Paul Craig Roberts – paulcraigroberts.org Feb 17, 2022
The other day I asked, “What is Washington up to?” It is already time to ask that question again.
While writing my article suggesting that only a judicious use of Russian force would sober up the West, Washington doubled down on its anti-Russian position, predicting in two news venues–the Secretary of State’s UN speech and the State Department spokesman’s press briefing–that Russia was about to launch a false flag attack that Russia would use as the excuse to invade Ukraine.
The State Department claims are pure fantasy. Why after just rejecting the Russian’s proposal for a mutual security agreement does the Biden regime keep fanning the flames of war?
It makes no sense for the State Department to predict something that is not going to happen. As there is no aerial or satellite evidence or evidence of any kind except assertions that “US intelligence has concluded” of a constellation of attack forces on Ukraine’s border, the only way the State Department could know of a false flag event would be if it is a US false flag attack for which Russia is being set up for blame.
We have heard excessively about 150,000 invasion troops allegedly assembled on Ukraine’s border with Russia. We have not heard about 150,000 British and US trained Ukrainian troops on the border of the Donbass republics. We have not heard about the massive arms that the West has sent to Ukraine or about the CIA trained neo-Nazi militias. If we hear anything, we hear that these Ukrainian forces are there to protect against a Russian invasion, a statement that is nonsensical. Why would the Ukrainian forces be concentrated on the Donbass border? The Russians would simply come in behind them, and the Ukrainians would be trapped between the Russians and the Donbass forces. How is it possible that US and UK military advisers would make such a mistake?
The Saker reports that the latest information from Donbass is that the Ukrainians are using UR-77 mine clearing vehicles to clear mines from the Donbass border. This is the operation that is conducted just prior to a ground attack.
It would seem that if any invasion is planned, it is a Ukrainian invasion of Donbass calculated to bring the Russians in. The report of an invasion of Donbass would be labeled a Russian false flag attack, and the Russian intervention would become the predicted invasion. If anything happens, I think I have described it.
Washington has prepared the narrative with Blinken’s UN address today and with the State Department spokesman’s press briefing. NATO and the Western media know the narrative and would repeat it endlessly. No actual facts would enter the story. Those who challenge the new narrative would be accused of being Russian agents. Sanctions would be imposed. The military/security complex’s budget would be increased. Europe would be pressured off Russian natural gas. US/NATO military presence on Russia’s border would be beefed up.
The growing burden of deceit and frustration will one day make Russia dangerous. To forestall an explosion of fury, Russia needs to enforce its red lines now. Washington needs to be taught a lesson before Washington goes too far.
Update: The scenario I sketched appears to be unfolding. In an “intelligence update” the British defense minister stated that reports from Donbass of “alleged abnormal military activity by Ukraine in Donbas are a blatant attempt by the Russian government to fabricate pretexts for invasion.” The incompetent British Defence Ministry has prepared a map with arrows drawn of the lines of advance of the Russian forces. As the Ukrainian army is concentrated on the Donbass border, there are no forces for the Russians to encounter in their advance along 9 lines of invasion imagined by the British. https://www.rt.com/russia/549776-uk-military-russia-invasion-map/
Yep, could all be true, but I doubt the 150k UKrainian forces are all UKrainian.
Very difficult to know how many mercenaries the UK and US have in Ukraine, but my guess is a substantial number. Neck out, 60k, and these will be ex special forces and from the top combat forces from Western nations, & they’ll be on good retainers and mega bonuses if they fight. More QE, its just more sheeple debt, and no one cares about the debt anymore – 2040’s micronova.
If fighting starts and the Russians pick up intel (they know this already, but facts after fighting are key) that MI6 and UK forces are active in UKraine, then all bets are off, because I wouldn’t be surprised if Russia hit the UK directly. So what extent, I don’t know, but we could see UK based military assets destroyed.
Some might know, a few (lol) might have read my comments about the near secret was which has been fought in London, in parts of the UK, & parts of Europe. This war has been raging for nearly 20yrs. The respective deep states hate each other with a passion, and I am pretty sure some in the Russian deep state, and maybe even Putin, would love to take the UK down. I very much doubt the US and other NATO states will back the UK, because they all know what has been going on. The BIG investment banks screwed Lehman Brothers, because the head guy (forgot the parasites name) at Lehmans was a nutjob, he didn’t want to deals and win, he wanted to destroy the opposition… this isn’t the idea, these big IB’s usually work together. The UK is a bit like Lehmans. Even Biden says UK trade deal is not a priority, and the UK now seeks deals with individual US states, this is representative of how the US views the UK, & the UK knows this, hence the fact that the UK has set out on a new imperialist adventure. I really don’t see the US helping out the UK. The Germans and French will be gaming this, & as I said, they will be considering their futures in NATO.
Replay of 1939, only this time it is Russia, not Germany.
War is coming both in the U.S (Civil War) and in the Ukraine. History has been falsified for a long time now. The key to understand Russia is, military bases that can be used to launch a nuclear attack with a flight time of missiles, 5 minutes to the Russian capital of Moscow, and that is unacceptable.
Greed and EVIL, the main driving force of the Western Nations.
Committee of 300, Club of Rome etc..
“What is Washington up to?”
That question is based on the assumption that our elected government is running the show. ZOG is in charge, ZOG wags the dog.
Q: Why is US-UK-Israel trying to bog down Russia in a war in Ukraine?
A: Because Israel/US lap dog want to launch a nuclear strike into Iran.
None of their propaganda will matter a damn when the nukes begin to fly. No-one will be there to read it.
@Black Pete..only difference is Britain-France won’t declare war on Russia, like they did with Germany, since Putin is a Chabad Lubavitch agent..
Come to think of it they didn’t declare war on Russia in 1939 either, even though the USSR invaded Poland along with Germany….oh that’s right, Stalin like Putin was another Judeo-Communist agent of the Jewish Overlords..
@jahi sami ..Committee of 300, Club of Rome etc..? You must be Mr. Roberts secretary spouting off the same old tired spin. About we mention the real culprits of our planet’s woes…”the international Jew”. Mystic Yogi?…yeah Right!
@ BLACK PETE
BUT PUTIN IS NOT CLAIMING
ANY CORRIDOR TO KALININGRAD
THROUGH LITUANIA .
where were those 2 nukes ignited ?
look : jim stone.is
Quote:We have not heard about 150,000 British and US trained Ukrainian troops on the border of the Donbass republics.
&….. When they’ll invade Russia, within 48 Hrs they will be parading on the Red Square in Moscow ?? Of course escorted by the Russian Army & then they will have a well deserved R & R at Club Med Magadan & Club Med Kolyma …
It’s always “Washington” with PCR… never a mention of who pulls the strings in Washington and we all know who that is.
Thanks “Steve K” above for mentioning this fact…..”Its always the CIA etc”.
So it wasn’t the jews who assassinated JFK…..”it was the CIA” According to Roberts.
Roberts MAY be a crypto jew OR theyve got blackmailable stuff on him.(perhaps he may be a gay??.).
These Ukrainian “neo Nazis” don’t make any sense either since the upper echelons of the Ukrainian government are all jews…..including the former comedian PM.
THE klictchko boxers are said to be crypto jews.One of them is a Mayor of a major city…..So this Neo Nazi stuff sounds like propaganda.
Now recall the ww2 Nazis in Germany.
The top Nazi on the Eastern Front was named,curiously,…ROSENBERG!!.Now that’s a good Aryan name ain’t it.
And if you’re planning a Reich of a thousand years….you’d start the Aryan Reich with a zio-runt like Gobby Goebbels with his inherited birth defect,a club foot…..NOT!.
germany was a great country once it removed the jews from power
we should do the same here in the UK
https://www.rt.com/news/549997-intelligence-russia-china-interview/
the game of the international Jew hell-bent to enslave humanity. if Putin’s forces send a couple of hyper-sonic to the ‘chosen’ main military infrastructure world peace will prevail.
As usual….my comment concerning PCR was NOT published….
