Washington is Leading the U.S. and its Vassal
States to Total Destruction
Sauron
Rules in Washington

to Americans for far too bloody long.”

- A reader asked why neoconservatives push
toward nuclear war when there can be no winners.
If all die, what is the point?
The
answer is that the neoconservatives believe that
the US can win at minimum and perhaps zero
damage.
Their
insane plan is as follows: Washington will ring
Russia and China with anti-ballistic missile
bases in order to provide a shield against a
retaliatory strike from Russia and China.
Moreover, these US anti-ABM bases also can
deploy nuclear attack missiles unknown to Russia
and China, thus reducing the warning time to
five minutes, leaving Washington’s victims
little or no time in which to make a decision.
The
neoconservatives think that Washington’s first
strike will so badly damage the Russian and
Chinese retaliatory capabilities that both
governments will surrender rather than launch a
response. The Russian and Chinese leaderships
would conclude that their diminished forces
leave little chance that many of their ICBMs
will be able to get past Washington’s ABM
shield, leaving the US largely intact. A feeble
retaliation by Russia and China would simply
invite a second wave US nuclear attack that
would obliterate Russian and Chinese cities,
killing millions and leaving both countries in
ruins.
In
short, the American warmongers are betting that
the Russian and Chinese leaderships would submit
rather than risk total destruction.
There
is no question that neoconservatives are
sufficiently evil to launch a preemptive nuclear
attack, but possibly the plan aims to put Russia
and China into a situation in which their
leaders conclude that the deck is stacked
against them and, therefore, they must accept
Washington’s hegemony.
To feel
secure in its hegemony, Washington would have to
order Russia and China to disarm.
This
plan is full of risks. Miscalculations are a
feature of war. It is reckless and irresponsible
to risk the life of the planet for nothing more
than Washington’s hegemony.
The
neoconservative plan puts Europe, the UK, Japan,
S. Korea, and Australia at high risk were Russia
and China to retaliate. Washington’s ABM shield
cannot protect Europe from Russia’s nuclear
cruise missiles or from the Russian Air Force,
so Europe would cease to exist. China’s response
would hit Japan, S. Korea, and Australia.
The
Russian hope and that of all sane people is that
Washington’s vassals will understand that it is
they that are at risk, a risk from which they
have nothing to gain and everything to lose,
repudiate their vassalage to Washington and
remove the US bases. It must be clear to
European politicians that they are being dragged
into conflict with Russia. This week the NATO
commander told the US Congress that he needed
funding for a larger military presence in Europe
in order to counter “a resurgent Russia.”

Let us
examine what is meant by “a resurgent Russia.”
It means a Russia that is strong and confident
enough to defend its interests and those of its
allies. In other words, Russia was able to block
Obama’s planned invasion of Syria and bombing of
Iran and to enable the Syrian armed forces to
defeat the ISIS force sent by Obama and Hillary
to overthrow Assad.
Russia
is “resurgent” because Russia is able to block
US unilateral actions against some other
countries.
This
capability flies in the face of the
neoconservative Wolfowitz doctrine, which says
that the principal goal of US foreign policy is
to prevent the rise of any country that can
serve as a check on Washington’s unilateral
action.
While
the neocons were absorbed in their “cakewalk”
wars that have now lasted 16 years, Russia and
China emerged as checks on the unilateralism
that Washington had enjoyed since the collapse
of the Soviet Union. What Washington is trying
to do is to recapture its ability to act
worldwide without any constraint from any other
country. This requires Russia and China to stand
down.
Are
Russia and China going to stand down? It is
possible, but I would not bet the life of the
planet on it. Both governments have a moral
conscience that is totally missing in
Washington. Neither government is intimidated by
the Western propaganda. Russian Foreign Minister
Lavrov said yesterday that we hear endless
hysterical charges against Russia, but the
charges are always vacant of any evidence.

Conceivably, Russia and China could sacrifice
their sovereignty for the sake of life on earth.
But this same moral conscience will propel them
to oppose the evil that is Washington in order
not to succumb to evil themselves. Therefore, I
think that the evil that rules in Washington is
leading the United States and its vassal states
to total destruction.

Having convinced the Russian and Chinese
leaderships that Washington intends to nuke
their countries in a surprise attack (see, for
example,
http://www.fort-russ.com/2017/04/us-forces-preparing-sudden-nuclear.html
), the question is how do Russia and China
respond? Do they sit there and await an attack,
or do they preempt Washington’s attack with an
attack of their own?
What
would you do? Would you preserve your life by
submitting to evil, or would you destroy the
evil?
Writing
truthfully results in my name being put on lists
(financed by who?) as a “Russian dupe/agent.”
Actually, I am an agent of all people who
disapprove of Washington’s willingness to use
nuclear war in order to establish Washington’s
hegemony over the world, but let us understand
what it means to be a “Russian agent.”
It
means to respect international law, which
Washington does not. It means to respect life,
which Washington does not. It means to respect
the national interests of other countries, which
Washington does not. It means to respond to
provocations with diplomacy and requests for
cooperation, which Washington does not. But
Russia does. Clearly, a “Russian agent” is a
moral person who wants to preserve life and the
national identity and dignity of other peoples.
It is
Washington that wants to snuff out human
morality and become the master of the planet. As
I have previously written, Washington without
any question is Sauron. The only important
question is whether there is sufficient good
left in the world to resist and overcome
Washington’s evil.
