J-William Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 So I had the misfortune of clicking on a WashintonPost article, and it sounds like the WaPo is yearning for WWIII. War in Europe is not a hysterical idea Extend NATO’s umbrella to Montenegro and Macedonia The West must make Mr. Putin pay for his aggression All of these articles are laying groundwork for a confrontation between the US and Russia (or at least proxies) They all drop the context of what the US and NATO have been doing. Ie the US starting a half dozen aggressive wars, and NATO expanding up to Russian borders etc... Not to mention the context of Putin's domestic situation. He has to manage factions that want war and those who don't, as well as still looking like a man standing up for Russian interests while NATO appears to be walling up Russia. If NATO completes the task Putin and his cronies may have to pack in a hurry for warmer climes, and the guys who replace him will probably have far itchier trigger fingers. And if they start WWIII because Putin made the entire Obama administration look like rank amateurs with their heads firmly implanted in their asses during their ramp up to war with Syria... Well it'll be a sad day for "humanity".
tiepolo Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 What if they tried to start a war and no foolish goyim turned up to kill each other? 1
PGP Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Might just be my own perception but I cannot remember as much dangerous rhetoric and outright lies from politicians and their lackies in the media as there is now. I'm not so sure people in Europe and the US will buy it this time though. I think people are genuinely sick of all this stuff.
John CEFD Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 No doubt the situation there is pretty messed up; and trying to understand things is all around confuse, given the russians are pretty good at desinformation.If someone is interested, Jeffrey Nyquist blog (jrnyquist.com), has really good articles about the situation in Ukraine. Some of them are: Russia Prepares for War; Is Moscow Abandoning the Nationalists at home and the Rebels in Ukraine?; Strategic Possibilities and Dialectical Games.
RandR10 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I think they'll wait for some new financial crisis to precipitate before the western powers commit to an all out hot war with Russia, if they ever do. It remains to be seen if they'll get their opportunity sooner than later.
