Does Russia (And Humanity) Have A Future? — Paul Craig Roberts
Does Russia (And Humanity) Have A Future?
Europe is complicit in its own demise
Europe is complicit in its own demise
Paul Craig Roberts
The Russian
government has finally realized that it has no Western “partners,” and is
complaining bitterly about the propagandistic lies and disinformation issued
without any evidence whatsoever against the Russian government by Washington,
its European vassals, and presstitute media.
Perhaps the Russian
government thought that only Iraq, Libya, Syria, China, and Edward Snowden
would be subjected to Washington’s lies and demonization.
It was obvious
enough that Russia would be next.
The Russian
government and Europe need to look beyond Washington’s propaganda, because the
reality is much worst.
NATO commander
General Breedlove and Senate Bill 2277 clearly indicate that Washington is
organizing itself and Europe for war against Russia (see my previously posted
column).
Europe is reluctant
to agree with Washington to put Ukraine in NATO. Europeans understand that if
Washington or its stooges in Kiev cause a war with Russia Europe will be the
first casualty. Washington finds its vassals’ noncompliance tiresome. Remember
Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland’s “fuck the EU.” And that is just
what Washington is about [TRY] to do.
The US Senate’s Russian
Aggression Prevention Act [SIC], about which I reported in my previous column,
does even more mischief than I reported. If the bill passes, which it likely
will, Washington becomes empowered to bypass NATO and to grant the status of
“allied nation” to Ukraine independently of NATO membership. By so doing,
Washington can send troops to Ukraine and thereby commit NATO to a war with
Russia.
Notice how quickly
Washington escalated the orchestrated Ukrainian “crisis” without any evidence
into “Russian aggression.” Overnight we have the NATO commander and US senators
taking actions against “Russian aggression” of which no one has seen any
evidence.
With Iraq, Libya,
and Syria, Washington learned that Washington could act on the basis of
bald-faced lies. No one, not Great Britain, not France, not Germany, not Italy,
not the Netherlands, not Canada, not Australia, not Mexico, not New Zealand,
not Israel, nor Japan, nor S. Korea, nor Taiwan, nor (substitute your
selection) stepped forward to hold Washington accountable for its blatant lies
and war crimes. The UN even accepted the package of blatant and obviously
transparent lies that Colin Powell delivered to the UN. Everything Powell said
had already been refuted by the UN’s own weapons inspectors. Yet the UN pussies
gave the go-ahead for a devastating war. [Demanded by The City’s Moneychangers]
The only conclusion
is that all the whores were paid off. The whores can always count on Washington
paying them off. For money the whores are selling out civilization to
Washington’s war, which likely will be nuclear and terminate life on Earth. The
whores’ money will incinerate with them.
It is hardly
surprising that Washington now targets Russia. The world has given Washington carte blanche to do as
it pleases. We have now had three administrations of US war criminals welcomed
and honored wherever the war criminals go. The other governments in the world
continue to desire invitations to the White House as indications of their
worth. To be received by war criminals has become the highest honor.
Even the president
of China comes to Washington to receive acceptance by the Evil Empire.
The world did not
notice Washington’s war crimes against Serbia and didn’t puke when Washington
then put the Serbian president, who had tried to prevent his country from being
torn apart by Washington, on trial as a war criminal.
The world has made
no effort to hold Washington responsible for its destruction of Iraq,
Afghanistan, Libya, and now Syria and Gaza. The world has not demanded that Washington
stop murdering people in Pakistan and Yemen, countries with which Washington is
not at war. The world looks the other way as Washington creates the US Africa
Command. The world looks the other way as Washington sends deadly weapons to
Israel with which to murder women and children in the Gaza Ghetto. Washington
passes Senate and House Resolutions cheering on the Israeli murder of
Palestinians.
Washington is
accustomed to its free pass, granted by the world, to murder and to lie, and
now is using it against Russia.
Russian President
Putin’s bet that by responding to Washington’s aggression in Ukraine in a
unprovocative and reasonable manner would demonstrate to Europe that Russia was
not the source of the problem has not paid off. European countries are captive
nations. They are incapable of thinking and acting for themselves. They bend to
Washington’s will. Essentially, Europe is a nonentity that follows Washington’s
orders.
If the Russian
government hopes to prevent war with Washington, which is likely to be the
final war for life on Earth, the Russian government needs to act now and end
the problem in Ukraine by accepting the separatist provinces’ request to be
reunited with Russia. Once S. 2277 passes, Russia cannot retrieve the situation
without confronting militarily the US, because Ukraine will have been declared
an American ally.
Putin’s bet was
reasonable and responsible, but Europe has failed him. If Putin does not use
Russian power to bring an end to the problem with which Washington has presented
him in Ukraine while he still can, Washington’s next step will be to unleash
its hundreds of NGOs inside Russia to denounce Putin as a traitor for
abandoning the Russian populations in the former Russian provinces that Soviet
leaders thoughtlessly attached to Ukraine.
The problem with
being a leader is that you inherit festering problems left by previous leaders.
Putin has the problems bequeathed by Yeltsin. Yeltsin was a disaster for
Russia. Yeltsin was Washington’s puppet. It is not certain that Russia will
survive Yeltsin’s mistakes.
If Washington has
its way, Russia will survive only as an American puppet state.
In a previous column
I described the article in Foreign Affairs, the journal of the Washington
foreign policy community, that makes a case that the US has such strategic
advantage over Russia at this time that a “window of opportunity” exists for
the US to remove Russia as a restraint on US hegemony with a preemptive nuclear
attack.
It is almost certain
that Obama is being told that President John F. Kennedy had this window of
opportunity and did not use it, and that Obama must not let the opportunity
pass a second time.
As Stephen Starr
explained in a guest column, there are no winners of nuclear war. Even if the
US escapes retaliatory strikes, everyone will die regardless.
The view in
Washington of the neoconservatives, who control the Obama regime, is that
nuclear war is winnable. No expert opinion supports their assumption, but the
neocons, not the experts, are in power.
The American people
are out to lunch. They have no comprehension of their likely fate. Americans
are an uninformed people distracted by their mounting personal and financial
problems. If Europeans are aware, they have decided to live for the moment on
Washington’s money.
What life is faced
with is a drive for hegemony on the part of Washington and ignorant unconcern
on the part of the rest of the world.
Americans, worked
into a lather about Washington’s unfunded liabilities and the viability of
their future Social Security pension, won’t be alive to collect it.
