Putin offers Donbass Referendums To Become Part Off Russia
By Dark Politricks
Sorry I haven't been about much but I have been in and out of hospital constantly and might have to go in again. Anyway if NATO is as stupid as Ukraine then we won't have to worry about it.
For those of you who missed the whole speech, you can watch it here on Redacted, a channel you should all subscribe to and watch for the news the MSM ignores. For full episodes scroll to the 30 minute mark as the rest is a 30 min collection of redacted news and CIA officers revealing how they made lies up about wars etc. It's basically to give YouTube time to get all their notifications out. However, this is just a clip about Putin's full speech, which has the history to back it up.
I bet most of you only watched a few seconds clip of Putin the other day, laying out how he has gone to the Duma to change the operation from a Special Military Operation to a full war with NATO. He is calling up 300,000 reserve forces which will make just over half a million in action. Remember Russia only started this with 200,000
Putin's Warning of World War III and the referendums in Donbass
Once these Donbass regions and breakaway republics who have been under constant shelling by neo-Nazis and Ukrainian troops for 8 years vote, and if they vote to join Russia, then the new rules the Duma passed will come into play.
The new law from 2020 outlines four scenarios in which Moscow would order the use of nuclear weapons, two of them new and involving potential instances of nuclear first-use.
The established protocol permits use when an enemy uses nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction on Russia or its allies, and in situations when conventional weapons "threaten the very existence of the country."
The two new provisions include cases in which the government receives "reliable information" that a ballistic missile attack is imminent or enemies damage the nation's critical and military facilities to the degree that the ability to retaliate with nuclear weapons is disrupted.
Therefore if these 4 regions of the Donbass become part of Russia then any attack on them, or the shelling of the biggest nuclear power station in Europe by NATO and Ukraine will mean that these new rules come into play.
Whilst the head of NATO, Norwegian ex-PM Jens Stoltenberg, is spouting all kinds of rubbish about Russia failing in Ukraine, hopefully, the military council that makes the decisions is wiser. They can see the trap that Russia is laying out for them, which changes everything.
Russia has promised security for the regions to vote over the weekend whilst Zelenskyy and his Right Sektor NAXIs are pushing laws through that if anyone votes they could spend from 5 to 10 years in prison,and even be outcast from a series of jobs for 50 years!
I thought the USA was all about democracy and freedom, it's what they parrot all the time when they want to invade a country to steal its oil. We only have to remember how they allowed Kosovo to become independent after bombing Serbia (the wrong people), with the help of bin-Laden and al-Qaeda and the terrorist group the KLA, to see their double standards.
So if these regions attack the newly Russian Donbass areas, they could be in for a shock, so could all NATO countries as Putin has made it pretty clear he knows it is NATO that is fighting the war down to the last Ukrainian and that US real time satellite images are being passed to Ukrainians so that they can attack Russian positions.
However after the full mobilisation of 600,000+ Russian troops, who are not running away on one-way tickets out of Russia as the west has claimed. They are ex-soldiers and they will not be deployed on the front line.
What will happen if Ukraine carries on shelling innocent people in markets and civilian areas? As this full episode of Redacted shows, it has interviews with Scott Ritter, ex-Iraq weapons inspector and Marine, plus Eva Bartlett, an independent journalist who unlike CNN or the BBC actually goes to the war zones she writes about.
As they are interviewing her just blocks from where 4 people were killed by Ukrainian shelling earlier in the day, you can actually hear shells being fired. The Ukrainians like the Israelis, like doing double taps.
They shell a civilian area, kill and injure a load of people, wait a while until the ambulances turn up, and then shell again hoping to destroy those ambulances. I suggest everyone should follow her on YoutTube and https://t.me/Reality_Theories Telegram for up-to-date information from her.
Please click this link to watch a video of Ukrainian forces attacking ambulances and civilians. YouTube won't let me embed it as it's too violent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJZvxWQfSHc
Now for the main video with interviews with Eva Bartlett and Scott Ritter who reckons now that this is a war not a Special Military Operation that hundreds of tanks will just roll through Ukrainian lines and spread out killing everyone as the Russian air force which has hardly been used will be attacking Ukrainian areas, HQs, even civilian areas as the US/UK did in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Remember to scroll to 30 minutes into the video to get to the start. The first two pieces are with Scott and Eva, you don't have to watch news about Trump, and Dr Fauci finally admitting lockdowns caused harm to children and businesses.
Let's just hope NATO tells Ukraine to stop killing innocent people and they stop attacking Russia after the referendum which will undoubtedly result in the regions joining Russia as that will just lead to Armageddon
If You Thought The War Was Ukraine v Russia Get Ready For A Shock
By Dark Politricks
Here comes World
War 3 as Biden sends Ukraine long range missiles that they can fire into Russia.....
What does he not get about red lines?
Does the USA think they are really the only country that can set them? As Putin has shown he is no bluffer when he said "Ukraine was a red line for him.", almost 20 years ago now!
Also to anyone who thinks he is "Mad" or "dying of cancer/Parkinson's", sorry but he isn't, that's typical western dissinfo for you.
However what isn't US / UK lies is that in Russia Putin is
considered a dove, "a bit of a pussy" so to speak. Believe it or not but
Russian people and politicians want him to annihilate Ukraine and nuke us ASAP. They think he is going too soft on Ukraine. Instead of just the 200k
troops he sent for his "Special Military Operation" they want him to
declare war on Ukraine and us, and mobilise the whole 2 million Russian
army with conscripts and everything. That is how much of a dove Putin
is.
The fact that he hasn't even fired cruise missiles into
Ukrainian Military HQ centres where he knows NATO and US / UK generals
are all sitting there helping plan "their" war to fight Russia down to
the last Ukrainian shows what a dove he is as he doesn't want to
escalate the war by killing top NATO generals which is what would
happen.
So that is restraint when he knows these US/UK politicians are breaking what they said they would not do, by visiting Kyiv like it was London on a Saturday, whilst sitting in military HQ offices, Russian intelligence MUST KNOW where they are at, and signing new $40bn orders for weapons that could start WWIII. If other Russian politicians were in power such as Lavrov or Medvedev, they would have blown up Zelenskyy, Schiff, Blinken, Boris Johnson, Nancy Pelosi and all the other "helpful visitors/ neocon warmongers" to Kyiv when they visited, just to show them they mean business and NO MEANS NO.
President Vladimir Putin endorsed Russia’s nuclear deterrent policy, which allows him to use atomic weapons in response to a conventional strike targeting the nation’s critical government and military infrastructure. So if we give Ukraine these missiles and they fire them into Russia they could nuke us back if they wanted, as they do see the war as being between NATO and Russia, Ukraine is just the battlefield. So it would be game over - no restarts!
Watch this episode of the Duran to find out what other Russians think of his softly-softly approach in Ukraine.
However, the US/UK/EU are the complete opposite, they just keep sending arms
and men and ramping the war up as US politician Adam Schiff said in the
house "We fight Russia over there so that we don't have to fight them here". So these US neocons honestly believe it is a war between them and Russia just that they are using Ukraine as a place to get destroyed with everyone killed or made a refugee as they organise the fighting..
Watch Adam Schiff say it in the House here.
In this photo taken from a video released by the Russian Defence Ministry on Thursday, Ukrainian servicemen in a penal colony in Olyonivka, a territory under the government of the Donetsk People's Republic's control, in Eastern Ukraine, are pictured after leaving the besieged Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol. (Russian Defence Ministry Press Service/The Associated Press).
As they left the steelworks all the men were all strip searched for signs of NAZI tattoos and links to the AZOV brigade using facial recognition software to see if they were apart from any group responsible for the atrocities carried out in the Donbass over the last 8-year civil war.
In this video you can see Russian and DPR soldiers, stopping cars in Maripoul for signs of participation in the battles. They are looking for traces of weapons or long-term wearing of ammunition, as well as tattoos that indicate that a person belongs to the Armed Forces of Ukraine or right-wing nationalist battalions, like the AZOV Brigade.
I think that now that the AZOV NAZI's have surrendered and are being shipped off to Russia to POW camps before being tried for war crimes in the Donbass, the Ukrainian's have a severe lack of manpower.
Guess what the average age of the surrendering or dead Ukrainian soldiers being found is?
It's their mid 40s!
Apparently, many Ukrainian officers have been doing runners in the middle of the night so their men wake up and surrender as they don't know what to do!
That's confidence for you when your own leaders do a runner as they are so scared of being shot by Russians, the threat of execution by the Ukrainians for desertion seems a far better option than leading your men into battle!
I
wouldn't be surprised if Russia soon started capturing young English men
pretending to be Ukrainian soldiers, just shouting loudly with bad Russian accents. The sort found in the films
from the 80s, such as Red Dawn and Red Heat, "I'll be back", Arnold Schwarzenegger style. I wouldn't put it past NATO (UK/US) to send troops into the war zone, pretending to be Ukrainians, just to make up for all the heavy losses Ukraine is having.
It is like he wants the whole world to hate the US as these
countries dependant on cheap gas and land locked countries in Europe
like Hungary who is already telling the EU they cannot manage without
Russian gas and can't get gas or oil by ship, as the US or UK could.
If Russia (and I don't know why they haven't yet) turn
all the gas pipes off into Europe the lights go off our energy bills
which have already tripled since last year will skyrocket and we will be
lucky if anyone can drive anywhere or even work.
We depend on Russian
cheap gas there is no alternative. If we wanted to be like France we
should have built nuclear power stations 10yrs ago as that's how long they
take, we can't just whip a few up quickly (in the dark with no
power), we never think ahead when it comes to stupid wars.
I just wish the politicians who cause all this mess would have to go and fight them themselves like Kings of the olden days.
Imagine Boris Johnson in a tank saluting as it rolls along in
Ukraine and then Boom, as a US Javelin missile that the Russians have
been collecting as trophies and keepsakes off the Ukrainians they have
killed hits into him and blows his tank to bits! Actually the Javelins are not very good, the US has been selling old stock,and there are
videos of Russian tanks hit by 4 or 5 who have still managed to continue
fighting that is if it doesn't blow up in the person holding its arms, not that many of you would know this from our news.
It's not like the old days of Kings on horses leading
Knights on a charge into battle anymore its kids who were good at playing Sega in
the 90s controlling drones and RAVs from thousands of miles away.
These sanctions are hurting us more than Russia who has just had the best wheat crop in years. In an article it says that "Russia may increase its wheat crop to 80.7 million tonnes in 2022 from 75.5 million tonnes in 2021 due to good weather conditions for winter wheat", but we won't be getting any,
instead we will be taking it from other countries who only have so much
which is already causing food shortages and queues for hours at petrol
stations across the global South.
Just look at this graph to see how much of Africa is dependent on wheat from either Russia or Ukraine. Do you think they will forgo buying from Russia, as Ukraine won't have any, just to satisfy the NATO lust for sanctioning Russia?
Also what about the other sources, which we in the West will have bought up at higher prices long before any African or Global South country could scrape together the money to buy more expensive wheat from elsewhere?
Russia: US $7.3 billion (13.1% of total wheat exports)
United States: $7.29 billion (13.1%)
Australia: $7.2 billion (13%)
Canada: $6.6 billion (11.9%)
Ukraine: $4.7 billion (8.5%)
Will we forgo our own food supply as we cut our own nose off to spite our face, and then allow other countries to buy from Russia? No, we will take it all and then sanctimoniously criticise these countries for still purchasing necessities from Russia, maybe even sanctioning them if we are really that evil.
Just look at Sri Lanka and what is going on there and then
see what is coming our way soon. Food shortages, mile queues for petrol,
protestors literally pulling politicians out of their cars and beating
them with sticks.
That is what happens in a world where we tell other
countries they cannot do X or Y as we have a tiff with Russia. Sorry that it iscausing huge wheat shortages as we buy it all up so the poor global south can't, but that is the price of "Standing with Ukraine".
It will cause riots, the toppling of governments, and possible wars across the poorer nations of the world, if you don't believe me wait a couple of years then come back and laugh in the comment section. Welcome to Mad Max!
What I don't get though is western propaganda, I forced myself the other day to watch ITV news, I am never going to watch the BBC, a more Government controlled state broadcaster you cannot get, and I rank them above PressTV and Russia Today.
The BBC is literally paid for by taxpayers, a special tax called the "licence fee" just for the BBC, and one you can go to jail for if you watch it without paying. It also has a board of directors placed there by the government. Most of the presenters are working for MI6, as I have detailed in other articles, with hidden 2nd tax free salaries, just to keep the propaganda flowing. I suggest reading Jon Snow's autobiography if you want more details on how they work hand in hand with the spooks.
Anyway, ITV news was literally having a piece about the "Cost of Living Situation", where they were interviewing people about inflation, the rising heating and petrol costs, and the lack of food at Supermarkets etc.
However NOT ONCE, did they ever mention that this cost of living crisis is one of our own making and due to our own sanctions on Russia that have basically come back and bit us in our face.
Whilst Russia is having a booming economy, with a higher exchange rate of dollars to roubles than before the war, and a surplus of cash due to imports, and gas for roubles, we are struggling to pay for basic necessities, yet ITV did not even raise the question to any of the people they interviewed.
Just once I would have like to see the "journalist" out on the roadside by a queue of cars waiting to get into a petrol station to see the passengers wind down their windows and ask them whether they thought that the war in Ukraine that Boris and his neo-con friends want to fight so badly is worth all the pain and suffering to average families across Britain, but no, not once did they ask this simple question.
I would love to know what the average bloke who knows sod all about foreign relations thinks about having to pay extra and hunt around for baby formula, or what people paying sky-high heating and petrol bills in the UK think about the DIRECT LINK between our rising inflation and the sanctions we placed on Russia.
All of this is because Russia recognised the independence of two separatist regimes in East Ukraine, something Putin didn't actually want to do, and if the French and Germans had followed the Minsk accords, then this war would probably not have happened. However they ensured they were not followed and kept poking the bear, now the bear has bitten back.
So why is no ITV journalist asking people at the petrol pump whether they feel it is right that we have to pay more for food and petrol due to Putin feeling the guilt and need to punish the NAZI element in Zelenskyy's armed forces who had killed over 16,000+ Russian speaking people in the 8yr long civil war in the Donbass. People who had committed many genocides along the way, and all started by a US-led colour revolution (coup) which the EU helped foment.
I would love to see a journalist ask a school mum whether the famous Odessa Trade Union massacre, where people were forced into the building, which was then set on fire as police and NAZI's laughed and sank anti-Semitic songs outside as people jumped to their deaths rather than be burnt alive, is a good enough reason to "Stand with Ukraine", and pay more for food, gas, and cause a global food shortage in Africa and around the globe with the possibility of World War III on our hands as well.
Just watch this video to see why these new missile sales are so dangerous. It's from Redacted a good channel I've found on YouTube with two ex FOX NEWS reporters, if you can believe it, now telling us the truth rather than the corporate bullshit they were forced to spoon-feed us before.
Please let me know in the comments if you think the real chance of food shortages, possible wars around the world over rising costs of living, and the possibility of world war 3 is worth it to "Stand with Ukraine" against Russia.
Russia Can Be Bad, And At The Same Time, NATO Can Be At Fault For Crossing Russia's Red Lines
By Dark Politricks
I know in the West at the moment it is a hard thing to accept, that we may be at some fault for the crisis Ukraine is currently in, however, 2 things can be right at the same time.
1. Putin is wrong for invading Ukraine,
and;
2. We hold some responsibility for ignoring all the warning signs, crossing Putin's red lines, and using Ukraine as a way to toy with Putin's paranoia of being attacked once again from the West.
Whilst people can rightly say Russia is doing a bad thing by invading a sovereign country, it can also be said at the same time, that despite Russia warning us over and over again that NATO was crossing their red lines, we kept on doing so, ignoring Putin's words.
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 pretenses, with fake claims of "spreading democracy", or "Human Rights Abuses", and to those, it cannot invade, it imposes sanctions. But when have sanctions ever worked.Have they worked with North Korea or Iran?
No they have only emboldened them and allowed their leaders to point to the West and say "We are not the problem, it is the evil West that is trying to destroy us".
Did sanctions work in Syria or Iraq, no, they only led to the starvation deaths of half a million Iraqi babies due to not enough milk being available. Something Madeleine Albright says in this interview that she thought "it was a price worth paying".
Half a million kids dead, on the USA's conscience, how can they continue to apply these measures knowing that they are not effective and only lead to the suffering of ordinary people?
So why is that the US and it's allies in the #AxisOfWar 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. In fact when you look at all the wars started since 1945, the majority, a huge 81% has been by the USA.
Now can you not see how aggrieved Russia must be to have been lied to in such a way, and for NATO to keep on pushing that Russian red-line, using Ukraine as a way to wind up Putin by offering them NATO membership but never actually doing so.
How would Russia know if they would actually follow through on their promises?
Just as Obama had red lines in Syria, Putin has his own red lines. Why is it okay for the US to set down red lines and then act on them but not Russia?
This US news piece from the HILL has some nice inserts into it from lectures done years ago, all saying the same thing.
That if NATO carries on the way it is doing with Ukraine, that country is going to end up wrecked.
A very large degree of hypocrisy lies at the middle of the Ukraine crisis and it is the Ukrainian state that is suffering from NATO and the US toying with it.
The Maidan coup in 2014 was Obama's fault, Biden was his VP at the time, so right in the middle of it all, and he should feel some responsibility for overthrowing their existing leader and installing a far-right NAZI in power.
This was a western puppet who was only too happy to send neo-NAZI thugs and military off to the East to commit war crimes against the Russian speaking people of the Donbass. They have been in a civil war for 8 years now. Not a single home exists in the east of Ukraine which doesn't have a bullet hole or mortar shell hole in it somewhere. You can read the history that led us to this point in an earlier article of mine > The Propaganda War Has Started.
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.
Therefore if Ukraine is not going to remove the NAZI element deep in the heart of it then someone needs to.
Putin's solution to the NAZIs on hs border, killing Russians in the Donbass, maybe going too far, and he maybe using it as an excuse to justify what he really believes, which is that Ukraine does not have a right to exist as an independent nation apart from Russia.
However, any de-NAZIFICATION has to be good, and despite numerous fantastical stories of Ukrainian fights to the death, or the computer-generated fighter pilot known as the Ghost of Kyiv who apparently shot down 8 Russian planes in one day, his troops have actually been found to be quite restrained in some places during the invasion.
Whereas Ukrainian propaganda like the tale of the men on the Snake Island 13, fighting to their deaths, in reality, the Russian ship, let the 82 (not 13) men board, gave them food and water and dropped them off so they could go home to their families. The Ukrainians even said that if the Russians wanted to bury them they could have but instead they helped them get home safely.
Does that sound like a cold bloodied murdering army on a random killing spree?
This video links a few of the pro-Ukrainian propaganda stories together to dispel them, and as you can see from the links, not only US but UK and European and Ukrainian media outlets all repeated the propaganda hook line and sinker without any actual investigation.
It is the lazy news gathering and then repeating of, that makes us look foolish as well as liars in the face of the world when we keep crying wolf only to find out the wolf actually protected the sheep.
Why is it that the USA would never ever allow Russia to put arms, and soldiers on their borders say in Mexico and Canada, but it's okay for them to do the same to Russia?
Shouldn't the same rules apply to all nations of the world?
It shouldn't be a case of what the US and NATO does is right 100% of the time, and what Russia does is always wrong. We must find some balance here and the NATO actions of putting weapons in Poland, breaking treaties and claiming the missiles were to stop any attack from Iran, rather than as offensive weapons for targeting Russia was ridiculous, and probably only increased Putin's paranoia that NATO was trying to surround him, which they have.
I am not saying the result is good, just that we must bear some responsibility for it. As we hurl sanction upon sanction and use words such as "We are going to crush Russia's economy with Sanctions", we are very close to crossing another of Putin's red lines, attacking him personally.
Russia currently has the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons with 8,4000 and a section of its nuclear doctrine allows for use of the weapons if there is a vague suggestion of a threat. Vladimir Putin has also carried out 2 nuclear attack drills since becoming President again in 2012. When was the last time a Western nation held such a massive attempt to prepare us for nuclear war?
I also want to remind you of the "Dead Hand Switch". During the Cold War, due to fears of a successful first strike from US nuclear submarines Russia created a fail-safe device for their nuclear weapons arsenal to ensure a second-strike capability even if all command and control were to be destroyed. The system (code-named Dead Hand) utilized seismic, light, radioactivity, and pressure sensors to detect an incoming nuclear attack and retaliate if necessary.
The best part? The system is almost certainly still operational, even if the first strike by NATO is successful all Russian ballistic missiles will automatically be fired towards their intended targets leading to world annihilation.
Let's just hope cooler heads are being used and not the US MIC pushing for a "no fly zone" which would obviously lead to escalation if a US plane shot down a Russian one.
We must realise that not only has Putin made a drastic mistake in invading Ukraine, but that we also hold some responsibility for ignoring all the speeches, talks and declarations Putin had made over the years regarding Russia's red lines which included NO NATO in Ukraine.
We must be grown up enough to realise that a lot of the world, including the 2 biggest populations in India and China who refused to condemn Russia at a UN meeting feel that the US is being very hypocritical when they go around invading nations with no realisation that other countries see their acts on the same level as we are now treating Putin and Russia for invading Ukraine.
What is security for one nation, must be security for another. We cannot cross other nations red lines and at the same time expect everyone else to never cross our own. What is good for the goose is good for the gander and two things can be right at the same time.
1. Putin shouldn't have invaded Ukraine. All war should be illegal unless a UN security council resolution allows for it. We all went to war in WWII to fight NAZISM, Putin claims to want to de-NAZIFY Ukraine. Ukraine admittedly has NAZI groups that have been fighting in the Donbass and a number of war crimes can be attributed to them.
Whether this is an excuse or not, Nazis should be cleansed from every country, however, Russia invading Ukraine was not the right move. The Minsk accords which have been ignored by Ukraine and the West were the path to peace, yet we squandered that approach and now we have this mess on out hands.
2. NATO and the West have been pushing Putin towards this point with all their meddling in Ukraine, coups, and broken promises of joining NATO, but still arming them and training them and of course lying to Mikel Gorbachev about the expansion of NATO which is right up on Russia's front door now.NATO was supposed to be a Cold War alliance, so why does it still exist, if not for Russia?
Maybe some politicians can be wise enough to see that both of these can be true at the same time, and cool down on the rhetoric of "destroying Russia through sanctions", as that is only going to inflame the one nation I know of that has carried out regular nuclear attack civil drills with up to 40 million civilians involved.
Have you had a drill in your country lately? Do you wonder why Russia has had these drills, and if not shouldn't you?
Are we creating a false fear of war with North Korea?
By Dark Politricks
As this video shows, this is how the "establishment media" sells wars to the populace by fear mongering and leaving out parts of statements by the "enemy" that would provide context to otherwise threatening language.
Tonight the BBC showed a controversial Panorama programme in which the BBC tricked the London School of Economicsinto allowing their film crew to hop along with a trip of students to the country.
Three journalists accompanied 10 London School of Economics students and spent eight days in the country.
The university and its students' union have demanded the corporation withdraw the programme.
But BBC head of news programmes Ceri Thomas said the North Korean government was the only party the corporation had deceived.
If you can access BBC iPlayer or have the Firefox plugin Modify Headers and can find a UK IP address then you can view the programme (probably tomorrow) here >> Panorama North Korea Undercover
To be fair, the North Korean state is a Stalinist, Nationalist dictatorship in which rule passes down a family line and the new young ruler is most likely showing strength and acting out to secure his position internally.
However despite the rhetoric and the fact that his armed forces are a million strong they are armed with antiquated weaponry, old Russian tanks and rifles and their nuclear bombs are most likely stolen or bought from the black market.
It is true that the North Korean regime is a horrible communist nightmare in which hundreds of thousands of people are locked up in gulags and camps. The people have suffered multiple famines in which grass became the main available food for the "workers" whilst the ruling family and generals most likely ate like kings.
As George Orwell said in Animal Farm, some animals are more equal than others and I suspect that is undoubtedly the case in North Korea right now.
However despite all this the two Korea's are still technically at war. No peace treaty has ever been signed between the North and South since the war ended in the 50's and therefore the two countries are still on a war footing.
The USA is committed to backing up the South and China the North, therefore any miscalculation by the Koreans or American's could easily lead to an outbreak of war. It would be foolish if we allowed this to happen because of propaganda and lies.
We have to realise that North Korea is not stupid.
They saw what happened to Iraq and Libya when they gave up their WMD's. To them, a nuclear weapon is the ultimate guarantee of safety from attack. This is probably the same thinking that the Iranians have.
They have explicitly said this time after time and if anything their ratcheting up of war talk is aimed at getting peace talks started again.
However it is not North Korea preventing a peace treaty between all sides from occurring but the pre-conditions set by the Americans that the North give up all their nuclear ambitions that is stopping a peace treaty from being signed.
Who is the USA, the only country to have used a nuclear bomb in anger, to decide who is and who isn't allowed nuclear weapons?
When we have countries like Israel who are stocked to the teeth with nuclear weaponry being allowed to continue their nuclear ambitions whilst talking about attacking Iran for even thinking about having their own. It is no wonder that North Korea is not willing to give up the ultimate deterrent.
When we are not even willing to budge on our own nuclear capability and allow our friends to own nuclear weapons whilst declaring our enemies ambitions off limits it is no wonder that a large part of the world see's this hypocrisy and then calculates that only by having nuclear bombs will it prevent an attack by the axis of war i.e US/UK/France.
North Korea is not a pleasant place to live and their rulers are despots. However the way to overcome this is by signing a peace treaty, allowing open borders and people from both sides of Korea to cross the border and see that they are not so different after all.
Once North Korea can stop diverting all it's money from it's armed forces to actually modernising it's country then things might change.
However it seems we are once again stuck in the 80's. Trying to defeat a communist regime by bankrupting and starving them to submission by forcing them to spend money they don't have on defensive measures because they are rightly paranoid of attack.
It may have worked with the USSR but North Korea has held on much longer and seems willing to let their citizens resort to eating grass or cannibalism so that it's few resources can be spent maintaining ancient weaponry that would be wiped out immediately if any war started.
Lets just hope people our side of the divide are not fooled into war once again like we were with Iraq and Libya.
The neo-cons are probably flipping coins at the moment deciding whether to attack Iran or North Korea and propaganda like the sort we are constantly being fed at the moment about North Korea threatening to nuke us without giving us the full context is not helping at all.
Remember - find the facts out for yourself and don't rely on the mainstream media for your nightly statements of fear.

First off I would like to apologise to my readers due to the fact that I haven't been able to blog much lately due to some cancerous health issues. However as I sit at home waiting for an operation tomorrow I am watching the news channels and it appears to me that on comparable levels with the cold war we are actually already in a warm war with Iran.
We have gone way past the level of lies, mis-information and propaganda that it always required before a war and we are now actually engaging in hostile actions against our perceived enemy.
Just like the war against Iraq was fermented perfectly with lies of WMD, terrorist support and links to 9.11 we have been prepped for the current conflict very carefully over the last decade with similar lies and government backed talking heads on TV filling all the sheeples heads with propaganda, bullshit and nationalistic furor.
Lets just refresh our memories with a few of the lies we have been told about Iran.
1. They are trying to build nuclear weapons.
First off I personally think they would be crazy not to want to have nukes after seeing how their neighbours were bombed to dust for not having them. When given the choice of having the same treatment as Iraq and Libya or the hands off approach North Korea and Pakistan have received despite numerous incidents which would have sparked a war in any other country. I can see how certain Iranian officials could logically come to the conclusion that obtaining a nuclear capability would prevent attack. However that is just my perspective.
However as the IAEA themselves say, there is no proof whatsoever that Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb. They might be concerned with the Iranians programme but there is nothing in their latest report that indicates Iran is actually building or has decided to build a nuclear bomb.
Tehran has obviously dismissed all the intelligence used to further the case for war as fabricated lies straight from Tel Aviv and Langley but we can forget what they say can't we.
Why would we trust the Iranians when the CIA and Mossad are such honest, trustworthy sources of information?
Lets also remember that up until this last report the IAEA had provided no evidence whatsoever to prove that the Iranians were building a nuke and even US intelligence agencies had until recently been admitting there was no proof that Iran was building a bomb in their December 2007 National Intelligence Estimate.
So with the IAEA still monitoring all the Iranian nuclear enrichment facilities and with Russia taking away all nuclear waste so that it cannot be used in a weapon and with a multitude of experts agreeing that under this regime their is little chance of proliferation what has changed?
Well the old head of the IAEA, Mohamed ElBaradei, has been replaced by what many, including the Iranian president claim is a "US Puppet", a Mr Yukiya Amano. The new head of the International Atomic Energey Agency seems to be a more pliable and accommodating leader of the IAEA and closely aligned with US / Israeli foreign policy objectives. Recent WikiLeaks cables seem to bear this out.
"The IAEA transition that will come as DG [director general] ElBaradei’s term ends November 30 provides a once-a-decade opportunity to overcome bureaucratic inertia, modernize Agency operations, and position the new director general for strong leadership from the DG’s office....DG of all states, but in agreement with us."
So with a new head of the IAEA it seems a new era of perspective and possible political control over the agency was created. It is therefore no surprise then that even as independent commentators have stuck to their guns about Iranian plans the IAEA has swung 360 degrees and started obfuscating their report language to enable the talking heads to make what they want of it whilst the underlying facts stay the same.
2. The Iranian President wants to wipe Israel off the map.
This is a key piece of propaganda that is often repeated by MSM talking heads and many of the Republican candidates during their endless primary debates. However it is based on a lie, repeated enough times to become a reality in many peoples eyes.
The translation of what the Iranian President actually said and an analysis of it can be found on my site but the crux of the matter is just like the Osama bin Laden video which showed him "confessing to committing the 9.11 attacks". The lie is based on a poor or deliberate mistranslation and a willingness to propagate these known untruths into the minds of the weak and the willing for propaganda purposes.
"Ahmadinejad said people once thought it was impossible to remove the Shah as Iran‘s dictator, but it was done. He then said that people thought the Soviet government and Saddam’s government would never fall. He then quoted a religious leader’s words from speeches he gave encouraging Iran‘s persistence to oppose the Shah‘s occupying regime. The speech’s crystal-clear content and context is to encourage people to persist for justice from Israel’s government because they act as an occupying regime against Palestine."
This lie has been repeated by TV stations, newspapers and illiterate bloggers throughout the world as if gospel. The reason is clear as in all pre-war drum beats - demonize the enemy and make the target seem like a defenseless child in need of protection.
3. Israel is not a defenseless child in need of protection.
Israel is the only country in the Middle East who definitely has nuclear weapons as well as being the only country who has repeatedly threatened to use them on their neighbours. Whereas Iran has not started a war for many decades Israel has started many and it seems to requires a perpetual existential threat to hold the Zionist regime together.
Does the Torah not say that "He who destroys one life is as though he destroys a whole world". Maybe it's their super racist religion that makes them God's special children, above us mere Goyim and therefore no diferent from squashing a cockroach or two that enables them to threaten to rain down death and destruction from the sky on their neighbours with impunity.
As we can see in this FOX News clip Israel is already threatening to nuke Iran to prevent Iran getting nukes!
If nukes are going to be used to kill innocent civillians does it really matter which group of women, children and men are burned to a crisp in a flickering of an eye?
Israel unlike Iran is also not a member of the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty. No IAEA inspectors are checking Israels nuclear plants or ensuring they don't sell or distribute their nuclear technology to other countries as has been claimed by independent reporters.
In fact Israel has the most advanced military in the region and although not part of NATO they seem to be able to employ their biggest donors support at the click of their fingers (or the few hundred letters signed by paid for Congressmen).
Those are just 3 of the biggest lies we are being spoon fed by our compliant media groups who are all preparing us for the inevitable next conflict that keeps the US/UK axis of death in perpetual war even when we are all bankrupt and cutting spending on our own citizens at home. Who need's nurses or teachers when we can spend a few hundred thousand quid on a Tomahawk missile aimed at an office block in Tehran
We are Already At War with Iran
However it clear from recent events that the West is already engaged in hostile actions against the Iranian regime.
With Republican candidates gleefully cheering when another Iranian scientist is blown to smithereens and the Israeli's staying silent with a big smile on their face as all fingers get pointed their way it is clear that covert operations have already started to both slow down any Iranian nuclear programme and prep the ground for war.
The motorcycles attaching bombs to the side of cars already moving before blowing them up is a well known Mossad tactic. Even US shows like NCIS show the Mossad engaging in such techniques to assassinate their enemies. When Iran points the finger at Israel and the USA it is a logical conclusion seeing that multiple scientists and a large number of military troops have died in similar car bombings and attacks at military installations over the past couple of years.
Then we have the first ever known form of cyber warfare engaged against Iran with the infamous Stuxnet virus. A virus so complicated it used multiple zero day exploits unknown to the manufacture that was cleverly passed from control system to system by means of a memory stick.
Once embedded into it's intended victim, the Iranian nuclear facility at Natanz it mimicked the historical activities of the reactor whilst it span the centrifuges out of control with the operators none the wiser. It was very clever attempt to derail the Iranian nuclear program and one that could have caused a major disaster if not spotted in time.
How does that concept work again - when we can pick and chose the terrorists, helping them other-throw a country like Libya one day and then spend a decade fighting a few dozen of them another?
Then we have the hypocrisy of the West in action for all to see once again clear as day.
Whilst we turn a blind eye to Israeli nukes and it's illegal oppression of Palestinians in breach of numerous UN resolutions we attack Syria, Libya and Iran for their repressive regimes whilst supporting Saudi Arabia and Bahrain as they commit the exact same acts against their people.
We pick and choose our enemies for political purposes whilst dressing up our attacks up in clothes that blind the stupid into believing we really are just on humanitarian missions or wanting to keep world peace.
If one goes back though the last hundred years and counts the number of wars the axis of death (US/UK) has been involved in you would lose count quite quickly, especially if you included all the "undeclared wars" and covert operations we routinely engage in.
Then there is our own behaviour that doesn't hold up to inspection when placed in front of a mirror. We claim to be the leaders of democracy and liberal freedom whilst our police beat, pepper spray and even kill protesters on the streets of London and New York who are awakening to the financial corporatocracy that has enveloped our political system.
For such a discredited political system that is dependent on continual war such as ours to sit in judgment on the behaviour of others is a laughable concept when you actually sit and think about it.
Why should a few Western nations be able to decide arbitrarily who can and cannot be trusted to hold certain weapons, who is humane and who is in breach of human rights. Who deserves to be attacked relentlessly from the sky and who should be sold weapons by the billion. Who should die and should live.
Why do we get to make such important decisions when our own actions and behaviour do not stand up to scrutiny?
How Would a War Progress
As for the "warm war" we are already in we don't need to read tea leaves to see how a real war would progress.
Israel, with help from Saudi Arabia and the US/UK axis of death would launch air strikes to try and destroy all Iranian nuclear facilities as well as military installations, radar sites, missiles silos and probably the homes of everyone with a degree in physics.
Iran has already said it would try to block the Straits of Hormuz, which would cut off 25% of the UK's natural gas supply and much more oil and gas to other nations. Their allies in Lebanon and any left in Syria would undoubtedly launch missile attacks on Israel from the North and Hamas may even give the Israelis the excuse they want to re-invade Gaza by firing from the south.
The US would try to unblock the Straits of Hormuz causing a massive shoot up in the sea that no merchant ship would dare sail through if they had their wits about them and the price of petrol and heating would rise immensely.
If Iran has as is claimed Russian sunburn missiles or their newest air defense systems we could even see more than few dead US and Israeli pilots, sea-men and civilians if they can fire off missiles before all their silos are destroyed.
If air strikes are not enough then a ground war could be in the pipeline with US bases in Iraq and Afghanistan they are perfectly positioned to attack Iran from both sides. However as we have seen from their recent exploits, they cannot even win a war against mud hut dwelling villagers who have been repelling invaders for centuries and who give AK-47's to their kids as birthday presents.
Another ground war against a much tougher and better equipped army would not be a pretty site and could even draw other countries in either through proxies or a full blown Middle East conquest. China is keen to take all the oil the west doesn't want by implementing sanctions on Iran and Russia has been more than helpful to Iran and Syria by setting up anti aircraft missile and early warning systems.
The US has already declared their intention to control the natural gas and oil reserves of the Middle East and the Caucasus regions and slow down the rise of China by limiting their supplies of oil and other natural resources.
Whilst China is busy making friends by investing in Africa, the Middle East and South America and buying their resources America seems to feel conquest is the preferred option for obtaining the same outcome. Who would you pick as an ally if you were an independent nation stuck in the middle and had to make a choice?
The famous PNAC document details all these plans very clearly. 9.11 was the catalyst that they wanted which enabled them to enact their plans to rebuild America's Defenses and start an imperial journey of conquest and the Obama administration has done nothing to slow it down.
Terrorist attacks on Western cities would be a certainty if war broke out and the whole disastrous affair would be a massive distraction to the economic crisis that threatens to engulf us all if war or natural disaster doesn't first. The ending to this saga would not be good for anyone involved.
For those of you who don't wish to not spend another decade of lost liberties at home, dead relatives fighting pointless wars abroad and ridiculously high petrol prices then you know what you have to do.
The millions of people who marched and protested verbosely couldn't stop the war against Iraq even though the majority of sensible people knew it was a phony war built on phony intelligence and if only a few politicians had a conscience and resigned things might have been different.
However the US public has a brilliant opportunity in the upcoming Presidential election to make their voice heard by voting for a candidate who won't embroil the world in more war and financial doom.
Who that candidate is I will leave up to you to decide but it sure isn't the incumbent Obama and it sure isn't the majority of Republican candidates. I only hope enough of you chose wisely and pick someone not in the pocket of the Zionist lobby, the world might depend on it.
