Western strategy against Russia

As events move very quickly trying to make sense of things is a collective endeavour and so I am grateful for well-considered input.

It is clear that the West is trying to desperately to pull Russia into war with every provocation, but so far is failing. Now we have Brezinski calling for Ukraine to be armed by the West and it looks as if the West is moving mitlitary equipment eastwards.

Make not mistake, these are dangerous time – even more so than in those days in winter 2011 when Mike Ruppert and others of us were convinced that there was going to be war over Iran.

This time it is not Syria or even Iran – war is being brought to Russia's backdoor, and how long they can tolerate these incursions is anyone's guess

I would like to offer these comments by a Facebook friend, Michael Green

Tanks rolling to the East

Trains loaded with tanks and weapons are already rolling. The photos and comments from Vladimir Suchan are posted on my timeline. Brzezinski already knows that. So do Obama and NATO. All they're trying to do is sell it to their people, while keeping the bigger lie from them (America's and NATO's support of Hitler). Moreover, there are reports that Victoria Nuland's good friend "Yats" has already gotten his hands on some very dirty, highly radioactive material. The Right Sector openly declared its intent to do just that a month or so ago. Any allusion to "talks" and "negotiations", therefore, borders on the psychotic.

We all liked Peter, Paul and Mary, but that was then and this is now. Just as we crossed over the tipping point with Fukushima and Climate Change, we have also crossed over the line in the Ukraine. America is, in fact, already at war. Frankly, I have as little interest at this point in hearing from those who would try to sell us on the wonderfulness of "Peace and MLK" as I have in hearing from the Vichy liberal class. Maybe later, yes. But right now, on any number of fronts, we must contend with the inevitabilities.

Our options and decision-points have dwindled now to almost nothing. Right now, we're on a roller coaster car, and it is moving with ever-increasing speed. I, for one, am emphatically not interested in the hospice trope. I am not in any hospice, which is itself a mental construct. I am, rather, in the present moment, which is multidimensional in scope and intimately connected to the process now unfolding. You may have a different calling, and it's to be treated with respect. But mine, as I see it, is mostly to bear witness to the process relating to our time - the time of the Eschaton, so called - an amazing time to be alive, the most amazing in the entire history of sapiens and, quite possibly, the planet.

An impression from a haiku-writing Czech hermit: It seems that the NATO plan was, indeed, to push Russia through the baiting massacres by the fascist junta in Ukraine to intervene militarily in Ukraine in order to "reciprocate" by invading Ukraine from the West, which would most likely include an occupation of Kiev as well as Odessa. NATO has been readying its own invasion force.

_{More tanks for the "eastern" This picture was taken today at the train station Dresden-Friedrichstadt in Germany and left in the direction of the Czech Republic. One month ago 288 cobat tanks had been rolling Austria in the direction on Hungary. All of these tanks are not of 'defensive' type but for heavy attack combat. Unlike the tanks that rolled through Austria, hiding their insignia, these tanks showed German insignia. Western media is lying about the amount of heavy weapons transports eastwards. NATO plans to invade Russia.}

This is what America's “official organ” (aka the mouthpiece of the elite) is saying. We have heard ad nausem that “Russia is going to invade”, “Russia is going to invade”. Now that it is clear that message has failed the narrative is changing

NATO: Russia Might Achieve Goals in Eastern Ukraine Without Invasion

NY Times,

5 May, 2014

OTTAWA — NATO's top military commander in Europe said on Monday he no longer thought regular Russian troops would enter eastern Ukraine, predicting Moscow could achieve its goals through the unconventional forces stirring up trouble there.

U.S. Air Force General Philip Breedlove said it was a completely false Russian narrative that it was only Ukrainians rebelling in the east of their country, saying it was clear that special forces troops from Russia were operating there as they did in Crimea before its annexation.

"Remember that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin denied their presence and now he has admitted to their presence in Crimea. The same thing will come out of Ukraine as time rolls out," he told a military and diplomatic audience in Ottawa.

"Exactly what we saw in Crimea is being mirrored in eastern Ukraine," added Breedlove.

Russia has massed tens of thousands of troops on its border with eastern Ukraine, prompting fears that Moscow might send ground forces in to protect the rights of ethnic Russians.

Breedlove said that until a week ago, he thought the most likely military response from Russia would be to send in troops to southern Ukraine and secure a land bridge to the peninsula of Crimea - which voted in March to join Russia - before possibly pushing on toward the Black Sea port of Odessa and then further west toward Moldova.

"Today I would tell you I don't think that's the most likely course of action ... I think now that Putin may be able to accomplish his objectives in eastern Ukraine and never go across the border with his forces," he said.

"Now I think probably the most likely course of action is that he will continue doing what he's doing - discrediting the government, creating unrest, trying to set the stage for a separatist movement," and that would make it easier to cement Moscow's military and economic hold on eastern Ukraine, Breedlove added.

"In that case, I think it's the most troublesome for NATO because if the forces do not come across the border, my guess is that many will want to try to quickly go back to business as usual, and I, for one, do not believe annexing Crimea is business as usual."

Shortly before his public remarks, Breedlove discussed Ukraine and Russia in a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, who told reporters beforehand that the escalation of violence in Ukraine appeared clearly to be "a slow-motion invasion on the part of the Putin regime."

Breedlove did not go as far as to say whether operatives from Russia had fired the missiles that have been downing Ukrainian helicopters. At least three helicopters have been shot down in the last week.

It also appeared that some missiles have gone missing from a local Ukrainian weapons storage depot, so he said he would not jump to the conclusion that it was direct Russian involvement, but he would not preclude it either.

More broadly in terms of NATO policy, he said, Russia's actions in Ukraine had demonstrated that it was not acting like a partner, and this should prompt more members of the NATO alliance to boost their defense spending toward the agreed target of 2 percent of gross domestic product.

"We have come from a period where we saw Russia as a partner," he said. "We are now in a very, very different time, and I think individual nations need to take this aboard and consider."

Brzezinski Calls for Sending Weapons to Regime in Ukraine

Global Research,

2 May, 2014

Top level globalist and Rockefeller confidant Zbigniew Brzezinski has mounted the pages of Politico to call for more pointed U.S. involvement in Ukraine.

“It is more than a month since the Russians annexed Crimea, and recent events have only exacerbated the crisis, with pro-Russian rebels reportedly shooting down two Ukrainian helicopters in separatist-held Slaviansk on Friday. Yet the president still hasn’t laid out a comprehensive statement of what is really at stake,” writes the co-founder of the Trilateral Commission.

Indirectly calling Russian President Vladimir Putin a “thug,” Brzezinski says “we have an obligation to help Ukraine.” He characterizes the crisis as “the most important challenge to the international system since the end of the Cold War” and tells Obama he desperately needs to issue “a comprehensive statement of what is really at stake” and address “the American people on this issue… He needs the support of the American people. Thus he has to convince them that this is important and that his stand deserves both national understanding and support.”

In late April, a Rasmussen Reports poll indicated nearly 60 percent of Americans believe the situation in Ukraine does not concern the United States. On April 28, a USA TODAY/Pew Research Center Poll found Americans overwhelmingly oppose the idea of sending arms or military supplies to Ukraine.

Despite this disapproval by the American people, Brzezinski writes “we should be more open to helping the Ukrainians defend themselves if they’re attacked. The Ukrainians will fight only if they think they will eventually get some help from the West, particularly in supplies of the kind of weaponry that will be necessary to wage a successful urban defense. They’re not going to beat the Russians out in the open field, where thousands of tanks move in. They can only beat them through prolonged urban resistance. Then the war’s economic costs would escalate dramatically for the Russians, and it would become futile politically. But to be able to defend a city, you have to have handheld anti-tank weaponry, handheld rockets and some organization.

Arizona Senator John McCain has led the call in Congress to arm the junta in Ukraine.

Brzezinski, a notorious Russophobe, employed a similar tactic when he was Jimmy Carter’s National Security Advisor. He was instrumental using U.S. taxpayer money to covertly arm the Afghan Mujahideen to fight against the Soviet Union. Factions within the Mujahideen would eventually become the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

In 1998, he told Le Nouvel Observateur the CIA’s “secret operation was an excellent idea” and “had the effect of drawing the Russians into the Afghan trap” and “giving to the USSR its Vietnam war. Indeed, for almost 10 years, Moscow had to carry on a war unsupportable by the government, a conflict that brought about the demoralization and finally the breakup of the Soviet empire.”

Asked if he regretted lending a hand in the creation of radical and terrorist Islamic groups, the ever testy Brzezinski replied: “What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?”

The State Department’s less than covert installation of a gang of ultra-nationalists and fascists in Kyiv is evidence enough the “liberation of Central Europe” – apparently, for Brzezinski, Russia is Eastern Europe – is an ongoing project.

Now that Brzezinski has issued a public statement on Ukraine and called for arming Russophobes in that country — many who have long expressed their desire to ethnically cleanse and kill not only Russians, but Jews and Poles (Brzezinski is Polish) — we can conclude the global elite have decided to foster a civil war along Russia’s western border.
