Obama Ratchets Up to Invade Russia

• Obama Ratchets Up to Invade Russia

  An article published May 7th by Andrei Akulov brings together mainly Western news sources, all solid, to make the case that US President Barack Obama is pushing even highly reluctant European populations to join America’s increasingly overt hostile military stance targeting Russia as the world’s chief source of alleged «aggression» that must be stopped.
  –
  One of those sources is a Reuters article that states: «Only 22 percent of Finns support joining NATO, while 55 percent are opposed, a recent poll by public broadcaster YLE showed. Finnish membership of NATO would double the length of the border between the alliance and Russia and increase the NATO presence in the Baltic Sea». Yet, still, according to that Reuters article, Finland will probably join NATO, regardless of what the Finnish population wants. This is supposedly how ‘democracy’ functions nowadays.

  America is installing in Europe a new system that’s designed to block Russia’s ability to retaliate against a nuclear attack, but Obama sold it to European nations saying it will protect them against a nuclear attack from Iran. Now that Obama’s own agreement with Iran will assure that, for at least a decade, there won’t be any nuclear weapons in Iran, he continues this deception as if the public are mere fools – and he’s not being called to task for it (except by Russia’s President).

  In US President Obama’s definitive statement on US military policy, his National Security Strategy 2015, he cited Russia on 17 of the 18 occasions where he used the term «aggression» or its equivalents. He even played upon the old Cold-War-era anti-communist, and sometimes even anti-Semitic, charges that the Soviet Union characteristically lied, when Obama strung together there a statement about Russia that sounded just the same as such «red-scare» literature, except only using this time the term «Russia», where American far-rightists back in the 1950s had referred to the USSR or Soviet Union. He said: «And we will continue to impose significant costs on Russia through sanctions and other means while countering Moscow’s deceptive propaganda with the unvarnished truth. We will deter Russian aggression, remain alert to its strategic capabilities, and help our allies and partners resist Russian coercion over the long term, if necessary».

  If that’s not multiply hostile, then what is? It’s certainly not the type of thing one would allege if one is attempting to negotiate with a competitor, instead of to coerce an enemy – which is by now the second-term Obama Administration’s clear position regarding Russia. He had simply deceived the American public when he claimed during his re-election campaign to disagree with Republican Presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s statement about Russia, «This is without question our No. 1 geopolitical foe». His alleged disagreement with Romney about that was one of the reasons Americans re-elected Obama. But then, Obama promptly turned to planning the coup against Ukraine, which started to be activated on 1 March 2013 and wasn’t completed until 27 February 2014. (And the top officials at the EU were then shocked to learn that it had been a coup. But nonetheless, they participate in the sanctions against Russia, for, essentially, defending itself against them, and against the US.)
  –
  In the lying-department, Obama – despite his claiming that he’s «countering Moscow’s deceptive propaganda with the unvarnished truth» – vastly beats-out Russia’s leader Vladimir Putin. As I had previously documented, «The Entire Case for Sanctions Against Russia Is Pure Lies». What that article documents is: before Russia ‘seized’ Crimea (which until 1954 had been part of Russia, and which had had Russia’s main naval base since 1783, and where the population were overwhelmingly opposed to having been transferred to Ukraine in 1954 by the Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev), Obama had violently overthrown the democratically elected President of Ukraine, for whom 75% of Crimeans had voted, and then Obama’s goons started directly attacking Crimeans, virtually terrorizing them to flee from the newly installed Kiev government. But as you’ll see in that article exposing the entire case for sanctions against Russia, Obama’s lies about Crimea are even broader than that, and he needs these lies as his ‘justification’ for what he’s now doing along Russia’s borders: installing US nuclear weapons against Russia.
