NATO Heading for War with Russia?
by Stephen Lendman
US-dominated NATO is the greatest threat to world peace, stability and security. Washington wants regime change in Russia.
Economic and political wars rage. Ineffective in achieving America's aims. Russia is strong and resilient.
Putin is a master chess player. Obama is buffoon-like in comparison. His neocon infested administration threatens world peace.
Lunatics influencing policies promote permanent wars. Challenge Moscow irresponsibly.
Use Kiev's military as a proxy US force against Russia. Getting battered in the process. More on this below.
Deputy NATO Secretary-General/former US Defense Secretary for International Affairs Alexander Vershbow effectively runs the organization.
He played a major role in expanding NATO. Including outside Europe. Establishing new bases in Central Asia. Surrounding Russia with US military strength.
He calls the Russian Federation "more of an adversary than a partner." Vows "NATO enlargement will continue."
Merkel and Hollande for Peace in Ukraine: Hold the Cheers
by Stephen Lendman
On February 5, Tass headlined "France, Germany plan to work out new agreement on Ukrainian conflict settlement - Hollande." Merkel and Hollande are in Kiev on Thursday. So is John Kerry. Discussing escalated war, not peace.
Don't expect divergence from their NATO allies. Saying one thing. Pursuing another. More on this below. Tass quoted Hollande saying "(t)ogether with Angela Merket we have decided to take a new initiative."
"Later today in the afternoon, we will depart for Kiev, where we will make a new proposal on the conflict settlement bas(ed) on the territorial integrity of Ukraine."
Israeli Gaza War Crimes Investigation
by Stephen Lendman
Last August, Human Rights Council (HRC) President Baudelaire Ndong Ella announced the formation of an "independent, international commission of inquiry" into war crimes committed during Israel's Operation Protective Edge (OPE).
International human rights law expert Professor William Schabas was appointed to chair a three-person panel. His special focus is genocide.
On January 30, Israel's Geneva-based UN envoy, Eviator Manor, outrageously accused him of a "blatant conflict of interest."
A typical Israeli stunt. Demanded his immediate dismissal. Months earlier, Israel refused to cooperate with HRC's investigation. Outrageously called it a "kangaroo court" proceeding.
Chomsky & Kissinger Agree: Avoid the Historic Tragedy of Ukraine
By Kevin Zeese
The New York Times reported Tuesday that the Obama administration is considering sending more weapons to Ukraine — $3 billion worth. The Times reports: “Secretary of State John Kerry, who plans to visit Kiev on Thursday [Feb. 5], is open to new discussions about providing lethal assistance, as is Gen. Martin E. Dempsey, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, officials said.”
This follows Defense News reporting that this spring the United States will be sending troops to train the Ukrainian National Guard and commence the shipping of U.S.-funded armored vehicles. The funding for this is coming from the congressionally-authorized Global Security Contingency Fund, which was requested by the Obama administration in the fiscal year 2015 budget to help train and equip the armed forces of allies around the globe.
Kiev's Junta: Talking Peace, Waging War
by Stephen Lendman
It bears repeating what other articles explained. Ukraine is Washington's newest colony. US-installed putschists run things.
Waging war on their own citizens as Pentagon proxies. Despite over two-thirds of Ukrainians wanting peace. The vast majority of Donbas residents want fighting ended.
Dirty war without mercy rages. Throughout months of conflict, Washington continues supplying heavy weapons, funding, training and direction covertly.
CIA, FBI, special forces and other US operates infest Kiev. Joe Biden, John Kerry, Victoria Nuland, John Brennan and other US officials show up regularly to issue marching orders.
Obama Wants Congressional Authorization for Unlimited War
by Stephen Lendman
What do you call a nation permanently at war with invented enemies? An asylum run by lunatics.
They infest Washington. Many influence policies. Others make it. Obama already risks the unthinkable. Possible war with Russia.
Using Ukraine as a dagger at its heartland. Positioning thousands of US-led NATO troops near its borders. Recklessly risking nuclear war.
Daily events should scare everyone. "NATO Boosts Rapid Reaction Strike Force For War With Russia," Stop NATO headlined.
What Steven F. Cohen & Other Liberals Get Wrong About Obama & Ukraine’s War
Eric Zuesse
Liberals won’t acknowledge that they’ve “been had” by Barack Obama when they believed his liberal rhetoric; they won’t acknowledge it, even after Obama has proven by his actions that he is actually extremely conservative (a total agent of Wall Street; and, thus, inequality has been rising under his rule); Obama is conservative despite his liberal rhetoric, which is designed to deceive them; and he has — which is the worst thing of all — intentionally caused an extremely bloody ethnic cleansing in Ukraine, a war there against those of Ukraine’s citizens who think that Russia is a better country than the United States: an ethnic cleansing to cement-in, as permanent, a rabidly anti-Russian Government in Ukraine, by getting rid of the people there who had voted for the man Obama overthrew. This is, historically, the first time in history that any American President has sponsored an ethnic cleansing: it’s an attempt to exterminate a civilian population. That’s how bad Obama actually is.
Liberals won’t acknowledge either the violent coup in Ukraine, or the brutal ethnic-cleansing campaign to cement its result: an anti-Russian Government on Russia’s doorstep — a very real threat to Russia’s national security, and a very aggressive American policy against Russians.
Outrageous MSM Putin Bashing
by Stephen Lendman
Virtually all MSM sources march to the same drummer. Viciously, irresponsibly and disgracefully bashing Putin.
Making unjustifiable accusations. Repeating them ad nauseam. Inventing new ones. Substituting Big Lies for hard truths.
Regurgitating Western propaganda. Accepting it as gospel. Including State Department daily disinformation briefings.
In Tuesday, spokeswoman Jen Psaki turned truth on its head raising "concern(s) about the (nonexistent) aggressive actions of Russia and Russian-backed separatists and the steps they're taking illegally in…Ukraine."
Why Ukraine Matters to Americans
Michael Collins
On one level, Ukraine shouldn’t matter at all. The Obama administration and Congress have absolutely no business at all interfering in the internal politics and government of Ukraine. They have no business providing aid to civil society groups to promote democracy. They have no reason to take actions that directly provoke Russia by creating a virulently anti Russian, extremist state right on Russia’s border. (Image: Maxwell Hamilton)
Our rulers should be laser focused on critical issues like a dead economy, zombie banks, and climate changes that threaten the continuation of anything approaching normal life on earth. They’re not even close. Instead, this administration and many in the past waste our precious time and resources playing Monopoly with nation states and the entirety of their populations. Ask the Libyans and Syrians if you doubt this.
