Washington and its NATO allies are jeopardizing peace in Europe. They are creating the conditions for war in between nuclear powers.
American President Joe Biden said today he thinks Russia will attack Ukraine. Only days earlier, Biden and his top assistants were uncertain, stating they didn’t understand if that would take place. If the highest-ranking members of the U.S. executive can’t settle on a coherent thought process, then there is strong reason to conclude that they are clueless and what they are declaring is unwarranted. In short, lies.
Deplorably, nevertheless, this cluelessness is prompting war in Europe. For nearly two months now, the Biden administration, aided and abetted by Western media, has actually been pummeling the general public with the message that Russia is planning to get into Ukraine. This is not innocent cluelessness. It is criminal incitement of war and crimes against peace.
All of this propaganda– for that’s what it is– counts on a toxic Cold War mindset, along with Russophobia, conceited assertions bereft of any substance, and dodgy data. Satellite images purportedly of a Russian military accumulation on Ukraine’s border in fact shows recognized bases numerous kilometers inside Russia’s territory.
Similar to the lead-up to the Anglo-American war of aggressiveness on Iraq in 2003, there is an orchestration of Western public understanding in order to “make permission” for conflict, this time with Russia. The Big Lie technique innovated by Nazi propagandist Josep Goebbels and perfected by Western royal powers is being released as soon as again.
Moscow has consistently and unconditionally declined claims of an intrusion plan and says it has no intention of attacking any nation. Russia has actually interested Western states to refrain from uttering this dull madness. The mere recommendation of those allegations reveals an intriguing anti-Russian bias and a reckless stoking of instability. It is mind-blowing that Moscow is obliged to state that troops within its territorial borders are a sovereign matter that does not require any description or accountability to any foreign federal government.
Now we are told this week that the “specter of war” is growing and the talks on Friday between U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Geneva are apparently “last-ditch efforts” for diplomacy to prevent conflict.
There is certainly a ludicrous and careless double accumulation: of military forces as well as of propaganda for war. This accumulation is all carried out on the side of the United States and its NATO partners consisting of the Western-backed program in Ukraine.
The U.S. and the NATO bloc are flooding Ukraine with weapons. The Biden administration simply announced an extra $200 million in military help to Kiev, on top of almost $3 billion that has been provided considering that 2014 when the CIA-sponsored coup d’état in Ukraine introduced a rabidly anti-Russian program.
Britain and other NATO members consisting of the Baltic states are sending out anti-tank and anti-aircraft rockets to Ukraine together with military advisors. All this weapons is pushing the Kiev program to intensify its offensive against the ethnic Russian population of Southeast Ukraine. Kiev forces have actually repudiated a political settlement to the almost eight-year civil war which began soon after the CIA-backed coup. This week there were reports of the Ukrainian militaries installing numerous rocket launchers on the contact line in the Donbas conflict zone, a relocation which is reading as preparation for a major offensive.
The glaring truth is among a ramping up of militarism in Ukraine by the United States and its NATO partners that is directly threatening Russia. Yet, astoundingly, the truth is switched on its head by American and European politicians implicating Russia of preparing an intrusion and stiring hostility. The 2014 coup is retrospectively distorted, as Russia having actually invaded Ukraine and annexing Crimea. Now we are informed Russia is going to invade “again”.
In addition, we see the contemptible pretense of America’s top foreign envoy Antony Blinken reportedly “engaging in shuttle bus diplomacy to prevent war”.
Last week, Russia put forward clear proposals to U.S. and NATO authorities for implementing security guarantees in Europe. Those propositions consisted of a halt to eastwards expansion by the NATO bloc and the elimination of tactical American weapons from Eastern Europe. Moscow’s incomparably reasonable initiative to enhance security has been rebuffed. Ahead of his conference with Lavrov in Geneva, Blinken stated he would not be presenting a written response to Russia’s proposals. And yet the American side speak about “offering Russia a diplomatic option to dispute”. That’s tantamount to using peace down the barrel of a cocked weapon.
The truth is, Washington and its NATO allies are endangering peace in Europe. They are creating the conditions for war between nuclear powers.
There are ominous echoes of past war in Europe when Nazi Germany assembled a war machine under the negative guise of “defense”. Today, the U.S.-led NATO bloc is an assailant in Europe under the banner of “defense” against alleged Russian intrusion.
Not one American or European politician can credibly mention the basis for the excessive military accumulation and aggressiveness towards Russia. There is a crazed group-think and gaslighting that has actually taken hold of the political class in the United States and other NATO countries. The incoherence and, frankly, the insanity of their pronouncements are a risk to world peace. There is no doubt that the heightening current internal political and recessions of the Western capitalist powers are driving the reckless warmongering as a way to discover a desperate diversion from methodical failure. The coronavirus pandemic and social malaise from historical financial failure are multiplying the militarism of Western states in their policy towards Russia. There is an inability by the judgment facilities to handle political issues reasonably and democratically.
For those happy to see and think with an open mind it is apparent what is going on. Historically, the U.S. and its NATO accomplices are the political inheritors of the Western-backed Nazi program that tried to damage Russia for the sake of royal hegemony of Western capital. Washington and its Western lackeys require to avoid the normalization of relations within Europe whereby the continent’s largest country, Russia, is able to establish quietly along with European neighbors. The U.S.– the lead Western hegemonic power– should prevent this geopolitical result at all costs. In the past, Nazi Germany and fascism were used as bludgeon. Today, it is NATO expansionism in the “defense of democracy and peace”.
War, it seems, is looming and the warmongers are stumbling towards the abyss. As in times past, the common people of Europe and the United States have no interest in conflict. Abominably, catastrophe and suffering are being contemplated by cosseted elites who want to wage war to the last male, female and kid.
The mass of individuals need to resist the warmongers and indeed defeat them to discover a much better, more serene method of governing societies and international relations.
