NATO war games in the Baltics, the ubiquitous and hysterical cries of "Russian aggression" and potential Russian invasions, now culminating in the decision to place NATO missiles in Poland and Romania. The anti-Russian information war is running at full steam, tensions are rising, and the new Cold War mentality is spreading.
The latest geopolitical events have caused many in the alternative media to write about the threat of a full-blown war between NATO and the Russian Federation:
Robert Parry,
Paul Craig Roberts,
Pepe Escobar,
The Saker, Dmitry Orlov,
Stephen Lendman,
William Engdahl,
Eric Zuesse, and more. So what's the deal? Is humanity facing a M.A.D. scenario? Will Russia invade or attack a European nation? Will NATO throw the first punch? In short, will there be a 'hot war' with Russia? And is there the potential for it to go nuclear? Join us today on Behind the Headlines as we look at what people are saying, sifting out the realities from the hype.

Putin's 'role' reminds me, given his recent death, of Muhammad Ali.. Ali's 'role' was similar in his stand against the empire and its indoctrination of the masses regarding the war in 'Nam... conditioning of the public to 'sit down, shut up and follow orders'... and Ali was forced into this stand after they changed his draft status from 4f to 1a or whatever it was... changed after he won the championship and became such a public figure, especially for black Americans.... the PTB had to rein him in. Others took this stand, but weren't such public figures. Very few it is that have to make these choices in such a public role, which magnifies their choice and act as catalyst for everyone else, thus the threat they represent . Putin, unlike Xi in China, has become a global symbol of resistance, the real kind... and thus has become the biggest threat to our NWO imperial setup. Like Ali, he might not know the larger symbols at play, but his role does require him to; it only requires him to play his hand as dealt to him, same as the rest of us, to take a stand and keep our word, for better or for worse as history, later might decide.
