Britain Summons Russian Ambassador; Russian Ambassador To US May Be Recalled

Tyler Durden's picture




 

While various organizations are scrambling to meet on short notice, or not so short if one is a European finance minister, the diplomatic fallout has begun with the summoning of the Russian Ambassador in Great Britain to the foreign office.

This was to be expected. More interest will be whether Russia will "summon" its ambassador to the US as the upper house of parliament has demanded of Putin:

Russia's upper house of parliament will ask President Vladimir Putin to recall Moscow's ambassador from the United States, the chamber's speaker said on Saturday.

 

Valentina Matviyenko, the head of the Federation Council, asked the Council's Committee on Foreign Affairs to draw up a proposal setting out the demands to Putin.

Now all eyes are focused on the White House. Or perhaps that should say on the nearby golf courses?

To the extent that there seems to be excessive public posturing by the US and EU, this is an indicator that diplomacy isn't working, and the US/EU agendas and laundry is being aired publicly.

Clearly the 'West' (US, UK) are showing their hand in their Globalist agenda game.  To the extent that this is happening over an economically insignificant but geo-strategically significant country like Ukraine, their ultimate goals (energy-backed fiat currency) is being manifested.

How's the demand for British and US debt these days?  Follow the money and energy trails for Ultimate Motive.

ummm....50 billion dolares on the Olympics Games...250 billion dolares just for this "ramp up."

There already has been blood in "Maiden Square."
That was Ukrainian versus Ukrainian.

Russian Ambassador is busy playing Golf in Ireland or maybe Scotland.  UK has plenty of homegrown worries.

From where we sit, that March 25, 2011 article certainly appears to have the timing about right.

http://english.pravda.ru/society/anomal/25-03-2011/117328-third_world_wa...

The participants of the meeting also unveiled the date for the beginning of Third World War. The new war is said to begin in March of 2014, during the Olympic Games in Sochi. It is also possible that the war may start five days after the Games end.

Said Romney: "This is without question our No. 1 geopolitical foe. They fight for every cause for the world's worst actors. The idea that he has more flexibility in mind for Russia is very, very troubling indeed."
   
Blitzer asked Romney if he thought Russia is a bigger foe than Iran, China or North Korea.
   
"I'm saying in terms of a geopolitical opponent, the nation that lines up with the world's worst actors," Romney said. "Of course the greatest threat that the world faces is a nuclear Iran, and a nuclear North Korea is already troubling enough. But when these terrible actors pursue their course in the world and we go to the United Nations looking for ways to stop them ... who is it that always stands up with the world's worst actors? It's always Russia, typically with China alongside. And so in terms of a geopolitical foe, a nation that's on the Security Council that has the heft of the Security Council, and is of course is a massive nuclear power, Russia is the geopolitical foe."

 

Said Obama: "On all these issues, but particularly missile defense, this, this can be solved, but it’s important for him to give me space," Obama was heard telling Medvedev, apparently referring to incoming Russian president Vladi­mir Putin.

   
"Yeah, I understand," Medvedev replied.
   
Obama interjected, saying, "This is my last election. After my election, I have more flexibility."

 

Who would you rather have running the show for the US?

Neither one of these 2 choices, that's for sure.  It was a contest between big pussy and bigger pussy.  Putin would steal either one's lunch money.

Sure you can have your CFR/NED "city square" revolution, but holding onto heavy industry assets and infrastructure in the east - with its Russian population is a different story.

Now we might see some very interesting drone-warfare between two modern armies and not all the asymmetric BS over the last decades.

Funny how the first modern war was in the Crimea (1853-56), and now come drones and real-time surveillance.

This will be a real test for NATO, considering how this all started.

This is what happens when the hapless MTV generation takes the reins of power.

ya know, when i look at the ussa's invasion by obama ... 'obama's wars' in 2010, finnishing-up the half-ass job of a bush`baby in afghanistan (2001), and leaving iraq's quagmire, burning like a bush`baby in the dead heat of the ~Sahel? one only has to wonder? is america, already contolled by a totalitarian elitist foreign wealth?

now, the first country asked for strategic help were the russians! yes, the russian's to get turkmenistan (note: the ussa doesn't honour its debt regarding payment for flyovers/base lease?), uzbekistan(?), and tajikistan on board for 'sar' in the northern pashtun advance against the taliban.

the ussa got the help almost immediately from russia regarding the satellite countries with a lot of give-and-take on putin's part regarding prized uzbekistan vital geography less the mountainous tajikistan (treacherous mountains for rescue and search)!

lastly, not to bore anyone with the details... but,

a russian general spoke candidly with the ussa military,... and asked quite frankly; 'have you any ideal what your about to get yourselves into'-- the afghan's will hand you your ass'

The Anglos, whether of the homeland or of the diaspora, have always been a hypocritical and seemingly frivolous people.

Nevertheless, for the past couple of centuries they have played a major role--and in our lifetimes even a dominant role-- in world affairs.

If you're going to find yourself living in a world with a powerful Anglo entity, then you have to fasten in your minds a couple of core concepts:

FIRST CORE CONCEPT: The Anglos are the most hypocritical people who have ever walked upon the face of the Earth.

When George Orwell coined the term, "doublethink," he did not create a piece of fiction. Instead, his idea was the product of his many years of thinking and writing about the English-speaking peoples.

"Doublethink"--the ability to maintain two or more completely contradictory ideas while accepting all of them at their face value--is the natural default condition of the Anglo mind. To the Anglo culture, thermonuclear weapons and worldwide surveillance fit together perfectly with Justin Bieber and lolcats. The Anglo mind can move seamlessly and effortlessly from any of these things to any of the others. No "whiplash" at all--not in the least!

2. The Anglos are the most violent peoples who have walked upon the face of the Earth.

I don't mean to say that the Anglos are great warriors. They are neither particularly good nor particularly bad at fighting battles. They win many, and they lose many. The Anglo does not love battle as such.

But the Anglos are very violent. Anglos are wonderful killers. No other people have such an easy time slaughtering those from whom they have never taken harm. No other people so easily make sacrifices of their friends. The Anglo can starve whole nations and lay waste to great cities almost in "a fit of absence of mind." One day, the Anglo can be tweeting about inconsequential matters. The next day, they're blowing thousands of other people into bloody bits. This goes back to the Anglo's innate capacity for doublethink. They can massacre millions and still be honestly convinced in their own minds that they love peace.

Because of their cultural talent for doublethink, the Anglos practice Sun Tzu's maxims about deception and warfare almost by instinct. Intrigue and daggers come naturally to the Anglo.

The perfect fusion of hyprocrisy and violence means that the Anglo can practice Cluasewitz' idea of True War.

Anglos make very dangerous and unpredictable enemies. At one moment, all you see is silly little Neville with an umbrella and a bowler hat. A little while later, the Anglos had burned down a hundred cities and all they could think of was how to use atom bombs to do it even faster.

Do NOT underestimate the Anglo!
