World War III Just Started Without You
The date usually given for the start of World War II is September 1st 1939. At that time it was just another local war, in a small corner of the world that would be resolved with some minor border revisions. Nobody foresaw that a six-year spasm of violence would evolve into a terrifying science fiction scenario culminated with Hiroshima and Nagasaki obliterated by atomic bombs. Just like today, the people involved didn't understand the consequences of their actions. They thought they did and that's the problem with high-stakes geo-political gamesmanship. Now the situation has recurred. The United States has declared war on Russia with sanctions and all-out economic warfare. World War III has begun and it's not going to end well or anytime soon. But, like in 1939, very few people see it that way. World War III is a difficult pill for most Americans to swallow. They just want a good burger and shake at the drive-in. But most Americans are ok with sanctions. They don't know that sanctions are acts of war. They cause casualties. When grandma dies out in Yekaterinburg from some starvation-related illness, she got killed in the war. In a few weeks America will probably begin another bombing campaign. It will take people's minds off inflation and the collapse of the southern border. As long as the supply chain isn't too badly interrupted, Americans will be ok with it. While the war might prompt a few shortages and postpone that trip to Disneyland, attitudes won't change. Since bombing Iraq in 1991, there have been 72 American military interventions all around the planet (with 100,000 bombings, mostly with drones). Who cares? Like Oceania, America is perpetually at war.
At just this moment it was announced that Oceania was not after all at war with Eurasia. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Eurasia was an ally. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia. 1984
American wars are forever presented as good vs. evil. President Putin is the latest evil dictator that needs a good old-fashioned American butt-whupping. Just ask Sean Penn and Bette Midler. Even highly intelligent Americans think the Ukraine war is only the result of one man's personal malevolent agenda. But the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had to be in accord with the decision to war with Ukraine. Russian foreign policy now under Putin is the same as under Stalin (1924-53) that was the same as Tsarist foreign policy (1650-1917) before him. Russia wants buffer states on the border. This provides protection from attack and hence the importance of Mongolia and Korea in the east. The states that border Russia to the west (Ukraine, Poland, Baltic States and Finland) are historically called borderlands in Russian. When Vladimir Putin says that Ukraine is not a sovereign nation he does not mean they don't have a right to independence and self determination; only that Ukraine does not exist as a separate and self-sufficient military power. It never was and never will be; unless consumed by a foreign power. This was the threat the Russian government reacted to when they made the decision to invade Ukraine. American NeoCon Robert Kagan (Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland's husband) admits NATO pushed Russia into war; "The Price of Hegemony" in Foreign Affairs last week (May/June 2022):
So, while Russia's invasion may indeed have been a foreseeable consequence of a decision to expand our hegemonic reach, now that we're here, there's only one option left: Total commitment.
Kagan is one of those career intellects who speak for the faction within the American ruling elite that seek a permanent war economy and global hegemony. (Chris Hedges "The Pimps of War.")
These are some of the people calling the shots for a President obviously suffering from dementia trotted out to occasionally and mindlessly read from a teleprompter. Who is actually in charge over there? Nobody seems to know and nobody wants to say for sure. Whatever the truth is, it's too frightening to publicly admit. Now NATO wants to expand into Finland, a nation that shares an 850-mile border with Russia. The Finnish Prime Minister and her government are primarily concerned with post-modern feminism and climate change. They apparently don't understand the reasons for the Ukraine war. They cannot grasp that Finnish membership in NATO will result in irrevocable climate change for Finland. The Russian Federation will never allow Finland to join an enemy military alliance. It doesn't matter who the Russian President is. The day Finland joins NATO is the day Helsinki will be flattened. The Russians won't need nuclear weapons to do this. Massive conventional weapons that have the explosive power of tactical nuclear bombs will wreak havoc. That's just the way it is, and will be, if Finland allows NATO to have its way. Russia will make clear to the Finns what is in store for them and give civilians time to flee. Somebody somewhere needs to inform Finland's feminist government what kind of game they are playing. They need to understand that the rules have changed. The invasion of Ukraine signaled Russia's new relationship with the West. They tried accommodation and applied for NATO membeship. It was rejected. Now NATO and the United States are now at war with them and want "regime change." NATO needs collaborators in positions of power and there are some in Russia. NATO already has governing traitors in compliant states like Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Japan, France, Italy and Finland. They freely acquiesce to NATO's plans for world dominion to the detriment of their own people's interests. Now Poland wants to send "peacekeepers" into Ukraine. Poland doesn't care about peace in Ukraine. They only want to carve up the Ukrainian cadaver and reconquer lands they regard as "historically" theirs (Lvov or Lviv depending on whom you talk to). At the same time Hungary eyes the very juicy Transcarpathian Ruthenia that was also theirs "historically." The wolves are waiting, This of course might come as a surprise to anyone paying attention; which most Americans aren't.
Nothing comes with a guarantee. I don't care if you're the Pope of Rome, President of the United States, or even Man of the Year--something can always go wrong~Loren Visser
NATO can't win a war against Russia in Europe. They know this. They don't care as long as ruling European technocrats are willing to violently depopulate their own nations as they apparently are. America has made it clear that they are willing to fight in the Ukraine until the last Ukrainian is dead. This has already strengthened the American dollar. America can now concentrate on the war it can win: the ongoing war against its own people. Since there are Russian spies and Putin apologists everywhere a national digital ID will be mandatory as well as a new digital currency and social credit system. Compulsory vaccines and boosters will keep us safe. There will be food shortages and food riots, possibly as soon as this Fall. That will be Putin's fault. As chaos reigns, only gun confiscations will restore order. Naturally there cannot be elections under such duress. Maybe when the war is over things will return to normal. Until then stay in your homes and indoor masking is required. If your friends think this can't happen, just have them look back over the past two years, if can they still remember it.
