NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg meets with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ahead of the NATO summit in Washington
Chris Wright – Consortium News July 9, 2024
The world is at its most dangerous moment since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. Back then, however, the fear of total destruction consumed the public; today, few people seem even to be aware of this possibility.
It is easily imaginable that nuclear war could break out between Russia (and perhaps China) and the West, yet politicians continue to escalate tensions, place hundreds of thousands of troops at “high readiness,” and attack military targets inside Russia, even while ordinary citizens blithely go on with their lives.
The situation is without parallel in history.
Consider the following facts. A hostile military alliance, now including even Sweden and Finland, is at the very borders of Russia. How are Russian leaders — whose country was almost destroyed by Western invasion twice in the 20th century — supposed to react to this? How would Washington react if Mexico or Canada belonged to an enormous, expansionist, and highly belligerent anti-U.S. military alliance?
As if expanding NATO to include Eastern Europe wasn’t provocative enough, Washington began to send billions of dollars’ worth of military aid to Ukraine in 2014, to “improve interoperability with NATO,” in the words of the Defense Department.
Why this Western involvement in Ukraine, which, as Barack Obama said while president, is “a core Russian interest but not an American one?”
One reason was given by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in a recent moment of startling televised candor: Ukraine is “sitting on $10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals… I don’t want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China.”
—
As The Washington Post has reported:
“Ukraine harbors some of the world’s largest reserves of titanium and iron ore, fields of untapped lithium, and massive deposits of coal. Collectively, they are worth tens of trillions of dollars.”
Ukraine also has colossal reserves of natural gas and oil, in addition to neon, nickel, beryllium and other critical rare earth metals. For NATO’s leadership, Russia and, in particular, China can’t be permitted access to these resources. The war in Ukraine must, therefore, continue indefinitely, and negotiations with Russia mustn’t be pursued.
Meanwhile, as Ukraine was being de facto integrated into NATO in the years before 2022, the United States put into operation an anti-ballistic-missile site in Romania in 2016.

As Benjamin Abelow notes in How the West Brought War to Ukraine, the missile launchers that the ABM system uses can accommodate nuclear-tipped offensive weapons like the Tomahawk cruise missile.
“Tomahawks,” he points out, “have a range of 1,500 miles, can strike Moscow and other targets deep inside Russia, and can carry hydrogen bomb warheads with selectable yields up to 150 kilotons, roughly 10 times that of the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima.” Poland now boasts a similar ABM site.
American assurances that these anti-missile bases are defensive in nature, to protect against an (incredibly unlikely) attack from Iran, can hardly reassure Russia, given the missile launchers’ capability to launch offensive weapons.

In another bellicose move, the Trump administration in 2019 unilaterally withdrew from the 1987 Treaty on Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces.
Russia responded by proposing that the U.S. declare a moratorium on the deployment of short- and intermediate-range nuclear missiles in Europe, saying it wouldn’t deploy such missiles as long as NATO members didn’t. Washington dismissed these proposals, which upset some European leaders. “Has the absence of dialogue with Russia,” French President Emmanuel Macron said, “made the European continent any safer? I don’t think so.”
The situation is especially dangerous given what experts call “warhead ambiguity.” As senior Russian military officers have said, “There will be no way to determine if an incoming ballistic missile is fitted with a nuclear or a conventional warhead, and so the military will see it as a nuclear attack” that warrants a nuclear retaliation.
A possible misunderstanding could thus plunge the world into nuclear war.
So now we’re more than two years into a proxy war with Russia that has killed hundreds of thousands of people and has seen Ukraine even more closely integrated into the structures of NATO than it was before.
And the West continues to inch ever closer to the nuclear precipice. Ukraine has begun using U.S. missiles to strike Russian territory, including defensive (not only offensive) missile systems.
This summer, Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway and Belgium will begin sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, and Denmark and the Netherlands have said there will be no restrictions on the use of these planes to strike targets in Russia. F-16s are able to deliver nuclear weapons, and Russia has said the planes will be considered a nuclear threat.

Bringing the world even closer to terminal crisis, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg states that 500,000 troops are at “high readiness,” and in the next five years, NATO allies will “acquire thousands of air defense and artillery systems, 850 modern aircraft — mostly fifth-generation F-35s —and also a lot of other high-end capabilities.”
Macron has morphed into one of Europe’s most hawkish leaders, with plans to send military instructors to Ukraine very soon. At the same time, NATO is holding talks about taking more nuclear weapons out of storage and placing them on standby
Where all this is heading is unclear, but what’s obvious is that Western leaders are acting with reckless disregard for the future of humanity.
Their bet is that Putin will never deploy nuclear weapons, despite his many threats to do so and recent Russian military drills to deploy tactical nuclear weapons. Given that Russian use of nuclear warheads might well precipitate a nuclear response by the West, the fate of humanity hangs on the restraint and rationality of one man, Putin—a figure who is constantly portrayed by Western media and politicians as an irrational, bloodthirsty monster.
So the human species is supposed to place its hope for survival in someone we’re told is a madman, who leads a state that feels besieged by the most powerful military coalition in history, apparently committed to its demise.
Maybe the madmen aren’t in the Russian government but rather in NATO governments?
It is downright puzzling that millions of people aren’t protesting in the streets every day to deescalate the crisis and pull civilization back from the brink. Evidently the mass media have successfully fulfilled their function of manufacturing consent. But unless the Western public wakes up, the current crisis might not end as benignly as did the one in 1962.

Oh, all the Media needs to do is keep repeating ‘Russia strikes Childrens’ Hospital ‘ and NATO can do what it likes.
It’s THAT fundamentally stupid.

“The situation is without parallel in history.”
Yep.
And what makes it even MORE surreal is that in Moscow, they have a large staff dubbing and distributing movies from the UK, US, Canada, etc, and business is booming. Can’t get enough of that anglo drama!
I got a pal there and I emailed him — “You guys cutting back, right?”
Wrong. It’s business as usual. If missiles fly and cities burn, they’ll still be watching stuff from the Fox network or the BBC or whatever.
Crazy world or what?

Nazi UKrainian mineral wealth is a none starter. If they have all this oil and gas, why start war? It’s very simple, the world doesn’t need cheap plentiful oil, gas, and minerals. Why was Nazi UKraine stealing Russian oil and gas???
The Nazis BIG problem is stopping Russia from supplying ‘cheap’ oil, gas, and minerals to China, India, and any other country who wants them.
There are countless capped oil and gas wells in the GofM. Nazi UK has huge reserves of oil and gas off the Scottish coast.
Nazi interests are global, and not UKraine centric. UKrainian Nazis will have to wait decades to see any money from their resourses. There’s a pecking order, and besides, Nazi UK wants the carbon markets destroyed, so Russia loses its market, even if the UK suffers from its anti carbon policies.
Russia is set to power the BRICS, and China is set to power the NFW economy, and the Nazis sect hates this.
ZATO’s ‘Endgame’ is IN FACT “Wiping Out Whitey”.
With The West having been asset-stripped to the bone… and with the VaXXXtermination Juice Jab & the 3rd World Invasion proving too slow for its liking…
the Synagogue Of Satan has apparently decided that ’Nuclear War’ in Europe is the fastest & most efficacious way of “covering its tracks”… before Whitey wakes up.
Any questions? 🤔
…. like “Is it still advisable to go ahead with my booking for a fortnight’s bonking in Benny Dorm… or should I perhaps buy a bug-out tent for the back-garden?”
🤔
In power less than a week and already Starmer told Ukraine it can use its Storm Shadow missiles to attack targets inside Russia. I doubt he gave that order, I think he took it.
https://uk.news.yahoo.com/keir-starmer-gives-ahead-british-034200289.html
-Stoltenberg: “500000 at high readiness and in the next five years ..blabla ..” so we are expected to listen to recycled rumors of war for 5 more years .. And: “The situation is without paralel in history ..” they know old Nib arrives around 2026-2027, devastating the earth anyway .. and they have-to-control-and-distract the public with bs rumors of war or nobody would pay their mortgages anymore and revolt .. just wait for global martial law. Meanwhile using “climate change” to cover up for Nibiru and it’s increasing devastation of Earth.
-These wars are mostly acted out by US spec ops dept military operators in coordination with their allied “adversaries” .. there are ops like the biolabs since before 2016 and, mostly subterranean, Gaza and Egypt crossborder ops but not the scales we are told nor the casualty numbers .. and a lot of “blowing up ugly buildings”. Most of the time passenger planes are flying over socalled “warzones”.
Navie fools are leading American and NATO leadership whose sole purpose is to steal the resources of both Ukraine and Russia. They have no idea what the outcome of nuclear weapons upon humanity will bring forth. The lust that is pouring from their mouths is almost unbelievable.
Russia knows that its very survival is dependent upon wise leadership which is lacking in the West. What can we do? Anyone can speak up but they risk being called a traitor and Anti-American. Those who have wisdom may have to shut their mouths and pray, otherwise they may have thugs beating down their doors at 3 in the morning.
ZWOG gradually placing its chess pieces on the board as they setup & lead the white man into another abattoir. Subheading wonders what US would do if Russia built military bases on US-Mex border. They would do nothing & probably welcome them, since both US & Russia are ruled by the same Marxist-Commie clique.
What these Putintards don’t tell you is that both NATO & Russia are ruled by the same global Commie cult of Jew central bankers/rabbis pretending to be ‘enemies’ to dialectically advance their WEF/UN Agenda 2030 techno-Communist goals & setup prefabricated wars to liquidate white males in.
“One reason was given by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in a recent moment of startling televised candor: Ukraine is ‘sitting on $10 to $12 trillion of critical minerals… I don’t want to give that money and those assets to Putin to share with China.'”
This statement is not an example of “candor” but deception. That scumbag Graham knows this conflict has nothing whatsoever to do with “critical minerals.” It’s all about destroying Russia for the simple reason that evil (i.e. the Satanic cult that runs the corrupt West) cannot tolerate a good example.
“Their bet is that Putin will never deploy nuclear weapons, despite his many threats to do so and recent Russian military drills to deploy tactical nuclear weapons.”
I must disagree with this assertion. On the contrary they know that Russia will indeed resort to the use of nuclear weapons at some point. They also know that they cannot “win” (in any meaningful sense) a nuclear war even if they strike Russia first (or try to strike Russia first). Being the devil-worshiping, demon-possessed madmen that they are, and being that they realize (at some level of consciousness) that their evil empire is going down, they would apparently prefer a world-as-we-know-it-ending nuclear war to the humiliation of military, economic, political and spiritual defeat on the world stage.
I cannot help but think that this is theatrics. It’s not as if either one of the two sides expects to survive a nulcear attack from the other. Far more likely is that NATO is in place to ensuree that the Western Money Bags, not the Russians, get to exploit the vast untapped natural resources of the Ukraine. Why, but for that reason, have those natural resources been left untapped?
Poor Ukrainians. They have lost most of their men of this generation. And as only Maria Zakharova seems to remember, something like 60,000 babies and infants are missing from the Ukraine. Now they will lose their natural wealth too, unless Russia moves at last to win this dirty war.
What I found to be particularly absurd was the photo of that sawed-off little prison cum sock Macron in which he “reviews French troops” from the back of a shit-bucket jeep, which surely gave some extra vibration to his already vibrating-on-full-speed butt-plug. You can almost see the voice in Macron’s head saying, “I’d suck HIS dick, and I’d suck HIS dick, and I’d suck HIS dick…”…. F*ck Nero and his fiddle, the depraved degenerate Macron would be happy to fellate and sodomize away while the world burns.
The criminally insane NATO, a puppet of the satanic Jew World Order, versus the fake opposition “Axis”™, also a puppet of the Jew World Order, engage in their scripted Kabuki dance of death and destruction in the dog & pony show production of White Goys Must Go, while the masses caught in the middle just want to live in some semblance of peace.
These Crowleyists haven’t a clue about anything apart from grifting and sexual deviations, the faggots and pederasts really believe tactical nuclear weapons are just whizz bangs . The Hiroshima bomb was 15 kilotons the Russian tacticals are 75 and will reach any European capital , their proven accuracy will ensure the faggots can kiss their asses goodbye. Looking at the mental capacity of these clowns Armageddon cannot be ruled out, imagine TS own dimwit X deciding the fate of the world, frightening.
In Voltman’s comment yesterday he called NATO “HATO”, meaning “HAITO”, which is quite apt. This brings up another anomaly. All the the administrations running our nations are social-liberal, neocon, bankster globalist ones. On the one hand they want us to be loyal to our nations to hate and kill Russians and Iranians, and on the other hand they are systematically destroying our nation states, cultures, religions, and the very basis of freedom and democracy. The very same and insane people on the one hand are doing everything conceivable to overrun our borders in the name of the so-called “open society” in a new-normal, woke, world order where by 2030 we will own nothing, live in “smart cities”, eat bugs, and be happy ever after practicing some new replacement religion where we bow down every day to DIE, the great god of “diversity, inclusiveness, and equality”.
So, what is really going on? Are we being given a choice between HAITO and DIE, where we are to turn our backs on DIE and get on the flavor-of-the-day HAITO band wagon for a WWIII. If the Russian ruling class is really independent from the clutches of the international banking cartel, is it that they have rejected the DIE god of the globalist NWO order (as the Rothschild Reuters organ would have us believe), and accordingly Russia being against international looting for its own sake, is that really why we must hate and kill Russians now? Or, if the Russian ruling class is just one more puppet of that monolithic and sociopathic cartel, then is it the case that the threat by HAITO of a WWIII is just another globalist pretext for those of fighting age in the West to put on HAITO uniforms to kill off potential resistors to DIE in a meatgrinder war with Russia, as in the Ukraine, or alternatively to use those conscripted to get rid of all resistors to the NWO god DIE in our own nations?
Anti-hate laws now abound allegedly to make us more equal and inclusive, but if anyone opposes DIE and the god of Woke then it is duty of everyone else to hate them. They are not trying to get rid of hate they are fueling it and trying to get rid of all those they deem as their enemies, including anti-vaxxers, truthers, populists, libertarians, pro-lifers, populists, libertarians, pro-family people, and Christians.
“Because we can”
Take a look at those crime bosses who run the NATO Pact when they’re given a photo op. together. They bear an eerie resemblance to each other. Withered with hate but buoyed up with their own messianic sense of infallibility. They grin evil in their various stages of depravity.Plenty of literal Goblins & Foul Fiends there.
See how Stoltenberg has aged massively, like Blair before him, probably the drugs they consume and the evil they peddle and revel in.
Unlike the 1960s and even up to the teens of this century, there is no opposition to them-or else it is silenced, this gives these horrible ghouls their sense of entitlement and invincibility, this is why now is so dangerous.
And how has this passivity been engendered in the public? Two areas are key. America has systematically contaminated all political systems in Europe ensuring there is no difference between the parties (as back home) and thus all players who strut are placelings signifying nothing. This fosters corruption, lobbying, and the emergence of a homogenous political CASTE who are disdained by voters who retire into despairing silence or lemming apathy. For instance, Starmer received less votes and less percentage than Corbyn in 2017 and 2019 yet he gets a massive majority on a very low turnout 58% and barely 34% of that turnout voted for him. Likewise, the farcical Euro elections where you don’t really vote for a person or a party but for a bloc, who will then arrange lucrative jobs for themselves.
Second aspect is the creation of Social Media which is an onslaught of ego and utter trivia for the main. But this is truly an alluring opium for the people -together with their illegal and prescription drugs. Everything centres around Me, I, My, Mine, now, yesterday was then, now is it, and tomorrow likely never happens. This is the mind control despots have dreamed of as everything is self and there can be no critical analysis other than one’s appearance or number of likes, plus it is the ideal tool of surveillance.
Thus NATO Pact politicians can now openly call for war at any second with little or no dissent or even fear, entertainment war movies have numbed the West into a false sense of security. The endless demonisation of Russia and the systematic provocation of it has emboldened the very superficial and ignorant people who are in power, to believe that you can cry wolf eternally.
The lockdowns and COVID totalitareanism was a test run and the political caste were overjoyed by the docility and stupidity displayed by their populace- by and large. The economic devastation wrought by it and immense transfer of wealth that occurred now convinces NATO-and other- leaders that anything is possible and that nothing can stop their wildest fantasies. However, NATO has been severely checked in Ukraine, it has lost vast amounts of money and its equipment has been less than impressive, Russia has defeated NATO against the odds and it is his that is dangerous. The Ghouls meeting in Washington to celebrate 75 years of perpetual war and aggression know they cannot defeat Russia in a conventional war so they plan a grand perpetual war to wear it and their own populations down. The risk is of an accidental Nuclear War, and this danger by handing long-range and hybrid weapons to Zelensky is very great indeed.
The road to hell paved with evil convictions.
Sophie: the Nazi have made nearly two dacades of terrible decisions, and you think they’ll get a nuclear war right?
The Nazis believe they will win, because they are a sect, they believe the Russian nuclear attack systems will fail. No one in Nazi Land will question this.
The truth, 8 failed Trident launches, and minutemen silos in disrepair. If the US can barely afford to run 2 out of 11 carrier strike groups, then how many US subs are combat read?
There will be no nuclear war because how do the bankers that bank MIC money in a military economy make money.
The threat of nuclear war is the money maker not the act itself.
As for Ukrainian resources what a joke, US Graham the dope can’t even produce emerging markets and the green agenda well programmed into western dopes is a false market for growth which the likes of Graham would know.
Green means deindustrialization so how are Ukrainian resources if factual to be used.
Don’t dope me Graham you dope go dropkick yourself off our planet Ta.

Excellent comments from Nico and Umbra — Both nailed it. The JWO is pitting the goyim against one another as they have done for thousands of years , artificially creating enemies of peoples and countries that otherwise would have no quarrel. All that’s happening is contrived/scripted – wars, ‘elections’ , socio -economic policy etc.
Fear not, war with Russia will be the last thing the jews will want in less than a year. The US, UK, and the French will be scrambling to please the real Masters Of The Universe they will say, meaning Yahwey!
Dear sophie,you got carried away by emotions ,induced by 21st century psychological warfare instruments and protocols.get a grip.not many ukies died.only some drunk or reckless ukie that fell off a cliff during the wargames orchestrated in this war theatre .there is an abundance of ukies to be found all over ‘kraine, partying like it was 1999.

Umbra Bellator’s comments about Macron are spot on and funny as hell, and captures the spirit of that homosexual degenerate scumbag.
Macron (like Obama) is a homo and married to a man. His marriage is a political theater, he is a homo, he likes buttholes. I would bet money he has never had sex with Olena. Vaginas make him puke.
Jean-Micheal Trogneux (aka Brigitte Macron) is the father of Emmanuel Macron:
http://pressibus.free.fr/gen/trogneux/indexgb.html#24
then scroll down to the lineage chart
http://pressibus.free.fr/gen/trogneux/compar/arbre1f5.jpg
Obviously, Brigitte is the handler of Emmanuel, and is the real person, the unelected person, running France – just as Jill Biden is handling her senile husband.
Why is this important and why should you care? Macron says he wants Europe to go to war with Russia. What kind of crazed lunatic wants to start WW3 with nuclear armed Russia? A homosexual degenerate imposter. Who is at war with Russia right now? A homosexual degenerate imposter named Vlodymor Zelensky. And Macron and Zelensky are not only best friends, but lovers as well …butt lovers, lol.
I bet Macron fantacizes by being stuck in a foxhole with a bunch of sweaty men.
Globohomo Macron should rename “foxholes” buttholes.
Sergeant Sodomite – “Private! Grab a shovel and dig a butthole!”
Private – “Yes sir, I can’t wait to open my MRE and try out the butt lube in the care package with Corporal Transtein!”
Russia killing Globohomo troops is an act of morality and salvation to the sane world?
Not mentioned as the end game is central banking.
The debt based currency system has reached a limit. If they can’t keep pumping it up, keep their exploitive system of debt going, they will nuke everything. They will never give up power or admit to what they have done.
If you watch carefully, they complain that current interest rates are to high. Inflation at 3% is to low. They need 10-20% inflation just to keep the current debts solvent.
A senator this week told Jay Powell he wants to remove the Fed’s autonomy, and place money creation in the hands of Congress.
Never forget the real enemy is your government. Never obey them – never comply – especially with the military draft. Anyone who signs up for the draft is a slave.
You must learn to tell the criminal government NO!
The criminal governments want you defenseless so they can abuse and kill you.
ALL cops are scumbags, armed thugs protecting these psychopathic criminals.
Just think, if it wasn’t for cops we could grab the political whores and string them up.
In Amerika, millions of Amerikan soldiers take paychecks to go overseas and kill defenseless peoples.
Soldiers are scum. Cops are scum. Politicians are scum.
Governments are scams created by religious fakery. The Holy Bible says God ordains governments.
Go read Romans 13 and wake the f-ck up. The Holy Bible is the most evil book ever written!
