Honored Reader,
from my point of view, a worthwhile
addition to the geo-political events of
these days.

Washington’s plan to seize Ukraine and to evict Russia
from its Black Sea naval base has come amiss.
But to turn around Lenin’s quote, “two steps forward,
one step back.” Do you remember all the tough talk coming
from John Kerry, the White House Fool, Hilary Clinton, and
the lickspittle Merkel about the harsh sanctions that would
“badly damage” the Russian economy unless Russia prevented
the referendum vote in Crimea? Well, it was all bullshit, more
hot air from the White House sock puppet and the lickspittle
German chancellor who is a disgrace to the German nation.
As the Russians kept telling John Kerry, sanctions on Russia
would destroy Europe and do little damage to Russia.
I wish the Russians had kept this to themselves. I was
looking forward to the Washington morons destroying
NATO by closing down the European economy.
Of course, after pretending that they were macho tough guys,
something that Washington’s prostitute media could hype as
sanctions had to be imposed, so Washington came up with
sanctions, not on Russia, but on eleven individuals: the
deposed Ukrainian president, an advisor to the deposed
president, 2 Crimean officials, and 7 Russians.
The choice of the officials is an utter mystery.
The seven Russians are a Putin aid, a Putin adviser,
four members of the Russian parliament (Duma) and a
deputy prime minister. What any of these people had to
do with the referendum in Crimea, no one knows.
Moreover, the sanctions only apply to foreign bank
accounts that these 11 individuals might have outside Russia.
Most likely, that means only the deposed Ukrainian president,
if we are to believe all the propaganda about him. Other
reports say that the sanctions are only for the next six months.
If the Washington and EU criminals steal any money from
these persons, the Russian central bank can replenish their
stolen accounts.
The people who decided that Crimea would disassociate
from Ukraine and return to Russia were the people themselves.
Under the wording of Obama’s stupid sanctions, his sanctions
should apply to the Crimean people who voted to disassociate
from the US stooge government in Kiev.
Additionally, Obama’s sanctions apply to himself and
to his regime and to its NATO puppets as it was the West
that overthrew the elected government of Ukraine, not
Russia or Crimea. The Americans, of course, never apply
law to themselves.
In other words, the sanctions are totally meaningless.
Yet, the White House Fool declared: “If Russia continues
to interfere in Ukraine, we stand ready to impose further
sanctions.”
Obama’s hypocrisy makes a person want to puke.
It is the White House Fool who is interfering in Ukraine.
It was Washington that financed and organized the
overthrow of the elected Ukraine government, using well
organized and well armed Neo-Nazis to intimidate the
unarmed police and ruling party, thus clearing the way
for Washington to set up an unelected government of
its well-paid stooges.
What the incompetent White House Fool overlooked is
that southern and eastern Ukraine are Russian, not
Ukrainian, so the fool’s coup has caused Crimea to depart
and is causing widespread protests in eastern Ukraine
against Washington’s stooge unelected government in Kiev.
Washington’s stooge Kiev government has appointed unelected
Ukrainian multibillionaire oligarchs, who have their own private
security forces, as mayors of the Russian cities to put down
the protests. If the oligarchs use violence against the Russian
people, the likely result will be that the Russian Army will
take control of eastern Ukraine, which in every essential
way is Russian.
If eastern Ukraine returns to Russia, Washington will
be left with the ultra-nationalists of western Ukraine,
people who fought for Hitler during World War 2. The EU
doesn’t want ultra-nationalists as the EU is busy stamping
out nationalism and the sovereignty of European countries.
Nevertheless, Washington will have gained a strategic
advantage over Moscow, as Washington can place anti-ballistic
missile and other military bases on western Ukraine’s border
with Russia, thus completing Washington’s encirclement of
Russia with hostile military and missile bases.
Russia will neutralize the US bases by targeting them
with Iskander missiles, which cannot be intercepted by ABMs.
All that the White House Fool will have achieved is to further
make clear to Russia, and to China, that Washington has both
on its target list, because both are in the way of Washington’s
world hegemony.
One can only wonder why Putin doesn’t preempt the coming
US military attack on Russia by destroying NATO economically
without firing a shot. All Putin needs to do is to cut Europe
off from energy. It would take Washington three years to
create the capability to deliver US natural gas, achieved by
fracking’s destruction of US water supplies, to Europe. By
that time NATO governments would likely have been
overthrown by mass unemployment and economic suffering.
Putin could also seize all foreign assets in Russia and rapidly
complete the arrangements with China, India, Brazil, and
South Africa to abandon the use of the US dollar in
international settlements.
The US dollar as world reserve currency is the source of
American imperialism. The five countries that comprise the
BRICS have half of the world’s population. They can conduct
their economic affairs without the dollar.
The world needs to understand that the neoconservative
US government is the Third Reich on steroids. It is a
malevolent force with no sense of justice or respect for truth,
law, or human life. Just ask the residents of Iraq, Afghanistan,
Libya, Syria, Palestine, Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Lebanon,
Honduras, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran. Even the deluded western
Ukrainians will soon catch on.
Obama himself declared that the US is “the exceptional nation.”
This is the neoconservatives version of Hitler’s declaration that
the German nation was exceptional and, therefore, above all
others. The only difference between Washington and National
Socialist Germany is that Washington has a far more powerful
police state and nuclear weapons.
The hubris and arrogance that arises from Washington’s belief
that it is the government of the “indispensable and exceptional
nation” means Washington has no respect for any other country,
nor for law whether its own or international. Washington can
invade countries without cause, a war crime. Washington can
kidnap and torture people, a crime under US and International
law. Washington can ignore the self-determination of peoples,
such as Crimeans. Who are mere Crimeans to vote on their
own future without Washington’s consent, without Washington
determining the outcome? Washington declares the Crimean
people’s self-determination “illegitimate and illegal,” and
refuses to recognize self-determination, while pretending
to be the home of “freedom and democracy.”
No government in human history can come close to
the hypocrisy and malevolence of Washington. Armed
with nuclear weapons and a military doctrine of pre-emptive
nuclear first strike, Washington alone stands as the threat to
life on earth.
