NATO & Russia Moving Toward War

Communism v capitalism

QUESTION: News from Russia is claiming there will be a major war with NATO. I do not understand if Russia is no longer Communist; what is the real issue that we have to move to World War again?

SV

ANSWER: It’s just time. Having met a Neocon face to face, all I can offer is my opinion. They sought to do what Khrushchev threatened to bring communism to the world, so they claimed they would conquer the world by imposing their version of democracy, which is propaganda. We are NEVER asked if our taxes should be raised or if we want to go to war with Russia and China. Vietnam saw an 18-year-old sent off to die when he was too young to drink or to vote. But that was their version of democracy. No better than the communists, from what I can see. There is no common sense and certainly no logic to try to wage war against Russia and China and claim they would never use nukes, even if they were about to be destroyed. This is just insane.

Everything is always a knee-jerk reaction. The Warsaw Pact was created on May 14, 1955, in response to West Germany joining NATO on May 6th, 1955 – 8 days before. The Democrats impeached Trump twice, and now the Republicans are impeaching Biden. No matter what you look at, when one side does something, it results in the other side responding in the same manner. This never ends.

Neocons for NATO

NATO North Atlantic Terror Organization

A Donald Trump win would be a complete disaster for the Neocons. He repeatedly stated that withdrawing from the war in Ukraine would be his first priority on day one in office. Trump threatened to leave NATO and was a harsh critic of the organization as he did not see the benefits for the US. Congress cannot take that chance again and has voted to ban any president from withdrawing from NATO.

The measure received bipartisan support and the effort was led by Senator Tim Kaine (D-Va.) and Senator Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) as part of the National Defense Authorization Act. The United States provided $821 million to NATO  in its FY 2022 budget. NATO members agreed to spend 2% of their GDP on the alliance back in 2014 when fears of Russian aggression were spreading. Only three other nations adhered to that target, and as of July 2023, only 10 of the then 31 members were meeting their target.

NATO 1991 Russia Join scaled

The United States contributes more than any other NATO member. The United States, United Kingdom, and Germany pay for over 40% of NATO’s budget. NATO continually expands, also expanding the threat of war. Everyone knows the rules of Article 5 – if one nation is attacked, all nations must respond. Yet they are strategically growing NATO by welcoming countries that are a hop, skip, and jump away from “unfriendly” nations. This is precisely what the Russian government wanted to prevent, as they felt backed into a corner by NATO aggression.

Many decades ago, Russia wanted to join the alliance under Yeltsin, who worked to defend his country from the old hardline Communists. NATO declined as they needed an enemy as an excuse to maintain their alliance. To the Neocons, Russia will always be the USSR and the Communist enemy along with China. In 1997, the same year Yeltsin was reelected, then-Senator Joe Biden begged NATO to welcome all the Baltic nations. That was two years before Putin came to power, as Russia has always and must always be the enemy.

America has been the world’s war financier since WW2. Congress effectively welded international foreign interests with domestic policy by forcing the nation to back NATO indefinitely. I say indefinitely as Neocons are on both sides of the political arena and would never vote to leave NATO.

Saving the Best for Last Re-Posted Nov 9, 2023 By Martin Armstrong  


2023_11_08_20_56_39_Russia_s_jamming_of_US_provided_rocket_systems_complicates_Ukraine_s_war_effort_

QUESTION: You said Ukraine never shot down 6 of Russia’s unstoppable hypersonic weapons. Do you think that was all propaganda?

SH

HIMARK

ANSWER: Absolutely. Neither the US nor Russia will commit their most critical weapons to Ukraine. Why? Because it reveals your best car and allows the opposition to gather intelligence to defeat them. Look at the HIMARS rockets that were going to change the game. Russia jammed its guidance systems that rely on GPS. The US would NEVER have given Ukraine our top shelf. That would be like playing poker and showing your hand before the betting begins.

You save the Best for Last

There Will Be No Peace As Long As Zelensky Runs Ukraine Re-Posted Nov 7, 2023 By Martin Armstrong

It is stunning how the Ukrainian people have not looked at how their country has been destroyed and over 500,000 Ukrainian soldiers are dead all for a territorial grab under the propaganda that Zelensky loves to claim he is fighting for their freedom. The Minsk Agreement allowed the Donbas to vote for they are Russian and Ukraine was NEVER prosecuted for its Nazi war crimes against Jews, Polish, Hungarians, and Russians, all because the CIA wanted to use them against Russia.

Discord_in_Ukrainian_leadership._Zelenskyy_s_office_criticizes_a_general

Recently, General Valerii Zaluzhny, according to the “New York Times” publicly conceded that the war with Russia has reached a standoff and a substantial technological leap would be required to overcome it, although this seems unlikely. Zelensky went nuts. Sources say he had gagged the military and will not allow then to speak the truth. Everything from Ukraine is just propaganda now, celebrating that they are always winning a war that everyone knows is unwinnable.

Blinken no deal

Ukraine had its freedom. Now, it has a country that has been undermined by this high-heel dancing actor who cares nothing about the Ukrainian people. Zelensky is told what to do by the American Neocons. Both the Ukrainian and Israeli people need to wake up. They are BOTH pawns in the chess game of endless wars instigated behind the curtain by the Neocons. Both need to honestly assess what is in their own best interest long-term for future generations. Likewise, sources say that Hamas is NOT all Palestinian. They also have among their ranks zealots from all over the Middle East who are equally willing to use Palestinian civilians for political purposes.

Neocons Pushing War Everywhere Re-Posted Nov 6, 2023 By Martin Armstrong


Blinken no ceasefire_in_Gaza Nov 6 2023

I have warned that Biden’s Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, and his #1, Victoria Nuland, are hardline Neocons with their own agenda, which is neither in the best interests of Israel nor the United States. They have control of the Biden Administration amid rising criticism. Blinken, on November 6th, 2023, said a ceasefire in Gaza would allow Hamas to regroup and carry out similar attacks. Blinken has also rejected peace in Ukraine and pushes for war everywhere he can. He is endangering the entire world, which appears to be his agenda.

Even Obama and other Democrats are starting to break with Biden. Biden is NOT in charge. He is too senile to make any rational decisions. He is doing as he is told, and there is nobody putting any checks against the Neocon agenda of engulfing the entire world in war.

Lindsey Graham – Read to Declar War on Iran?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Oct 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Mr. Armstrong, Thank you for educating us about the Neocons. Your special report opened my eyes and should be taught in school. Lindsey Graham, on your list of Neocons, seems to be ignorant of anything to do with the Middle East. His Meet the Press was virtually a push to declare war on Iran. That will bring in Russia, which he seems to want, and Turkey will be drawn in, which has the largest arming in the region. Besides that, 20% of the world’s oil supply still passes through the Straits of Hormuz.

His proposal to attack Iran’s oil production to cut off funds for Hamas is idiotic. Iran has thousands of missiles, if not nukes. They are sophisticated in cyber warfare. That will create World War III.

Is there nobody in Washington to push back against the lack of understanding?

GD

Military Strength by Country

ANSWER: These Neocons are living under the false assumption that the United States is overwhelmingly powerful and that the entire world can be brought to its knees in a matter of days. Our active military is only 1.4 million compared to Russia and China, which are at 3.2 million. Even India has 1.5 million. They think because we are a major nuclear power, that nations will tremble when we say boo.  Before this began, Iran had 610,000 active. Israel had just under 170,000. Sources say that Iran has had a flood of people rushing to sign up when they raised the black flag—perhaps 2 million.

If the US attacks Iran – that is World War III. This will take it from a regional war to a global war in a matter of hours. Then we have insane Neocons claiming NATO could defeat Russia in 3 days. This is insane. Then you have those looking at the Bible who have been writing in about Armageddon when those from the North invade into the Middle East. I seriously doubt that any of these Neocons believe in the Bible.

All these people ever preach is war – never peace.

Haley wants a Department of Offense


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Oct 24, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

Nikki Haley has made it clear that should would lead America straight into a nuclear war if elected president. She told Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu to “finish them” and proposed an all-out genocide as the solution to the conflict. “I say this to Prime Minister (Benjamin) Netanyahu: Finish them. Finish them. Hamas did this. You know Iran is behind it. Finish them,” she shouted, urging for an immediate escalation by including Iran and later China. Now, Haley believes that the Department of Defense should be changed to the Department of Offense.

America is seen as the aggressor in China and Russia. The Middle East believes America is the aggressor in the Israel-Palestine war, and has been since it sends billions off to Israel each year to fund their military. There can be no peace with a Neocon in charge. Haley mentions nothing of the near 5,000 people who have died in the past few weeks alone.

Hamas released two American hostages last week, and Haley is discouraging the safe release of the others through diplomatic negotiations. Does she want Hamas to kill off their remaining bargaining chips? “But let me tell you what I told the Biden administration today: Don’t fall for it,” Haley said. “… They are doing this to earn favor with America because they want to try and look good in the eyes of America. Don’t fall for it.”

Anti-Zionism is antisemitism.

— Nikki Haley (@NikkiHaley) October 23, 2023

Half of these 2024 US Presidential candidates speak more on foreign affairs than anything happening at home. Let us remember that America has not actively declared war, and no one is encroaching on US soil besides the millions of illegals we purposely allowed in. She is another America Last mindless political drone spewing globalist fantasies. “We’ve got to be smart, and we’ve got to be ready,” she said. “I’m tired of talking about a Department of DefenseI want a Department of Offense. Every enemy needs to fear us,” the Neocon demanded.

She is utterly clueless. The world sees that America has all the military might and funding. The world no longer fears America because we A) have extremely weak leadership and B) a completely divided nation. It matters not if we double funding the DoD because our commander-in-chief is senile, and those pulling the strings are incapable of bipartisan relations, let alone foreign relations. A staunch Neocon like Haley is incapable of thinking of the lives on the line or the repercussions of provoking our enemies. She should drop out of the race entirely if she wants any foreign nation to fear us once again as America needs a level-headed adult capable of tactful and strategic relations at this volatile point in history.
