor of fantasy, a true villain whose morbid humor makes you chuckle as you shudder (“aletheia” means “truth”) uses crypto & Wall Street to take the West to its knees.
Greed on the Nth. A shameless plug: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1733815155/
While this is not the book’s main focus, I see no other end for so-called West but on the winds of the dollar’s destruction.
Americans are brainwashed and by and large extremely ignorant. Nothing will wake them up to reality unless bombs start falling on the indispensable nation.
“If their “world order” isn’t going to prevail, will they allow humanity to even exist?”
This is a question properly addressed to Jewish gentlemen of a Zionist persuasion.
It is not the man or the woman of The West, it is the elite and, please, have a look at the big picture.
Who controls the media? Do I have to spell it out? I cannot as even here, even you guys, who are right now attacked by these people, even you demand that the name of the attacker cannot be mentioned. But you sure know who I mean.
And look at The West: Its blood has been sucked, it is poor, it is in debt, people are not allowed to speak their mind. It is a new Soviet Union. Well, you guys should know this system. You have lived in it, and you cannot recognize it? C’mon…
And look, look carefully, who has become rich? Look at the names, please. Is there something special, some names that sound familiar? Well, do I have to spell it out as well? No, again, I am not allowed, but we all know who they are..
And you guys find some funny names for these people. Oh my, yes, they are “Nazis”, are they not? Holocaustic nazis, yea, sure.
The thing is, they are at war not with Russia, they are at war with all white people. That is why they will never make peace, they find always money for us to kill each other. Think, how nice for them, we start killing, hating each other, spending all that we own on killing and hating, and they collect,oh boy, they just collect and collect and collect. While we drown on our own blood.
I say, let us all turn our energy in getting rid of these people that live and flourish on our suffering. I rest my case, I see no enemies other than this that I am not allowed to name.
Voltaire: “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.”
“It is not the man or the woman of The West, it is the elite and, please, have a look at the big picture.”
I would have to disagree. All the “elite” do, in essence, is make speeches and shuffle papers; the only real “power” they have depends 100% on what they can get other people to do for them. If nobody was willing to work on the assembly lines at places like General Atomics and Lockheed-Martin making bombs, missiles, drones, etc., they wouldn’t be able to mass murder people all over the world.
If nobody was willing to join the U.S. military (or failing that, if those who join would live up to their enlistment oath), the U.S. military would not now be doing things like illegally occupying Syria and threatening to start a war with Russia and China.
The problem in the U.S. is that there are simply too many corrupt/morally incompetent people who are willing to join the U.S. military, FBI, ATF, NSA, IRS, DEA, etc. And the same goes for local and state government: there are too many people willing to work for the tax claim bureau or at the county sheriff’s office, for example, and make the elderly widow next door homeless when she can’t pay her confiscatory property taxes.
The U.S. “government” is corrupt because a majority of the people are corrupt. Before the Satanic elite can subvert the government, they first have to corrupt the people on whom their power depends.
There is only one western country with ability to destroy the planet and this country is currently in the midst of hidden civil war. What Russia could and should do is to quietly make sure USA disintegrates in controlled manner and its nuclear stockpile will not end up at some psychopath’s whim. Without applying Ukraine invasion scenario, which did not work that well since fighting factions unified against external enemy.
When the Europeans freeze this winter, America will finally wake up and see Russia is an equal partner and a friend of America.
Russia has always been betting on the Siberian winter and up to now it worked all the times in the past, so why shouldnt it work this winter?
Because America found the ultimate weapon against it, nuclear winter beats Siberian winter…………LOL
Yeah, well written.
The decline of the West is in full view due to excessive debt creation and corruption. So these objects who are the so called leaders of Western countries have now banded together under Swab to force their “Great Reset” along with declaring war on us peasants under the guise of a virus and the poisonous jab as they implement their global warming and green energy policies before the final collapse takes place.
Russia and China have to be brought under control for this to have any chance of success.
And good luck with that.
We need Regime change throughout the Western World. The sooner the better.
Will the West’s greed and hatred lead to the end of the world?
Well, the western world – for sure. Russians – they would outlive it; if they can survive the Eltsin’s 90s, they can survive anything. The Chinese – probably survive. All small potatoes between the big three – that depends on if the people there throw out the US quinslings.
Certainly the West is acting in a despicable manner if any kind of standard of morality is applied besides “the end justifies the means” which is the Washington dictum. However, I don’t yet see a decline in the Washington Empire’s power. Since 2001 they have captured, through their covert operatives, the entire mainstream media, the university systems at least in the UK and USA, united the EU/NATO with a common purpose with the Empire to keep the Asiatic hordes at bay. The decision makers in Washington believe its either the Western Europe/USA model of society or its the totalitarianism of China that will guide the future of the globe and, as I’ve heard reported to me “it’s either us or the Chinese” and that’s the overall policy objective of the West and what unites the ruling classes of the West.
I see the situations we face as as “the Empire Strikes Back” moment in history. These oligarchs believe that if you can’t directly strike at Russia, China and/or Iran you just make life as difficult as possible for them while lowering the standards of living for the people of the West to wean them away from a culture of hedonism to one of “defending democracy” never mind that it, at least in the USA, is barely present or present de jure rather de facto. The leadership class does not have to worry about being displaced because it is a class or cadre as we can see from the lack of change it government policies over many administrations.
The USA and its yappy little pooch the UK will happily destroy the world if a) they can’t rule it, and b) can’t make any profit from its continued existence.
