'The West has lost touch with reality and is bringing death and destruction upon itself.'
By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts: British Foreign Minister Says “We must go after everything Russian.”
“We will show Putin that we are completely behind Ukraine: we will
chase the money and the oil, we will stop the gas, we will stop the
ships,” declared British Foreign Minister Cameron.
The UK is “hunting” companies that do business with Russia “all over
the world,” Cameron said. “We will sanction companies in China, in
Turkey, in Kyrgyzstan, even in Israel, that we believe are supplying
dual-use material” to Russia, he added.
This is the consequence of Putin’s ill-considered “limited military
operation in Ukraine.” It is extraordinary that Russian intelligence
failed to inform Putin that a slow-poke war would permit the West to
become involved, thereby turning it into a war between NATO and Russia.
Putin still speaks of negotiating a peace with Ukraine despite the
fact that Ukraine, NATO, and Washington have made it completely clear
that the only terms for peace are Russia’s withdrawal from Ukraine
including Crimea, payment for damages and dead Ukrainians and acceptance
of NATO membership for Ukraine.
One can only wonder at the complete lack of realism as the West brings war to Russia.
