				Background
				(1991-Present)
				
				The fall of the Soviet Union marked the beginning of a highly 
				dangerous new phase of American aggression against a severely 
				weakened Russia. 
				 
				
				For the
				
				Rockefeller 
				Empire, it represented a golden opportunity to 
				destroy their former adversary, Russia, as a functioning agent. 
				If they could succeed in destroying Russia, they believed they 
				could eliminate the only remaining serious obstacle to what the 
				Pentagon called Full Spectrum Domination - total control of 
				land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace. 
				 
				
				One Sole Superpower 
				could dictate to the entire world as it saw fit. This was the 
				mad dream of David, his family and allies.
				
				The 1990s was a time of immense suffering for the Russian 
				people. 
				 
				
				As the impending 
				collapse of the USSR became discernable, insiders created a 
				planning group to ensure the continued influence of Soviet-era 
				officials by transferring Russian state assets to offshore shell 
				companies and thus stripping the country's wealth. 
				 
				
				One such offshore 
				company, FIMACO, was used to pilfer an estimated $50 billion 
				from the nation. It was through this looting that liquid capital 
				was generated and used by future oligarchs to build their 
				fortunes. 
				 
				
				An early beneficiary 
				of this arrangement was Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who had started 
				his career as a minor Soviet official and whose Yukos oil 
				conglomerate was tied to FIMACO. And FIMACO was tied to Jacob 
				Rothschild, in London.
				
				In 1991 the Soviet Union finally collapsed. That August, state 
				treasurer Nikolai Kruchina, responsible for Russia's gold 
				reserves, died by falling from his window. 
				 
				
				He had been a member 
				of the planning group which originated the plot to steal state 
				assets. 
				 
				
				His successor 
				Georgy Pavlov fell to his death from a window two months 
				later:
				
					
					the oligarchs 
					were cleaning house. 
				
				
				In September, the 
				Russian central bank announced the Kremlin's gold reserves had 
				inexplicably dropped from the estimated 1000-1500 tons to a mere 
				240 tons. 
				 
				
				Two months later, 
				Victor Gerashchenko announced Russia's gold reserves had 
				actually entirely vanished. 
				 
				
				While the Russian 
				public was horrified at the revelation, European bankers were 
				less surprised. It was whispered frequently among those circles 
				that Soviet transport planes had been flying to and from 
				Switzerland for months and selling off large amounts of gold. 
				Boris Yeltsin announced his plans to privatize the nation's 
				assets and the real looting began.
				
				During the privatization period, the networks of the 2 families 
				wasted no time in opportunistically swooping in to take over 
				Russian industries. 
				 
				
				
				
				The Clinton 
				administration sought to redesign the economic policies of the 
				nascent Russian Federation according to the Washington 
				Consensus: 
				
					
					privatization, 
					deregulation, austerity, and the opening up of Russia's 
					companies to purchase by ultra-wealthy Americans. 
					
				
				
				Foreign investors 
				flocked in and the level of greed among this fifth column of new 
				Muscovites was truly astonishing.
				 
				 
				
				
				Enter 
				Putin
				
				Soon after taking office in 1999, Vladimir Putin, a 
				nationalist with a long career in Russian intelligence, faced 
				the daunting task of trying to undo, or at least limit, the 
				damage that the criminal cronies of Yeltsin and their 
				foreign partners had done to Russia.
 
				 
				 
				
				Putin Kicks out 
				the Rothschilds
				
				The criminality was not limited to foreign speculators. 
				
				 
				
				During the early 
				period of privatization in the 90s,
				
				the Rothschilds organized a 
				secret society of seven Russian oligarchs entirely 
				controlled Boris Yeltsin's administration. 
				 
				
				This group called 
				itself Semibankirschina, named after the Seven Boyars 
				who controlled Russia during the 17th century. 
				
				 
				
				The secret society 
				included the following oligarchs: 
				
					
						- 
						
						Boris 
						Berezovsky 
- 
						
						Mikhail 
						Khodorkovsky 
- 
						
						Mikhail 
						Fridman 
- 
						
						Petr Aven 
- 
						
						Vladimir 
						Gusinsky 
- 
						
						Vladimir 
						Potanin 
- 
						
						Alexander 
						Smolensky 
				
				They all worked for 
				the Rothschilds - or London - and more specifically, for Jacob 
				Rothschild.
				
				In late 1999, Vladimir Putin became president of Russia 
				and the fortunes of these self-appointed rulers rapidly turned 
				for the worse. 
				 
				
				A new group of Putin 
				insiders formed - the Slivoki (made up of Russian nationalists 
				from the security and business world) and began supplanting the 
				previous access that the Semibankirschina had to the president.
				
				 
				
				From a strong 
				position, Putin negotiated a "grand bargain" with the remaining 
				oligarchs: they retained most of their existing assets in return 
				for alignment with Putin's vertical rule of Russia. 
				 
				
				The era of financial 
				gangsterism from the 1990s was over. In 2001, a state takeover 
				of media seized the television networks previously owned by the 
				Rothschild puppets.
				 
				
				It was with these 
				moves by Putin, from early March 2000, that led to a break up of 
				Rothschild control over Russia. These oligarchs all belonged to 
				Jacob Rothschild. And, they were stealing Russia blind.
				
				David Rockefeller couldn't be bothered with such small takings.
				
				 
				
				Here, the key was to 
				bring Russia into the dollar world-this was more profitable for 
				his empire. In addition, a series of geopolitical confrontations 
				on Russia's borders served his empire greatly. The first such 
				was the Chechen wars of 1994, and 1999/2000. 
				 
				
				This, Putin ended, 
				quickly and ruthlessly.
				
				The military occupation of Iraq was the first major step in this 
				American strategy to move oil into the oil companies of the 2 
				families. 
				 
				
				Then, Russian 
				investments in Iraq were lost after the US invasion in March 
				2003. In addition, following the Afghanistan invasion in October 
				2001, the Pentagon began spreading its presence in Central Asia- 
				to the discomfort of both Russia and China. 
				 
				
				For obvious military 
				and political reasons, Washington could not admit openly that 
				since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, its strategic goal 
				had been to dis-member or de-construct Russia, thereby gaining 
				effective control over its huge oil and gas reserves.
				
				These two wars were but the opening shots of a series of 
				geopolitical oil and energy "pipeline wars" - undeclared wars, 
				but wars in every sense of the word. They were wars, overt and 
				covert, spanning Eurasia, the Middle East and Africa. 
				
				 
				
				The energy wars were 
				fought with bombs, with terror tactics, and with drones. They 
				also fought with sophisticated new methods of political 
				destabilization of uncooperative regimes through what were 
				called Color Revolutions. 
				 
				
				The goal was simple: 
				Rockefeller control through the Pentagon and the CIA of all 
				significant oil and gas deposits PLUS pipelines to transport 
				this in order to be able to control the emerging Eurasian 
				economic colossus, especially China and Russia (and later 
				India). 
				 
				
				The goal would be 
				achieved by any means necessary. 
				 
				
				The NATO encirclement 
				of Russia, the Color Revolutions across Eurasia, and the war in 
				Iraq, were all aspects of one and the same American geopolitical 
				strategy: 
				
					
					a grand strategy 
					to de-construct Russia once and for all as a potential rival 
					to a sole US Superpower hegemony. 
				
				
				The end of the 
				Yeltsin era put a slight crimp in Washington's grand plans.
				
				 
				
				Following the Wall 
				Street-City of London guided looting of Russia by networks of 
				the 2 families, a shrewder and more sober Putin cautiously 
				emerged as a dynamic nationalistic force, committed to 
				rebuilding Russia.
				 
				 
				
				
				Putin 
				Breaks with the Rockefellers
				
				A defining event in Russian energy geopolitics took place in 
				2003. 
				 
				
				Just as Washington 
				had taken over Iraq, Putin ordered the spectacular arrest of 
				Russia's billionaire oligarch, Mikhail Khordokovsk - or 
				MK, on charges of tax evasion. 
				 
				
				Putin then froze 
				shares of Khordokovsky's giant Yukos Oil group, putting 
				it under state control. What had triggered Putin's dramatic 
				action?
				
				MK was working for Jacob Rothschild. He was a Rothschild front. 
				In March 2000, MK was present with all the other oligarch's 
				called to a meeting by Putin. 
				 
				
				The oligarch's had 
				made a pledge to Putin - that if they stayed out of Russian 
				politics, and repatriated a share of their stolen money (in 
				effect, stolen from the state in rigged bidding under Yeltsin) 
				they would be allowed to keep their assets. 
				 
				
				All of these 
				oligarchs were Rothschild fronts. 
				 
				
				Most accepted, with 
				the exception of Rothschilds Jewish oligarchs. Putin went after 
				that, as they broke their pledge to him. And so did MK. He was 
				busy buying up the Duma - Russia's parliament- as a first step, 
				in a plan to run against Putin in 2004.
				
				In the meantime Mikhail Khodorkovsky' was negotiating with 2 
				Rockefeller oil companies, Exxon and Chevron, to sell 40% of 
				Yukos Oil (for the sum of $25 billion). 
				 
				
				Had this deal gone 
				through, Russia's economic and financial independence would be 
				over. 
				 
				
				This 40% stake would 
				have given Washington, the US oil giants, and the Rockefeller 
				family a de facto veto power over future Russian oil and gas 
				deals and pipelines. At the time of his arrest, Yukos had just 
				begun steps to acquire Sibneft, a very large Russian oil 
				company. 
				 
				
				The combined 
				Yukos-Sibneft enterprise, with 20 billion barrels of oil and 
				gas, would then have owned the second-largest oil and gas 
				reserves in the world - in private hands, and not state-owned.
				
				 
				
				The Exxon buy-up of 
				Yukos-Sibneft would have been a literal energy coup-d'état. 
				David Rockefeller and Jacob Rothschild knew it. So did the White 
				House. 
				 
				
				MK knew it. Above 
				all, Vladimir Putin knew it, and moved decisively to block it.
				
				 
				
				Putin moved against 
				him in October 2003, and arrested him.
				
				It was during the purge of oligarchs and vulture capitalists 
				that the true power behind Mikhail Khodorkovsky emerged.
				
				 
				
				When it became likely 
				he would be arrested, he arranged to have all his shares from 
				the Yukos Oil Company transferred to the ownership of 
				
				Jacob Rothschild. 
				
				 
				
				The transfer took 
				place in November of 2003, giving Jacob Rothschild a 40-45% 
				control of Yukos, estimated to be worth $25 billion. 
				 
				
				Putin subsequently 
				liquidated and nationalized Yukos by seizing and selling off its 
				shares to state oil companies. Putin restored to Russia what was 
				stolen by Jacob Rothschild, once the richest man in the country, 
				Mikhail Khodorkovsky's fortunes turned for the worse. 
				
				 
				
				In 2003, Khodorkovsky 
				was criminally prosecuted by Putin for tax evasion and fraud for 
				which he ended up serving 10 years in Jail, and was subsequently 
				exiled. When the rigged auction sales of state assets took place 
				in 1995/96, most of the companies got sold for as little as 5% 
				of its value. 
				 
				
				And, Yukos got 
				"purchased" for less than $400 million, when its true worth was 
				far more than that.
				
				So Putin has declared war on the most powerful families on the 
				planet. From this moment on, it would a fight between Putin and 
				the 2 families. Putin has survived many attempts on his life by 
				these 2 networks of power. 
				 
				
				Ever since Putin 
				arrested Khordolovsky in 2003, the Kremlin had been putting the 
				engines of economic control into state hands once again.
				
				One of Putin's first agenda items was to pay off all debt to the 
				IMF and holdover loans from the Soviet era, thus freeing itself 
				from Rothschild interference. This enabled Putin to reduce their 
				influence over Russia's destiny.
				
				The events in Russia were soon followed by CIA - financed covert 
				destabilizations in Eurasia - the Color Revolutions against 
				governments on Russia's periphery.
				
				Putin began to make a series of defensive moves to restore some 
				tenable form of equilibrium in the face of Washington's 
				increasingly obvious policy of encircling and weakening Russia.
				
				 
				
				Subsequent US 
				strategic blunders made the job a bit easier for Russia. 
				
				 
				
				Now, with the stakes 
				rising on both sides - NATO and Russia - Putin's Russia moved 
				beyond simple defense to a new dynamic offensive aimed at 
				securing a more viable geopolitical position by using its energy 
				as the lever.
				
				By 2003, after Iraq was occupied by US and British forces, the 
				most urgent priority for the US, was the control of Russian oil, 
				gas, and its associated pipelines. 
				 
				
				For that to happen, a 
				coup in the tiny Republic of Georgia was deemed essential, as 
				well as a similar coup in Ukraine. If pro-US regimes could be 
				installed in both countries, not only would the military 
				security of Russia itself be mortally threatened, but also 
				Russia's ability to control the export of its oil and gas to the 
				EU would be severely hampered.
				
				In January 2004, the Rose Revolution put into power Washington's 
				candidate for President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili. 
				With their man firmly installed in Tblis i - BP and the Anglo 
				American oil consortium moved swiftly to complete a 1,800 km 
				pipeline from Baku via TYblisi to Ceyhan in Turkey's 
				Mediterranean, at a cost of some $3.6 billion. 
				 
				
				With the construction 
				of this (BTC) pipeline, a major part in the weakening of 
				Russia's oil and energy independence appeared in place.
				
				In November 2004, the CIA put their man into power in the 
				Ukraine. 
				 
				
				This coup was dubbed 
				the Orange Revolution. Ukraine was of greater strategic 
				importance for Russia than Georgia. This was due the several oil 
				and gas pipelines transiting Ukraine to the EU. To cut these 
				pipelines at the Ukraine border would have dealt a severe 
				economic blow to Russia when she could ill afford such a loss.
				
				 
				
				With Poland already 
				in NATO, a NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia would almost 
				completely encircle Russia with hostile neighbors, creating an 
				existential threat to the very survival of Russia itself. 
				
				 
				
				Putin knew this, but 
				his options were limited. Washington knew what the stakes were, 
				and it was doing everything short of open war against a nuclear 
				opponent to push the agenda.
				
				By 2005, the key oil companies of the two families (London) BP, 
				Shell, Total; New York (Exxon, Chevron) had gained control over 
				most of the oil of the Caspian Sea. The control of energy - 
				globally - by the big Four oil companies of the 2 families,
				
					
				
				
				...was the 
				cornerstone of their global strategy.
				
				It was clear within the Rockefeller family discussions, and in 
				Washington policy circles that in order to control those global 
				oil and gas flows, the US needed to project its military power 
				far more aggressive , to achieve a total military supremacy, 
				which was what Full Spectrum Dominance was all about.
				
				 
				
				The strategists of 
				Full Spectrum domination envisioned control of pretty much the 
				entire universe, including outer and inner-space, from the 
				galaxy, to the body, to the mind. 
				 
				
				Now, you know the 
				sick, devious and cunning minds that brought about Covid, in 
				order to lock down the global economy - why? - in order to save 
				the Rockefeller Empires financial and banking systems.
				 
				 
				
				
				
				 
				 
				
				
				Russian 
				Energy Geopolitics
				
				In 2004, Russia was not a world-class power. In terms of energy, 
				it was a colossus. 
				 
				
				In terms of landmass 
				it was still the largest nation in the world, spanning 11 time 
				zones. It had vast territory and natural resources, and the 
				world's largest reserves of natural gas, while its oil reserves 
				stood at 150 billion barrels, with the potential to increase 
				this figure greatly, as large parts of Russia are still not 
				explored.
				
				Russia's state-owned natural gas pipeline network, the 'unified 
				transportation system', includes a vast network of pipelines and 
				compressor stations extending more than 400,000 kms across 
				Russia. 
				 
				
				Just the modern 
				replacement cost of this, today, would be in the region of $1-2 
				trillion! 
				 
				
				By law, only the 
				state-owned Gazprom was allowed to use the pipeline. This 
				network was perhaps the most valued Russian state asset other 
				than the oil and gas itself. Here was the heart of Putin's new 
				energy geopolitics. 
				 
				
				Putin was using 
				Russia's energy trump card to build economic ties across Eurasia 
				from West to East, North to South. Washington was not at all 
				pleased.
				
				Russia had never stopped being a powerful entity that produced 
				state-of-the-art military technologies. 
				 
				
				While its army, navy 
				and air force were in a poor condition in 1990, the elements for 
				Russia's resurgence as a military powerhouse were still in 
				place. Russia had consistently fielded top-notch military 
				technology at various international trade shows , using the 
				world arms export market to keep its most vital military 
				technology base intact. 
				 
				
				Weapons exports had 
				been one of the best ways for Russia to earn much needed hard 
				currency in the 1990s till now. The Russian nuclear arsenal also 
				played an important role , providing fundamental security for 
				the Russian state.
				
				The Russian Central Bank had become the world's 3rd largest 
				dollar reserve holder behind China and Japan. In addition, it 
				was the only power on the face of the earth with the potential 
				military capabilities to match those of the US. 
				 
				
				In 2005, in a speech 
				delivered in front of Russia's Federal Assembly, Russian 
				President Vladimir Putin said that the fall of the Soviet Union 
				was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe in Russia's history.
				
				 
				
				What he meant is that 
				the fragmentation of the Soviet Union would cost Russia the 
				element that had allowed it to survive foreign invasions since 
				the 18th century: strategic depth.
				
				For a European country to defeat Russia decisively, it would 
				have to take Moscow. The distance to Moscow is great and would 
				wear down any advancing army, requiring reinforcements and 
				supplies to be moved to the front. 
				 
				
				As they would advance 
				into Russia, the attackers' forces would be inevitably weakened. 
				Hitler and Napoleon reached Moscow exhausted. Both were beaten 
				by distance and winter, and by the fact that the defenders were 
				not at the end of their supply line.
				
				At the height of the Cold War, St. Petersburg was about 1,600kms 
				from NATO forces, and Moscow about 2,100kms. Today, St. 
				Petersburg is about 150kms away and Moscow about 800kms. 
				
				 
				
				For Putin, the 
				primary threat to Russia is from the west. It has always been 
				the goal of the Rockefellers to secure total economic and 
				political control over Russia. The British father of 
				geopolitics, Halford Mackinder, stated in 1904, that 
				control over Russia who determine who would control the vast 
				expanses of Eurasia, and by extension the entire world. 
				
				 
				
				British foreign 
				policy, from 1904, was dedicated to preventing, at all costs, 
				the emergence of a cohesive Eurasian pivot power centered on 
				Russia and capable of challenging British hegemony.
				
				Mackinder summed up his ideas with the following dictum:
				
					
						- 
						
						Who rules 
						East Europe commands the Heartland
 
 
- 
						
						Who rules the 
						Heartland commands the World-Island
 
 
- 
						
						Who rules the 
						world- Island commands the world. 
				
				Mackinder's Heartland 
				was the core of Eurasia - Ukraine and Russia. 
				 
				
				The World Island was 
				all of Eurasia, including Europe, the Middle East and Asia. 
				Britain was never a part of Continental Europe; it was a 
				separate naval and maritime power, and should remain so whatever 
				the cost.
				
				The Mackinder geopolitical perspective shaped Britain's entry 
				into both World War 1 and 2. It shaped American involvement in 
				Europe from 1941.
				
				The gradual re-emergence of a dynamic Russia in the Heartland of 
				Eurasia , one that was growing economically closer to China and 
				to key nations of Western Europe, was the very development that 
				Nezezinski had warned could mortally threaten American 
				dominance. 
				 
				
				It was Halford 
				Mackinder's worst nightmare. 
				 
				
				Ironically, 
				Washington's bingled invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq , and its 
				crude elaboration of its "war on Terror" had directly helped to 
				bring that Eurasian cooperation about. 
				 
				
				One of Putin's 
				favorite sayings is,
				
					
					"We must trade as 
					a single market, from Vladivostok to Rotterdam" 
				
				
				Both the families get 
				a heart attack when they hear Putin saying this. It also created 
				the backdrop for the Georgian conflict in August 2008.
				
				But, first let's look Putin's speech at Munich - this changed 
				the contours and dynamics of international relations, from this 
				point on.
				 
				 
				
				
				Putin's 
				2007 Munich Speech
				
				At the 2007 annual Munich Security Conference, as the Bush 
				administration had announced plans to install US missile defense 
				systems in Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic, Russia's 
				Putin delivered a scathing critique of the US lies and violation 
				of their 1990 assurances on NATO. 
				 
				
				By that time 10 
				former communist Eastern states had been admitted to NATO 
				despite the 1990 US promises. 
				 
				
				Furthermore, both 
				Ukraine and Georgia were candidates to join NATO following 
				US-led Color Revolutions in both countries in 2003-4. Putin 
				rightly argued the US missiles were aimed at Russia, not North 
				Korea or Iran.
				
				In his 2007 Munich remarks Putin told his Western audience,
				
				
					
					"It turns out 
					that NATO has put its frontline forces on our borders, and 
					we have the right to ask: against whom is this expansion 
					intended? 
					 
					
					And what happened 
					to the assurances our western partners made after the 
					dissolution of the Warsaw Pact? Where are those declarations 
					today? No one even remembers them."
				
				
				Putin added, 
				
				
					
					"But I will allow 
					myself to remind this audience what was said. I would like 
					to quote the speech of NATO General Secretary Mr. Woerner in 
					Brussels on 17 May 1990."
				
				
				He said at the time 
				that: 
				
					
					"the fact that we 
					are ready not to place a NATO army outside of German 
					territory gives the Soviet Union a firm security guarantee.
					
					 
					
					Where are these 
					guarantees?" 
				
				
				That was 15 years 
				ago.
 
				 
				
				
				 
				
				
				Putin spoke in Munich in general terms about Washington's vision 
				of a "unipolar " world, with one center of authority, one center 
				of force, one center of decision making, calling it a,
				
					
					"world in which 
					there is one master, one sovereign. And at the end of the 
					day this is pernicious not only for all those within the 
					system, but also for the sovereign itself because it 
					destroys itself from within."
				
				
				Putin was talking 
				about the US. 
				 
				
				Then Putin got to the 
				heart of the matter:
				
					
					"Today we are 
					witnessing an almost uncontained hyper use of force - 
					military force- in international relations, force that is 
					plunging the world into an abyss of permanent conflicts.
					
					 
					
					Finding a 
					political solution becomes impossible. 
					 
					
					The United States 
					has overstepped its national borders in every way. This is 
					visible in the economic, political, cultural and educational 
					policies it imposes on other nations. Well, who likes this? 
					Who is happy about this?
					
					Putin warned about the destabilizing effects of space 
					weapons
					
					"It is impossible to sanction the appearance of new, 
					destabilizing high-tech weapons... a new era of 
					confrontation, especially in outer space Star wars is no 
					longer a fantasy. 
					 
					
					In Russia's 
					opinion, the militarization of outer space could have 
					unpredictable consequences for the world, and provoke 
					nothing less than the beginning of a nuclear era... plans to 
					expand certain elements of the anti-missile defense system 
					to Europe cannot help but disturb us. 
					 
					
					Who needs the 
					next step of what would be, in this case, an inevitable arms 
					race."
				
				
				Few people were aware 
				that the US, a month earlier, had announced that it was building 
				massive anti-missile defense installations in Poland and the 
				Czech Republic. 
				 
				
				As Putin replies to 
				this at the same Munich Conference, 
				
					
					"Missile weapons 
					with a range of 5 to 8,000kms that really pose a threat to 
					Europe do not exist in any of the so-called problem 
					countries. 
					 
					
					And any 
					hypothetical launch of a North Korean rocket to American 
					territory through Western Europe obviously contradicts the 
					laws of ballistics. 
					 
					
					As we say in 
					Russia, it would be like using the right hand to reach the 
					left year."
				
				 
				
				
				Moscow 
				Reacts
				
				Moscow lost little time in reacting to the announcement of US 
				plans for its ballistic missile defense (BMD) systems in Eastern 
				Europe. 
				 
				
				The commander of 
				Russia's strategic bomber force said on March 5, 2007 that his 
				forces could easily disrupt or destroy any missile defense 
				infrastructures in Poland and the Czech Republic - precisely 
				where the US is preparing to install them. 
				 
				
				In clear words, Putin 
				was responding to the escalating Washington provocations by 
				declaring openly that a New Cold War was on. It was not a new 
				Cold War initiated by Russia, but one where Russia, out of 
				national survival considerations, was forced to respond. 
				
				 
				
				A new, nuclear-based 
				arms race was in full bloom.
				
				This statement of Putin sent shock waves through the world, 
				especially the highest policy levels of the West. Putin was 
				declaring that - "enough is enough!" 
				 
				
				From this moment on, 
				Putin knew that a military confrontation between Russia and the 
				West was only a matter of time. 
				 
				
				Wasting no time, he 
				used his energy trump cards to beef up his military, and after 
				the 2008 crash, to beef up Russia's financial strength.
				 
				 
				
				
				Nuclear 
				Primacy
				
				What Washington did not say, but Putin alluded to in his speech, 
				was that the US missile defense was not at all defensive.
				 
				
				It was offensive. If 
				the US was able to shield itself effectively from a potential 
				Russian retaliation for a US nuclear First Strike, then the US 
				would be able to dictate its terms to the entire world, not just 
				to Russia. That would be Nuclear Primacy. 
				 
				
				For the Rockefeller 
				Empire and its chief vassal, Washington, the Cold war never 
				ended. They just forgot to tell the rest of the world.
				
				The US attempt to take control of oil and energy pipelines 
				worldwide, its installations of military bases across Eurasia, 
				its modernization and upgrades of nuclear submarine fleets and 
				bombers only made sense when seen through the perspective of the 
				relentless pursuit of US Nuclear primacy. 
				 
				
				In December 2001, 
				Washington withdrew from the US-Russian Ballistic Missile 
				Treaty. This was a critical step in Washington's race to 
				complete its global network of 'missile defense' capability as 
				the key to nuclear primacy. 
				 
				
				The US missile talks 
				with Poland and the Czech Republic began at the end of 2003. The 
				Pentagon found two sites in the mountains of southern Poland for 
				radar stations. 
				 
				
				This site would be 
				the first such installation outside America and the only one in 
				Europe.
				 
				
				A missile fired from 
				these silos in Poland or the Czech Republic would be within 
				minutes of potential Russia targets. No one would be able to say 
				whether they contained nuclear warheads or not. That would put 
				the world on a hair-trigger to possible nuclear war, by design 
				or miscalculation. 
				 
				
				Then, in the March 
				2006 Foreign Affairs, the journal of
				
				the CFR, an article by two US 
				military analysts came to the following conclusion:
				
					
					"Today, for the 
					first time in almost 50 years, the US stands on the verge of 
					attaining nuclear primacy. 
					 
					
					It will probably 
					soon be possible for the US to destroy the long-range 
					nuclear arsenals of Russia or China with a first strike.
					
					 
					
					Unless 
					Washington's policies change or Moscow and Beijing take 
					steps to increase the size and readiness of their forces, 
					Russia and China - and, they concluded: 
					
						
						'The sort of 
						missile defenses that the US might deploy would be 
						valuable in an offensive context, not a defensive one - 
						as an adjunct to a US First Strike capability, NOT as a 
						standalone shield. 
						 
						
						If the US 
						launched a nuclear attack against Russia or China, the 
						targeted country would be left with only a tiny 
						surviving arsenal - if any at all. 
						 
						
						At that 
						point, even a relatively modest missile defense system 
						might be well enough to protect against any retaliatory 
						strikes'."
					
				
				
				This was the real 
				agenda in Washington's Eurasian Great Game.
				
				Then, in August 2008, Georgia foolishly invaded Russia, and were 
				promptly defeated by the Russian military. Not long after this, 
				Putin began an upgrade of the Russian military. 
				 
				
				He knew that a 
				confrontation was in the making. 
				 
				
				In 2016, Putin 
				unveiled some of the new weapons being rolled out. The west was 
				shocked- nay, they had a heart attack. It was at that moment 
				that the Pentagon knew they could not win a military 
				confrontation with Russia. 
				 
				
				Then, in September 
				2015, Russia was called in by the Syrian government to help 
				defeat ISIS (a creation of the CIA/Mossad/British Intelligence).
				
				 
				
				That Russian military 
				action signaled a new era in global politics, with Russia 
				appearing as a formidable force to be reckoned with for the 
				first time since the end of the Cold War. America was no longer 
				the sole military superpower. 
				 
				
				The world was visibly 
				moving towards a new world war, one claiming to have religion at 
				its core, but in reality a war, as all wars, about money and 
				power. Islam was being instrumentalized as a weapon of that 
				global war - by the two families.
				
				Why was it so important for London and New York to gain control 
				of Russia? 
				 
				
				The answer to that 
				question lies in the fields of geopolitics, especially oil and 
				gas.
				 
				 
				
				
				Eurasian 
				Geopolitics
				
				Geopolitical advisor to David Rockefeller, 
				
				Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote a 
				book, in 1997, called "The 
				Grand Chessboard".
				
					
					It shows the 
					thinking of the Rockefeller Empire in regards to Eurasia...
				
				
				Let us show a few 
				extracts from the book, to get an idea of how to control 
				Eurasia.
				
					
					"For America, the 
					chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia-"
					
					"Ever since the continents started interacting politically, 
					some five hundred years ago, Eurasia has been the center of 
					world power."
					
					"...But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian 
					challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus 
					of also challenging America. 
					 
					
					The formulation 
					of a comprehensive and integrated Eurasian geostrategy is 
					therefore the purpose of this book."
					 
					
					To put it in a 
					terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of 
					ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial 
					geo-strategy are to prevent collusion, maintain security 
					dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and 
					protected, and to keep the barbarian (Russian, Chinese, and 
					Arabs) from coming together". 
					 
					
					"It follows that 
					America's primary interest is to help ensure that no single 
					power comes to control this geopolitical space and that the 
					global community has unhindered financial and economic 
					access to it."
					
					"America is now the only global superpower, and Eurasia is 
					the globe's central arena. 
					 
					
					Hence, what 
					happens to the distribution of power on the Eurasian 
					continent will be of decisive importance to America's global 
					primacy and to America's historical legacy." 
					 
					
					"Without 
					sustained and directed American involvement, before long the 
					forces of global disorder could come to dominate the world 
					scene" With warning signs on the horizon across Europe and 
					Asia, any successful American policy must focus on Eurasia 
					as a whole and be guided by a Geostrategic design."
					
					"That puts a premium on maneuver and manipulation in order 
					to preempt the emergence of a hostile coalition that could 
					eventually seek to challenge America's primacy..."
					
					"The most immediate task is to make certain that no state or 
					combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United 
					States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its 
					decisive arbitration role".
					
					"Potentially, the most dangerous scenario would be a grand 
					coalition of China, Russia, and perhaps Iran, an 
					"anti-hegemonic" coalition united not by ideology but by 
					complementary grievances. 
					 
					
					It would be 
					reminiscent in scale and scope of the challenge once posed 
					by the Sino-Soviet bloc, though this time China would likely 
					be the leader and Russia the follower. 
					 
					
					Averting this 
					contingency, however remote it may be, will require a 
					display of U.S. geostrategic skill on the western, eastern, 
					and southern perimeters of Eurasia simultaneously".
				
				
				We see that US 
				foreign policy followed the advise closely. 
				 
				
				But, the US failed. 
				Iran, China and Russia are close allies, and all three are 
				working to expels the US, the West, NATO and Israel from 
				dominating Eurasia. 
				 
				
				They dismissed Putin 
				when he formulated a new paradigm in Munich in 2007 - or when he 
				returned to the Kremlin in 2012. 
				 
				
				Putin made it very 
				clear that Russia's legitimate strategic interests would have to 
				be respected again, and that Russia was about to recover its de 
				facto "veto rights" in managing world affairs. 
				 
				
				Well, the Putin 
				doctrine was already being implemented since the Georgian affair 
				in 2008.
				 
				 
				
				
				The 
				Caucasus
				
				There is another potential entry into Russia from the south.
				
				 
				
				The Russian Empire 
				used this route as a buffer zone with Turkey, especially during 
				the numerous Russo-Turkish wars. 
				 
				
				Russia was protected 
				by the Caucasus, a rugged, mountainous region that discouraged 
				any attacks to the point that NATO never considered this option.
				
				 
				
				But if anyone managed 
				to force their way through the mountains, they would be about 
				1,500kms from Moscow on flat, open terrain in far better weather 
				than attackers from the west would face.
 
				 
				
				
				
				 
				
				
				If the South Caucasus states formed an anti-Russia coalition, 
				and the United States, for example, supported a rising in the 
				North Caucasus, the barrier might be shattered and a path 
				northward opened. 
				 
				
				Therefore, Russia 
				followed a strategy of imposing strong controls in the North 
				Caucasus while engaging in a war in 2008 with Georgia, its most 
				significant southern threat, based on geography and Georgia's 
				alliance with the U.S. 
				 
				
				The war demonstrated 
				the limits of American power while it was engaged in wars in the 
				Muslim world. It was successful strategies save for the fact 
				that the long-term threat from the south was not eliminated.
				
				 
				
				Russia needed a 
				strategy in the west and one in the south. In the west, part of 
				that strategy evolved in Ukraine, keeping it from being a threat 
				without the use of major Russian force. 
				 
				
				A tacit agreement was 
				reached with Washington: 
				
					
					The United States 
					would not arm Ukraine with significant offensive weapons, 
					and Russia would not move major force into Ukraine beyond 
					the insurgencies already in place. 
				
				
				At that time, neither 
				Russia nor the U.S. wanted war. Each wanted a buffer zone.
				
				 
				
				That is what emerged.
				 
				 
				
				
				Belarus
				
				Another piece of the lost buffer became, so to speak, available.
				
				 
				
				Belarus is about 
				600kms from Moscow. Poland, to its west, is hostile to Russia 
				and contains some American forces. This represents a significant 
				threat to Russia, unless Belarus could be brought into the 
				Russian fold. 
				 
				
				The elections in 
				Belarus held last year created an opportunity. President 
				Alexander Lukashenko, a long-time ruler who faced serious 
				opposition.
				 
				
				This was another 
				attempt by the CIA to start a Color Revolution in Belarus. Had 
				the CIA succeeded in Belarus, the squeeze on Russia would have 
				been fatal, in case of war.
				
				The Russians backed Lukashenko and have essentially preserved 
				his position. Alexander Lukashenko has been the head of state of 
				Belarus since 1994, and did not have a serious challenger in the 
				previous five elections. 
				 
				
				On 23 September 2021, 
				Belarusian state media announced that Lukashenko had been 
				inaugurated for another five-year term in a brief ceremony which 
				was held privately. 
				 
				
				The following day, 
				the EU published a statement that rejected the legitimacy of the 
				election, called for new elections, and condemned the repression 
				and violence - standard tactics from the West. 
				 
				
				Strategic depth is 
				vital in the very long term, and its importance is burned into 
				Russia's memory.
				 
				 
				
				
				
				Destabilization of Kazakhstan
				
				The year 2022 started with Kazakhstan on fire, a serious attack 
				against one of the key hubs of Eurasian integration. 
				 
				
				Leaders of the 
				Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) held an 
				extraordinary session to discuss Kazakhstan.
				
				The head of the Russian National Security Council, Nikolae 
				Patrushev, is Putin's right man. He is the head of all the 
				security and intelligence services of Russia, a very powerful 
				man indeed, a master of how to foil the CIA and MI6. 
				 
				
				Just to give you an 
				example:
				
					
					Between 2018 and 
					2021- a period of three years, Russia caught more than 2,000 
					spies, and foiled many plots. 
				
				
				So he is extremely 
				well aware of the plots and plans of Russia's enemies.
				
				Putin was aware that the West were intent on creating a wave of 
				hybrid-war across Central Asia.
				
				Back in November, Patrushev's laser was already focused on the 
				degrading security situation in Afghanistan. Tajik political 
				scientist Parviz Mullojanov was among the very few who 
				were stressing that there were as many as 8,000 imperial machine 
				Salafi-jihadi assets, shipped by a rat line from Syria and Iraq, 
				loitering in the wilds of northern Afghanistan. 
				 
				
				That's the bulk of 
				ISIS-Khorasan - or ISIS reconstituted near the borders of 
				Turkmenistan. Some of them were duly transported to Kyrgyzstan.
				
				 
				
				From there, it was 
				very easy to cross the border from Bishek and show up in Almaty.
				
				It took no time for Patrushev and his team to figure out, after 
				the imperial retreat from Kabul, how this jihadi reserve army 
				would be used: along the 7,500 km-long border between Russia and 
				the Central Asian 'stans'. 
				 
				
				That explains, among 
				other things, a record number of preparation drills conducted in 
				late 2021 at the 210th Russian military base in 
				Tajikistan.
				
				Virtually no one knows about it. But last December, another coup 
				was discreetly thwarted in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek. Kyrgyz 
				Intel sources attribute the engineering to a rash of NGOs linked 
				with Britain and Turkey. 
				 
				
				That introduces an 
				absolutely key facet of The Big Picture: 
				
					
					NATO-linked Intel 
					and their assets may have been preparing a simultaneous 
					color revolution offensive across Central Asia. 
				
				
				During his 29-year 
				rule, Nazarbayev played a multi-vector game that was too 
				westernized and which did not necessarily benefit Kazakhstan. He 
				adopted British laws, played the pan-Turkic card with Erdogan, 
				and allowed a tsunami of NGOs to promote a Western agenda.
				
				 
				
				The breakdown of the 
				messy Kazakh op necessarily starts with the usual suspects:
				
					
					the US Deep 
					State, which all but "sang" its strategy in a 2019 RAND 
					corporation report, Extending Russia. Chapter 4, on 
					"geopolitical measures", details everything from "providing 
					lethal aid to Ukraine", "promoting regime change in 
					Belarus", and "increasing support for Syrian rebels" - all 
					major fails - to "reducing Russian influence in Central 
					Asia." 
				
				
				That was the master 
				concept. Implementation fell to the MI6-Turk connection.
				
				The CIA and MI6 had been investing in dodgy outfits in Central 
				Asia since at least 2005, when they encouraged the Islamic 
				Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), then close to the Taliban, to 
				wreak havoc in southern Kyrgyzstan. 
				 
				
				Nothing happened. It 
				was a completely different story by May 2021, when the MI6's 
				Jonathan Powell met the leadership of Jabhat al-Nusra - 
				which harbors a lot of Central Asian jihadis - somewhere in the 
				Turkish-Syrian border near Idlib. 
				 
				
				The deal was that 
				these 'moderate rebels' - in US terminology - would cease to be 
				branded 'terrorists' as long as they followed the anti-Russia 
				NATO agenda. That was one of the key prep moves ahead of the 
				jihadist ratline to Afghanistan - complete with Central Asia 
				branching out.
				
				MI6 is deeply entrenched in all the 'stans' except autarchic 
				Turkmenistan - cleverly riding the pan-Turkish offensive as the 
				ideal vehicle to counter Russia and China. Yet both Russia and 
				China are very much aware that Turkey essentially represents 
				NATO entering Central Asia.
				
				Every color revolution needs a 'Maximum' Trojan horse. In our 
				case, that seems to be the role of former head of KNB (National 
				Security Committee) Karim Massimov, now held in prison 
				and charged with treason. 
				 
				
				Hugely ambitious, 
				Massimov is half-Uyghur, and that, in theory, obstructed what he 
				saw as his pre-ordained rise to power. His connections with 
				Turkish Intel are not yet fully detailed, unlike his cozy 
				relationship with Joe Biden and son. 
				 
				
				A former Minister of 
				Internal Affairs and State Security, Lt Gen Felix Kulov, 
				has weaved a fascinating tangled web explaining the possible 
				internal dynamics of the 'coup' built into the color revolution.
				
				According to Kulov, Massimov and Samir Abish, the nephew of 
				recently ousted Kazakh Security Council Chairman Nursultan 
				Nazarbayev, were up to their necks in supervising 'secret' 
				units of 'bearded men' during the riots. The KNB was directly 
				subordinated to Nazarbayev, who until last week was the chairman 
				of the Security Council.
				
				When Tokayev understood the mechanics of the coup, he demoted 
				both Massimov and Samat Abish. 
				 
				
				Then Nazarbayev 
				'voluntarily' resigned from his life-long chairmanship of the 
				Security Council. Abish then got this post, promising to stop 
				the 'bearded men,' and then to resign. So that would point 
				directly to a Nazarbayev-Tokayev clash. It makes sense as, 
				Tokayev is a very smart operator. 
				 
				
				Trained by the 
				foreign service of the former USSR, fluent in Russian and 
				Chinese, he is totally aligned with Russia-China - which means 
				fully in sync with the masterplan of the BRI, the Eurasia 
				Economic Union, and the SCO. 
				 
				
				Tokayev, much like 
				Putin and Xi, understands how this BRI/EAEU/SCO triad represents 
				the ultimate imperial nightmare, and how destabilizing 
				Kazakhstan - a key factor in the triad - would be a mortal coup 
				against Eurasian integration. 
				 
				
				Kazakhstan, after 
				all, represents 60 percent of Central Asia's GDP, massive 
				oil/gas and mineral resources, cutting-edge high tech 
				industries: 
				
					
					a secular, 
					unitary, constitutional republic bearing a rich cultural 
					heritage. 
				
				
				It didn't take long 
				for Tokayev to understand the merits of immediately calling the 
				CSTO to the rescue: 
				
					
					Kazakhstan signed 
					the treaty way back in 1994. 
				
				
				After all, Tokayev 
				was fighting a foreign-led coup against his government.
				
				Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev framed it 
				succinctly. 
				
					
					Riots were 
					"hidden behind unplanned protests." 
					 
					
					The goal was "to 
					seize power" - a coup attempt. 
					 
					
					Actions were 
					"coordinated from a single center." 
					 
					
					And "foreign 
					militants were involved in the riots."
				
				
				Putin went further:
				
				
					
					during the riots, 
					"Maidan technologies were used," a reference to the 
					Ukrainian square where 2013 protests unseated a 
					NATO-unfriendly government. 
				
				
				Defending the prompt 
				intervention of CSTO peacekeeping forces in Kazakhstan, Putin 
				said, 
				
					
					"it was necessary 
					to react without delay." 
				
				
				The CSTO will be on 
				the ground "as long as necessary," but after the mission is 
				accomplished, 
				
					
					"of course, the 
					entire contingent will be withdrawn from the country."
					
				
				
				CSTO forces left 
				after a week, whereby they crushed the CIA coup. 
				 
				
				But here's the 
				clincher: 
				
					
					"CSTO countries 
					have shown that they will not allow chaos and 'color 
					revolutions' to be implemented inside their borders." 
					
				
				
				Putin was in synch 
				with Kazakh State Secretary Erlan Karin, who was the first, on 
				the record, to apply the correct terminology to events in his 
				country: 
				
					
					What happened was 
					a "hybrid terrorist attack," by both internal and external 
					forces, aimed at overthrowing the government.
				
				
				Yet, they are just 
				one nexus in western nebulae of Hybrid War fog deployed across 
				Central Asia, and West Asia for that matter. Here we see the CIA 
				and the US Deep State crisscrossing MI6 and different strands of 
				Turkish Intel. 
				 
				
				When President 
				Tokayev was referring in code to a "single center," he meant a 
				so far 'secret' US-Turk-Israeli military-intel operations room 
				based in the southern business hub of Almaty, according to a 
				highly placed Central Asia Intel source. 
				 
				
				In this "center," 
				there were 22 Americans, 16 Turks and 6 Israelis coordinating 
				sabotage gangs - trained in West Asia by the Turks - and then 
				rat-lined to Almaty.
				
				The op started to unravel for good when Kazakh forces - with the 
				help of Russian/CSTO Intel - retook control of the vandalized 
				Almaty airport, which was supposed to be turned into a hub for 
				receiving foreign military supplies.
				
				The Hybrid War west had to be stunned and livid at how the CSTO 
				intercepted the Kazakh operation at such lightning speed. The 
				key element is that the secretary of Russian National Security 
				Council, Nikolai Patrushev, saw the Big Picture eons ago. 
				
				 
				
				So, it's no mystery 
				why Russia's aerospace and aero-transported forces, plus the 
				massive necessary support infrastructure, were virtually ready 
				to go.
				
				Putin, among others, has stressed how an official Kazakh 
				investigation is the only one entitled to get to the heart of 
				the matter. Rushed to only a few days before the start of the 
				Russia-US 'security guarantees' in Geneva, this color revolution 
				represented a sort of counter-ultimatum - in desperation - by 
				the NATO establishment.
				
				Central Asia, West Asia, and the overwhelming majority of the 
				Global South have witnessed the lightning fast Eurasian response 
				by the CSTO troops - who, having now done their job, and left 
				Kazakhstan in a couple of days - and how this color revolution 
				has failed, miserably. 
				 
				
				It might as well be 
				the last. Beware the rage of a humiliated Empire.
				
				This spectacular run of defeats suggests that the age of the 
				U.S. dominating the world as its one remaining superpower is now 
				at a cross-roads. 
				 
				
				It suggests that the 
				fearsome spectre of violent military might is losing its fangs. 
				It seems the era of the U.S. Empire is coming to an end. Then 
				there's the clincher, revealed by a high-level U.S. Intel 
				source.
				
				In 2013, the late
				
				Zbigniew 
				"Grand Chessboard" Brzezinski 
				was presented with a classified report on Russian advanced 
				missiles. 
				 
				
				He freaked out and 
				responded by conceptualizing Maidan 2014 - to draw Russia into a 
				guerrilla war then as he had done with Afghanistan in the 1980s.

				Part 2
				
				
				February 25, 
				2022
 
				 
				
				Ukraine
				
				Ukraine and Russia were so intertwined economically, socially 
				and culturally, especially in the east of the country, that they 
				were almost indistinguishable from one another. 
				 
				
				Most of Russia's 
				natural gas pipelines from West Siberia flowed through Ukraine 
				on their way to Germany, France and other European states. In 
				military strategic terms, a non-neutral Ukraine in NATO would 
				pose a fatal security blow to Russia. 
				 
				
				In the age of 
				advanced US weapons and anti-missile defenses, this was just 
				what Washington wanted.
				
				A look at the map of Eurasian geography revealed a distinct 
				pattern to the CIA-sponsored Color Revolutions after 2000. They 
				were clearly aimed at isolating Russia and ultimately cutting 
				her economic lifeline - her pipeline networks that carried 
				Russia's huge reserves of oil and gas from the Urals and Siberia 
				to Western Europe and Eurasia-straight through Ukraine.
				
				The unspoken agenda of Washington's aggressive Central Asia 
				policies after the collapse of the Soviet Union could be summed 
				up in a single phase: 
				
					
					control of 
					energy...
				
				
				So long as Russia was 
				able to use its strategic trump card- its vast oil and gas 
				reserves - to win economic allies in Western Europe, China and 
				elsewhere, it could not be politically isolated. 
				 
				
				The location of 
				various Color Revolutions was aimed directly at encircling 
				Russia and cutting off, at any time, her export pipelines.
				
				 
				
				With more than half 
				of Russia's dollar export earnings coming from its oil and gas 
				exports, such encirclement would amount to an economic chokehold 
				on Russia by US-led NATO.
				
				Russia was the only power with enough strategic nuclear 
				deterrence potential, as well as sufficient energy reserves, to 
				make a credible counterweight to global US military and 
				political nuclear primacy. 
				 
				
				Moreover, a Eurasian 
				combination of China and Russia, plus allied Eurasian states 
				(mainly Central Asian ), presented an even greater counterweight 
				to unilateral US dominance. 
				 
				
				Following the 1998 
				Asian financial crises, Beijing and Moscow formed a mutual 
				security agreement with surrounding states, Kazakhstan and 
				Tajikistan.
				 
				
				In June 2001, 
				Uzbekistan joined, and the group renamed itself the Shanghai 
				Cooperation Organization, or the SCO. This was the catalyst that 
				forced the Rockefeller Empire to carry out the terror act of 
				9/11, in order to justify an invasion of Central Asia- with the 
				aim to disrupt this alliance.
				
				One of the leading advocates of an American global supremacy - 
				Rockefeller strategist and close friend - Zbigniew Brzezinski, 
				described the pivot significance of Ukraine in his 1997 book, 
				The Grand Chessboard. 
				 
				
				He wrote:
				
					
					"Ukraine, a new 
					and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a 
					geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an 
					independent country helps to transform Russia. 
					 
					
					Without Ukraine, 
					Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire... 
					 
					
					If Moscow regains 
					control over Ukraine, with its 52 million people and major 
					resources as well as access to the Black Sea, Russia 
					automatically again regains the wherewithal to become a 
					powerful imperial state, spanning Europe and Asia..."
				
				
				Brzezinski, a student 
				of Halford Mackinder geopolitics, described the role of "pivot" 
				states:
				
					
					"Geopolitical 
					pivots are the states whose importance is derived not from 
					their power and motivation but rather from their sensitive 
					location... which in some cases gives them a special role in 
					either defining access to important areas or in denying 
					resources to a significant player..."
					
					"It cannot be stressed enough that without Ukraine, Russia 
					ceases to be an empire, but with Ukraine suborned and then 
					subordinated, Russia automatically becomes an empire"
				
				
				Ukraine, like few 
				other Eurasian countries, is a product of its special geography, 
				as it uniquely straddles east and west. 
				 
				
				It is what Halford 
				Mackinder, the British father of geopolitics - the study of the 
				relations of political power to geography - called a "pivot" 
				state. Ukraine uniquely transforms the geopolitical position of 
				Russia, for better or worse.
				
				With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Washington went 
				all out to support a break between Russia and Ukraine. The goal 
				was to use Ukraine as a buffer to block closer integration 
				between Russia and Europe, especially Germany.
				
				The country Ukraine itself is an historical anomaly. 
				 
				
				Almost 1000 years 
				ago, Kievan Rus under Vladimir the Great had been the empire of 
				the East Slavic peoples of today's Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. 
				For more than 350 years, Kievan Rus east of the Dnieper River 
				had been a part of the Russian Czarist Empire. 
				 
				
				After 1795 Ukraine 
				was divided, as a result of wars of partitioning Poland, between 
				the Orthodox Tsardom of Russia and Roman Catholic Habsburg 
				Austria.
				
				As such a pivot state, Ukraine's history has been tragic. In 
				1922 it was forced to become one of the founding republics of 
				the Soviet Union after a bloody war with the Red Army. In the 
				1930's, Stalin initiated a gruesome chapter in both Russian but 
				especially Ukrainian history, which still burns in the memories 
				of the descendants in the Catholic rural agricultural west of 
				Ukraine.
				 
				
				In 1932 and 1933, 
				millions of people, mostly peasants, in Ukraine starved to death 
				in a politically induced famine, the Holodomor, due to Stalin's 
				"liquidation of the Kulak class," the more or less independent 
				farmers to introduce forced collectivization of agriculture.
				
				 
				
				Some 6 to 8 million 
				people died from hunger in the Soviet Union during this period, 
				of which at least 4 to 5 million were Ukrainians.
				 
				
				Ironically, Nikita 
				Khrushchev, the man who in the 1950's initiated 
				de-Stalinization, was the head of the Ukrainian Communist Party 
				in 1935 overseeing Stalin's 
				
				Holodomor.
				
				After Stalin's death, now as head of the Communist Party of 
				Soviet Union, Khrushchev decided to administratively transfer 
				the Crimea to the Ukraine within the USSR in 1954, though the 
				Crimean population was overwhelmingly ethnic Russian.
				
				In the largely agricultural west of Ukraine, the famous 
				"breadbasket of Europe," the population is historically Roman 
				Catholic, going back centuries. 
				 
				
				The Eastern parts of 
				Ukraine - Donbass, Donetsk, Crimea - are historically Eastern 
				Orthodox in religion and are Russian-speaking. 
				 
				
				The east is also the 
				center of most Ukrainian industry from military manufacture to 
				steel, to coal to oil and gas.
				 
				
				
				 
				
				
				The 2014 
				Maidan Coup d'état
				
				In 2013 there was intense debate inside the cabinet. 
				 
				
				The issue was the 
				economic future of the floundering Ukraine - whether east with 
				Russia into the new Eurasian Common Market together with Belarus 
				and Kazakhstan, or to the west with a "special" association (not 
				even a real full membership) with the European Union.
				
				After a period of vacillation, and a final economic offer from 
				Russia, Janukovich told EU ministers in November, 2013 that 
				Ukraine would postpone talks for EU association and would join 
				Russia's Eurasian Economic Union, in the situation, a far more 
				attractive proposition for Ukraine.
				
				At that point, within minutes of Janukovich's announcement, 
				Ukraine's "Second Color Revolution," was initiated. 
				 
				
				The protests started 
				in the night of 21 November 2013. Via Twitter, Yatsenyuk called 
				for protests, which he dubbed as Euromaidan, on Maidan Square, 
				outside the main Government buildings.
				
				What then ensued in Ukraine is to this day almost entirely 
				unknown in the West. 
				 
				
				The reason is a total 
				media blackout, led by CNN, BBC, the New York Times, and 
				Washington Post. It has been a de facto NATO wartime press 
				censorship, originating in Washington at the highest levels
				
				That Kiev coup regime proceeded after February 22, 2014 to wage 
				a war of extermination and ethnic cleansing of Russian-speakers 
				in eastern Ukraine, led to a large degree by a private army of 
				literal neo-Nazis from Pravy Sektor (Right Sector), the 
				same ones who ran security in Maidan Square and launched a reign 
				of terror against Russian-speaking Ukrainians. 
				 
				
				Battalions were 
				formed of neo-Nazi mercenaries. 
				 
				
				They were given 
				official state status as "Ukrainian National Guard" soldiers, 
				the Azov Battalion, financed by Ukrainian mafia boss and 
				billionaire oligarch, Ihor Kolomoisky, the financial 
				backer of Zelenskyy as president.
				 
				 
				
				
				Today
				
				By the late 2021, a huge military buildup had taken place within 
				eastern Ukraine. 
				 
				
				The aim was to crush, 
				kill, and destroy the Donbass region, and its citizens. There 
				was a calculation by the CIA that Putin would be forced to enter 
				Ukraine in order for this conflict not to enter into Russia 
				itself.
				
				The Russian military was undergoing exercises on its borders 
				with Ukraine during the last quarter of 2021. It moved equipment 
				and troops to its western front. Putin was receiving reports 
				from his intelligence services of an imminent attack by the 
				Ukrainians towards the Donbass region.
				
				In late November, Putin sent a demand to Washington that peace 
				requires guarantees from Washington. 
				 
				
				These were three: 
				Ukraine to be a neutral state. No nuclear missiles to be 
				stationed in Ukraine. Ukraine will not be a member of NATO. 
				Weeks had passed, but Washington did not respond. 
				 
				
				Their intention was 
				to force Putin to enter the Donbass in support of the 
				Russian-speaking people there.
				
				Starting on February 17th, the Ukrainian military 
				began shelling the Donbass, practically non-stop. A few days 
				later, Putin received intelligence that Ukraine has prepared a 
				"dirty nuclear "bomb, and were prepared to use it. 
				 
				
				The tipping point was 
				when confirmation came that Washington was preparing to install 
				nuclear-tipped missiles (which would take 5 minutes from launch 
				to target - meaning not enough time for the Russian military to 
				detect, confirm, and launch counter measures) were poised to 
				strike Moscow from either Poland or Western Ukraine. 
				 
				
				On February 19, at 
				the Munich Security Council ,(the very same place where Putin 
				shocked the world in 2007), Ukrainian President Zelenskyy made 
				his threat to deploy nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory.
				
				 
				
				He expressed this as 
				his unilateral revocation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, 
				although Ukraine was not a signatory of the agreement. 
				
				 
				
				Two days later on the 
				evening of February 21, Putin made his speech
				
				recognizing the sovereign independence 
				of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and the start of 
				the military campaign in the Ukraine. 
				 
				
				He explicitly 
				referenced Zelenskyy's Munich nuclear weapons pledge: 
				
				
					
					"This is not 
					empty bravado," Putin stressed in his speech. 
				
				
				The next morning, 
				Russia began its special operations, by moving into Eastern 
				Ukraine, and removing the threat to Russia.

				The truth is that the Empire has been preparing a war against 
				Russia since at least the mid-90s and that these preparations 
				dramatically accelerated in the past eight years. 
				 
				
				It means that while 
				western politicians spent the past 30 years or so slowly 
				encircling Russia, Russian force planners successfully reformed 
				the Soviet/Russian armed forces (which were in a terrible shape 
				in the 90s and in a very uneven shape during most of the 80s) 
				into a military capable of taking on all of NATO at once and 
				quickly and very painfully defeat it.
				
					
					
					PS: 
					
					Russian Defense 
					Minister Shoigu just reported that in November the USAF used 
					10 strategic bombers coming in from both the east and the 
					west to rehearse nuclear strikes on Russia and that they 
					changed course only 20km from the Russian border. 
					
					 
					
					It's a game 
					called "nuclear chicken ". 
				
				
				Let's begin by 
				looking at the AngloZionist policies towards Russia.
				 
				 
				
				
				The West's 
				Actions
				
				Second is the now total colonization of Western Europe into the 
				Empire. 
				 
				
				While NATO moved to 
				the East, the US also took much deeper control of Western Europe 
				which is now administered for the Empire. The Russians are most 
				dismayed at the re-colonization of Western Europe. The 'loss' of 
				Western Europe is far more concerning for the Russians than the 
				fact that ex-Soviet colonies in Eastern Europe are now under US 
				colonial administration. 
				 
				
				Why? Look at this 
				from the Russian point of view.
				
				The Russians all see that the US power is on the decline and 
				that the dollar will, sooner or later, gradually or suddenly, 
				lose its role as the main reserve and exchange currency on the 
				planet (this process has already begun). 
				 
				
				Simply put,
				
					
					unless the US 
					finds a way to dramatically change the current international 
					dynamic, the AngloZionist Empire will collapse...
				
				
				The Russians believe 
				that what the Americans are doing is, at best, to use tensions 
				with Russia to revive a dormant Cold War v2 and, at worst, to 
				actually start a real shooting war in Europe. 
				 
				
				So a declining Empire 
				with a vital need for a major crisis, a spineless Western Europe 
				unable to stand up for its own interest, a subservient Eastern 
				Europe just begging to turn into a massive battlefield between 
				East and West, and a messianic, rabidly russophobic rhetoric 
				as the background for an increase in military deployments on the 
				Russian border. 
				 
				
				Is anybody really 
				surprised that the Russians are taking all this very serious?
				 
				 
				
				
				The 
				Russian Reaction
				
				So let us now examine the Russian reaction to Empire's stance.
				
				First, the Russians want to make sure that the Americans do not 
				give in into the illusion that a full-scale war in Europe would 
				be like WWII which saw the continental US only suffer a few, 
				tiny, almost symbolic, attacks by the enemy. 
				 
				
				Since a full scale 
				war in Europe would threaten the very existence of the Russian 
				state and nation, the Russians are now taking measures to make 
				sure that, should that happen, the US would pay an immense price 
				for such an attack. 
				 
				
				The Russians are now 
				evidently assuming that a conventional threat from the West 
				might materialize in the foreseeable future. 
				 
				
				They are therefore 
				taking the measures needed to counter that conventional threat.
 
				 
				
				
				
				
				 
				 
				
				
				
				 
				
				
				Since the USA appears to be dead set into deploying an 
				anti-ballistic missile system not only in Europe, but also in 
				the Far East, the Russians are taking the measures to both 
				defeat and bypass this system.
				
				The Russian effort is a vast and a complex one, and it covers 
				almost every aspect of Russian force planning, but there are 
				four examples which would best illustrate the Russian 
				determination not to allow a 22 June 1941 to happen again:
				
					- 
					
					The re-creation 
					of the First Guards Tank Army
 
 
- 
					
					The deployment of 
					the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system
 
 
- 
					
					The deployment of 
					the Sarmat ICBM
 
 
- 
					
					The deployment of 
					the Status-6 strategic torpedo 
				
				
				The 
				Re-creation of the First Guards Tank Army
				
				To put it simply,
				
					
					Russia clearly 
					did not believe that there was a conventional military 
					threat from the West and therefore she did not even bother 
					deploying any kind of meaningful military force to defend 
					from such a non-existing threat. 
				
				
				This has now 
				dramatically changed.
				
					
					Russia has 
					officially announced that the First Guards Tank Army - 1TGA.
					
				
				
				Make no mistake, this 
				will be a very large force, exactly the kind of force needed so 
				smash through an attacking enemy forces.
				 
				 
				
				
				The 
				Deployment of the Iskander-M Operational-Tactical Missile System
 
				 
				
				
				
				
				 
				
				
				The new Iskander-M operational tactical missile system is a 
				formidable weapon by any standard.
				 
				
				It is extremely 
				accurate, it has advanced anti-ABM capabilities, it flies at 
				hypersonic speeds and is practically undetectable on the ground.
				
				 
				
				This will be the 
				missile tasked with destroying all the units and equipment the 
				US and NATO have forward-deployed in Eastern Europe and, if 
				needed, clear the way for the 1TGA.
				 
				 
				
				
				The 
				Deployment of the Sarmat ICBM
				
				Neither the 1TGA nor the Iskander-M missile will threaten the US 
				homeland in any way. 
				 
				
				Russia thus needed 
				some kind of weapon which would truly strike fear into the 
				Pentagon and White House in the way the famous RS-36 Voevoda 
				(aka SS-18 "Satan" in US classification) did during the Cold 
				War. The SS-18, the most powerful ICBM ever developed, was scary 
				enough. 
				 
				
				The RS-28 "Sarmat" 
				(SS-X-30 by NATO classification) brings the terror to a totally 
				new level.
				
				The Sarmat is nothing short of amazing. It will be capable of 
				carrying 10-15 MIRVed warheads which will be delivered in a 
				so-called "depressed" (suborbital) trajectory and which will 
				remain maneuverable at hypersonic speeds. 
				 
				
				The missile will not 
				have to use the typical trajectory over the North Pole but will 
				be capable of reaching any target anywhere on the planet from 
				any trajectory. 
				 
				
				All these elements 
				combined will make the Sarmat itself and its warheads completely 
				impossible to intercept.
				
				The Sarmat will also be capable of delivering conventional 
				hypersonic warheads capable of a "kinetic strike" which could be 
				used to strike a fortified enemy target in a non-nuclear 
				conflict. This will be made possible by the amazing accuracy of 
				the Sarmat's warheads.
				
				The Sarmat's silos will be protected by a unique "active 
				protection measures" which will include 100 guns capable of 
				firing a "metallic cloud" of forty thousand 30mm "bullets" to an 
				altitude of up to 6km. 
				 
				
				The Russians are also 
				planning to protect the Sarmat with their new S-500 air defense 
				systems. 
				 
				
				Finally, the Sarmat's 
				preparation to start time will be under 60 seconds thanks a 
				highly automated launch system. What this all means is that the 
				Sarmat missile will be invulnerable in its silo, during its 
				flight and on re-entry in the lower parts of the atmosphere.
				
				It is interesting to note that while the USA has made a great 
				deal of noise around its planned Prompt Global Strike system, 
				the Russians have already begun deploying their own version of 
				this concept.
				 
				 
				
				
				The 
				Deployment of the Status-6 Strategic Torpedo
				
				What is shown here is an "autonomous underwater vehicle" which 
				has advanced navigational capabilities but which can also be 
				remote controlled and steered from a specialized command module.
				
				 
				
				This vehicle can dive 
				as deep as 1000m, at a speed up to 185km/h and it has a range of 
				up to 10'000km. It is delivered by specially configured 
				submarines.
				
				The Status-6 system can be used to target aircraft carrier 
				battle groups, US navy bases (especially SSBN bases) and, in its 
				most frightening configuration, it can be used to deliver 
				high-radioactivity cobalt bombs capable of laying waste to huge 
				expanses of land. 
				 
				
				The Status-6 delivery 
				system is capable of delivering a 100 megaton warhead which 
				would make it twice as powerful as the most powerful nuclear 
				device ever detonated, the Soviet Czar-bomb (57 megatons). 
				Hiroshima was only 15 kilotons.
				
				Keep in mind that most of the USA's cities and industrial 
				centers are all along the coastline which makes them extremely 
				vulnerable to torpedo based attacks (be it Sakharov's proposed 
				"Tsunami bomb" or the Status-6 system). 
				 
				
				And, just as in the 
				case of the Iskander-M or the Sarmat ICBM, the depth and speed 
				of the Status-6 torpedo would make it basically invulnerable to 
				interception.
				
				Take the Kalibr cruise-missile recently seen in the war in 
				Syria. Did you know that it can be shot from a typical 
				commercial container, like the ones you will find on trucks, 
				trains or ships? 
				 
				
				Just remember that 
				the Kalibr has a range of anywhere between 50km to 4000km and 
				that it can carry a nuclear warhead. 
				
					
					How hard would it 
					be for Russia to deploy these cruise missiles right off the 
					US coast in regular container ships? 
					 
					
					Or just keep a 
					few containers in Cuba or Venezuela? 
				
				
				This is a system 
				which is so undetectable that the Russians could deploy it off 
				the coast of Australia to hit the NSA station in Alice Springs 
				if they wanted, and nobody would even see it coming.
				
				The reality is that the notion that the US could trigger a war 
				against Russia (or China for that matter) and not suffer the 
				consequences on the US mainland is absolutely ridiculous. 
				
				 
				
				So sometimes things 
				have to be said directly and unambiguously - western politicians 
				better not believe in their own imperial hubris. 
				 
				
				So far, all their 
				threats have achieved is that the Russians have responded with a 
				many but futile verbal protests and a full-scale program to 
				prepare Russia for WWIII.
				
				First, he confirmed that the Sarmat ICBM would replace the old 
				but already formidable SS-18 "Satan". Then he turned to new 
				weapon systems:
				
					- 
					
					A nuclear powered 
					cruise missile with basically unlimited range
 
 
- 
					
					A nuclear powered 
					unmanned submersible with intercontinental range, very high 
					speed, silent propulsion and capable of moving a great 
					depths
 
 
- 
					
					A Mach 10 
					hypersonic missile with a 2'000 kilometer range (named: 
					Kinzhal)
 
 
- 
					
					A new strategic 
					missile capable of Mach 20 velocities (named: Avangard) 
				All of these systems 
				can be armed with conventional or nuclear warheads. Just think 
				of the implications! 
				 
				
				Not only does that 
				mean that the entire ABM effort of the USA is now void and 
				useless, but also that from now US aircraft carrier battle 
				groups can only be used against small, defenseless, nations!
				 
				 
				
				
				It Is 
				Official and It Is Over
				
				While the whole Western media are shaking (incompetence will do 
				this to one) in their boots from Vladimir Putin's address, where 
				he demonstrated, among many things, new RS-28 Sarmat ballistic 
				missile, behind that revolutionary weapon system, one was almost 
				completely ignored by media. 
				 
				
				Again, "education" 
				based on catch phrases (such a "nuclear weapon) will do this to 
				one. By far most shocking (albeit inevitable) revelation was 
				deployment of a new hyper-sonic missile Kinzhal weapon. 
				
				 
				
				The missile is... 
				well, for the lack of better word, is stunning–it is M10+ highly 
				maneuverable missile with the range of 2000 kilometers. The 
				naval warfare as we know it is over. 
				 
				
				Without any 
				overly-dramatic emphasis, we are officially in new era. No, I 
				repeat, NO, modern or perspective air-defense system deployed 
				today by any NATO fleet can intercept even a single missile with 
				such characteristics. 
				 
				
				The salvo of 5-6 of 
				such missiles is a guaranteed destruction of any Carrier Battle 
				Group (CBG).
				
				The mode of use of such weapon, especially since we know now 
				that it is deployed (for now) in Southern Military District is 
				very simple–the most likely missile drop spot by MiG-31s will be 
				international waters of the Black Sea, thus closing off whole 
				Eastern Mediterranean to any surface ship or group of ships.
				
				 
				
				It also creates a 
				massive no-go zone in the Pacific, where MiG-31s from Yelizovo 
				will be able to patrol vast distances over the ocean. 
				
				 
				
				It is, though, 
				remarkable that the current platform for Kinzhal is MiG-31 - 
				arguably the best interceptor in the history. Obviously, 
				MiG-31's ability to reach very high supersonic speeds (in excess 
				of M3) is a key factor in the launch. 
				 
				
				But no matter what 
				are the procedures for the launch of this terrifying weapon, the 
				conclusions are simple:
				
					- 
					
					It moves aircraft 
					carriers into the niche of pure power projection against 
					weak and defenseless adversaries;
 
 
- 
					
					It makes classic 
					CBGs as main strike force against peer completely obsolete 
					and useless; it also makes any surface combat ship 
					defenseless regardless its air-defense capabilities. 
				Sea Control and Sea 
				Denial change their nature and merge. Those who have such 
				weapon, or weapons, simply own vast spaces of the sea limited by 
				the ranges of Kinzhal and its carriers.
				 
				
				I don't want to sound 
				dramatic and I knew that there were and are always surprises in 
				Soviet/Russian weapons but today's revelations from the highest 
				podium in Russia about Kinzhal were shocking. 
				 
				
				The balance of power 
				just shifted dramatically, with it the naval warfare as we knew 
				it is no more.
				 
				 
				
				
				It is 
				OVER!
				
				There is nothing in the U.S. arsenal now and in the foreseeable 
				future which can intercept Mach 9-10+, let alone M20-27, 
				targets. That's the issue. 
				 
				
				It is indeed set, 
				match and game over for the Empire: 
				
					
					there is no more 
					military option against Russia. So what do these people 
					want? 
				
				
				They want to provoke 
				Moscow by all means available to exercise "Russian aggression", 
				resulting in an attack on Ukraine, but with zero casualties for 
				NATO and the Pentagon. 
				 
				
				Then the Empire of 
				Chaos will blame Russia; unleash a tsunami of fresh 
				sanctions, especially financial; and try to shut off all 
				economic links between Russia and NATO.
				
				All exponents of Russian leadership, starting with President 
				Putin, have already made it clear, over and over again, what 
				happens if the Ukro-dementials start a blitzkrieg over Donbass:
				
				
					
					Ukraine will be 
					mercilessly smashed - and that applies not only to the 
					ethno-fascist gang in Kiev. Ukraine will cease to exist as a 
					state.
				
				 
				
				
				It's all 
				about Minsk
				
				It remains to be seen how this "de-confliction" will happen in 
				practice when Defense Minister Shoigu revealed U.S. 
				nuclear-capable bombers have been practicing, in their sorties 
				across Eastern Europe, to enhance,
				
					
					"their ability to 
					use nuclear weapons against Russia". 
				
				
				Shoigu discussed that 
				in detail with Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe:
				
				
					
					after all the 
					Americans will certainly pull the same stunt against China.
					
				
				
				The root cause of all 
				this drama is stark: Kiev simply refuses to respect the February 
				2015 Minsk Agreement. 
				 
				
				In a nutshell, the 
				deal stipulated that Kiev should grant autonomy to Donbass via a 
				constitutional amendment, referred to as "special status"; issue 
				a general amnesty; and start a dialogue with the people's 
				republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.
				
				Over the years, Kiev fulfilled exactly zero commitments - while 
				the proverbial NATO media machine incessantly pounded global 
				opinion with fake news, spinning that Russia was violating 
				Minsk. 
				 
				
				Russia is not even 
				mentioned in the agreement...
				 
				
				Moscow in fact always 
				respected the Minsk Agreement - which translates as regarding 
				Donbass as an integral, autonomous part of Ukraine. Moscow has 
				zero interest in promoting regime change in Kiev. 
				 
				
				On the Minsk 
				agreements, Putin's to Zelinsky message was blunt: 
				
					
					"The President of 
					Ukraine has said that he does not like any of the clauses of 
					the Minsk agreements. Like it, or not - be patient, my 
					beauty. They must be fulfilled."
				
				
				Looking at all of 
				these moves against Russia since taking office, plus knowing 
				full well the aim of the Rockefeller Empire was to "de-construct 
				Russia, and break it up into three parts, Putin said "enough is 
				enough" It was time to fight back. 
				 
				
				Since 2000, Putin 
				bided his time, making Russia strong, getting rid of internal 
				and external enemies, building up her military and financial 
				strength, and producing such advanced weapons for which the West 
				has no defense against. 
				 
				
				For the first time in 
				a century, a military superpower Russia, having had enough of 
				U.S./NATO bullying, is now dictating the terms of a new 
				arrangement.
				
				Coming straight from President Putin, it did sound like a bolt 
				from the sky:
				
					
					"We need 
					long-term legally binding guarantees even if we know they 
					cannot be trusted, as the U.S. frequently withdraws from 
					treaties that become uninteresting to them. But it's 
					something, not just verbal assurances." 
				
				
				And that's how 
				Russia-U.S. relations come to the definitive crunch - after an 
				interminable series of polite red alerts coming from Moscow.
				
				Putin once again had to specify that Russia is looking for 
				"indivisible, equitable security" - a principle established 
				since Helsinki in 1975 - even though he no longer sees the U.S. 
				as a dependable "partner", that diplomatically nicety so debased 
				by the Empire since the end of the USSR. 
				 
				
				So in the end it 
				comes down to Europeans facing,
				
					
					"the prospect of 
					turning the continent into a field of military 
					confrontation." 
				
				
				That will be the 
				inevitable consequence of a NATO "decision" actually decided in 
				Washington.
				
				Incidentally: 
				
					
					any possible, 
					future "counter threats" will be coordinated between Russia 
					and China.
				
				
				Most people by now 
				know the content of the Russian draft agreements on security 
				guarantees presented to the Americans. Key provisions include,
				
					- 
					
					no further NATO 
					expansion 
- 
					
					no Ukraine 
					admission 
- 
					
					no NATO 
					shenanigans in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Transcaucasia and 
					Central Asia 
- 
					
					Russia and NATO 
					agreeing not to deploy intermediate and short-range missiles 
					in areas from where they can hit each other's territory 
- 
					
					establishment of 
					hotlines 
- 
					
					the NATO-Russia 
					Council actively involved in resolving disputes... 
				Russia's Ministry of 
				Foreign Affairs extensively reiterated that the Americans 
				received "detailed explanations of the logic of the Russian 
				approach", so the ball is in Washington's court.
				
				In fact, whether U.S. and NATO functionaries like it or not, 
				what's really happening in the realpolitk realm is Russia 
				dictating new terms from a position of power. 
				 
				
				In a nutshell: 
				
				
					
					you may learn the 
					new game in town in a peaceful manner, civilized dialogue 
					included, or you will learn the hard way via a dialogue with 
					Russia's missile stars - Iskandr, Kalibr, Khinzal , Zircon, 
					and many more in the pipeline...
				
				
				The Pentagon has 
				nothing close to any of these. These weapons are game-changing.
				
				Do note that the US military has been on a technological decline 
				over the past two decades. In addition, the cost structures of 
				new systems are such, that its peer competitors - Russia and 
				China - do build better equipment at FAR LOWER COSTS. 
				
				 
				
				And, they work, 
				unlike many new systems in the Pentagon and western militaries.
				
				
					
					Finally, the 
					adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan have broken the back of 
					the US military. 
					 
					
					It is not what it 
					once was.
				
				
				President Putin 
				declared that the Russian ultimatum was not an ultimatum, as 
				have several other Russian officials. 
				 
				
				Putin said:
				
					
					"We already see 
					that some of our ill-wishers, frankly speaking, interpret 
					them as an ultimatum from Russia. Of course not. 
					 
					
					I remind you once 
					again, I want to remind you: 
					
						
						everything 
						that our partners did, so we will call them, Yugoslavia 
						was bombed under what pretext? 
						 
						
						What, with 
						the sanction of the Security Council, or what? 
						
						 
						
						Where is 
						Yugoslavia and where is the USA? 
						 
						
						Destroyed the 
						country. 
					
					
					Yes, there is an 
					internal conflict, there are their own problems, but who 
					gave the right to strike at the European capital? No one.
					
					 
					
					They just decided 
					that, and the satellites ran behind them and nodded. That's 
					all international law.
					
					And under what pretext did you enter Iraq? Development of 
					weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. 
					 
					
					We entered, 
					destroyed the country, created a hotbed of international 
					terrorism, and then it turned out that we were mistaken, and 
					then they said:
					
						
						"The 
						intelligence let us down." 
					
					
					Wow! 
					 
					
					The country was 
					destroyed! Intelligence failed - and the whole explanation. 
					It turns out that there were no weapons of mass destruction 
					there, no one was preparing. On the contrary, once it was, 
					[but] everything was destroyed as it should be.
					
					How did you go to Syria? With the approval of the Security 
					Council? No. They do what they want. 
					 
					
					But what they are 
					now doing on the territory of Ukraine, or trying to do and 
					planning to do, is not thousands of kilometers from our 
					national border - this is at the doorstep of our house.
					
					 
					
					They must 
					understand that we simply have nowhere to retreat further.
					
					Specialists sit here; I am in constant contact with them. 
					There are no hypersonic weapons in the United States yet, 
					but we know when they will appear, the same cannot be 
					hidden. Everything is recorded: the tests are successful - 
					unsuccessful. 
					 
					
					Clearly, we 
					roughly understand when it will be. 
					 
					
					They will supply 
					Ukraine with hypersonic weapons, and then under its cover - 
					this does not mean that they will use them tomorrow, because 
					we already have Zircon, but they do not have it yet - they 
					will arm and push extremists from a neighboring state into 
					including to certain regions of the Russian Federation, say 
					the Crimea, under favorable, as they believe, circumstances 
					for themselves.
					
					Do they think we don't see these threats? Or do they think 
					that we will helplessly look at the threats posed to Russia?
					
					 
					
					This is the whole 
					problem, we simply have nowhere to move on - that is the 
					question."
				
				
				This then is 
				Putin's red line...
				
				In plain English, this means this: oh no, this is not at all an 
				ultimatum. But we remind you that you attacked other countries 
				and all we are saying is that if you continue or do not heed our 
				warnings, then we will be free to do whatever we deem necessary.
				
				 
				
				But no, of course 
				not, this is not an ultimatum at all.
				
				First, Putin is both very predictable and, at the same time, 
				very unpredictable. The predictable thing about Putin is that he 
				only uses force when there is no other option left. The very 
				unpredictable thing about Putin is how and where he is willing 
				to use force. 
				 
				
				Russia has a huge 
				advantage over US+NATO in electronic warfare (from the tactical 
				to the strategic level) and she can easily use it to a 
				devastating effect while NATO has nothing to retaliate in kind.
				
				 
				
				This, by the way, 
				also applies to the Middle-East where, apparently, Russia has 
				the means to disrupt/spoof GPS signals over the entire region.
				
				The power of the Russian ultimatum is precisely in the fact that 
				the Russians have promised to do "something" military and/or 
				military-technical, but have not spelled out what that 
				"something" might be. In reality, we are not dealing with one 
				single "something", but a succession of gradual steps which will 
				bring more and more pressure to bear on the US and NATO/EU .
				
				 
				
				Keep in mind that 
				while the USA can make counter-proposals they are in no position 
				to make any credible threats, hence the fundamental asymmetry 
				between the two sides: 
				
					
					Russian can make 
					credible threats, while the US can produce only more words, 
					something the Russians have basically stopped paying 
					attention to.
				
				
				From now on, the game 
				is simple: 
				
					
					Russia will 
					gradually turn up the "pain dial" and see how the Empire 
					will cope with this. 
					 
					
					China will be 
					doing the exact same as Russian and Chinese actions are 
					obviously carefully coordinated. 
					 
					
					At which point 
					Russia and China would have won.
				
				
				How soon will Russia 
				turn up the pain dial? Putin has just repeated today that no US 
				delaying tactics will be acceptable to Russia. 
				 
				
				A not-so-diplomatic 
				message was sent to the West. 
				
					
					"If you don't 
					want to talk to Lavrov, then you will have to deal with 
					Shoigu" - the best one-liner in years.
				
				
				Putin has declared 
				today that he is "fed up" with the West: 
				
					
					"And when 
					international law and the UN Charter interfere with them, 
					they declare all this obsolete and unnecessary. 
					 
					
					And when 
					something corresponds to their interests, they immediately 
					refer to the norms of international law, the UN Charter, and 
					international humanitarian rules. 
					 
					
					I'm fed up of 
					such manipulations".
				
				
				Now, a very 
				high-level
				
				Deep State intel source, 
				retired, comes down to the nitty gritty, pointing out how,
				
					
					"the secret 
					negotiations between Russia and the US center around 
					missiles going into Eastern Europe, as the US frantically 
					drives for completing its development of hypersonic 
					missiles."
				
				
				The main point is 
				that if the US places such hypersonic missiles in Romania and 
				Poland, as planned, the time for them to reach Moscow would be 5 
				minutes. 
				 
				
				It's even worse for 
				Russia if they are placed in the Baltics. 
				 
				
				The source notes,
				
				
					
					"The US plan is 
					to neutralize the more advanced defensive missile systems 
					that seal Russia's airspace. 
					 
					
					This is why the 
					US has offered to allow Russia to inspect these missile 
					sites in the future, to prove that there are no hypersonic 
					nuclear missiles. 
					 
					
					Yet that's not a 
					solution, as the Raytheon missile launchers can handle both 
					offensive and defensive missiles, so it's possible to sneak 
					in the offensive missiles at night. 
					 
					
					Thus everything 
					requires continuous observation."
				
				
				The bottom line is 
				stark: 
				
					
					"This is the real 
					issue behind the present crisis. The only solution is no 
					missile sites allowed in Eastern Europe.
					 
					
					That happens to 
					be an essential part of Russia's demands for security 
					guarantees. 
					 
					
					The West slowly 
					is discovering that that it has no pressure point versus 
					Russia (its economy being relatively sanctions-proof), and 
					its military is no match for that of Russia's." 
				
				
				In parallel, how,
				
					
					"the threat to US 
					dominance is that China, Russia and Mackinder's Eurasian 
					World Island heartland are offering better trade and 
					investment opportunities than are available from the United 
					States with its increasingly desperate demand for sacrifices 
					from its NATO and other allies."
				
				
				The Rockefeller 
				Empire and Washington are at the end of American geopolitical 
				control over Eurasia. 
				 
				
				Occupied Germany and 
				Japan enforcing the strategic submission of Eurasia from the 
				west down to the east; the ever-expanding NATO; the ever 
				de-multiplied Empire of Bases, all the lineaments of the 
				75-year-plus free lunch are collapsing.
				
				Way back in August 2020, 
				
					
					"the goal of 
					Russian and Chinese policy is to recruit Germany into a 
					triple alliance locking together the Eurasian land mass a la 
					Mackinder into the greatest geopolitical alliance in 
					history, switching world power in favor of these three great 
					powers against Anglo-Saxon sea power."
				
				
				The new groove is set 
				to the tune of,
				
					- 
					
					the New Silk 
					Roads, or BRI 
- 
					
					Russia's 
					unmatched hypersonic power - and now the non-negotiable 
					demands for security guarantees 
- 
					
					the advent of 
					RCEP - the largest free trade deal on the planet uniting 
					East Asia 
- 
					
					the Empire all 
					but expelled from Central Asia after the Afghan humiliation 
- 
					
					sooner rather 
					than later its expulsion from the first island chain in the 
					Western Pacific, complete with a starring role for the 
					Chinese DF-21D "carrier killer" missiles... 
				So the rules have 
				changed drastically. 
				 
				
				The Hegemon is 
				naked...
				 
				
				The new deal starts 
				with turning the post-Cold War set-up in Eastern Europe 
				completely upside down. The East Med will be next. The Bear is 
				back, baby. Hear him roar.
				
				To achieve its Full Spectrum Dominance, Washington needed 
				not only the resources of its Color Revolutions across Eurasia 
				to encircle Russia. 
				
					
					The Pentagon also 
					needed to draw the rope tight around the emerging colossus 
					of Asia,
					
					China...
				
				
				There, a different 
				approach was required, given the extreme US financial dependence 
				on China and its economic ties and investments there. 
				
				 
				
				To that end, our next 
				article is on China.
