Where Do Matters Stand?
Paul Craig Roberts
On the eve of World War II the United States was still mired in the Great Depression and found itself facing war on two fronts with Japan and Germany. However bleak the outlook, it was nothing compared to the outlook today.
Has anyone in Washington, the presstitute Western media, the EU, or NATO ever considered the consequences of constant military and propaganda provocations against Russia? Is there anyone in any responsible position anywhere in the Western world who has enough sense to ask: “What if the Russians believe us? What if we convince Russia that we are going to attack her?”
Nous passons notre temps à provoquer la Russie, par la propagande et les manoeuvres militaires. Nous proclamons que la Russie est notre ennemi et nous faisons en sorte qu’elle croit que nous allons l’attaquer. Personne dans le monde occidental ne se pose la question: que se passerait-il si les Russes nous croyaient? Que se passerait il si nous les convainquions que nous allons leur faire la guerre?
The same can be asked about China.
La même question peut êrte posée s’agissant de la Chine
The recklessness of the White House Fool and the media whores has gone far beyond mere danger. What do the Russians think when they see that the Democratic Party intends to elect Hillary Clinton president of the US? Hillary is a person so crazed that she declared the president of Russia to be “the new Hitler” and organized through her underling, neocon monster Victoria Nuland, the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Ukraine. Nuland installed Washington’s puppet government in a former Russian province that until about 20 years ago was part of Russia for centuries.
Sans cesse nous dépassont les limites du simple danger. Que peuevent penser les Russes lorsqu’ils voient le parti démocrate faire élire la néo -con va-t-en guerre Clinton qui est allé jusqu’à déclarer que Poutine était « le nouvel Hitler », the « new Hitler ». La protégée de Clinton, Victoria Nuland a installé en Ukraine un gouvernement fantoche, un gouvernement fantoche dans une province qui auparavant était Russe et qui a fait partie de la Russie pendant des siècles.
I would bet that this tells even the naive pro-western part of the Russian government and population that the United States intends war with Russia.
Ceci ne peut être compris , par la population Russe et même par les plus pro-occidentaux parmi les politiciens Russes que comme un signe que les Etats-Unis vont faire la guerre à la Russie.
Ever since Russia stood up to Obama over Syria, the Russians have been experiencing hostile propaganda and military operations on their borders. These provocations are justified by Washington and its NATO vassals as a response to “Russian aggression.”
Malgré la position constructive de la Russie sur la Syrie, nous continuons de les salir par la propagande et les opérations militaires à leurs frontières.
Russian aggression consists of nothing but obviously false assertions that Russia is about to invade the Baltics, Poland, and Romania and recreate the Soviet Empire, the Eastern European part of which, together with the former Russian provinces of Georgia and Ukraine, now belong to the American Empire.
Il n’y a aucune agression Russe, ce sont des asseerrtions fausses , tout comme les inventions sur la menace à l’égard des pays Baltes, de la Roumanie ou de la Pologne. La Russie ne récrée pas l’empire soviètique, les USA eux, étendent le leur sur toute la partie orientale .
The Russians know that the propaganda about “Russian aggression” is a lie. What is the purpose of the lie other than to prepare the Western peoples for war with Russia?
Quel est le but de ces mensonges américains si ce n’est de fabriquer un ennemi de toutes pièces et de préparer les peuples à la guerre avec la Russie.
There is no other explanation.
Il n’y a pas d’autre explication.
Even morons such as Obama, Merkel, Hollande, and Cameron should be capable of understanding that it is extremely dangerous to convince a major military power that you are going to attack. To simultaneously also convince China doubles the danger.
Même des crétins comme Obama, Merkel et Hollande et Cameron devraient être capables de comprendre qu’il est dangereux de convaincre une puissance militaire majeure du fait que vous allez l’ attaquer et le pire est que simulatnément vous persuadez la Chine que vous allez en faire autant avec elle.
Clearly, the West is incapable of producing leadership capable of preserving life on earth.What can be done when the entire West demonstrates a death wish for Planet Earth?
Que faire quand l’Ouest démontre un souhai qui met en danger de mort la planète?
Until the criminal regimes of Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama, American presidents from John F. Kennedy forward worked to reduce tensions with the Soviets. Kennedy worked with Khrushchev to reduce tensions caused by US missiles in Turkey and Soviet missiles in Cuba. President Nixon negotiated SALT I (the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty) and the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty. President Carter negotiated SALT II, which was never ratified by the US Senate but was observed by the executive branch. President Reagan negotiated with Soviet leader Gorbachev the end of the Cold War. President George H.W. Bush in exchange for Gorbachev’s agreement to the reunification of Germany promised that NATO would not move one inch to the East.
Jusqu’à Clinton, Bush et Obama, les présidents américains ont oeuvré pour réduire les tensions et négocié des accords en ce sens. Et surtout, le Président George H W Bush s’est engagé auprès de Gorbatchev à ne pas étendre l’OTAN à l’Est en échange de son accord sur la réunification allemande.
All of these achievements were thrown away by the neoconized Clinton, George W. Bush, and Obama regimes, each a criminal regime on par with Nazi Germany.
Tous ces acquis ont été détruits par les néo-cons que sont Clinton, Georges W Bush et Obama.
Today life on Planet Earth is far less secure than during the darkest days of the Cold War. Whatever threat global warming poses, it is miniscule compared to the threat of nuclear winter. If the evil that is concentrated in Washington and its vassals perpetrates nuclear war, cockroaches will inherit the earth.
La vie est devenue moins sure que pendant les heures les plus noires de la Guerre Froide. Le réchauffement climatique est un risque miniscule en regard du risque d’un hiver nucléaire.
Suite non traduite car non directement reliée au sujet. Simplement PCR dit qu’il ne faut pas compter sur l’intelliegence des citoyens américains pour éviter la guerre, ils sont désinfomées, stupides et va-t-en guerre. Ils étaient pour une guerre nuclèaire contre l’Iran!!!
….I have been warning about the growing danger of a nuclear war resulting from the arrogance, hubris, ignorance, and evil personified by Washington. Recently, four knowledgable Russian-Americans spelled out the likely consequences of trying to drive Russia to submission with war threats:http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2016/06/03/41522/
Don’t expect the brainwashed American population to have the moral conscience and fortitude to prevent nuclear war or even the intelligence to prevent their own vaporization. In a recent article in the Wall Street Journal Scott Sagan and Benjamin Valentino report that 59% of the US population support attacking Iran with nuclear weapons in the event that Iran sank one US Navy ship:http://www.wsj.com/articles/would-the-u-s-drop-the-bomb-again-1463682867
Republicans were much more likely than Democrats to approve attacking Iran with nuclear weapons with 81% of Republicans approving nuclear war compared to 47% of Democrats. Yet, the Democrats are behind Hillary who would be the first to use nuclear weapons. After all, a feminized woman has to prove how tough she is, just as Margaret Thatcher was “the Iron Lady.”
Before it it too late for Americans and all of humanity, arrogant Americans need to recall that “those who live by the sword, die by the sword.”
The economic picture is equally dismal and unpromising. The latest payroll jobs report was even more awful than reported. Hardly any new jobs were created, but what largely escaped reporting is the fact that the economy actually lost 59,000 full-time jobs.
Increasingly the US economy consists of part-time jobs that cannot support an independent existence. Thus, more Americans age 19-34 live at home with parents than independently with spouses or partners. Fully half of 25-year old Americans live in their childhood rooms in their parents’ homes.
This is the “New Economy” that the filthy lying neoliberal economists promised would be reward for the American work force giving up their manufacturing and professional skill jobs to foreigners. What a monstrous lie the neoliberal economists told so that corporate executives and shareholders could put into their own pockets the living wage of the American work force. These neoliberal economists, and, alas, libertarian “free market” ones, have not been held accountable for their impoverishment of the American work force deeply buried in debt with no future prospects.
Those few Americans who have any awareness are beginning to realize that the One Percent and the western governments that serve them are re-establishing feudalism. The brilliant and learned economist, Michael Hudson, has labeled our era the era of neo-feudalism.
He is correct. The majority of young Americans come out of university heavily indebted, primed for debtor prison. When half of 25-year olds cannot marry and form households, how can anyone believe that housing sales and prices are rising except as a result of speculative investors banking on rental income from a population that cannot even pay its student loans.
The United States is the sickest place on earth. There is no public or political discussion of any important issue or of the multiple crises that confront America or the crises that America brings to the world.
The American people are so stupid and unaware that they are capable of electing a criminal and a warmonger like Hillary president of the United States and be proud of it.
These “tough” Americans are so frightened of hoax dangers, such as “Muslim terrorists” and “Russian aggression” that they willingly sacrificed their depleted pocketbooks, the Constitution of the United States—an act of treason on the part of the American people who utterly failed their responsibility to protect the Constitution—and their own liberty to a universal police state that has all power over them.
It is extraordinary that once-proud, once-great European peoples look for leadership from a country of moronic non-entities who have pissed away the liberty, security, and prosperity that their Founding Fathers gave to them.
Fellow Americans, if you care to avoid vaporization and, assuming we do avoid it, live a life other than serfdom, you must wake up and realize that your most deadly enemy is Washington, not the hoax of “Russian aggression,” not the hoax of “Muslim terrorism,” not the hoax of “domestic extremism,” not the hoax of welfare bankrupting America, not the hoax of democracy voting away your wealth, which Wall Street and the corporations have already stolen and stuck in their pockets.
If you cannot wake up and escape The Matrix, your doom will bring the doom of the planet.
