All this started with the 2014 US orchestrated Coup/regime change of the Russian friendly government the majority Russian speaking Ukrainians in the East and Crimea VOTED for, installing the Neo-Nazi anti-Russian government headed by the Man US Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland was caught on tape saying she wanted before the regime change was even accomplished, started the 7 year Civil War in Ukraine.

There are just too many SINS of OMISSION in the Historical Record propagated by US and Canadian MSM.

Monday I posted this comment in The Washington Post, "When Western governments declare it's goal and objective is to destroy the Russian Economy without using bombs, Armageddon/WWIII already started.

History proves it's much easier to start Wars than to end them. It took 20 years and $2 TRILLION for the US to extricate itself from the humiliating defeat in Afghanistan.

I expect Putin will use the 'nuclear option' in the Economic War and will turn off Nord Stream I, and all oil and gas pipelines passing through Ukraine to keep Western Europe's Economy going.

The question will be who can endure material privation and want longer? Russians who are accustomed to it, or Western Europeans who aren't, when both the Russian and European Economies crash?

The comment was posted but when I went to make another comment, The Washington Post suspended me from making any more comments for a week and that one was deleted.

What is so infuriating is what they did with that comment, is just the kind of thing US Propaganda demonize Putin for doing.

US MSM Propagandists have the same Military and Intelligence "experts" over and over again with no dissenting opinions. That's when you know it's War inciting Propaganda.

The real tragedy is all those US Military experts say Ukraine doesn't stand a chance against Russia.

President Putin has been warning since 2007, the US sphere of Influence called NATO in Europe advancing to the borders of Russia represent an Existential Threat.

Supplying weapons exposes the malevolent intention of the US to use Ukrainians as Sacrificial lambs in the US War with Russia that started at the end of WWII.

Where was the MSM outrage with the US invasion of Iraq in violation of International Law? Since WWII, the US invaded and bombed only poor, 3rd World Nations and couldn't get a win in any of them.

My focus in geopolitics is primarily economic. Michael Hudson has a very interesting take on Ukraine in an article called America Defeats Germany for the Third Time in a Century. He divides the oligarch blob, as he calls it, into the MIC (Military-Industrial Complex), the OGAM (Oil, Gas & Mining), and the FIRE sector (Finance, Insurance, Real Estate). It's too complex to summarize here but I'm going to do a YT on it tomorrow because it gives a new perspective that's very interesting. He says this will likely result in a New World Order but not the one the blob intends. Check it out: https://michael-hudson.com/2022/02/america-defeats-germany-for-the-third-time-in-a-century/

Total despair is all you can feel. A total blanket of propaganda is spread across the entire world. Any hope of human and our planets survival is diminishing by the hour. While this inanity continues, global warming and extinction beckons. Humanity is too stupid to survive.

Interesting comments from Col.Doug Macgregor on Fox and T.Carlson which may indicate the soft-war tactic and measured advance has ended and the major cities are pretty much surrounded. (It was posted on a vlog by Alex Christoforou a guy with a voice like Woody Allen in Athens. He has some great info on the War so far. It's helpful and seems balanced, you know geo-strategic stuff. I have found it strangely positive if that's the right word.

This hopefully means the tactics used in East Aleppo by the Russian army with safe corridors could bring a speedier end to this than being predicted. Things look grim in Mariopol, one guy on Greek TV saying they can't leave as the Azov patrols will kill them. I also read a comment about the tactics the Nazis are using in Ukraine follows the pattern of the Wehrmacht in the fall of Berlin. The comment read:

'Have you noticed how many Battle of Berlin style Wehrmacht tactics are being used by the Kiev regime? We’re less than a week into the war, & so far we’re already seeing:

1. Volkssturm in Kiev (granted an even more half-assed version thereof);

2. Preventing civilians from leaving the warzone (see https://greekcitytimes.com/2022/03/01/greek-in-mariupol-fascist-ukrainian/);

3. Holding festungs down to the last man (e.g. Kharkov, Mariupol, etc.);

4. Forced conscription of military aged men;

5. Strafbattalion

Please everyone keep calm. This will all be brought to a balanced conclusion soon.

The comments about Putin being an oligarch and all his many possessions--yacht, castle, etc. being criticized on US television are interesting. There is never any mention of the USA interference with Yeltsin after the demise of the USSR. How many Russian oligarchs are now safely away in America? Russians got rich thanks to the neoliberal advise of the Clinton regime.

Noticing I can no longer reach thesaker.is website. Been some good reporting on the war from there. Must be too far outside the acceptable narrative, AKA the TRUTH. I imagine MoonOfAlabama will be next to be taken out. Strategic Culture Foundation is still up but they're being heavily censored already.

Recently on Twitter, I said that the Democrats were a right-wing party after Jon Stewart disappointed me by characterizing them as part of the left. I got a lot of people mad at me.

And I said (paraphrased, because I have many, many more characters to work with here) "Hey, when I started paying attention to politics in 2003, it was all Republicans arguing that war was good and Democrats at the time were arguing against Iraq at least. So it was the *right-wing* GOP that was pro-war, and the nominally left-wing Democrats who were anti-war. Obama even ran on being anti-war, before getting elected and turning into Bush 2.0 before our eyes. So how the hell can you say it's right-wing to be pro-war back then and not right-wing to be pro-war today? These things don't change, any more than being pro-choice can be called left-wing today and right-wing two decades from now."

Well, I never thought I'd thank Sean Hannity for anything so long as I remained in my right mind, but thank you, Sean Hannity, for proving that right-wingers are still overtly pro-war. And exceptions to that rule such as Tucker Carlson (if he does harbor any pro-war sentiments, he keeps those to himself these days from what I've seen) or Ron Paul do not change that fact. It was the right-wing Bush administration who started the war on terror, and by choosing to continue Bush's wars while starting more of them, the Obama administration chose to be right-wing. The Trump and Biden administrations continued the wars and similarly chose to be right-wing.

Being a left-wing hawk is an oxymoron, just like being "progressive except for Palestine" is. If you're salivating at the prospect of your armed forces killing people because it's a Democrat doing the killing instead of a Republican, and because that makes some kind of difference in your mind, then your mind (such as it is) needs a tune-up.

An excellent bit of documentation of the non stop flood of lies presented by US-controlled media, and of just to what extent any "opposing opinion" (read "truth") is repressed, as far as the Russian effort to reasonably protect itself from short range nuclear missiles being placed by the US / NATO in Ukraine. When the Soviets did the same in Cuba, it was felt appropriate to engage in an act of war against them (the blockade of Cuba). But I guess when it's the other side, what for the US is reasonable defense is "an act of brutal invasion by a Hitler-like madman" (that being the party line of the US State Department regarding Russia's efforts to reverse a US State Department fomented coup in Ukraine).

Howeve: It is unfortunate you chose to include in this piece, however, evidence of your ignorance of science and medicine by engaging in transmission of big lie level falsehood of the same degree as the US State Department on Ukraine, regarding biological effects of radiation.

In addition to being a life long fighter for social justice, I'm a physician who has studied the biological effects of radiation on humans from all the major studies from which our knowledge of same has been acquired, including among them the 50 years and more study of the survivors of the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. EVERY SINGLE ONE of the major such studies show that below a very very high threshold dose, radiation is entirely harmless to humans. While increased risk of cancer and other disease WAS seen among the survivors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki (some of whom got staggeringly high radiation doses... around 1/6 to 1/3 the 100% lethal dose), this contributed near not at all to the massive death and injury toll either immediately or over the next 50 years of close medical study of survivors. That death toll (around 200,000 civilians incinerated) was near entirely due to heat and blast from the bombs. The facts are very clear.

Nuclear war and nuclear bombs are horrific enough without adding LIES about the non-existent dangers of radiation. And these lies (which began to be told by quack MD Helen Caldicott and junk scientist / Nobel Prize winner Herman Mueller in a deceitful effort use fear mongering lies for the "greater good" of recruiting more people to the anti-atmospheric bomb testing campaign) have had a horrific effect, resulting in the deaths of thousands to tens of thousands... and probably 10s to 100s of millions soon, due to unchecked global warming caused by the fear created about clean safe sustainable nuclear power, THE ONLY means of replacing dependence on fossil fuel.

At Fukushima hysterical fear of radiation like that you expressed here KILLED OUTRIGHT 2000 Japanese due to a 100% unwarranted hasty and prolonged evacuation of the entirely harmless (as assessed by the UN World Health Organization and other groups of the most credible medical and physical researchers publishing in Nature, one of the most respected of peer review science and medical journals) levels of radiation that leaded from the three well-contained melt downs.

In Western Europe, after the Chernobyl accident, 10,000 to 100,000 (the number depends on whose study you read, but in any case it was a BIG number) women (grossly misinformed by a deceitful, ignorant and hysterical media) aborted otherwise wanted pregnancies for fear that exposure to the "plume of radiation" blowing from Chernobyl over Western Europe would cause them to give birth to deformed or otherwise damaged babies. And this plume? It involved radiation levels lower than low background radiation... levels 10,000 and more times lower than the levels of radiation pregnant mothers at Hiroshima and Nagasaki were exposed to ... yet the incidence of harm to children born of these mothers (children and mothers were followed for 50 years, medically) was... ZERO. NOT ONE SINGLE case. The hysteria and ignorance of these European women was not their own fault... it was engendered by lies from their physicians, and lies in the media, like those you printed here regarding the non-existent dangers of radiation.

Radiation is basically very very near entirely harmless, but hysterical fear of radiation is massively deadly. There are many more examples than the two I just gave.

If you want to educate yourself, I recommend you read Wade Allison's book "Nuclear is For Life", which examines one by one the major studies on which our knowledge of radiation effects on humans is based, done over the last 100 year, in great detail. Wade is a retired particle physicist who spent years educating himself in medicine in general and epidemiology in particular in order to provide education to the public about radiation. I also advise you to read George Erickson's book "unintended consequences", which presents much of the same data, and also has information about nuclear power, and about the disastrous failure that is "renewable" power. George is a retired Alaska Bush Pilot and retired dentist, and is a life long environmentalist who is deeply concerned about the fate of the Arctic and Antarctic wilderness.

His book is available free, as a pdf file (even tho he has written other best selling books), at this link:

http://tundracub.com/UnintendedConsequences/Unintended-Consequences.pdf

Please keep exposing the wall to wall lies about the Russia Ukraine USA conflict told in the US media. But please ALSO try to educate yourself regarding radiation, and energy policy issues.

given the zionist warmongering chorus, i can only sympathize with Putin striking back and striking back as hard as he can teach the zionists a lesson that they will NEVER forget again.
