The Propaganda War Has Started...

One Of The First Things To Do In A War Is Stop The Enemy From Telling Its Side Of The Story - EDITED (2nd March 2022)

By Dark Politricks

Now I know what happened there is no point giving you technical data and info on how I found out before reading RT.com once safely behind a DDOS CDN to protect it from attacks from hackers. However, the rest of the article is still important because as always the first casualty of war is the truth.

I find myself in this situation as well, not only have I found out I am on a list of sites The Washington Post, thinks interfered in the US 2016 Presidential election, a #Rusiagate conspiracy that has been totally debunked. Yet still, my site's name appears on the list over at https://wikispooks.com/wiki/PropOrNot.

Today though, I woke up to find that my #ALTNEWS search engine which I have been using daily to get news on the war from those sites on the same list, shadow banned, de-ranked or social media canceled, had itself been canceled by Google. So no more #ALTNEWS search engine I am afraid. 

However I promise that when I have enough money (LOL), or if someone wants me to code it for them to host, I will make a Super Search Engine that ONLY returns news from Alternative News sites, those that Google and the Establishment want you to never read as it might give you an opposing point of view to the one drummed into you from State Media broadcasters like the BBC, or in the US CNN & MSNBC. 

These are supposedly independent news organisations but every segment is sponsored by some company that expects favourable news coverage from them, or Bill Gates has "donated" millions of dollars, in the hope that he won't get hardball questions thrown at him about his links to Jeffery Epstein.

It seems RT.com has now moved its site behind a Cloudflare like CDN, to mitigate DDOS attacks, and stop hack attempts by the infamous hacker group, Anonymous to take down the site.



However, in response to this attack on Russia, a group calling itself Killnet has taken down the official Anonymous website www.anonymoushackers.net, despite placing it behind a Cloudflare attempts to get to it are still met with 500 Server Error status codes.



Despite the slanderous slur that I was involved in the fake conspiracy concocted by Hilary Clinton once she found out she had lost to Donald Trump, and created a scapegoat. It seems some people in the US really still believe this cock n bull story and the list at https://wikispooks.com/wiki/PropOrNot still has my site on. 

Apparently, I provide Russian Disinfo to Americans and papers like the Washington Post which repeated this conspiracy BS, believed I was supporting the "Russian Stooge" President Trump. 

Not that he acted like a stooge, pulling out of Nuclear Arms Treaties, the Iranian Treaty which Russia was a main supporter of, playing a big role in removing the enriched Uranium from Iran so it could not be used for making nuclear weapons. 

He also bombed Syria when Russia was trying to help remove the jihadists the CIA had been training and arming, and he even placed sanctions on them, including on the Russian to Germany pipeline Nordstream2 and this was many years before they had invaded anyone, unlike Biden who has used Nordstream2 as the main part of his sanctions



This will have the effect of putting the price of gas in Europe up even higher than it already is. We already have record petrol prices, food prices, and energy costs which have already doubled last year, and were set to double again in April, and now this debacle will only drive them up further.

As a Russian minister said, "Welcome to the brave new world where Europeans are very soon going to pay €2.000 for 1.000 cubic meters of natural gas!s".

So all these anti-Russian actions, really confused me as the US MSM was going on all the time how there was a Russian puppet in the White House e.g #Russiagate, the conspiracy theory peddled by the left so much they still believe it to be true despite being de-bunked many times over. 

They called their POTUS a Russian stooge, but his actions against that country suggested anything but. Maybe if he had allowed them to put nuclear missiles in Canada and Mexico then I could see how he would be a Russian puppet but nothing he actually did suggested he was what the left-wing comedians and media outlets were claiming.

I guess it's thinking like that which makes my thoughts so dangerous I was put on that Washington Post list alongside RT.com, Pravda.ru and Sputniknews.com plus many other great sites like www.blacklistednews.com, www.corbettreport.com, and antiwar.com 

So for trying to get, hear and explain to people the other side's point of view, when we are bombared all day by Western/NATO/US/MIC propaganda, that never bothers to even try and find an opposite point of view when doing reports, I am labelled a Russian dis-info agent.

Just the other day as I was driving into town, the radio was on in my car and it came to the news. It was so biased and only told one side of the story. As we know propaganda is always used in war, and we must always paint Russia as the big bogey man without accepting our own role in the situation, I expected this however some of the questions people were calling in about were so far gone.

For example, someone asked "Is Russia going to invade the UK?", and the answer was "Well we don't know they don't have plans to do so at the moment and it is very unlikely...." and another caller asked "Is this the start of World War III?" to the reply of "Well we have had wars in Europe since the end of the cold war, but we have never faced a nuclear power before....", if the kiddy propaganda didn't scare them before the news it certainly gave some nightmares tonight.


I wish someone with lots of money paid me and many of the other sites to spread Russian dis-info, but do you really think if we were paid agents we would have to rely on adverts to get money for our writing

I mean would Alex Jones really go to all that effort of selling vitamins and survival rations and all the other pills and potions he spends so much time doing so if he was actually being paid to do the work he does? It would be nice to be on the MI6 and BBC and Reuters pay-cheque for their thousands of NATO dis-info agents to spread Western Propaganda into Russia. Alas, I am not on either sides.

No of course not. So why do we do it? Well personally I just want to provide a bit of balance in this world of disinformation, and war propaganda, where hackers are sent off to take Russian news sites down, and the establishment only feeds the public one side of the story, never letting them hear the Russian angle which I will break down for you really simply if you don't want to go to the lengths of reading some history books, or even my last article which detailed the history of Western invasions of Russia from Napolean to World War II, and how Ukrainians joined the NAZI's to fight the Soviets. 

Or how the Soviets were lied to by so many world leaders when the Berlin Wal fell they honestly believed us when we said we "would not spread NATO one inch further East than it was already," and then broke that promise to go on and surround Russia with NATO countries and missiles pointing at them.

However, when the Russians even mention that they are planning to put Russian troops and missiles in South America or near the USA, American politicians go mad! It seems the Monroe Doctrine really does give the US a pass to not allow any threat a thousand miles near them but without giving Russia the same security.

It does really come down to basic hypocrisy, and the fact that the USA can treat a terrorist group or country friendly one minute, and then go to war against them without UN backing, and against the wishes of other countries, and many people, anyway.

However, if a country like Russia or China does the same then they are considered evil imperialists, dreaming of old empires and need either sanctions on them which only hurt the citizens of those countries and never has the desired effect of getting the people so poor and hungry from them that they overthrow their government, as the US seems to hope or a proxy war with oine of the many terrorist groups the US Deep State seem to control. 

Please read up on Gladio1 and Gladio2 to find out about the lengths the US government goes to in its "desire to spread crony capitalism and democracy" around the world if you don't know about this history already. It is not more "Russian dis-info", it is historical facts people need to know about!

Sanctions haven't worked in China, Russia, Iran or North Korea, or any of the other places the US has tried it. Countries like Cuba have had sanctions against them for over half a century, and still, the Cuban people have not risen up against their leaders

All it leads to is the suffering of ordinary people like the half a million children who died in Iraq due to US sanctions put on that country, that US State Secretary, Madeleine Albright, said were worth it. Plus it gives the country a perfect excuse to point the finger at the USA and say to their people that all the problems are being caused by the evil Americans, not their regime that the US wants to overthrow. In fact, it can turn around and bite the US in its ass by making a country all stand together and united against adversity and the foreign meddling in their affairs.


So here it goes, as I see it the reasons the Russians think that their actions are reasonable and in their best interest despite the West's condemnation come from the following points. 

You may believe them or not, and I ask you to check the source links outs and read for yourself each claim. I am not saying Russia is right in invading Ukraine, I am just trying to list out reasons they are justifying their actions there seeing the UK or US mainstream media is not bothering to give both sides of the story a fair hearing. 

All they do is pump out the Western Nations, NATO, and Ukrainian line of thinking on the matter, and push pro-NATO views into MSM viewers' heads, without giving them any information or possible reasons the Russians might be doing this. Obviously, this makes those people who only get their news from the MSM mad about the Russians' actions. So..

1. Russia was lied to at the end of the Cold War by US Presidents, European PMs, Foreign Ministers, and NATO leaders that the Cold War Alliance would not spread one inch further East than it was already at the fall of the Berlin Wall. This is what Mikial Gorbachev believed, and why he pulled Soviet Troops out of the Eastern European countries they controlled through their own alliance, the Warsaw Pact.

2. The Warsaw Pact which was a Cold War alliance of Communist countries that all vowed to defend each other just like NATO did with its members, disbanded at the end of the Cold War. However, NATO which was a cold war alliance against the USSR and the Warsaw Pact did not disband. Instead, they have expanded, broken promises, and now have member states surrounding Russia, and some members right on their borders. See this map of NATO countries and see how close some are to Russia,


Why this Cold War relic turned its eye on expansion when the whole point of its existence no longer existed I have no idea. However, Russia rightly worries about it as it seems to paint Russia as the new USSR and blame it for everything that goes wrong in the USA. from Hillary Clinton losing an election to people getting fed "fake news" from dis-info outlets like this site or RT.com that may dangerously put an alternative point of view into their head, and sway them from the well-planned path of pro-US propaganda they are fed daily by their own media.

3. Why did we go to war in World War II? Answer: To fight the German NAZI regime. We saw NAZI's and their racist propaganda, and racial cleansing as an evil that needed to be squashed out and we were willing to let the whole world go to war, with millions of men, women, and children killed to defeat this evil. We even joined up with the USSR, a communist country that US bankers funded subversives like Lenin and Trotsky to overthrow the existing Russian dynasty and create a Communist utopia. 

The Soviets lost the most people out of every other country in the war, Stalin had to move whole cities by train eastwards far out of the reach of the Germans to build weapons, and modern estimates massively underestimate the numbers of Soviet soldiers and civilians killed on the Eastern front with some estimates as high as 40 million, and some historians like Joespeh Farrel who believe Hitler was using nuclear bombs on the Soviets, which accounts for the high death count, and also why Stalin threatened to send poison gas over German cities if the NAZIs didn't stop using "some superweapon" that was wiping all his men out in droves.

4. What happened after the war with the NAZI scientists. Well we know with Operation Paperclip, the USA secretly made deals with many NAZI scientists and snuck them into the US to work inside NASA and other military units so that they could pass their extensive and far-reaching technological know-how onto the Americans. 

Basically, the US did a deal with the devil, NAZIs like Wehmer Von Braun who was a NAZI that developed the V1 and V2 rockets that were fired indiscriminately into the UK and destroyed large parts of British cities and killed many people. He was brought to the Wind Sands Testing range in the US with the word "not" inserted into his file before the words "an ardent Nazi" to make him look as if he was forced to work with Hitler and he became a star of the US Space race.

Many historians and reporters like the famous reporter Jim Marrs, wrote a book called The Rise Of The Fourth Reich, all about how the US elite was into eugenics before the war, supported and even funded Hitler's rise to power. Prescott Bush, George W Bush's grandfather was even involved in a plot to overthrow the government of Franklin D Roosevelt and install a fascist oligarchy, which they believed that the USA should adopt the fascist policies of Hitler and Mussolini as that was the only way to beat the great depression. 

However, the general they tried to recruit to carry out this coup was the most decorated US soldier of all time Gen. Smedley Butler, who wrote the famous book, "War is a Racket", and he revealed this plot, and Prescott Bush only escaped being imprisoned by setting up pro-US Forces charities and groups to whitewash his past and ingratiate him with those going off to fight against what he secretly believed in and got rich off e.g goods made cheap by concentration camp labor.

5. What happened when Germany invaded the USSR through Ukraine? Well, many Ukrainians welcomed the NAZI's, and many joined them to fight against the Soviets. Still to this day many Ukrainians in the west hold racist anti-semitic views, with a 2019 poll showing 46% of Ukrainians holding anti-Semitic views, one of the worst countries in the world, many to this day still celebrate Hitler and the formation of the 1st Galician Division, a notoriously cruel SS fighting force made up predominantly of Ukrainian volunteers and other NAZI collaborator's birthday's, and many far-right militias like the "Right Sektor" gladly went off to the east of Ukraine to slaughter innocent women and children after the US coup installed a far-right government after overthrowing the previous Russian friendly government.


6. So, we went to war in the '40s to stop NAZI's, Ukraine is one of the most anti-semitic countries on earth according to surveys and the US overthrew a pro-Russian government and installed a far-right NAZI government instead. 

The Russians lost at least 25 - 40 million people killed from the 2nd World War and many Ukrainians joined those Nazis that did that killing. Russia fears a NAZI country on its border, one that has sent far-right groups like the ones pictured below to fight pro-Russian forces. Russia also fears a NATO member, or a US-armed anti-Russian neighbour so close to its border




7. The US does not accept the Russian military on its borders but expects Russia to shut up and put up with the expansion of NATO that sees more and more ex-Soviet nations joining the cold war allianceFar-Right NAZI's have served in post-coup Ukrainian governments, whether they are still there or not, they were promoted immediately after the Maidan coup with the blessing of the US, and Victoria Nuland who was happy she put a NAZI in power.

8. Putin has said that the reason he has invaded Ukraine is the “demilitarisation and de-Nazification of Ukraine". With so many NAZI's fighting in the east, atrocities carried out by the shelling of civilians, and the burning alive of people inside the Odessa Trade Union building. All whilst "Right Sektor" NAZI militias members stood outside drunk, singing anti-Russian and anti-semitic songs, and then started throwing excess vodka bottles into the building as Molotov Cocktails which killed at least 36 people.
"We will bring to court those who have committed many crimes, responsible for the bloodshed of civilians, including Russian citizens," Putin said.
9. So a simple question, with the USA's history, over the last hundred years of not only the elite supporting Hitler and Eugenics, and the CIA helping to smuggle many NAZI's into the US during Operation Paperclip, many like Von Braun who should have stood trial for his part in the indiscriminate bombing of the UK. 

Plus the USA has a long and terrible history of instigating multiple coups to install far-right leaders and topple left-leaning governments across the world over the last 100+ years, and the recent US paid-for, Maidan coup in Ukraine, where the first leader they installed was a rabid Russophobe and NAZI

Why is it, that it is okay to tolerate Nazism in Ukraine when it is pointed at Russia, a country that only knows too well the horror that occurred during WWII because of far-right ideology when during the 40s we stood against this evil along with Russia/USSR?

What has changed that makes the support of far-right beliefs tolerable now?

What makes us think that it is okay to literally force Russia into doing this because we knew their history with Nazism and that they would ever accept a NAZI regime, especially one put into power by the US or NATO forces in Ukraine right on their border?

I just want to know what has changed. Is it the USA, as Jim Marrs concluded in his book The Fourth Reich, is it really true that the US is the real heir to Hitler's Third Reich. 

That the US elite always supported NAZI ideology, including eugenics, and this is shown by the attempted fascist plot to overthrow FDR and install a fascist government. Compared to the post-war rush to gather up NAZI scientists, and use their skills in horrific studies such as MKULTRA, as well as ballistic missile and rocket creation.

We all went to war to fight NAZISM on Europe's doorstep in the 40's I just hope we are not protecting NAZISM and the newTotalitarisam as seen in many western nations during the COVID pandemic now.

Whether it is done by Russian military might or through true democracy from an elected Government that does not contain any trace of Nazi ideology, shouldn't the Ukrainian's toleration of anti-semitic and far-right beliefs be stopped in some way at least?

Russia Recognises Breakaway Ukrainian Republics

Putin Sends Russian Troops Into Ukraine As "Peacekeepers"

By Dark Politricks

Late on Monday night 21st February 2022, Russia's leader Vladimir Putin, after pressure from both the heads of the breakaway Ukrainian Republics, and the Russian parliament, recognised the two breakaway Republics in Eastern Ukraine, Donetsk, and Luhansk, as independent sovereign nations, saying that it was an act that was overdue.

The leaders of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Denis Pushilin and Leonid Pasechnik, had both asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to recognize the republics’ independence from Ukraine.
"On behalf of all of the people of the DPR, we are asking you to recognize the Donetsk People’s Republic as an independent, democratic and social state based on the rule of law," Denis Pushilin said.

Leonid Pasechnik added: "With the goal of preventing mass deaths among the republic’s civilian population, some 300,000 of whom are Russian citizens, I’m asking you to recognize the sovereignty and independence of the Lugansk People’s Republic."
Both leaders also suggested signing a treaty on friendship and cooperation with Russia, which included military cooperation.

This came as the 8-year civil war in Eastern Ukraine between the breakaway Republics and Western Ukrainians continued with heavy shelling along the contact line between Ukrainian soldiers and Russia-backed separatists, whilst thousands of people were being evacuated from eastern Ukraine to Russia, some of whom had apparently been paid $130 worth of Rubles to do so.

The shelling occurred despite the massive build-up of around 150,000 Russian soldiers along the border, and with warnings from NATO, the USA, and the EU, about heavy sanctions and dire consequences if they dared to invade Ukraine. 

The civil war has seen over 14,000 people killed and many atrocities committed by both sides. This has included the downing of the Malaysia MH17 flight, which saw 283 people killed including 80 children, and 15 crew members, and the burning down of the Odessa Trade Unions Building, where at least 36 separatists were burned to death by far-right nationalists. 

Frequent heavy shelling by the western forces and far-right militias have seen many towns in the breakaway republics reduced to rubble, with schools and even kindergartens struck by rockets, sometimes deliberately, such as this one in the settlement of Stanytsia Luhanska.


Speaking as part of a televised address to the nation on Monday evening, the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, signed the decree recognising the republics as independent states. He said that:
I deem it necessary to make a decision that should have been made a long time ago to immediately recognize the Donetsk (DPR) and Lugansk (LPR) People’s Republics.” 
This came in a speech he gave in which he listed multiple reasons why the republics in the Donbass region of Ukraine should gain independence. These are the regions that have been fighting a war with the far-right Ukrainian government forces, that the USA helped install in the Maidan coup, during 2014.

Putin spoke about the regime now in control of Ukraine in which he slammed them for "extreme nationalism", "Nazism" and "Russophobia" pointing to the shutting down of Russian-language news outlets and laws he said that discriminated against Russian speakers in Ukraine..

The head of state also alleged that Kiev is sending saboteurs to target Russian infrastructure and attempting to "drag foreign states into conflict with our country". He also said that Ukraine's ambitions to join NATO would mean an "immediate threat of attack against our country.

This decision was met with massive celebrations across the Donbass region of Ukraine with firework displays and Russian flag waving which you can watch on this link.



This comes after a period in which Russia had been trying to negotiate security terms with NATO over their constant expansion despite being a Cold War alliance, which both Russia and China have noted, is a war that is long over. Russia wanted assurances that NATO would deny membership to Ukraine and any other former Soviet countries, as well as to roll back the alliance's military deployments in Central and Eastern Europe.

This was not something NATO agreed to, and it set off the latest in a long line of developments which saw a massive build-up of Russian forces on the border of Ukraine, western nations removing diplomats and warning citizens to leave the country, and then yesterday the events that led to the UN Security Council meeting held late Monday night.

The day started off with news from Russia that FSB agents had stopped and killed five members of a Ukrainian sabotage group by FSB border guard forces for attempting to illegally cross the Russian border. This was either a ruse by NATO to goad Russia into attacking Ukraine, or the "false flag" attack that the US/UK Axis of War had been talking about for weeks. Either way, it has seemed to create the excuse that Russia has used for its actions.

Earlier in the day Putin reportedly told his security council it was "necessary to consider an appeal from the leaders of two breakaway regions in eastern Ukraine for Russia to recognize them as independent.", Putin had called the situation in Eastern Ukraine where fighting continues, a genocide and he considered the people of Ukraine part of Russia's heart and soul.  
"I would like to reiterate that Ukraine is just not our neighboring country. It’s an integral part of our history, culture, and spiritual space...they are comrades, dear ones, not just colleagues, not just those who used to serve in the army but also relatives. Those who tied up with us in family and blood ties."

He went on to criticize the US-led coup that has started this whole situation on his border: "Those who seized the power and keep the power in Kiev we demand to stop hostilities immediately. Otherwise, all responsibility for the possible continuation of the bloodbath will be on the consciences of the regime that is ruling in Kiev."
These were Putin's words as he later signed a historical document to recognise the two breakaway regions as independent statelets, defying western warnings that such a step would be illegal and kill off long-running peace negotiations. 

You can watch Putin signing the documents below. 

While the treaties of friendship and cooperation between Russia and the newly recognized republics of Donetsk and Lugansk are still in the draft stage, the Russian State Duma still released the proposed documents on Monday, showing that they will include common defense against external aggression and the right to use each other’s military infrastructure, among other things.

However after the treaties were signed, Putin ordered the Russian military to “secure the peace” in the newly recognized Donetsk and Lugansk republics, and Russian troops started pouring into the regions.

Now we don't know what is going to happen next apart from a few things but I do hope the West, especially here in Europe where we are facing, rising heating costs doesn't do something stupid like stopping the Nordstream2 pipeline that has been built to bring extra and much-needed gas to Germany and Europe, without going through Ukraine. 

Their existing pipeline that runs through the country has been a constant source of grief between the two countries as Russia has constantly complained that Ukraine is not only stealing gas but owes them money for gas they have not paid for. 

Russia cut off the gas for a few days back in 2006 and 2009, after Russia accused Ukraine of diverting £14.5 million worth of gas intended for other European countries, and we ALL felt it. We do not want that to happen again.

Gazprom, Russia's state energy group, cut natural gas deliveries to Ukraine on 1st January 2009 after a long dispute over unpaid bills and prices for this year's supplies, and their chief spokesman, Sergei Kupriyanov, said Kiev is now threatening deliveries
"The Ukrainian side has openly admitted that it is stealing gas, and it is not even ashamed of this fact."
Last year, gas delivered to Europe through Ukrainian pipelines fell by 25% and fears of further disruptions have ramped up with the buildup of Russian troops near the Ukrainian border.




I think Russia would only be too happy to start delivering gas we could have had to China instead. Due to their close relationship and recent cutting down of transactions in US dollars from 90% to 51% in 2019any financial sanctions put on Russia for this move will probably be negated by the fact that the world still needs their gas. 

Not only does the US buy Russian gas and oil (12-26 million barrels per month in 2021), as well as Europe, but as retaliation to any sanctions, Russia could also close their airspace to Western planesquit the International Space Station, and decrease their use of the dollar for financial transactions even more.

The BRICS grouping of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa have already announced that the new BRICS New Development Bank will move away from using US dollars in loans, and will introduce the BRICSPay system to allow nationals of their countries to make payments in their own currencies to also avoid the US dollar.

So why is Russia doing this?

Well if anybody remembers recent history it was the US-led coup in Ukraine that removed a Russian-friendly corrupt leader only to replace him with a Western-friendly corrupt leader during the Maidan uprising that ignited recent troubles. 

The west helped to install a far-right government in Ukraine during 2014 and Ukraine's desire to leave the Russian sphere of influence, instead wanting to join both NATO and the EU, kicked the ball down the hill that has led to this point in time.

Anyone who knows World War II history doesn't need reminding that many Ukrainians, celebrated the German invasion of the USSR during Operation Barbarossa, and even joined up to fight the Soviets during their invasion into the USSR. Therefore the Russians rightly fear being invaded once more from Ukraine, and especially fear far-right NAZI's who killed 40 million+ men, women, and children during World War II.

The recent Ukrainian coup in 2014 was led by Victoria Nuland, US President Barack Obama's agent at least during the month of February when it climaxed. She was famously caught on a call saying "Fuck the EU", who were hoping for a democratic and less corrupt future government for Ukraine. 

Instead, Nuland instructed America's Ambassador in Ukraine, Jeffrey Pyatt to choose the rabidly anti-Russian, and far-right, Arseniy Yatsenyuk as the new President to run the now clearly fascist country on Russia's border. 

As you can see from this picture of some far-right Ukrainian soldiers during the coup who are openly proud of their NAZISM, they were only too happy to go off to the more Russian east to fight and kill the citizens that lived there.



Now to understand why Russia is so pissed off with NATO expansion and a future where Ukraine was a member of NATO, and why the US keeps pushing for NATO expansion, we need to go back to 1989 when the fall of the Berlin Wall occurred and then the fall of the Soviet Union.

Although many people have heard the broken promise of the then US Secretary of State James Baker who gave an assurance to Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not expand “not one inch eastward during a meeting on February 9, 1990. Many have not realised who else gave the Soviets the same promise so that they would roll out of Eastern Europe.

Declassified documents now reveal that Gorbachev only accepted German reunification, which the Soviet Union had a legal right to veto under treaty from not only James Baker but also President George H.W. Bush, West German foreign minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher, West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, the CIA Director Robert Gates, French President Francois Mitterrand, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, British foreign minister Douglas Hurd, British Prime Minister John Major, and NATO secretary-general Manfred Woerner. 

So, one can imagine how angry the Russians must be with the current situation, having NATO bases all around them, with so many Western leaders breaking that promise not to expand, and facing the threat of Ukraine, the ex-Soviet Republic, joining NATO and having nuclear weapons on their border facing directly at them.

One must ask the obvious question. Why is it that the US thinks that it is so "exceptional", that it can impose its will through International bodies, banks, and its military on other countries?

It invades them under false pretences, with fake claims of "spreading democracy", or "Human Rights Abuses", and to those, it cannot invade, it imposes sanctions. Why does the US feel such a moral superiority when in fact they have spent the last 100+ years installing Right-Wing dictators and overthrowing left-wing governments all over the globe, and causing millions of deaths and executions from their US-trained death squads at the School of the Americas?

The USA would certainly not appreciate being surrounded by Russian or Chinese bases and having nuclear missiles faced at them as seen by the Cuba crisis in the '60s. However, they expect other countries that they constantly use as scapegoats for election losses, hack attempts, and Human Rights abuses to suffer the same indignation. 

When only weeks ago Russia said that it was considering deploying troops in Venezuela and Cuba amid growing U.S.-Russia tensions over Ukraine, the US went almost ballistic. U.S. National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan told reporters that the United States would respond "decisively" if Russia were to actually send troops to those countries.

So it seems what is good for the goose is not good for the gander, and only the US and its NATO allies have the right to security, without worrying about countries they consider enemies, having troops, and possibly nuclear weapons near their own borders.

When you consider that Russia has been invaded 3 times from the west in the last 200+ years from Napolean, to World War 1 and 2, with the last invasion being NAZI's, with Ukrainian help, you can only realise why it is so important for Russia to feel secure in their borders and not have NATO pointing guns at them from their front door.

If Russia cannot get basic security guarantees from the west, and as history shows the only words they hear about NATO have been lies about not moving eastwards. Then you can only come to the conclusion that their latest actions of bringing troops into the newly independent statelets as peacekeepers, make perfect sense for them, whatever the cost that the US and its allies impose on them for them doing so.

Whether cool heads are used in this situation or hot-headed ones I can only hope for the former but fully expect the latter from recent western media reporting on the situation.

However, with Russia and China having such a close relationship, I would not be surprised if China also recognises these statelets at the UN meeting that has been called for by Ukraine, the United States, and six other countries. This meeting is currently being held, as the US and its allies talk about cutting Russia off from the US-controlled Swift International Banking system

However, the SWIFT banking system, as earlier noted, is something that Russia and China have been using less and less lately, as well as the petrodollar. They have decided instead to conduct transactions in their own currencies rather than allow the US to export its inflation across the globe as it prints trillions of dollars and increases its debt to points that cannot ever be paid off.

We can only wait and see what the response from the US and NATO is, and then the response Russia replies with. When it comes to playing strategic chess, I think Putin would easily beat Biden, and he would have considered all these potential sanctions and threats before he made his move earlier yesterday. 

You can read this article from last year in which Russia states that it is ready to be cut off from SWIFT, so I guess that they already have an alternative if that is part of the US response to Putin's actions. I only hope that it doesn't come at a too high cost for us in Europe as I am pretty sure the US doesn't care whether we spend the winter freezing if Russia cuts off our gas in retaliation. So I really hope they have a backup plan to keep Europe warm if Nord Stream 2 is not operational.

Update - Oct 1st 2022

The Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines have both been blown up causing a massive environmental disaster due to being full of gas. Of course, stupid fingers pointed at Russia who could have easily turned the taps off at Gazprom HQ but US ships were seen in the local area carrying out underwater exercises, and apparently, they wanted to de-industrialise their biggest partner in Europe, Germany, and stop their reliance on cheap Russian gas that made them a competitor to the US. 

Plus it removed any Russian leverage over the EU who may have wanted to not have thousands of people freeze to death this winter by turning the taps back on as many protests have been occurring in Germany by angry citizens all demanding to turn Nord Stream 2 on so that businesses wouldn't close, rolling blackouts would not occur and people who were going into the woods to chop down trees for old fashioned wood burning fires could stop.
