from Moscow

Not much has
filtered out of the Medusa
Merkel/General Hollande/Vlad
tense threesome in Moscow. And
yet John Kerry, as usual, is
already lying through his teeth
about their trip to the
Kremlin.
He said Putin
had sent “a couple of ideas” to
France and Germany, and Merkel/Hollande
were responding. Nonsense:
Merkel/Hollande – in desperation
– went to Moscow to talk to
Putin because Putin has the ONLY
possible plan to stabilize
Ukraine - and that has been the
case for months now.
Otherwise,
there WILL be war, which is
exactly what Empire of Chaos
masterminds in D.C. want.
Kerry lied the
extra mile when he said the US
wanted a diplomatic solution.
BUT then came the usual talk of
“reviewing all options”,
including “the possibility of
providing defensive systems to
Ukraine”.
Do that – and
the Russian response will be
devastating.
No wonder the
absolute majority of the EU –
apart from crackpot Lithuanians
– is opposed to weaponizing
Kiev’s goons.
The
Süddeutsche Zeitung – a very
decent paper – last Sunday
featured Russian military expert
Yevgeny Buchinsky warning that
if that happens, “Russia will
have to intervene, and then,
bluntly speaking, to take Kiev.
Then NATO would be in a
difficult situation. Then you
would have to start World War
III, which no one wants.”
That may be a
bit Dr. Strangelovian and over
the top – but the Süddeutsche
Zeitung was on the money to
stress Washington weaponizing
Kiev’s goons would be
interpreted by Russia as a
declaration of war.
Medusa Merkel,
on the record, is against it.
But Chocolateshenko is, what
else, hysterical: “I don’t have
any doubt that the US and other
partners will provide help with
lethal weapons so that Ukraine
will be able to defend itself.”
"If that
happens, all hell will break
loose. Russia will act. And the
Empire of Chaos will spin it as
"more aggression". Escalation
will be inevitable. And then all
bets are off.
Predictably,
Western corporate media is
spinning this whole debacle is
now due to FEAR OF THE DEVIL –
as in Vlad. The fears apparently
rampant in Brussels and assorted
European capitals (among pol
clowns, for sure; NOT in the
streets)
The rhetoric
is beyond ominous.
Carl Bildt,
former Swedish foreign minister,
said war “between Russia and the
West” was now CONCEIVABLE.
General
Hollande, on the record, talked
about the risk of “total war”.
General Sir
Richard Shirreff, top British
banana, sorry, NATO “commander”
until last March, said a “strong
message” should be sent to Putin
if MAINLAND EUROPE (!!!) was to
avoid “total war”.
Fogh of War
Rasmussen – the Return of the
Living Dead! – said that Putin
could expand “Soviet
revisionism” to NATO and the EU.
In the Baltics, he said Putin
would go for a little exercise
in “hybrid warfare”.
There will be
more (minor) EU sanctions on
Monday. The hardcore economic
sanctions against Russian banks
and companies lapse only in
July. Italy and Greece may
torpedo them for good when that
happens.
Even EU
bureaucrats admit – off the
record – sanctions are
ridiculous, sanctioning in fact
the EU for least 15% of exports
to Russia. The Brits,
predictably – shades of the
Great Game never vanish – lead
the pro-sanction crowd.
Some idiot in
the Grauniad passing as “Europe
editor” (where do they find
these people? Getting pissed in
a pub after an Arsenal match ?)
wrote that “Putin is
increasingly seen as a reckless
gambler who calls bluffs and
takes risks, and is inscrutable,
paranoid and unpredictable.”
Looks like this was ghostwritten
by a State Department hack.
And other rags
go on the same road: the real
nightmare for Europe is not
Ukraine, bur Evil Vlad. NO ONE
dares to criticize the Empire of
Chaos.
And now back
to…
