The Western pubic doesn't know it, but Washington and its European vassals are convincing Russia that they are preparing to attack. Eric Zuesse reports on a German newspaper leak of a Bundeswehr decision to declare Russia to be an
enemy nation of Germany.This is the interpretation that some Russian politicians themselves have put on the NATO military bases that Washington is establishing on Russia's borders.
Washington might intend the military buildup as pressure on President Putin to reduce Russian opposition to Washington's unilateralism. However, it reminds some outspoken Russians such as Vladimir Zhirinovsky of Hitler's troops on Russia's border in 1941.
Zhirinovsky is the founder and leader of Russia's Liberal Democratic Party and a vice chairman of the Russian parliament. In a confrontation with the editor of a German newspaper, Zhirinovsky tells him that German troops again on Russia's border will provoke a preventive strike after which nothing will remain of German and NATO troops. "The more NATO soldiers in your territory, the faster you are going to die. To the last man. Remove NATO from your territory!"
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed his frustration with Washington's reliance on force and coercion instead of diplomacy. It is reckless for Washington to convince Russia that diplomacy is a dead end without promise. When the Russians reach that conclusion, force will confront force.
Indeed Zhirinovsky has already reached that point and perhaps Vladimir Putin also.
As I reported, Putin recently dressed down Western presstitutes for their role in fomenting nuclear war. See also
Putin LOSES IT, Warns Journalists of War.Putin has made it clear that Russia will not accept US missile bases in Poland and Romania. He has informed Washington and the imbecilic Polish and Romanian governments.
However, as Putin observed, "they don't hear."The inability to hear means that Washington's arrogance has made Washington too stupid to take seriously Putin's warning. If Washington persists, it will provoke the preventive strike that Zhirinovsky told the German editor the Merkel regime was inviting.
Americans need to wake up to the dangerous situation that Washington has created, but I doubt they will. Most wars happen without the public's knowledge until they happen. The main function of the American left-wing is to serve as a bogyman with which to scare conservatives about the country's loss of morals, and the main function of conservatives is to create fear and hysteria about immigrants, Muslims, and Russians. There is no sign that Congress is aware of approaching Armageddon, and the media consists of propaganda.
I and a few others try to alert people to the real threats that they face, but our voices are not loud enough. Not even Vladimir Putin's voice is loud enough. It looks like the West won't hear until "there remains nothing at all of the German and NATO troops," and of Poland and Romania and the rest of us.

That is quite a video. I have no doubt that Russians have had enough of the military build up on their door step but it is quite something to hear it put so succinctly;
"The more NATO forces are in your territory, the faster you are all going to die. To the last man. Remove NATO from your territory."
What part of that does Germany and the US not understand?
When a male voice or a female translates the speech from another language to English the words lose their meaning and sound hollow.
My advice to Putin would be to use better male translators who have been given his personally approved translation in advance so that the true tone and inflection of his speeches is conveyed. Anything else sounds weak and laughable.
Which disrespects native societies, wherever they are, in the name of glorious money.
Money, money, money, glorious money. This is what rules the world.
Understand governments. All they care about is making more and more money whizz around quicker and quicker. That is what they call 'economic progress', as if that is all that matters. So they get more of the taxation dribbles, so they can offer more bribes and blandishments to the little people on the next election.
Has anyone noticed that the biggest owners of the financial markets no longer produce anything? They are just banks, superannuation, financial organizations that simply specialize on moving money around, as though it is a thing unto and onto itself.
Am I the only one that thinks this is just a fantasy? .
Yes, the so-called financial system is a con game.
