pcr's title for this essay is spot on and i'm wondering how long till the empire, 'our' government starts a new war for no reason beyond profit for banks and weapons manufacturers. pcr has two essays on the subject today and i've pasted the second just below in its entirety as it compliments the original post at the bottom;
Wild Accusations Against Russia Are Proof Security Talks Failed
Paul Craig Roberts
Washington and its British puppet accuse Russia of plotting to install a pro-Russian leader in Ukraine. This, of course, is precisely what Washington did in 2014. Washington overthrew the elected government in the orchestrated Maidan Coup and installed a Washington puppet, establishing an unfriendly government on Russia’s border.
Not only are the US and UK pots calling the kettle black, they are nonsensical. It makes sense for Russia to have friendly governments on her borders, just as it makes sense for Washington to have friendly governments in Canada and Mexico. We don’t hear Russia complaining about friendly governments on America’s borders.
The Insanity of the West Accelerates
Paul Craig Roberts
The New York Times reports that Biden is going to forestall Russian aggression against Ukraine by deploying between 1,000 and 5,000 US troops on Russia’s border and is prepared to increase the number of troops tenfold to 10,000 to 50,000 soldiers. A Russian army would eat this small number for a snack in 5 minutes. Clearly the purpose of the deployment is not military. The purpose is to heighten the “Russian threat” in the minds of the people in advance of a false flag event that will be blamed on the Kremlin.
If Biden wants to deter Russia all he needs to do is to give Russia the security guarantee she says she needs. Why does Biden want Russia to be insecure?
The cause of the problem is obvious. In 2014 the US in an attempt to deprive Russia of her Black Sea naval base overthrew a Russian-friendly and democratically elected Ukrainian government and installed a neo-Nazi regime that began war against the Russian inhabitants of the Donbass region of Eastern Ukraine, formerly parts of Russia that had been transferred during the Soviet era into the the Soviet Union’s Ukrainian province.
To stabilize the situation, Russia hammered out the Minsk Agreement but neither Ukraine nor the Western signatories kept the agreement.
Russia does not want the broke and troublesome Ukraine. Russia just wants Ukraine not to become a place for US missile bases.
It is a simple demand easy to accept in the interest of peace...........read more.........
