In order to justify its existence, NATO's warmongering had gone into overdrive. This phantom "Russian Aggression" has been trumpeted so much that surely even the bemused Russians are beginning to believe that it must be true.

[size=18pt]Former NATO Chief: Russia to Invade Poland, Start World War III ‘Overnight’[/size]



In a briefing report, NATO’s former European chief suggested that the Alliance must “significantly increase the troop presence in Poland” or else Russia will catch the West by surprise with a sneak attack.


On Sunday, NATO’s former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander in Europe, General Sir Richard Shirreff, offered a chilling albeit absurdist warning claiming that Russia has troops ready for a lightning takeover of Eastern Europe and that President Vladimir Putin may be willing to set off World War III in a matter of hours.

"It is clear that Russia is capable of surprising the West… with potentially devastating implications for eastern Poland and fatal consequences to the Alliance," warned General Shirreff.
In a briefing document entitled "Arming for Deterrence" for the Atlantic Council think-tank the former military commander said that Putin could easily “artificially generate any pretext that suits his propaganda narrative” to justify war with the West in a matter of hours.

"Even if Moscow currently has no immediate intent to challenge NATO directly, this may unexpectedly change overnight and can be implemented with great speed, following already prepared plans," said the General. "The capability to do so is, to a large extent, in place."

"The biggest threat for NATO today is a miscalculation by Russia that it could outmaneuver the Alliance by creating a quick fait accompli inside NATO’s borders," states the General. "This is based on the Russian assumption that it has a significant time advantage over NATO and that the allies could, through intimidation, uncertainty, and disinformation be influenced not to escalate a limited conflict into a full-fledged one."

The fantastical scenario holds at a premise that the Kremlin somehow ignorant of the legal requirements of the NATO treaty that would require the United States to intervene immediately if a partner nation was under siege by a foreign threat – something that Russian President Vladimir Putin has long assured he is well aware of.

"I think that only an insane person and only in a dream can imagine that Russia would suddenly attack NATO. I think some countries are simply taking advantage of people’s fears with regard to Russia. They just want to play the role of front-line countries that should receive some supplementary military, economic, financial or some other aid," Putin explained near a year ago.

Yet the mystical threat of 'Russian aggression' seems to be a favorite fantasy within the echo chambers of the Western defense establishment that continues to provoke Russia by engaging in a series of massive war games – over 30,000 in the Anaconda War Games not so appropriately timed during the 75th anniversary of the Nazi invasion of the former Soviet Union – which led President of the former Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev to question whether NATO’s activities are a pretext to an invasion.

Moscow has responded with its own military drills including several mass mock mobilizations along its border with eastern Europe – a proportionate response to the threat that Russia faces as a result of needless NATO saber rattling. It is this, almost ironically, that raises a parallel concern for General Shirreff as was raised by former President Gorbachev of a sudden attack.

"Turning one of these exercises into an operation against one or several of the Baltic states would give very little warning time to NATO," said the General. "Russia’s forces in the Western Military District can be quickly and substantially reinforced by units and formations from other parts of Russia under the cover of planned or snap military drills."


In a bout of absolute absurdity, General Shirriff’s prescription to remedy the concern facing NATO in the Baltic region I to significantly bolster permanent troop numbers in Poland – the presence of which has been the primary source of escalation in the fabricated conflict.

"There is an urgent need to strengthen Poland’s defense capacity in order to reduce the temptation for Russia to spring a surprise attack," the General’s report concludes.

Lol! The Atlantic Council and NATO hard at work

Ladies & Gentlemen, as the inexorable march towards a nuclear Armageddon unfolds, I would like to share an article - which has been giving me sleepless nights, with you.

The NATO communiqué issued from Warsaw on “July 9th, 2016” is direct evidence of such planning and preparation and therefore of a conspiracy by the NATO leaders to commit acts of aggression against Mother Russia.

That NATO communiqué is nothing short of a declaration of war against Russia - There is no other way to interpret it.

Under the agreement with NATO, the 1997 NATO–Russia Founding Act, outlined that NATO would not expand into any of the Countries formally members of the Warsaw Pact or the USSR, nor place nuclear weapons there.

NATO has broken that agreement continuously since and has, as an organisation, or through groups of
its member states, committed acts of aggression against Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Russia (during the Georgian attack on South Ossetia and through support of
Chechen terrorist groups inside Russia itself), Ukraine and Syria with each act of aggression supported by massive
propaganda campaigns to attempt to justify these crimes as legitimate.

The western mass media are all complicit in these crimes by distributing this propaganda to the people they are meant to inform.

The same powers have committed and are committing further acts of aggression against the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea, Iran and China and continuously increasing their planning and preparation for aggression against those nations.

These plans are also set out in the NATO communiqué but the gravest threat to mankind is the immediate existential threat against Russia, to which the principal part of the communiqué is directed.

At Paragraph 5 of the communiqué, they committed the first part of their crime by setting out supposed “aggressive actions” of Russia, in which, in every instance, they are the real aggressors.

At paragraph 15, they stated, after some drivel about “partnership between NATO and Russia, that;

“We regret that despite repeated calls by Allies and the international community since 2014 for Russia to change course, the conditions for that relationship do not currently exist.

The nature of the Alliance’s relations with Russia and aspirations for partnership will be contingent on a
clear, constructive change in Russia’s actions that demonstrates compliance with international law and its
international obligations and responsibilities. Until then, we cannot return to “business as usual.”

What they mean by Russia “changing course” is, of course, doing what they order, and “compliance with international law” means nothing less than complying with NATO diktats.

The world saw what happened to Yugoslavia, when President Milosevic had the guts to tell them to go to hell when Madelaine Albright issued her long list of demands, to him, including the occupation of Yugoslavia by NATO forces and the dismantling of socialism, followed by the choice, comply or be bombed.

We saw it again with Afghanistan, invaded on a legal pretext of harbouring an alleged criminal, Bin Laden, who has never been charged with a crime and who was working under US Army command in Kosovo in 1998-9, fighting against the Yugoslav government.

We saw it with Iraq, ordered to surrender weapons it never had, and then attacked with “shock and awe” a display of military power meant not just for Iraq, but for the whole world; this is what we will do to you if you don’t play ball.

We saw it with President Aristide of Haiti in 2004 when Amerikan and Canadian soldiers arrested him at gunpoint & exiled him in chains to Africa, while the world looked away.

We saw it in 2010 when President Laurent Gbagbo was arrested by the French and thrown into the morass of
the International Criminal Court.

We saw it in 2011 when NATO destroyed socialist Libya and we see it now as they try the same against Syria, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, China and most importantly, Mother Russia.

Paragraph 15 is nothing less than a diktat, “obey us or we cannot return to business as usual,” meaning, ultimately, war.

I therefore call on every non-partisan & peace-loving Nairalanders to regard the NATO build-up of forces in Eastern Europe, the NATO coup that overthrew the Yanukovich government in Ukraine, the attempt to grab the Russian naval base at Sevastopol, the immediate attacks on Ukrainian civilians in the eastern provinces that refused to accept the NATO coup, the constant propaganda against Russia as “aggressor” and the economic warfare conducted against Russia under the guise of “sanctions,” to be tantamount to a second “Operation Barbarossa” - the Third Reich’s invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941.

Unless sane minds prevail, Amerika & her aggressive NATO war machine will undoubtedly unleash an Armageddon on Earth - from which there will be no return.

She will illegally make war on Russia which will see millions of innocent Russian men, women and children dead.

Then will come the retaliation in defence of her beautiful people in which, because of Amerika's connivance, will see those countries she has convinced to place themselves in harm’s way, reduced to ashes and ruins - including Amerika herself.

I pray it won't get to a stage where the world will unite around one simple slogan: “Promote World Peace: Kill an Amerikan today”

If it gets to that stage, all Amerikans overseas would be seen as the 21st century Jews, going by the WW2 analogies - where the final solution would be rained down upon them in every single Country of the world outside the USA.

I don’t want that to happen, but it would be an acceptable collateral damage to stop WW3 if this nuclear armageddon scaremongering by Amerika & NATO does not stop.

The Russians have made it quite plain that a nuclear attack on Russia will lead to massive nuclear retaliation against - not only the dog but also its master - which is Amerika.

There is absolutely NO way the Amerika can stop that retaliation, so a nuclear first-strike (US strategic policy but abjured by Russia and China) will result in 3D & HD nuclear Armageddon.

Vladimirovich Putin reiterated that If NATO touches any territory of Russia, Amerika will be obliterated.

The idea that the foolish & gullible Amerikans can sit comfortably and watch it all on TV is absurd.

Germany alone has just taken delivery of a “FURTHER” 200 NUCLEAR WARHEADS.

Amerika is counting on the fact that without a Russia/China military axis, the US undoubtedly will only suffer a few million civilian casualties -“collateral damage” the elites in the Pentagon can live with, as surely as they dismiss (with crocodile tears) the deaths of their military personnel.

If Barack Obama can bomb seven countries in six years & still be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, what accolades do you think the psychotic Killary Clinton believes she will be owed by launching ever more murderous attacks against her
perceived enemies, or those she just has utter contempt for?

In conclusion, for those of you - ValerianSteel, Lucasbalo, Mazeltov, Vedaxcool, CSTR9, Obagadaffi, Bookface & Missy89 who wish to bury your heads in the sand – Pls keep your fvcking asses covered!

No one puts it more plainly and direct like Paul Craig Roberts does..

The Atlantic Council: The Marketing Arm of the Military/Security Complex

Paul Craig Roberts

How much did the military-security complex pay the Atlantic Council to publish this sales pitch to Poland to load up on US weapons systems? http://www.atlanticcouncil.org/images/publications/Arming_for_Deterrence_web_0719.pdf

The sales pitch was written by arms salesmen Richard Shirreff, a partner at Strategia Worldwide Ltd., and Maciej Olex-Szczytowski, a “business adviser specializing in defense.”

The sales pitch is titled “Arming For Deterrence.” The Kremlin is unpredictable, say the arms salesmen, and could at any moment decide to attack Poland. However the Russian regime “respects a show of force” and would back down if Poland has a sufficient inventory of US weapons.

The sales pitch encourages Poland to take many aggressive and dangerous steps toward Russia, such as targeting Russia cities and facilities including RT. But before provoking the Bear like this, Poland needs “to join the tactical nuclear capability scheme within NATO, so enabling its F-16s to be carriers of tactical nuclear ordnance.”

Poland also needs to be able to strike deep inside Russia and for this needs to purchase American long-range JASSM air-launched cruise missiles, the Navy Strike missile coastal missiles, and the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems.

Poland also needs “offensive cyber operations” and “more tandem-warhead Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) capable of penetrating reactive armor, and also anti-aircraft (including anti-helicopter) and anti-UAV missiles. “

The bill for this deterrence against non-existent “Russian aggression” comes to
“some US $26 billion” on top of planned expenditures of US $34 billion. “Poland should move forward expeditiously with procurements,” say the arms salesmen or risk being attacked by superior Russian forces.

The zionist neocons get away with their warmongering because it is profitable for the US military/security complex. Whereas the crazed neocons want real war, the military/security complex only wants the propaganda threat of war. The numerous military/foreign policy think tanks funded by the military/security complex provide the propaganda and made-up threat. This is a dangerous game, because the Russians see a real threat in the hostility that is directed at them.

The anti-Russian propaganda is universal and includes the Olympic Games. Washington wants Russia excluded based on the allegation that only Russians take performance-enhancing substances. What extraordinary nonsense. I have a relative who travels widely to test athletes of every sport, even golf, for the use of performance-enhancing substances.

It is not the Russians who have corrupted “clean sports.” It is the money that the corrupt Americans have poured into sports. To be a champion, to win the Masters at Augusta National, to win a gold medal means to be a multi-millionaire. Sports that people once played for enjoyment are now a lucrative profession.

Money corrupts everything, and it is capitalism that turns everything into a commodity that is bought and sold. In capitalist regimes everything is for sale: honor, integrity, justice, truth.
Everything is reduced to the filthy lucre.
