F. Kennedy didn\u2019t consider Nikita Khrushchev\u2019s plan to base nuclear missiles in Cuba to be \u2018defensive\u2019 on the USSR\u2019s part \u2014 and neither does Russia\u2019s President Vladimir Putin consider America\u2019s far bigger operation of surrounding Russia with such weapons to be \u2018defensive\u2019.\u00a0 The U.S. government, and NATO, act as if Russia is threatening them rather than them threatening and encircling Russia \u2014 and their news media transmit this lie as if it were a truth and one worthy of being taken seriously.\u00a0 In actual fact, NATO has already expanded right up to Russia\u2019s western borders.<\/p>\n<p>Obama is thus now adding to the economic sanctions against Russia that he had imposed\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/featured\/npr-propagandizes-putin-regime-change-russia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">because of Russia\u2019s alleged \u2018seizure\u2019 of Crimea<\/a>\u00a0from Ukraine after the US and EU engineered\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8-RyOaFwcEw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">coup<\/a>\u00a0overthrew Russia\u2019s ally Viktor Yanukovych who had led Ukraine until the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/breaking-news\/head-stratfor-private-cia-says-overthrow-yanukovych-blatant-coup-history\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">coup<\/a>\u00a0in February 2014.<\/p>\n<p>Even though Western-sponsored polls in Crimea, both before and after the coup, had shown\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/featured\/npr-propagandizes-putin-regime-change-russia\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">higher than 90% support by Crimeans for rejoining with Russia<\/a>, right after Crimeans voted overwhelmingly to rejoin Russia, Obama slapped sanctions against Russia. Nuclear weapons were prepared, both on the U.S.-EU side and on the Russian side, for a possible nuclear war.<\/p>\n<p>This is no mere restoration of the Cold War (which was supposedly based on the capitalist-communist ideological disagreement); it\u2019s getting forces into position for a possible invasion of Russia, pure-and-simple \u2014 raw conquest \u2014 though no major news-media in the West are reporting it as being such.<\/p>\n<p>The current preparation doesn\u2019t necessarily mean a nuclear war will result from them. Russia might accept whatever the demands \u2018the West\u2019 makes of it and thus lose its\u00a0 sovereignty.\u00a0 Alternatively, if Russia stands-its-ground and refuses to yield up its national sovereignty,\u2018the West\u2019 (the U.S.leadership, and the leaderships in its allied countries) could cease with its evermore-ominous threats and simply withdraw from Russia\u2019s borders.<\/p>\n<p>Basically, by 2013\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/obama-v-putin-their-debate-on-crimea-the-source-of-the-new-cold-war\/5479423?print=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the U.S. leadership had decided to take over Ukraine<\/a>\u00a0and refused to acknowledge\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2015\/08\/the-anti-crimean-pogrom-that-sparked-crimeas-breakaway.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the rights of the Crimean people to reject the new dispensation in Kiev and decide on its own future<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and, by late February 2014, Russia\u2019s leadership decided to<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2015\/08\/the-anti-crimean-pogrom-that-sparked-crimeas-breakaway.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">protect them<\/a>\u00a0against\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/breaking-news\/obama-definitely-caused-malaysian-airliner-downed\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the type of invasion<\/a>\u00a0that\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/breaking-news\/brookings-wants-villages-firebombed-ukraines-anti-terrorist-operation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">subsequently occurred in Ukraine\u2019s former Donbass region<\/a>, where the opposition to Obama\u2019s coup was even more intense.<\/p>\n<p>The West keeps asserting that Russia is\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalresearch.ca\/obama-v-putin-their-debate-on-crimea-the-source-of-the-new-cold-war\/5479423?print=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">somehow<\/a>\u00a0in the wrong here.\u00a0 However, since even the head of Stratfor has called what Obama did in Ukraine\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2014\/12\/head-stratfor-private-cia-says-overthrow-yanukovych-blatant-coup-history.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">\u201cthe most blatant coup in history\u201d<\/a>, and since the fact that it was a U.S. coup has been documented extensively\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8-RyOaFwcEw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">on cellphone and other videos<\/a>, and in\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.academia.edu\/8776021\/The_Snipers_Massacre_on_the_Maidan_in_Ukraine\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the most thorough academic investigation that has been performed of the matter<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.fort-russ.com\/2015\/02\/the-paet-ashton-transcript.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">was even acknowledged by Ukraine\u2019s Petro Poroshenko, a participant in the coup, to have been a coup<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and since evidence survives on the Internet of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2015\/02\/new-video-evidence-americas-coup-ukraine-means.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">the U.S. Embassy\u2019s preparations as early as 1 March 2013<\/a>\u00a0for the February 2014 coup;

the question still needs to be answered: What is the basis of the West\u2019s aggressive actions threatening Russia\u2019s national security other than its own imperialist ambitions towards Russia camouflaged with the lies about an aggressive Russia and an aggressive President Putin the Western mass media have been bombarding the public with?\u00a0 And, that\u2019s a very worrisome basis \u2014 worrisome regarding, essentially, a type of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/eric-zuesse\/jimmy-carter-is-correct-t_b_7922788.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">dictatorship<\/a>in the West, rather than any dictatorship outside it.\u00a0\u00a0 The aggression and the threat here seem clearly to be coming from the West, against the East.<\/p>\n<p>Back in January, Russian President Vladimir Putin had once again\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.strategic-culture.org\/news\/2016\/01\/23\/putin-calls-out-obama-on-big-lie.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">called out American President Barack Obama on Obama\u2019s big lie<\/a>\u00a0that America\u2019s \u201cABM\u201d weapons to disable in-flight nuclear missiles were being installed in Europe in order to protect Europe against Iranian nuclear missiles.\u00a0 Now, however, while the U.S. acknowledges that Iran doesn\u2019t have, and won\u2019t have, any nuclear missiles, Obama is stepping up (instead of ending) those same ABM installations in Europe, close to Russia\u2019s borders.\u00a0 The only real reason they have been installed, as Putin argues, is in order to enable a sudden nuclear attack against Russia capable of disabling Russia\u2019s retaliatory capacity in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The only rational response by the Western public to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2015\/02\/obamas-war-policies-show-pattern.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">what Obama and his foreign allies are doing<\/a>\u00a0is to recognize what is actually happening and to take action against their own leaders, before\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonsblog.com\/2014\/06\/indications-u-s-planning-nuclear-attack-russia.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">this increasingly high-stakes confrontation<\/a>\u00a0becomes terminal.\u00a0 In this instance, the people of the countries that comprise the political West need to defend themselves against their own national leaders. This is a situation that is frequently encountered in dictatorships.<\/p>\n<p>The key questions are not being asked in the Western press, however; they are being ignored by it.\u00a0 Unless these questions are publicly dealt with \u2014 and soon \u2014 the answer to them all could well be terminal for millions of civilians in Europe and elsewhere.<br \/>\nThe closer things get to a nuclear war, the more difficult it is for either side to back down from it \u2014 and this is especially the case with the aggressor, most especially when it falsely claims that it is being aggressed-against.<\/p>\n<p>This is the reason why the lies peddled by the political leadership of the West urgently need to be exposed.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2016\/04\/24\/is-obama-preparing-for-a-possible-war-against-russia\/\">http:\/\/off-guardian.org\/2016\/04\/24\/is-obama-preparing-for-a-possible-war-against-russia\/<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obama Requests Military Support for Possible War Against Russia<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36854","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36854"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36854\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
