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".

“Russia & China Preparing For War With The US!”

The Jimmy Dore Show   Colonel Douglas Macgregor explains that as a result of recent military conflicts, Russia, China, and Iran have become allies, and that Beijing and Moscow have concluded that "if we let Iran fail, we're next on the menu" from what he describes as a "rogue state led by a rogue personality," meaning they will intervene to prevent Iran's collapse if the US threatens it. He tells Jimmy Dore that Putin called Trump for an hour and a half to make it clear that a military campaign in Iran would not succeed and would make the situation much worse, offering to store Iran's enriched uranium as a diplomatic gesture. Macgregor warns that if the US restarts the war, China could send 40 or 50 surface combatants and submarines to the Indian Ocean, and Russia could fly MiG-31s into Iranian airspace — not to provoke a direct confrontation but to "make a point." He concludes that the British Empire overreached and overextended with World War...

US Warships Under Fire: Iran Hits Back & Blasts UAE

MintPress News  "PROJECT FREEDOM." Trump calls it humanitarian aid. We call it what he already admitted it is: piracy. On Friday, Trump boasted that US forces seizing Iranian ships and oil were "sort of like pirates, but we are not playing games."  By Sunday, he had rebranded the blockade as "Project Freedom"—a military escort operation to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Today, that operation went live: 15,000 US troops, guided-missile destroyers, and over 100 aircraft are enforcing American "freedom" at gunpoint. Let's be clear: Washington didn't enter the Strait to defend commerce. It entered to monopolize commerce—to maintain imperial control over the world's oil arteries and strangle Iran's economy.  Iran knows this. That's why closing the Strait and establishing its own transit protocols remains its strongest card in the fight for self-determination. When Trump confessed to piracy, he wasn't joking. He was c...

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...

Billionaires are social distancing in super yachts as tens of millions lose jobs

Everyday, it becomes clearer: the COVID-19 pandemic is hitting poor, working, and marginalized communities the hardest. Millions of workers – especially low-wage retail, food service, hospitality, and care workers – have faced the terrible choice daily between going to work and risking their health, or staying home and risking their paychecks. Many other workers don’t even have that choice, with around 30 million people in the US filing for unemployment in the past six weeks. But billionaires don’t face these same problems. As tens of millions have lost their jobs over the past two months, billionaire wealth soared by a whopping $282 billion between March 18 and April 10, according to a new study from the Institute for Policy Studies.  And while finding enough space to wait out the pandemic is something many struggle with, billionaires have been escaping to their second (or third, or fourth) homes to ride it out in luxury – all while they position themselves to ...

Οι ιδιώτες 'επενδυτές' ως η μόνη επιλογή για ανάκαμψη: άλλο ένα παραμύθι του νεοφιλελέ κατεστημένου

Άλλη μια 'ιερή αγελάδα' της νεοφιλελεύθερης χούντας που κανείς δεν επιτρέπεται ούτε καν να διανοηθεί να αμφισβητήσει του system failure Το Ελληνικό πείραμα διανύει ήδη τον έβδομο χρόνο του με την οικονομία ρημαγμένη και κανένα σημάδι ανάκαμψης στον ορίζοντα. Εκτός από την απόλυτη αποτυχία των νεοφιλελεύθερων πολιτικών που επιβλήθηκαν στην Ελλάδα από την Τρόικα της καταστροφής, έχει ενδιαφέρον κανείς να εξετάσει και τον τρόπο που τα νεοφιλελεύθερα αφηγήματα έχουν επηρεάσει σε μεγάλο βαθμό την κοινή γνώμη, με αποτέλεσμα να καταλήγουν αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι ενός στρεβλού ορθολογισμού μέσα στις κοινωνίες. Η διαδικασία αυτή γίνεται με όχημα, κυρίως, την προπαγάνδα και την πλύση εγκεφάλου από τα ΜΜΕ και το πολιτικό κατεστημένο. Ένα από τα κεντρικά κλισέ των φερέφωνων του νεοφιλελευθερισμού στην Ελλάδα και αλλού αφορά την απόλυτη αναγκαιότητα των ιδιωτών 'επενδυτών' για την ανάκαμψη της οικονομίας.

From Moscow to Beijing: Eye on good neighbors with deep people-to-people ties

How Western societies lost their faith in Vision

Why people don't rise up massively today? Why there are no real revolutions? How we tolerate all things that have been imposed to us? These questions come up in people's minds more and more often today in Greece and abroad, due to the economic crisis. Some theories are circulated as an answer, among these, explanations which include, for example, the psychosynthesis of modern Greeks, but the truth is that there is something more fundamental behind this passive behaviour and concerns not only Greece, but the entire Western world. by system failure Prior to the beginning of the 20th century, Friedrich Nietzsche declares God's death and Western world will put all its hopes in science. Laplace's Determinism leads to the almighty man, who through science, can find all the answers for the world.
