“And you will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end.” (Matthew 24:6) (NASB)
There are certain actions that nations take before going to war. Those actions are being taken right now.
- All week long there have been reports that the US & the UK had changed their policy and would now allow Ukraine to use Western provided weapons to strike deep into Russia. New missiles were being provided.
- Previously, Russia warned NATO just last week that should Western weapons be used deep into Russia that war would be felt on both sides of the Atlantic.
- National Security Spokesman Admiral John Kirby said that at present there was no change in policy regarding the use of missiles deep into Russia.
- UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Canda’s Justin Trudeau are pushing the US to allow the missiles to fly.
Putin responded with an address on TV. “So, this is not about whether or not to allow the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia using these weapons, but of deciding whether or not NATO countries are directly involved in the military conflict or not. If such a decision is taken, it will mean nothing short of direct participation of NATO countries, the United States, European countries, in the war in Ukraine. This would constitute their direct participation, and this, of course, changes the very essence, the very nature of the conflict. It will mean that NATO countries, the United States and European countries, are at war with Russia.” Pretty strong stuff!- Moscow followed up with an official statement by UN Ambassador, Vassily Nebenzia. “If such a decision is made, that means NATO countries are starting an open war against Russia. In that case, we will obviously be forced to make certain decisions, with all the attendant consequences for Western aggressors…. Only NATO troops can program the flight solutions for those missile systems. Ukraine doesn’t have that capability. This is not about allowing Kiev to strike Russia with long-range weapons, but about the West making the targeting decisions. NATO would become directly involved in military action against a nuclear power. I don’t think I have to explain what consequences that would have.”
- Putin underlined that point with the blunt statement he gave on September 12th. “Long range weapons for Kiev will mean NATO nations have declared war against Russia.”[i]
- The families of Russian diplomats, including their ambassador to the US have been leaving Washington. The embassies and consulates are being run with a skeleton crew. A withdrawal of the diplomatic corps is traditionally a sign that war is near.
This may not technically be Armageddon, but things are moving toward a World War. I say this without exaggeration. Russia is warning Washington about strikes against the US mainland. But that warning is seemingly having no effect. Aided by targeting from the Swedish Royal Navy, NATO forces launched drone attacks against Russia from inside of Finland.
Just look back at the entire Ukrainian situation, dating back to 2014 when American intel agencies coordinated by Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland managed to chase out the duly – and fairly – elected President, Viktor Yanukovych during the Maidan uprising. The US has been using Ukraine for its’ own purposes. And that purpose has been to take down Russia and seize their resources, a goal openly written about in foreign policy publications. It is now apparent, that the NEOCONS that control the Deep State are actively trying to goad Putin to strike NATO so they can label Russia the aggressor and launch a war against Moscow. This is both massively foolish and dangerous.
Europe is fasting heading to a full war footing. Even traditionally-neutral Switzerland has ordered all government departments into a “pre-war” phase.[ii] Moscow is not sitting idle. It too is flexing its’ military muscle. “HMS Iron Duke and HMS Tyne have tracked four Russian vessels through United Kingdom (UK) waters in recent days as RAF jets intercepted a Russian strategic bomber on Wednesday. The Navy’s warships shadowed the Russian advances to ‘protect national security’ as four vessels sailed through the English Channel and the North Sea.” While the British Government talked bravely of 100 years of support for Ukraine, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Federation Council threatened the UK with the use of hypersonic missiles, a weapon for which, the West does not currently have an answer.[iii]
BACKGROUND
So, let’s lift the veil on what actually brought us to this situation. After the fall of the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, the Bush Sr administration promised not to expand NATO to the east, toward Russia’s borders. That promise did not last long. Clinton followed Bush and the race was on to add new countries to the NATO orbit. All the while, Western missile systems creeped ever closer to Moscow. By the time 2014 rolled around, the West was going after Ukraine, right on Russia’s border. Missiles launched from there would be only five minutes from Moscow and about seven from Russia’s nuclear arsenal. This was the mirror image of the Cuban Missile Crisis. Of course, the presence of Russian missiles in Cuba was unacceptable to JFK. And now, similarly, American missiles minutes from Moscow is unacceptable to Putin. The Russians tried several times to achieve an agreement with NATO guaranteeing Ukraine would not join the alliance. They offered these terms while the Ukrainian government, now controlled by the West, continued to fire artillery and mortars at the Russian-speaking provinces in that country. Those attacks, conducted since the overthrow of the Ukrainian government by the West, had resulted in about 13,000 mostly-civilian casualties. In the event, Washington refused to negotiate and told Zelensky to hold firm. That’s when Putin ordered the Special Military Operation into action. The war began. This entire crisis is about NATO expansion and taking down Russia.
