Shortly before his re-election in 2012, President Obama was caught in an open mic moment assuring Russian surrogate president Dmitry Medvedev that, Obama, he would have total control over the location of Nato missiles once he was back in the White House for another four years.
Obama asked Medvedev to pass this on to Vladimir Putin, then poised to begin a second spell as Russian President. The American
President hinted that he believed Moscow’s security grievances about NATO expansion were
legitimate.
The Obama administration went on to engineer the coup which overthrew the pro-Russian government of Ukraine in 2014 and replaced them with a far right, Russophobic loose coalition of nationalists, EU supporters and neo - Nazis. Fearing
that Ukraine might join NATO as Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Chechia, Hungary, Romania and several other Warsaw Pact nations had. Once back in charge Putin seized Ukrainian Crimea, allegedly in
retaliation for the new Ukrainan government's persecution of Russian speaking minorities in Ukraine and to secure Russian control of Sebastapol, the main base of his Black Sea navy.
We question the mainstream narrative's claim that the annexation of Crimea was 'In retaliation' for anything. As this blog's contributors understand the history of that event the Russian
speaking occupants of Crimea that voted to re-establish their direct
connection to Russia, with 90% expressing the wish to be part of Russia rather than the new Ukraine. Was Putin
going to refuse such a gift?
It seems mainstream media are looking sideways at
each other as to how to spin the current situation in Ukraine, as it
clearly is not following their narrative upheld so vehemently for so
long. Militarily Russia holds a winning hand. Politically there
are 'Jokers' in the pack, supported by a West that has an inbred hatred
of anything Russian that stems from even before the 'Cold War'.
There is much the West did not understand about Ukraine in 2014 and still does not understand now:

After making warlike noises Obama accepted Putin's fait accompli rather
than risk conflict with Russia over NATO expansionism. Instead, a
low-level war broke out in eastern Ukraine where the Russian-speaking
majority sought autonomy.
Dribbling, demented Joe Biden took office inheriting from both Obama and Donald Trump a
source of permanent discord that Moscow called an existential threat
which it would not tolerate.
Although he has mainly followed his mentor’s policies, something
changed in the attitude to Putin of Biden’s foreign policy team, most of
whom had served under Obama and had shied from confrontation over
Crimea. The thinking seemed to have become some version of: let’s
neutralise the Russians by just ignoring them.
As a result of his inability to force the US into serious
negotiations, Putin has waged war on Ukraine since February. The Obama
doctrine of caution has been replaced by a gauntlet thrown down to
Putin.
Now that the Swedes and Finns have sumitted their applications to join NATO,only Turkey’s threatened veto can prevent them, and once they sign up to the mutual defence treaty
a line will have been crossed that will not be acceptable to Russian foreign policy or military strategy officials.
Admitting them to the alliance adds 800 miles of Finnish border with
Russia for the potential deployment of Nato missiles and troops. It
pushes Putin deeper into confrontation with the west and seriously
complicates the prospect of ending the war in Ukraine soon.
How far does Nato expect Putin to swallow this enlargement on top of
the one he is fighting in Ukraine to prevent? To what extent do we in
the West trust in the ability of Biden to force him to do so without
risking an incalculable wider conflict?
As the threat of escalation beyond Ukraine's bordersd mounts between NATO and Russia,
it is clear that Biden blundered badly last year when
he paid scant attention to Putin’s attempts to force the US into
constructive talks, backed up with a military mobilisation on the
Ukrainian border.
The Presidents held two summits in 2021 with Ukraine on the
agenda. They met in person in Geneva in June and conferred by video
conference in December without apparent progress.
The same month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov formally laid
out Moscow’s basic demands for the withdrawal of Nato forward forces
from alliance members bordering Russia and irreversible denial of Nato
membership to Ukraine.
When US and Russian envoys met in Geneva in January, the Americans
said no more than that some of Nato’s deployments might be discussed but
refused to budge on Ukraine. Since there was no follow-up, Putin struck
into Ukraine on February 24. His forces are now sitting on their gains,
undeterred by sanctions and the supply of western weapons and military hardware so that the Krazies in Kiev can keep the war going.
While the entire West accused the Russians of unprovoked aggression, even Pope Francis suggested to the Corriere della Sera that
it may have overreached. He said the ‘barking of NATO at Russia’s door’
may have forced Putin to invade after parading his army so demonstrably on the border.
It is possible that this is exactly what Washington wanted all
along, knowing in advance how much resistance the Ukrainians, whom they
advised and armed, were prepared to put up. When the war began, US media quoted an anonymous US official as
saying that ‘now we’ve got him where we want him’ – clearly an
unprovoked aggressor, depending on how the lack of provocation was
defined in a broader context.
In fact the Russian incursion into Ukrainian territory has been marked by its restraint. Where western military interventions have been typified by heavy, indiscriminate missile and artillery bombardment, air strikes and carpet bombing, Russia's formidable air force has stayed on the ground and attacks by ground forces have been focused on cities known to be strongholds of the anti - Russian Azov regiments.
The real danger here is that Putin's restraint is being seen as weakness.
Driven only by money and power, as the globalists are - without a moral
value to be seen, and the dribbling Biden is of course their creature -
the idea of conducting hostilities with a view to minimising civilian
casualties is simply not understood.
Had Putin conducted a
blitzkreig on Galicia and reduced the place to ashes the queue to join
NATO would not be there. The danger is that this failure to see the
values driving the Russian position will eventually result in a reaction
of massive reaction. The defeat of Ukraine is already a reality - no
amount of war - glorifying propaganda or media yapping will alter that, and our disgusting Johnson
regime has shamed every Briton and the name of humanity with its
toadying to the globalist agenda.
What happens is that countries like Finland and Sweden ask to join NATO
because they are scared of Russia smashing them up as it is now doing to
Ukraine.
Has Russia the manpower or resources to do that ? I do not think so. It
looks like a fantasy to me. Both countries have an excellent army and
are well prepared. To attack Russia would have to have won in Ukraine
and rebuilt it's army. In the case of Sweden I fail to grasp why they have given up decades of neutrality. Other than the way the Europeans seem now to be driven by emotion rather than common sense.
Everything suits China now. The West is weak and financially bankrupt.
The sanctioning of Russia and the seizure of Russian overseas reserves
might have been ordered by the CCP. It was dumb.
China can now tell the unaligned world that the West is untrustworthy. The target for now is the removal of the USD as the reserve currency. If the petrodollar can be removed all the better. We
are in danger. Not from China which has no need for a war to obtain
dominance but from an angered US watching it's position in the world
undermined.
The Democrat administration in Washington is a bunch of idiots who think their mission is to impose 'woke' ideology on the world, led by a President in the middle stages of dementia who is unable to grasp the simplest concept of strategy. In Europe we have completely given up on rational thought. Boris Johnson is an embarrassment but no more so than any other Nato leader.
'Russia was not a European threat until Nato asked Ukraine to join'
Technically speaking NATO does not issue invitations to
prospective new members. But the governments of some individual members
do encourage the governments of some non-members to apply to join, a
process that is probably with the approval of NATO officials.
The US and UK wanted and schemed for exactly this to happen. Good for their MICs, OGMCs and bad for Europe, in particular Germany.
What's not to like?
Unfortunately they 'forgot' that Russia would then team up with China,
India&co and that their illegal confiscations would lead to
de-dollarization and its serious consequences.
Finland&Sweden
going into NATO will only have one security consequence, the same as
bases in Eastern Europe have: an increased risk of an accidental nuclear
launch.
As for the idiotic, suicidal politicians, media and public
in Europe and in particular Germany, who cannot or do not want to see
that they are just being fleeced and taken for a ride by the Americans
and Brits who have opposing national intetests here, they can't be
helped.
NATO was established to counter the threat of the Soviet Union's Warsaw
Pact. When the Soviet Union fell apart between 1989-1991 that threat was
removed. A diminished Russia posed no real threat in terms of
expansionism, so NATO became a force for globalist imperialism, expanded remorselessly and mercilessly crushed any regime that became an obstacle to its geolpolitical ambitions. The idea that any Russian
leader would accept the loss of his main naval port is insane. Talk of admitting
Ukraine into NATO was nothing other than an outright declaration of war against
Russia.
