Moving Closer To War - Paul Craig Roberts

Honored Readers,

There are not too many to be contrary to the Mass Media, 

carry the flag, and with all their available strength confront 

the “system” wherever and how they may be able to do so. 

Dr. Paul Craig Roberts, born in 1939, is one of those human 
Beings.

Awareness and knowledge are truly needed, 

and this publication conforms to that need.
With heart-felt Greetings and with Love

Moving Closer To War

written by Paul Craig Roberts 
April 26, 2014

The Obama regime, wallowing in hubris and arrogance, 

has recklessly escalated the Ukrainian crisis into a crisis 

with Russia. Whether intentionally or stupidly, Washington’s 

propagandistic lies are driving the crisis to war. 

Unwilling to listen to any more of Washington’s senseless 
threats, Moscow no longer accepts telephone calls from 
Obama and US top officials.

The crisis in Ukraine originated with Washington’s 

overthrow of the elected democratic government and 

its replacement with Washington’s hand-chosen stooges. 

The stooges proceeded to act in word and deed against the 

populations in the former Russian territories that Soviet 

Communist Party leaders had attached to Ukraine.

The consequence of this foolish policy is agitation on the part 

of the Russian speaking populations to return to Russia. 

Crimea has already rejoined Russia, and eastern Ukraine 

and other parts of southern Ukraine are likely to follow.

Instead of realizing its mistake, the Obama regime has 

encouraged the stooges Washington installed in Kiev to 

use violence against those in the Russian-speaking areas 

who are agitating for referendums so that they can vote 

their return to Russia. The Obama regime has encouraged 

violence despite President Putin’s clear statement that the 

Russian military will not occupy Ukraine unless violence is 

used against the protesters.

We can safely conclude that Washington either does 

not listen when spoken to or Washington desires violence.

As Washington and NATO are not positioned at this time to 

move significant military forces into Ukraine with which to 

confront the Russian military, why is the Obama regime 

trying to provoke action by the Russian military? A possible 

answer is that Washington’s plan to evict Russia from its 

Black Sea naval base having gone awry, Washington’s fallback 

plan is to sacrifice Ukraine to a Russian invasion so that 

Washington can demonize Russia and force a large increase 

in NATO military spending and deployments.

In other words, the fallback prize is a new cold war and trillions 

of dollars more in profits for Washington’s military/security complex.

The handful of troops and aircraft that Washington has sent 

to “reassure” the incompetent regimes in those perennial trouble 

spots for the West–Poland and the Baltics–and the several missile 

ships sent to the Black Sea amount to nothing but symbolic 

provocations.

Economic sanctions applied to individual Russian officials 

signal nothing but Washington’s impotence. Real sanctions 

would harm Washington’s NATO puppet states far more 

than the sanctions would hurt Russia.

It is clear that Washington has no intention of working 

anything out with the Russian government. 

Washington’s demands make this conclusion unavoidable. 

Washington is demanding that the Russian government pull 

the rug out from under the protesting populations in eastern 

and southern Ukraine and force the Russian populations in Ukraine

to submit to Washington’s stooges in Kiev. Washington also 

demands that Russia renege on the reunification with Crimea

and hand Crimea over to Washington so that the original plan 

of evicting Russia from its Black Sea
naval base can go forward.

In other words, Washington’s demand is that Russia put 

Humpty Dumpty back together again and hand him over to 

Washington.

This demand is so unrealistic that it surpasses the meaning 

of arrogance. The White House Fool is telling Putin: 

“I screwed up my takeover of your backyard. I want you 

to fix the situation for me and to ensure the success of 

the strategic threat I intended to bring to your backyard.”

The presstitute Western media and Washington’s European 

puppet states are supporting this unrealistic demand. 

Consequently, Russian leaders have lost 
all confidence in the word and intentions 
of the West, and this is how wars start.

European politicians are putting their countries at great peril 

and for what gain? Are Europe’s politicians blackmailed, 

threatened, paid off with bags of money, or are they so 

accustomed to following Washington’s lead that they are 

unable to do anything else? How do Germany, UK, and France 

benefit from being forced into a confrontation with Russia by 

Washington?

Washington’s arrogance is unprecedented and is capable 

of driving the world to destruction. Where is Europe’s sense 

of self-preservation? Why hasn’t Europe issued arrest warrants 

for every member of the Obama regime? Without the cover 

provided by Europe and the presstitute media, Washington 

would not be able to drive the world to war.
