The Saker, What could happen next if the USA rejects the Russian ultimatum?

The Saker  There is a lot of discussions going on about what Russia might do if the West ignores the Russian ultimatum.  All I propose to do here is just share a few thoughts with you.  This is not an thorough analysis, but only some musings of mine about what I hear. First, Putin is both very predictable and, at the same time, very unpredictable.  The predictable thing about Putin is that he only uses force when there is no other option left.  The very unpredictable thing about Putin is…

The Saker, Russian Options in a World Headed for War

The Saker The world is headed for war and has been headed that way for quite a while now.  Several times, just at the brink, the West decided to pull back, but each time it did that its ruling elites felt two things: first, the felt even more hatred for Russia for forcing them to back down and, second, they interpreted the fact that no shooting war happened (yet) as the evidence, at least in their minds, that standing on the brink of war is a pretty safe exercise.  And…

Sylvain LaForest, Everything You Need to Know about Trump (but Were Afraid to Admit You Wondered)

Sylvain LaForest The timing is right for everyone to understand what Donald Trump is doing, and try to decrypt the ambiguity of how he is is doing it. The controversial President has a much clearer agenda than anyone can imagine on both foreign policy and internal affairs, but since he has to stay in power or even stay alive to achieve his objectives, his strategy is so refined and subtle that next to no one can see it. His overall objective is so ambitious that he has to follow random…

‘NATO Has Outlived Its Usefulness & Should Go Into Dustbin of History’ – Scholar

SputnikNews On Monday, The New York Times cited unnamed senior administration officials as saying that US President Donald Trump has ostensibly questioned US membership in NATO and expressed a wish to withdraw the country from the bloc. Radio Sputnik has discussed the report with James Fetzer, Professor Emeritus, University of Minnesota. Sputnik: What are your thoughts on the report that US President Trump repeatedly expressed his wish to withdraw the country from NATO? James Fetzer: Well, Trump as a businessman has approached this from the point of view of finances and of course until very recently only four other members of NATO paid…

Patrick Armstrong, Psychoanalysing NATO: The Diagnosis

Patrick Armstrong via The Strategic Culture Foundation In previous essays I argued that NATO tries to distract our attention from its crimes by accusing Russia of those crimes: this is “projection“. NATO manipulates its audience into thinking the unreal is real: this is “gaslighting“. NATO sees what it expects to see – Moscow’s statements that they will respond to medium range missiles emplaced next door are re-jigged as the “threats” which justify NATO’s earlier act: this is “confirmation bias“.And, finally, NATO thinks Russia is so weak it’s doomed and so strong that it is…

OPERATION GLADIO C: Government-Sponsored Domestic Terrorism Targets American Public Schools

How the CIA’s MKUltra Mind Control Program Creates ‘Mass Shooters’ and Turns ‘Lone Gunmen’ Into Patsies State of the Nation OPERATION GLADIO C “The United States has been under the complete control of the “Very Deep State” (much deeper than Deep State) for decades. The “Very Deep State” (VDS) uses the alphabet soup agencies of the U.S. Intelligence Community to monitor and police every sphere of life in American society.  Just like the Soviet Union of the last century, there are no secrets.  Only now there really are NO secrets anywhere…

Robert Steele: While Moscow Talks About Treaties, the Deep State is Starting World War III – Now – This Month!

Robert David STEELE Vivas While Moscow Talks About Treaties, the Deep State is Starting World War III – Now – This Month! As published in Russian International Affairs Council blog, 9 November 2018. I make it a point to check the Russian International Affairs Council pages regularly, and I was not disappointed when I found President Igor Ivanov’s article, “Road to Nowhere,” as published also in The Moscow Times.[1] Everything stated in this article is in my view correct. HOWEVER, there is nothing in this article about the possibilities, in…
