the US empire is accelerating toward global conflict on two fronts a lot of mir Putin has announced that referendum will be held in four regions of the eastern part of Ukraine whose populations will now vote on whether to join the Russian federation much like the Crimea referendum of two thousand fourteen which resulted in Russia's annexation of that territory Putin announced that three hundred thousand additional troops2/14
will be mobilized for the war to help facilitate this action which is a major escalation in the conflict by any measure Putin also issued a stern nuclear warning that's being hysterically spawned by empire manager is as a shocking and unprecedented Lee bellicose threat but if you read what he actually said it's clear that he's really reminding the west of the same principles of mutually assured destruction3/14
that have been in place for generations and isn't actually expressing any position that western nuclear powers don't also hold quote nuclear blackmail was also launched we are talking not only about the shelling of the zapper Asian nuclear power plant which is encouraged by the west which threatens a nuclear catastrophe but also about the statements of some high ranking representatives of the leading NATO states about the4/14
possibility an admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia nuclear weapons to those who allow themselves to make such statements about Russia I would like to remind you that our country also has various means of destruction and for some components more modern than those of the NATO countries and if the territorial integrity of our country is threatened we will certainly use all the means at5/14
our disposal to protect Russia and our people that's not a bluff the citizens of Russia can be sure that the territorial integrity of our motherland our independence and freedom will be insured I am a size this again with all the means at our disposal and those who are trying to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know that the wind can also turn in their direction and6/14
quote so while this war is indeed insanely dangerous it's not because of any of the words coming out of a lot of air pollutants mouth westerners who are expressing shock and astonishment at Putin's Frank acknowledgment of what's at stake in Russia's increasingly direct confrontation with the U. S. empire I really just admitting that they haven't been paying attention the risk of nuclear war is why sensible7/14
people have spent years calling for de escalation and detente between the US and Russia while tensions have been steadily building since long before the invasion of Ukraine now there are western officials who say the world is actually at greater risk of nuclear war than it ever was during the last Cold War a nuclear conflict could be sparked by either side making a calculated decision to use8/14
nuclear weapons and you're fooling yourself if you believe the US is any less trigger happy in that regard than Russia but it can also be sparked by either side due to a mistake resulting from a technological malfunction miscommunication misunderstanding or miscalculation as nearly happened many times during the last Cold War the more things escalate the more likely boasts both such possibilities become and clearly things are9/14
escalating and that's just Russia tensions are rapidly escalating between the U. S. centralized empire in China as well in an article for antiwar dot com titled there's little more Washington can do to convince China to invade Taiwan Andrew Corley describes the frighteningly extensive provocations the US has been pouring into another massive geo political powder keg just in the past few weeks in the last fifty days10/14
the executive and legislative branches in Washington have done more than in the last fifty years to convince China that America's imperial policy is simply relentless and must be met with force courtly rights that's not to say it's by any means a given that the people's Republic of China will invade its cross straits neighbor of Taiwan but that is to say that if strategic planners in Washington11/14
sat down and created a bulleted list of how to facilitate such an invasion they would probably have gone through all the bullets by now courtly notes the incendiary visit to Taiwan by Nancy Pelosi which has since been followed by a daily wage of additional U. S. officials resident Biden's repeated and increasingly explicit commitment to plunge the US into direct hot war with China if there's an12/14
attack on Taiwan and the Senate foreign relations committee is insanely escalatory Taiwan policy act when you look at the brazenness ferocity and aggression of those provocations between two nations who logically should never go to war with each other it really does look as though the empire is putting the pedal to the metal and acceleration toward global conflict on paper it looks completely irrational for the U.13/14
S. empire to be ramping up aggressions against two powerful military and economic forces simultaneously but it's undeniable at this point that that is what's happening clearly our rulers have some kind of strategy for how they're going to see this through so it remains to be seen whether that strategy is the desperate hail Mary pass of a dying empire or a potentially highly effective plan using tools
