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.

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

"Kidnapped in Int'l Waters": Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Ship, Detains Greta Thunberg & Others

Democracy Now!   Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza.    The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza. 

How Israel’s Supporters Play Victim to Justify Genocide & Silence Critics

BreakThrough News   As Israel commits a live-streamed genocide in Gaza, Western media and political elites continue to center one narrative: Jewish fear. But what about the actual victims of this genocide—Palestinians? Journalist Nora Barrows-Friedman joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches for a fearless conversation on Zionist indoctrination in the Jewish diaspora, how antisemitism is being weaponized to silence critics of Israel, and how Jewish identity politics has been manipulated to cover for unspeakable crimes. From the media blackout on Israeli war crimes to the erasure of anti-Palestinian hate crimes—even in the diaspora—Nora lays bare the contradictions and power structures behind it all.

How the EU is using anti-Russia sanctions to criminalise journalism

The EU sanctioned me and my media outlet for covering Palestine protests in Germany. It’s part of Europe’s growing authoritarianism and militarism, cloaked in language of fighting disinformation and defending democracy.   by Hüseyin Dogru   Part 2 - How the EU uses anti-Russian hysteria to smear Palestine solidarity journalism   The official rationale for sanctioning me hinges on red .’s alleged links to Russian influence. The EU sanctions listing cited just two pieces of “evidence”: that some red. staff had previously worked for Russian-funded media, and that we covered “politically controversial subjects” – specifically: Palestine. That’s it. The listing accuses me, through my work with red ., of “facilitating violent demonstrations”, amplifying “radical Islamic terrorist narratives” and claims our staff “coordinated with occupiers”. Not a single piece of evidence is cited, apart from the fact that we published footage of a pro-Palestine student occupation in Berlin. I...

War criminal Netanyahu is pushing the Orange Clown and the US into the abyss

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, is rushing to accelerate the decline of the US empire by forcing Donald Trump into an utterly devastating war with Iran.   Trump shot himself in the foot during his first term by killing the Iran nuclear deal just because he wanted to erase everything from the Obama legacy. His insane narcissism pushed him into crazy acts and made him believe that he could make another deal with Iran credited solely on him.   But now he is in big trouble because he has to deal with a corrupted psychopath who won't hesitate to burn the entire planet just to save himself.  As if the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza was not enough, the out-of-control psychopath Netanyahu, is doing whatever he can to drag the US into a war with Iran. As he realized that the Iranians are approaching the negotiating table again, (rather surprisingly with the man that killed the first deal and assassinated Qasem Soleimani), he decide...
