Force the adversary to expand recklessly in order to unbalance him, and then destroy him. This is not the description of a judo hold, but a plan against Russia elaborated by the Rand Corporation, the most influential think tank in the USA. With a staff of thousands of experts, Rand presents itself as the world’s most reliable source for Intelligence and political analysis for the leaders of the United States and their allies.
The Rand Corp prides itself on having contributed to the elaboration of the long-term strategy which enabled the United States to win the Cold War, by forcing the Soviet Union to consume its own economic resources in the strategic confrontation.
It is this model which was the inspiration for the new plan, Overextending and Unbalancing Russia, published by Rand [1].

According to their analysts, Russia remains a powerful adversary for the United States in certain fundamental sectors. To handle this opposition, the USA and their allies will have to pursue a joint long-term strategy which exploits Russia’s vulnerabilities. So Rand analyses the various means with which to unbalance Russia, indicating for each the probabilities of success, the benefits, the cost, and the risks for the USA.
Rand analysts estimate that Russia’s greatest vulnerability is that of its economy, due to its heavy dependency on oil and gas exports. The income from these exports can be reduced by strengthening sanctions and increasing the energy exports of the United States. The goal is to oblige Europe to diminish its importation of Russian natural gas, and replace it by liquefied natural gas transported by sea from other countries.
Another way of destabilising the Russian economy in the long run is to encourage the emigration of qualified personnel, particularly young Russians with a high level of education.
In the ideological and information sectors, it would be necessary to encourage internal contestation and at the same time, to undermine Russia’s image on the exterior, by excluding it from international forums and boycotting the international sporting events that it organises.
In the geopolitical sector, arming Ukraine would enable the USA to exploit the central point of Russia’s exterior vulnerability, but this would have to be carefully calculated in order to hold Russia under pressure without slipping into a major conflict, which it would win.
In the military sector, the USA could enjoy high benefits, with low costs and risks, by increasing the number of land-based troops from the NATO countries working in an anti-Russian function.
The USA can enjoy high probabilities of success and high benefits, with moderate risks, especially by investing mainly in strategic bombers and long-range attack missiles directed against Russia.
Leaving the INF Treaty and deploying in Europe new intermediate-range nuclear missiles pointed at Russia would lead to high probabilities of success, but would also present high risks.
By calibrating each option to gain the desired effect – conclude the Rand analysts – Russia would end up by paying the hardest price in a confrontation, but the USA would also have to invest huge resources, which would therefore no longer be available for other objectives. This is also prior warning of a coming major increase in USA/NATO military spending, to the disadvantage of social budgets.
This is the future that is planned out for us by the Rand Corporation, the most influential think tank of the Deep State – in other words the underground centre of real power gripped by the economic, financial, and military oligarchies – which determines the strategic choices not only of the USA, but all of the Western world.
The “options” set out by the plan are in reality no more than variants of the same war strategy, of which the price in sacrifices and risks is paid by us all.

That]s because the USA worked overtime to turn Russia into the Great Enemy.
It’s not what the American people wanted. They voted for Trump in the (probably delusional) belief that he was going to stop all that. And that’s why Trump became the media’s great villain from 2016 on.
What’s the REAL reason the ruling class, and not just in the US, hate Russia? The ruling class of the West hates Russia — and their own people? Odd.
a new supermarket opened near my house
it has an automatic water mister to keep the produce fresh.
Just before it comes on you hear the sound of distant thunder
with the smell of fresh rain.
When you approach the milk cases you hear cows mooing
and experience the scent of fresh hay.
When you approach the egg case you hear hens cluck and cackle
and the air is filled with the pleasing aroma of bacon and eggs frying.

Whether or not russia falls is entirely dependent on whether or not the rest of the world supports them and breaks away from the fascist jackboot of “great” britain and the jew-sa. Just like in all the rancid cesspools masquerading as “countries” in the west, all it actually takes is for the victims to stand up together and tell their abusers to die in a fire. That, in my opionion, will never happen in fascist britain, because every british person is also a fascist. In the rest of the world it may be different.
Good ol Vern,
Please do a wee bit of research and stop parrotting jew narratives!
Fascism was formed in Italy in the 1920’s solely to fight against bolshevism/communism/marxism which was slaughtering millions of Christians in the soviet union at the time. Once Fascism won Itlay thrived and was peaceful until outbreak of WW2.
I wish every person in Britain was a Fascist, then, we would be living in a good and honest land. Fascism was finally destroyed by the jews in Britain at the start of WW2 when they sent the top Fascists to jail for the 5 years of the war under ‘regulation 18B’ (no charge, no trial, no habeus corpus, just straight to jail).
Your head is full of jew controlled opposition truther bullshit. Fascism was opposed violently by jews in Britain because they knew it was the way to undo all the power they held in Britain. They then did their usual lying turnaround and claimed it was the fascists who were the violent ones when, in fact, the Fascists were for the people of the country and against violence and war.
Read this excellent book on British Fascism written by Oswald Mosley:

@Franz…”The ruling class of the West hates Russia — and their own people? Odd.”
I find it not odd, but the bloody truth.
Evidence that U.S. Intends Blitz-Nuclear Strike at The Kremlin
“Alexander Mercouris headlined on October 29th, “Biden quietly moves world closer towards armageddon. Finland ready to host nukes”, and discussed the U.S. plan to trap Russia by positioning its nuclear missiles about 500 miles or 7 minutes of missile-flying distance from The Kremlin, a “checkmate” (a beheading of Russia’s central command so that Russia won’t have enough time to launch its retaliatory missiles) and demand Russia’s surrender (since there is no way that Russia’s central command would be able to assess the situation within only 7 minutes and get its missiles launched). ”
—————-
My advice is move away from nuke targets and upwind if you can. It is obvious that pedo sniffer Biden (aka Amerikan Nero) is completely insane.
Time is growing short to save yourself and your family from insanity called Zionism.
Good ol Vern,
You need to do a wee bit of research and stay away from parroting jew truther sites.
Fascism was formed in 1920’s Italy solely to fight against bolshevik/communist/marxists who were slaughtering millions of Christians in the soviet union at the time. It won and Italy thrived in peace until WW2.
Here in Britain Fascism was very popular and it was constantly and violently oppossed by the jews until the outbreak of war when all the main Fascist leaders were incarcerated under ‘regulation 18B’ (no charge, no trial, no habeus corpus, just straight to jail) until wars end. The jews then started their usual projections and denigration of the fascists classing them as violent , even though it was the jews doing all the attacking, and claiming , like today, that Fascism was anti-British which was the exact opposite.
Here is a very good book to read written by Oswald Mosley:

Good ol’ vern,
Just for you:

The Rand Corporation is in the “war business”, so it is no surprise to see something like this produced by them. Today, Russia is the new 1930s Germany. It sees the international banking cartel for what it is – a vampire squid that sucks the wealth and soul out of a nation. It is ironic that Russia moved to a limited invasion to protect ethnic Russians from slaughter, just as Germany did in 1939. Russia and China cannot be allowed to succeed, as others may wake up and want to join that club.
harry–“deported” means you sling them out of the door and they slide back in through the window. You need to transport them to the ground under a cemetery, or to the sea under a high cliff
@Ross
I’m sorry, I speak English, not “political science”:
“fascism n. a political theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical government (as opposed to democracy or liberalism)”
Here’s a thought, is this the third secret of Fatima coming to fruition? “I shall come to ask the consecration of Russia to my Immaculate Heart and the communion of reparation on the Five First Saturdays. If my requests are granted, Russia will be converted and there will be peace. If not, she will scatter her errors throughout the world, provoking wars and persecution of the Church.”
Open to discussion!
Good ol’ Vern,
What dictionary and what date was the dictionary and who publishes these dictionaries?
Yes, Fascism was authoritarian. It was like your father, authoritarian with high altruistic values and loving. This is why the jew cultural marxists did everything they could to bring it down, ie Theodor Adorno and his book ‘The Authoritarian Personality’. Written solely for the destruction of family values. The family values which the Fascists first and foremost believed in and cultured. Read the book I linked to.
@Ross
“Yes, Fascism was authoritarian. It was like your father, authoritarian with high altruistic values and loving.”
Yeah, that’s what governments are. Loving like anything. Not to mention the fact that you have some kind of relationship with your father, but the “government” decided to take over your life without any agreement from you or anyone else.
“altruistic: showing unselfish concern for the welfare of others”
Again, your English appears to be faulty. Which “government” is this exactly?
“What dictionary and what date was the dictionary and who publishes these dictionaries?”
So now you want to rewrite the English language to fit your political science theories? Bigot much?
Good ol’ vern,
Read the book I linked to before you make any more comments and understand the tenets of real Fascism and not the hollywood caricature.
@Ross
Have you noticed that I haven’t mentioned your hero even once? Believe me, I’m well aware that he was a million times better leader than britain ever had, but that isn’t the point. I speak English, and English is what I speak. I’ve no idea where you come from, but the two parts of the previous sentence do not mean the same thing. To an English speaking person the meaning of English words is set in stone. You can’t suddenly start calling a tomato a cabbage because it sports a naff mustache and a cane. A tomato is a tomato. And fascism is fascism, as defined by the English language. I’m not somehow brainwashed viz your fantasy of using fascism against someone you like because the jews or hollywood or anyone else told me to do it. I’m not, in fact using it against him at all. I’ve given you the meaning of the word, and it fits the uk government to a T. I know you don’t get it, and I kinda pity you for it, but there you are.
Obviously you’ve still not read the book. By the way, are you some kind of English teacher, what’s with all the semantics?
“altruistic”–altro, alter, other, the one you care about as opposed to just yourself
