There are ample number of reports coming from Russian news sources that the Russian leadership is fully aware that the globalists are spreading anti-Russian propaganda. The Russian military is very concerned that the west will create a false flag in Ukraine to justify an attack against Russian troops.
They have even mentioned that a special forces mercenary group has entered the conflict zone where Ukraine is attacking the Donbass forces - and may have chemical weapons with them to use in the conflict theater. This tactic was used several times in Syria to gain global press coverage. Time will tell if this materializes or not.
Putin and a host of his officers, officials and spokesmen have given a very consistent interpretation on what is going on with the NATO verbal attack program against Russia. In response they have said clearly that Russia has no choice but to defend themselves by any means necessary.
They have reiterated their red lines and said plainly and simply that they cannot allow any outside military force to be placed inside Ukraine. They have also said that if the west continues to place nuclear missiles close to Russian borders, they will also place nuclear missiles in Venezuela and Cuba to achieve military parity.
It is obvious that a war against Russia is very possible and could break out in the weeks or days ahead. This reality hasn’t been reported broadly in the main stream press. But to researchers, it is obvious all the signs are there that has incrementally built up to the threshold of war.
Both sides are clear on their viewpoints and reasons for defending their positions. The issues are well defined and each side has a passionate defense for their opinions. The call by Russia for talks on this subject and a high-level diplomatic dialog to avoid war, has been mysteriously rebuffed and refused. This makes the Russians feel they must go to war before it’s too late.
Once military actions begin, the west will take that as a sign of aggression and give them the green light to attack Russian forces directly. The entire situation seems to be on automatic pilot – with both sides playing roles in a play that has already been written. Here again, the news media is suspiciously silent on this danger of two super powers going to war.
I hope the saber rattling and war talk will subside and both sides back off from a dangerous military confrontation that could deteriorate into a major war. All of us find ourselves in a frustrating position of standing back and watching what develops, with a feeling there is nothing we can do to change the outcome. In this regard we can empathize with the Russians, since we have been taken over by political enemy forces - and we also have nowhere else to retreat to. George Eaton
