Merkel Whores For Washington

Washington, enabled by its compliant but stupid NATO
puppets, is pushing the Ukrainian situation closer to war.
German Chancellor Merkel has failed her country, Europe,
and world peace. Germany is the strength of the EU and NATO.
Had Merkel said “No” to sanctions on Russia, that would have
been the end of the crisis that Washington is brewing, a crisis
unlikely to be ended short of war.
But Merkel has signed away the sovereignty of the German
nation and assigned the fate of Germany to a province in
the American Empire. Thus has Merkel and the weak
German leadership consigned the world to war. Already
blamed for World War 1 and World War 2, now Germany
will be blamed for World War 3.

But Merkel has signed away the sovereignty of the German

German leadership consigned the world to war. Already

Washington’s mismanaged Ukrainian coup has cost
Washington Crimea, which Washington wanted most of
all in order to deprive Russia of its warm water naval base
on the Black Sea. In addition, the mismanaged overthrow
of an elected government in Ukraine is threatening to also
lose the Russian cities of eastern Ukraine. Like Crimea,
eastern Ukraine is more Russian than Ukrainian.
In what is clearly a fruitless and pointless effort to
get Crimea back, Washington is demanding that Russia
interfere in Crimea and prevent Crimea from seceding from
Ukraine. If the Russian government refuses to follow
Washington’s orders, Washington has announced that it
will inflict “damaging sanctions” on Russia. Initially, EU
countries expressed an unwillingness to go along with
Washington, but with bribes and threats, Washington has
conquered Merkel and has its European puppets lined up
following orders.
Washington understands that economic sanctions are a far
less threat to Russia than the loss of its Black Sea naval base.
Washington also understands that Putin cannot possibly
abandon the millions of Russians in eastern and southern
Ukraine to the mercy of the anti-Russian and unelected
government imposed by Washington in Kiev. As Washington
knows that its threat of sanctions is empty, why did
Washington make it?
The answer is in order to drive the crisis to war. Washington’s
neoconservative nazis have been agitating for war with Russia
for a long time. They want to remove one of the three remaining
restraints (Russia, China, Iran) on Washington’s world hegemony.
Washington wants to break up the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India,
China, South Africa) before these countries form a separate
currency bloc and avoid the use of the US dollar.
Russia will respond in kind to Washington’s sanctions.
Russia will respond in kind to Washington’s sanctions.
European peoples and Western banks and corporations
will suffer losses. It would be at least two or three years
before Washington has in place means of delivering US
natural gas achieved by fracking and contamination of US
water supplies to Europe to take the place of Russia’s cutoff
of energy to Europe.
The Western presstitute media will dramatize the Russian
response to sanctions and demonize Russia, while ignoring
who started the fight, thereby helping Washington prepare
Americans for war. As neither side can afford to lose the
war, nuclear weapons will be used. There will be no winners.
All of this is perfectly clear, just as was the obvious
conclusion of the march of events leading up to World
War 1. Now, like then, the people who see the outcome
are powerless to stop it. Delusion rules. Arrogance and
hubris overflow. Statements and actions become ever more
reckless, and then there is hell to pay.
Americans and Europeans, if they had any awareness at all,
would be in the streets violently protesting the coming war
toward which the insane criminals in Washington are driving
the world.
Instead, the German chancellor, the French president, the
British prime minister and the Western presstitute media
continue to lie: It was legitimate for the West to steal
Kosovo from Serbia and to steal the Ukrainian government,
but it is not legitimate for the Russian population of Crimea
to exercise self-determination and return to Russia.
Washington and its EU puppets even have the audacity to
declare falsely, after overthrowing an elected government
in Ukraine and installing an unelected one, that Crimean
self-determination violates the Ukrainian constitution,
which no longer exists because Washington destroyed it.
The criminally insane government in Washington has pushed
The criminally insane government in Washington has pushed
the Russian bear into a corner. The bear is not going to surrender.
