Background
(1991-Present)
The fall of the Soviet Union marked the beginning of a highly
dangerous new phase of American aggression against a severely
weakened Russia.
For the
Rockefeller
Empire, it represented a golden opportunity to
destroy their former adversary, Russia, as a functioning agent.
If they could succeed in destroying Russia, they believed they
could eliminate the only remaining serious obstacle to what the
Pentagon called Full Spectrum Domination - total control of
land, sea, air, space, and cyberspace.
One Sole Superpower
could dictate to the entire world as it saw fit. This was the
mad dream of David, his family and allies.
The 1990s was a time of immense suffering for the Russian
people.
As the impending
collapse of the USSR became discernable, insiders created a
planning group to ensure the continued influence of Soviet-era
officials by transferring Russian state assets to offshore shell
companies and thus stripping the country's wealth.
One such offshore
company, FIMACO, was used to pilfer an estimated $50 billion
from the nation. It was through this looting that liquid capital
was generated and used by future oligarchs to build their
fortunes.
An early beneficiary
of this arrangement was Mikhail Khodorkovsky, who had started
his career as a minor Soviet official and whose Yukos oil
conglomerate was tied to FIMACO. And FIMACO was tied to Jacob
Rothschild, in London.
In 1991 the Soviet Union finally collapsed. That August, state
treasurer Nikolai Kruchina, responsible for Russia's gold
reserves, died by falling from his window.
He had been a member
of the planning group which originated the plot to steal state
assets.
His successor
Georgy Pavlov fell to his death from a window two months
later:
the oligarchs
were cleaning house.
In September, the
Russian central bank announced the Kremlin's gold reserves had
inexplicably dropped from the estimated 1000-1500 tons to a mere
240 tons.
Two months later,
Victor Gerashchenko announced Russia's gold reserves had
actually entirely vanished.
While the Russian
public was horrified at the revelation, European bankers were
less surprised. It was whispered frequently among those circles
that Soviet transport planes had been flying to and from
Switzerland for months and selling off large amounts of gold.
Boris Yeltsin announced his plans to privatize the nation's
assets and the real looting began.
During the privatization period, the networks of the 2 families
wasted no time in opportunistically swooping in to take over
Russian industries.
The Clinton
administration sought to redesign the economic policies of the
nascent Russian Federation according to the Washington
Consensus:
privatization,
deregulation, austerity, and the opening up of Russia's
companies to purchase by ultra-wealthy Americans.
Foreign investors
flocked in and the level of greed among this fifth column of new
Muscovites was truly astonishing.
Enter
Putin
Soon after taking office in 1999, Vladimir Putin, a
nationalist with a long career in Russian intelligence, faced
the daunting task of trying to undo, or at least limit, the
damage that the criminal cronies of Yeltsin and their
foreign partners had done to Russia.
Putin Kicks out
the Rothschilds
The criminality was not limited to foreign speculators.
During the early
period of privatization in the 90s,
the Rothschilds organized a
secret society of seven Russian oligarchs entirely
controlled Boris Yeltsin's administration.
This group called
itself Semibankirschina, named after the Seven Boyars
who controlled Russia during the 17th century.
The secret society
included the following oligarchs:
-
Boris
Berezovsky
-
Mikhail
Khodorkovsky
-
Mikhail
Fridman
-
Petr Aven
-
Vladimir
Gusinsky
-
Vladimir
Potanin
-
Alexander
Smolensky
They all worked for
the Rothschilds - or London - and more specifically, for Jacob
Rothschild.
In late 1999, Vladimir Putin became president of Russia
and the fortunes of these self-appointed rulers rapidly turned
for the worse.
A new group of Putin
insiders formed - the Slivoki (made up of Russian nationalists
from the security and business world) and began supplanting the
previous access that the Semibankirschina had to the president.
From a strong
position, Putin negotiated a "grand bargain" with the remaining
oligarchs: they retained most of their existing assets in return
for alignment with Putin's vertical rule of Russia.
The era of financial
gangsterism from the 1990s was over. In 2001, a state takeover
of media seized the television networks previously owned by the
Rothschild puppets.
It was with these
moves by Putin, from early March 2000, that led to a break up of
Rothschild control over Russia. These oligarchs all belonged to
Jacob Rothschild. And, they were stealing Russia blind.
David Rockefeller couldn't be bothered with such small takings.
Here, the key was to
bring Russia into the dollar world-this was more profitable for
his empire. In addition, a series of geopolitical confrontations
on Russia's borders served his empire greatly. The first such
was the Chechen wars of 1994, and 1999/2000.
This, Putin ended,
quickly and ruthlessly.
The military occupation of Iraq was the first major step in this
American strategy to move oil into the oil companies of the 2
families.
Then, Russian
investments in Iraq were lost after the US invasion in March
2003. In addition, following the Afghanistan invasion in October
2001, the Pentagon began spreading its presence in Central Asia-
to the discomfort of both Russia and China.
For obvious military
and political reasons, Washington could not admit openly that
since the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, its strategic goal
had been to dis-member or de-construct Russia, thereby gaining
effective control over its huge oil and gas reserves.
These two wars were but the opening shots of a series of
geopolitical oil and energy "pipeline wars" - undeclared wars,
but wars in every sense of the word. They were wars, overt and
covert, spanning Eurasia, the Middle East and Africa.
The energy wars were
fought with bombs, with terror tactics, and with drones. They
also fought with sophisticated new methods of political
destabilization of uncooperative regimes through what were
called Color Revolutions.
The goal was simple:
Rockefeller control through the Pentagon and the CIA of all
significant oil and gas deposits PLUS pipelines to transport
this in order to be able to control the emerging Eurasian
economic colossus, especially China and Russia (and later
India).
The goal would be
achieved by any means necessary.
The NATO encirclement
of Russia, the Color Revolutions across Eurasia, and the war in
Iraq, were all aspects of one and the same American geopolitical
strategy:
a grand strategy
to de-construct Russia once and for all as a potential rival
to a sole US Superpower hegemony.
The end of the
Yeltsin era put a slight crimp in Washington's grand plans.
Following the Wall
Street-City of London guided looting of Russia by networks of
the 2 families, a shrewder and more sober Putin cautiously
emerged as a dynamic nationalistic force, committed to
rebuilding Russia.
Putin
Breaks with the Rockefellers
A defining event in Russian energy geopolitics took place in
2003.
Just as Washington
had taken over Iraq, Putin ordered the spectacular arrest of
Russia's billionaire oligarch, Mikhail Khordokovsk - or
MK, on charges of tax evasion.
Putin then froze
shares of Khordokovsky's giant Yukos Oil group, putting
it under state control. What had triggered Putin's dramatic
action?
MK was working for Jacob Rothschild. He was a Rothschild front.
In March 2000, MK was present with all the other oligarch's
called to a meeting by Putin.
The oligarch's had
made a pledge to Putin - that if they stayed out of Russian
politics, and repatriated a share of their stolen money (in
effect, stolen from the state in rigged bidding under Yeltsin)
they would be allowed to keep their assets.
All of these
oligarchs were Rothschild fronts.
Most accepted, with
the exception of Rothschilds Jewish oligarchs. Putin went after
that, as they broke their pledge to him. And so did MK. He was
busy buying up the Duma - Russia's parliament- as a first step,
in a plan to run against Putin in 2004.
In the meantime Mikhail Khodorkovsky' was negotiating with 2
Rockefeller oil companies, Exxon and Chevron, to sell 40% of
Yukos Oil (for the sum of $25 billion).
Had this deal gone
through, Russia's economic and financial independence would be
over.
This 40% stake would
have given Washington, the US oil giants, and the Rockefeller
family a de facto veto power over future Russian oil and gas
deals and pipelines. At the time of his arrest, Yukos had just
begun steps to acquire Sibneft, a very large Russian oil
company.
The combined
Yukos-Sibneft enterprise, with 20 billion barrels of oil and
gas, would then have owned the second-largest oil and gas
reserves in the world - in private hands, and not state-owned.
The Exxon buy-up of
Yukos-Sibneft would have been a literal energy coup-d'état.
David Rockefeller and Jacob Rothschild knew it. So did the White
House.
MK knew it. Above
all, Vladimir Putin knew it, and moved decisively to block it.
Putin moved against
him in October 2003, and arrested him.
It was during the purge of oligarchs and vulture capitalists
that the true power behind Mikhail Khodorkovsky emerged.
When it became likely
he would be arrested, he arranged to have all his shares from
the Yukos Oil Company transferred to the ownership of
Jacob Rothschild.
The transfer took
place in November of 2003, giving Jacob Rothschild a 40-45%
control of Yukos, estimated to be worth $25 billion.
Putin subsequently
liquidated and nationalized Yukos by seizing and selling off its
shares to state oil companies. Putin restored to Russia what was
stolen by Jacob Rothschild, once the richest man in the country,
Mikhail Khodorkovsky's fortunes turned for the worse.
In 2003, Khodorkovsky
was criminally prosecuted by Putin for tax evasion and fraud for
which he ended up serving 10 years in Jail, and was subsequently
exiled. When the rigged auction sales of state assets took place
in 1995/96, most of the companies got sold for as little as 5%
of its value.
And, Yukos got
"purchased" for less than $400 million, when its true worth was
far more than that.
So Putin has declared war on the most powerful families on the
planet. From this moment on, it would a fight between Putin and
the 2 families. Putin has survived many attempts on his life by
these 2 networks of power.
Ever since Putin
arrested Khordolovsky in 2003, the Kremlin had been putting the
engines of economic control into state hands once again.
One of Putin's first agenda items was to pay off all debt to the
IMF and holdover loans from the Soviet era, thus freeing itself
from Rothschild interference. This enabled Putin to reduce their
influence over Russia's destiny.
The events in Russia were soon followed by CIA - financed covert
destabilizations in Eurasia - the Color Revolutions against
governments on Russia's periphery.
Putin began to make a series of defensive moves to restore some
tenable form of equilibrium in the face of Washington's
increasingly obvious policy of encircling and weakening Russia.
Subsequent US
strategic blunders made the job a bit easier for Russia.
Now, with the stakes
rising on both sides - NATO and Russia - Putin's Russia moved
beyond simple defense to a new dynamic offensive aimed at
securing a more viable geopolitical position by using its energy
as the lever.
By 2003, after Iraq was occupied by US and British forces, the
most urgent priority for the US, was the control of Russian oil,
gas, and its associated pipelines.
For that to happen, a
coup in the tiny Republic of Georgia was deemed essential, as
well as a similar coup in Ukraine. If pro-US regimes could be
installed in both countries, not only would the military
security of Russia itself be mortally threatened, but also
Russia's ability to control the export of its oil and gas to the
EU would be severely hampered.
In January 2004, the Rose Revolution put into power Washington's
candidate for President of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili.
With their man firmly installed in Tblis i - BP and the Anglo
American oil consortium moved swiftly to complete a 1,800 km
pipeline from Baku via TYblisi to Ceyhan in Turkey's
Mediterranean, at a cost of some $3.6 billion.
With the construction
of this (BTC) pipeline, a major part in the weakening of
Russia's oil and energy independence appeared in place.
In November 2004, the CIA put their man into power in the
Ukraine.
This coup was dubbed
the Orange Revolution. Ukraine was of greater strategic
importance for Russia than Georgia. This was due the several oil
and gas pipelines transiting Ukraine to the EU. To cut these
pipelines at the Ukraine border would have dealt a severe
economic blow to Russia when she could ill afford such a loss.
With Poland already
in NATO, a NATO membership for Ukraine and Georgia would almost
completely encircle Russia with hostile neighbors, creating an
existential threat to the very survival of Russia itself.
Putin knew this, but
his options were limited. Washington knew what the stakes were,
and it was doing everything short of open war against a nuclear
opponent to push the agenda.
By 2005, the key oil companies of the two families (London) BP,
Shell, Total; New York (Exxon, Chevron) had gained control over
most of the oil of the Caspian Sea. The control of energy -
globally - by the big Four oil companies of the 2 families,
...was the
cornerstone of their global strategy.
It was clear within the Rockefeller family discussions, and in
Washington policy circles that in order to control those global
oil and gas flows, the US needed to project its military power
far more aggressive , to achieve a total military supremacy,
which was what Full Spectrum Dominance was all about.
The strategists of
Full Spectrum domination envisioned control of pretty much the
entire universe, including outer and inner-space, from the
galaxy, to the body, to the mind.
Now, you know the
sick, devious and cunning minds that brought about Covid, in
order to lock down the global economy - why? - in order to save
the Rockefeller Empires financial and banking systems.
Russian
Energy Geopolitics
In 2004, Russia was not a world-class power. In terms of energy,
it was a colossus.
In terms of landmass
it was still the largest nation in the world, spanning 11 time
zones. It had vast territory and natural resources, and the
world's largest reserves of natural gas, while its oil reserves
stood at 150 billion barrels, with the potential to increase
this figure greatly, as large parts of Russia are still not
explored.
Russia's state-owned natural gas pipeline network, the 'unified
transportation system', includes a vast network of pipelines and
compressor stations extending more than 400,000 kms across
Russia.
Just the modern
replacement cost of this, today, would be in the region of $1-2
trillion!
By law, only the
state-owned Gazprom was allowed to use the pipeline. This
network was perhaps the most valued Russian state asset other
than the oil and gas itself. Here was the heart of Putin's new
energy geopolitics.
Putin was using
Russia's energy trump card to build economic ties across Eurasia
from West to East, North to South. Washington was not at all
pleased.
Russia had never stopped being a powerful entity that produced
state-of-the-art military technologies.
While its army, navy
and air force were in a poor condition in 1990, the elements for
Russia's resurgence as a military powerhouse were still in
place. Russia had consistently fielded top-notch military
technology at various international trade shows , using the
world arms export market to keep its most vital military
technology base intact.
Weapons exports had
been one of the best ways for Russia to earn much needed hard
currency in the 1990s till now. The Russian nuclear arsenal also
played an important role , providing fundamental security for
the Russian state.
The Russian Central Bank had become the world's 3rd largest
dollar reserve holder behind China and Japan. In addition, it
was the only power on the face of the earth with the potential
military capabilities to match those of the US.
In 2005, in a speech
delivered in front of Russia's Federal Assembly, Russian
President Vladimir Putin said that the fall of the Soviet Union
was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe in Russia's history.
What he meant is that
the fragmentation of the Soviet Union would cost Russia the
element that had allowed it to survive foreign invasions since
the 18th century: strategic depth.
For a European country to defeat Russia decisively, it would
have to take Moscow. The distance to Moscow is great and would
wear down any advancing army, requiring reinforcements and
supplies to be moved to the front.
As they would advance
into Russia, the attackers' forces would be inevitably weakened.
Hitler and Napoleon reached Moscow exhausted. Both were beaten
by distance and winter, and by the fact that the defenders were
not at the end of their supply line.
At the height of the Cold War, St. Petersburg was about 1,600kms
from NATO forces, and Moscow about 2,100kms. Today, St.
Petersburg is about 150kms away and Moscow about 800kms.
For Putin, the
primary threat to Russia is from the west. It has always been
the goal of the Rockefellers to secure total economic and
political control over Russia. The British father of
geopolitics, Halford Mackinder, stated in 1904, that
control over Russia who determine who would control the vast
expanses of Eurasia, and by extension the entire world.
British foreign
policy, from 1904, was dedicated to preventing, at all costs,
the emergence of a cohesive Eurasian pivot power centered on
Russia and capable of challenging British hegemony.
Mackinder summed up his ideas with the following dictum:
-
Who rules
East Europe commands the Heartland
-
Who rules the
Heartland commands the World-Island
-
Who rules the
world- Island commands the world.
Mackinder's Heartland
was the core of Eurasia - Ukraine and Russia.
The World Island was
all of Eurasia, including Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
Britain was never a part of Continental Europe; it was a
separate naval and maritime power, and should remain so whatever
the cost.
The Mackinder geopolitical perspective shaped Britain's entry
into both World War 1 and 2. It shaped American involvement in
Europe from 1941.
The gradual re-emergence of a dynamic Russia in the Heartland of
Eurasia , one that was growing economically closer to China and
to key nations of Western Europe, was the very development that
Nezezinski had warned could mortally threaten American
dominance.
It was Halford
Mackinder's worst nightmare.
Ironically,
Washington's bingled invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq , and its
crude elaboration of its "war on Terror" had directly helped to
bring that Eurasian cooperation about.
One of Putin's
favorite sayings is,
"We must trade as
a single market, from Vladivostok to Rotterdam"
Both the families get
a heart attack when they hear Putin saying this. It also created
the backdrop for the Georgian conflict in August 2008.
But, first let's look Putin's speech at Munich - this changed
the contours and dynamics of international relations, from this
point on.
Putin's
2007 Munich Speech
At the 2007 annual Munich Security Conference, as the Bush
administration had announced plans to install US missile defense
systems in Poland, Romania and the Czech Republic, Russia's
Putin delivered a scathing critique of the US lies and violation
of their 1990 assurances on NATO.
By that time 10
former communist Eastern states had been admitted to NATO
despite the 1990 US promises.
Furthermore, both
Ukraine and Georgia were candidates to join NATO following
US-led Color Revolutions in both countries in 2003-4. Putin
rightly argued the US missiles were aimed at Russia, not North
Korea or Iran.
In his 2007 Munich remarks Putin told his Western audience,
"It turns out
that NATO has put its frontline forces on our borders, and
we have the right to ask: against whom is this expansion
intended?
And what happened
to the assurances our western partners made after the
dissolution of the Warsaw Pact? Where are those declarations
today? No one even remembers them."
Putin added,
"But I will allow
myself to remind this audience what was said. I would like
to quote the speech of NATO General Secretary Mr. Woerner in
Brussels on 17 May 1990."
He said at the time
that:
"the fact that we
are ready not to place a NATO army outside of German
territory gives the Soviet Union a firm security guarantee.
Where are these
guarantees?"
That was 15 years
ago.
Putin spoke in Munich in general terms about Washington's vision
of a "unipolar " world, with one center of authority, one center
of force, one center of decision making, calling it a,
"world in which
there is one master, one sovereign. And at the end of the
day this is pernicious not only for all those within the
system, but also for the sovereign itself because it
destroys itself from within."
Putin was talking
about the US.
Then Putin got to the
heart of the matter:
"Today we are
witnessing an almost uncontained hyper use of force -
military force- in international relations, force that is
plunging the world into an abyss of permanent conflicts.
Finding a
political solution becomes impossible.
The United States
has overstepped its national borders in every way. This is
visible in the economic, political, cultural and educational
policies it imposes on other nations. Well, who likes this?
Who is happy about this?
Putin warned about the destabilizing effects of space
weapons
"It is impossible to sanction the appearance of new,
destabilizing high-tech weapons... a new era of
confrontation, especially in outer space Star wars is no
longer a fantasy.
In Russia's
opinion, the militarization of outer space could have
unpredictable consequences for the world, and provoke
nothing less than the beginning of a nuclear era... plans to
expand certain elements of the anti-missile defense system
to Europe cannot help but disturb us.
Who needs the
next step of what would be, in this case, an inevitable arms
race."
Few people were aware
that the US, a month earlier, had announced that it was building
massive anti-missile defense installations in Poland and the
Czech Republic.
As Putin replies to
this at the same Munich Conference,
"Missile weapons
with a range of 5 to 8,000kms that really pose a threat to
Europe do not exist in any of the so-called problem
countries.
And any
hypothetical launch of a North Korean rocket to American
territory through Western Europe obviously contradicts the
laws of ballistics.
As we say in
Russia, it would be like using the right hand to reach the
left year."
Moscow
Reacts
Moscow lost little time in reacting to the announcement of US
plans for its ballistic missile defense (BMD) systems in Eastern
Europe.
The commander of
Russia's strategic bomber force said on March 5, 2007 that his
forces could easily disrupt or destroy any missile defense
infrastructures in Poland and the Czech Republic - precisely
where the US is preparing to install them.
In clear words, Putin
was responding to the escalating Washington provocations by
declaring openly that a New Cold War was on. It was not a new
Cold War initiated by Russia, but one where Russia, out of
national survival considerations, was forced to respond.
A new, nuclear-based
arms race was in full bloom.
This statement of Putin sent shock waves through the world,
especially the highest policy levels of the West. Putin was
declaring that - "enough is enough!"
From this moment on,
Putin knew that a military confrontation between Russia and the
West was only a matter of time.
Wasting no time, he
used his energy trump cards to beef up his military, and after
the 2008 crash, to beef up Russia's financial strength.
Nuclear
Primacy
What Washington did not say, but Putin alluded to in his speech,
was that the US missile defense was not at all defensive.
It was offensive. If
the US was able to shield itself effectively from a potential
Russian retaliation for a US nuclear First Strike, then the US
would be able to dictate its terms to the entire world, not just
to Russia. That would be Nuclear Primacy.
For the Rockefeller
Empire and its chief vassal, Washington, the Cold war never
ended. They just forgot to tell the rest of the world.
The US attempt to take control of oil and energy pipelines
worldwide, its installations of military bases across Eurasia,
its modernization and upgrades of nuclear submarine fleets and
bombers only made sense when seen through the perspective of the
relentless pursuit of US Nuclear primacy.
In December 2001,
Washington withdrew from the US-Russian Ballistic Missile
Treaty. This was a critical step in Washington's race to
complete its global network of 'missile defense' capability as
the key to nuclear primacy.
The US missile talks
with Poland and the Czech Republic began at the end of 2003. The
Pentagon found two sites in the mountains of southern Poland for
radar stations.
This site would be
the first such installation outside America and the only one in
Europe.
A missile fired from
these silos in Poland or the Czech Republic would be within
minutes of potential Russia targets. No one would be able to say
whether they contained nuclear warheads or not. That would put
the world on a hair-trigger to possible nuclear war, by design
or miscalculation.
Then, in the March
2006 Foreign Affairs, the journal of
the CFR, an article by two US
military analysts came to the following conclusion:
"Today, for the
first time in almost 50 years, the US stands on the verge of
attaining nuclear primacy.
It will probably
soon be possible for the US to destroy the long-range
nuclear arsenals of Russia or China with a first strike.
Unless
Washington's policies change or Moscow and Beijing take
steps to increase the size and readiness of their forces,
Russia and China - and, they concluded:
'The sort of
missile defenses that the US might deploy would be
valuable in an offensive context, not a defensive one -
as an adjunct to a US First Strike capability, NOT as a
standalone shield.
If the US
launched a nuclear attack against Russia or China, the
targeted country would be left with only a tiny
surviving arsenal - if any at all.
At that
point, even a relatively modest missile defense system
might be well enough to protect against any retaliatory
strikes'."
This was the real
agenda in Washington's Eurasian Great Game.
Then, in August 2008, Georgia foolishly invaded Russia, and were
promptly defeated by the Russian military. Not long after this,
Putin began an upgrade of the Russian military.
He knew that a
confrontation was in the making.
In 2016, Putin
unveiled some of the new weapons being rolled out. The west was
shocked- nay, they had a heart attack. It was at that moment
that the Pentagon knew they could not win a military
confrontation with Russia.
Then, in September
2015, Russia was called in by the Syrian government to help
defeat ISIS (a creation of the CIA/Mossad/British Intelligence).
That Russian military
action signaled a new era in global politics, with Russia
appearing as a formidable force to be reckoned with for the
first time since the end of the Cold War. America was no longer
the sole military superpower.
The world was visibly
moving towards a new world war, one claiming to have religion at
its core, but in reality a war, as all wars, about money and
power. Islam was being instrumentalized as a weapon of that
global war - by the two families.
Why was it so important for London and New York to gain control
of Russia?
The answer to that
question lies in the fields of geopolitics, especially oil and
gas.
Eurasian
Geopolitics
Geopolitical advisor to David Rockefeller,
Zbigniew Brzezinski wrote a
book, in 1997, called "The
Grand Chessboard".
It shows the
thinking of the Rockefeller Empire in regards to Eurasia...
Let us show a few
extracts from the book, to get an idea of how to control
Eurasia.
"For America, the
chief geopolitical prize is Eurasia-"
"Ever since the continents started interacting politically,
some five hundred years ago, Eurasia has been the center of
world power."
"...But in the meantime, it is imperative that no Eurasian
challenger emerges, capable of dominating Eurasia and thus
of also challenging America.
The formulation
of a comprehensive and integrated Eurasian geostrategy is
therefore the purpose of this book."
To put it in a
terminology that harkens back to the more brutal age of
ancient empires, the three grand imperatives of imperial
geo-strategy are to prevent collusion, maintain security
dependence among the vassals, to keep tributaries pliant and
protected, and to keep the barbarian (Russian, Chinese, and
Arabs) from coming together".
"It follows that
America's primary interest is to help ensure that no single
power comes to control this geopolitical space and that the
global community has unhindered financial and economic
access to it."
"America is now the only global superpower, and Eurasia is
the globe's central arena.
Hence, what
happens to the distribution of power on the Eurasian
continent will be of decisive importance to America's global
primacy and to America's historical legacy."
"Without
sustained and directed American involvement, before long the
forces of global disorder could come to dominate the world
scene" With warning signs on the horizon across Europe and
Asia, any successful American policy must focus on Eurasia
as a whole and be guided by a Geostrategic design."
"That puts a premium on maneuver and manipulation in order
to preempt the emergence of a hostile coalition that could
eventually seek to challenge America's primacy..."
"The most immediate task is to make certain that no state or
combination of states gains the capacity to expel the United
States from Eurasia or even to diminish significantly its
decisive arbitration role".
"Potentially, the most dangerous scenario would be a grand
coalition of China, Russia, and perhaps Iran, an
"anti-hegemonic" coalition united not by ideology but by
complementary grievances.
It would be
reminiscent in scale and scope of the challenge once posed
by the Sino-Soviet bloc, though this time China would likely
be the leader and Russia the follower.
Averting this
contingency, however remote it may be, will require a
display of U.S. geostrategic skill on the western, eastern,
and southern perimeters of Eurasia simultaneously".
We see that US
foreign policy followed the advise closely.
But, the US failed.
Iran, China and Russia are close allies, and all three are
working to expels the US, the West, NATO and Israel from
dominating Eurasia.
They dismissed Putin
when he formulated a new paradigm in Munich in 2007 - or when he
returned to the Kremlin in 2012.
Putin made it very
clear that Russia's legitimate strategic interests would have to
be respected again, and that Russia was about to recover its de
facto "veto rights" in managing world affairs.
Well, the Putin
doctrine was already being implemented since the Georgian affair
in 2008.
The
Caucasus
There is another potential entry into Russia from the south.
The Russian Empire
used this route as a buffer zone with Turkey, especially during
the numerous Russo-Turkish wars.
Russia was protected
by the Caucasus, a rugged, mountainous region that discouraged
any attacks to the point that NATO never considered this option.
But if anyone managed
to force their way through the mountains, they would be about
1,500kms from Moscow on flat, open terrain in far better weather
than attackers from the west would face.
If the South Caucasus states formed an anti-Russia coalition,
and the United States, for example, supported a rising in the
North Caucasus, the barrier might be shattered and a path
northward opened.
Therefore, Russia
followed a strategy of imposing strong controls in the North
Caucasus while engaging in a war in 2008 with Georgia, its most
significant southern threat, based on geography and Georgia's
alliance with the U.S.
The war demonstrated
the limits of American power while it was engaged in wars in the
Muslim world. It was successful strategies save for the fact
that the long-term threat from the south was not eliminated.
Russia needed a
strategy in the west and one in the south. In the west, part of
that strategy evolved in Ukraine, keeping it from being a threat
without the use of major Russian force.
A tacit agreement was
reached with Washington:
The United States
would not arm Ukraine with significant offensive weapons,
and Russia would not move major force into Ukraine beyond
the insurgencies already in place.
At that time, neither
Russia nor the U.S. wanted war. Each wanted a buffer zone.
That is what emerged.
Belarus
Another piece of the lost buffer became, so to speak, available.
Belarus is about
600kms from Moscow. Poland, to its west, is hostile to Russia
and contains some American forces. This represents a significant
threat to Russia, unless Belarus could be brought into the
Russian fold.
The elections in
Belarus held last year created an opportunity. President
Alexander Lukashenko, a long-time ruler who faced serious
opposition.
This was another
attempt by the CIA to start a Color Revolution in Belarus. Had
the CIA succeeded in Belarus, the squeeze on Russia would have
been fatal, in case of war.
The Russians backed Lukashenko and have essentially preserved
his position. Alexander Lukashenko has been the head of state of
Belarus since 1994, and did not have a serious challenger in the
previous five elections.
On 23 September 2021,
Belarusian state media announced that Lukashenko had been
inaugurated for another five-year term in a brief ceremony which
was held privately.
The following day,
the EU published a statement that rejected the legitimacy of the
election, called for new elections, and condemned the repression
and violence - standard tactics from the West.
Strategic depth is
vital in the very long term, and its importance is burned into
Russia's memory.
Destabilization of Kazakhstan
The year 2022 started with Kazakhstan on fire, a serious attack
against one of the key hubs of Eurasian integration.
Leaders of the
Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) held an
extraordinary session to discuss Kazakhstan.
The head of the Russian National Security Council, Nikolae
Patrushev, is Putin's right man. He is the head of all the
security and intelligence services of Russia, a very powerful
man indeed, a master of how to foil the CIA and MI6.
Just to give you an
example:
Between 2018 and
2021- a period of three years, Russia caught more than 2,000
spies, and foiled many plots.
So he is extremely
well aware of the plots and plans of Russia's enemies.
Putin was aware that the West were intent on creating a wave of
hybrid-war across Central Asia.
Back in November, Patrushev's laser was already focused on the
degrading security situation in Afghanistan. Tajik political
scientist Parviz Mullojanov was among the very few who
were stressing that there were as many as 8,000 imperial machine
Salafi-jihadi assets, shipped by a rat line from Syria and Iraq,
loitering in the wilds of northern Afghanistan.
That's the bulk of
ISIS-Khorasan - or ISIS reconstituted near the borders of
Turkmenistan. Some of them were duly transported to Kyrgyzstan.
From there, it was
very easy to cross the border from Bishek and show up in Almaty.
It took no time for Patrushev and his team to figure out, after
the imperial retreat from Kabul, how this jihadi reserve army
would be used: along the 7,500 km-long border between Russia and
the Central Asian 'stans'.
That explains, among
other things, a record number of preparation drills conducted in
late 2021 at the 210th Russian military base in
Tajikistan.
Virtually no one knows about it. But last December, another coup
was discreetly thwarted in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek. Kyrgyz
Intel sources attribute the engineering to a rash of NGOs linked
with Britain and Turkey.
That introduces an
absolutely key facet of The Big Picture:
NATO-linked Intel
and their assets may have been preparing a simultaneous
color revolution offensive across Central Asia.
During his 29-year
rule, Nazarbayev played a multi-vector game that was too
westernized and which did not necessarily benefit Kazakhstan. He
adopted British laws, played the pan-Turkic card with Erdogan,
and allowed a tsunami of NGOs to promote a Western agenda.
The breakdown of the
messy Kazakh op necessarily starts with the usual suspects:
the US Deep
State, which all but "sang" its strategy in a 2019 RAND
corporation report, Extending Russia. Chapter 4, on
"geopolitical measures", details everything from "providing
lethal aid to Ukraine", "promoting regime change in
Belarus", and "increasing support for Syrian rebels" - all
major fails - to "reducing Russian influence in Central
Asia."
That was the master
concept. Implementation fell to the MI6-Turk connection.
The CIA and MI6 had been investing in dodgy outfits in Central
Asia since at least 2005, when they encouraged the Islamic
Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), then close to the Taliban, to
wreak havoc in southern Kyrgyzstan.
Nothing happened. It
was a completely different story by May 2021, when the MI6's
Jonathan Powell met the leadership of Jabhat al-Nusra -
which harbors a lot of Central Asian jihadis - somewhere in the
Turkish-Syrian border near Idlib.
The deal was that
these 'moderate rebels' - in US terminology - would cease to be
branded 'terrorists' as long as they followed the anti-Russia
NATO agenda. That was one of the key prep moves ahead of the
jihadist ratline to Afghanistan - complete with Central Asia
branching out.
MI6 is deeply entrenched in all the 'stans' except autarchic
Turkmenistan - cleverly riding the pan-Turkish offensive as the
ideal vehicle to counter Russia and China. Yet both Russia and
China are very much aware that Turkey essentially represents
NATO entering Central Asia.
Every color revolution needs a 'Maximum' Trojan horse. In our
case, that seems to be the role of former head of KNB (National
Security Committee) Karim Massimov, now held in prison
and charged with treason.
Hugely ambitious,
Massimov is half-Uyghur, and that, in theory, obstructed what he
saw as his pre-ordained rise to power. His connections with
Turkish Intel are not yet fully detailed, unlike his cozy
relationship with Joe Biden and son.
A former Minister of
Internal Affairs and State Security, Lt Gen Felix Kulov,
has weaved a fascinating tangled web explaining the possible
internal dynamics of the 'coup' built into the color revolution.
According to Kulov, Massimov and Samir Abish, the nephew of
recently ousted Kazakh Security Council Chairman Nursultan
Nazarbayev, were up to their necks in supervising 'secret'
units of 'bearded men' during the riots. The KNB was directly
subordinated to Nazarbayev, who until last week was the chairman
of the Security Council.
When Tokayev understood the mechanics of the coup, he demoted
both Massimov and Samat Abish.
Then Nazarbayev
'voluntarily' resigned from his life-long chairmanship of the
Security Council. Abish then got this post, promising to stop
the 'bearded men,' and then to resign. So that would point
directly to a Nazarbayev-Tokayev clash. It makes sense as,
Tokayev is a very smart operator.
Trained by the
foreign service of the former USSR, fluent in Russian and
Chinese, he is totally aligned with Russia-China - which means
fully in sync with the masterplan of the BRI, the Eurasia
Economic Union, and the SCO.
Tokayev, much like
Putin and Xi, understands how this BRI/EAEU/SCO triad represents
the ultimate imperial nightmare, and how destabilizing
Kazakhstan - a key factor in the triad - would be a mortal coup
against Eurasian integration.
Kazakhstan, after
all, represents 60 percent of Central Asia's GDP, massive
oil/gas and mineral resources, cutting-edge high tech
industries:
a secular,
unitary, constitutional republic bearing a rich cultural
heritage.
It didn't take long
for Tokayev to understand the merits of immediately calling the
CSTO to the rescue:
Kazakhstan signed
the treaty way back in 1994.
After all, Tokayev
was fighting a foreign-led coup against his government.
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev framed it
succinctly.
Riots were
"hidden behind unplanned protests."
The goal was "to
seize power" - a coup attempt.
Actions were
"coordinated from a single center."
And "foreign
militants were involved in the riots."
Putin went further:
during the riots,
"Maidan technologies were used," a reference to the
Ukrainian square where 2013 protests unseated a
NATO-unfriendly government.
Defending the prompt
intervention of CSTO peacekeeping forces in Kazakhstan, Putin
said,
"it was necessary
to react without delay."
The CSTO will be on
the ground "as long as necessary," but after the mission is
accomplished,
"of course, the
entire contingent will be withdrawn from the country."
CSTO forces left
after a week, whereby they crushed the CIA coup.
But here's the
clincher:
"CSTO countries
have shown that they will not allow chaos and 'color
revolutions' to be implemented inside their borders."
Putin was in synch
with Kazakh State Secretary Erlan Karin, who was the first, on
the record, to apply the correct terminology to events in his
country:
What happened was
a "hybrid terrorist attack," by both internal and external
forces, aimed at overthrowing the government.
Yet, they are just
one nexus in western nebulae of Hybrid War fog deployed across
Central Asia, and West Asia for that matter. Here we see the CIA
and the US Deep State crisscrossing MI6 and different strands of
Turkish Intel.
When President
Tokayev was referring in code to a "single center," he meant a
so far 'secret' US-Turk-Israeli military-intel operations room
based in the southern business hub of Almaty, according to a
highly placed Central Asia Intel source.
In this "center,"
there were 22 Americans, 16 Turks and 6 Israelis coordinating
sabotage gangs - trained in West Asia by the Turks - and then
rat-lined to Almaty.
The op started to unravel for good when Kazakh forces - with the
help of Russian/CSTO Intel - retook control of the vandalized
Almaty airport, which was supposed to be turned into a hub for
receiving foreign military supplies.
The Hybrid War west had to be stunned and livid at how the CSTO
intercepted the Kazakh operation at such lightning speed. The
key element is that the secretary of Russian National Security
Council, Nikolai Patrushev, saw the Big Picture eons ago.
So, it's no mystery
why Russia's aerospace and aero-transported forces, plus the
massive necessary support infrastructure, were virtually ready
to go.
Putin, among others, has stressed how an official Kazakh
investigation is the only one entitled to get to the heart of
the matter. Rushed to only a few days before the start of the
Russia-US 'security guarantees' in Geneva, this color revolution
represented a sort of counter-ultimatum - in desperation - by
the NATO establishment.
Central Asia, West Asia, and the overwhelming majority of the
Global South have witnessed the lightning fast Eurasian response
by the CSTO troops - who, having now done their job, and left
Kazakhstan in a couple of days - and how this color revolution
has failed, miserably.
It might as well be
the last. Beware the rage of a humiliated Empire.
This spectacular run of defeats suggests that the age of the
U.S. dominating the world as its one remaining superpower is now
at a cross-roads.
It suggests that the
fearsome spectre of violent military might is losing its fangs.
It seems the era of the U.S. Empire is coming to an end. Then
there's the clincher, revealed by a high-level U.S. Intel
source.
In 2013, the late
Zbigniew
"Grand Chessboard" Brzezinski
was presented with a classified report on Russian advanced
missiles.
He freaked out and
responded by conceptualizing Maidan 2014 - to draw Russia into a
guerrilla war then as he had done with Afghanistan in the 1980s.

Ukraine
Ukraine and Russia were so intertwined economically, socially
and culturally, especially in the east of the country, that they
were almost indistinguishable from one another.
Most of Russia's
natural gas pipelines from West Siberia flowed through Ukraine
on their way to Germany, France and other European states. In
military strategic terms, a non-neutral Ukraine in NATO would
pose a fatal security blow to Russia.
In the age of
advanced US weapons and anti-missile defenses, this was just
what Washington wanted.
A look at the map of Eurasian geography revealed a distinct
pattern to the CIA-sponsored Color Revolutions after 2000. They
were clearly aimed at isolating Russia and ultimately cutting
her economic lifeline - her pipeline networks that carried
Russia's huge reserves of oil and gas from the Urals and Siberia
to Western Europe and Eurasia-straight through Ukraine.
The unspoken agenda of Washington's aggressive Central Asia
policies after the collapse of the Soviet Union could be summed
up in a single phase:
control of
energy...
So long as Russia was
able to use its strategic trump card- its vast oil and gas
reserves - to win economic allies in Western Europe, China and
elsewhere, it could not be politically isolated.
The location of
various Color Revolutions was aimed directly at encircling
Russia and cutting off, at any time, her export pipelines.
With more than half
of Russia's dollar export earnings coming from its oil and gas
exports, such encirclement would amount to an economic chokehold
on Russia by US-led NATO.
Russia was the only power with enough strategic nuclear
deterrence potential, as well as sufficient energy reserves, to
make a credible counterweight to global US military and
political nuclear primacy.
Moreover, a Eurasian
combination of China and Russia, plus allied Eurasian states
(mainly Central Asian ), presented an even greater counterweight
to unilateral US dominance.
Following the 1998
Asian financial crises, Beijing and Moscow formed a mutual
security agreement with surrounding states, Kazakhstan and
Tajikistan.
In June 2001,
Uzbekistan joined, and the group renamed itself the Shanghai
Cooperation Organization, or the SCO. This was the catalyst that
forced the Rockefeller Empire to carry out the terror act of
9/11, in order to justify an invasion of Central Asia- with the
aim to disrupt this alliance.
One of the leading advocates of an American global supremacy -
Rockefeller strategist and close friend - Zbigniew Brzezinski,
described the pivot significance of Ukraine in his 1997 book,
The Grand Chessboard.
He wrote:
"Ukraine, a new
and important space on the Eurasian chessboard, is a
geopolitical pivot because its very existence as an
independent country helps to transform Russia.
Without Ukraine,
Russia ceases to be a Eurasian empire...
If Moscow regains
control over Ukraine, with its 52 million people and major
resources as well as access to the Black Sea, Russia
automatically again regains the wherewithal to become a
powerful imperial state, spanning Europe and Asia..."
Brzezinski, a student
of Halford Mackinder geopolitics, described the role of "pivot"
states:
"Geopolitical
pivots are the states whose importance is derived not from
their power and motivation but rather from their sensitive
location... which in some cases gives them a special role in
either defining access to important areas or in denying
resources to a significant player..."
"It cannot be stressed enough that without Ukraine, Russia
ceases to be an empire, but with Ukraine suborned and then
subordinated, Russia automatically becomes an empire"
Ukraine, like few
other Eurasian countries, is a product of its special geography,
as it uniquely straddles east and west.
It is what Halford
Mackinder, the British father of geopolitics - the study of the
relations of political power to geography - called a "pivot"
state. Ukraine uniquely transforms the geopolitical position of
Russia, for better or worse.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Washington went
all out to support a break between Russia and Ukraine. The goal
was to use Ukraine as a buffer to block closer integration
between Russia and Europe, especially Germany.
The country Ukraine itself is an historical anomaly.
Almost 1000 years
ago, Kievan Rus under Vladimir the Great had been the empire of
the East Slavic peoples of today's Ukraine, Russia and Belarus.
For more than 350 years, Kievan Rus east of the Dnieper River
had been a part of the Russian Czarist Empire.
After 1795 Ukraine
was divided, as a result of wars of partitioning Poland, between
the Orthodox Tsardom of Russia and Roman Catholic Habsburg
Austria.
As such a pivot state, Ukraine's history has been tragic. In
1922 it was forced to become one of the founding republics of
the Soviet Union after a bloody war with the Red Army. In the
1930's, Stalin initiated a gruesome chapter in both Russian but
especially Ukrainian history, which still burns in the memories
of the descendants in the Catholic rural agricultural west of
Ukraine.
In 1932 and 1933,
millions of people, mostly peasants, in Ukraine starved to death
in a politically induced famine, the Holodomor, due to Stalin's
"liquidation of the Kulak class," the more or less independent
farmers to introduce forced collectivization of agriculture.
Some 6 to 8 million
people died from hunger in the Soviet Union during this period,
of which at least 4 to 5 million were Ukrainians.
Ironically, Nikita
Khrushchev, the man who in the 1950's initiated
de-Stalinization, was the head of the Ukrainian Communist Party
in 1935 overseeing Stalin's
Holodomor.
After Stalin's death, now as head of the Communist Party of
Soviet Union, Khrushchev decided to administratively transfer
the Crimea to the Ukraine within the USSR in 1954, though the
Crimean population was overwhelmingly ethnic Russian.
In the largely agricultural west of Ukraine, the famous
"breadbasket of Europe," the population is historically Roman
Catholic, going back centuries.
The Eastern parts of
Ukraine - Donbass, Donetsk, Crimea - are historically Eastern
Orthodox in religion and are Russian-speaking.
The east is also the
center of most Ukrainian industry from military manufacture to
steel, to coal to oil and gas.
The 2014
Maidan Coup d'état
In 2013 there was intense debate inside the cabinet.
The issue was the
economic future of the floundering Ukraine - whether east with
Russia into the new Eurasian Common Market together with Belarus
and Kazakhstan, or to the west with a "special" association (not
even a real full membership) with the European Union.
After a period of vacillation, and a final economic offer from
Russia, Janukovich told EU ministers in November, 2013 that
Ukraine would postpone talks for EU association and would join
Russia's Eurasian Economic Union, in the situation, a far more
attractive proposition for Ukraine.
At that point, within minutes of Janukovich's announcement,
Ukraine's "Second Color Revolution," was initiated.
The protests started
in the night of 21 November 2013. Via Twitter, Yatsenyuk called
for protests, which he dubbed as Euromaidan, on Maidan Square,
outside the main Government buildings.
What then ensued in Ukraine is to this day almost entirely
unknown in the West.
The reason is a total
media blackout, led by CNN, BBC, the New York Times, and
Washington Post. It has been a de facto NATO wartime press
censorship, originating in Washington at the highest levels
That Kiev coup regime proceeded after February 22, 2014 to wage
a war of extermination and ethnic cleansing of Russian-speakers
in eastern Ukraine, led to a large degree by a private army of
literal neo-Nazis from Pravy Sektor (Right Sector), the
same ones who ran security in Maidan Square and launched a reign
of terror against Russian-speaking Ukrainians.
Battalions were
formed of neo-Nazi mercenaries.
They were given
official state status as "Ukrainian National Guard" soldiers,
the Azov Battalion, financed by Ukrainian mafia boss and
billionaire oligarch, Ihor Kolomoisky, the financial
backer of Zelenskyy as president.
Today
By the late 2021, a huge military buildup had taken place within
eastern Ukraine.
The aim was to crush,
kill, and destroy the Donbass region, and its citizens. There
was a calculation by the CIA that Putin would be forced to enter
Ukraine in order for this conflict not to enter into Russia
itself.
The Russian military was undergoing exercises on its borders
with Ukraine during the last quarter of 2021. It moved equipment
and troops to its western front. Putin was receiving reports
from his intelligence services of an imminent attack by the
Ukrainians towards the Donbass region.
In late November, Putin sent a demand to Washington that peace
requires guarantees from Washington.
These were three:
Ukraine to be a neutral state. No nuclear missiles to be
stationed in Ukraine. Ukraine will not be a member of NATO.
Weeks had passed, but Washington did not respond.
Their intention was
to force Putin to enter the Donbass in support of the
Russian-speaking people there.
Starting on February 17th, the Ukrainian military
began shelling the Donbass, practically non-stop. A few days
later, Putin received intelligence that Ukraine has prepared a
"dirty nuclear "bomb, and were prepared to use it.
The tipping point was
when confirmation came that Washington was preparing to install
nuclear-tipped missiles (which would take 5 minutes from launch
to target - meaning not enough time for the Russian military to
detect, confirm, and launch counter measures) were poised to
strike Moscow from either Poland or Western Ukraine.
On February 19, at
the Munich Security Council ,(the very same place where Putin
shocked the world in 2007), Ukrainian President Zelenskyy made
his threat to deploy nuclear weapons on Ukrainian territory.
He expressed this as
his unilateral revocation of the 1994 Budapest Memorandum,
although Ukraine was not a signatory of the agreement.
Two days later on the
evening of February 21, Putin made his speech
recognizing the sovereign independence
of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and the start of
the military campaign in the Ukraine.
He explicitly
referenced Zelenskyy's Munich nuclear weapons pledge:
"This is not
empty bravado," Putin stressed in his speech.
The next morning,
Russia began its special operations, by moving into Eastern
Ukraine, and removing the threat to Russia.
Gas
Pipelines from Russia into China
The truth is that the Empire has been preparing a war against
Russia since at least the mid-90s and that these preparations
dramatically accelerated in the past eight years.
It means that while
western politicians spent the past 30 years or so slowly
encircling Russia, Russian force planners successfully reformed
the Soviet/Russian armed forces (which were in a terrible shape
in the 90s and in a very uneven shape during most of the 80s)
into a military capable of taking on all of NATO at once and
quickly and very painfully defeat it.
PS:
Russian Defense
Minister Shoigu just reported that in November the USAF used
10 strategic bombers coming in from both the east and the
west to rehearse nuclear strikes on Russia and that they
changed course only 20km from the Russian border.
It's a game
called "nuclear chicken ".
Let's begin by
looking at the AngloZionist policies towards Russia.
The West's
Actions
Second is the now total colonization of Western Europe into the
Empire.
While NATO moved to
the East, the US also took much deeper control of Western Europe
which is now administered for the Empire. The Russians are most
dismayed at the re-colonization of Western Europe. The 'loss' of
Western Europe is far more concerning for the Russians than the
fact that ex-Soviet colonies in Eastern Europe are now under US
colonial administration.
Why? Look at this
from the Russian point of view.
The Russians all see that the US power is on the decline and
that the dollar will, sooner or later, gradually or suddenly,
lose its role as the main reserve and exchange currency on the
planet (this process has already begun).
Simply put,
unless the US
finds a way to dramatically change the current international
dynamic, the AngloZionist Empire will collapse...
The Russians believe
that what the Americans are doing is, at best, to use tensions
with Russia to revive a dormant Cold War v2 and, at worst, to
actually start a real shooting war in Europe.
So a declining Empire
with a vital need for a major crisis, a spineless Western Europe
unable to stand up for its own interest, a subservient Eastern
Europe just begging to turn into a massive battlefield between
East and West, and a messianic, rabidly russophobic rhetoric
as the background for an increase in military deployments on the
Russian border.
Is anybody really
surprised that the Russians are taking all this very serious?
The
Russian Reaction
So let us now examine the Russian reaction to Empire's stance.
First, the Russians want to make sure that the Americans do not
give in into the illusion that a full-scale war in Europe would
be like WWII which saw the continental US only suffer a few,
tiny, almost symbolic, attacks by the enemy.
Since a full scale
war in Europe would threaten the very existence of the Russian
state and nation, the Russians are now taking measures to make
sure that, should that happen, the US would pay an immense price
for such an attack.
The Russians are now
evidently assuming that a conventional threat from the West
might materialize in the foreseeable future.
They are therefore
taking the measures needed to counter that conventional threat.
Since the USA appears to be dead set into deploying an
anti-ballistic missile system not only in Europe, but also in
the Far East, the Russians are taking the measures to both
defeat and bypass this system.
The Russian effort is a vast and a complex one, and it covers
almost every aspect of Russian force planning, but there are
four examples which would best illustrate the Russian
determination not to allow a 22 June 1941 to happen again:
-
The re-creation
of the First Guards Tank Army
-
The deployment of
the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system
-
The deployment of
the Sarmat ICBM
-
The deployment of
the Status-6 strategic torpedo
The
Re-creation of the First Guards Tank Army
To put it simply,
Russia clearly
did not believe that there was a conventional military
threat from the West and therefore she did not even bother
deploying any kind of meaningful military force to defend
from such a non-existing threat.
This has now
dramatically changed.
Russia has
officially announced that the First Guards Tank Army - 1TGA.
Make no mistake, this
will be a very large force, exactly the kind of force needed so
smash through an attacking enemy forces.
The
Deployment of the Iskander-M Operational-Tactical Missile System
The new Iskander-M operational tactical missile system is a
formidable weapon by any standard.
It is extremely
accurate, it has advanced anti-ABM capabilities, it flies at
hypersonic speeds and is practically undetectable on the ground.
This will be the
missile tasked with destroying all the units and equipment the
US and NATO have forward-deployed in Eastern Europe and, if
needed, clear the way for the 1TGA.
The
Deployment of the Sarmat ICBM
Neither the 1TGA nor the Iskander-M missile will threaten the US
homeland in any way.
Russia thus needed
some kind of weapon which would truly strike fear into the
Pentagon and White House in the way the famous RS-36 Voevoda
(aka SS-18 "Satan" in US classification) did during the Cold
War. The SS-18, the most powerful ICBM ever developed, was scary
enough.
The RS-28 "Sarmat"
(SS-X-30 by NATO classification) brings the terror to a totally
new level.
The Sarmat is nothing short of amazing. It will be capable of
carrying 10-15 MIRVed warheads which will be delivered in a
so-called "depressed" (suborbital) trajectory and which will
remain maneuverable at hypersonic speeds.
The missile will not
have to use the typical trajectory over the North Pole but will
be capable of reaching any target anywhere on the planet from
any trajectory.
All these elements
combined will make the Sarmat itself and its warheads completely
impossible to intercept.
The Sarmat will also be capable of delivering conventional
hypersonic warheads capable of a "kinetic strike" which could be
used to strike a fortified enemy target in a non-nuclear
conflict. This will be made possible by the amazing accuracy of
the Sarmat's warheads.
The Sarmat's silos will be protected by a unique "active
protection measures" which will include 100 guns capable of
firing a "metallic cloud" of forty thousand 30mm "bullets" to an
altitude of up to 6km.
The Russians are also
planning to protect the Sarmat with their new S-500 air defense
systems.
Finally, the Sarmat's
preparation to start time will be under 60 seconds thanks a
highly automated launch system. What this all means is that the
Sarmat missile will be invulnerable in its silo, during its
flight and on re-entry in the lower parts of the atmosphere.
It is interesting to note that while the USA has made a great
deal of noise around its planned Prompt Global Strike system,
the Russians have already begun deploying their own version of
this concept.
The
Deployment of the Status-6 Strategic Torpedo
What is shown here is an "autonomous underwater vehicle" which
has advanced navigational capabilities but which can also be
remote controlled and steered from a specialized command module.
This vehicle can dive
as deep as 1000m, at a speed up to 185km/h and it has a range of
up to 10'000km. It is delivered by specially configured
submarines.
The Status-6 system can be used to target aircraft carrier
battle groups, US navy bases (especially SSBN bases) and, in its
most frightening configuration, it can be used to deliver
high-radioactivity cobalt bombs capable of laying waste to huge
expanses of land.
The Status-6 delivery
system is capable of delivering a 100 megaton warhead which
would make it twice as powerful as the most powerful nuclear
device ever detonated, the Soviet Czar-bomb (57 megatons).
Hiroshima was only 15 kilotons.
Keep in mind that most of the USA's cities and industrial
centers are all along the coastline which makes them extremely
vulnerable to torpedo based attacks (be it Sakharov's proposed
"Tsunami bomb" or the Status-6 system).
And, just as in the
case of the Iskander-M or the Sarmat ICBM, the depth and speed
of the Status-6 torpedo would make it basically invulnerable to
interception.
Take the Kalibr cruise-missile recently seen in the war in
Syria. Did you know that it can be shot from a typical
commercial container, like the ones you will find on trucks,
trains or ships?
Just remember that
the Kalibr has a range of anywhere between 50km to 4000km and
that it can carry a nuclear warhead.
How hard would it
be for Russia to deploy these cruise missiles right off the
US coast in regular container ships?
Or just keep a
few containers in Cuba or Venezuela?
This is a system
which is so undetectable that the Russians could deploy it off
the coast of Australia to hit the NSA station in Alice Springs
if they wanted, and nobody would even see it coming.
The reality is that the notion that the US could trigger a war
against Russia (or China for that matter) and not suffer the
consequences on the US mainland is absolutely ridiculous.
So sometimes things
have to be said directly and unambiguously - western politicians
better not believe in their own imperial hubris.
So far, all their
threats have achieved is that the Russians have responded with a
many but futile verbal protests and a full-scale program to
prepare Russia for WWIII.
First, he confirmed that the Sarmat ICBM would replace the old
but already formidable SS-18 "Satan". Then he turned to new
weapon systems:
-
A nuclear powered
cruise missile with basically unlimited range
-
A nuclear powered
unmanned submersible with intercontinental range, very high
speed, silent propulsion and capable of moving a great
depths
-
A Mach 10
hypersonic missile with a 2'000 kilometer range (named:
Kinzhal)
-
A new strategic
missile capable of Mach 20 velocities (named: Avangard)
All of these systems
can be armed with conventional or nuclear warheads. Just think
of the implications!
Not only does that
mean that the entire ABM effort of the USA is now void and
useless, but also that from now US aircraft carrier battle
groups can only be used against small, defenseless, nations!
It Is
Official and It Is Over
While the whole Western media are shaking (incompetence will do
this to one) in their boots from Vladimir Putin's address, where
he demonstrated, among many things, new RS-28 Sarmat ballistic
missile, behind that revolutionary weapon system, one was almost
completely ignored by media.
Again, "education"
based on catch phrases (such a "nuclear weapon) will do this to
one. By far most shocking (albeit inevitable) revelation was
deployment of a new hyper-sonic missile Kinzhal weapon.
The missile is...
well, for the lack of better word, is stunning–it is M10+ highly
maneuverable missile with the range of 2000 kilometers. The
naval warfare as we know it is over.
Without any
overly-dramatic emphasis, we are officially in new era. No, I
repeat, NO, modern or perspective air-defense system deployed
today by any NATO fleet can intercept even a single missile with
such characteristics.
The salvo of 5-6 of
such missiles is a guaranteed destruction of any Carrier Battle
Group (CBG).
The mode of use of such weapon, especially since we know now
that it is deployed (for now) in Southern Military District is
very simple–the most likely missile drop spot by MiG-31s will be
international waters of the Black Sea, thus closing off whole
Eastern Mediterranean to any surface ship or group of ships.
It also creates a
massive no-go zone in the Pacific, where MiG-31s from Yelizovo
will be able to patrol vast distances over the ocean.
It is, though,
remarkable that the current platform for Kinzhal is MiG-31 -
arguably the best interceptor in the history. Obviously,
MiG-31's ability to reach very high supersonic speeds (in excess
of M3) is a key factor in the launch.
But no matter what
are the procedures for the launch of this terrifying weapon, the
conclusions are simple:
-
It moves aircraft
carriers into the niche of pure power projection against
weak and defenseless adversaries;
-
It makes classic
CBGs as main strike force against peer completely obsolete
and useless; it also makes any surface combat ship
defenseless regardless its air-defense capabilities.
Sea Control and Sea
Denial change their nature and merge. Those who have such
weapon, or weapons, simply own vast spaces of the sea limited by
the ranges of Kinzhal and its carriers.
I don't want to sound
dramatic and I knew that there were and are always surprises in
Soviet/Russian weapons but today's revelations from the highest
podium in Russia about Kinzhal were shocking.
The balance of power
just shifted dramatically, with it the naval warfare as we knew
it is no more.
It is
OVER!
There is nothing in the U.S. arsenal now and in the foreseeable
future which can intercept Mach 9-10+, let alone M20-27,
targets. That's the issue.
It is indeed set,
match and game over for the Empire:
there is no more
military option against Russia. So what do these people
want?
They want to provoke
Moscow by all means available to exercise "Russian aggression",
resulting in an attack on Ukraine, but with zero casualties for
NATO and the Pentagon.
Then the Empire of
Chaos will blame Russia; unleash a tsunami of fresh
sanctions, especially financial; and try to shut off all
economic links between Russia and NATO.
All exponents of Russian leadership, starting with President
Putin, have already made it clear, over and over again, what
happens if the Ukro-dementials start a blitzkrieg over Donbass:
Ukraine will be
mercilessly smashed - and that applies not only to the
ethno-fascist gang in Kiev. Ukraine will cease to exist as a
state.
It's all
about Minsk
It remains to be seen how this "de-confliction" will happen in
practice when Defense Minister Shoigu revealed U.S.
nuclear-capable bombers have been practicing, in their sorties
across Eastern Europe, to enhance,
"their ability to
use nuclear weapons against Russia".
Shoigu discussed that
in detail with Chinese Defense Minister Wei Fenghe:
after all the
Americans will certainly pull the same stunt against China.
The root cause of all
this drama is stark: Kiev simply refuses to respect the February
2015 Minsk Agreement.
In a nutshell, the
deal stipulated that Kiev should grant autonomy to Donbass via a
constitutional amendment, referred to as "special status"; issue
a general amnesty; and start a dialogue with the people's
republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.
Over the years, Kiev fulfilled exactly zero commitments - while
the proverbial NATO media machine incessantly pounded global
opinion with fake news, spinning that Russia was violating
Minsk.
Russia is not even
mentioned in the agreement...
Moscow in fact always
respected the Minsk Agreement - which translates as regarding
Donbass as an integral, autonomous part of Ukraine. Moscow has
zero interest in promoting regime change in Kiev.
On the Minsk
agreements, Putin's to Zelinsky message was blunt:
"The President of
Ukraine has said that he does not like any of the clauses of
the Minsk agreements. Like it, or not - be patient, my
beauty. They must be fulfilled."
Looking at all of
these moves against Russia since taking office, plus knowing
full well the aim of the Rockefeller Empire was to "de-construct
Russia, and break it up into three parts, Putin said "enough is
enough" It was time to fight back.
Since 2000, Putin
bided his time, making Russia strong, getting rid of internal
and external enemies, building up her military and financial
strength, and producing such advanced weapons for which the West
has no defense against.
For the first time in
a century, a military superpower Russia, having had enough of
U.S./NATO bullying, is now dictating the terms of a new
arrangement.
Coming straight from President Putin, it did sound like a bolt
from the sky:
"We need
long-term legally binding guarantees even if we know they
cannot be trusted, as the U.S. frequently withdraws from
treaties that become uninteresting to them. But it's
something, not just verbal assurances."
And that's how
Russia-U.S. relations come to the definitive crunch - after an
interminable series of polite red alerts coming from Moscow.
Putin once again had to specify that Russia is looking for
"indivisible, equitable security" - a principle established
since Helsinki in 1975 - even though he no longer sees the U.S.
as a dependable "partner", that diplomatically nicety so debased
by the Empire since the end of the USSR.
So in the end it
comes down to Europeans facing,
"the prospect of
turning the continent into a field of military
confrontation."
That will be the
inevitable consequence of a NATO "decision" actually decided in
Washington.
Incidentally:
any possible,
future "counter threats" will be coordinated between Russia
and China.
Most people by now
know the content of the Russian draft agreements on security
guarantees presented to the Americans. Key provisions include,
-
no further NATO
expansion
-
no Ukraine
admission
-
no NATO
shenanigans in Ukraine, Eastern Europe, Transcaucasia and
Central Asia
-
Russia and NATO
agreeing not to deploy intermediate and short-range missiles
in areas from where they can hit each other's territory
-
establishment of
hotlines
-
the NATO-Russia
Council actively involved in resolving disputes...
Russia's Ministry of
Foreign Affairs extensively reiterated that the Americans
received "detailed explanations of the logic of the Russian
approach", so the ball is in Washington's court.
In fact, whether U.S. and NATO functionaries like it or not,
what's really happening in the realpolitk realm is Russia
dictating new terms from a position of power.
In a nutshell:
you may learn the
new game in town in a peaceful manner, civilized dialogue
included, or you will learn the hard way via a dialogue with
Russia's missile stars - Iskandr, Kalibr, Khinzal , Zircon,
and many more in the pipeline...
The Pentagon has
nothing close to any of these. These weapons are game-changing.
Do note that the US military has been on a technological decline
over the past two decades. In addition, the cost structures of
new systems are such, that its peer competitors - Russia and
China - do build better equipment at FAR LOWER COSTS.
And, they work,
unlike many new systems in the Pentagon and western militaries.
Finally, the
adventures in Iraq and Afghanistan have broken the back of
the US military.
It is not what it
once was.
President Putin
declared that the Russian ultimatum was not an ultimatum, as
have several other Russian officials.
Putin said:
"We already see
that some of our ill-wishers, frankly speaking, interpret
them as an ultimatum from Russia. Of course not.
I remind you once
again, I want to remind you:
everything
that our partners did, so we will call them, Yugoslavia
was bombed under what pretext?
What, with
the sanction of the Security Council, or what?
Where is
Yugoslavia and where is the USA?
Destroyed the
country.
Yes, there is an
internal conflict, there are their own problems, but who
gave the right to strike at the European capital? No one.
They just decided
that, and the satellites ran behind them and nodded. That's
all international law.
And under what pretext did you enter Iraq? Development of
weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.
We entered,
destroyed the country, created a hotbed of international
terrorism, and then it turned out that we were mistaken, and
then they said:
"The
intelligence let us down."
Wow!
The country was
destroyed! Intelligence failed - and the whole explanation.
It turns out that there were no weapons of mass destruction
there, no one was preparing. On the contrary, once it was,
[but] everything was destroyed as it should be.
How did you go to Syria? With the approval of the Security
Council? No. They do what they want.
But what they are
now doing on the territory of Ukraine, or trying to do and
planning to do, is not thousands of kilometers from our
national border - this is at the doorstep of our house.
They must
understand that we simply have nowhere to retreat further.
Specialists sit here; I am in constant contact with them.
There are no hypersonic weapons in the United States yet,
but we know when they will appear, the same cannot be
hidden. Everything is recorded: the tests are successful -
unsuccessful.
Clearly, we
roughly understand when it will be.
They will supply
Ukraine with hypersonic weapons, and then under its cover -
this does not mean that they will use them tomorrow, because
we already have Zircon, but they do not have it yet - they
will arm and push extremists from a neighboring state into
including to certain regions of the Russian Federation, say
the Crimea, under favorable, as they believe, circumstances
for themselves.
Do they think we don't see these threats? Or do they think
that we will helplessly look at the threats posed to Russia?
This is the whole
problem, we simply have nowhere to move on - that is the
question."
This then is
Putin's red line...
In plain English, this means this: oh no, this is not at all an
ultimatum. But we remind you that you attacked other countries
and all we are saying is that if you continue or do not heed our
warnings, then we will be free to do whatever we deem necessary.
But no, of course
not, this is not an ultimatum at all.
First, Putin is both very predictable and, at the same time,
very unpredictable. The predictable thing about Putin is that he
only uses force when there is no other option left. The very
unpredictable thing about Putin is how and where he is willing
to use force.
Russia has a huge
advantage over US+NATO in electronic warfare (from the tactical
to the strategic level) and she can easily use it to a
devastating effect while NATO has nothing to retaliate in kind.
This, by the way,
also applies to the Middle-East where, apparently, Russia has
the means to disrupt/spoof GPS signals over the entire region.
The power of the Russian ultimatum is precisely in the fact that
the Russians have promised to do "something" military and/or
military-technical, but have not spelled out what that
"something" might be. In reality, we are not dealing with one
single "something", but a succession of gradual steps which will
bring more and more pressure to bear on the US and NATO/EU .
Keep in mind that
while the USA can make counter-proposals they are in no position
to make any credible threats, hence the fundamental asymmetry
between the two sides:
Russian can make
credible threats, while the US can produce only more words,
something the Russians have basically stopped paying
attention to.
From now on, the game
is simple:
Russia will
gradually turn up the "pain dial" and see how the Empire
will cope with this.
China will be
doing the exact same as Russian and Chinese actions are
obviously carefully coordinated.
At which point
Russia and China would have won.
How soon will Russia
turn up the pain dial? Putin has just repeated today that no US
delaying tactics will be acceptable to Russia.
A not-so-diplomatic
message was sent to the West.
"If you don't
want to talk to Lavrov, then you will have to deal with
Shoigu" - the best one-liner in years.
Putin has declared
today that he is "fed up" with the West:
"And when
international law and the UN Charter interfere with them,
they declare all this obsolete and unnecessary.
And when
something corresponds to their interests, they immediately
refer to the norms of international law, the UN Charter, and
international humanitarian rules.
I'm fed up of
such manipulations".
Now, a very
high-level
Deep State intel source,
retired, comes down to the nitty gritty, pointing out how,
"the secret
negotiations between Russia and the US center around
missiles going into Eastern Europe, as the US frantically
drives for completing its development of hypersonic
missiles."
The main point is
that if the US places such hypersonic missiles in Romania and
Poland, as planned, the time for them to reach Moscow would be 5
minutes.
It's even worse for
Russia if they are placed in the Baltics.
The source notes,
"The US plan is
to neutralize the more advanced defensive missile systems
that seal Russia's airspace.
This is why the
US has offered to allow Russia to inspect these missile
sites in the future, to prove that there are no hypersonic
nuclear missiles.
Yet that's not a
solution, as the Raytheon missile launchers can handle both
offensive and defensive missiles, so it's possible to sneak
in the offensive missiles at night.
Thus everything
requires continuous observation."
The bottom line is
stark:
"This is the real
issue behind the present crisis. The only solution is no
missile sites allowed in Eastern Europe.
That happens to
be an essential part of Russia's demands for security
guarantees.
The West slowly
is discovering that that it has no pressure point versus
Russia (its economy being relatively sanctions-proof), and
its military is no match for that of Russia's."
In parallel, how,
"the threat to US
dominance is that China, Russia and Mackinder's Eurasian
World Island heartland are offering better trade and
investment opportunities than are available from the United
States with its increasingly desperate demand for sacrifices
from its NATO and other allies."
The Rockefeller
Empire and Washington are at the end of American geopolitical
control over Eurasia.
Occupied Germany and
Japan enforcing the strategic submission of Eurasia from the
west down to the east; the ever-expanding NATO; the ever
de-multiplied Empire of Bases, all the lineaments of the
75-year-plus free lunch are collapsing.
Way back in August 2020,
"the goal of
Russian and Chinese policy is to recruit Germany into a
triple alliance locking together the Eurasian land mass a la
Mackinder into the greatest geopolitical alliance in
history, switching world power in favor of these three great
powers against Anglo-Saxon sea power."
The new groove is set
to the tune of,
-
the New Silk
Roads, or BRI
-
Russia's
unmatched hypersonic power - and now the non-negotiable
demands for security guarantees
-
the advent of
RCEP - the largest free trade deal on the planet uniting
East Asia
-
the Empire all
but expelled from Central Asia after the Afghan humiliation
-
sooner rather
than later its expulsion from the first island chain in the
Western Pacific, complete with a starring role for the
Chinese DF-21D "carrier killer" missiles...
So the rules have
changed drastically.
The Hegemon is
naked...
The new deal starts
with turning the post-Cold War set-up in Eastern Europe
completely upside down. The East Med will be next. The Bear is
back, baby. Hear him roar.
To achieve its Full Spectrum Dominance, Washington needed
not only the resources of its Color Revolutions across Eurasia
to encircle Russia.
The Pentagon also
needed to draw the rope tight around the emerging colossus
of Asia,
China...
There, a different
approach was required, given the extreme US financial dependence
on China and its economic ties and investments there.
To that end, our next
article is on China.
