US/NATO War on Russia

[Albert Doyle]

To be fair, Russia is doing exactly what the USA would do in parallel circumstances....not that I like either side doing such things. Its a geopolitical mess, and not as it appears on the surface. The deeper political aspects are lost on most, though much of it can be found on our Forum (and a few other places). It is no secret that some in the 'West' and USA have long sought to destroy and 'tame' for their own purposes Russia and China - something I believe is now impossible [not to mention not desirable nor fair nor legal]. Such apparently small and far-away 'things' have started other wars....the next global war will be the last. Insane megalomaniacs and power/money-hungry persons are in charge of all of the major powers. Life hangs by a thread on this Planet for a host of reasons - not the least of which that the will of the World's People is not empowered, but they are subject to the will of a few who care only about themselves and their tinpot empires. Time for a total paradigm shift. While one can assign blame to one party or another in each 'event', all sides, all major powers are corrupt, undemocratic, autocratic, and insane, IMHO.

If you want to see a pure example of continuously-sustained hypocrisy turn on the US media and watch it. I've never seen a worse example of unflinching hypocrisy. Sanctimonious quotes of sovereignty violation and aggression all right in the face of the Bush administration only 10 years ago, not to mention CIA's intervention in Central and South America and overthrow of democratically-elected governments by sneering right-wingers who bragged about it. American Exceptionalism has just grown into a new uglier form. Even Viet Nam. Wasn't that perpetrated by a Gulf Of Tonkin war crime followed by the massive invasion of a sovereign country after CIA murdered our ally Diem? (Not to mention Kennedy)

Yesterday Republican Senator Bob Corker from Tennessee was on CNN complaining about Putin. I wish you could have heard him tell the CNN presenter "We now have new means to target these people without telling them they are being targeted or having to account for it". The fascist slipped and showed his true face. Especially scary when spoken with a southern twang. Senator Corker forgets he is citing new laws that were put in place by war criminals and torturers and that those new methods contravene what he is pretending to uphold. CNN has no problem criticizing Putin as an "autocratic leader" while serving this permanent State Department/CIA government as a direct propaganda arm posing as free press.

Today Kerry protested ending with the precious line that Putin had "Contrived an obvious pretext" for the invasion of the Ukraine. Those words are especially precious coming from Constitution betrayers, war criminals, and torturers. I agree with Peter about two wrongs not making a right, however the sheer hypocrisy can't go unmentioned. Putin is smart he's basically not feeding the international troll and he's ignoring these hypocritical protests from governments who know they not only would have done the exact same thing but have. America has been pretty good at attacking small defenseless countries of late but now has a real contender to deal with. I hope people are smart enough to see that the true context of this is America is now dealing with the dogs it itself unleashed with their fascist Vice President Dick Chaney and his call for irrelevancy for the same international law these rogue hypocrites have the nerve to cite. The facial expression of some of those reporters is "I know I'm doing wrong and this is a whopper but I don't want to lose my job". ...Freedom...
