The American Empire Self-Destructs

But nobody thought that it would happen this fast.

By Michael Hudson:  Empires often follow the course of a Greek tragedy, bringing about precisely the fate that they sought to avoid. That certainly is the case with the American Empire as it dismantles itself in not-so-slow motion.

The basic assumption of economic and diplomatic forecasting is that every country will act in its own self-interest. Such reasoning is of no help in today’s world. Observers across the political spectrum are using phrases like “shooting themselves in their own foot” to describe U.S. diplomatic confrontation with Russia and allies alike.

For more than a generation the most prominent U.S. diplomats have warned about what they thought would represent the ultimate external threat: an alliance of Russia and China dominating Eurasia. America’s economic sanctions and military confrontation has driven them together, and is driving other countries into their emerging Eurasian orbit.

Crisis Actors Pretending To Be Dead Ukrainians Can’t Keep Still And Fox News Talking Heads Can’t Stop Lying

'Washington is going to try to assassinate Putin and to put in his place one of the West-worshipping Atlanticist Integrationists.  If this attempt succeeds, Washington will then face off with China.  If the attempt fails, nuclear war is upon us.'

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: As you can see from the short video, anti-Russian psyops is in full operation: video/fVxGiHParDAC/   It tells us nothing about Russia, but much about ourselves. Western presstitutes have no morality, no integrity, and will lie for money even when the lies lead to nuclear war.

Because Tucker Carlson is on Fox, many conservatives believe that Fox News is a conservative source of news.  Some of these conservatives  are still living in the Cold War with the Soviet Union and have a long ingrained hatred of Russians. They don’t know why they hate Russians. It is just part of their Cold War culture.

How The Narcotic Of 'Defense' Spending Undermines A Sensible Grand Strategy

It is no accident that the United States is on the cusp of the Second Cold War...

Authored by Franklin Spinney: The Military-Industrial-Congressional-Complex’s (MICC) grand-strategic chickens are coming home to roost big time.

While war is bad, the Russo-Ukrainian War has the champagne corks quietly popping in the Pentagon, on K Street, in the defense industry, and throughout the halls of Congress.  Taxpayers are going to be paying for their party for a long time.  

It is no accident that the United States is on the cusp of the Second Cold War.

Future historians may well view the last 30 years as a case study in the institutional survival of the American Military – Industrial – Congressional Complex (MICC), together with its supporting blob now saturating the media, think tanks, academia, and the intelligence community.  Perhaps, these future historians will come also to view the Global War on Terror (GWOT) as the bridging operation that greased the transition to Cold War II by keeping defense budgets at Cold War levels after Cold War I ended.  Also, 9-11 may have re-acclimated the American people to the climate of fear now needed to sustain Cold War II for the remainder of the 21st Century.

We Ended It All Out Of Boredom

By Caitlin Johnstone:

In the end we went the way of the dinosaur
not because of any asteroid or apocalyptic disease,
nor because we failed to adapt quickly enough to environmental changes,
but because we got bored.

We let the bitches (who were just as bored as the rest of us)
wave their warheads around like dongs at a bachelorette party,
even egging them on, calling for starvation sanctions
and no-fly zones and endless escalations in brinkmanship,
because there was nothing new on Hulu,
because CNN needed the ratings,
because they canceled Jerry Springer,
because they don’t let you smoke anywhere these days,
because snarling at Putin made us feel giddy and euphoric
in a way we didn’t quite understand but kind of scared us,
because our friends stopped letting us masturbate our drama addiction on them,
because we shuddered at the thought of a boring world where nations simply get along
and collaborate toward the highest interest of all beings,

Extremely Important Statements By Putin

"I will now say something that may sound rough but the situation compels me to say it."

The Saker: As some of you know, Putin spoke at length with a group of Russian flight attendants.  This is such an important statement that I asked one of our interpreters (thanks E.!) to subtitle the video.  I am also posting the transcript below.  In this exchange, Putin spells out in quite some details WHAT Russia is doing and WHY she is doing it.
