One statement reported on by FT basically says it all, making it clear that Russia is gearing up for World War III and there is nothing that can stop it at this point.
The initial story is about the recent news of a $50 billion judgement against Russia, and the details of that can be seen at the FT article (free subscription) and in the video below, but it is the last paragraph of the FT article about a statement made by a person close to Russian President Vladimir Putin, that really brings the reality of what is coming, home.
One person close to Mr Putin said the Yukos ruling was insignificant in light of the bigger geopolitical stand-off over Ukraine. “There is a war coming in Europe,” he said. “Do you really think this matters?”
That is what everyone has been gearing up for. That is why the Ukraine situation was set up, orchestrated and preparations are being made to pull out old war plans from the cold war era.
WW III is what all of it has been about and we were warned consistently that this would happen because when global economies are ready to crash, war is the option TPTB always fall back to.
Im with Archie,
not one bit of this would happened if the uSSa had kept its bloody evil moneygrubbing hands outta the eu and ukraine particularly.
Archie1954 blames the US. While he makes several very good points I can’t totally agree. My own nation (UK) and France have been eager to support White House interventions in the domestic poitics of sovereign nations (the FUKUS axis) and this has provoked Russia so much they’re in not backing down mode. And China are supporting them.
Whether it will come to bombs and bullets is not clear but with Russia and China leading the rest of the BRICS in de-dollarisation, the economic war has already begun.
I totally blame the US for this egregious state of affairs. It is beyond belief that the US government thinks it can win a nuclear war. Believe me when I say, it can’t. If it doesn’t stop this foolish run up to out right war it will pay in dividends for its stupidity and arrogance. All those ignorant Republican warmongers are going to pay for their degeneracy with death. They will be incinerated along with their scumbag spawn. That is not such a terrible thing if it will give us the Bible’s thousand years of peace. Still I would prefer it didn’t happen because all of the innocent haters of war would be incinerated along with the Republican guilty. Do you understand Senator McCain?
