Obama's Anti-Russia Policy Escalates: DoD Tells Congress Nukes Are Still On The Table

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Submitted by Justin Raimondo via AntiWar.com,

The War Party is a veritable propaganda machine, churning out product 24/7. Armed with nearly unlimited resources, both from government(s) and the private sector, they carpet-bomb the public with an endless stream of lies in order to soften them up when it’s time to roll. In the past, their job has been relatively easy: simply order up a few atrocity stories – Germans bayoneting babies, Iraqis dumping over babies in incubators – and we’ve got ourselves another glorious war. These days, however, over a decade of constant warfare – and a long string of War Party fabrications – has left the public leery.

And that’s cause for optimism. People are waking up. The War Party’s propaganda machine has to work overtime in order to overcome rising skepticism, and it shows signs of overheating – and, in some instances, even breaking down.

One encouraging sign is that the Ukrainian neo-Nazis have lost their US government funding …

In a blow to the “let’s arm Ukraine” movement that seemed to be picking up steam in Congress, a resolution introduced by Rep. John Conyers (D-Michigan) and Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Florida) banning aid to Ukraine’s Azov Battalion, and forbidding shipments of MANPAD anti-aircraft missiles to the region, passed the House unanimously.

This is significant because, up until this point, there has been no recognition in Washington that the supposedly “pro-democracy” regime in Kiev contains a dangerously influential neo-Nazi element.

As I reported early on, Ukraine’s ultra-nationalists – who openly utilize wartime Nazi symbols and regalia, and valorize Stepan Bandera, the anti-Soviet guerrilla leader who collaborated with the Third Reich – were the muscle behind the movement that pushed democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovich out of power. With the rebellion in the east, the paramilitary militias of the far right have been officially incorporated into the Ukrainian army: Dmytro Yorash, the leader of Right Sector and a member of parliament, is an aide to Viktor Muzhenko, the supreme commander of the Ukrainian military, and Right Sector – an openly neo-Nazi organization – has been officially integrated into the armed forces.

The Conyers-Yoho amendment won’t stop Ukraine’s neo-Nazis from feeding at the US-provided trough, but, hey, it’s the thought that counts. They’ll just abandon their independent existence and blend into the official military, effectively going underground, just as they did in the last Ukrainian elections, where fascists like Yarosh won a seat in the parliament with the tacit support of the “mainstream” parties, which withdrew their candidates in his district: Adriy Biletsky, commander of the Azov Battalion, enjoyed a similar advantage. Open fascists hold prominent positions in the Ukrainian government, the military, and the police.

Vadim Troyan, the deputy leader of the Azov Battalion, is now the regional chief of the Kiev district police, and fascists have the run of the city. The perpetrators of an arson fire at a Kiev theater that sponsored a gay film festival were charged with “disturbing the peace” and let off with a light sentence – and the theater was held responsible for not providing enough security! "I think the government prosecutor and those who are prosecuted are playing for the same team," says one activist, and this is quite true: the fascists permeate the Kiev regime from top to bottom. When gay activists announced a Gay Pride march, the Mayor of Kiev said he couldn’t – or wouldn’t – guarantee their safety and asked them to cancel it. What was an open invitation to violent thugs was accepted when dozens of Right Sector stormtroopers attacked the procession, which ended the event after thirty bloody minutes.

As the Kiev regime shows its true colors, its most fervent backers are forced to acknowledge its shortcomings. Yes, even our UN Ambassador, Samantha “responsibility to protect” Power …

In a recent speech delivered in Kiev, Ambassador Power made oblique reference to the embarrassing slip ups on the part of our sock puppets in Kiev, gently scolding them to be more … discreet. Citing Abraham Lincoln, she urged Ukrainians to listen to “the better angels of our nature,” and averred that “Ukraine is stronger” when it does so:

“It means that Ukraine should zealously protect freedom of the press, including for its most outspoken and biased critics – indeed, especially for its most outspoken and biased critics – even as the so-called separatists expel journalists from the territory they control, and even as Russia shutters Tatar media outlets in occupied Crimea. It means that politicians and police across the country should recognize how crucial it is that people be able to march to demand respect for LGBT rights and the rights of other vulnerable groups without fear of being attacked.”

Citing Lincoln while calling for press freedom is a bit problematic – Abe shut down “treasonous” newspapers and jailed his more vociferous critics, but, hey, Power probably figured the Ukrainians aren’t up on the details of Civil War history, so what the heck. As the US continues to pump money – and weaponry – into the country, they’ll listen politely to Power’s lectures, and laugh all the way to the bank.

Amid all the publicity given to ISIS and the rise of its “caliphate,” the volatile condition of the Balkans has remained in the shadows. Yet the US, while sending only a few hundred “advisors” to Iraq, is sending a huge shipment of tanks and other heavy weaponry to nearly every country in Eastern Europe – enough to equip 5,000 American troops.

Ostensibly proposed in response to a nonexistent Russian “threat” to invade its Baltic neighbors, and/or Ukraine, this represents a significant escalation of the new cold war. And if the tanks are already on the ground, you can bet the troops won’t be long in coming. As NATO James Stavridis put it: “It provides a reasonable level of reassurance to jittery allies, although nothing is as good as troops stationed full-time on the ground, of course.”

And we aren’t just talking about troops here: the Pentagon is also considering stationing nuclear missiles alongside them.

The US is playing a dangerous game of nuclear brinkmanship. Robert Scher, undersecretary of defense, has even floated the idea of a nuclear first strike against Russia. Claiming that Russia has violated the INF Treaty by testing a banned ground-launched cruise missile, Scher laid out possible options in testimony before Congress:

Robert Scher, assistant secretary of defence for strategy, plans and capabilities, told politicians in April that one option could be to beef up defenses of potential targets of the Russian cruise missile.

 

“A second option could ‘look at how we could go about and actually attack that missile where it is in Russia,’ Scher said.

 

“And a third option would be ‘to look at what things we can hold at risk within Russia itself,’ Scher said.

 

“His comments appeared to signal employing forces to strike at other Russian military targets — apart from the missiles that allegedly violate the INF accord.

 

“Brian McKeon, deputy undersecretary of defense for policy, told politicians in December that the United States could consider putting ground-launched cruise missiles in Europe. Such weapons are banned under the INF treaty.”

Yes, that’s how crazy the warlords of Washington are: in their demented calculus, nuclear war is just another “option.”

And if that isn’t the definitive argument for regime-change in Washington, then I don’t know what is.

The nasty perps in DC are just yanking Putin's yarbles hoping they can spur him into something too costly for Russia - hoping for financial/political/military overreach of the kind that would boomerang on Russia itself.

 

Putin isn't going to gratify the raging poosies in the Pantygon by playing into their hands, though.....

 

Instead, he's just going to keep making carefully planned deliberate moves along with China to undermine what's left of the influence of the U.S. Empire, and keep building asymmetrical tools and weapons to undercut U.S. power.

 

Russia has a new high-power microwave shield to thwart air attacks by drones, aircraft and missiles, for but one example. The system is self-contained within a single mobile BUK air defense vehicle and has a 10KM radius - all enemy air assets within that radius have their guidance and communications electronics downed by the MWave assault. This new system is to be deployed around Russia starting this year.

 

After reading about this new weapon, I wondered about the reports of Russian aircraft darkening all the electronics systems on U.S. Navy ships in the Black Sea - could these reports actually be true?

 

It's these kinds of relatively inexpensive asymmetric countermeasures that are going to raise holy hell with U.S. power-projection platforms in any war with Russia, allowing counterstrikes by Russian forces to take out those very platforms.

 

The U.S. Pussy-Rioters in the Panzygon aren't dealing with a bunch of Iraqi bearded towel-heads here - this is Putin's Russia, able to bring huge and very costly surprises on the battlefield and conduct a furious military response, including tactical nukes as well.

It is all about game theory.

On more than one occasion (only one incident linked to the Cuban missile crisis is openly acknowledged) The Soviet Union was put in a position where it had to back down or start an open war with the United States, and with it start a nuclear war. The Soviet Union always backed down.

The United States continues to assume that Russia will also back down, if put in the same situation. In April 2014, after the US demonstrated its anti missile capability and one of its advanced robotic spaceships conducted secret maneuvers in space, Putin suddenly called off full scale mobilizations which could have been the start of an invasion of Ukraine.

The breakneck speed at which Russia is upgrading its nuclear forces should be an indication that the US has already played the "nuclear card" during the Ukrainian crisis.

Ananchronism, what you say may be true, but I believe that Putin never intended to invade the Ukraine, ever.  There is no percentage in assuming control over a nation of 40 million broke, hungry and desperate people.  Better to stick the tar baby to the USSA and EU, and let the mess fall apart on their watch.  So far, the Ukie army has been an abject failure. Training and arms will not turn around an army that does not want to fight.

"Command and Control" is a story about the Trident 2 missile that blew up in Arkansas (Billy Clinton was Gov then). The heat signature from the fire could have easily been mistaken for a missile spooling up. The book lists the reasons why and numerous other accidents.

The cold war only avoided becoming a hot war by the grace of God. As the rhetoric heats up, an accident might one day be mistaken as a first strike and that's it. Toast.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate nuclear war has very little understanding of it.

Last time I checked, Ukraine is not in the Balkans. It borders on Romania and former Soviet Moldova (which was taken from Romania at the end of WWII), but it's not part of the Balkans.

Most of the Balkan countries are too poor to devote any significant percentage of their budgets toward their military. In fact, some have abolished compulsitory military service, because they can't even afford to train their men 18 and over. There is no way they would actively support a war against the Russians, no matter how much they hated them. Now, if the Russians become agressors again, that's another story, but the Russians aren't stupid enough to overextend themselves again.

It's all bullshit neocon propaganda. Send your sons and daughters to die on the Russian Front for democracy. How many Congressmen's and Senator's sons and daughters will be on the front lines? Zero. George Bush was in the fucking Texas guard reserve, being "patriotic", while other people's sons and daughters were dying in Iraq. Fucking ludicrous.

Let some other fool come back with PTSD and blown off limbs. Have a neocon send their son or daughter to fight for democracy.

These generals are on payroll with MIC. So before we start dying for profit short review of events 2014/15that led to this madness:

The fundamental points conveniently supressed in MSM propaganda.

1. There was agreement signed between Yanukovitch and parliamentary opposition guarantied by the EU represented by German, Polish and other foreign ministers which stipulated reversal of state power more toward parliament and forced new presidential elections within 6 months. This was done without US participation and angered Vicki already suffering from PMS.

2. The killings started even while agreement was being signed and continued afterwards when Yanukovitch ordered police withdrawal. This was a prelude to a coup.

3. The coupe was perpetrated by Ukrainian security forces with fascist elements occupying leadership positions, including presidential guard disregarding its constitutional duty to protect the president, on orders from Washington which insisted on deposing Yanukovitch against European pleading.

4. Yanukovitch fled to the eastern Ukraine for his personal safety and his family, since his life was in immediate danger. He was left with few body guards to defend himself. When coupe’s hunting parties arrived in the east he fled to Russia. He did not abandon his post. He was unconstitutionally forced into exile retaining his prerogatives as president. The attempt to impeach him back in Kiev resulted in failure even after illegal threats of death or bodily injury and family intimidation directed toward Yanukovitch party members since it did not achieve constitutionally mandated super majority of votes. Legally he is still a President of Ukraine since he did not resign. As much as I personally dislike the guy who is just an oligarch like the gang currently in power in Kiev but theses are the facts.

5. The Russian military port city of Sevastopol was never annexed by Ukraine in 1954 and until 1993 was solely under Moscow’s military administration (and practically after 1993) as was any strategically located military installation dominated city in former Soviet Union, Kaliningrad and Murmansk are other examples. Ukrainians have zero claims over Crimean city of Sevastopol or any Crimean land as you may convince yourself by examining western political maps from just few decades ago.

6. Facing with illegal coupe in Kiev, Eastern regions demanded full autonomy from Kiev at least until legal government is established. The already autonomous, Russian dominated (90%) Crimea demanded independence. Both demands met with aggression. Fascist paramilitary from Svoboda and Right Sector started APC/tank raids in the east for effect of pure intimidation running over peaceful protesters in Slyaviansk and Mariupol. The Crimean’s did not want this to happened in their backyard and feeling support of 16,000 of Russian navy were bold enough to take over their land. It was true that Russians took over Crimea but these were Russians LIVING there for generations. Presence of Russian navy gave them confidence to act. Putin obviously was happy with the stand of his fellow ethnic Russians-Ukrainian citizens which play in his hands of strategic interests of keeping Crimea under Russian sphere of influence not only because of Sevastopol but also because massive electronic surveillance bases in Evpatoria and huge airfield in Simferopol and other strategic installations vital fro Russia national defense strategy.

Indeed!

The US has had a 'nuclear first strike' on the table since George Cretinous Bush withdrew the US from the ABM Treaty in 2002. Whether it is true that both Kristols and both Podhoretzes stood barefoot in snow for 3 days until Cretinous Bush heard their petition, has yet to be shown.

The plan has NEVER BEEN OFF THE TABLE.

First, the ex-Soviet countries would be invited (bribery that makes the FIFA indictments look like small potatoes).  If they acquitted themselves there they would be asked to join NATO and, as NATO members, if they were reluctant to host the NATO air force or install Patriot missiles near the Russian border, suddenly their EU balance of payments went south.

Although the Kremlin knew what the missile defense shield really was, they feigned interest in joining it and finding out what it was all about.

But really they turned their attention to doing what they did best ROCKETRY

The only difference is that Russians are much more concerned about human life than Americans.

A READING OF CURRENT EVENTS OF THE PAST 50 YEARS WILL INDUBITABLY PROVE THAT FACT.

That's the offense for Russia.  Now look at some of their defense:

I may be wrong, but I think Russia said nukes on their border meant Retaliation.

I think it would be economic first, as in all the banks' systems go down and Russia has the keys to restore them.

If everyone threatened by Zion and their plunder pledged to nuke Israel first and hardest, this shit show would come to a right quick end.

Zion would lose their tyranny base.

Liberty is a demand. Tyranny is submission.

 

If the American people demanded, violently insisted, that the Amongst leave our shores, the tyranny here would begin to come to an end as well.

I suspect Putin has a "dead man's switch."

I suspect part of that involves Israel as much as the Israeli occupied territory of Washington, D.C.

 

Do you recall Netanyahu going to meet with Putin some months ago?  He probably went expecting to cajole and threaten, and was probably told that if certain events happened to transpire, Zion would be rendered uninhabitable.

"Claiming that Russia has violated the INF Treaty by testing a banned ground-launched cruise missile"

 

 

This type of shit always makes me laugh. As if slaughtering each other is just fine and dandy, as long as you have rules dictating which methods you are allowed to use to slaughter each other with....."Okay, you can stab each other in the neck with a spear, but NO FUCKING FROG POISON ON THE TIP....WE GOTTA HAVE RULES FOR THIS!"

 

Shit, if you're gonna make ANY rules for war, why not just solve all disputes with a game of chess and save everyone the trouble?

 

Rules for war.........what a fucking joke.

dear frau merkel

zbigniew says ukraine is key.  ex nazi Soros incites insurrection causing instability.  NATO members call putin's defensive measures in Crimea agressive hegemony. NATO says putin's drunk donetzk minions shoot down MH17. no proof, just empty self serving allegations.  is this rational justification for the war you are stumbling into?

well frau merkel, are you happy to be playing with the big boyz now?  happy that you followed their delusional lead and killed your caviar producing golden goose?  happy that we're talking about nukes in europe again?

put your lame ass in the billionair bunker because THIS is your historic blunder.  this is your moment to be like george soros , doing the bidding of the bad guys. the sin of silence in the face of tyranny is tauught in german schools and you as a phd physics graduate certainly didn't miss that lesson. 

you have become the evil you emptily teach german children about.  we all see you actions, your capitulation, your conspiracy.

Two Ukraine Secret Service members, one foreign intellignce based in France, the other military intelligence based in Ukraine, have defected to Novorossia. They have confirmed that the US manipulated MH17 to discredit Russia. Not news of course, but nice to have it confirmed from the other side. They also state that Ukraine lost 6,000 - 7,000 dead in the Debaltseve cauldron earlier this year. I'm sure they have lots of other goodies - US plans to repalce Poroshenko with neo-Nazis from Svoboda (Social nationalist party) and Pravy Sektor  were mentioned.

WHEN do USA citizens take back their country from those domestic traitors???!

WHEN do USA citizens make it happen in their own lands "To bring REAL DEMOCRACY" ???!

If those things do not happen, don't be suprised the whole world takes a turn, without the USA.

They will stand up to their Goverment no more or less than the Germans stood against Hitler.The people are gullible and easily manipulated.Only after the destruction has occured,they understand but by then it's too late.Actually this is a rule of thumb for the markets as well: The mass of people always make the wrong choice so if you're a contrarian you do the opposite of what the masses do.You sell when they buy and buy when they sell.

Check your Hollyweird history, USSA doesn't do real armies.

...I’ve learned to hate Russians
All through my whole life
If another war starts
It’s them we must fight
To hate them and fear them
To run and to hide
And accept it all bravely
With God on my side

 

But now we got weapons
Of the chemical dust
If fire them we’re forced to
Then fire them we must
One push of the button
And a shot the world wide
And you never ask questions
When God’s on your side

 

Through many dark hour
I’ve been thinkin’ about this
That Jesus Christ
Was betrayed by a kiss
But I can’t think for you
You’ll have to decide
Whether Judas Iscariot
Had God on his side

So now as I’m leavin’

I’m weary as Hell
The confusion I’m feelin’
Ain’t no tongue can tell
The words fill my head
And fall to the floor
If God’s on our side
He’ll stop the next war

(c) Dylan 1963

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

But the next war is comin'

when we're all put to rest

and with destiny’s lying,

 we'll give it our best.,

and the evil and the greedy

now crush’s Jesus’ poor,

and the country is old

as God hits the door.
