When, at a joint press conference in early December, 1989, the leaders of the two most
powerful nations announced the Cold War end, the world breathed a collective sigh of relief.
But while ordinary Russians & Americans cheered, a small, powerful group saw things differently.
Buoyed by then President Bush's giddy claim that instead of two leaders agreeing to end the conflict,
"...America won the cold war", they began plotting then & there to destroy their old Cold War enemy!
Following the break up of the Soviet Empire two years later, every US President now vies
to outdo his predecessor in reneging on promises made by the West to assure Russia's security.
Beginning with Clinton, who solicited several former Soviet republics to become NATO members,
blatantly violating the West's solemn guarantee that NATO would "not expand one inch to the East",
through to Bush withdrawing from the Anti Ballistic Missile Treaty - restarting the nuclear arms race!
After a brief hiatus, when Obama intensified the War on Terror via drone assassinations,
while being careful to avoid direct confrontation with Russia, hostilities have again resumed.
Trump, severely weakened by a fake ongoing campaign of Russian collusion has been politically
boxed in to a confrontational stance vis-à-vis Russia, overriding his campaign promises of détente.
This has led to his recent withdrawal from the 30-yr old INF nuclear arms treaty - escalating tensions!

The wholly contrived War on Terror - a war fabricated by intelligence agencies which,
in the absence of a major enemy they manufactured, via the staged attacks of 9/11 & 7/7
and the fostering and support of the Al Qaeda & ISIS terror bogeymen, is slowly winding down.
But, while the US-led Western alliance were all wasting resources on an epic military boondoggle,
the big Eastern powers were quietly amassing advanced military weaponry, led by a resurgent Russia!
This first manifested with Russia's military intervention in Syria on September 30, 2015.
Realizing that its sole Mediterranean port was in danger it took action, surprising the West.
Having had things all their way in Afghanistan, Iraq, & Libya, Western powers were flummoxed
by the presence of a nuclear power in their war theater. Aided by resolute Syrian & Iranian forces
they have managed a turnabout- one that will lead ultimately to full restoration, including the Golan!
Not having a military background and being somewhat in awe of security agencies
has left Trump vulnerable to tricks of the trade, as we saw with the Syria missile strikes.
Unless he has become more street savvy to their staged events, they will likely be emboldened
to engineer a lose-lose situation that forces his hand into direct military confrontation with Russia.
If he backs off- like JFK in the Bay of Pigs, he will be viewed as weak and in danger of assassination!
Like an aging heavyweight champion whose time has past but is the last one to realize it,
Uncle Sam continues to throw his weight around, still able to instill fear into lesser opponents
even as key competitors have now developed an arsenal capable of delivering a knockout punch.
While his leader now whistles a tune about making Sam great again, one remembers the self-styled
'greatest of all time' back in 1980, taking one fight too many was TKO'd by a former sparring partner!
Despite the findings of the Mueller report, the Deep State has managed to box Trump in -
preventing rapprochement with Russia, but in doing so it has also painted itself into a corner.
An escalation in any of the key flashpoints - Syria, Iran, Ukraine, can quickly spiral out of control,
leading to a conflict that may finally reveal an aging champion's weak defenses to a world audience.
As difficult as the result is to predict Venezuela may be the Empire's last hope to actually win a fight!
Politics in America continues to be bait & switch - remember compassionate conservative
candidate Bush and change you can believe in candidate Obama - neither delivered as advertised.
Yesterday candidate Trump promised to drain the swamp, today he's surrounded by swamp creatures!
Question is, has Trump made a deal with
And, is that the reason for swamp denizens like Bolton, Pompeo & Abrams now calling the shots?
If so, they'll survive until November, 2020... if Trump has been turned, they'll still be around in 2021!
An inexorable shift in power is underway from West to East and the West is powerless to stop it.
Historically empires (and aging champions) in decline react with denial & hubris, leading to defeat.
Does Trump have the resolve to resist the forces lurching to disaster - Kennedy did but paid the price!
The war neurosis afflicting America (in overdrive since 9/11) is due in no small part to infiltration
by a foreign power (no, not Russia) which neither congressmen, senators, nor presidents dare cross.
Americans continue to have a blind spot for this foreign entanglement which will bring them to ruin!
So long as the Deep State rules and America remains under the hypnotic spell of a foreign power,
its current state of war hysteria (neurosis) will go on, leading to disaster and ultimately destruction.
Barring a complete turnabout, chances are high of this occurring well before the coming decade ends!

Israel Demands New War: War With Iran is the War to Deliberately Destroy America
Insider Says Israel Poised to Stage False Flag Attack Against U.S. Targets to Start War with Iran
American Scholars Say Real Threat To U.S. Is Russophobia
CrossTalk: 'Management of Savagery'
War is coming in Syria. The decision has been made, the targets are outlined. Syria has had enough. The fake color revolution has done more than fail, it has united Syrians in rage, their homes destroyed, their factories looted, their heritage peddled in auction houses in London and New York and now over 2 million Syrian refugees held hostage by the United States.
War is coming.
Israel’s bombing campaign won’t stop it. The targets across Israel have been outlined, the ammonia warehouses in Haifa, the “Valley of Technology” and Israel’s military industries. All will be gone in the first salvo with 200 Iskander M missiles easily evading the “Iron Dome” whose command centers will fall in a prelude.
Sources in Syria say hundreds of launchers, protected by BUK, PantirS and S300 defenses are out of Israel’s reach. Syrian scientists, many with years of experience in Russia’s most advanced missile development programs, may well have created even more surprises.
Netanyahu has kept this from his people. Thousands of Israelis will die in the first minutes. Israel’s nuclear capability is useless, Russia has long informed them that this is a “red line.”
Syria expects to be hit, mass bombing, Israel has plenty of practice bombing civilians. Syria is prepared for death, they have had 8 years of death at the hands of the Takfiris and their American and Israeli “prostitutes” as Dr. Bassam Barakat, a Russian trained physician living in Damascus states clearly.
“The Americans have experience, in Lebanon in the 1980s, in Iraq. When the convoys of coffins begin to go to Washington as happened during the American occupation of Iraq, America will learn the price of its backing of Israel’s attacks on Syria.With the spring of 2019, lines are forming in Damascus, no heat, no fuel for vehicles, intermittent electricity, many foods unavailable, a nation seemingly on its knees due to American and Israeli efforts to starve the people of Syria.
The rules of the game and the rules of engagement with Syria have changed.
What will happen is clear, that unless Israel begins immediate diplomatic moves to quell the fires it has ignited across Syria, a war the likes of which Israel has not imagined will descend on the Israeli people who have been lied to by their leaders.
Israel is vulnerable.
That war may destroy us all, but the Syrian people will survive. However, we seriously doubt that Israel can say the same thing. A storm is coming.”
The United States is occupying 35% of Syria and has given that land to Kurdish separatists for them to share with remaining ISIS units that have been largely ignored by the US and its “coalition” allies in now almost 4 years of phony war.
The ethnically Arab lands given to the Kurdish rebels is the breadbasket of the Middle East along with rich oil and gas fields. Similarly, Idlib province, occupied exclusively by al Qaeda under US guidance, is receiving daily arms convoys of new American weapons.
In Southern Syria, the US has set up a training facility adjacent to Rukban, the vast refugee camp where America blocks international observers and also blocks aid convoys. The US is afraid its recruiting and training efforts might well be exposed, efforts that go on daily with endless weapons and supplies while children, only a few short yards away starve at the rate of nearly a dozen a day.
Syria is being forced to go to war and Trump’s move to give Golan to Israel has made war a certainty. The only question is when and the answer is also unexpected, sooner than anyone might guess.
We know this, Syria has asked Russia to inform the US that Syria expects the US to withdraw from all territories East of the Euphrates.
Syria has also informed Russia that American air power will no longer be allowed to operate inside Syria and that all agreements that may have held during the war on ISIS are over. This means that American aircraft may be fired on.
Syria has demanded the immediate withdrawal of all non-Syria military forces from the governates of Deir al’Zour, Raqqa and Hasaka, for the ISIS training facilities to be closed, for the mercenaries to be sent home, the poison gas production facilities to be closed and the command centers with their Saudi, Qatari and Israeli advisors to empty.
One might ask why the strong talk from a nation that is supposed to be on its knees? Let’s look at the record.
America is now negotiating with the Taliban, leaving Afghanistan with its tail between its legs as it had Vietnam some 5 decades ago.
The situation in Iraq is worse, some 5 thousand Americans still think they are occupying that nation while rage is stirring there also. Iraq knows it was nearly destroyed by the Takfiris with full complicity of Washington and Tel Aviv, a quarter of a million Iraqis dead and millions lived in brutal slavery for years.
Tens of billions in Iraqi oil was stolen while the profits lined American pockets.
It isn’t hard for the world to see what America is about. America is falling apart, 60% of its revenue goes to a military long tired of war, long tired of losing, a military that protects nothing and threatens everything.
When the war comes, and war is coming, it will come in Iraq, it will come in Iran, and American forces around the world will be seen as the people of Syria and Iraq see them, as parasites.
The language here is the language of anger, much of it translated from Arabic. Israel and America will ignore it.
Seldom has anything been as clear as the situation inside Syria. It cannot be said enough, “8 years of war,” and it needs to be said over and over, ethnic cleansing, gas attacks, mass kidnappings, institutionalized rape, theft on an unimagined scale.
The enemy, and this was never a civil war, it was something unique, the enemy was and is world organized crime as I pointed out in Damascus on that morning in December 2014. A bill is due and the nations that allowed themselves to submit to criminal rule will learn lessons a thousand times worse than 9/11.
