*Are the rulers itching for a war?
On March 24th, Ukraine’s President Vladimir Zelensky signed what was essentially a declaration of war on Russia. In the document, titled Presidential Decree No. 117/2021, the US-backed Ukrainian leader declared that it is the official policy of Ukraine to take back Crimea from Russia.
The declaration that Ukraine would take back Crimea from Russia also followed, and was perhaps instigated by, President Biden’s inflammatory and foolish statement that “Crimea is Ukraine.”
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was a chief architect of the US-backed coup against Ukraine in 2014, continued egging on the Ukrainians, promising full US support for the “territorial integrity” of Ukraine. Many Americans wonder why they are not even half as concerned about the territorial integrity of the United States!
Not to be outdone, at the beginning of this month US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin – who previously served on the board of missile-maker Raytheon – called his counterpart in Ukraine and promised “unwavering US support for Ukraine’s sovereignty.” As the US considers Crimea to be Ukrainian territory, this is clearly a clear green light for Kiev to take military action.
Washington is also sending in weapons. Some 300 tons of new weapons have arrived in the past weeks and more is on the way.
As could be expected, Moscow has responded to Zelensky’s decree and to the increasingly bellicose rhetoric in Kiev and Washington by re-positioning troops and other military assets closer to its border with Ukraine. Does anyone doubt that if the US were in the same situation – for example, if China installed a hostile and aggressive government in Mexico – the Pentagon might move troops in a similar manner?
But according to the media branch of the US military-industrial-Congressional-media complex, Russian troop movements are not a response to clear threats from a neighbor, but instead are just more “Russian aggression.”
The unhinged US “experts” behind the 2014 coup against the elected Ukrainian president are back in power and they are determined to finish the job – even if it means World War III! The explicit US backing of Ukraine’s military ambitions in the region are a blank check to Kiev.
But it is a check that Kiev would be wise to avoid cashing. Back in 1956 the US government pumped endless propaganda into Hungary promising military backing for an uprising against its Soviet occupiers. When the Hungarians, believing Washington’s lies, did rise up they found themselves all alone and facing Soviet retaliation.
Despite the cruel US propaganda, at least Eisenhower was wise enough to realize that no one would benefit from a nuclear war over Budapest.
Why is it any of our business whether Crimea is part of Ukraine or part of Russia? Why is it any of our business if the Russian-speaking population of eastern Ukraine prefer being aligned with Russia?
Why, for that matter, are unproven allegations of Russian meddling in our elections a violation of the “rules-based international order” but an actual US-backed coup against an elected Ukrainian government is not?
We are seeing foreign policy made by Raytheon and the other US military contractors, through cut-outs in government like Austin and others. Feckless US foreign policy “experts” believe their own propaganda about Russia and are on the verge of taking us to war over it.
It seems as if Americans are sleepwalking through this dangerous minefield. Let us hope they soon wake up before we’re all blown up.

Crimea votes to join Russia, Obama orders sanctions – news.yahoo – By Alissa de Carbonnel and Luke Baker SIMFEROPOL, Ukraine/BRUSSELS (Reuters) March 6, 2014
The good people of the Crimea have the right to determine their future without the USA’s and Biden’s interference.
Russia has much to worry about US election interference and the collusion of the Biden administration.
Elections aren’t rocket science.
The Russians aren’t as stupid and dumbed down as we are with our no-ID voting and programmable, internet connectable “voting” machines. The US federals may rock the Russian world with color revolutions and sabotage but I don’t believe uncle sam (uncle fester?) can interfere in Russian elections.

Any war Ukraine may conduct against Russia is hopeless, they are likely being egged on by elements of the prez-JB’s admin., and the US gov’t, who are not acting on behalf of the Amer. people. A war so foolish there has to be other reasons why Ukraine is being manipulated. There is absolutely zero at stake here that presents a threat to the US.
This is the same when Sen. John McCain told the Georgians we have their back and instructed them to keep goading and provoking the Russians. Even with all the weapons the Georgians received, that war lasted less than two days, with a large chuck of their territory permanently ceded to Russia. That was a major embarrassment for the US and neo-con policy makers, and Ukrainian war with Russia will be too.
It’s obvious prez-JB isn’t making the decisions, it’s his staff who are either part of or controlled my neo-cons. Let’s be honest, prez-JB is little more than a puppet, merely the public face, the office holder who can give neo-con policy the stamp of official approval. Neo-cons hate Russia in particular for a number reasons. Russia is too big and too powerful to be bullied, and they will not allow themselves to be fit into the neo-cons global plan for hegemony, it also can stymie Israel’s plan for greater hegemony in the Mid-East. Another reason is that the Russian nation is re-Christianizing, and has basically completely repudiated Marxism, for some reason the neo-cons especially hate these facts. The neo-cons were conciliatory with the USSR when it was communist, but now they are venomous against present day Russia.
We do not have a gov’t that is of, by, or for the people. It exists as a tool for the hyper wealthy, hyper powerful, and for a variety of other groups of nameless or faceless people who use it to accomplish their goals. And you are considered nothing more than a managed disposable resource.
Behind the hostility against Rissia always hide the Rotschilds, who have been hating Russia since the Congress of Vienna in 1815… a long story! Marxism was one of their revenge, and since Putin has brought back Russia to international status big time, their hatred has never abatted.
To find who is pushing a war against Russia, don’t look further than the Rotschilds, the well hidden rulers of the world. All the others are just actors in their play.
“continued egging on the Ukrainians, promising full US support for the “territorial integrity” of Ukraine.”
Sometimes, the expected help never comes, when the US wants to weaken it’s allies, abroad.
“Many Americans wonder why they are not even half as concerned about the territorial integrity of the United States!”
Do the illegal, alien replacements come with subsidies from the global govt.
Once that money is spent, there are vaccine side effects, and several historical instances of deportation in which birthright citizenship of 3-4 generations was disregarded.
Further, it is not in the basic nature of nomadic migrants to remain, during Earth changes, under civil unrest, or where resources are depleted.
“Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed. We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reacheth unto heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.”
–Jer 51:7-9
