What will Washington do? Confronted with two powerful nuclear forces, will the crazed neocons back off? Or will their confidence in their ideology bring us the final war?
This is a real question. The US government pays Internet trolls to ridicule such questions and their authors. To see the people who sell out humanity for money, all you have to do is to read the comments on the numerous websites that reproduce this column.
Nevertheless, the question remains, unanswered by the Western presstitute media and unanswered by the bought-and-paid-for stooges in the US Congress and all Western "democracies."
Indications are that Russia has had enough of American arrogance. The Russian people have elevated a leader as they always do, and which Western countries seldom, if ever, do. The West has triumphed by technology, not by leadership. But Vladimir Putin is Russia's choice of a leader, and he is one. Russia also has the technology and a sense of itself that no longer exists in the diversified West.
There is nothing like Putin anywhere in the West, over which presides a collection of bought-and-paid-for-puppets who report to private interest groups, such as Wall Street, the military-industrial complex, the Israel Lobby, agribusiness, and the extractive industries (energy, mining, timber).
At the 70th Anniversary of the United Nations (September 28), Putin, backed by the President of China, announced that half of the world no longer accepts American unilateralism. Additionally, Putin said that Russia can no longer tolerate the state of affairs in the world that results from Washington's pursuit of hegemony.
Two days later Putin took over the fight against ISIS in Syria.
Putin, still relying on agreements with Washington, relied on the agreement that Russia would announce beforehand its attacks on ISIS installations in order to prevent any NATO-Russian air encounters. Washington took advantage of this trust placed in Washington by Russia, and arranged for a Turkish jet fighter to ambush an unsuspecting Russian fighter-bomber.
This was an act of war, committed by Washington and Turkey, and thereby Washington's European NATO vassal states against a nuclear power capable of exterminating all life in every one of the countries, including the "superpower US."
This simple fact should make even the American super-patriots, who wear the flag on their sleeve, wonder about the trust they place in "their" government and in Fox "news," CNN, NPR, and the rest of the presstitutes who continually lie every minute of every broadcast.
But it won't. Americans and Europeans are too insouciant. They are locked tightly in The Matrix, where the impotent creatures are content to live without understanding reality.
Realizing that it is pointless to attempt to communicate to the Western sheeple, who have no input into their government's policy, Putin now sends his message directly to Washington.
Putin's message is loud and clear in his order directed against any US/NATO operations against Russia in its Syrian operations against ISIS:
"Any targets threatening the Russian groups of forces or land infrastructure must be immediately destroyed."
Putin followed up this order with another order to the Russian Defense Ministry Board:
"Special attention must be paid to strengthening the combat potential of the strategic nuclear forces and implementing defense space programs. It is necessary, as outlined in our plans, to equip all components of the nuclear triad with new arms."
