War With Russia Looms, Says Former NATO General in New Book
By Alexander Nazaryan On 8/1/16 at 4:03 PM
The first female president of the United States faces her first major international conflict: Seeking to consolidate the Slavic nations of Eastern Europe, Russia has seized the three Baltic states—Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia—all members of NATO. That requires a response beyond just a caustic tweet or sharply worded press release. For the first time since the Cuban missile crisis, there is serious talk of nuclear war.
[COMMENT: Shameless US-Anglo capitalist establishment warmonger Russophobe propaganda.
The laughable reference to the 'first female president' is reference to just another Wall Street puppet, irrespective of the sex organs of the puppet; much like the first black puppet neocon-exploited-PR-appointment Wall Street owned president, with the weekly CIA 'kill list' and the joke Nobel Public Opinion Manipulation 'Peace Prize' pretzel.
Russia is not the aggressor in Eastern Europe. The aggressor is, in fact, the US-Anglo capitalist empire and the Baltic states mentioned are vassals of the US-Anglo capitalist empire, thanks to their stupid neocon Washington puppet capitalist serving elites, who happen to be destroying their own countries: (1) subordinating the interests of their individual nations to the interests of US-Anglo capitalism; (2) courting nuclear incident with Russia and (3) filling their indigenous European nations with third world hordes, either displaced by US-Anglo capitalist military interventions across the globe or just looking for a better standard of living than in third world sh*tholes, exploited by capitalist and by corrupt third world leaders, while the population growth in those regions has exploded over decades of redirecting Western taxpayer resources to third world aid and economic enslavement.
The fantasy propaganda piece by British ex-NATO capitalist mercenary commander refers to 'nuclear war'; but if there is a nuclear incident, it will be because of the US-Anglo capitalist mercenary aggressor's threat to Russian national security, planted on Russia's doorstep. ]
This is the basis of 2017 War with Russia, the unsettling new book by General Sir Richard Shirreff, who retired in 2014 as NATO’s deputy supreme commander of Europe, as well as its highest-ranking British officer. Although 2017 is technically a novel, this “future history” is really just a war game on the printed page, its preoccupations much closer to those of von Clausewitz and Churchill than those of Woolf or Wordsworth. Shirreff’s book is subtitled “An urgent warning from senior military command,” and he makes plain in his introduction that the novel’s primary intention is to convey the urgency of containing Russian President Vladimir Putin. He likens today’s Mother Russia to Germany in the late 1930s, when it seized the Sudetenland in brazen contravention of established borders. War-weary Europe let the matter slide, hoping that talk of a Thousand Year Reich was just bluster.
[COMMENT: what a stupid c*cksucker this d*ckhead is. Does he actually think anyone is dumb enough to fall for this 'contain Putin' US-Anglo capitalist serving shite? The only 'Nazis' are the US-Anglo capitalist elites and their sponsored politicians and mouthpieces, the assh*les. The same US-Anglo capitalists destroyed Europe in their WWII capitalist war on Europe. Look what they have done to indigenous Europe since: they are the enemies of all Europeans. ]
“I’m worried, very worried, that we’re sleepwalking into something absolutely catastrophic,” Shirreff tells me, speaking on a Friday evening from his home in Hampshire, in the bucolic country outside of London. A graduate of Oxford who served in the British army, with deployments in the Middle East and the Balkans, he is not a natural writer, so the judgment of the Financial Times—that this is a “literary disaster”—is not as stinging as it might otherwise be, since that same review praised Shirreff’s grim geopolitical vision as one of “profound importance.” 2017 is an unabashedly didactic work, a real-life warning with the bold-faced names changed.
[COMMENT: this US-Anglo capitalist filth had no right to interfere in the Balkans. Russia is just another Balkans for the US-Anglo capitalist scum, and they're not 'sleepwalking' into anything: they are deliberately provoking a military incident with Russia, so that they can drag Russia into war and destroy Russia, like they have destroyed the Balkans and the Middle East, while destroying indigenous Europe. ]
The novel opens with the Russians staging an attack on a school in Donetsk, the breakaway region of the Ukraine controlled by pro-Kremlin separatists since 2014. Close to 100 children are killed, and Ukrainian forces are blamed, thus giving the Russians the perfect pretext for further aggression. Russia used a similar ploy—the bombing of several apartment buildings in Moscow in 1999—to begin the first Chechen War. But let’s not give Putin too much credit: He likely learned the tactic from Hitler, who was probably behind the Reichstag fire of 1933, which allowed the Nazis to eliminate political opponents before moving on to more grandiose aims.
[COMMENT: this is so perverse. The CIA puppet Ukraine is responsible for killing children and other civilians in east Ukraine, while NATO has a long history of war crimes and child murder.

There is a “Special Place in Hell” for Clinton Operative Albright
The 17th anniversary of Bill Clinton's illegal bombing of Yugoslavia
Kurt Nimmo | Infowars.com - March 27, 2016
Back in February, the former Secretary of State under Bill Clinton said “there’s a special place in hell” for women who do not vote for Hillary Clinton. Madeleine Albright made the remark during a campaign stop in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Last Thursday marked the 17th anniversary of NATO’s illegal bombing of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia during Bill Clinton’s reign. The attack—38,400 sorties, including 10,484 strike sorties—lasted 78 days and destroyed infrastructure, commercial buildings, schools, health institutions, media houses and cultural monuments.
NATO “deeply” regretted killing at least seventeen people when a bomb hit a bus packed with women and children. It also supposedly regretted killing fifteen people after it targeted a hospital with a cluster bomb and killed three diplomats at China’s embassy in Belgrade. After Serbian television criticized Albright and Clinton, it was bombed as well, killing sixteen people.
Democrat Bernie Sanders “begrudgingly” voted to attack Yugoslavia. “If anyone thinks there is a simple solution to this problem, then you know very little about this problem,” he said recently in defense of his decision.
“The [1999] bombing war violates and shreds the basic provisions of the United Nations Charter and other conventions and treaties; the attack on Yugoslavia constitutes the most brazen international aggression since the Nazis attacked Poland to prevent ‘Polish atrocities’ against Germans,” writes William Rockler, former prosecutor of the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal. [Comment: this was a kangaroo court. ]
In 2013 Albright admitted the bombing was illegal. “When you ask if that is legal—honestly, to go back to Kosovo, system kind of said that what we did there was not legal, but was fair,” she said.
Albright is known for her enthusiastic support of mass murder and war crimes. Asked about economic sanctions imposed on Iraq that led to the death of more than 500,000 Iraqi children, Albright said in 1996: “I think that is a very hard choice, but the price, we think, the price is worth it.”
Clinton, like Albright, supports mass murder as a foreign policy tool. In October 2000, The New York Times reported Clinton “cited American involvement in Bosnia and Kosovo as examples of foreign engagements she favored on moral and strategic grounds.” Clinton urged her husband to bomb Yugoslavia without congressional approval and said what “do we have NATO for if not to defend our way of life?”
In 2008 she defended her vote to invade Iraq and kill 1.5 million people. She accused the late Tim Russert of getting all “Jesuitical” when he pointed out her support for Bush’s “Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002.”
Now that she is running for president Clinton tells her supporters she “made a mistake, plain and simple” when she voted to kill.

F*ck you, General Sir Richard Shirreff, you filthy propagandist dog.
F*cking US-Anglo capitalist filth is forever backing crazy religious extremist militia murderers across the globe, and backed the Chechen Islamic terrorists. It is therefore the US-Anglo capitalist filth that is responsible for the spread of Medieval religious and political terrorism across the globe. Fancy dragging Adolf Hitler into this in an attempt to smear the president of Russia, when the US-Anglo empire is responsible for more destruction, murder and war crimes across this planet during the imperialist exploitation of numerous foreign peoples, and during Chinese Opium Wars, the Boer War, during WWI, during WWII, and for decades since WWII, than the Third Reich German targets of global capitalism who were subject to US-Anglo capitalist brutal and criminal torture-confessions, disposed of in the multiples of thousands by starvation on the banks of the Rhine, and otherwise sent into slavery by the capitalists, who occupied and continue to occupy the defeated German state; US-Anglo capitalists who presided over the starvation, 'de-Nazification' and rape of Germans, and US-Anglo capitalists who have enslaved the German people whose heritage has since been assigned to invaders. But it's Hitler that's the 'bad guy', say the capitalist war criminals. Eyeroll. ]

War With Russia Looms, Says Former NATO General in New Book
By Alexander Nazaryan On 8/1/16 at 4:03 PM
....
CONTINUED
The Ukrainian operation is only the start. Putin—his identity is very lightly disguised by Shirreff, as is that of Hillary Clinton, though he says she wasn’t necessarily his model for the American president—has his eyes on the Baltics, which Russia has long regarded as its birthright. The Kremlin is bolstered by a conviction that Western Europe and the United States will do anything to avoid the use of force. “The West may have great economic capability, but they think only of social welfare,” one Kremlin adviser says in 2017. “They have forgotten to stand up for themselves.”
[COMMENT: what was the illegal Iraq War? Oh, please, what a load of sh*t. As if the US-Anglo and associated capitalists and their NATO mercenary force are shy of using lethal (and illegal force), and it's this same capitalist aggressor scum that has trained long-range missiles on Russia, from Russia's borderlands. What kind of d*ckhead would put his name to this ludicrous propaganda? ]
When I spoke to Shirreff, he lamented the ease with which Russia invaded both Georgia (2008) and the Ukraine (2014). “That was a slick, very professionally executed operation,” he says of the conquest of Crimea, one that Putin may well try to replicate in the Baltics, given how little genuine resistance he encountered from the West two years ago. “Russia despises weakness and respects strength,” Shirreff tells me. It’s no accident that, every few months, the nation goes agog over images of Putin, stolid and shirtless, wrestling a bear or cuddling with a Siberian tiger.
[COMMENT: Shirreff doesn't know what he's talking about, or he pretends not to know, for the sake of disseminating warmongering propaganda against the Russians. Russia did not invade Ukraine. The invasion of Ukraine is by US-Anglo capitalism that executed the CIA coup in Ukraine.
Looks like Shirreff is taking a leaf out of the Israeli military doctrine, contending that "Russia despises weakness ..."; in an Israeli-styled ideological and propaganda move, laying the groundwork for 'justification' of the use of highly aggressive military force (be it pre-emptive or disproportionately aggressive, as a military doctrine).
Yes, let's train missiles on Russia, because social media has taken a liking to splicing images of Putin on a bear ... what a d*ckhead, Shirreff is. ]
Until a few weeks ago, most American readers of 2017 would not have thought twice about the preface by James Stavridis, the now-retired American admiral who served as the NATO Supreme Commander of Europe. But in July, media outlets reported that Stavridis was being seriously considered by Clinton as her vice presidential candidate. If he is to serve as an advisory role in her presidency, his view of Russia would be useful. And as presented here, that view is utterly unambiguous: “Of all the challenges America faces on the geopolitical scene in the second decade of the 21st century, the most dangerous is the resurgence of Russia under President Putin.” When Mitt Romney said as much during his 2012 presidential bid, he was mocked for stoking anachronistic Cold War fears. “The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back,” President Obama said glibly of Romney’s warning.
[Comment: who gives a rat's what that Wall Street PR appointment is mouthing off, with a Wall Street hand up his capitalist-serving ass. This Wall Street serving rat, and the interests he represents, is a danger to all Europeans. The danger here is capitalist aggressors Washington, London and Brussels. ]
But the 1980s actually saw the rise of nuclear disarmament, as well as a broader thawing of Russo-American relations. This moment, the one we live in, feels closer to the 1960s, with American missile defense shields rising in the former Soviet bloc countries of Romania and Poland, as well as military exercises that seem like preparations for the real deal. Annoyed by such exercises in Eastern Europe conducted by NATO, a Kremlin senior official put the matter as bluntly as one of Shirreff’s characters: “If NATO initiates an encroachment—against a nuclear power like ourselves—it will be punished.” This kind of bluster could easily have come from the Kremlin of Khrushchev, as both sides prepared for mutual assured destruction.
[COMMENT: why is stating the obvious consequence of threatening Russia's national security 'bluster' or likened to the Shirreff novel propaganda, Newsweek?
US-Anglo capitalist mercenary NATO is hardly preparing for 'mutual assured destruction', as Washington is probably quite safe, being situated well away, across the Atlantic.
US-Anglo capitalist NATO is preparing for destruction of Russia and I hope the Russians nuke Europe off the f*cking face of the Earth if there is an incident, so that there is nothing capable of growing on European soil for the next 1000 years of radiation emanating from a nuclear wasted crater in what once was indigenous Europe. That's how I would be handling any threat to Russia (and/or indigenous Europe). ]
I spoke to Shirreff just days after hackers universally believed to be associated with the Kremlin broke into the servers of the Democratic National Committee, a breach the director of national intelligence called “a version of war” (though he also tried to temper suggestions that Russia was at fault). Donald Trump openly encouraged further such incursions, as long they helped his quest for the White House.
[COMMENT: more propaganda. The hackers are not 'universally believed to be associated with the Kremlin"; that is just the propaganda from the US-Anglo capitalist authorities and capitalist-controlled corporate media. ]
When I first spoke with Shirreff, he declined to comment on Trump’s overtures to the Kremlin, but by the next morning, he’d changed his mind and sent me an email that said, in part: “What could suit Putin better than to embarrass the Democrats and so propel into the White House a candidate who has undermined NATO’s doctrine of collective defence by raising questions over America’s willingness to support an ally if attacked?” He was referring to Trump’s suggestion that the United States would not come to the aid of NATO allies who hadn’t made the requisite defense expenditures.
[COMMENT: LMAO. Now Trump the capitalist and the poster-boy of American capitalism is in league with the Kremlin? LOL, sure he is.
Face facts: nobody white and sane wants the Democrats and their program of destruction of white America, which is at a critical point and on the verge of going under at a purported 62% white demographic (probably much less, in reality).
The bet is the American public also doesn't want the costs of endless neocon wars in the Middle East, the enormous costs of bearing US capitalist mercenary NATO forces stationed around the world, or being lumbered with paying the price for American capitalist serving 'free' trade agreements, that don't serve ordinary American interests.
Note also that Trump is merely referring to those nations that do not come up with the requisite military finances. ]
It is far more likely, according to most projections, that the next president will be Clinton, a longtime foe of Putin who has shown a willingness to use American force abroad. Shirreff believes that nuclear war with Russia is a possibility: Kaliningrad, a region of Russia that borders the Baltic States, now serves as a growing repository for both conventional and nuclear weapons, including Iskander missile systems that have nuclear capability and a range of 300 miles. These could be fired at the West—and will be, if Putin finds Russia’s borders with Europe threatened. Of course, if he invades the Baltics, such a counterattack would be required by the “collective defense” doctrine of the North Atlantic Treaty, known as Article 5. “If NATO goes to war with Russia,” Shirreff says, “that means nuclear war.”
[COMMENT: once again, if there is a nuclear event, it will be because US-Anglo capitalist mercenaries, NATO, are encroaching on Russia's borders and threatening Russian national security. Please nuke them, Russia. ]
His solution is paradoxical: a show of strength and unity by NATO that would discourage any offensive moves on Russia’s part, so that NATO’s strength would never be tested. In other words, frighten Russia into acceptable, rational-actor behavior. Shirreff adds that Trump is “absolutely right” about many European nations failing to meet their financial obligations to NATO, even if the failed casino magnate couched his criticism in undue threats about abandoning treaty commitments. “Europe needs to step up to the mark,” Shirreff says.
He also says the West needs to commit once more to a dialogue with Russia. That’s made harder by the fact that Russia is always sensitive to lectures from the West, resentful about perceived condescension from Europe and the U.S. Still, stony silence is unlikely to bring a resolution. “Communication” is what Shirreff hopes for, not war. “But it’s gotta be backed up by strength.”
[COMMENT: If I were Russian, and if I had nukes, I'd simply send all these capitalist oppressor assh*les nukes in a surprise suicide attack. Death would be worth winning. ]
