Washington’s Bi-Partisan Russia-Bashers Are Determined to Start a War

I will continue to go with journalists around the world thousands of them who care about the truth. Not your goddamn one TV channel and three newspapers owned by international scumbag Rupert Murdock, brainwashed functional moron.

I don't have access to any Murdock owned media.

You're fooling yourselves if you think it's an issue of left/right politics. America is in turmoil because of the rip-off of the working class by the very rich and powerful. The easiest clue to follow is in Trump's support came from the workinig class people whose agenda of gaining their piece of the American pie, was hijacked by another corporate psychopath.
Now the people will flounder around until the election, hating each other, and then elect one of two more bad choices.

In most of your replies?

You keep on bringing up Trump.

I did not mention Trump in any of my posts, nor did the OP.

The military mind understands very well the reason why America's major starting point is the need to somehow get rid of Putin. No progress is possible for America until that happens.

Putin is the same resolute and strong position as his KGB upbringing that's a brick wall against which America's strategists bash their heads.

Some are paying their Nato bills. My understanding is that some are not.

Putin Is a lying corrupt murdering scumbag dictator at this point. He should try democracy honesty sometime. You are a disgrace.

Even worse of course internet crazy conspiracy nut jobs. And of course any quotes from the New York Post or Wall Street journal... Same goddamn.... Owned by Rupert Murdock. Of course the internet stuff is even worse. All these things need some debate to get through the fugue state of the GOP base. Reagan did away with that too...

I have no idea WTH you are talking about. The only source I have cited in this thread is Consortium News.

Sorry if the facts and the truth bother and trigger you.

They aren't left wing nut-job.

It's like Biden is gunning to see just how deeply unpopular he can get. 15% of Americans want troops in Ukraine. FIFTEEN percent. But it seems he must do it at any rate.

Do I need your permission to mention Trump?
Check your arrogance at the door mr.B.

The thread hasn't a thing to do with him, so I don't get it. Talk about him all you like. . . but it makes not a lick of sense.

I'll consider him to be off-topic for now, or until he becomes a consideration that relates to the conversation.

Consortium news my butt. They're called journalists around the world and are in competition for finding the truth as opposed to right wing garbage propaganda.

Why thank you sir Occupied. It seems to me that you mean that as a dig, but it's actually honor in God's sight when people are reconciled to their warring neighbors and reconciled to the Good works and words in the Good Book. Our strength is in God. Our founders wove in God's strength with their form of government which espouses equality and fairness for all. Communism kills its best with their unacceptance of better methods of resolving differences. Democratic Republics build and share, seeking fairness to everyone who doesn't shoot themselves in the foot with inappropriate living practices that namely worships getting even instead of forgiving and forgetting, building and sharing, and looking to keep out predators and their practices. Predators can learn peaceful ways and profit from it in a way that shares the wealth through individual giving. And that's what I think.

Aren't you sick of this hog-wash? It's nauseating.

This is the part where the electorate would do well to remember that there's not a nickle's worth of difference between em at that level of politics.

Anyway...

Washington’s Bi-Partisan Russia-Bashers Are Determined to Start a War - written by Ron Paul

Russia-bashing is a bi-partisan activity in Washington. Both parties think it makes them look “tough” and “pro-America.” But while Republican and Democrat politicians continue to one-up each other on “risk-free” threats to Russia, they are increasingly risking a devastating nuclear war.

It’s all fun and games until the missiles start flying. And in this case we are risking total destruction over who governs eastern Ukraine! Has so much ever been risked for so little?

The problem with all this tough talk is that politicians start to believe their own rhetoric and propaganda. As a result they don’t make sound decisions based on objective facts, but instead make rash decisions based on faulty misinformation.

When US politicians talk about Russia massing troops on the Ukrainian border, for example, they leave out the fact that these troops are actually inside Russia. With US troops in some 150 countries overseas, you’d think Washington might pause before criticizing the “aggression” of troops inside a country’s own borders.

They also leave out the reasons why Russia might be concerned over its neighbor Ukraine. CNN reported recently that the Biden Administration approved another $200 million in military aid to Ukraine last month, making nearly half a billion dollars in weapons over the past year.

Imagine if China was sending half a billion dollars in weapons to Mexico to strengthen and embolden a hyper-aggressive anti-US regime. Would the US not be “massing troops near the Mexican border”?

Also there is that issue about the US-backed overthrow of the democratically-elected Ukrainian government in 2014, which is the starting point of all these recent problems. And this week Yahoo News reported that the CIA is training Ukrainian paramilitaries on US soil!

Recent talks between the US and Russia failed before they even began, with the US side refusing to even consider ending useless and provocative NATO expansion eastward. NATO is a Cold War relic that should have been disbanded along with the Warsaw Pact. It serves no purpose and its constant saber-rattling puts us at risk in conflicts that have nothing to do with US national security.

How embarrassing it was to hear Blinken ridiculing Russia for coming to the aid of ally Kazakhstan as a color revolution (with likely US backing) was brewing. “I think one lesson in recent history is that once Russians are in your house, it’s sometimes very difficult to get them to leave,” Blinken told reporters. He said this with a straight face even as the US continues to illegally occupy a large part of Syria, continues to occupy part of Iraq against the will of that country’s parliament, and occupied a good part of Afghanistan for 20 years!

Incidentally, as soon as the regime change attempt was put down in Kazakhstan, Russian and allied troops began leaving the country. But, of course, the reflexively pro-war US media doesn’t report anything outside the narrative.

What to do about Russia? Stop backing regime change along Russia’s borders, including Belarus, Kazakhstan, and elsewhere. Stop meddling in foreign elections. Look at how we wasted four years on false claims that the Russians meddled in ours. End weapons shipments and all aid to Ukraine. End sanctions. Re-imagine the US defense budget as a budget to actually defend the US. It’s really not that complicated: stop trying to rule the world.

The moment they do China will seize Taiwan in a heartbeat.

Russia/Putin is rooting for the right and against Biden. A look at the stories at RT.com daily tells the obvious story. Russia's interests were advanced by Trump and are challenged by the Biden admin.

you're an idiot....Putin has no interested at all in American Politics save what he can profit from. There is no right and left American solons when it comes to Russia there are only Politicians of every stripe that can be bought and that problem knows no unique side of any aisle.
