Russian President Vladimir Putin’s recent press conference during a state visit to Uzbekistan contained perhaps the starkest warning to NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organisation) and the ruling elites of the West that he has ever given. Putin made it clear, once again, that if the NATO governments led by Washington went ahead with their plan to fire long-range missiles at targets inside Russia from Ukraine, Russia would respond and that the countries that provided the weapons systems would be held responsible. Putin also made clear that Ukraine has little to do with it given the fact that the long-range missiles are made by NATO, supplied by NATO, are operated and launched by NATO, at targets selected by NATO while using space reconnaissance data provided by NATO.[1] The fact that Washington and its NATO vassals are pushing to strike the territory of Russia – a nuclear superpower- indicates that the West is on the brink of triggering an apocalypse the likes of which has never been countenanced in history. This insane course must be prevented if humanity is to survive.
World on a precipice
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban recently stated that every week, he sees more and more evidence that the EU (European Union) and NATO are preparing for war against Russia. He said that the talks between Ukraine and France to enable French “military instructors” to go to Ukraine indicates a new level of involvement of the EU and NATO. Trying to express the gravity of the situation, Orban stated that “we are inches away from destruction”.[2] The almost complete silence about this potentially civilisation ending catastrophe is astonishing, as there is virtually no comment, and no opposition to this reckless course from Western politicians, nor from Western print or TV media.[3] The outcome of a NATO launched war on Russia could well be the end of life on planet earth. Yet many in the West are unaware that we are standing on the edge of annihilation. Russia’s “dead hand” launch system means that even if NATO is able to take out every Russian command and control centre, enough missiles will be automatically launched to wipe out the US and Western Europe. Thus, there is no advantage for a NATO first strike on Russia. In fact, it is Russia which has first strike capability due to its terrifying Sarmat juggernauts, which carry smaller but unstoppable hypersonic missiles as payload.[4]
If this nightmare scenario was not enough, Washington is at the same time hell bent on provoking the giant People’s Republic of China (PRC) to the point of nuclear exchange. As of March this year, US Green Berets have been permanently stationed in Taiwan for the first time ever. This includes Kinmen Island, which is a bare six miles from Xiamen on the coast of the Chinese mainland. It is not like the PRC is not ready should the US military push the issue (something which is way beyond the PRC’s red lines) too far. The PRC’s military drills at the end of May completely surrounded Taiwan in a formidable show of force. In addition, the usually ultra-diplomatic Beijing government did not mince words, saying its exercise were activated to “punish separatist acts”.[5] New Taiwan President Lai Ching-te barely stands a chance if he continues to push Taiwanese “independence”.
