US/NATO War on Russia

[Peter Presland]

Update from The Saker
For several days I have spoken of an "escape velocity" and I think that today it was reached. To paraphrase a well-known English nursery rhyme:

The Independent Ukraine sat on a wall,
The Independent Ukraine had a great fall.
All the West's money and all the West's men
Couldn't put that Ukraine back together again

The only question now is what human price will the West and its neo-Nazi puppets in Kiev extract from the Ukrainian people before accepting the inevitable?

FWIW, I added this comment to the blog because it seems to me that everyone is being just a tad blase about the situation in the Ukraine. Russia has made persistent, statesman-like overtures, outlining the obvious fact that the only way to secure a unitary Ukrainian state is for the current coup regime to include the Eastern provinces in constitutional negotiations and has been just as persistently rebuffed. Obama made serious threats against Yanukovitch about using force against the Maidan 'protest' but refuses to issue similar injunctions against the present regime sending the army to quell similar 'protests' in the East. He's backing his men IOW and any bloodshed will be blamed squarely on Russia.

The ONLY agenda that benefits from chaos in Ukraine is the Anglo-US-NATO one and it has zero interest in reaching a reasonable accommodation with Russia except on its terms - period. So far Russia is calling what it judges to be a bluff (the poker element of the 'game'). My worry (and a non-partisan reading of the publicly available evidence from BOTH sides is persuasive) is that it is no bluff.

Many of the comments here [ie on the VotS blog] assume that the situation in Ukraine will play itself out, one way or another, to a sort of international/geo-political 'business-as-usual' carrying on much as before - much like all the other western-sponsored 'revolutions' IOW - with Russia either the notional winner or loser.

I don't agree and think things are far more serious than that; not least because of ever-worsening US/western economic prospects (they NEED war). This is looking increasingly like 'the big one' to me. By that I mean that, in the US-UK-NATO quest for global hegemony,or even just to maintain the current status-quo, the situation is being maneuvered into a big casus-belli for war with Russia. If the western MSM are any guide, western populations don't need much persuading that Russia is both aggressive and a serious threat - its in their post-cold war DNA. Absurd I know, but that's the way it is I'm afraid. This looks to be shaping up as a definitive opportunity to capitalise on that perception, with the position of Germany being analogous to both 20th century world wars - can the Germans REALLY be that stupid - do they really think they will be on the winning side again ???.

Marx said that history repeats first as tragedy and then as farce. It is to be fervently hoped that is how this plays out, but personally I fear the worst. I also think that Francis Boyle's prediction is a serious possibility, with the Russian's under-estimating a nearly-complete US first-strike capability.

My one gleam of hope is that populations generally - even to some extent in the west - are becoming ever-more aware of the locus of the real evil in this world. [URL="https://wikispooks.com/wiki/Document:Conjuring_Hitler_-_Preface"]Guido Preparata described it like so:

...there is something far worse than Nazism, and that is the hubris of the Anglo-American fraternities, whose routine is to incite indigenous monsters to war, and steer the pandemonium to further their imperial aims.

I would add 'Occult Judaic' to 'Anglo-American' in that quote, but otherwise judge it as spot-on.
