Washington, enabled by its compliant but stupid NATO puppets, is pushing the Ukrainian situation closer to war.
In what is clearly a fruitless and pointless effort to get Crimea back, Washington is demanding that Russia interfere in Crimea and prevent Crimea from seceding from Ukraine. If the Russian government refuses to follow Washington’s orders, Washington has announced that it will inflict “damaging sanctions” on Russia. Initially, EU countries expressed an unwillingness to go along with Washington, but with bribes and threats, Washington has conquered Merkel and has its European puppets lined up following orders.
Pushing the Ukraine Crisis Closer to War: Germany’s Chancellor Merkel, An Instrument of Washington
German
Chancellor Merkel has failed her country, Europe, and world piece.
Germany is the strength of the EU and NATO. Had Merkel said “No” to
sanctions on Russia, that would have been the end of the crisis that
Washington is brewing, a crisis unlikely to be ended short of war.
But
Merkel has signed away the sovereignty of the German nation and
assigned the fate of Germany to a province in the American Empire. Thus
has Merkel and the weak
German leadership consigned the world to war. Already blamed for World
War 1 and World War 2, now Germany will be blamed for World War 3.
Washington’s
mismanaged Ukrainian coup has cost Washington Crimea, which Washington
wanted most of all in order to deprive Russia of its warm water naval
base on the Black Sea. In addition, the mismanaged overthrow of an
elected government in Ukraine is threatening to also lose the Russian
cities of eastern Ukraine. Like Crimea, eastern Ukraine consists of
former Russian areas that Khrushchev stuck into Ukraine in the 1950s.
In what is clearly a fruitless and pointless effort to get Crimea back, Washington is demanding that Russia interfere in Crimea and prevent Crimea from seceding from Ukraine. If the Russian government refuses to follow Washington’s orders, Washington has announced that it will inflict “damaging sanctions” on Russia. Initially, EU countries expressed an unwillingness to go along with Washington, but with bribes and threats, Washington has conquered Merkel and has its European puppets lined up following orders.
Washington
understands that economic sanctions are a far less threat to Russia
than the loss of its Black Sea naval base. Washington also understands
that Putin cannot possibly abandon the millions of Russians in eastern
and southern Ukraine to the mercy of the anti-Russian and unelected
government imposed by Washington in Kiev. As Washington knows that its
threat of sanctions is empty, why did Washington make it?
The
answer is in order to drive the crisis to war. Washington’s
neoconservative nazis have been agitating for war with Russia for a long
time. They want to remover one of the three remaining restraints
(Russia, China, Iran) on Washington’s world hegemony.
Washington
wants to break up the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South
Africa) before these countries form a separate currency bloc and avoid
the use of the US dollar.
Russia
will respond in kind to Washington’s sanctions. European peoples and
Western banks and corporations will suffer losses. It would be at least
two or three years before Washington has in place means of delivering
US natural gas achieved by fracking and contamination of US water
supplies to Europe to take the place of Russia’s cutoff of energy to
Europe.
The
Western presstitute media will dramatize the Russian response to
sanctions and demonize Russia, while ignoring who started the fight,
thereby helping Washington prepare Americans for war. As neither side
can afford to lose the war, nuclear weapons will be used. There will be
no winners.
All
of this is perfectly clear, just as was the obvious conclusion of the
march of events leading up to World War 1. Now, like then, the people
who see the outcome are powerless to stop it. Delusion rules.
Arrogance and hubris overflow. Statements and actions become ever more
reckless, and then there is hell to pay.
Americans
and Europeans, if they had any awareness at all, would be in the
streets violently protesting the coming war toward which the insane
criminals in Washington are driving the world.
Instead,
the German chancellor, the French president, the British prime minister
and the Western presstitute media continue to lie: It was legitimate
for the West to steal Kosovo from Serbia and to steal the Ukrainian
government, but it is not legitimate for the Russian population of
Crimea to exercise self-determination and return to Russia. Washington
and its EU puppets even have the audacity to declare falsely, after
overthrowing an elected government in Ukraine and installing an
unelected one, that Crimean self-determination violates the Ukrainian
constitution, which no longer exists because Washington destroyed it.
The criminally insane government in Washington has pushed the Russian bear into a corner. The bear is not going to surrender.
