How to deal with the Kremlin-created crisis in Europe
Since President Biden’s virtual summit with President Putin on December 7, Russia has increased its troop presence on or near Ukraine’s borders. Having created this crisis, the Kremlin has demanded security guarantees for Russia that the United States and its allies cannot possibly provide. It has made provocative statements at high levels, including outlandish claims that US private military contractors intend to launch a chemical weapons attack in eastern Ukraine. Moscow wrongly asserts that NATO enlargement has created a military threat to Russia; the Alliance has fully abided by its commitments in the NATO-Russia Founding Act to refrain from deploying nuclear weapons or permanently stationing substantial combat forces on the territory of new member states, despite the fact that Russia has violated many of its own Founding Act commitments, as well as the UN Charter, the Helsinki Final Act, the Paris Charter, and the Budapest Memorandum.
In short, Moscow appears to be setting the stage for launching a major conventional assault on Ukraine, even though the United States and NATO have shown a willingness to sit down and discuss Kremlin concerns.
We believe the United States should, in closest consultation with its NATO allies and with Ukraine, take immediate steps to affect the Kremlin’s cost-benefit calculations before the Russian leadership opts for further military escalation. This means raising the costs that would ensue should the Russian military launch a new assault on Ukraine, building on the excellent set of measures the Biden administration has already laid out: enacting punishing sanctions on Moscow, sending major military supplies to Ukraine, and strengthening NATO’s force posture on its eastern flank.
The administration should continue its good work with the European Union and other partners to ensure agreement on the elements of a response to any Russian assault on Ukraine, regardless of the extent or form of Russia’s escalation. Such a response would include a package of major and painful sanctions that would be applied immediately if Russia assaults Ukraine. Ideally, the outline of these sanctions would be communicated now to Moscow, so that the Kremlin has a clear understanding of the magnitude of the economic hit it will face. In particular, Washington should consult with Berlin and secure German agreement that it would prevent Nord Stream 2 from going into operation in the event of a Russian attack, making clear that otherwise the administration will not again waive sanctions on the pipeline.
The most important thing that the West can do now is to enhance the deterrent strength of Ukraine’s armed forces by providing military assistance and equipment on an expedited basis. For the Kremlin, a large invasion of Ukraine works only if Russian forces are able to seize and hold Ukrainian territory without sustaining significant and constant casualties. Western countries should act now to equip Ukraine’s military and territorial defense units with additional capabilities that can impose such costs.
Western military officials should consult urgently with their Ukrainian counterparts as to what assistance and equipment the Ukrainian military needs and could most quickly integrate into its operations to bolster its defensive strength. Such assistance might include additional Javelin anti-armor missiles and Q36 counter-battery radar systems as well as Stinger and other anti-aircraft missiles. The Biden administration should also encourage NATO allies to do more to enhance Ukraine’s defensive capabilities, making clear that the entire NATO Alliance stands together in opposing Russian aggression.
We believe that NATO should act now to begin bolstering its military presence on its eastern flank and communicating to Moscow that Russia’s escalation would bring a substantial number of US and Allied forces and a permanent presence in the Baltic states and Black Sea region. NATO should also signal to Moscow that any additional deployments could be reconsidered if/when the current crisis abates.
The West should also widen its political counteroffensive to retake the initiative from Moscow as it tries to use the threat of force to intimidate Ukraine, Europe, and the United States into acquiescing to its demands, many of which are plainly unjustified and unacceptable. The Biden administration should seek a Group of Seven (G7) statement at the head of state level condemning Moscow’s threat of wider war against Ukraine and work with allies and partners to use other fora, including the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and possibly the United Nations, to highlight the unacceptability of Russian military action and coercive threats.
The Biden administration should consult with NATO, the European Union, Ukraine, and key allies such as Poland on extensive preparations for dealing with the humanitarian crisis that a major Russian invasion would create.
Finally, the United States and its allies should continue to make clear their readiness for dialogue with Russia, to include concerns of NATO and other parties about Russian military and other aggressive activities. They have indicated that some elements in the Russia-proposed US-Russia treaty and NATO-Russia agreement may offer a basis for discussion and possible negotiation. The United States and NATO should make clear to the Kremlin that it must de-escalate the threatening military situation around Ukraine before there can be any substantive negotiation, and any negotiation must involve all parties whose security interests will be affected. These issues cannot simply be resolved in a bilateral US-Russia channel. Moreover, any negotiation should be consistent with the principles agreed to by all NATO members, Russia, and Ukraine, such as those in the Helsinki Final Act and the Charter of Paris.

Translation: We will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian and then we will drop an economic Iron Curtain between Europe and Russia. You will not ensnare us with your cheap gas! Take that Putin.
Until I reached the signatures I was sure that this was a spoof. Now I’m not sure.
I don’t know what to say. If this is their answer, then it means war. They have gone completely insane. No, they were insane.
If Nord Stream 2 project fails, then Russia will not have any incentives to hold back in Europe. Why then even talk to the dellusional idiots inside Brussels?
By the way, there is no other party in US other than war party. Trump is gone. Everyone else wants war.
Give it to them already. Or wait long enough to be swallowed whole. Yes, I know the dillema. “Maybe someone will listen to us if we yell loud enough?” No one will listen. West understands only violence, they built their empire on it. Wake the hell up.
First, the USA should catch up with North Korea in development.

These and the rest of the crew. What a company of clowns.
Dangerous clowns.
That’s got to be the longest suicide note ever written.
Let me remind the US of one thing. Your society barely survived 9/11, whether it was FF or not. When the missiles start landing inside the US, it will be anarchy. Riots, looting, etc.
Then the population will ask why the military can’t defend them. A trillion a year for defense…actually a trillion a year for offense and none for defense.
I don’t know what Putin will do next. Everything he has done has been a surprise to me, but looking back it was always the best move.
@Bigsby
Dark humor that first sentence.
Perfectly written.
Probably more like $100 billion for offense and $900 billion for profit.
It is over. Russian’ demands were met with a promise by Washington not to bring Ukraine into NATO and to not place offensive weapons near the border with Russia. Otherwise, Ryabkob would have walked out of the Geneva talks and would have canceled the upcoming Russia-NATO briefing. However, Russia insists on written guarantees and that requirement upsets the domestic politics and NATO allies. France & Germany will not risk a war in Europe on behalf of Ukraine. It is over. Germany is desperate for Russian gas and France can not risk a flood of refuges displaced from the war theatre. NATO’s eastward expansion is over. This made Blinken & Stoltenberg very angry.
The signatories is the usual list of warmongering war criminals who apparently equate the Russian military with Saddam’s in 1991 or Yugoslavia 1999.
If any nation weighs the cost of war most meticulously, it is Russia who lost 28,000,000 citizens to a similar Nazi threat in the 1940s.
Fascists love the smell of war and hallucinate the smell of burning Russian flesh.
What is coming their way has no time for olfactory sensations. Thermobaric munitions flash and suck the oxygen and reduce everything to ashes in one second.
The War Party ain’t going to get a party this time.
The are going to get a fat piece of Hell, dished from the Heavens by the saints of the Steppes who vowed never to allow a war on their cities and villages again.
We pray for Peace, but are aware that the War Party has set themselves for another epoch-ending catastrophe.
The client states, vassals all, may each lose their capitals. Most certainly will lose their militaries.
The list is a coven of psychopaths and sociopaths. Their life’s work speaks for itself from the graves of their victims.
We pray for Peace.
The war party is controlling the media here, in North America and Europe. Risk of war is very high, but the population doesn’t realize it.
This letter is dangerous as it leads to believe that these dangerous guys want the best for Europe. Their motto: our financial platform is the best in the world and unites the world. If Russia doesn’t adhere to it, there will be more financial sanctions, more militants at your door, more military bases around your frontier.
They bet that Putin will give up in the next few months, Russia is not serious. Putin is doing the right thing to engage with the US. This is to show to the world that he tried and didn’t succeed. This will be useful later.
Yes!
Anyway i believe they caved in, and are looking for the best way to acknowledge publicly.
Be sure Ryabkov is helping out finding the sleekest wording …
The only Russian escalation is in the minds of the MSM and Deep State who want to profit from arms sales. It’s hard to say they want war for sure. They want to sell arms. Without western provocation there is no reason for Russia to act and no justification for sanctions. At this point it could go either way.
The EU/UK/USA are all equally committing economic suicide and the covid narrative is losing it’s edge to keep people’s minds away from the final smash n grab of wealth transfer to the ultra rich. It is entirely possible that the west may either make an attack on the Eastern Ukranians using their Kiev proxies to provoke Russia into a regionalised conflict to enable said santions, or even stage a false flag to justify Ukranian offensive action.
I think VVP has shown how effective Russian forces can be at very short notice in Kazakhstan so I don’t now see any options to Russia’s south for the west to sneak an attack. Ukraine appears to be the main option unless something can be hatched in the 3 B’s.
The west are desperate for a distraction but know they can’t pull anything off longer term. They’re in check but like a cornered animal they are unpredictable. All options remain open.
The whole think is a piece of cake !
VVP should hire me as an advisor , because even clever people tend to
overthink and get lost in bad ideas.
After the circus of negotiations are over , this is what should happen immediately .
The die has been cast , because VVP said this is it, the game is over. He must , and will do something.
Make a public special announcement that , because of the fact that the collective west is ignoring
Russia’s security concerns , because of the fact that half of the Ukraine army is at the ready.
Russia has no choice, but to make safety measures and as a first step as a precautions stop all
commercial flight over Russian territories , we all remember the plane was shot down over Ukraina in 2014, and they tried to blame it on Russia. That is all he should say and do, nothing else .
VVP, Russia didn’t offended no one didn’t attacked no one he is taking safety measure .
Because the situation is demanding that . Anytime a false flag , or an accident can take place
on the contested area. In fact it is a humanitarian step to make to protect civilians from trigger
happy crazies . That will be the first moment, when the speculating devils realize the Russians
mean business . Firs the blood will froze in they collective arteries, then they start running around
like chickens in the rain . And all of a sudden they all want to talk about it. Russia holds all the aces
play them Russia.!!!
While the text of the declaration itself is, as expected, a worthless piece of propaganda, I think we should be happy to see that the most notorious neocons, war hawks, and corrupt policy-makers have gathered to sign it. It is of great value for exposing the true enemy.
Fair enought ,the deluded fools who signed onto this missive have some influence, I have no idea how much, but they have no decision making power.
So this message can be dismissed as dangerous hot-air.
Can US stinger missiles stop Iskander, Kinzhal, Avangard missiles?
Anyway, it will be interesting to see how the USA public, which totally buys into this, will feel when Reality hits.
My PhD retired professor friend sent me an article “proving” that Putin is “rewriting history” when he cites “nonexistent assurance” that NATO would not expand. The liberals’ Bible the NYT told him so. As did Foreign Affairs magazine.
@Subhuti37
“Can US stinger missiles stop Iskander, Kinzhal, Avangard missiles?”
Only if attached to hypersonic missiles.
Stingers play hell with helicopters and slow bombers. Human eyesight and ergonomics.
Iskander missiles travel in final stage at Mach 5-6. Stingers would have to fire salvos of a dozen missiles to hope to intercept if somehow the missile incoming was seen. An human eyesight would perceive something for less than a second. In other words, impossible.
The other two are impossible, more so.
Picture a bow and arrow shooting down a bullet. Impossible.
You need hypersonic missiles to shoot down hypersonic missiles.
And you need great radar systems.
The US is 3 years from a reliable hypersonic missile and 5-8 years from a hypersonic missile defense.
Larchmonter445, we always appreciate your incisive commentary.
I was probably being too subtle. The article talks about Stinger missiles when they’re up against far more sophisticated weapons. My attempt at irony. Such a statement about sending Stinger missiles, when, as you’ve noted, Russian stand off capability far exceeds anything US/NATO has, and shows how absurd their thinking is.
Kind regards,
No problem.
The only possibly good thing about US threats to Russia, unlike previous threats to defenseless countries, is that they don’t say, ‘all options are on the table’. Meaning, nukes.
Most of them are either a member/work for the Atlantic Council or are on their so called “list of experts” and connected in some way. Hopefully this is just Atlantic Council air headed babbling.
I’d love to see these guys sit down with Andrei Martyanov who will explain the “facts of life” to them.
Did Doctor Strangelove not misspell his name and title? I wonder what their relationships with their spouses / significant others / nightime flings happen to be like. On second thought, I do not want to know since strange love is probably what they are into.
The corporations, NGOs, and universities are run by people who (as much as I hate quackiatry) should be in a quackiatry ward getting regular injections of clozapine (and probably lithium carbonate or lithium citrate).

The only way to make this stuff up is to be paranoid, delusional (of grandeur and undoubtably other things as (un)well), and pathological.
Breedlove (real name) was the guy who identified and publicised that Russia had area denial capabilities which could shut off half of the Mediterranean to the marauding NATO ships…I recall that he was a little upset over this fact…
PS: They have gone full Hitler and Goebbels raised by at least one order of magnitude. I fear a coup by Zionist, Neoconservative, Neo-liberal corporatist, Republicans (the party, not the dictionary / common usage definition) where Cruz, Wicker, or a likeminded creature plays the role Gennady Ivanovich Yanayev played a little over 30 years ago.
The warmongers in the MICIMATT and many others in many corporations, plus those watching the Multifunction Plato’s Cave Displays (because they also contain Wurlitzer organs) need to be told to sign up or shut up and put right in the very front of the front lines, as long as they do not have access to the unconventional weapons, even the likes of General Strangelove and Wacky Clark.
If blood of American troops gets spilt, at least let it be those traitors responsible for destroying the Constitutional Republic, or gung ho support the system that has been in place since its destruction. Trouble is, there may be too many of them. Even 30% of those between 18 and 65 is around 0.3 * 0.8 * 330,000,000 or 79,200,000. That is probably a low-ball figure.
A U.S. population of 250.8 million or less would make it easier to deal with Peak Fossil Fuels and be great for its (and the planet’s) carbon footprint.
OK, here’s the drill. Mother does not have to nuke half of sehsha and eu, in fact she does not have to nuke anyone unless someone tosses a nuke at us first.
1. About two weeks ago there was a little happening no one noticed. I noticed and my first thought was ‘so that’s the ‘or else”. OpSec means I won’t, and can’t, say a word but it was in the news both in sehsha and Mother, minor the news blurbs may have been and the happening even evoked a squeak from langley and five points, just one little squeak that made the news.
2. The way to shut down sehsha and eu is simple. Drop a cruise missile or partizan attack on major and medium city’s water treatment plants and sewage treatment facilities and at the same time drop choke point bridges on the interstate, autobahn and rail systems. Within two days the chaos will start, in a week the chaos will be legendary. I know the answer to this problem but damned if I’ll tell sehsha/eu.
3. It is obvious the ever more entrenched statements from sehsha and eu clearly say that the talks concerning the notultimatum are dead. Statements generally suggest that more ‘negotiations’ are needed but their lines have been drawn and amount to a ‘hell no’ to the notultimatum. Mother will clearly not put up with this and has said so from the beginning when she handed sehsha/eu the notultimatum.
4. This means war. Period. When I don’t know and mayhap it won’t ‘really’ be war per se, cooler heads in sehsha/eu might, just might, prevail when the realization hits them that Mother is coming for a visit…..again.
5. On the other hand it’s possible that the ‘or else’ has a modicum of chance to defuse the situation. We’re preparing anyway. Not a thing we ordinary workers and peasants can do besides get in extra fodder for the horses and dogs and make sure we have enough tape for the windows….and sit and watch, hoping all this s//t will blow over. Hope springs eternal…..

They should be locked up in their own free democratic concentration camp – although the Cuban people cannot be expected to live in such a neighborhood – so better into the closed psychatry.
These people is pathologically delusional. They seem to believe their own lies and lack any sense of responsibility. Should the administration follow their shit recommendations today, world would ends tomorrow. At least almost no military official signed it.
I pray for Russia dropping NS2 at once and just sell gas to Europe at spot market, shipping it in to them in Vladivostok.
Ukraine, West is really doing its best to switch it from 404 to 410 nation.
Preventing NS2 from coming to fruition has been what the neocons wanted (what else explains the sanctions coming from Washington?), so I don’t follow.
When I first read the name of Dr. Stephen Blank I thought this was a parody. – You can’t make this up.
Russia can play the energy card—the EU’s dependence on Russian oil and gas (47% in 2021) has become painfully clear this year, but it is a little known fact that Russia is the U.S.’s third largest supplier of petroleum products. In 2020, the U.S. imported 538,000 barrels per day from Russia, and even more in 2021. Russia’s supply accounts for 7% of all U.S. petroleum imports, and while an energy loss of 7% would be a major blow to the U.S., Russia can easily divert these shipments to the East and sell them there.
Were Russia to cut off its energy supplies to the EU, the economic devastation would be immediate and immeasurable. And the physical and infrastructure destruction would be even worse. People would literally freeze to death, pipes would freeze and burst, factories would be shut down and deteriorate, never to be re-opened. That is actually happening now in Ukraine. The U.S. and EU should take a look at that and take a lesson from it.
The Russia-China strategic partnership is not only military, it is economic. The U.S. economy today is a façade, a paper tiger with no real strength or foundation. The U.S. national debt is officially $30 trillion, more than 90% of GDP, and the true number, including U.S. government “unfunded liabilities” including $21 trillion for Social Security and $33 trillion for Medicare, is perhaps as much as ten times higher. It is a debt that can and will never be paid.

Not sure if this has been posted on previous threads but, in addition to the video/transcript of the Ryabkov press conference which most here will have watched, it is worth reading in full to absorb the nuances of what really occured in Geneva on Monday.
https://www.state.gov/briefing-with-deputy-secretary-wendy-r-sherman-on-the-u-s-russia-strategic-stability-dialogue/
Frankly, and in spite of Ryabkov’s indications that it was not entirely futile, the Sherman transcript makes very depressing reading indeed IMHO. It nods in the direction of ‘Russia’s security concerns’ but repeats all the tired old cliches of Russian ‘aggression against Ukraine’, Crimea, and its ‘continued formenting/enabling of the deadly impasse in the Donbass’ etc etc. Likewise most of the questions fielded. The impression given is that Russia’s concerns and proposals have been read, noted and and, for internal planning purposes, summarily rejected whilst going through the meetings scharade for public propaganda purposes.
On the evidence of this transcript it is clear that the US will try to string Russia along with increasingly detailed technical ‘arms control negotiations’ whilst continuing – even accelerating – what it has been doing these past 20+ years.
I hope Ryabkov will make it crystal clear in Brussels today (and at the OSCE tomorrow if that meeting is still considered worth attending), that this will be taken as a rejection and that Russia will therefore act unilaterally to secure the objectives so clearly outlined in its original 2 x ultimata documents – the nature, timing and extent of such action to be pondered by the US and its underlings prior to it hitting them squarely between the eyes, so-to-speak.
At least American patriots will have no trouble finding these lunatics once America is liberated from globalist occupation.
This arrived in my inbox overnight from my friend who’s a Professor of History & Politics here in Scotland. I hadn’t heard of this publication but pleasantly surprised.

The meeting in Brussels has concluded and Wendy Sherman held her press conference where she toted the same U.S.-NATO propaganda Russia has heard before.
See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6OhL047tOE4 .
Wendy needs to take her ‘Peter Pan’ diplomacy back to Washington, DC and take care of her ‘Lost Boys’ at the U.S. State Department because there is a storm a com’in and it’s going to be very, very bad.

I am always amazed at the amount of bullshit USA citizens receive on a daily basis. I was reading an article on Facebook, to which one eastern guy said the sole way to solve the current crisis over Ukraine is to have the US stop its nefarious policies towards Russia. I sided with him, and it didn’t take long before some Americans reply with their usual insults:
– Africans are only supporting Russia, but they always go to the West as refugees
– Russia has got nothing to offer the free world, and is making use of power to impose its presence towards the Baltic Statelets, Libya, Mali, the Central African Republic, and some other places here and there.
Why am I writing this? Just to let you know that most western citizens have yet to realize that they have lived in a matrix for most of their lives, and may end up dying for the wrong reasons!
Recently there is talk about the longer term destabilizing strategies behind abandonment of billions worth of armaments in Afghan hands, whatever the case, these revenues went to the contractors representing the above signatories. There is also, and for a good while, both beforehand and afterward, various discussions on the private armies and contractor proxies, I think CAF is most quoted for describing a hidden-in-plainsight monstrosity of monstrosities, but there has been much discussions altogether alarming in potential scope. It seems evident that Ukrainian militants and technicians are a certain center of contractors-for-hire, that they are deep into a multi-vectorial strategy of brigantine lawlessness — that they play any one side would be a forgivable but necessarily false inclusion into the plot, since this is chaos as we all know. The great dangers lurking now are precisely these, that power in weaponry of exceeding divers character is now directed by invisible hands, for hidden agendas; a level of chaos surpassed by none. To theory of the games of war, we should all be eyeing the new plot brewing which is the eventual homogenization of Eurasia and all of its sundry elements, the Black Sea nations, especially Turkey stand to factor most heavily into these computational conclusions —so I posit the longer term goal is the awaited subjection of Turkey by the regional actors misaligned with her, which is everyone; Russia, Ukraine, Greece, et al. I’m calling Ukraine and Afghans the preparatory gambits to set the stage of what is soon to follow — a multipolar conflagration to eventually establish the ruler of the Pan-planetary imperium.
I thought this was a Jokes. A satire…until i followed the link. Thats not meant to be a joke. Well then lets talk mister Zirkon to them maybe then they understand
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zzCCQ633pkk
This video is enough propaganda for a lifetime, which NBC received from some “military expert” in the US.
My point is that it is very easy for the West to false flag an attack on LDNR, maybe even have Ukraine kill their Nazi proxy, try to bait and force Russia to come into Ukrainian territory, and then claim “Russian invasion”.
Regardless, it shows that they basically let the cat out of the bag with this story.
