Cold War 2.0: Dangerous games from Washington's "hawks"

by system failure

Latest numerous indications show that the US surround Russia, attempting to isolate the country militarily, politically and economically. The support of neo-nazis in Ukraine was aiming to drag Russia into an attrition war in East Ukraine, for a start. Some analysts claim that Washington's "hawks" prepare a nuclear "preventive" strike against Russia because they believe that they can obviate Russian or Chinese retaliation, using the anti-missile shield in East Europe.

Unfortunatelly, there are indications that this may be possible. According to latest information, Washington proceeds in actions to surround China as well. It is not accidental that these revelations come after the recent big agreement between Russia and China on the energy sector. According to some analysts, the US transfer 60% of their naval forces to the Asian Pasific, while they plan to build a similar "anti-missile" system in the region.

Why the American economic elite rushes to "burn" the planet? The answer is that probably they were surprised by the turn of Russia, which almost surrendered to the Russian oligarchs and was ready to be "absorbed" by the neoliberal doctrine. Putin's moves found the Western oligarchs unready and now they run to cover the distance. A "preventive" nuclear strike is probably the last solution in the agenda, in case that the plan for the dissolution of the vast Russian territory won't work.

The fact that Putin tries to nationalize the economy and the banking system completely, in an attempt to protect Russia from the expansion of the global neoliberal dictatorship, explains to a great extent why the international banksters have declared war against him.

It seems that a modest Obama receives high, continuous pressure by the White House neocon "hawks" and the American economic elite, to pull the new cold war to the edge, challenging Russia to involve in a "warm" incident which will give a pretext to Washington to proceed in a "preventive" nuclear strike. This may be another reason why Putin hesitates to intervene openly in the East Ukraine as he did in Crimea.

Additionally to all these, the new "headache" for Obama, is the sudden Jihadist onslaught by ISIL in Iraq. In case that ISIL will prevail in Iraq, the organization will target Western governments, according to some analysts.

The general situation in Middle East is also chaotic (inside the civil war, bomb attacks have started in Homs, a city which already suffered heavily by the civil war, http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/06/19/367719/3-killed-in-w-syria-car-bomb-attack/ as well as in Hama: http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/06/20/367797/car-bomb-blast-kills-34-syrians-in-hama/).

Obama is quite obviously confused by the Jihadist onslaught in Iraq since "hawks" want to get rid of the dead-end mess that they've created there, in order to concentrate on Russia. The Obama announcement concerning his willing to send some military advisers to Iraq seems at least hypocritical considering that in different situations Americans were ready to send troops under the slightest pretext. It seems that they have decided to abandon the government-puppet there:

It appears that Obama is trying to gain some time, balancing between Washington's "hawks" pressure and the chaotic situation in the East Ukraine and Middle East, until the end of his term, in order to throw the "hot potato" to the hands of the next US president.

Unfortunately, it seems that things are worse than in the period of the first cold war, and one significant reason for that, is the schizophrenic belief of Washington's neocons that Russia does not have the power to respond in a nuclear attack. On the contrary, during the first cold war period, there were "underground communication channels" between the two superpowers which were assisting on the mutual retreat, even in very crucial moments, like in the case of the Cuba missile crisis, when the Soviets installed nuclear missiles on the island, as a response to the installation of US nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey. It seems that for the moment, there are no such communication channels between the US and Russia and situation is getting more and more dangerous.

The American economic elite, probably prepares the scenery for a more "willing" puppet in power after the end of the Obama administration. It appears that, for the moment, the most probable person for this role is Hillary Clinton, for impression and distraction purposes too (she will be the first woman president of the United States, if elected, after Obama, who is the first African-American president).

Hillary Clinton seems more willing to play the dangerous game of Washington's "hawks" - she recently liken Putin's actions with Hitler's during 30s - while we should not forget that Bill Clinton brought a bloodbath in Bosnia and Yugoslavia through NATO bombings during 90s. We should not forget also that Clinton was the one who opened the way for the total dominance of neoliberalism in the West, after the advices from the bankers:

    I largely agree, with one major exception. It is incorrect to exclusively blame the US financial elite. The European aristocracy, including the Rothschilds, is also apparently in cahoots. The Western Axis Cartel cannot be traced to a single country of origin.

    It is always more strategic to identify your enemy precisely.

      You are right. However, the article refer to the world financial elites too through phrases like "Western oligarchs", "global neoliberal dictatorship", or, "international banksters".

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide.

Trump Welcomes Syrian Leader & “REFORMED” TERRORIST To White House!

The Jimmy Dore Show   President Donald Trump is planning a White House welcome for Syria’s new president, former al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who was installed after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Jimmy Dore argues that the U.S. and its allies, including Israel, have long funded extremist groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda to serve foreign policy interests in the Middle East, so the embrace of al-Sharaa makes sense, even if it might confuse anyone who thought we took seriously the so-called “War on Terror.” He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger contrast Trump’s willingness to meet with alleged terrorists to his refusal to engage in dialogue with leaders like Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, accusing U.S. policy of hypocrisy and imperialism.

Zionists’ LONG HISTORY Of False Flags & STAGED Attacks!

The Jimmy Dore Show   In recent years several alleged anti-Semitic incidents, including graffiti and vandalism, were later revealed to have been staged or “false flag” operations carried out by Jewish perpetrators to create sympathy or shift the public narrative in Israel’s favor. Jimmy Dore presents investigations that revealed hoaxes and uses them to argue that media and political institutions exploit victimhood to silence criticism of Israel. He then expands the discussion to accuse Israeli and Zionist figures of deceit in global politics and misinformation about Gaza. It ends with commentary that the term “anti‑Semitic” has lost meaning due to its politicization and misuse.

Will Mamdani manage to liberate New York from brutal neoliberalism?

globinfo freexchange    Fifty years ago, New York City was on the verge of collapse . The politicians who run the city had borrowed more and more money from the banks to pay for its growing services and welfare. But in the early 70s, the middle classes fled from the city and the taxes they paid disappeared with them. So, the banks lent the city even more. But then, they began to worry about the size of the growing debt and whether the city would ever be able to pay it back. And then, one day in 1975, the banks just stopped.   The city held its regular meeting to issue bonds in return for the loans, overseen by the city's financial controller. The banks were supposed to turn up at 11 a.m., but it soon became clear that none of them were going to appear. The meeting was rescheduled for 2 p.m. and the banks promised they would turn up. What happened that day in New York, marked a radical shift in power. The banks insisted that in order to protect their loans, they sho...

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Priceless: Zelensky told the truth about the war in Ukraine at its beginning!

globinfo freexchange    How did this escape the radars of mainstream media? Well, the answer is obvious, yet still, it is astonishing the fact that already back in 2022, at the beginning of the war in Ukraine, one of the major outlets of Western imperialism, actually translated this part of the interview with West's puppet, Volodymyr Zelensky. At 12:28 of the video, Zelensky starts spelling the truth about the real reason behind the war in Ukraine!    Zelensky admits:                            There are those in the West who don't mind a long war because it would mean exhausting Russia, even if this means the demise of Ukraine and the cost of Ukrainian lives. This is definitely in the interest of some countries. For other countries, it would be better if the war ended quickly because Russia's market is big one that their economies are su...
