Paul Craig Roberts – paulcraigroberts.org Aug 6, 2024
It is OK for Israel and Washington to escalate the situation, but not for Iran or Russia. Here is the way it works. Israel assassinates a Muslim leader on Iranian territory, and then the media goes into action calling on Iran not to escalate the situation. Iran doesn’t, and from Iran not “escalating the situation” another leader is assassinated. Iran is again called on not to escalate the situation.
The reason we are headed to war is that Russia, Iran, and China are provoked time and again, and their response is to wait, and wait, and wait some more while Washington and Israel get prepared, thus reducing the effectiveness of any action taken by Russia, Iran, and China.
Iran has now waited so long before responding to Israel’s assassinations that Israel has had time to prepare an underground bunker for Netanyahu and his war party. Iran had a chance to catch them in the open and blew it. Now Iran says it wants to punish Israel but avoid all-out war. No meaningful action will be forthcoming from Iran.
Putin waited eight years from 2014 to 2022 before he accepted the obvious fact that he had to act in Donbas. If he had acted in 2014 there would have been no war.
Like Russia and Iran China issues endless “warnings.” But as the warnings never are backed by action, no one pays any attention to the warnings.
Russia, Iran, and China are right not to want war. But they have failed to understand that it is not their choice and that they are bringing on war by failing to stand up to Washington and Israel.

I totally agree with PCR.
They don’t want wars, so they just keep taking the blows, and this weakness just encourages the Nazis to escalate.
While Putin has done amazing things for his country and others, he has been a total failure since he launched the SMO.
It’s the same with Iran. The Chinese are nowhere near the point of calling the US out. The Chinese don’t want to kill Chinese sheeple on Taiwan, just as Putin didn’t want to kill civilians in UKraine, but both Iran and Russia are way pasted the point they should’ve acted decisively.
Long ago, Nazi UK should have been nuked, and Nazi Amerika wouldn’t lift a finger. Nazi Amerika won’t let the UK use Trident, and the UK probably knows this, and I believe the UK has returned to nukes on aircraft. It’s pretty pathetic, but Britain is a broken country with zero prospects.
Putin could’ve stopped the Nazis in their tracks, but he’s blown every justifiable opportunity.
The FBI raid on Scott Ritter’s home is an indication of just how desperate the Nazis are. Could Ritter head the US state department under Trump? Will both be assassinated?
Trump doesn’t want a war with Russia. Even though I believe Trump has done a deal with the deep state, he wants to normalise relations with Russia, and Ritter might be the only person they would trust.
While this could provide some optimism, MI6 will have other plans. The hate Trump, and they probably hate Ritter as well. Nazi UK wants their hat-trick of world wars, or they are finished.
PCR would be right if Iran, Russia, etc, were free to act in their own best interests.
What if they are not?
If the regimes of the world are ALL dirty, it behooves us to consider the possibility that they are acting in concert to bring about revolutionary change the whole world over.
The strategy for each point on the compass will be different to fool those of us who think in terms of “national interest”. The globalists are not encumbered with any of that obsolete thinking.
Seriously — what if they’re ALL in on it?
PCR says if Putin had acted in 2014 there would have been no war but if he had acted then Russia might have been beaten if it was not yet prepared to take on the whole of NATO. But how come the people who try to avoid war are to blame for the war instead of the ones who started it? The US started it like it started just about every other war since WWII. And the wars it didn’t start such as in Africa it probably had a role in causing the political upheaval that caused the war.
The world’s in one piece still so Putin’s doing something right.
Iran is near Yid-man, not America. If Yid-man hates all his neighbours, as he does, let him be the one who goes to war (and get his nose smashed off)
“Putin waited eight years from 2014 to 2022 before he accepted the obvious fact that he had to act in Donbas. If he had acted in 2014 there would have been no war.”
Nonsense. Roberts continues to pretend that the proxy war against Russia in “Ukraine” is really all about “Ukraine” when it obviously isn’t. “Ukraine” is just the tip of the spear; IOW the war in Ukraine is one manifestation of the fundamental underlying agenda to destroy Russia. If the madmen could not have drawn Russia into a war of attrition in Ukraine they’d do it elsewhere, e.g the Mideast.
Furthermore, what Paul Roberts apparently doesn’t understand is this: With every day that passes Russia, China and Iran get stronger while the U.S. gets weaker. In 2014, Russia didn’t have hypersonic missiles, Sarmat ICBMs, BUK-M3 air defense system, S-500 air defense system, R37M and R77M air-to-air missiles, Murmansk-BN EW system, etc. While the war in Ukraine drags on, the Russians have been refurbishing and stocking bomb shelters, manufacturing and storing massive amounts of ammo, missiles, etc. in preparation for the all out war against the Satanic West that they believe is coming.
Russia is in a far better position today – militarily, economically and politically – to take on the Satanic collective West in an all out war – than it was 10 years ago. Of course Roberts ignores all of this.
whats this guy on about with natzis ?
i think hes in the wrong war
i doubt his sanity some how
can anyone help him please ?
there is only one justified war : our war against
our own traitors on our territory + the stupid
not wanting to learn, still not on our side !
Without the war, NATO will collapse economically. Ukraine keeps it and the markets from dying. So later than sooner, the inevitable…. Sonny Sue says that every war is won before it is fought.
@Franz hit the nail on the head!! They are ALL in it together Just Like Hitler and The War Criminal Churchill that started a war that could have been avoided.
Things in Airforce One…meaning Britain are getting WORSE it seems…ever since the murder of the three girls…..maybe “they” wanted an incident like this to kick things off?.
It’s the mass arrests that are disturbing….like a totalitarian state.Its an over reaction.Worse perhaps are the senior police officers who are sucking up to that utter prick Starmer….The best guess is he deliberately wound up the public after the dreadful stabbing.
His actions are calculated enabling arrests of “far right protestors”…..that way the government can take the heat out of opposition to the MASS ALIEN IMMIGRATION.
It is so obvious….the zio government is spending more of the publics taxes on illegal immigrants than on poor British citizens!!!!.
With enough pressure Starmer will Crack….he is a little crypto Jewish shit….they’ll time it to coincide with a war in Lebanon etc…..that way the jews will have access to the British army and weapons without the bothersome protests within Britain and its supine MPs.
Commentators have maintained that international jewry was responsible for the two world wars….but there was always room for doubt.
NOT this time around….
BOTH the conflict in Ukraine AND Gaza/Lebanon is very definitely THEIR work.
(Another Black woman in American politics (Bush) has been successfully targeted by AIPAC…and she’ll be gone by January…..if only it was widely known that the slave business was jewish business and only because Britain put a HALT to it was it stopped by CHRISTIANS.
OK….now refer to Goebbels the third most powerful Nazi in WW2.
A SHORT DWARF-LIKE CREATURE WITH AN INHERITED BIRTH DEFECT….with a club foot and a rather upsetting swarthy demeanor….come on….get real….he was the polar opposite of an “Aryan”……Keep this in mind when considering Wester politicians.
Consider Mayorkas one OF… THE WORST IN WASHINGSTEIN
In WW1 and 2 it was Axis vs.Allies , now it’s NATO vs BRICS – same Hegelian dialectic. There are no sovereign countries , it’s all choreographed by the JWO.
Quoting Article: “Iran has now waited so long before responding to Israel’s assassinations that Israel has had time to prepare an underground bunker for Netanyahu and his war party. Iran had a chance to catch them in the open and blew it. Now Iran says it wants to punish Israel but avoid all-out war. No meaningful action will be forthcoming from Iran.”
Just imagine you were Khamenai and you had to help set in motion and soon after lead a revolution that has just 45 years to not only survive and save your people from the most insane economical and psychological warfare but also will have to become top missile and drone power, spread control all over the region, create and help allies and finally destroy Zion and remove all US bases from your neighborhood…. knowing that right after the revolution you will have 8 years of war against SadMan’s Iraq and he would be supported by both Americans, Soviets, Europeans and vassal Muslim and Arab rich states would fund and fan the flames of racial and religious divisions in and around your country on the direction of the top western intelligence agencies. The climax of which will be ISIS! Not only that but you will have to cope with the internal fifth column and the deadly disease known as westernization and the enemy’s soft power against you continuously throughout the entire time nonstop while advancing in every field of science and technology and building the country such that the embargo all along would be nullified. You also have to say over 14 times in this 45 years that you do not seek nuclear weapons and that intend to break those countries that rely on nukes with no nukes of your own and as a religious leader your word has to count!
And you know what is the most amazing thing of it all? That you have to rely on patience! Wow! This is the longest most short journey to victory!
Oh! I forgot to add that many will be impatient both among your friends and foes! Have a speedy victory Supreme Leader, your 45 years starts …. 1, 2, 3, 4… go!
HAHAHA
my two tomans
Ellis C Taylor: your first sentence reveals your lack of intellect.
The reason is simple, it is not according to the play book. There is further historical insight continuing from prior to WW2.
In the book, And Men Wept (1955) by Catherine Palfrey Baldwin, Chapter 6 – British Israel in the United States, pp. 46-47, states:
* Destiny was a periodical magazine (propaganda arm) of the Anglo-Saxon Federation of America, Haverhill, Massachusetts with Howard Rand (remember the Rand Corporation?) as the General Secretary then. The ASFA is an affiliate of The British Israel World Federation, London, UK. Destiny Magazine was regularly distributed to US Government members. The BIWF periodical magazine (another propaganda arm) was called, “National Message”.
The formation of modern Israel was not about “restoration of a Jewish homeland” but about protection of an oil spigot. (See How the Synagogue of Satan Became Israel: From Sugar to Cotton to Oil by Nation of Islam Research Group, Mar. 16, 2024.)
The destruction of Gaza and the indigenous Palestinians, who are even considered as the descendants of the original Israeli Hebrews (see https://mondoweiss.net/2008/09/israeli-historian-palestinians-are-biological-descendants-of-bibles-jews/ ), are being ethnically cleansed to steal the oil and natural gas off the coast of Gaza. (See https://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/?p=278954 John Hamilton – Israel’s $500 Billion Gaza Gas Grab by tts-admin | Dec 27, 2023.)
Baldwin continued:
From various Internet articles, I gather that the above narration about the British Throne was play acted during the recent coronation ceremony of King Charles III.
Continuation of Baldwin, p. 48:
If you will notice, the current battle cry sounded across the mainstream media and western governments today is preparing to fight Russia.
And when the thousand years are expired, Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the number of whom is as the sand of the sea. The Apocalypse of Saint John (Revelation) 20:7-8 (KJV)
real war will be in our homelands against our
rich traitors + their political surporters (police+judges) !
