War, Yet?

The news says that America just cluster-bombed Russian beachgoers in Crimea. Well, it didn’t say exactly that. But – nonetheless – that is exactly what just happened.

The Keeeeeeeeeeeeevians may have pushed the proverbial button that sent the missiles on their way but it was America – more finely, the regime that rules Americans – that provided the missiles and (apparently) the support needed to guide them to their target.

Bluntly – in honest language – America just attacked Russia.

It is nothing less than astounding that Russia has not attacked back. Yet. But – of a certainty – it’s coming. Because that is what happens when a country is attacked. It hits back – in self-defense – at the country that attacked it.

That country is not Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeev. Just as – for those who still remember such things – it would not have been Cuba that attacked the United States back in 1962, the last time the world came this close to nuclear war. The missiles in Cuba were Russian – and JFK publicly stated that any missile fired from Cuba would be regarded as an attack by Russia (then the Soviet Union) upon the United States and that the United States would respond accordingly.

Everyone – including the leadership of the Soviet Union – understood exactly what that would entail. If the “Cubans” fired a Soviet-provided missile at the United States, the United States would return fire – with nuclear missiles.

We were this close.

And now we are, again.

The harrowing difference, this time, is that psychopaths are in charge of the United States. JFK was a womanizer – and what a difference that makes. He had no desire to see either the Soviet Union or the United States immolated in a nuclear holocaust.

Over Cuba.

And neither did the Soviet leader, Nikita Kruschev. He was many things also – but (thankfully) not a psychopath. The two men were able to reason together and arrive at a solution to end what would come to be called the Cuban Missile Crisis. The Soviets agreed to remove their ballistic missiles from Cuba and the United States agreed to do the same in Turkey, which was at that time a proxy. Pagan America: The Dec...

Today, the Proxy is Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeev – and the psychopaths are in charge.

Not in Russia, though. Vladimir Putin has thus far shown remarkable restraint to the attacks on Russia; far more restraint, probably, than Americans would have evinced had the Russians shelled Houston from Mexico, say – and pretended it wasn’t Russia that did the shelling.

Everyone – who isn’t insane – understands this because it is inarguable. Attacking another country – even if via a proxy – is what’s called an act of war. The psychopaths who have been in control of the United States since JFK got blown away have been engaging in such actions ever since, only up to now they have warred on nations that can’t fight back, such as Vietnam and Iraq. This bullying has only served to enhance the psychopathy of the creatures that run the United States, who believe they can get away with anything.
