U.S. President Joe Biden has told Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that the United States and its allies will "respond decisively" if Russia further invades Ukraine, according to a White House statement on January 2.

Comment: 'Respond decisively' could mean that the US will abandon Ukraine to its fate - and NATO has said outright that Ukraine is not included in its protection agreements - but it could mean just about anything, and that may have been the intention.

Biden "reaffirmed the United States' commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in the statement, which came after the two leaders spoke by phone.

Comment: As a US vassal, Ukraine has little sovereignty, that's why Russia has said there's no point in having a discussion with Ukraine's leadership, because it doesn't call the shots.

"The leaders expressed support for diplomatic efforts, starting next week with the bilateral Strategic Stability Dialogue, at NATO through the NATO-Russia Council, and at the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe," Psaki said.

The first of the three high-level U.S. and Russian talks are set for January 9-10 in Geneva.

Zelenskiy noted that the call came early in 2022 and said he and Biden discussed the cooperation between the United States and Ukraine and other partners.

"The first international talk of the year with @POTUS proves the special nature of our relations," Zelenskiy wrote on Twitter.

Comment: It must be special if Biden managed to stay awake the whole time.

He said he and Biden discussed the joint actions of Ukraine, the United States "and partners in keeping peace in Europe, preventing further escalation, reforms, deoligarchization.

Comment: Corruption and crime in Ukraine is actually getting worse: Don't invest in Ukraine, says Estonian president, warns the courts are corrupt

"We appreciate the unwavering support of Ukraine," he added.

The call was the second in three weeks between the two leaders as the White House attempts to address a Russian troop buildup that has alarmed NATO, while authorities in Kyiv have expressed concerns that Russia could invade Ukraine in the coming weeks.

The call follows on the heels of talks between Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin on December 30 in which Biden said the United States and its allies would impose severe sanctions on Russia if it invades Ukraine.

Russia has amassed about 100,000 troops near its border with Ukraine as it makes demands for sweeping security guarantees from the United States and NATO.

In particular, Moscow wants NATO to deny membership to Ukraine and other former Soviet countries and roll back military deployments in Central and Eastern Europe.

During their call on December 30, Biden and Putin set the groundwork for three sets of upcoming talks aimed at defusing the crisis.

Comment: Indeed, it is Putin that initiated talks and issued a proposal intended to deescalate the situation, not NATO nor the US.

The talks in Geneva next week are to discuss arms control and the mounting tensions over Ukraine under their bilateral Strategic Stability Dialogue.

That will be followed by a separate meeting of the Russia-NATO Council in Brussels on January 12.

Another meeting will be held in Vienna a day later within the framework of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), which includes the United States, its European allies, Ukraine, and Russia.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on December 31 reinforced that Russia stands by its demands for written security guarantees.

"If no constructive answer comes in a reasonable time and the West continues its aggressive course, Russia will have to take all necessary measures to maintain a strategic balance and remove unacceptable threats to our security," he told the state news agency RIA Novosti.

The Biden administration and NATO have repeatedly said that the alliance has an open-door policy and that no country should have a veto over the aspirations of another country to join. It also has said it would not discuss Ukraine's security without consulting Kyiv.

The Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Oksana Markarova, reiterated Ukraine's aspiration to join NATO in an interview with RFE/RL broadcast on January 1.

Comment: There's no evidence Russia has any intentions to initiate an 'invasion' of Ukraine, but there is solid evidence that this whole farce has been concocted by the West to antagonise Russia, in order to further a number of agendas.

Russia has explicitly declared it's red lines and that if they are crossed it, too, will be forced to respond; and it's notable that the West hasn't disputed Russia's red lines, and this is probably because they're not unreasonable.

However, in the run up to these meetings, the West has been on a propaganda offensive - the meeting with Zelenskiy as just one example - as well as doing everything it can to stall and deflect from Russia's proposals:

The truth is that Poland, which had long been under Russian rule, was re-established as an independent state from Germany and Austria in 1916. In thanks for this generous act, regular units of the Polish army joined the armed bands of Korfanty and began to seize German provinces such as Upper Silesia and West Prussia.

In response to German electoral victories in every province where a plebiscite was held, they began a period of terror and, thanks to French support, Poland was allowed to hold these German provinces.

With the Treaty of Versailles, Poland was given a "corridor" to the Baltic Sea, along with large areas of West Prussica that were populated by Germans. This "corridor" completely separated East Prussia from the Reich, making trade and communications difficult or impossible.

During the Allied talks on the peace treaty, Lloyd Gorge, British Prime Minister at the time of the First World War, pointed to this place on the map and predicted: "this is where the next world war will begin"

Unlike Western leaders, Hitler had realistically assessed the dangers posed by the Bolshevik Soviet Union. He realized that Germany would not be able to resist the Soviet Union without an alliance with Poland. For this reason he signed a non-aggression pact with Poland in 1934.

President Pilsudski, in turn, realized that he could not carry out hostilities simultaneously against his two powerful neighbors, Germany and the Soviet Union. In addition to taking over the German provinces, Poland had got its hands on the Belarusian and Ukrainian provinces after the Russian empire weakened following the First World War.

The present eastern border of Poland, which the Soviet Union established in 1939, corresponds to the ethnic border. With its wars of aggression, Poland had crossed this line by making the Soviet Union its enemy.

The German minority was deprived of civil rights in the 1920s, and in the 1930s it was subjected to acts of terror, murder and rape, especially in the months leading up to September 1939.

Under the non-aggression pact, German newspapers were not allowed to talk about the Polish atrocities on German minorities, which led to a million Germans emigrating. Another million remained behind in German provinces which the Poles had taken over.

A folk song about the Poles, which originated among the defense fighting units in Upper Silesia, was rewritten in the collections of National Socialist songs implying that the struggle was not against the "Pjorunje" but rather against the "Bolschewikes".

Hitler seriously wanted an agreement with Poland.

Until April 1939, National Socialist propaganda continued to mention the names of the deceased President Pilsudski and Foreign Minister Beck among the "great statesmen of Europe".

In contrast to his leaders, who along with their friends and relatives had owned vast landholdings in the now-occupied Polish provinces, Hitler did not insist on re-establishing the 1914 border. Instead, he offered the considerable concession to limit German requests to a plebiscite. only in West Prussia and nowhere else.

He proposed that in the event of a plebiscite in favor of Germany, the city and the port of Gdingen remain Polish territory, together with an extra-territorial communication route extending from Poland to the port via West Prussia.

In the event of a plebiscite in favor of Poland, Germany would be allowed to build an extra-territorial communication route from Pomerania to East Prussia in order to eliminate tedious border controls on both sides.

Furthermore, Danzig, which was 98% German and under the mandate of the League of Nations, would be allowed to be part of the Reich, maintaining the preference expressed by the population of the city itself.

Both publicly and privately, Hitler asserted that this would be Germany's last territorial request, thus eliminating the crime perpetrated at Versailles.

This led the British government to protest Austria’s annexation to the Reich, although 99% of Austrians voted in favor of unification in the plebiscite. Britain has never recognized the right of self-determination of other nations, both in India (where those who were in favor of independence were shot at) and in Ireland (where almost the entire population was annihilated for refusing to submit. to the English domain). It is a mistake to argue that the entry of German troops into Czechoslovakia on March 15, 1939 brought about a change in British policy towards the Reich. The following must be said about Czechoslovakia: in this crudely put together country, a minority of Czechs ruled three million Germans, as well as Slovaks, Ruthenians, Poles and Hungarians. All these ethnic groups wanted to join their respective nations but the Czechs brutally prevented them from doing so. The reason for this was that under the Treaty of Versailles France could pursue a policy of accretion to Germany's neighbors, so it could count on strong allies in the next war against the Germans. After Austria was reunited with the Reich, the problem arose of annexing the millions of Germans who lived under Czech rule. Hitler proposed self-determination but the Czechs responded by escalating the repression. They went to great lengths to provoke Hitler, including a general mobilization on May 21, 1938 to deal with an alleged and imminent attack by Germany, which turned out to be a pretty and good invention. As there was no attack, the Czech press with the French and English triumphantly announced that their firm military measures had dissuaded Hitler from the invasion, which caused the Reich to lose prestige. The American ambassador in Paris clearly recognized the bellicose nature of the Czech mobilization and called it, in a report to President Roosevelt, a "provocation for another war in Europe". In order to assess the situation, the British government sent Sir Runciman to the Sudetenland region. In his report on September 16, 1938, he wrote: “I have great sympathy for the cause of the Germans in the Sudetenland. It is difficult to be ruled by a foreign nation and my impression is that the Czechoslovakian government towards the Sudetenland demonstrates such a lack of tact and understanding, together with intolerance and discrimination, that dissension among the German population must inevitably lead to indignation and rebellion". On the basis of this, the British government urged the Czechs to grant a plebiscite in the Sudetenland region. The French government, which had a mutual assistance treaty with Czechoslovakia, did the same thing, as France was unwilling to go to war with Germany over the Sudetenland. The Czech government rejected the suggestion of a plebiscite because it would serve as a precedent for other ethnic minorities. However, he agreed to cede the Sudeten provinces without a plebiscite as these regions, bordering the Reich, were almost entirely populated by Germans. This is how the Munich Pact was born.

It was not the result of Hitler's threats and extortion but rather of an agreement between all parties that enshrined that Sudeten Germans legitimately belonged to the Reich.

It is important to note that both England and Germany agreed to secure Czechoslovakia's borders as soon as its other problems with other minorities were resolved.

Neither Hitler nor anyone else guaranteed national borders as Czechoslovakia never solved the problems of its minorities.

In March 1939, both the Slovaks and the Ruthenians declared independence; whereupon the Poles invaded Czechoslovakia and occupied the Olsa region which was populated by Poles.

The Hungarians did the same, occupying the border areas that were populated by Hungarians.

As Czechoslovakia ceased to exist, its president Hacha flew to Berlin on March 15, 1939 and placed what was left of his country under the protection of the Reich. He feared that Poland and Hungary would follow the Czech example and divide the Czech regions among themselves.

The Reich then formed the Protectorate of Bohemia and Maeren, which guaranteed an exclusively Czech administration except in the military and foreign policy fields.

Hitler was concerned about the threats to German cities and industrial areas that came from Czech air bases. As it felt betrayed by the Sudeten agreement and by the Western powers, Czechoslovakia adopted close relations with the Soviet Union which had already stationed 300 aircraft in the Czech regions.

Hitler, who knew that a war with the Soviet Union was inevitable, could not allow the Czech provinces to serve as a support area and "aircraft carrier" for the Soviet Union.

Hacha remained in office and attended the parade on April 20, 1939 as a guest of the Reich, standing next to Hitler. It is evident that Hitler did not violate the Munich Pact.

When Prime Minister Chamberlain was questioned in the Lower House about the entry of German troops into Prague on March 15, 1939, he said:

“In our opinion, the situation has changed significantly since the Slovak parliament declared its independence. This explanation produced the effect that the state, whose borders we intended to guarantee, collapsed internally and ceased to exist. Based on this, the situation that the honorable Secretary of the Colonies described and which he always considered as temporary, has now ceased to exist. "

Only two days later, however, in stark contrast to what was explained to the British Lower House, Chamberlain condemned "the German invasion" in his speech in Birmingham on March 17, 1939; and on March 31, 1939, he signed an agreement with the Polish government in which Great Britain promised its support in the event of war. He promised this not only in case Poland was attacked, but also if Poland started a war, for example because of its alleged "rights" to Gdansk.

Both things contradicted in word and spirit with Chamberlain's written message which he held in his hand upon his return from Munich, to which he proudly referred and for which he was enthusiastically applauded by the crowd. At that time he announced "Peace in our age".

In this announcement Hitler and Chamberlain stipulated that any question concerning their common interests would be dealt with in mutual consultations.

So how did England encourage Poland to go to war with Germany?

After March 15, 1939, Roosevelt exerted strong pressure on the British government to "finally exercise opposition" against "Nazi tyranny", otherwise he would have applied methods of coercion against Britain. It is impossible to determine exactly what threats he made, as his correspondence is not yet available to historians.

Secretary of the Navy James Forrestal wrote in his diary that US Ambassador Joseph Kennedy pointed out that Chamberlain was convinced that America and the Jews were forcing Britain to go to war. This, however, is only part of the story.

Senior British German-phobic diplomat Vansittart and Romanian ambassador Tileda played an important role. Immediately after the German troops entered Czech territory, Tileda announced that during the German-Romanian economic talks Germany had threatened to invade Romania if it was not allowed to extract Romanian oil.

This was an absurd statement, as Germany and Romania had no common border, between them there was a distance of 400 kilometers.

The British believed it, however, and London, Paris and New York newspapers spread false news about a threat of a German attack.

Indeed, German-Romanian trade relations were cordial. Nobody made threats of any kind. It could be that Tileda's false claims about German threats were inspired by Romania's need for British economic assistance and that Romania was desperately trying to get England to give it to him. It could be that Tileda had been bribed by the anti-German Vansittart, who was determined to come to an understanding between Tileda and Chamberlain.

In any event, these false claims greatly alarmed the financial City of London. The City had no economic interests in Poland or the Czech state, but had interests in Romania where most of the oil wells were in the hands of English owners. Such claims led British business circles to take an anti-German road.

Not to be underestimated is the fact that Chamberlain was neither a pacifier nor a Germanophile, as his biographer carefully points out. He simply realized that a war against Germany could not be won in 1939. The British regular army was relatively small, had only recently introduced conscription and its air force was inferior to the Luftwaffe.

As Hitler understood perfectly well, Chamberlain was buying time so that he could replace Germany as the main power on the continent, as soon as Britain, which had enormously increased its weapons program, had adequately trained men and related means. What Chamberlain hoped in his heart was a political upheaval in Germany due to the declaration of war. He came to this hope because numerous opponents of Hitler, including the secretary of the German ambassador in London Kordt, the priest Goerdeler, the head of the German military counter-intelligence Canaris, the secretary of state Weizsaecker (number two after the German foreign minister) and Army General Beck, had joined the opposition and established contacts with the British government.

At first, due to the universal principle "right or wrong, my country comes first", the British believed that contact with the German opposition was a trick to make them take false steps. On the basis of very precise details that were revealed to them, they came to believe in the honesty and correctness of the data provided by the Hitlerite opposition.

For example: Hitler was surprised by the sudden mobilization of the British fleet, the excavation of air shelters and gas mask exercises in London in the summer of 1939.

alexal60 · 2022-01-04T17:26:45Z

alexal60 All of this came in response to a report by opposition individuals that Hitler planned a surprise attack with over a thousand bombers.

British journalist John Colvin, in search of a scoop, had close ties to the British secret service and met with opposition circles that included high-ranking officials. These officials told him that the British agreement on the Sudeten crisis had denied them the possibility of overthrowing Hitler and the National Socialist regime in a coup.

They suggested that Britain take a much tougher line with Germany, including a declaration of war. They believed that this would make Hitler so unpopular in Germany that the generals would be able to overthrow him.

On March 29, 1939, before the Anglo-Polish Pact, Colvin met Chamberlain on the advice of Churchill. He told him that there was a good chance that German generals Beck and von Witzleben, H. von Bismarck and Major von Kleist-Schmenzien would revolt and stop Hitler. Chamberlain then asked if it would be an advantage for these people if England would give a guarantee to the Poles and Colvin replied: "yes, it would help."

The guarantee was given.

Churchill, who had said that his life's mission was to bring another Thirty Years War against Germany, when he met Colvin again after the war, jovially announced: "Here is the man who gave us the war. ! ".

Chamberlain's diary also gives evidence that the German opposition played a decisive role in the British declaration of war. On September 3, 1939, he wrote that he did not believe that England could win the war and was hoping for a revolt in Germany. On 10 September 1939 he wrote to his sister: "what I hope for is not a military victory but rather a failure of the German national front".

Since the British guarantee of March 31, 1939 gave Poland carte blanche in its negotiations with Germany, Poland intensified its persecution against the German minority.

Kidnappings were the order of the day, speaking German in public was forbidden, German associations and newspapers were suppressed, the German consul in Krakow was assassinated, etc ...

It is irrelevant whether it was the Poles or the Germans who attacked the Gleiwitz radio station; Anyone who reads the White Paper of the German-Polish War will find endless and uncontested murders and attacks committed by Poles in the weeks and months leading up to September 1, 1939.

For example: citizens of German origin who tried to leave Poland were killed and German commercial planes flying between Pomerania and East Prussia were targeted by Polish anti-aircraft artillery. Such provocations could only be intentional.

In June 1939, Pilsudski's successor, Marshal Rydz-Smigly, smugly addressed the Polish military officers saying: "Poland wants war with Germany and Germany will not be able to avoid war even if it wanted to. ". He probably imagined himself riding a white horse at the head of victorious Polish troops marching through the Brandenburg Gate.

The German counterintelligence managed to decipher the Polish secret code and so the Germans learned that Warsaw had given instructions to the Polish ambassador Lipski, who under no circumstances was to intervene or offer concessions to Germany.

Furthermore, the German opposition informed Roosevelt that Germany was planning an attack on Poland. It also informed the Polish ambassador, the Polish government and the French government. None of them were worried. They were confident that in the event of war they would penetrate deeply into Germany because internal unrest would break out there.

Thus the United States, England, France and Poland trusted in the promises of the German opposition to carry out a coup if Hitler invaded Poland and the Western powers declared war on Germany.

This is surprising considering the fact that, as several inquiries showed, 90% of Germans supported Hitler.

Germany's enemies, as well as its internal opposition, must have known that the opposition had no consensus among the German people. Despite everything, they continued to urge Poland and Great Britain to go to war.

Even on July 20, 1944, despite Germany’s heavy losses in the war, opposition members still did not have enough strength to declare themselves as opponents of Hitler. Indeed, they prepared an explanation to be given following Hitler's anticipated death: that the SS had carried out a coup and that the Wehrmacht was now taking power.

And as if this were not enough, these traitors invertebrates are today incensed by the current system as "heroes"!

The fact that Chamberlain, knowing of the Polish, French and American desire for war, gave the green light to Polish war policies and did not urge Poland to accept moderate German demands, can only be explained by the fact that he too wanted to the war on 1 September 1939.

Another sign was the fact that in England the evening edition of the Daily Mail newspaper of August 31, 1939 was seized. The edition reported the history of the German proposals concerning the Polish corridor and the response given by Poland, which was the general mobilization. The newspaper was forced to publish a different evening edition.

English Navy Minister Cooper, who was pro-war, was concerned when he learned of the German proposal, which he considered moderate and reasonable. He telephoned the Daily Telegraph asking that the German proposal be presented as unfavorably as possible. The German ambassador in Berlin did everything to keep the moderation of the German proposal a secret as long as possible.

Regime media occasionally admit that Hitler had not planned a world war on September 1, 1939. Numerous witnesses reported that Hitler was shocked to receive the British and French declaration of war. When it comes to this, however, it is implied that he was cheating like he had done it before, but that this time he had gone wrong.

In this regard it must be said that Hitler carefully assessed public sentiment in England and France. Many French people were not thrilled with the prospect of "dying for Gdansk". "Mourir pour Danzig" was precisely the phrase on everyone's lips. What Hitler did not suspect, as Germans traditionally hold sworn oaths sacred, was that influential figures in the military, foreign minister and news agencies were conspiring with the enemy to carry out "regime change".

These individuals likely believed the enemy propaganda that it aimed to replace Hitler rather than annihilate Germany.

As for the Russian-Soviet war, there is no doubt - in the light of the revelations of Russian secret agent Suvorov - that what the Germans suspected in 1941 was based on facts: the Reich threw up the Russian offensive which, like today we know, it was scheduled for July 6, 1941. This explains why millions of Soviet soldiers were quickly surrounded and taken prisoner. They should have moved from hidden positions towards the border before unleashing the attack. This also explains why huge quantities of artillery pieces and mountains of ammunition were collected at the border along with millions of leather boots, detailed maps of Red Army targets in Germany and so on.

When the regime media blather about "the surprise attack on an unsuspecting Soviet Union in 1941" it was nothing more than a giant lie.

Starting the Anglo-German War in September 1939, which he so ardently desired, Roosevelt violated the directives inherent to neutral nations countless times. As early as 1939 he spied on German merchant ships with American cruisers, who called on British cruisers to sink them. He also froze German assets, supplied the British with war material on credit, "leased" them 50 destroyers, and had British convoys escorted by American warships.

Hitler, who was determined not to provoke the United States, did not respond to any of these provocations. He even forbade German submarines to defend themselves with torpedoes in case they were attacked by American destroyers, remembering Washington's pretext to enter the First World War in 1917.

Even at the Nuremberg mock trial the greedy and self-righteous US government did not dare to plead Germany guilty of waging an "offensive war" against them, as they had already been at war for three months with Germany when Japan, forced under extreme measures since the oil embargo, he attacked the American fleet at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

The above is the plain and simple truth.
