Ukraine - The Insanity of it all as revealed by George Galloway

 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRJLPwlbypM

 

The title of this clip is 'I smell a rat'. 26 min of insanity that would drive you bonkers. Al Qaeda fighters were brought into Ukraine to fight side by side with the Nazis against the Russians. Now you hear it, and it is real, who are the Al Qaeda fighters and who are their masters. Are they not terrorists?

    China just gained priviledged access to (at least 150 million Russians) Russian market; all thanks to western sanctions!

  2. This dude is RICH!


    Notice how the world's press has completely "forgotten" about this. The Ukrainian media produced this documentary. Security services tried to stop it from being released.

    NOTE: There's no hard evidence to condemn Zelenskyy as "dirty", but the discovery of his financial affairs in the Pandora Papers does raise questions.

    Make up your own mind.

  4. US bioweapon lab in Ukraine (conspiracy story) keeps getting better:

    http://thesaker.is/ukraine-bio-weapons-the-pentagon/

    'Rather than deny the presence of such weapons, Nuland basically acknowledged it. She called them “research materials.” Both her words & her manner of speaking suggest that Russia & China & Dilyana Gaytandzhieva are correct when they accuse the United States of harboring dangerous pathogens in Ukrainian labs.'

  6. Someone commented that the only qualifications needed to become a USA diplomat is ' 'Stupidity'.

    At the UN, it showed convincingly that this is indeed true. After all, Trump was the perfect example, with the whole world laughing at his clownish performance at the UN some years ago. Then there was Nikki Haley, another USA diplomat or ambassador, failing to understand her role as an ambassador, Instead of promoting co-operation she indulged in divisive discourse that makes others squirmed in their seats at the UN.

    Little wonder the USA is losing support and alienating allies. Yet they are trying to coerce former enemies asking for help, like Iran, Venezuela and Vietnam. In ASEAN alone, only one country answered the call and you know who. Austin tried and failed and they thought Kamala Harris could do better. After visiting Singapore and Indonesia, she was shunned by Thailand, a country that the USA was instigating unrest by supporting opposition parties and funding them to create unrest. Trying to create animosity towards the Thai King was a grave mistake. The whole Thai population or at least 70% of them were totally against the USA now.

    With one country in the whole of ASEAN sticking out like a sore thumb, what do you think the other ASEAN countries are now thinking? Bro, it cannot be good.

  7. George Galloway is now broadcasting 'underground'.

    RT has been closed down. No more the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!

    This is what is expected. Still it shows that they lost to the truth brigade. The truth brigade beat them fair and square. When they cannot compete, they used underhand tactics to close down RT.

  8. The irony is that most people now realise, and not just think, that MSM is all lies after all those years of the truth dispense by Social Media and proven to be true by sites like RT, PTE Wolf Warrior Diplomacy, The New Atlas and people like George Galloway, Cyrus Janssen, Gweilo 60, etc. They have done much to tear away the credibility of MSM.

    Will shutting down such sites turn back the clock and make people believe MSM again. Nah, absolutely not!

    Asia Times: WWII redux: The endpoint of US policy – The threatened peoples of East Asia and Europe can stop the US drive to restore its global domination 亞洲時報:二戰歸來:美國政策的終點 – 受到威脅的東亞和歐洲人民可以阻止美國恢復其全球統治地位的努力By Prof. John Walsh, MD in SF 2-21-22

    “This is not going to be a war of Ukraine and Russia. This is going to be a European war, a full-fledged war.” So spoke Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky just days after berating the US for beating the drums of war.

    It is not hard to imagine how Zelensky’s words must have fallen on those European ears that were attentive. His warning surely conjured up images of World War II when tens of millions of Europeans and Russians perished.

    Zelensky’s words echoed those of Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte on the other side of the world at the eastern edge of the great Eurasian landmass: “When elephants fight, it is the grass that gets trampled flat.” We can be sure that Duterte, like Zelensky, had in mind World War II, which also consumed tens of millions of lives in East Asia.

    The United States is stoking tensions in both Europe and East Asia, with Ukraine and Taiwan as the current flashpoints on the doorsteps of Russia and China, which are the targeted nations.

    Let us be clear at the outset. As we shall see, the endpoint of this process is not for the US to do battle with Russia or China, but to watch China and Russia fight it out with their neighbors to the ruin of both sides. The US is to “lead from behind” – as safely and remotely as can be arranged.

  11. Contd:-

    To make sense of this and react properly, we must be very clear-eyed about the goal of the US. Neither Russia nor China has attacked or even threatened the US. Nor are they in a position to do so – unless one believes that either is ready to embark on a suicidal nuclear war.

    Why should the US elite and its media pour out a steady stream of anti-China and anti-Russia invective? Why the steady eastward march of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization since the end of the first Cold War? The goal of the US is crystal clear – it regards itself as the Exceptional Nation and entitled to be the No 1 power on the planet, eclipsing all others.

    This goal is most explicitly stated in the well-known Wolfowitz Doctrine drawn shortly after the end of the first Cold War in 1992. It proclaimed that the United States’ “first objective is to prevent the re-emergence of a new rival, either on the territory of the former Soviet union or elsewhere….”

    It stated that no regional power must be allowed to emerge with the power and resources “sufficient to generate global power.” It stated frankly that “we must maintain the mechanism for deterring potential competitors from even aspiring to a larger regional or global power” (emphasis mine).

    The Wolfowitz Doctrine is but the latest in a series of such proclamations that have proclaimed global domination as the goal of US foreign policy since 1941, the year before the US entered World War II. This lineage is documented clearly in a book by the Quincy Institute’s Stephen Wertheim, “Tomorrow, the World: The Birth of US Global Supremacy.”

    Target No 1: China

    China’s economy is No 1 in terms of PPP-GDP (gross domestic product based on purchasing power parity) according to the International Monetary Fund and has been since November 2014. It is growing faster than the US economy and shows no signs of slowing down. In a sense, China has already won by this metric, since economic power is the ultimate basis of all power.

    But what about a military defeat of China? Can the US with its present vastly superior armed forces bring that about? Historian Alfred McCoy answers that question in the way most do these days, with a clear “no”:

    “The most volatile flashpoint In Beijing’s grand strategy for breaking Washington’s geopolitical grip over Eurasia lies in the contested waters between China’s coast and the Pacific littoral, which the Chinese call ‘the first island chain.’

    “But China’s clear advantage in any struggle over that first Pacific island chain is simply distance.…The tyranny of distance, in other words, means that the US loss of that first island chain, along with its axial anchor on Eurasia’s Pacific littoral, should only be a matter of time.”

    Certainly the US elites recognize this problem. Do they have a solution?

  13. Moreover, that is not the end of the “problem” for the US. There are other powerful countries, such as Japan, or rapidly rising economies in East Asia, easily the most dynamic economic region in the world. These too will become peer competitors, and in the case of Japan, it already has been a competitor, both before World War II and during the 1980s.

    Target No 2: Russia

    If we hop over to the western edge of Eurasia, we see that the US has a similar “problem” when it comes to Russia. Here too, the US cannot defeat Russia in a conventional conflict, nor have US sanctions been able to bring it down. How can the US surmount this obstacle?

    And as in the case of East Asia, the US faces another economic competitor, Germany, or more accurately, the European Union with Germany at its core. How is the US to deal with this dual threat?

    One clue comes in the response of President Joe Biden to both the tension over Taiwan and that over Ukraine. Biden has said repeatedly that his administration will not send US combat troops to fight Russia over Ukraine or to fight China over Taiwan. But it will send materiel and weapons, and also “advisers.”

    And here too the US has other peer competitors, most notably Germany, which has been the target of US tariffs. Economist Michael Hudson puts it succinctly in a penetrating essay: “America’s real adversaries are its European and other allies: The US aim is to keep them from trading with China and Russia.”

    Postwar rise to power

    Such “difficulties” for the US were solved once before – in World War II.

    One way of looking at that conflict is that it was a combination of two great regional wars, one in East Asia and one in Europe. In Europe the US was minimally involved as Russia, the core of the USSR, battled it out with Germany, sustaining great damage to life and economy. Both Germany and Russia were economic basket cases when the war was over, two countries lying in ruins.

    The US provided weapons and materiel to Russia but was minimally involved militarily, only entering late in the game. The same happened in East Asia, with Japan in the role of Germany and China in the role of Russia.

    Both Japan and China were devastated in the same way as were Russia and Europe. This was not an unconscious strategy on the part of the United States. As Harry Truman, then a senator, declared in 1941: “If we see that Germany is winning the war, we ought to help Russia; and if that Russia is winning, we ought to help Germany, and in that way let them kill as many as possible.”

    At the end of it all, the US emerged as the most powerful economic and military power on the planet. McCoy spells it out:

    “Like all past imperial hegemons, US global power has similarly rested on geopolitical dominance over Eurasia, now home to 70% of the world’s population and productivity. After the Axis alliance of Germany, Italy and Japan failed to conquer that vast landmass, the Allied victory in World War II allowed Washington, as historian John Darwin put it, to build its ‘colossal imperium … on an unprecedented scale,’ becoming the first power in history to control the strategic axial points ‘at both ends of Eurasia.’

    “As a critical first step, the US formed the NATO alliance in 1949, establishing major military installations in Germany and naval bases in Italy to ensure control of the western side of Eurasia.

    “After its defeat of Japan, as the new overlord of the world’s largest ocean, the Pacific, Washington dictated the terms of four key mutual-defense pacts in the region with Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and Australia, and so acquired a vast range of military bases along the Pacific littoral that would secure the eastern end of Eurasia.

  14. “To tie the two axial ends of that vast landmass into a strategic perimeter, Washington ringed the continent’s southern rim with successive chains of steel, including three navy fleets, hundreds of combat aircraft, and most recently, a string of 60 drone bases stretching from Sicily to the Pacific island of Guam.”

    The US was able to become the dominant power on the planet because all peer competitors were left in ruins by the two great regional wars in Europe and East Asia, wars that are grouped under the heading of World War II.

    If Europe is plunged into a war of Russia against the EU powers with the US “leading from behind” with materiel and weapons, who will benefit? And if East Asia is plunged into a war of China against Japan and whatever allies it can drum up, with the US “leading from behind,” who will benefit?

    It is pretty clear that such a replay of World War II will benefit the US. In World War II, while Eurasia suffered tens of millions of deaths, the US suffered about 400,000 – a terrible toll certainly but nothing like that seen in Eurasia.

    And with the economies and territories of Eurasia, East and West, in ruins, the US will again emerge on top, in the catbird seat, and able to dictate terms to the world. World War II redux.

    But what about the danger of nuclear war growing out of such conflicts? The US has a history of nuclear “brinksmanship,” going back to the earliest post-World War II days. It is a country that has shown itself willing to risk nuclear holocaust.

    Are there US policymakers criminal enough to see this policy of provocation through to the end? I will leave that to the reader to answer.

    The peoples of East and West Eurasia are the ones who will suffer most in this scenario. And they are the ones who can stop the madness by living peacefully with Russia and China rather than serving as cannon fodder for the US.

  15. There are clear signs of dissent from the European “allies” of the US, especially Germany, but the influence of the US remains powerful. Germany and many other countries are after all occupied by tens of thousands of US troops, their media heavily influenced by the US and with the organization that commands European troops, NATO, under US command. Which way will it go?

    In East Asia the situation is the same. Japan is the key, but the hatred of China among the Elite is intense. Will the Japanese people and the other peoples of East Asia be able to put the brakes on the drive to war?

    Some say that a two-front conflict like this is US overreach. But certainly, if war is raging on or near the territories of both Russia and China, there is little likelihood that one can aid the other.

    Given the power of modern weaponry, this impending world war will be much more damaging than World War II by far. The criminality that is on the way to unleashing it is almost beyond comprehension.

  16. The USA will not suffer just 400,000 casualties if WW3 breaks out. It will suffer just as much as Russia or China. WW1 and 2 were different, as mainland USA was untouched, save for Hawaii. They can talk about doctrine when there is no competitor or rising competitors to block their way. Same as the days when they think no other country can overtake them economically, until China broke that myth. Japan was on the verge and they destroyed the Jap's dream

    Because the USA suffered minimally during WW11, as others fought the war on their behalf eg Russia doing the heavy lifting in the defeat of Nazi Germany, the USA was able to take advantage of the situation upon seeing the Russians having the advantage and going to destroy Nazi Germany, they then entered the war to claim the credit. Not the next time though!

    Countries like Japan, Taiwan and those in Europe better wake up, as they are the pawns being pushed to the frontline to take casualties, while the USA stands behind, waiting to reap the benefits. The USA is so belligerent because all the wars were fought outside their homeland, and all the destruction were suffered by others, they only providing all the implements for destruction.

    It is not going to be that way in WW3. What doctrine they can draw up years ago did not figure on the rise of China and Russia at that point of time. They can take out easily detractors like Iraq and Libya, threaten Venezuela, Cuba and Iran, but when it comes to North Korea, with deterrents up a notch, they shied away. Now with Russia and China nearly on even keel in military power, with China overtaking them in economic power, the dictates under whichever doctrine is not going to hold any water.

  17. It turns out that Mike Pompeo's recent visit to Taiwan, during which the U.S. politician said that the U.S. should recognize Taiwan as a free and sovereign nation, was a paid visit by the Taiwanese government of President Tsai Ing-wen with Pompeo earning an honorarium of US$150,000.

    Tsai's secessionist DPP regime advertised the Pompeo visit as America’s show of support at a time of rising political tensions with the war in Ukraine and with mainland China.

    The Taiwanese government has gone mostly quiet since the expose.

  18. Zelensky Admits Ukraine Will Have to Pay For Western Help

    According to Reuters, the U.S. said Saturday it would rush up to $200 million in additional small arms, anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons to Ukraine, as Ukrainian officials pleaded for more equipment to defend against heavy shelling by Russian forces.

    U.S. President Joe Biden on Saturday authorized the additional security assistance, the White House said, paving the way for the "immediate" shipment of fresh military equipment to Ukraine.

    Biden's decision brings total U.S. security aid provided to Ukraine to $1.2 billion since January 2021, and to $3.2 billion since 2014, according to senior administration officials.

    But Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has said that Western countries are helping Ukraine, but Kiev is yet to pay for it.

    "The money allocated by Europe and other nations are spent only on humanitarian aid or weapons. Sometimes we receive weapons directly, but you have to understand that everything has its price," he said. "Whenever the money that we get is mentioned - well, it all came at a cost, it’s not for free."

  19. This is why the Americans and allies so happy to announce sending weapons and aids. When the war ends, they just send Ukraine the bill. No need to verify, cannot verify, cannot account for. So they bill whatever they want and at whatever price they want. Whether they send the weapons or aids, no one knows.

    Ukriane would have to pay and pay.
