pcr believes that reality rules everytime;

Reality Rules Whether of Not It Is Acknowledged

Paul Craig Roberts

In the past few days I have listen to John Helmer say on Nima’s show that President Trump’s latest irresponsible outburst signals Putin that Russia is facing war.  Scott Ritter also on Nima’s show said the same.  I share the concern.

My position since the “Maidan Revolution” in Kiev in 2014, that is, since Washington’s overthrow of the democratically elected Ukrainian government and installed  a Russiaphobic puppet, has been that Putin’s unwillingness to deal decisively with the situation, first by permitting the overthrow, second by refusing the Donbas Russians’ 2014 request to be reincorporated into Russia like Crimea, and third by foolishly trusting to the Minsk Agreement and giving Washington and NATO eight years to build a Ukrainian army, guaranteed a conflict that would widen into a catastrophic event.

Hemer and Ritter say that is what we now face with Trump’s latest recklessness being the icing on the cake that Putin’s toleration of endless provocations has baked.

Here is the URL to the 32 minute interview Nima has with Ritter:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RZ9mSvdPqR4 

Scott Ridder is worth listening to.  Ridder was the chief arms inspector sent to Iraq to confirm that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction justifying Washington’s invasion.  But Ritter was too honest for the job and reported back that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.  ........more.........
