NATO is Destroying Itself

It is often said that while Russia plays chess, the US plays checkers. In checkers, or English Draughts, the players cannot move backwards. All pieces must move forwards (diagonally – zigzagging) and cannot move backwards until they reach the opponents end of the board. And so it is with the psychopaths running NATO, the British and US governments and the people behind them all; the bankers.

We have today what amounts to a declaration of war from Petro Poroshenko in his Inauguration Speech. After leading Vladimir Putin to believe he was interested in negotiating (i.e. moving backwards or, at least, standing still), he turned around and announced it would be 'forward into the Valley of Death'. Business as usual, in other words, for the psychopaths.

This is not unexpected because it is, indeed, business as usual. The bankers have been pushing this 'forward only' strategy since forever. There is one exception, some might say, to this; Syria. But it is not really an exception at all.

Obama and Cameron backed down from directly attacking Syria only after the Russian Black Sea Fleet brought down two missiles fired by the US Navy at Damascus making it clear that Russia has a vigilant anti-missile system and superior missile technology and will use it against the US. So Obama & Co went back to using proxies to carry on the war against the Syria people.

It has all been going wrong for the NATO allies since israel failed to overrun Lebanon in 2006. Hezbollah soundly repelled them and without the aid of direct intervention of Syria. Something that the israelis and the US were counting on to give them both the excuse to attack Syria. Attacking Syria would have brought Iran into the war because Iran has a mutual defence pact with Syria. Attacking Iran would have, in turn, brought Russia into a war with the US. At least that was the plan. But it didn't work out that way. So did israel, NATO et al back away from their plans to attack Syria after the Lebanon debacle?

No. They set about attacking Syria using mercenaries and religious nutjobs. When the nutjobs were clearly being defeated, the US attacked with two missiles initially and would have no doubt followed with many more had the Russians not shot them down. Notice that Russia did not go on the offensive after this but simply held their ground. Did NATO back away from their plans after another defeat?

No. They pressed on to Iran regardless. They raised the offensive rhetoric to ever higher levels. When it became clear that they were not going to provoke Iran into acting hastily, they negotiated. Russia made it clear that Iran, like Syria, was under Russia's nuclear umbrella. Iran can defend itself against the US unless the US uses nuclear weapons. It was at this point that Russian proclaimed that Iran was under its nuclear umbrella. Up till that point, Russia was not going to intervene and neither it will unless Iran is threatened with nuclear weapons which it cannot defend itself from. So no-go there for the US crazies. But they are driven so they looked elsewhere to advance. If they could not 'zig' then they would 'zag'.

So repeating their practice of leaping forward even after defeat, the US/NATO set its sights on Russia through the Ukraine. Russia is the ultimate goal in any case. But, of immediately interest, the Russian Fleet that is protecting Syria from direct attack is harboured, maintained and supplied at Sevastopol in Crimea, a part of Ukraine.

The US State Dept had been investing money for many years to destabilize Ukraine. Plans were brought forward. A victory was urgently needed because astute observers were seeing the emperor had no clothes. Or, at least, its bark was much worse than its bite. Time to shore up the omnipotence image. Besides, things were sliding backwards at high speed in Syria. Soon the liver eating mercenaries and fellow crazies would be routed completely from the soil of Syria.

The US firmly believed they would be able to topple the govt of Ukraine, put their crazies in power and have them throw Russia out of Sevastopol. Such was their hubris, the US Navy even put out a notice for tenders to renovate certain buildings in Crimea in advance of all this happening. In their psychopathic minds, it was a fait accompli. Didn't happen. Not they way they wanted, at least. They lost the whole of Crimea to Russia. The psychopaths miscalculated . . . . again.

There's a simple reason for this continued miscalculation and for the practice of continually 'falling forwards” or “Fuite en Avant” (fleeing forwards) as Saker quotes a French saying. It is to do with the condition of psychopathy.

Psychopaths are deficient in some human qualities. It is well known that they have no compassion for others, no sense of guilt or shame. This allows them to do things that ordinary human beings are inhibited from doing. Psychopaths are very aware of this and see it as a freedom and a winning advantage over the rest of us. And there is some truth in that. But there is another side to the condition.

Psychopaths do not learn from their mistakes like we do. Because they have no inhibitions and no internal brakes on their thinking and behaviour, they are unable to self-reflect. With no sense of guilt or shame, there's no imperative or desire or perceived need to reflect on their behaviour. In their minds, they are never at fault, anyway. Therefore they cannot integrate the lessons that you or I would learn from and use.

Another reason is because they do not believe in an objective reality. Every thing is subjective to them because they have this firm belief that they can shape reality to their will. “We are an empire now and when we act we create our own reality” so sayeth Karl Rove.

So if you think you are able to shape reality, you can leave out the consequences you don't like as if you were writing a script for a teevee show. Therefore, in their minds, should anything actually go wrong that they didn't foresee, no troubles, because they can deal with it because they shape reality, right?! Of course! People generally applaud thos that refuse to accept defeat. But it can be a sign of madness and/or psychopathy, too.

Now, in practise, they often do avoid consequences but they do so by putting them onto other people. Or more accurately, by bluffing other people into accepting the adverse consequences as their own. Hence the constant tactic of 'blame the victim'. This reinforces the delusion for the psychopaths and disempowers the victims. And it works for a time but not for the reasons the psychopaths think. It only happens with the vicims' co-operation – witting or unwitting. Eventually, the victims shoot back or the psychopaths run up against someone who doesn't buy the omnipotence 'schtick' (the spell) that the crazies project. Enter Vladimir Putin.

Vladimir Putin does not have to battle the US/NATO crazies in the way many think. For the most part, he has simply to allow them to wear the consequences of their actions. And we are seeing that happen now. The psychopaths in Kiev, and increasingly those in Washington, are being seen for what they are and their power, which relies heavily on image, is waning fast. Their image relies on deceit. Consistently telling truth to the people and to the psychopaths breaks that spell. This is one of the things that Putin is doing.

I have said Putin does not bluff, and he doesn't. He does what he says. His opponents don't always understand what he says at the time but they do in hindsight. He is extraordinarily difficult for the crazies to deal with. No wonder Obama doesn't want to be in the same room with him talking one on one. He knows Putin sees straight through him. Putin does not buy the image of Obama and the US at all. This leaves Obama feeling very exposed. Which he is. Increasingly, the rest of the world will see what Putin sees through watching and learning from what Putin does; that there is an effective alternative to coercion and violence.

We in the “West” are being shown the most valuable of lessons if we but have eyes to see it.

But Obama and the psychopathic bankers who own him won't back away quietly. They are still firmly in the grip of their delusion of power over reality and are driven by their compulsions. The common saying, “there is no rest for the wicked” is very true. Any addict is a slave. And these particular slaves have given over their free will and with it the chance to back away.

So they will continue to 'fall forward' lurching from one disaster to the next impelled by their nature and never learning; sinking deeper into the quicksand with each new twist and turn.

Putin is way ahead of the game here and is giving the psychopaths room to fall forward. Like the master martial artist that he is, he will continue to side step their onrush and use their inertia and their delusions against them and exposing their blunders and bluster for the whole world to see.

We have today the spectacle of President elect Petro Poroshenko virtually declaring war on Eastern Ukraine. Putin has offered to negotiate, even after all the provocation, to no avail. Now he will allow the fascist forces to advance to their demise. Russia will intervene in Ukraine if the massacres persist. He will allow (and has been allowing) the self defence forces to battle the fascists while ever they have been capable of doing so. If the self defence forces are overcome by a force beyond their capacity, then he will step in. But not before. The reason is that to do so would be to take away the free will and freedom of action of the people of the Donbass. He would also take away their self respect if he was to do that. This is what he did for the Crimeans. He neutralized the Ukrainian military in Crimea and let the Crimeans deal with the rest. He showed them respect.

The Russians will be seen to perform an economic miracle in Crimea. They will help with money and expertise, of course, but it will largely be the doing of the Crimeans. They are a proud and highly motivated people now. They have been transformed and the greatest resource any country has is its people. A people with a broken spirit cannot be helped. But a people with pride and heart are unstoppable. The people of Crimea and Russia came together as equals - each proud of the other.

This will all be repeated in the East of Ukraine albeit with more bloodshed unfortunately. The Kiev junta will advance into the Donbass using their air force for cover. I expect the Russians to neutralize the Ukrainian air force one way or another leaving the self defence forces to deal with the Nationals and Right Sector. There may emerge evidence of more massacres having taken place and even taking place. In that case, especially if the self defence forces cannot hold then I expect the Russians will occupy the Donetsk and Lugansk oblasts.

But however it pans out, Russia will only use the force that is necessary to preserve lives and then only using force that does not involve losing even more lives than are being saved. In other words, Russia's actions will be defensive and protective at all times as they have been up till now. Though there could be circumstances in which to defend the Russians in East Ukraine from massacres, it will be necessary to severely damage or even destroy Ukraine's offensive capacity as happened in Georgia.

Through observing Vladimir Putin's consistent behaviour throughout his political career, it is clear to see that he has endeavoured to defend and nurture the human spirit while those he has consistently opposed have at all times endeavoured to exploit it if not destroy it.

These psychopaths, including this junta, remaining true to their 'falling forwards' compulsion, will try to occupy other oblasts in the East and the process will repeat. Eventually, Russia will one way or another ensure the freedom of the East whether that means joining Russia or not. Inevitably the US will be screaming about the murderous Russians invading Ukraine and trying to resurrect the USSR.

By this stage though, the people in Europe, at least, will clearly know the US and their tactics for what they are. The US will not have the propaganda coup that they expect. One of the reasons is that these psychopaths simply do not understand how normal people feel and think, together with the fact that psychopaths cannot foresee or accept the consequences of their actions.

Again, we in the “West” are being shown the most valuable of lessons if we but have eyes to see it.

We need to pay attention because one day, and probably not too far away, it will be our turn. But we can start now, as individuals, to practice in our daily lives what Vladimir Putin and many Russians are teaching us; to respect others autonomy yet protect them, as we are able, from what they cannot deal with; to challenge lies, including our own, whenever we hear them and not be afraid to speak the truth to anybody. This will prepare us and those around us to be calm in the face of adversity and for the better world that is coming.
