Here is a transcript from this website: https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/sec-of-state-antony-blinken-addresses-russia-ukraine-crisis-un-speech-transcript (thank you A.H.H.!)
… member this council and every country in the world, because the basic principles that sustain peace and security, principles that were enshrined in the wake of two world wars and a cold war, are under threat, the principle that one country cannot change the borders of another by force, the principle that one country cannot dictate another’s choices or policies or with whom it will associate, the principle of national sovereignty. This is the exact kind of crisis that the United Nations, and specifically this security council, was created to prevent.
We must address what Russia is doing right now to Ukraine. Over the past months, without provocation or justification. Russia has a amassed more than 150,000 troops around Ukraine’s borders, in Russia, Belarus, occupied Crimea. Russia says it’s drawing down those forces. We do not see that happening on the ground. Our information indicates clearly that these forces, including ground troops, aircraft, ships, are preparing to launch an attack against Ukraine in the coming days.
We don’t know precisely how things will play out, but here’s what the world can expect to see unfold. In fact, it’s unfolding right now, today, as Russia takes steps down the path to war and reissued the threat of military action. First, Russia plans to manufacture a pretext for its attack. This could be a violent event that Russia will blame on Ukraine or an outrageous accusation that Russia will level against the Ukrainian government. We don’t know exactly the formal take. It could be a fabricated so-called terrorist inside Russia, the invented discovery of a mass grave, a staged drone strike against civilians, or a fake, even a real, attack using chemical weapons. Russia may describe this event as ethnic cleansing or a genocide, making a mockery of a concept that we in this chamber do not take lightly, nor do I take lightly, based on my family history.
[Note by Andrei: Blinken is a Ukrainian Jew and he should remember that historically Ukies hated Jews (all pogroms took place in the Ukraine) but not Russians. This guy is a disgrace to his own people!]
In the past few days, Russian media has already begun to spread some of these false alarms and claims to maximize public outrage, to lay the groundwork for an invented justification for war. Today, that drum beat has only intensified in Russia’s state-controlled media. We’ve heard some of these basic allegations from Russian-backed speakers here today.
Second, in response to this manufactured provocation, the highest levels of the Russian government may theatrically convene emergency meetings to address the so-called crisis. The government will issue proclamations declaring that Russia must respond to defend Russian citizens or ethnic Russians in Ukraine.
Next, the attack is planned to begin. Russian missiles and bombs will drop across Ukraine, communications will be jammed, cyber attacks will shut down key Ukrainian institutions. After that, Russian tanks and soldiers will advance on key targets that have already been identified and mapped out in detailed plans. We believe these targets include Ukraine’s capital, Kiev, a city of 2.8 million people.
Conventional attacks are not all that Russia plans to inflict upon the people of Ukraine. We have information that indicates were Russia will target specific groups of Ukrainians. We’ve been warning the Ukrainian government of all that is coming, and here today, we are laying it out in great detail with the hope that by sharing what we know with the world, we can influence Russia to abandon the path of war and choose a different path while there’s still time.
Now, I’m mindful that some have called into question our information, recalling previous instances where intelligence ultimately did not bear out, but let me be clear, I am here today not to start a war, but to prevent one. The information I presented here is validated by what we’ve seen unfolding in plain sight, before our eyes, for months. Remember that while Russia has repeatedly derived our warnings and alarms as melodrama and nonsense, they have been steadily amassing more than 150,000 troops on Ukraine’s borders, as well as the capabilities to conduct a massive military assault. It isn’t just us seeing this, allies and partners see the same thing, and Russia hasn’t only been hearing from us, the international chorus has grown louder and louder.
If Russia doesn’t invade Ukraine, then we will be relieved that Russia changed course and proved our predictions wrong. That would be a far better outcome than the course we’re currently on and we’ll gladly accept any criticism that anyone directs at us. As President Biden said, this would be a war of choice, and if Russia makes that choice, we’ve been clear, along with allies and partners, that our response will be sharp and decisive. President Biden reiterated that forcefully earlier this week.
There’s another choice Russia can still make, if there’s any truth to its claim that is committed to diplomacy. Diplomacy is the only responsible way to resolve this crisis. An essential part of this is through implementation of the Minsk agreements, the subject of our session today. There are a series of commitments that Russia and Ukraine made under Minsk, with the OSCE and the Normandy Format partners involved as well.
If Russia’s prepared to sit with the Ukrainian government and work through the process of implementing these commitments, our friends in France and Germany stand ready to convene senior level discussions in the Normandy Format to settle these issues. Ukraine is ready for this, and we stand fully ready to support the parties.
Progress toward resolving the Donbas crisis through the Minsk agreements can reinforce the broader discussions on security issues that we’re prepared to engage in with Russia, in coordination with our allies and partners. More than three weeks ago, we provided Russia with a paper that detailed concrete reciprocal steps that we can in the near term to address our respective concerns and advance the collective security interests of Russia, the United States, and our European partners and allies. This morning, we received a response, which we’re evaluating.
Earlier today. I sent a letter to Russia’s foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, proposing that we meet next week in Europe, following on our talks in recent weeks, to discuss the steps that we can take to resolve this crisis without conflict. We’re also proposing meetings of the NATO Russia Council and the OSCE Permanent Council. These meetings can pave the way for a summit of key leaders, in the context of deescalation, to reach understandings on our mutual security concerns. As lead diplomats for our nations, we have a responsibility to make every effort for diplomacy to succeed, to leave no diplomatic stone unturned. If Russia’s committed to diplomacy, we’re presenting every opportunity for it to demonstrate that commitment.
I have no doubt that the response to my remarks here today will be more dismissals from the Russian government about the United States stoking hysteria or that it has no plans to invade Ukraine. Let me make this simple, the Russian government can announce today, with no qualification, equivocation or deflection, that Russia will not invade Ukraine. State it clearly, state it plainly to the world, and then demonstrate it by sending your troops, your tanks, your planes, back to their barracks and hangers and sending your diplomats to the negotiating table. In the coming days, the world will remember that commitment or the refusal to make it. I yield the floor.

Video here:
Classic. First you demonize the other side, spin tales, and spit out theories (coming false flag, chemical attack – hey it worked in Syria and don’t forget Skipral, etc.). Then you claim you want a peaceful solution and only wish to negotiate. Who wouldn’t want to have talks with someone that lies about you, basically spits in your face and then says, let’s be friends.
Projection: the unconscious transfer of one’s own desires or emotions to another person: one protects the self by a number of defense mechanisms, including repression and projection.
This entire psyop-Infowar is pure projection by the US and NATO. They wet-dream not just drawing the Russians to invade, but they fantasize actually being the attackers who somehow could cross the steppes and destroy Russia in its homeland.
Psychotic behavior, delivered as projection, and recorded as diplomacy.
This is why Putin and Shoigu have built an invincible military.
They saw the pathology developing and are armed, along with China to strap the straight-jacket on the insane.
Blinken definitely looks insane but also scared. He is out of his depth. But at least he is LG….+ and pedo friendly, right? Their radical feminists, trans, pedo, Satan-worshiping and homosexual officers are ready to press the button. They’ve got nothing to lose because they are crazy and it is now illegal to offer them help in the form of medication or psychiatry, because their unfortunate condition is labeled as “choice” and “orientation”.
Their America and Canada are Mordor. Puberty blockers can only be invented in Mordor. To push them onto kids as young as 5 – well, that is purely demonic.
When the dust settles I am afraid it will be hard to be a radical feminist or a member of alternative “life style”. They have been carefully groomed and installed in the positions where a sane person that can sustain stress must be.
A lot of your points ring very true Marko. We are our own worst enemy. This is what happens when society becomes apathetic. Russia is gallantly doing everything, anything, to avoid at all costs, but are exhausted, fed up and beyond angry at this point. Who can blame them.
Only the Lord knows what will happen…
Most likely Saruman. EU (4th Reich) is Mordor.
“Projection” Is Exactly what is being spewed by Blinken.
However this time I doubt the UNSC will fall for it.
Sadly I bet they will.
Just like the msm all rang their hands after the WMD BS, and said they would ‘never be fooled again’.
Too much self interest & pressure/threats from UK/US, for the majority not to go along. Sure Russia will vote against in any vote, China will most likely obtain.
But when has a blocked UN resolution ever made any difference? Uk/Us will go ahead with everything they have planned anyway
Well said, Larchmonter, as we think, so we become. It’s scary to see it all happening before our eyes.
Another very similar Psychotic behavior = Scapegoating. It is an extension or result of Projection …
Check this out – from John Laughland’s “A History of Political Trials” – very astute, highly relevant to the deliberate behavior of the West.
“… the anthropological mechanism of the scapegoat. The soldiers met to reflect on evil and they came to the conclusion that Charles I embodied it. Because they agreed to destroy him in an open ceremony, a trial, their mood changed and their depression vanished. It was an emotional moment, whose unifying power Allen was precisely trying to reactivate by recalling it ten years later.
[…] deep seated human reflex […] it often plays a decisive role.
A community can purchase unity by projecting evils (often its own evils) onto an external victim and then destroying that victim. It thus appears to purge itself of those evils, although in fact the unity thus obtained is only ever temporary. The sacrificial victim is very often an outsider to society – a foreigner, a cripple, a leper, or a king.”
Powerful stuff.
One observation which occurs to me often is that the content of the speeches they make prove that they understand the moral position.
This suggests to me that they are not insane and are probably not psychopaths individually.
This leaves us with evil. Pure, calculated evil (from our perspective).
They are on a mission for another God (from their perspective).
They are incompatible with us.
psychopathy difficult to deal with. It’s bordering on impossible to deal with psychopathic liars. Their love of usury and the god Mammon drives them into this hysterical megalomania, and their search for financial survival. They seem to believe your demented lies. They do it in a convincing way for the whole West. Only a miracle can save us from these crazy and irresponsible psychopaths. God help us!
Russian should simply announce the same thing JFK did during the Cuban missile crisis. Any attack on the Donbass will be considered a attack on Russia and those who ordered such attack will be subject to the full Russia military response. Go one further and announce the target package. Brussels, London, Washington, New York, Ottawa Canada, Canberra Australia, and New Zealand. All the five eyes to be blinded.
The decision maker’s will pay the price, not the appointed cannon fodder of the west.
There would be no “proof” of who actually ordered the attack. Hence if Russia announced this stance, they could only attack Ukraine since that is who executed the attack. And that’s what the US neocons want.
I believe the neocons believe Putin is a rational actor who doesn’t want to place the world at risk (of nuclear war). Knowing that, these people are willing to push the envelope as far as they can without Putin, not being a sociopath, responding. That presents Russia in a dilemma. Continue to endure the provocations or do something unexpected which could trigger a major escalation even a nuclear one.
Have you ever watch a Judo match between black belts? There’s a lot of cautious manuevering until one sees an opening, and then it is ver in less than a second.
they can still deal with them…in the Syria…..
If I’m not mistaken, Vladimir Valdimirovitch already did that. Unfortunately, he may have spelled it too politely and the meaning was lost to the US politicos.
The Yanks are becoming absolutely hysterical. Also, notice how no one at the council even bothers to bring up their endless wars, and their criminal, illegal invasions of foreign lands, particularly the current invasion and occupation of a region of Syria, where they are brazenly stealing oil.
“The big Satan is a big liar.” — Iranian chief of intelligence (1979)
“Blinken is a Ukrainian Jew and he should remember that historically Ukies hated Jews (all pogroms took place in the Ukraine) but not Russians. This guy is a disgrace to his own people!]”
Actually, that could perfectly justify and explain his actions in a personal capacity.
What he is pushing, if successful, will result in a disaster for the Ukrainians. And specifically those Ukrainians which made pogroms a thing.
There is much more, but, with such a background, that is all the motivation one would need to push for a ‘War to the last Ukrainian’*).
*) ‘Ukrainian’ here signifying those who want to fight the Russians. For the most part these are the descendents of the folks who wanted to get rid of the jews over there …
Both Ukies and Russians have cause for indignation against the tribe.
The Holodomor was carried out by Lazar Kaganovich, a member of the tribe,–Stalin’s henchman.
The bolshevik revolution which destroyed Christian Russia and murdered the Royal family was effected by its leading financial and activist elements–mainly of the tribe.
“The leaders of the revolution were not Russian” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
You need to go deeper.
Events of the 20th century were only the follow-up of the pogroms in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Lookin only up to the early 20th century will give a very very wrong impression of the complexities of the relationships in the areas of (mostly western and central) Ukraine.
Besides, “holodomor” was very real. But the mystification proclaimed by the Ukraine of today has little to do with reality. Starting with reasons for it and ending with how many people died from hunger.
E.g. when you include “those not born because of tough times” as well as the babies mortality, at times when children were “expendable” and fully dependent on mother’s milk, you get a nice figure for PR. But it tells you nothing about the reality. So please do not pull this here. It has nothing to do with Blinken nor with the conflict unfolding.
Lastly.
Acknowledging and understanding someone’s reasons in doing something DOES NOT mean one agrees with those choices. Either morally or logically.
I do not disagree with you. I have merely added to what you have said. My statements remain true. Both Ukies and Russians have reasons for indignation against the tribe.
My point being, the people of Galicia had a peeve with the jews WAY WAY before. It go to the point the Russian state had to send in armies to set order and protect the jews. Multiple times.
In fact, while Russians maybe do have reasons to hate them, they do not and never did. Russian culture is not racist, is not religionist and is not exclusionary.
They will fight anyone who they consider a threat. If it is a religious group, so be it. But they will not attack people for their background or beliefs. Ever. This is the same with all the cultures who have grown in an inhospitable environment. They value life and ability to survive way higher to allow it to be endangered by petty disputes. And every member of the society counts when survival is at stake. Killing someone just because he believes in a different god would be stupid. Even more so if the person was educated or otherwise competent – which the Jews were.
As for the folks who made the pogroms, then joint the SS, and now are making the mess of Ukraine. These people hate ANYONE who is not their kin. In the past the most visible and hated were the jews – because they were different AND were competent. Today they hate the Russians – again because they are different and do not shared their exclusionary values, AND are more competent as a society. This hatred is NOT rational. It is not based on what some jews did to them. It is based on the jews not being them. That is enough. no further rationalization needed.
Hatred directed against a people is never just but indignation can be.
Peace
@Albertus..Not historian here, but when you say, ‘leading financial and activist elements’, would you be referring to The City London? They do have a special place in all this. Not really fair to leave them out.
Cheers M
I couldn’t listen to Blinken for more than 3 minutes because what comes out of his mouth reeks of lies and falsehood.
I think that, now, war is inevitable.
The die is cast, I really want to see the Empire eat dust.
What Blinken accomplished was to preemptively seize the narrative once “something happens.”
Only in and only for Zone A
Andrei
He laid out possible false flag chemical attacks, perhaps a false flag (self-inflicted) bombing in Moscow, and several possibilities. Once it happens, there won’t be any proof immediately who actually carried out the false flag, but the US can say “we warned you” ahead of time that Russia was going to do this. This is the personification of evil.
Will it work with the US population, which has witnessed over and over deceptive claims that later turned out to be false. Forget JFK or even 9-11. Just look at the recent era with Iraq, Libya, Russiagate, Skipral, etc. Works every time. The public will buy in as always.
Yes Andrei, but I live in zone A and have to take in this crap. There is no media, and increasingly no justice. And this is no longer a representative democracy. Soon there will be only tyranny.
You have already, only had tyranny.
Tyranny: The withholding of educational material for personal and/or organized profit and/or power.
People defend themselves with weapons when they can not defend them selves with words. Ukraine
What Blinken accomplished was to preemptively seize the narrative once “something happens.”
Whenever western media talk abut Russian invasion, they are telling the idiot class here that Ukraine = Russian invasion.
Critical thinking is dead in the US. Most of my neighbors thinl Palestinians attack Israel and that Israelis are the hapless victims.
After insult Russia ad nauseam and vomiting all its frustrations, I rescue that they want to apply the Minsk agreements. It is for me a cover capitulation saying: “Look, if we can get this barbarians on the negotiating table to save Ukraine, then we will win”
Here’s a Blinken false flag projection:
We will not allow anyone to devalue the tragedy of Donbass – Daria Morozova
Maya KlimovaMaya Klimova
Donetsk People’s Republic.
Today 14: 20 4 625
I will not comment or add anything to the statement of the DPR Human Rights Commissioner, the Authorized Representative of the Donetsk People’s Republic at the Minsk talks, Daria Morozova. I’ll just quote Daria Vasilyevna in full:
“The Investigative Committee of Russia has opened a criminal case on the discovery of mass unmarked graves of victims of Ukrainian aggression in the Donbas. According to the Committee, in the period from August to October 2021, the remains of at least 295 civilians killed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces ‘ shelling in 2014 were exhumed from five spontaneous mass graves on the territory of the DPR and LPR.
The criminal case was initiated under part 1 of Article 356 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, which clearly defines the nature of the crimes of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in our region – ill-treatment of the civilian population, the use of means and methods prohibited by an international treaty in an armed conflict.
We are talking about the deliberate destruction of civilians. About such a scale of armed aggression, in which people were deprived of the opportunity to even bury the dead in accordance with the canons. In fact, this statement of the Committee was another confirmation of the words of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, who called the events in the Donbass a genocide.
Let me remind you that since 2014, only in the territory of the DPR, more than 5,000 people have become victims of shelling by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Among the dead – 91 children. Another 8,000 people were injured. And, unfortunately, we understand that in reality the death toll is much higher. This, in turn, is confirmed by the discovery of mass and spontaneous burial sites. Since the beginning of the conflict in the DPR, about 130 such locations have been identified. And this is only about 40% of the total.
I will not give an assessment of the moral qualities of the official speaker of the White House, who allowed herself to call the data announced by the UK disinformation. But I invite all those who deny the genocide in the Donbas to join the search activities in the Republics. See the mutilated remains of women and children. Look into the eyes of relatives of citizens who went missing during the conflict. And most importantly-to explain to people who have been living in the mountain of obscurity for years.
We have been observing for eight years how the international community tries to ignore the tragedy of Donbass. And all this time we have been trying to get an adequate response to what is happening in the region in a civilized and legal way. But we will not allow anyone to speculate on our grief and devalue it.
We record every fact that proves that the actions of the Kiev regime in the Donbas have signs of crimes against humanity. And I assure you, we will not stop until the perpetrators are brought to justice. Let me remind you that war crimes and crimes of genocide have no statute of limitations. The trial will inevitably take place. And not only the initiators and executors of deadly orders will have to answer, but also the accomplices of the rise of fascism in modern Ukraine.”

Notice also how no one mentions why the Yanks so fearful of a potential Russian invasion. They are afraid of losing their US colony in Kiev. A colony that has killed upwards of up to 30,000 innocent civilians in Donbass.
This is not about losing Ukraine; it is about losing a spot near Moscow from where they can hit Russia’s heart. This is about US hegemony — that is, the hegemony of capital. This is about the dollar. This is about the financial system…
Blinken has no sense of irony – a sweeping characteristic of Jews. They have absolutely no concept of self-reflection. For years I have used the term “autistic” to describe their general behaviour. And in Israel, this characteristic is simply stunning. Is it any wonder that the Jews were chased out of every country/community in which they lived and with which they interacted? We have all seen the US fabricate this phantom war but even more than that, Nuland’s regime change obviously was not interference in Ukrainian politics. Actually they make one sick – or at least me!!
Dear Lynda
Agreed in Blinken, he has no sense of irony.
But I will add one more thing: alas, but it is a fact that the Jewish culture(s) is/are often extremely narcissistic.
After all, both rabbinical Phariseism and Zionism teach self-worship.
That is why your voice, and the voices of those Jews who categorically reject self-worship, racism, narcissism, exceptionalism, exclusive and eternal victim status and all the rest of the Zionist propaganda are so important!
Notice that these SOBs call themselves “Jewish Dems” and not “Zionist Dems”. These are the same folks who then see “anti-Semitism” everywhere and demand some kind of special protections, as if we, the rest of the planet, owed them anything.
The truth is that it is precisely Zionist Jews and their sick ideology which did more to perpetrate “anti-Semitism” than all the Nazis in history taken together…
Thank you Lynda, and stay safe!

Oh man, that made my day :-)
He is an idiot.
That is quite undeniable!
Andrei
This is a nothing burger, the Russians are going to go in, clean house, and cause as much pain as possible on the way out.
Definetely, if the Russian do it, they will not stay.
After seeing puppet POTUS Biden yesterday, I find that Blinken is even further around the bend than his dear Leader. Not one threat has been issued by Russia, not one boot on the border with Ukraine, not the slightest intention of Russia to take the burden of such a hostile entity by force, no aggression of any kind or threat to anyone else in the vicinity. For such complete lack of observation, of listening to Russia which has consistently explained its stance, of using even the small amount of commonsense, SoS Blinken lacks any qualifications at all, even in the USA which seems to regard diplomacy as weakness, for his job.
I believe that I have just listened to Mr Blinken elevate hypocrisy to an art form.
Truly my disgust for these mouth pieces of the “empire” now has no limits.
My thanks to the Saker and the commentators on this site for helping preserve what is left of my sanity
in these surreal times
It is quite disgusting to see, hear, or read such an Ignorant Hypocritic Idiot.
his mouth is like an open sewer…
Looks like they are going to get it, get what they so intensely look for : A WAR.
it is just suicidal… they are really crazy. God help us.
The tools of the empire are being shown for what they are.I was at the local corner shop, an Irish country crossroads filling station and convenience store .Was chatting to one of the local lads’ his 50’s a normal hardworking guy.Biden came up in conversation and he said it like it is.
This maniac ,Biden,is clearly on heavy medications and a dangerous idiot. Never think that people can’t see the obvious.
The same applies to Blinken and all the rest of these psychopaths and never forget the deep distrust in Ireland of anything the British are baying about.
A few nights ago Yurei Filatov,the Russian ambassador to Ireland, was interviewed by a typical attractive MSM woman journalist with the usual attitude taken by such people.
It was a study in truth versus lies and the expression was priceless on the interviewer as each time she tried to lead she was corrected firmly.I don’t think that she had ever had to face such a formidable diplomat previously and it was there for all to see.
The interview may be found on RTE website under the program called Prime Time broadcast on 15 feb.
Of course since the predicted invasion did not happen on the date more lies must be spouted now and infinitum.
The empires clothes are wearing very threadbare for all to see what is beneath and it is indeed very decayed demented dangerous devious and delusional.
The arrogance and hubris is a sight to behold. Its bad enough as of itself; but after Powell’s Iraq anthrax bullshit, which cost millions of lives and destroyed a country, and they even hung its leader, it takes a special kind of evil to try this trick again at the UN.
There is an ultra large piece of karma on its way shortly for the US. And no, I don’t believe there are 2 US’s – a good one and a bad one.
Insanity has consequences…
I do not want to waste time by listening men who are out of touch of reality. They spoke like it’s 1999. Well, it isn’t.
Whatever they managed go negotiate with Russia behind curtain is crumbling after only couple of days. My guess is they tried to cheat on deal, got immediately caught, now things are back on square one.
No problemo, they’ll be back in negotiations in no time, as western position is worsening economicaly and socialy day by day. Vitriolic speak is all they can do. It is matter of weeks or months when vasals will get courage and stop to obey. Alternative is to accept large part of US looming (hyper?) inflation on their back.
Pain dial started to move by itself.
“Let me make this simple, the Russian government can announce today, with no qualification, equivocation or deflection, that Russia will not invade Ukraine. State it clearly, state it plainly to the world, and then demonstrate it by sending your troops, your tanks, your planes, back to their barracks and hangers and sending your diplomats to the negotiating table. In the coming days, the world will remember that commitment or the refusal to make it.”
I ask sarcastically because I wouldn’t want them to actually do it but why shouldn’t Russia simply follow Washington’s lead by making the commitments that are asked for and then do what it wants anyway? After all that would appear to be Washington’s modus operandi and if they can repeatedly lie with reckless abandon, why should anyone else do any different?
“the basic principles that sustain peace and security, principles that were enshrined in the wake of two world wars and a cold war, are under threat”
Washington broke the treaties that ensured balance.
“the principle that one country cannot change the borders of another by force”
Kosovo? Who’s attempting to redraw the territory of Syria through an illegal occupation following their failed terrorist war against a sovereign and innocent people? As an aside, will Israel be returning the Golan Heights any time soon? How about the land they are ethnically cleansing at present?
“the principle that one country cannot dictate another’s choices or policies or with whom it will associate”
Is he kidding?? Is Germany allowed to buy gas from whoever it chooses? What will happen if it makes it’s own choices or policies and with whom it will associate? Sanctions???? Bullying??? Blackmail???? Outright threats??? The world is a big place and it doesn’t belong to the USA despite what these psychos may think.
“the principle of national sovereignty”
Venezeula? Iran? Iraq? Syria? How may other nations had their democratically elected governments overthrown in one way or another by the USA? What about their national sovereignty, their freedom to choose their representatives and the manner in which their nations are run?
The slapdown is going to come and when it does, no one could ever deserve it more.
So..all the meetings between peoples have led so far to
.UNSC today ….Nato Defence ministers meeting 2nd day today .. tomortow Munich Security Conference plus G20..EU Council meeting…potential Nato-Russian Council
On and on..rode the six hundred of the Light Brigade into the Russian guns…..
“…the principle that one country cannot change the borders of another by force, the principle that one country cannot dictate another’s choices or policies or with whom it will associate, the principle of national sovereignty.”
Yes, of course! Exactly what NATO respected in Yugoslavia, the US in Iraq and Afghanistan, the US / UK / France / Turkey / Gulf Monarchies in Syria, the “West” in Libya, etc.
Biden, Blinken, corporate media and rest of the ruling elite they represent are clamoring for war with Russia. This needs to be considered within the framework of an American Empire facing accelerating economic decline- exploding deficits, high inflation, while at the same time, the Pentagon confronts a repeat of the $2 trillion Afghanistan debacle in Iraq, Libya, Syria and Yemen (poorest country in the ME). Indeed, the
rot/decline of late-stage American capitalism has progressed to the point where its very survival requires constant debt monetization (aka money printing) to prop up Wall St., over-priced real estate, the Pentagon and war. The American ruling elite are enraged the Russia-China-Iran axis have attained economic/military parity and are viewed as an intolerable obstacle to US global power. Thus the lust for a [nuclear] war with Russia.
They just keep talking about a chemical attack. That really suggests to me that this is what is going to happen as a false flag, but but by the CIA and neocons and hardline Ukies, not Russia.
As Alexander Mercouris suggested in his video Wednesday, the West may be moving the Ukraine government to Lviv precisely because there is an intention to “abandon central and eastern Ukraine.” I expanded that in a post yesterday to suggest that there is a planned false flag attack on Kiev, which is why the government, the Western embassies and the oligarchs all fled.
Conspiracy theory, yes, but a plausible one.
A lot of bullshit from a professional bullshiter. (pardon my american english)
Dear Saker,
When I was 9 years old, I asked my grandmother who all the pictures were on the mantle. They were her relatives in Lithuania, all but two who escaped, killed by Hitler. At the time, I thought. “That could happen again”. And it is.
You are quite correct, most of the Jews in the USA came from the Ukraine, Poland, Lithuania, Belorussia, to escape poverty and pogroms. What I see now is the same people who engaged in pogroms in the 19th century, engaged in genocide during WWII, and here we are again, with such hateful people. It explains the ideological similarities between the Baltics, Poland and Ukraine. They all hate Jews and Russians. Crazy but it is what it is.
What’s also disturbing is that, aside from those like Helen Keller, Albert Einstein, Jonas Salk and other humanitarians, a faction within the Jewish community were predators. So it is not surprising that people like Blinken and Nuland are as cynical and hypocritical as they are. How they can empower Ukrainian Nazis is just mindboggling. Yet, as you say, they share a hateful view of the world, so are in a sense allies.
In 1948, Einstein and Hannah Arendt wrote a letter to the NYT cosigned by over 40 prominent Jewish figures, criticizing those in Zionist armed groups who carried out massacres against Palestinians. Unfortunately, the faction that now rules Israel, and also dominates the neocon faction in the US, got control and the horrific results are plain to see. I try to understand how people like Blinken can speak so cynically and in such a twisted way. What happened to people like him that causes him to be like that?
Probably a combination of childhood psychological violence coupled with a sense of entitlement. We see that in both British elites, as well as American Exceptionalist mentality. The Chosen People are thus both victims and predators. So it makes sense that the AngloZionist configuration that you refer to shows the same psychological profile.
satan has spoken, using blinken as his mouthpiece.
