US/NATO War on Russia

[Magda Hassan]

It's not my intention here to purify Putin or Russia, but rather to show who is guilty of starting this damned war - as a prelude to a new cold war, which has now begun. You and I both were born in and lived through one cold war and one is enough.

And they started the old one also. A hot war with !3,000 US troops invaded Russia to join 40,000 British troops (and others) already there. There was a short lasting time of mutual co-operation from 1941 to 1946 and then back to hostilities. Never a moments peace to develop on their own terms.

Putin has always and openly made it clear that the Ukraine is a vital security interest of Russia - the same way, I guess, that successive US presidents have repeatedly stated that Saudi Arabia and the Gulf is a vital security interest of theirs.

Even closer to home. Think of Cuba and how important it was to US interests for there not be Soviet installations there. It almost led to WW3. Fortunately there were better men in the Whitehouse in those times. There is no discernible signs of such intelligence in the Whitehouse today. The Soviet Union stood by its agreement at that time. The US never withdrew their missiles from Turkey and now NATO thinks they can place missiles right up against Russia in former Soviet states at that.

The US permitted banking corporations and cartels to destroy the value of the dollar as a reserve currency by closing it's regulatory eyes while it was relentlessly looted several times over - beginning with the Savings & Loan fiasco and ending with the momentous bankrupting of the western banking system circa 2007/8 (and prior years leading up to that).

This system also actively undermined and collapsed the Soviet Union and there after raided and looted that country of its immense wealth impoverishing millions and plummeting the life expectancy and spreading total despair. It has not been forgotten and certainly not forgiven.

The US is a busted flush and has no ethical or moral backbone, and has gone the way all empires go... down the greed toilet.

Sooner the better we will all be better off with out it. We need to build a better model.
