Odesa, a global civilizational community, and a multicivilizational community of Ukraine in grave peril.
On 24 February 2022, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the president of Russia, told the Russian people his goal was to demilitarise and de-Nazify Ukraine Government, to protect people subjected to what he called eight years of bullying and genocide by Ukraine's Government. Moscow also made allegations that Ukraine was building a plutonium-based dirty bomb to attack Russia. NATO maybe helping Ukraining scientists carrying out this project. At this time, the United States, the European Union and several other countries and entities expanded their economic sanctions against Russia and supplying arms shipments to Ukraine. Despite overwhelming and demoralizing pressure and bullying by the Ukraine's government, Odesa managed to stand its ground. It had always been a Russian city and home to many languages and cultures, a multicivilizational community, a global civilizational community, so the new policies of the Nazify Ukraine that always promoted only one identity and one language ran counter to everything that Odesa represented. Odesa multicivilizational community was being challenged and attacked, push backward to an (earlier) inferior condition characteristic of a past historical time, opposing political or social progress or reform. The new regime Nazify Ukraine Government was put in place by the West with the only goal of wrongfully engaging Russia to take action for its own defence, to defend itself from attack from the West. Such a project concerning Odesa of the regime Nazify Ukraine Government so close to Russia is truly harmful, catastrophic and dreadful.
On September 13, 1962, USA President Kennedy wrote: "If at any time the Communist build-up in Cuba were to endanger or interfere with our security in any way, or if Cuba should ever become an offensive military base of significant capacity for the Soviet Union, then this country, the USA, will do whatever must be done to protect its own". Today, the USA military is doing a similar attack onto Russia to destroy Russia and grab its resources including its land, and killing the Russian people. Russia has the right to protect its own land and people. The USA, NATO, the European nations, the EU, the West, have no right to deliberately behaves controversially in order to provoke argument or other strong reactions from Russia, intending to invade Russia, bullying the Russian people with sanctions, and through repeated verbal, physical and/or social behaviour that intends to cause physical, social and/or psychological harm to the Russian people, and also intending to invade Russia by using Ukraine and other nations near Russia'political boundaries and physical boundaries as a stepping place to invade Russia.
The regime Nazify Ukraine Government refused the diplomatic solution brought forward by Vladimir Putin of making Ukraine a neutral nation not threatening and menacing Russia with NATO and USA military bases in the Ukraine and other nations near Russia borders. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the president of Russia, offered the Nazify Ukraine Government and the "West" a peaceful solution, instead they chose to send major military personnel and mercenaries with the most destructive and deadly equipment to the Ukraine and other EU nations. They refuse to make Ukraine a neutral nation and would rather provoke and create a war-like state with Ukraine against Russia, and with the West against Russia.
The tragedy that occurred in Odesa on May 2, 2014, no doubt gave impetus to the escalating political crisis in Ukraine 2022. The tragedy caused a point of no return that opened the door to a full-out civil war. But the Odesa tragedy did not only make many in southeastern Ukraine take up arms. It also made those among Ukraine’s own population supportive of Russia aware of the fact that Ukrainian nationalists of the Nazify Ukraine Government, were prepared to kill their adversaries and take Ukraine backwards, underdeveloped, primitive, and unsophisticated.
Social backwardness leads to educational backwardness and economic backwardness. They are mutually contributory to each other and are inter-twined with low occupations in the Ukraine society.
What was Odesa to the ethnic Russians in Ukraine until May 2, 2014? History shows that after the northern shores of the Black Sea became Russian territory in the late 18th century, the empire launched a massive development project there. Russia founded and built all of the major cities in the area, including Kherson, Nikolaev and Odesa. Kherson was to function as an outpost, Nikolaev as a shipyard, and Odesa a port. Odesa became a very special place. It was given the privileges of a free port, which meant it attracted a lot of merchants and drove the development of the entire region. The city became so important that it was dubbed the Palmyra of the South. It was second only to the imperial capital of St. Petersburg, known as the Palmyra of the North.
Cultural diversity thrived in Odesa. It became home to Jewish, Armenian, Greek, Bulgarian communities, as well as Ukrainians and Russians. It was a city worthy of a great empire. Such a rich mix of nations gave Odesa its special flavor. It became the stuff of so many legends that were captured by many a great writer, including Isaac Babel, whose stories were full of those picturesque southerners you could only find here. At the same time, Odesa always remained a Russian city, and Russia’s two-headed eagle had under its wings all of this diversity.
During the Soviet times, Odesa was part of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, a circumstance that determined some of the administrative procedures but had no influence on Odesa’s culture. That started to change only after Ukraine declared itself an independent state in 1991. But even as part of an independent Ukraine, Odesa stayed true to its unique multicultural status. Odesa was truly a global civilizational region and becoming a part of the Global Civilizational State, and Global Parliament.
Although most of the people of Odesa hated the idea of forced Ukrainization by the Nazify Ukraine Government regime, there were also those who supported it. That’s what the city of Odesa was like during and before 24 February 2022, – torn and conflicted – when the political crisis started to engulf Ukraine, and what forced the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, to intervene and stoped the genocide.
Earth governance is about the rights of states to self-determination in the global context of Global Civilization rather than the traditional context of a world of separate states. The European Union (EU) is a unique economic and political union between 27 European countries. But they could not even agree on a Global Consitution to govern themselves. How can they add more pressure to the people of Odesa? What give them the right to supply Ukraine with armaments to destroy and kill people from the community of Odesa?
A Global Constitution contains the basic principles and laws of a nation, state, or social group that determine the powers and duties of the government and guarantee certain rights to the people in it. It is a written instrument embodying the rules of a political or social organization, not just an economic union such as the EU or the United Nations. They basically are like the G7 and G20 but somewhat larger in scope. Both the EU and the UN have project Goals & Objectives but no Global Constituion to govern themselves. All about business and market! U.S. market and world market charts are all what make them do things in the world. As far as they are concern, Odesa is no different. All about business! They supply armaments to the Nazify Ukraine Government so that the government will "win" the war. They hope that when Russia is destroyed the West will be able to steal the resources from the Russian Global Community. Ukrainian nationalists of the Nazify Ukraine Government will be able to rob, plunder, and ravage Russia for itself and on behalf of the West (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Republic of Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, Switzerland, United States, Canada, Monaco, Liechtenstein, Vatican City, San Marino, and the United Kingdom).
That is exactly and precisely what Hitler and his European army has tried to do during Worl War II. In some ways, all European nations were hoping Hitler would succeed because they never helped the Soviets destroyed Hitler's army. They waited until after the Soviets destroyed Hitler's army to have their D-Day operation of June 6, 1944. But then why? Hitler's army was already finished, destroyed, and soldiers still alive were depressed, so why the West not just used diplomacy, a skill in handling affairs without arousing hostility, and ask the remaining Germans in Europe to surrender? Even now today, the West has never been educated about diplomacy, which could have been used for the conflict between Russia and the Nazify Ukraine Government.
To explain what truly happened during WW II, it was not just Hitler wanting to invade the Soviet Union and acquire its formidable natural resources, it was also all of Europe with the same desire of enriching itself. Europeans also thought that the people from the Soviet Union were communists and, therefore, should not be allowed to have all those resources. Right from the start, on June 22, 1941, Germany, Italy and Romania invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa. They were joined shortly after by Finland and Hungary. All the other European nations never stopped Hitler from invading the Soviet Union. They gave up quickly to Hitler's plan. And that alone makes them on Hitler side for the invasion of the Soviet Union.
Now British and American Generals would have thought ahead concerning the consequences of Hitler invading the Soviet Union. That is very human to think ahead! Those same Generals would have like nothing better than to see the Soviet Union defeated by Hitler. Afterward, a weakened German Army could be easily defeated by the USA. And of course British and Americans would have got all they wanted: the Soviet Union formidable natural resources.
And that is the reason why D-Day happened so late during WW II. After Churchill and Roosevelt saw that Stalin was winning WW II, they decided to have their D-Day thing to save face for history and so make believe to the world they had something to do with winning WW II. It was only years later, after Stalin had defeated Hitler that the so called Allies decided to have their D-Day in France. In France!? At the time, most Germans in France were so depressed of losing the war that it would have been no big deal about putting down their arms, and they would have glady surrendered if only Churchill had knew anything about diplomacy. In WW I, Churchill sent 200,000 soldiers to their deaths because his little finger told him he had the right strategy. Churchill cooked his own books explaining what happened during both wars, WW I and WW II.
Again in WW II, after the Soviet Union defeated the German Army, instead of asking the USA to gas Germany, Churchill could have easily asked German soldiers in France to surrender. If Churchill had got any training whatsoever in diplomacy he could have avoided the killing of thousands of British, French, Canadian and German soldiers, and, of course, countless civilians and refugees including Jews and Christians.
Throughout WW II, the United States behaved like a nation of mercenaries. They would help only if they were getting pay from Britain. Later on D-Day, the USA decided it was in their own national interests to gas bomb Germany. And they did just that. Mercenaries dont fight for freedom, justice and democracy. They get pay to do a job, and that is all. And that is why NATO( the USA) Defence Ministers agreed to commit a minimum of 2% of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to defence spending to continue to ensure the Alliance’s military readiness. But bombing Germany when the German Army had already been defeated is a crime against humanity. Roosevelt never had a single drop of diplomacy in his blood, and neither did the US Congress officials. The prospect of Americans getting their hands on Russia' formidable natural resources, had Hitler defeated the Soviet Army, was to great to let pass away this opportunity. Americans were opportunists at best, and committed crimes against humanity at worst.
Today, all of Europe, all nations from the West, have got together to do what Hitler has tried to do in World War Two, destroy Russia, kill all Russians, and steal all natural resources of the land.
Attempts to portray NATO as a defender of world order and international law are transparent frauds. Even leaving aside the fact that the NATO powers operate global torture and drone murder operations, they have time and again in the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, sought to wage aggressive war despite opposition at the UN Security Council, in violation of international law. As for the current crisis in Ukraine, it exploded after the NATO powers brazenly backed a putsch in Kiev, led by fascist groups like the Right Sector and the Svoboda party, to topple a pro-Russian Ukrainian regime and install a regime militarily aligned on NATO directly on Russia’s borders. NATO’s aggressive escalation, carried out over the Kremlin’s warnings that it is tearing up all the legal foundations of the highly fragile peace in Europe, threatens a war between NATO and Russia—a major military power with a massive arsenal of nuclear weapons. This reflects the intensifying international contradictions tearing at European and world capitalism, which can be fought only by unifying the international working class against the danger of imperialist war.
The Soviet Union defeated Hitler and his army in WWII. The so called "allied" never got over that and had to create the "Cold War" against Russia for decades following WWII. A similar situation is happening all over again today. And again Russia formidable natural resources are what the EU 27 member states and the USA mercenaries from the White House want to take away from Russia. They are jealous, poor and hungry, and economically bankrupted. And again we see EU, UN and the USA White House trying to re-write the history books for the generations to come, much like Churchill has done in his life. Telling the truth was not a part of his upbringings and education. Today, concerning Syria and the Ukraine, the media industry is producing countless lies to the population in the so called Allied nations.
Over time Russians showed the world they were better people then any of the people in the so called Allied nations. During WW II, Russian soldiers, all Russian people, were all heroes and ought to be thank for saving the world from Hitler's invasion. Thank you Russia! You are the best of all Peoples on Earth. Global Community approves of what you are doing to protect Russians outside Russia. Dont trust the UN to do it for you. Protect your formidable natural resources and the global life-support systems. You are the only nation left capable of doing so. Global Community is proud of what you have become and achieved. The Soviet Union defeated Hitler and his army in WWII. The so called "allied" never got over that and had to create the "Cold War" against Russia for decades following WWII.
The more than a half billion people from the EU 27 member states behave much like piranhas. Piranhas have a reputation as ferocious predators that hunt their prey in schools as a means of cooperative hunting. That is why the 27 member states are re-uniting themselves as the EU, a new Union of predators badly needing of a new prey, a fresh body to eat, and Russians and Russia will do just fine they say. After the feeding frenzy of the piranhas is done, only bones are left afterward. Once all of Russia has been 'done' with to the bones and falling apart, guess what happens next! Russians and Russia will be divided. Not even a Soul left! The Russia we know today will become much like the 27 member states: divided, hungry, scared of not having a future for themselves, and the Russian brand gone forever.
Over the past decades, global warming of the planet and climate change were problems mostly created in Britain and in the USA. They created the global warming of our planet. Now by invading Russia, the people of the EU member states and the USA would destroy Russia's natural resources and practically burn the Oxygen left in our air making it impossible for all life forms to breath and, yes, that would also mean the end of all civilizations on Earth.
With climate change and the melting of the North ice, Russia will enjoy a new land to appreciate for the generations to come. Their future as Russians is good. They should not lose it to the EU. Russians are a responsible people. Russia is a wonderful place to be born in and with a great future ahead of Russians for many generations to come. They should not lose it all to the EU member states desperate and hungry to invade them militarily and economically.
The so called Allied nations of WW II tried to invade the Soviet Union militarily. They failed. Now they are trying again but this time they are more vocal and forceful. They have caused an illegal "coup d'etat" in the Ukraine and tried the same in Syria for the purpose of pushing Russia to react forcefully. We all know the USA mercenaries from the White House are behind the coup d'etat in the Ukraine. We all know Russia resources are again the target of the half billion people from the EU 27 member states and the USA mercenaries.
Let us hope a better world is ahead of us.

Launching the invasion on 24 February, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the president of Russia, told the Russian people his goal was to demilitarise and de-Nazify Ukraine, to protect people subjected to what he called eight years of bullying and genocide by Ukraine's government. Moscow also made allegations that Ukraine was building a plutonium-based dirty bomb.
The Battle of Donbas is an ongoing military engagement which began on 18 April 2022 between the armed forces of Russia and Ukraine for control of the Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv regions. The word Donbas is an abbreviation of "Donets Coal Basin". The Donbas formed the historical border between the Zaporizhian Sich and the Don Cossack Host. It has been an important coal mining area since the late 19th century, when it became a heavily industrialised territory. Parts of the Donbas itself are controlled by separatist groups as a result of the Russo-Ukrainian War: the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic. Russia's offensive is annexing the entire Donetsk and Luhansk regions to the Russian-backed quasi-states of Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LPR).
In March 2014, following the Euromaidan protest movement and the resulting Revolution of Dignity, large swaths of the Donbas became obsessed by pro-Russian and anti-government unrest. This unrest later grew into a war between Ukrainian government forces and Russian and pro-Russian separatists affiliated with the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk "People's Republics", who were supported by Russia as part of the broader Russo-Ukrainian War, which is still ongoing as of 2022. Both republics went internationally unrecognised until their recognition by Russia in 2022. The conflict rendered the Donbas split between Ukrainian-held territory, constituting about two-thirds of the region, and Russian-held territory, constituting about one-third. Russia went on to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, including the Ukrainian-government controlled part of the Donbas in February 2022.
Before the war, the city of Donetsk (then the fifth largest city in Ukraine) had been considered the unofficial capital of the Donbas. At the end of the 18th century, many Russians, Serbs and Greeks migrated to the region. Tsarist Russia named the conquered territories "New Russia" and the citizens "Little Russians". As the Industrial Revolution took hold across Europe, the vast coal resources of the region, discovered in 1721, began to be exploited in the mid-late 19th century. It was at this point that the name Donbas came into use, derived from the term "Donets Coal Basin" referring the area along the river Donets where most of the coal reserves were found. The rise of the coal industry led to a population boom in the region, largely driven by Russian settlers. With development of cities in this region, large amounts of landless peasants from peripheral governorates of the Russian Empire came looking for work.
According to the Russian Imperial Census of 1897, "Little Russians" accounted for 52.4% of the population of the region, whilst ethnic Russians constituted 28.7%. Ethnic Greeks, Germans, Jews and Tatars also had a significant presence in the Donbas, particularly in the district of Mariupol, where they constituted 36.7% of the population. Despite this, Russians constituted the majority of the industrial workforce. Cities were often inhabited solely by Russians who had come seeking work in the region's heavy industries. Ukrainians who did move to the cities for work were quickly assimilated into the Russian-speaking worker class.
The Donbas was greatly affected by the Second World War. In the lead-up to the war, the region was racked by poverty and food shortages. War preparations resulted in an extension of the working day for factory labourers, whilst those who deviated from the heightened standards were arrested. Nazi Germany's leader Adolf Hitler viewed the resources of the Donbas as critical to Operation Barbarossa. As such, the Donbas suffered under Nazi occupation during 1941 and 1942. Thousands of industrial labourers were deported to Germany for use in factories. In what was then called Stalino Oblast, now Donetsk Oblast, 279,000 civilians were killed over the course of the occupation. In Voroshilovgrad Oblast, now Luhansk Oblast, 45,649 were killed.
The 1943 Donbas strategic offensive by the Red Army (the army and air force of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic and, after 1922, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.) resulted in the return of Donbas to Soviet control. The war had taken its toll, leaving the region both destroyed and depopulated. During the reconstruction of the Donbas after the end of the Second World War, large numbers of Russian workers arrived to repopulate the region, further altering the population balance. In 1926, 639,000 ethnic Russians resided in the Donbas. By 1959, the ethnic Russian population was 2.55 million. Russification was further advanced by the 1958–59 Soviet educational reforms, which led to the near elimination of all Ukrainian-language schooling in the Donbas. By the time of the Soviet Census of 1989, more than 45% of the population of the Donbas reported their ethnicity as Russian. In 1990, the Interfront of the Donbass was founded as a movement against Ukrainian independence.
In October 1991, a congress of South-Eastern deputies from all levels of government took place in Donetsk, where delegates demanded federalisation. The region's economy deteriorated severely in the ensuing years. By 1993, industrial production had collapsed, and average wages had fallen by 80% since 1990. The Donbas fell into crisis, with many accusing the new central government in Kyiv of mismanagement and neglect. Donbas coal miners went on strike in 1993, causing a conflict that was described by historian Lewis Siegelbaum as "a struggle between the Donbas region and the rest of the country". This strike was followed by a 1994 consultative referendum on various constitutional questions in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts. These questions included whether Russian should be declared an official language of Ukraine, whether Russian should be the language of administration in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, whether Ukraine should federalise. None of the propositions were adopted. Nevertheless, the Donbas strikers gained many economic concessions from Kyiv, allowing for an alleviation of the economic crisis in the region. Small strikes continued throughout the 1990s. Some subsidies to Donbas heavy industries were eliminated, and many mines were closed by the Ukrainian government because of liberalising reforms pushed for by the World Bank. Leonid Danylovych Kuchma is a Ukrainian politician who was the second President of independent Ukraine from 19 July 1994 to 23 January 2005. President Kuchma gave economic aid to the Donbas, using development money to gain political support in the region. He won the presidential election with support from the Donbas and other areas in eastern Ukraine. During the 2010 Ukrainian presidential election, most people in Donbas voted for Viktor Yanukovych.
Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych served as the fourth president of Ukraine from 2010 until he was removed from office in the Maidan Revolution in 2014, after a long series of protests in support of the European Union by diverse civil-society groups. From 2006 to 2007 he was the prime minister of Ukraine; he also served in this post from November 2002 to January 2005, with a short interruption in December 2004.
After rejecting the Ukrainian-European Association Agreement, Yanukovych was ousted from office in the Revolution of Dignity. He lived in exile in Russia. However, the election was fraught with allegations of electoral fraud and voter intimidation. This caused widespread citizen protests and Kyiv's Independence Square was occupied in what became known as the Orange Revolution. The Ukrainian Supreme Court nullified the runoff election and ordered a second runoff. Yanukovych served as Prime Minister for a second time from 4 August 2006 to 18 December 2007. After the Orange Revolution demonstrations going on at the time in Kyiv to negotiate a compromise. After the Orange Revolution's victory, some of the organisers of the congress were charged with "encroachment upon the territorial integrity and inviolability of Ukraine", but no convictions were made.
Yanukovych was elected president in 2010, defeating Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. The election was judged free and fair by international observers. November 2013 saw the beginning of a series of events that led to his ousting as president. Yanukovych rejected a pending EU association agreement, choosing instead to pursue a Russian loan bailout and closer ties with Russia. This led to protests and the occupation of Kyiv's Independence Square, a series of events dubbed the Euromaidan by proponents of aligning Ukraine toward the European Union. In January 2014, this developed into deadly clashes in Independence Square and in other areas across Ukraine, as Ukrainian citizens confronted the special police force Berkut and other special police units. In February 2014, Ukraine appeared to be on the brink of civil war, as violent clashes between protesters and special police forces led to many deaths and injuries. On 21 February 2014, Yanukovych claimed that, after lengthy discussions, he had reached an agreement with the opposition. Later that day, however, he left the capital for Kharkiv, saying his car was shot at as he left Kyiv, and travelling next to Crimea, and eventually to exile in southern Russia.
Yanukovych conducted several press conferences. In one of these, he declared himself to remain "the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state elected in a free vote by Ukrainian citizens". On 18 June 2015, Yanukovych was officially deprived of the title of president by the parliament. On 24 January 2019, he was sentenced in absentia to thirteen years' imprisonment for high treason by a Ukrainian court.
A brief attempt at gaining autonomy by pro-Viktor Yanukovych politicians and officials was made in 2004 during the Orange Revolution. The South-East Ukrainian Autonomous Republic was intended to consist out of nine South Eastern regions of Ukraine. The project was initiated on 26 November 2004 by the Luhansk Oblast Council, and was discontinued the next month by the Donetsk Oblast Council. On 28 November 2004, in Sievierodonetsk, the so-called First All-Ukraine Congress Of People's Deputies And Local-Council's Deputies took place, organised by the supporters of Viktor Yanukovych. A total of 3,576 delegates from 16 oblasts of Ukraine, Crimea and Sevastopol took part in the congress, claiming to represent over 35 million citizens. Moscow Mayor Yurii Luzhkov and an advisor from the Russian Embassy were present in the presidium. There were calls for the appointment of Viktor Yanukovych as president of Ukraine or prime minister, for declaring of martial law in Ukraine, dissolution of the Verkhovna Rada, creation of self-defence forces, and for the creation of a federative South-Eastern state with its capital in Kharkiv.
In other parts of Ukraine during the 2000s, the Donbas was often perceived as having a "thug culture", as being a "Soviet cesspool", and as "backward". Writing in the Narodne slovo newspaper in 2005, commentator Viktor Tkachenko said that the Donbas was home to "fifth columns", and that speaking Ukrainian in the region was "not safe for one's health and life". It was also portrayed as being home to pro-Russian separatism. The Donbas is home to a significantly higher number of cities and villages that were named after Communist figures compared to the rest of Ukraine. Despite this portrayal, surveys taken across that decade and during the 1990s showed strong support for remaining within Ukraine and insignificant support for separatism.
From the beginning of March 2014, demonstrations by pro-Russian and anti-government groups took place in the Donbas, as part of the aftermath of the Revolution of Dignity and the Euromaidan movement. These demonstrations, which followed the annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation, and which were part of a wider group of concurrent pro-Russian protests across southern and eastern Ukraine, escalated in April 2014 into a war between the Russian-backed separatist forces of the self-declared Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR respectively), and the Ukrainian government.
Amid that conflict, the self-proclaimed republics held referendums on the status of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts on 11 May 2014. In the referendums, viewed as illegal by Ukraine and undemocratic by the international community, about 90% voted for the independence of the DPR and LPR.
The initial protests in the Donbas were largely native expressions of discontent with the new Ukrainian government. Russian involvement at this stage was limited to its voicing of support for the demonstrations. The emergence of the separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk began as a small fringe group of the protesters, independent of Russian control. This unrest, however, only evolved into an armed conflict because of Russian military backing for what had been a marginal group as part of the Russo-Ukrainian War. The conflict was thus, in the words of historian Hiroaki Kuromiya, "secretly engineered and cleverly camouflaged by outsiders".
There was limited support for separatism in the Donbas before the outbreak of the war, and little evidence of support for an armed uprising. Russian claims that Russian speakers in the Donbas were being persecuted or even subjected to " genocide" by the Ukrainian government, forcing its hand to intervene. Ukrainian troops in the Donbas, March 2015. Fighting continued through the summer of 2014, and by August 2014, the Ukrainian "Anti-Terrorist Operation" was able to vastly shrink the territory under the control of the pro-Russian forces, and came close to regaining control of the Russo-Ukrainian border. In response to the deteriorating situation in the Donbas, Russia abandoned what has been called its " hybrid war" approach, and began a conventional invasion of the region. As a result of the Russian invasion, DPR and LPR insurgents regained much of the territory they had lost during the Ukrainian government's preceding military offensive.
Only this Russian intervention prevented an immediate Ukrainian resolution to the conflict. This forced the Ukrainian side to seek the signing of a ceasefire agreement. Called the Minsk Protocol, this was signed on 5 September 2014. As this failed to stop the fighting, another agreement, called Minsk II was signed on 12 February 2015. This agreement called for the eventual reintegration of the Donbas republics into Ukraine, with a level of autonomy. The aim of the Russian intervention in the Donbas was to establish pro-Russian governments that, upon reincorporation into Ukraine, would facilitate Russian interference in Ukrainian politics. The Minsk agreements were thus highly favourable to the Russian side, as their implementation would accomplish these goals.
The conflict led to a vast exodus from the Donbas: half the region's population were forced to flee their homes. A UN OHCHR report released on 3 March 2016 stated that, since the conflict broke out in 2014, the Ukrainian government registered 1.6 million internally displaced people who had fled the Donbas to other parts of Ukraine. Over 1 million were said to have fled elsewhere, mostly to Russia. At the time of the report, 2.7 million people were said to continue to live in areas under DPR and LPR control, comprising about one-third of the Donbas.
Despite the Minsk agreements, low-intensity fighting along the line of contact between Ukrainian government and Russian-controlled areas continued until 2022. Since the start of the conflict there have been 29 ceasefires, each intended to remain in force indefinitely, but none of them stopped the violence. This led the war to be referred to as a "frozen conflict". On 11 January 2017, the Ukrainian government approved a plan to reintegrate the occupied part of the Donbas and its population into Ukraine. The plan would give Russian-backed political entities partial control of the electorate and has been described by Zerkalo Nedeli as "implanting a cancerous cell into Ukraine's body." This was never implemented, and was subject to public protest.
A 2018 survey by Sociological Group "Rating" of residents of the Ukrainian-controlled parts of the Donbas found that 82% of respondents believed there was no discrimination against Russian-speaking people in Ukraine. Only 11% saw some evidence of discrimination. The same survey also found that 71% of respondents did not support Russia's military intervention to "protect" the Russian-speaking population, with only 9% offering support for that action. Another survey by Rating, conducted in 2019, found that only 23% of those Ukrainians polled supported granting the Donbas autonomous status, whilst 34% supported a ceasefire and "freezing" the conflict, 23% supported military action to recover the occupied Donbas territories, and 6% supported separating these territories from Ukraine.
Russia officially recognised the independence of the Donetsk and Luhansk republics on 21 February 2022, effectively killing the Minsk agreements. Russia subsequently launched a new, full-scale invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022, which Russian president Vladimir Putin said was intended to "protect" the people of the Donbas from the "abuse" and "genocide" of the Ukrainian government. The DPR and LPR joined Russia's operation; the separatists stated that an operation to capture the entirety of Donetsk Oblast and Luhansk Oblast had begun.
Russian President Vladimir Putin chairs a Security Council meeting via videoconference at the Novo-Ogaryovo residence outside Moscow, Russia, Thursday, April 7, 2022. He made clear that the Donbas includes Luhansk and Donetsk, two ethnically Russian-speaking regions that Putin declared independent before launching a full-scale military assault on his neighboring country.The Russian leader has accused Ukraine of “Russophobia” and said ethnic Russians are specifically being killed in the Donbas, where Russian-backed separatists have been fighting a rebellion against Ukrainian troops since Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine in 2014. Putin’s claims of genocide in the Donbas are being contested at the International Court of Justice, with Ukrainian officials arguing it was used as a false pretext to invade their country.
The recognition of the separatists is born of the Kremlin’s frustration with the Ukrainian leadership and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s failure to carry out the terms of the Minsk agreements, which ended the heaviest fighting in eastern Ukraine in 2015 and would have entailed compromise with the rebels; as well as the shutdowns of Russian-language TV stations and the arrest of Viktor Medvedchuk, an oligarch and politician widely seen as friendly to Russia.
Putin hoped for the Minsk accords’ implementation. He lost his hope starting with Zelenskyy’s repression against Medvedchuk a year ago, and ending with the dissatisfying reactions of the West and Ukraine to Russian coercive diplomacy recently. It’s a part of the strategy of gradual destabilisation of Ukraine, a much smarter strategy for Putin than the all-out ‘imminent invasion’.”
While Russia says it is ready to return to the Minsk accords’ framework, Ukraine “is shortsightedly relieved to proclaim it’s dead”.
The tense standoff between Russia, and Ukraine and Western governments sharply escalated on Monday night as Russian President Vladimir Putin recognised two breakaway regions held in eastern Ukraine by pro-Russian rebels as independent states and ordered troops into the territories.
“I deem it necessary to make a decision that should have been made a long time ago – to immediately recognise the independence and sovereignty of the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR),” he said in a televised speech.
Aside from Russia, the DPR and LNR have also been recognised by Abkhazia and South Ossetia, while on Tuesday the Syrian government said it supported Putin’s move to recognise them and would cooperate with them.
Putin’s announcement comes after a meeting of the presidential Security Council and paves the way for Russia to openly send troops and weapons to the long-running conflict pitting Ukrainian forces against Moscow-backed rebels.
Putin on Wednesday said the “tragedy” of life for people in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine prompted his decision to invade that country, and he vowed to return life there to “normal.”
A 2015 peace deal ended large-scale fighting, but violence has simmered and has seen a spike in recent weeks amid the wider crisis. In a lengthy televised address, Putin described Ukraine as an integral part of Russia’s history and said eastern Ukraine was ancient Russian lands and that he was confident that the Russian people would support his decision.
He said that Ukraine never had a tradition of genuine statehood and complained that post-Soviet Ukraine had wanted everything it could from Moscow without doing anything in Putin announced his decision in phone calls to the leaders of Germany and France, who voiced disappointment, the Kremlin said, and was later shown on state television signing the decree. Moscow’s move could torpedo a last-minute bid for a summit with US President Joe Biden to prevent Russia from invading Ukraine. Russia denies any plan to attack its neighbour, but it has threatened unspecified “military-technical” action unless it receives sweeping security guarantees, including a promise that Ukraine will never join NATO.
Today, year 2022, the world is again witnessing a major war against Russia security by refusing to make Ukraine a neutral nation. The USA and NATO want to pack up Ukraine with a military base capable of destroying Russia. More than one-third of the 90,000 U.S. troops in Europe are stationed in Germany. But the Pentagon shifted some of those personnel to shore up NATO's eastern flank and would plan to invade Russia in some no so distant future. Once more! NATO, European nations, the USA, the West, threatening to eventually invade Russia.
As the war in Ukraine keeps going on and never ending, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has realized that his decision of going to war with his closest neighbors, the Russian people, has caused the destruction of a large part of the land of Ukraine, killed many Ukrainians, and over 2 million Ukraine hungry refugees moving to Poland and other EU nations. Than Zelenskyy asked NATO, the EU, and the USA, why are you not attacking Russia?!? I put my faith in you to save me. What do you mean, we didn't?" the West replied. We proposed a diplomatic solution to you. You wanted us to fight your local domestic problems for you. Could you not get along with your closest neighbors, your resource providers, Russians? Why?
Over the centuries, the history of the many European nations was paved with bloody wars against one another and, eventually these wars were taken overseas in North America, China, India and Africa. People overseas never wanted war but were invaded anyway by nations such as Britain, Spain, France and the USA. Europeans have always been bloody savages wherever they traveled to. They were "ethic minus" people and still are today. Let us define here the expression "ethic minus" to mean a population with absolutely no ethic whatsoever and whose people are very dangerous and deadly. Diplomacy was never a part of their upbringings and education. Conflicts and war were the only ways they knew to solve problems. And that is why Ukraine and the EU nations are creating conflicts with Russia, their closet neighbors and resource providers.
Not so long ago, the mounting tensions in eastern Ukraine testify to the recklessness of the EU, America and NATO powers, because they are risking war with Russia itself in pursuit of its economic and geo-political goals. The West gave the people of Ukraine the false hope of fighting their war for them. Perhaps a historical perspective of the West over time may explain better the reality of the worse case scenarios now happening in the EU every since WWII.
Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych was a Ukrainian politician who served as the fourth president of Ukraine from 2010. Yanukovych was elected president in 2010, defeating Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. The election was judged free and fair by international observers.
Ukrainian presidents are frequently asked by individual citizens for help in solving their personal problems (sometimes successfully); in 2012, (then) president Yanukovych received about 10,000 to 12,000 letters from people every month. By-passing local governments is an ages-old practice in Ukraine. From 2006 to 2007 he was the prime minister of Ukraine; he also served in this post from November 2002 to January 2005, with a short interruption in December 2004. Yanukovych served as the governor of Donetsk Oblast, a province in eastern Ukraine, from 1997 to 2002. He was Prime Minister of Ukraine from 21 November 2002 to 7 December 2004 and from 27 December 2004 to 5 January 2005, under President Leonid Kuchma.
After rejecting the Ukrainian-European Association Agreement, Yanukovych was ousted from office in the Revolution of Dignity. However, the election was fraught with allegations of electoral fraud and voter intimidation. This caused widespread citizen protests and Kyiv's Independence Square was occupied in what became known as the Orange Revolution. The Ukrainian Supreme Court nullified the runoff election and ordered a second runoff.
November 2013 saw the beginning of a series of events that led to his ousting as president. Yanukovych rejected a pending EU association agreement, choosing instead to pursue a Russian loan bailout and closer ties with Russia. This led to protests and the occupation of Kyiv's Independence Square, a series of events dubbed the "Euromaidan" by proponents of aligning Ukraine toward the European Union. In January 2014, this developed into deadly clashes in Independence Square and in other areas across Ukraine, as Ukrainian citizens confronted the Berkut and other special police units. In February 2014, Ukraine appeared to be on the brink of civil war, as violent clashes between protesters and special police forces led to many deaths and injuries. On 21 February 2014, Yanukovych claimed that, after lengthy discussions, he had reached an agreement with the opposition. Later that day, however, he left the capital for Kharkiv, saying his car was shot at as he left Kyiv, and travelling next to Crimea, and eventually to exile in southern Russia.
On 22 February 2014, the Ukrainian parliament voted to remove him from his post and schedule new elections on the grounds that he "has restrained himself from performing his constitutional duties" and effectively resigned, rather than by following the impeachment process for criminal acts under Article 108 of the Ukrainian constitution. Parliament set May 25 as the date for the special election to select his replacement, and, two days later, issued a warrant for his arrest, accusing him of "mass killing of civilians." After his departure, Yanukovych conducted several press conferences. In one of these, he declared himself to remain "the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state elected in a free vote by Ukrainian citizens". On 18 June 2015, Yanukovych was officially deprived of the title of president by the parliament. On 24 January 2019, he was sentenced in absentia to thirteen years' imprisonment for high treason by a Ukrainian court.
The protests against the Kiev regime by pro-Russian forces in sections of Ukraine that were Yanukovych's political base are the result of the Western powers' decision to illegally oust his regime, utilizing as their shock troops ultra-nationalist and fascist forces.
The 2019 election took place on 31 March, with a run-off on 21 April. As a result of this election, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a former actor and comedian with no prior political experience has become the sixth President of Ukraine, scoring a record 73.22% of the popular vote in the run-off against the incumbent Petro Poroshenko. Zelenskyy is the first Jewish president; with Volodymyr Groysman as Prime Minister, Ukraine became the first country other than Israel to have a Jewish head of state and head of government.
The Zelenskyy regime was installed by Washington and its European allies. It includes ministers from the fascistic Svoboda party. It has agreed to impose International Monetary Fund dictated energy price increases that will devastate eastern Ukraine's industries and workers. The USA has a lot to gain from having installed this new regime in Ukraine. America’s billionaires are now spending 20 times more on political contributions than they did a decade ago, adding to their influence in Washington. Billionaires have an outsized influence on all world economies, politics and society, including Ukraine. It is well known in the USA that billionaires have used their money to bend government policy in their favor.
And that is what happened in the 2019 Ukraine election that brought up the Zelenskyy regime and now is controlled by Washington. In every way, the Zelenskyy regime is controlled by America’s billionaires, a form of the most pervasive and influential oligarchy as it began by its influence over the entire EU nations and now is set to control NATO, the EU, Israel, the West, for the only purpose of putting down Russia and, in fact taking over all of Russia resources for the benefits of America’s billionaires. The main goal of America's type of oligarchy is that it puts power in the hands of people (the 1%) who are "ethic minus" and can make decisions for their own self benefits and not for the people.
On September 13, 1962, USA President Kennedy wrote: "If at any time the Communist build-up in Cuba were to endanger or interfere with our security in any way, or if Cuba should ever become an offensive military base of significant capacity for the Soviet Union, then this country, the USA, will do whatever must be done to protect its own". And now the USA military is doing a similar attack onto Russia to destroy Russia and grab its resources including its land, and killing the Russian people. Russia has the right to protect its own land and people. The USA, NATO, and the European nations, the EU, have no right to invade Russia by using Ukraine as a stepping place to invade Russia. They all refused the diplomatic solution of making Ukraine a neutral nation not threatening and menacing Russia with NATO and USA military bases in the Ukraine. offered by Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the president of Russia. Ukraine and the "West" refused a peaceful solution and chose to send major military personnel with the most destructive and deadly equipment. They refuse to make Ukraine a neutral nation and would rather provoke and create a war-like state with Ukraine against Russia. Russians showed the world they were better people then any of the people in the so called Allied nations, the West. Russian soldiers, all Russian people, were all heroes and ought to be thank for saving the world from Hitler's invasion. Thank you Russia! You are the best of all Peoples on Earth. Global Community approves of what you are doing to protect Russians outside Russia. Dont trust the UN to do it for you. Protect your formidable natural resources and the global life-support systems. You are the only nation left capable of doing so. Global Community is proud of what you have become and achieved. Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev ended the Cold War in 1991 and promoted Peace in the world. He was the greatest of all Soviet leaders, and he is my personal hero. Russians are all my heroes for what they all have endured during and after WW II. The Soviet Union saved the world. Now let Russia save the planet, and all life on Earth. You can do it better than anyone else in the world. If there has to be a third world war, Global Community wants Russia to survive us all because you are truly a better People than all of us put together, than all Life has ever created through the evolutionary process. Russians are the best people the human species has ever had so far. God bless you Russia, and God bless all Russians.
To explain what truly happened during WW II, it was not just Hitler wanting to invade the Soviet Union and acquire its formidable natural resources, it was also all of Europe with the same desire of enriching itself. Europeans also thought that the people from the Soviet Union were communists and, therefore, should not be allowed to have all those resources. Right from the start, on June 22, 1941, Germany, Italy and Romania invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa. They were joined shortly after by Finland and Hungary. All the other European nations never stopped Hitler from invading the Soviet Union. They gave up quickly to Hitler's plan. And that alone makes them on Hitler side for the invasion of the Soviet Union. Now British and American Generals would have thought ahead concerning the consequences of Hitler invading the Soviet Union. That is very human to think ahead! Those same Generals would have like nothing better than to see the Soviet Union defeated by Hitler. Afterward, a weakened German Army could be easily defeated by the USA. And of course British and Americans would have got all they wanted: the Soviet Union formidable natural resources. And that is the reason why D-Day happened so late during WW II. After Churchill and Roosevelt saw that Stalin was winning WW II, they decided to have their D-Day thing to save face for history and so make believe to the world they had something to do with winning WW II. It was only years later, after Stalin had defeated Hitler that the so called Allies decided to have their D-Day in France. In France!? At the time, most Germans in France were so depressed of losing the war that it would have been no big deal about putting down their arms, and they would have glady surrendered if only Churchill had knew anything about diplomacy. In WW I, Churchill sent 200,000 soldiers to their deaths because his little finger told him he had the right strategy. Churchill cooked his own books explaining what happened during both wars, WW I and WW II. Again in WW II, after the Soviet Union defeated the German Army, instead of asking the USA to gas Germany, Churchill could have easily asked German soldiers in France to surrender. If Churchill had got any training whatsoever in diplomacy he could have avoided the killing of thousands of British, French, Canadian and German soldiers, and, of course, countless civilians and refugees including Jews and Christians.
It is not saying here that Churchill and Roosevelt were cowards. It is not saying here that France military surrendered very quickly to Hitler, and that French soldiers were cowards. No! It is not saying the so called Allies were cowards, including the USA mercenaries. They just waited until D-Day to show up. The Soviet Union had already defeated Hitler and his European acolytes. The so called Allied nations were hoping Hitler would destroy completely the Soviet Union, and then Hitler Army would be so weak that the so called Allied nations would just need to bomb them and win the war and get their hands on Soviet Union natural resources. But that did not happen. Throughout WW II, the United States behaved like a nation of mercenaries. They would help only if they were getting pay from Britain. Later on D-Day, the USA decided it was in their own national interests to gas bomb Germany. And they did just that. Mercenaries dont fight for freedom, justice and democracy. They get pay to do a job, and that is all. But bombing Germany when the German Army had already been defeated is a crime against humanity. Roosevelt never had a single drop of diplomacy in his blood, and neither did the US Congress officials. The prospect of Americans getting their hands on Russia' formidable natural resources, had Hitler defeated the Soviet Army, was to great to let pass away this opportunity. Americans were opportunists at best, and committed crimes against humanity at worst.
Attempts to portray NATO as a defender of world order and international law are transparent frauds. Even leaving aside the fact that the NATO powers operate global torture and drone murder operations, they have time and again—in the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, or last year’s war scare in Syria—sought to wage aggressive war despite opposition at the UN Security Council, in violation of international law. As for the current crisis in Ukraine, it exploded after the NATO powers brazenly backed a putsch in Kiev, led by fascist groups like the Right Sector and the Svoboda party, to topple a pro-Russian Ukrainian regime and install a regime militarily aligned on NATO directly on Russia’s borders. NATO’s aggressive escalation, carried out over the Kremlin’s warnings that it is tearing up all the legal foundations of the highly fragile peace in Europe, threatens a war between NATO and Russia—a major military power with a massive arsenal of nuclear weapons. This reflects the intensifying international contradictions tearing at European and world capitalism, which can be fought only by unifying the international working class against the danger of imperialist war.
The war of words between Russia and the United States is soaring these days over the sovereignty of the Crimean peninsula, and the White House officials are constantly directing accusations and excruciating verbal attacks against Kremlin in what seems to be the most serious dispute between Moscow and the West in the recent years. The United States has pulled out all the stops to defeat and isolate Russia diplomatically, and has even gone so far as to impose economic sanctions against the Russian individuals and companies, and excluding Russia from the G8 group of the industrialized nations.
The United States is imparting a clear message by adopting this insincere and hypocritical approach toward Russia, which is also a message to other countries: We can invade your countries, we can kill your citizens, we can rule you tyrannically, we can behave in any way we desire, but if you do something which doesn’t please us, we will impose sanctions on you, we will banish you from international organizations, and we will come down on you like a ton of bricks. This is how the American hypocrisy works…
The USA is invading the world, and the UN can do nothing to stop them. The USA was allowed to invade other nations, change their governments, and has often made lies in speeches to the UN, to the world. Remember what the US representatives told the world at the UN prior to the invasion of Iraq? Lies! All lies! And the leadership of the UN never did anything to reprimand the US representatives and implement hard sanctions for the invasion of Iraq. Ever since its creation in 1947, the USA have given Israel enough WMDs, including nuclear war heads, to destroy the entire Middle East region and no sanctions were ever enforced against Israel and the USA. Israel is not a State, not a nation, not a country, not a global community, not a democracy and not a government. Israel is the most dangerous USA military base outside America on the planet. This USA base has been created and used ever since the end of WW II as a trojan horse to invade the Middle East for its oil and gas resources. They called that the national interests of the USA. Where was the UN leadership? What has the UN done to stop the invasion? Nothing! The UN has never done anything to help humanity. And that is a crime against humanity.
All of these disputes have one thing in common: the conviction of ruling elites around the world that the possession of energy assets -- especially oil and gas deposits -- is essential to prop up national wealth, power, and prestige.
In its quest for security, the U.S. spends more on the military than any other country in the world, certainly much more than the combined military spending of its major rivals, Russia and China. Authorized at over $700 billion in Fiscal Year 2019, and again over $700 billion requested for FY 2020, the DOD budget comprises more than half of all federal discretionary spending each year. With an armed force of more than two million people, 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, and the most advanced military aircraft, the US is more than capable of projecting power anywhere in the globe, and with “Space Command,” into outer-space. Further, the US has been continuously at war since late 2001, with the US military and State Department currently engaged in more than 80 countries in counterterror operations. All this capacity for and use of military force requires a great deal of energy, most of it in the form of fossil fuel.
The real invader in this world of ours happens to be the United States of America. The U.S. military — equally unsuccessfully, equally long-lastingly, equally usefully when it came to the spread of terrorism and of failed or failing states — took action in Libya, Somalia, Yemen (largely but not only via the Saudis), and even Syria. While those might have been considered interventions, not invasions, they were each unbelievably more invasive than anything the domestic right-wing is now calling an invasion on the USA southern border. In 2016, in Syria, for instance, the U.S. Air Force and its allies dropped an estimated 20,000 bombs on the “capital” of the Islamic State, Raqqa, a modest-sized provincial city. In doing so, with the help of artillery and of ISIS suicide bombers, they turned it into rubble. In a similar fashion from Mosul to Fallujah, major Iraqi cities were rubblized. All in all, it’s been quite a record of invasion, intervention, and destruction. Invaders, intruders, disrupters? Talking about undocumented immigrants from south of the USA border (even with the bogus claims that there were “terrorists” among them). When it comes to invasions, we should be chanting “USA! USA!”
Since 2001, the U.S. has succeeded in squandering staggering amounts of taxpayer dollars unsettling a vast swath of the planet, killing startling numbers of people who didn’t deserve to die, driving yet more of them from their homes, and so helping to set in motion the very crisis of migrants and refugees that has roiled both Europe and the United States ever since. The three top countries sending unwanted asylum seekers to Europe have been Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, all deeply embroiled in the cauldron of the American war on terror. Not long ago, a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States was ordered by the President. Those original invasions and interventions were all surrounded by glorious explanations about the bringing of “democracy” to and the “liberation” of various societies, explanations no less bogus than those offered by the El Paso killer to explain his slaughter.
The U.S.-controlled North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) has lost its purpose to continue as a defence alliance. However, its aggressive expansion is endangering world peace and the survival of life on the planet. Despite its irrelevant role, NATO has become part of the U.S. military. Instead of dismantling the once defence alliance, the U.S. pushed to enlarge NATO and expand its boundaries. The U.S. has lured most European nations, including former Warsaw Pact members, the so-called “New Europe”, to join its military. Poland, Hungry and the Czech Republic joined in 1999; Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuanian, Estonia, Slovakia and Romania in 2004, others are waiting in line. Becoming a NATO member proves to be a profit bonanza for U.S.-Israeli weapon industries and arm dealers. All new recruits into NATO are obliged to increase their “defence” budgets to modernise and enlarge their military arsenals at the expense of vital public services.
It is important to remember in mind that the U.S.-NATO demands for expansion have met with opposition from Russia, China – with a legitimate concern against unprovoked threat – and nations such as Germany, the Netherlands and France. Almost all new mini-dictators supported the illegal U.S. aggression against the Iraqi people. They are in complete complicity in the war crimes committed by the regime of George Bush despite overwhelming majority of their citizens’ opposition to U.S. aggression. From the criminal U.S. aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to the ongoing murderous occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, the new European armies have become U.S. foot soldiers serving U.S. imperialist interests.
Planning, organizing and using crisis in Europe and elsewhere, the U.S. cancelled the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM) in order to locate ABMs and to lure more nations to sign up for the system, including Australia, South Korea and Japan.
Under the false pretext of defence against “rogue” states, the U.S. has signed a agreement with Poland to station on Polish soil U.S. “interceptor missiles”. The provocative deal is seen by Russians as a dangerous opportunity for the U.S. to expand its military presence and threat across the world. Poland hailed the deal as a counter to Russian “threat”. Of course Poland is fully aware that the missiles are against Russia not Iran, as the U.S. continues to mislead the public. After Poland, the U.S. is planning to build a twin anti-missile radar system in the Czech Republic. Many Poles as well as Czechs are against the deals and rightly believe their countries are becoming vassal states of a dangerous U.S. militarism.
Ever since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. aim has always been a quest for imperialist domination of the globe through U.S. militarism, including the establishment of 1200 U.S. military bases in strategic areas of the world. The U.S. policy of destabilising Russia and undermining Russia’s integration with Europe is aimed at controlling Eurasia’s natural resources .
The events of 9/11 provided the U.S. with a pretext to justify the U.S. war on Islam and a global imperialist expansion. It is hard to believe that the unprovoked aggression by Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili against the semi-independent district of South Ossetia wasn’t engineered by the U.S. ruling class in Washington. Russia has a legitimate right to protect its citizens. Most Ossetians are Russian citizens and do not want to be dominated by a racist Georgia. Russia’s response to Saakachvili’s aggression was swift and in full compliance with international laws. Saakashvili’s army of mercenaries – trained and armed by the U.S. and Israel – has suffered a deserving humiliating defeat that should be a lesson to all those “new” European vassals who think they can participate in U.S. war crimes and count on U.S. help.
The U.S. ruling class, the Bush regime in particular, had no moral standing whatsoever to criticize Russia for protecting Russian nationals and defending South Ossetia against unprovoked aggression. After more than five years of murderous Occupation, the Bush regime was directly responsible for the premeditated killing of more than 1.3 million innocent Iraqi civilians. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were imprisoned and tortured on regular basis, and at leas 5 million Iraqis have been displaced as refugees living in appalling conditions. The entire sovereign nation of Iraq was destroyed in a premeditated act of aggression justified by outright lies. Moreover, despite the overwhelming majority of the Iraqi people’s opposition to the Occupation, the Bush regime refused to withdraw U.S. troops and mercenaries from Iraq and end the murderous Occupation of their nation. It is obvious that Western governments and their mainstream media are demonising Russia even if Russia is not the aggressor. NATO is trying to make a victim of an aggressor and whitewash a criminal regime - save a collapsing regime - and is taking a path to the rearmament of the current leaders in Georgia. Saakashvili as perpetrator of war crimes has become the victime by embarking on an ill-advised act of aggression not dissimilar from U.S. recent acts of aggression. World peace is greatly served by multilateralism and international institutions without an aggressive U.S. military expansion. The transformation of NATO into a tool of U.S. imperialism is endangering the survival of the planet.
All weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) should have been phased out a long time ago. Why are the USA still holding the world hostage with its 40,000 nuclear war heads, and biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction? What have you ever done to help the phasing out of WMDs? Now several nations, including North Korea and Iran feel threatened just like everyone else and will refuse to be invaded. They would rather take on the US. Russia and China will also refuse to be invaded.
The United Nations had no right to create the State of Israel. They forced their way into a one billion Muslims and have done ever since. The UN along with the United States and Israel, are an invading force, a colonization drive in the same way as the British have done after World War I. The UN committed an illegal and arbitrary act by creating the State of Israel.
Furthermore, our world is facing crises of freshwater, food, deforestation, ocean health, and destruction of the global Life-support systems. Moreover, the USA military, and its over 1200 military bases spread all over the world, is adding war to the world and causing continuous destruction and pollution. We need leadership in the protection of all our natural resources, in peril because of what we do and what that does to our planet. We are facing a fresh water crisis. We are facing a food crisis. We are facing a crisis over deforestation. And we are facing crises in our oceans. While carbon emissions from fossil fuels pollute the air, land and our oceans, we are facing the climate change crisis. Now is the time to press for a sound Global Civilizational State leadership.
Now Global Community claims that all Lifeforms are important and included as part of global ethics. It is not just about 'humanity survival' but about 'all lifeforms survival' we are fighting for. The treatment of all lifeforms provides a clear example of the practical value of global ethics. In the Western world (and in contrast with certain Eastern traditions) lifeforms other than human beings have long been excluded from the domain of moral concern. They have been bred up and killed for food and clothing, captured and dissected in the name of science, and sometimes hunted for pure pleasure. This treatment has been justified in several ways. Within the Jewish and Christian religious context, for example, it is taught that God created "animals" for human use, and so we are entitled to do to them as we please. Global Community condemns this behavior because it is morally unacceptable and because each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens must have respect for the community of living beings, for people, other Lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, the air, water and soil.
Another major source of global unsecurity for people is the culture of violence in everyday life as it is shown on television screens and cinemas. The American Way of Life is creating this culture of violence. An american child at age six year old has seen more violence on television than any other child of the Middle East over a life span. This culture of violence infects both industrial and developing countries, rich and poor. This trend of culture of violence must end. The movie and TV industry and the Internet are a threat to global security. The media is responsible for the propagation of violence through communications. Why has government not done anyhting to regulate the media industry? Surely everyone understood that on the Scale of Global Rights security of the people of any nation is more important than the human rights related to the freedom of expression of the media industry. Security of the people and the state is on top of the Scale. It is part of the primordial human rights.
An old preachers' story
In order to really understand the problem humanity is facing right now, today, let me tell you a little story.
A preacher was caught in a horrific flood, and a man in a canoe offered to evacuate him. "No, I put my faith in the Lord to save me," said the preacher. After being forced to the roof of his porch, another man in a speedboat offered assistance. "No, I put my faith in the Lord to save me," he again responded. Eventually forced to the highest point of his chimney, a Coast Guard helicopter attempted rescue but was turned away in the same manner.
The preacher drowned and went before the Lord. "Why didn't you honor my faith and save me?", he asked God. "What do you mean, I didn't?" the Lord replied. "I sent you two boats and a helicopter!!"
As the war in Ukraine keeps going on and never ending, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has realized that his decision of going to war with his closest neighbors, the Russian people, has caused the destruction of a large part of the land of Ukraine, killed many Ukrainians, and over 2 million Ukraine hungry refugees moving to Poland. Than Zelenskyy asked NATO, the EU, and the USA, why are you not attacking Russia?!? I put my faith in you to save me. What do you mean, we didn't?" the West replied. We proposed a diplomatic solution to you. You wanted us to fight your war, your problems, for you. Could you not get along with your closest neighbors, your resource providers, Russians? Why?
After the people of the Soviet Union defeated, practically by themselves, Hitler and his army in WWII, the USA invaded the land of Palestine and created the most dangerous US military base on the planet they called Israel (it was never really a State, a government, a country, or a democracy) to protect USA interests (oil and gas) in the Middle East. Even today, the USA soldiers (they called themselves Israelis) are committing the genocide of the Palestinian people who are the modern descendants of the people who have lived in Palestine over the past centuries. Palestinians have been defending themselves against the invaders ever since WWII. They demanded Justice and never got anywhere. Their world has been attacked, destroyed, and people killed over and over again. Israelis are criminals, and genociders. Perhaps the people of Ukraine will have to live the same fate and hardships as the Palestinian people.
Over the centuries, the history of the many European nations was paved with bloody wars against one another and, eventually these wars were taken overseas in North America, China, India and Africa. People overseas never wanted war but were invaded anyway by nations such as Britain, Spain, and France. Europeans have always been bloody savages wherever they traveled to. They were "ethic minus" people and still are today. Let us define here the expression "ethic minus" to mean a population with absolutely no ethic whatsoever and whose people are very dangerous and deadly. Diplomacy was never a part of their upbringings and education. Conflicts and war were the only ways they knew to solve problems. And that is why Ukraine and the EU nations are creating conflicts with Russia, their closet neighbors and resource providers.
Not so long ago, the mounting tensions in eastern Ukraine testify to the recklessness of the EU, America and NATO powers, because they are risking war with Russia itself in pursuit of its economic and geo-political goals. The West gave the people of Ukraine the false hope of fighting their war for them. Perhaps a historical perspective of the West over time may explain better the reality of the worse case scenarios now happening in the EU every since WWII.
Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych was a Ukrainian politician who served as the fourth president of Ukraine from 2010. Yanukovych was elected president in 2010, defeating Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko. The election was judged free and fair by international observers.
Ukrainian presidents are frequently asked by individual citizens for help in solving their personal problems (sometimes successfully); in 2012, (then) president Yanukovych received about 10,000 to 12,000 letters from people every month. By-passing local governments is an ages-old practice in Ukraine.
He was removed from office in the Revolution of Dignity in 2014. From 2006 to 2007 he was the prime minister of Ukraine; he also served in this post from November 2002 to January 2005, with a short interruption in December 2004. Yanukovych served as the governor of Donetsk Oblast, a province in eastern Ukraine, from 1997 to 2002. He was Prime Minister of Ukraine from 21 November 2002 to 7 December 2004 and from 27 December 2004 to 5 January 2005, under President Leonid Kuchma. Yanukovych first ran for president in 2004: he advanced to the runoff election and was initially declared the winner against former Prime Minister Viktor Yushchenko.
After rejecting the Ukrainian-European Association Agreement, Yanukovych was ousted from office in the Revolution of Dignity. He currently lives in exile in Russia. However, the election was fraught with allegations of electoral fraud and voter intimidation. This caused widespread citizen protests and Kyiv's Independence Square was occupied in what became known as the Orange Revolution. The Ukrainian Supreme Court nullified the runoff election and ordered a second runoff. Yanukovych lost this second election to Yushchenko. He served as Prime Minister for a second time from 4 August 2006 to 18 December 2007, under President Yushchenko.
November 2013 saw the beginning of a series of events that led to his ousting as president. Yanukovych rejected a pending EU association agreement, choosing instead to pursue a Russian loan bailout and closer ties with Russia. This led to protests and the occupation of Kyiv's Independence Square, a series of events dubbed the "Euromaidan" by proponents of aligning Ukraine toward the European Union. In January 2014, this developed into deadly clashes in Independence Square and in other areas across Ukraine, as Ukrainian citizens confronted the Berkut and other special police units. In February 2014, Ukraine appeared to be on the brink of civil war, as violent clashes between protesters and special police forces led to many deaths and injuries. On 21 February 2014, Yanukovych claimed that, after lengthy discussions, he had reached an agreement with the opposition. Later that day, however, he left the capital for Kharkiv, saying his car was shot at as he left Kyiv, and travelling next to Crimea, and eventually to exile in southern Russia.
On 22 February 2014, the Ukrainian parliament voted to remove him from his post and schedule new elections on the grounds that he "has restrained himself from performing his constitutional duties" and effectively resigned, rather than by following the impeachment process for criminal acts under Article 108 of the Ukrainian constitution. Parliament set May 25 as the date for the special election to select his replacement, and, two days later, issued a warrant for his arrest, accusing him of "mass killing of civilians." After his departure, Yanukovych conducted several press conferences. In one of these, he declared himself to remain "the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state elected in a free vote by Ukrainian citizens". On 18 June 2015, Yanukovych was officially deprived of the title of president by the parliament. On 24 January 2019, he was sentenced in absentia to thirteen years' imprisonment for high treason by a Ukrainian court.
The protests against the Kiev regime by pro-Russian forces in sections of Ukraine that were Yanukovych's political base are the result of the Western powers' decision to illegally oust his regime, utilizing as their shock troops ultra-nationalist and fascist forces.
The 2019 election took place on 31 March, with a run-off on 21 April. As a result of this election, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, a former actor and comedian with no prior political experience has become the sixth President of Ukraine, scoring a record 73.22% of the popular vote in the run-off against the incumbent Petro Poroshenko. Zelenskyy is the first Jewish president; with Volodymyr Groysman as Prime Minister, Ukraine became the first country other than Israel to have a Jewish head of state and head of government.
The Zelenskyy regime was installed by Washington and its European allies. It includes ministers from the fascistic Svoboda party. It has agreed to impose International Monetary Fund dictated energy price increases that will devastate eastern Ukraine's industries and workers. The USA has a lot to gain from having installed this new regime in Ukraine. America’s billionaires are now spending 20 times more on political contributions than they did a decade ago, adding to their influence in Washington. Billionaires have an outsized influence on all world economies, politics and society. It is well known in the USA that billionaires have used their money to bend government policy in their favor.
And that is what happened in the 2019 Ukraine election that brought up the Zelenskyy regime and now is controlled by Washington. In every way, the Zelenskyy regime is controlled by America’s billionaires, a form of the most pervasive and influential oligarchy as it began by its influence over the entire EU nations and now is set to control NATO, the EU, Israel, the West, for the only purpose of putting down Russia and, in fact taking over all of Russia resources for the benefits of America’s billionaires. The main goal of America's type of oligarchy is that it puts power in the hands of people (the 1%) who are "ethic minus" and can make decisions for their own self benefits and not for the people.
In the aftermath of World War II, the U.S. government struggled with the Soviet Union for global leadership, influence and security within the context of the Cold War. Under the Eisenhower administration, the U.S. government feared that national security would be compromised by governments propped by the Soviet Union's own involvement in regime change and promoted the domino theory, with later presidents following Eisenhower's precedent. Subsequently, the United States expanded the geographic scope of its actions beyond traditional area of operations, Central America and the Caribbean. Significant operations included the United States and United Kingdom-orchestrated 1953 Iranian coup d'état, the 1961 Bay of Pigs Invasion targeting Cuba, and support for the overthrow of Sukarno by General Suharto in Indonesia. In addition, the U.S. has interfered in the national elections of countries, including Italy in 1948, the Philippines in 1953, and Japan in the 1950s and 1960s as well as Lebanon in 1957. The U.S. performed at least 81 overt and covert known interventions in foreign elections during the period 1946–2000. The U.S. engaged in 64 covert and six overt attempts at regime change during the Cold War.
Following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the United States has led or supported wars to determine the governance of a number of countries. Stated U.S. aims in these conflicts have included fighting the War on Terror, as in the Afghan War, or removing dictatorial and hostile regimes, as in the Iraq War. The Ukraine is certainly a major move by America's type of oligarchy. Zelenskyy is their self-proclaimed champion of the people, and its government is more deeply in the pockets of lobbyists and billionaires than ever before. It was easy for Washington to have duped Ukrainians, and be trusted with whatever power the regime does retain. Now the elites have appropriate even more power for themselves.
Large corporations and the superrich advocate independent central banks and business-friendly trade treaties to score big windfalls. Politicians, academics, and journalists favor a technocratic mode of governance because they think they know what’s best and don’t want the people to meddle. All of this selfishness is effectively cloaked in a pro-market ideology propagated by think tanks and research outfits that are funded by rich donors. Since the roots of the current situation are straightforwardly sinister, the solutions to it are equally simple: the people need to reclaim their power—and abolish technocratic institutions.
The Ukrainian regime and its USA backers are blaming the anti-government protests in eastern Ukraine on Russia and seizing on them to further escalate tensions. The ultimate goal of the USA is not only to take over Ukraine, but to dismember Russia itself. They are intensifying their provocations, threats and sanctions in an attempt to undermine the regime of Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Washington, NATO, and the European powers, the West, have seized on the protests in Eastern Ukraine to step up their war threats against Russia.
Arseniy Yatsenyuk is a Ukrainian politician, economist and lawyer, who served as the Prime Minister of Ukraine from February 2014 to April 2016. There are members of neo-fascism and neo-Nazism movements in the Ukraine government of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk. A Ukrainian nationalist strain runs deep in the new regime. It has been estimated that roughly 1/3 or more of the supporters of the new government come out of xenophobic, anti-Semitic, neo-fascist movements that draw much of their ideological heritage from the Nazi puppet regime that governed Ukraine under German occupation during World War II. That is why Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk announced his resignation, opening the way for new elections that would reflect the country's starkly changed political scene after the ouster of pro-Russian President Viktor Yanukovych. Yatsenyuk, is a supporter of closer ties with Europe and a key participant in the protests that toppled Yanukovych. The Soviet Union defeated Hitler and his army during WWII. By late May 1944, the Soviets had liberated Crimea, and largely expelled Hitler Axis forces from Ukraine. So Russia today would not approve of this new neo-fascist pro-Nazi Ukraine government back by the USA and the EU.
The U.S.A. military is no replacement to the "will of the people," democracy, the rule of law, social justice, and to Global Rights and Global Justice. There is a lesson here to be learned by the White House. When the people of Crimea, Ukraine, chose to be a part of Russia by referendum, you had no right to interfere with sanctions and neither did the EU and UN. Global Community is right demanding the end of subversive military forces such as the United States military and NATO. They are a cancer causing an already out of control glopbal warming of the planet.
To these days, the U.S.A. military has created a link in 1200-strong chain of American military bases in 130 countries, mainly to control and aquire resources of those countries either by economic walfare or military warfare. The USA military is everywhere to invade, destroy, kill, corrupt governments, and de-stabilize the world for profit. According to Washington ways of doing things, the more unstable the world is the better.
What would the U.S.A. military do without conflicts and wars? They create them, and that is what they do best. Of course! No way out of that! They cannot be inactive! And that is what the USA has done in the Ukraine. The USA is responsible for the "coup d'etat" in the Ukraine. The EU and USA, and the West type of oligarchs, want Russia formidable natural resources. By putting in place a friendly government in the Ukraine, the West would have another military base on Ukraine soil to do more offensive incursion into Russia.
People from the EU are hungry for resources, scared because no one else wants to make a free trade deal with them, not even Russia. Russian people know the people from the EU member states. Russians know the EU member states are broke and would not be good partners economically, especially within a free trade deal. Russians know better! And that is another reason why the EU member states dont like Russians. Gush! EU member states are so poor they cheat on the oil and gas flowing by pipelines from Russia to EU member states. To be paid, Russia has to cut off the flow. No wonder EU member states dont like Russia. No wonder EU member states would like to break the agreement they have made with Russia concerning the oil and gas resources. EU member states cannot do business on a fair exchange basis and cannot be trusted. People of the West are therefore "ethic minus".
Over the past, EU member states have been divided into small countries trying to out-do one another. They have done so for centuries, a thousand years...! Why are they all divided into 27 member states? How has that happened? Why? Today they are trying hard to re-unite themselves as the EU. They have been fighting one another over the past centuries but now, being poor, hungry and out of natural resources, they uniting themselves as the EU to fight, invade Russia much like Hitler tried to do during WWII. The people of the EU do not know better than conflicts and war to solve their problems. They are like bad, uneducated children , much like Churchill in WWI and WWII. Churchill upbringings, education, and whiskey were causing him never to use diplomacy as a mean to achieve peace in the world. But members of the EU cannot even agree on a Constitution that would bind themselves as one Union, one community. Just economics they say! But they are broke! What have they got to offer the world that the world would want? Tourism?! They cannot even pay for what Russia has to offer them. Russians know well about that! And EU member states will only buy cheap product and services. We all know that because most of the manufacturing products found in the EU market are manufactured in China, Bangladesh and India where the costs of manufacturing are very low. So how likely a product manufactured in Russia compete successfully in the EU? Not likely! The truth is that people from the EU member states had it good for centuries, and now they are broke. They had their bloody like war way for centuries but now the party is over. They cannot compete globally because they live with values of the old style, the old ways. And China, Bangladesh and India will always out compete them. And they think Russians are a gullible people, credulous and naive. They think Russians dont know about the EU history and how the EU member states got to what they are today: broke, hungry and scared because there is no future globally for them. The EU member states have never learned about the successes of diplomacy. They think conflicts and wars are the only way to deal with problems. But diplomacy with Russia, their closest neighbors and resource providers, Russians, could save them the day.
The EU behaves just like Churchill did during both wars: WW I and WW II. Churchill had no sense of diplomacy whatsoever in his blood and neither do the people of the EU. Churchill behaved very much like cowboys in the old USA: shoot first and ask questions later.
Some people say Churchill upbringings, education, and whiskey were causing him never to use diplomacy as a mean to achieve peace in the world. The truth is that Churchill, Roosevelt and very much all of Europe had their eyes on the Soviet Union formidable natural resources, and peace in the world was never a part of the discussion.
The Soviet Union defeated Hitler and his army in WWII. The so called "allied" never got over that and had to create the "Cold War" against Russia for decades following WWII. A similar situation is happening all over again today. And again Russia formidable natural resources are what the EU 27 member states and the USA mercenaries from the White House want to take away from Russia. Even the USA, a bankrupt nation, cannot hold it together. War and world power have always been their ways of behaving with other nations. They are jealous, poor and hungry, and bankrupted. And again we see EU, UN and the White House trying to re-write the history books for the generations to come, much like Churchill has done in his life. Telling the truth was not a part of his upbringings and education. Today, concerning Ukraine, the media industry is producing countless lies to the population in the so called Allied nations, the West. Brainwashing on steroids! They have no ethics! They are "ethic minus"!
Using violence and conducting a deadly coup d'etat have been the people of the illegal pro-Nazi government of the Ukraine ways to solve problems. Actually, today, they want the USA military, NATO and the EU to solve their problems for them. Not only have they not got what they wanted but they killed thousands of Russians. They thought, and wrongly so, that the United Nations and its USA powerful military would come and solve their local domestic problems for them. Why?!?!
So much for USA involvement in backing pro-Nazi people in the government of Ukraine. Actually, it is very likely that the USA is providing strategic, satellite support, and armaments to the Ukraine military regime. Of course, the USA is totally denying such scenario. The reason is very well known. The more unstable is the world the better it is for America as the war industry in the USA keeps everyone in America working. What Americans fear most is not the global warming of the planet and climate change creating more devastating and destructive events in the world. No! What Americans fears most is not paying his or her bills at home! And that makes Americans people with no ethics. They are "ethic minus".
As for you people of the Ukraine, Russians in Crimea have voted to be with Russia. That is their democratic right. That right should be respected. Dont you know anything at all about true democracy? Sanctions from the international community against Russia had no right here. None whatsoever! And why was the illegal "coup d'etat" that occurred at the beginning of the Ukraine crisis not sanctioned by the United Nations. The UN Charter prohibits such coup d'etat. Global Community does not recognize the illegal government of the Ukraine. Coup d'etats go against global rights on the Scale of Global Rights. They are not permitted!
Tensions between the Western-backed interim government in Kiev and the eastern parts of Ukraine with close economic and linguistic ties to Russia are escalating, posing the threat not only of civil war in Ukraine, but of military conflict between the imperialist powers and Russia.
Pro-Russian protesters in eastern Ukraine’s industrial city of Donetsk set up a “people’s council” and announced the creation of a “republic of Donetsk.”
Three weeks after Crimea voted to secede from Ukraine, the council in Donetsk similarly called for a May 11 referendum on joining Russia and asked Russia to deploy “peacekeepers” to secure it. A statement of the council read: “Without support it will be hard for us to stand against the junta in Kiev… We are addressing Russian President Putin because we can only entrust our security to Russia.”
The people from the EU member states are trying to re-invent themselves as the new way to go: a better people with human rights and being environmentally responsible and, truly, they are doing what they saying they want to do. But today, the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights is already being classified as outdated, no longer capable of sustaining us all globally, and even detrimental to the survival of all life on our planet. The Scale of Global Rights, as promoted by Global Community, is the way to go now, the only way to go, and the EU member states must get on with the rest of the world on this issue. Certainly the EU has no right to incite the people of the Ukraine to join the EU through a coup d'etat, violence and civil war.
The people from EU 27 member states are broke, they have spent all of their assets and resources, they are no longer credible economically, and they are hungry for a new virgin land to rip apart, and to divide as they have done to themselves and to one another over centuries of wars. Russians know better than being "occupied" or "invaded economically". They are not Europeans! They are Russians! They are a responsible people! They are successful! And Russia is the land to protect, to live in! The people from EU 27 member states are divided in 27 different nations because, over the past centuries, they have been at each other throats, at war with one another. They were "ethic minus" people and still are today.
Diplomacy was never a part of their upbringings and education. Conflicts and war were the only ways they knew to solve problems. And that is why they are creating conflicts with Russia. And that is why today these 27 member states of the EU are uniting under the flags of the EU-USA-NATO. Guest what they want to do to Russia: war. They are hungry for Russia natural resources. They would rather steal resources much like the USA has been doing in the Middle East, than paying for them. They dont know how to do business. They are "ethics minus" of the worst kind. Much like Hitler himself!
From WW II, and now the Ukraine: Global Community perspective
On September 1, 1939, the German invasion of Poland started World War II. In July 1940, Stalin completely reorganized the Soviet military, placing himself directly in charge of several military organizations. This gave him complete control of his country's entire war effort; more control than any other leader in World War II.
Later on June 22, 1941, Germany, Italy and Romania invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa. They were joined shortly by Finland and Hungary. The primary targets of this surprise offensive were the Baltic region, Moscow and Ukraine, with the ultimate goal of ending the 1941 campaign near the Arkhangelsk-Astrakhan line, from the Caspian to the White Seas. Hitler's objectives were to eliminate the Soviet Union as a military power, exterminate Communism, generate Lebensraum ("living space") by dispossessing the native population and guarantee access to the strategic resources needed to defeat Germany's remaining rivals.
Although Stalin had received warnings from spies and his generals, he felt that Germany would not attack the Soviet Union until Germany had defeated Britain. If that had been the case, there would be nothing left of Great Britain even today. Hitler had neutralized Britain and felt safe invading the Soviet Union. In the initial hours after the German attack of the Soviet Union commenced, Stalin hesitated, wanting to ensure that the German attack was sanctioned by Hitler, rather than the unauthorized action of a rogue general.
With all the men at the Front, Moscow women dig anti-tank trenches around Moscow in 1941. Russian women worked shoulder-to-shoulder with men in factories, on airfields, and on farms. They built parts for ships and aircraft and manufactured ammunition. They drove buses, taxis, and streetcars. They worked as nurses, drove trucks, repaired airplanes, and performed clerical work. Some were killed in combat or captured by Germans as prisoners of war.
In the first three weeks of the invasion, as the Soviet Union tried to defend against large German advances, it suffered 750,000 casualties, and lost 10,000 tanks and 4,000 aircraft.
A pattern soon emerged where Stalin embraced the Red Army's strategy of conducting multiple offensives, while the Germans overran each of the resulting small, newly gained grounds, dealing the Soviets severe casualties. The most notable example of this was the Battle of Kiev, where over 600,000 Soviet troops were quickly killed, captured or missing.
By the end of 1941, the Soviet military had suffered 4.3 million casualties and the Germans had captured 3.0 million Soviet prisoners, 2.0 million of whom died in German captivity by February 1942. German forces had advanced 1,700 kilometers, and maintained a linearly-measured front of 3,000 kilometers. The Red Army put up fierce resistance during the war's early stages. Even so, they were plagued by an ineffective defense doctrine against well-trained and experienced German forces, despite possessing some modern Soviet equipment, such as the KV-1 and T-34 tanks.
While the Germans made huge advances in 1941, killing millions of Soviet soldiers, at Stalin's direction, the Red Army directed sizable resources to prevent the Germans from achieving one of their key strategic goals, the attempted capture of Leningrad. They held the city at the cost of more than a million Soviet soldiers in the region and more than a million civilians, many who died from starvation.
Correctly calculating that Hitler would direct efforts to capture Moscow, Stalin concentrated his forces to defend the city, including numerous divisions transferred from Soviet eastern sectors after he determined that Japan would not attempt an attack in those areas. By December, Hitler's troops had advanced to within 25 km of the Kremlin in Moscow. On December 5, the Soviets launched a counteroffensive, pushing German troops back 80 km from Moscow in what was the first major defeat of the Wehrmacht in the war.
The German southern campaign began with a push to capture the Crimea, which ended in disaster for the Red Army. Stalin publicly criticized his generals' leadership. In their southern campaigns, the Germans took 625,000 Red Army prisoners in July and August 1942 alone.
Estimating that the Russians were "finished," the Germans began another southern operation in the fall of 1942, the Battle of Stalingrad. Hitler insisted upon splitting German southern forces in a simultaneous siege of Stalingrad and an offensive against Baku on the Caspian Sea. Stalin directed his generals to spare no effort to defend Stalingrad. Although the Soviets suffered in excess of 1.1 million casualties at Stalingrad, their victory over German forces, including the encirclement of 290,000 Axis troops, marked a turning point in the war.
The Soviets repulsed the important German strategic southern campaign and, although 2.5 million Soviet casualties were suffered in that effort, it permitted to Soviets to take the offensive for most of the rest of the war.
In 1943, Stalin ceded to his generals' call for the Soviet Union to take a defensive stance because of disappointing losses after Stalingrad, a lack of reserves for offensive measures and a prediction that the German's would likely next attack a bulge in the Soviet front at Kursk such that defensive preparations there would more efficiently use resources. The Germans did attempt an encirclement attack at Kursk, which was successfully repulsed by the Soviets.
By the end of 1943, the Soviets occupied half of the territory taken by the Germans from 1941-1942. Soviet military industrial output also had increased substantially from late 1941 to early 1943 after Stalin had moved factories well to the East of the front, safe from German invasion and air attack. The strategy paid off, as such industrial increases were able to occur even while the Germans in late 1942 occupied over half of European Russia, including 40% (80 million) of its population, and 2,500,000 square kilometers of Russian territory. The Soviets had also prepared for war for over a decade, including preparing 14 million civilians with some military training. Accordingly, while almost all of the original 5 million men of the Soviet army had been wiped out by the end of 1941, the Soviet military had swelled to 8 million members by the end of that year.
Despite substantial losses in 1942 far in excess of German losses, Red Army size grew even further, to 11 million. While there is substantial debate whether Stalin helped or hindered these industrial and manpower efforts, Stalin left most economic wartime management decisions in the hands of his economic experts.
In 1944, the Soviet Union made significant advances across Eastern Europe toward Germany, including Operation Bagration, a massive offensive in Belorussia against the German Army Group Centre. The operation resulted in the Soviets retaking Belorussia and the western Ukraine, along with the successful effective destruction of the Army Group Centre and 300,000 German casualties, though at the cost of over 750,000 Soviet casualties.
By late May 1944, the Soviets had liberated Crimea, largely expelled Axis forces from Ukraine, and made incursions into Romania, which were repulsed by the Axis troops.
On June 22, the Soviets launched a strategic offensive in Belarus (known as "Operation Bagration") that resulted in the almost complete destruction of the German Army Group Centre. Soon after that, another Soviet strategic offensive forced German troops from Western Ukraine and Eastern Poland. The successful advance of Soviet troops prompted resistance forces in Poland to initiate several uprisings, though the largest of these, in Warsaw, as well as a Slovak Uprising in the south, were not assisted by the Soviets and were put down by German forces. The Red Army's strategic offensive in eastern Romania cut off and destroyed the considerable German troops there and triggered a successful coup d'état in Romania and in Bulgaria.
In September 1944, Soviet Red Army troops advanced into Yugoslavia and forced the rapid withdrawal of the German Army Groups E and F in Greece, Albania and Yugoslavia to rescue them from being cut off. By this point, the Communist-led Partisans under Marshal Josip Broz Tito, who had led an increasingly successful guerrilla campaign against the occupation since 1941, controlled much of the territory of Yugoslavia and were engaged in delaying efforts against the German forces further south. In northern Serbia, the Red Army, with limited support from Bulgarian forces, assisted the Partisans in a joint liberation of the capital city of Belgrade on October 20. A few days later, the Soviets launched a massive assault against German-occupied Hungary that lasted until the fall of Budapest in February 1945. In contrast with impressive Soviet victories in the Balkans, the bitter Finnish resistance to the Soviet offensive in the Karelian Isthmus denied the Soviets occupation of Finland and led to the signing of Soviet-Finnish armistice on relatively mild conditions, with a subsequent shift to the Allied side by Finland.
Successes at Operation Bagration and in the year that followed were, in large part, due to a weakened Wehrmacht that lacked the fuel and armament they needed to operate effectively, growing Soviet advantages in manpower and materials.
In Britain, an element of British public and political sentiment favoured a negotiated peace with Germany, among them Halifax as Foreign Secretary, but Churchill refused to consider an armistice. Diplomacy was not part of his upbringings and education. Throughout his life Winston Churchill suffered from clinical depression which he called his "Black Dog". His personal physician Lord Moran said that during the war years Winston sought solace in his tumbler of whiskey and his cigar. He was also a very emotional man and would break into tears during meetings when he heard of bad news. During some of his broadcast speeches it was noticeable that he was trying to hold back the tears. It was during a meeting at the White House, when Churchill was handed a signal that Tobruk had fallen, that he burst into tears.
In 1915, during WW I, Churchill was the political and military leader who engineered the disastrous Gallipoli landings on the Dardanelles. Churchill little finger told him what strategy was best to win the war and Churchill sent 200,000 soldiers to their deaths, something that could have been easily avoided. One would think his little finger was completely drunk that day. He took much of the blame for the fiasco, and when Prime Minister Asquith formed an all-party coalition government, the Conservatives demanded his demotion as the price for entry. Over time Churchill was a Conservative, and then he was a Liberal, and then again was back to being a Conservative. Churchill never quite knew the difference between left and right. The only thing that help him in politic was that after a drink or two he was able to make the most convincing speeches to the British population who felt over backward (literally) for him.
Winston Churchill, First Lord of the Admiralty, proposed a naval attack on the Dardanelles, based in part on erroneous reports of Ottoman troop strength. Churchill wanted to use a large number of obsolete battleships, which could not operate against the German High Seas Fleet, in a Dardanelles operation, with a small occupation force provided by the army. It was hoped that an attack on the Ottomans would also draw Bulgaria and Greece (both formerly ruled by the Ottomans) into the war on the Allied side. The failure of the landings had significant political repercussions in Britain, which began during the battle. Fisher resigned in May after bitter conflict with Churchill over the campaign. The crisis that followed after the Conservatives learned that Churchill would be staying, forced the Prime Minister Herbert Asquith, to end his Liberal Government and form a Coalition Government with the Conservative Party.
Churchill never got over such lost except in the writing of his own books in which he blamed everybody else except himself for the deaths of the 200,000 soldiers. After a drink or two, Churchill was good in writing books and speeches to the British people. He has practically re-writen WW I and WW II history the way British and American people would like it to read in history books. That is why he got re-elected as PM of Britain during WW II. No matter what happens, the British people knew Churchill could re-write history the way they like it.
And oddly enough, the British people thought he was the only one with "a good military record", and they voted for his reelection as PM. The reality is that Churchill had got the 200,000 soldiers sent to their deaths in WW I because of a completely unrealistic war strategy he personaly engineered. And there he was now facing the most sophisticated army the world had ever seen, Hitler's Army. Churchill's little finger and drinking problems were not going to be of much help.
Churchill had a good relationship with United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt; between 1939 and 1945 they exchanged letters and telegrams, and they met several times. During WW II, the USA were selling to Britain vital food, oil and munitions via the North Atlantic shipping routes.
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev ended the Cold War in 1991 and promoted Peace in the world. He was the greatest of all Soviet leaders, and he is my personal hero. Russians are all my heroes for what they have endured during and after WW II. The Soviet Union saved the world. Now let Russia save the planet, and all life on Earth. Yes you can! You can do it better than anyone else in the world. If there has to be a third world war, Global Community wants Russia to survive us all because you are truly a better People than all of us put together, than all Life has ever created through the evolutionary process. Russians are the best people the human species has ever had so far. God bless you Russia, and God bless all Russians.
The Soviet Union defeated Hitler and his army in WWII. The so called "allied" never got over that and had to create the "Cold War" against Russia for decades following WWII. A similar situation is happening all over again today. And again Russia formidable natural resources are what the EU 27 member states and the USA mercenaries from the White House want to take away from Russia. They are jealous, poor and hungry, and economically bankrupted. And again we see EU, UN and the White House trying to re-write the history books for the generations to come, much like Churchill has done in his life. Telling the truth was not a part of his upbringings and education. Today, concerning Syria and the Ukraine, the media industry is producing countless lies to the population in the so called Allied nations. Brainwashing on steroids! They are "ethic minus".
Over time Russians showed the world they were better people then any of the people in the so called Allied nations. During WW II, Russian soldiers, all Russian people, were all heroes and ought to be thank for saving the world from Hitler's invasion. Thank you Russia! You are the best of all Peoples on Earth. Global Community approves of what you are doing to protect Russians outside Russia. Dont trust the UN to do it for you. Protect your formidable natural resources and the global life-support systems. You are the only nation left capable of doing so. Global Community is proud of what you have become and achieved. The Soviet Union defeated Hitler and his army in WWII. The so called "allied" never got over that and had to create the "Cold War" against Russia for decades following WWII.
A similar situation is happening all over again today. And again Russia formidable natural resources are what the EU 27 member states and the USA mercenaries from the White House want to take away from Russia. They are jealous, poor and hungry. And again we see EU, UN and the White House trying to re-write the history books for the generations to come, much like Churchill has done in his life. Telling the truth was not a part of his upbringings and education. Today, concerning Ukraine, the media industry is producing countless lies to the population in the so called Allied nations. Brainwashing on steroids! They are "ethic minus".
Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev ended the Cold War in 1991 because of the economy of his nation was suffering from the unsatisfying appetite of the military. He had the guts to end the Cold War to save his people from a nuclear war. A leader of Peace and Harmony! Why have the United States not followed his leadership in creating an open and safe world?
If America had followed his leadership the American economy would not have been bankcrupted today.
For years after the Cold War ended, American businesses have taken advantages of Russia openness and dragged Russian economy even more down further.
The more than a half billion people from the EU 27 member states behave much like piranhas. Piranhas have a reputation as ferocious predators that hunt their prey in schools as a means of cooperative hunting. That is why the 27 member states are re-uniting themselves as the EU, a new Union of predators badly needing of a new prey, a fresh body to eat, and Russians and Russia will do just fine they say. After the feeding frenzy of the piranhas is done, only bones are left afterward. Once all of Russia has been 'done' with to the bones and falling apart, guess what happens next! Russians and Russia will be divided. Not even a Soul left! The Russia we know today will become much like the 27 member states: divided, hungry, scared of not having a future for themselves, and the Russian brand gone forever.
Over the past decades, global warming of the planet and climate change were problems mostly created in Britain and in the USA. Now by invading Russia, the people of the EU member states and the USA would destroy Russia's natural resources and practically burn the Oxygen left in our air making it impossible for all life forms to breath and, yes, that would also mean the end of all civilizations on Earth.
With climate change and the melting of the North ice, Russia will enjoy a new land to appreciate for the generations to come. Their future as Russians is good. They should not lose it to the EU. Russians are a responsible people. Russia is a wonderful place to be born in and with a great future ahead of Russians for many generations to come. They should not lose it all to the EU member states desperate and hungry to invade them militarily and economically.
The so called Allied nations of WW II tried to invade the Soviet Union militarily. They failed. Now they are trying again but this time they are more vocal and forceful. They have caused an illegal "coup d'etat" in the Ukraine and trying the same in Syria for the purpose of pushing Russia to react forcefully. We all know the USA mercenaries from the White House are behind the coup d'etat in the Ukraine. We all know Russia resources are again the target of the half billion people from the EU 27 member states and the USA mercenaries.
In November 1939, the American Neutrality Act was amended to allow "cash and carry" purchases by Britain. In 1940, following the German capture of Paris, the size of the United States Navy was significantly increased. In September, the United States further agreed to a trade of American destroyers for British bases. This was capitalism at its best. Americans would not get involved in WW II unless there was something to get in return. Americans had to be paid for their goods and services. Americans were not the defenders of freedom and democracy. They were mercenaries getting paid to do a job. Still, a large majority of the American public continued to oppose any direct military intervention into the conflict well into 1941.
Although Roosevelt had promised to keep the United States out of the war, he nevertheless took concrete steps to prepare for that eventuality. In December 1940 he accused Hitler of planning world conquest and ruled out negotiations as useless and promoted the passage of Lend-Lease aid to support the British war effort. In January 1941 secret high level staff talks with the British began for the purposes of determining how to defeat Germany should the US enter the war. They decided on a number of offensive policies, including an air offensive, the "early elimination" of Italy, raids, support of resistance groups, and the capture of positions to launch an offensive against Germany. Before getting involved, they decided to wait until Hitler destroyed completely the Soviet Union. Then they would bomb (gas) the weakened German Army and get their hands over Russia formidable natural resources. Churchill agreed! At the time, both the American and British people, and most of European nations, considered the Soviet Union communism political system something to be scared of and to destroy. So they all wanted to destroy the Soviet Union.
Churchill was relieved when Roosevelt was re-elected in 1940. Upon re-election, Roosevelt immediately set about implementing a new method of providing military hardware and shipping to Britain without the need for monetary payment. Put simply, Roosevelt persuaded Congress that repayment for this immensely costly service would take the form of defending the US interests. For years to come and until D-Day, this was the only contribution of the USA to WW II.
Sometimes before D-Day, Winston Churchill asked Stalin for help. As usual, Churchill would break into tears, crying for help. At this point, Russian forces had already defeated the German army, and won the war. Stalin told Churchill that it was now safe to organize D-Day thing, and to get the USA to bomb Germany and finish up the job. As agreed, France was to be liberated right away. After Hitler'defeat by the Soviet Union, the moral of German soldiers still occupying France was very low and the British and others would find it easy to win this much. Americans would not have to do much of anything except flying over Germany and dropping gas bombs, killing mostly civilians and refugees.
On June 6, 1944 (known as D-Day), after three years of Soviet pressure, the "so called Allies" invaded northern France. After reassigning several divisions from Italy, they also attacked southern France. These landings were successful, and led to the defeat of the German Army units in France. Paris was liberated by the local resistance assisted by the Free French Forces on August 25.
Between February 13 and 15, 1945, British and US bombers attacked the German city of Dresden, which was crowded with German wounded and refugees. There were an unknown number of refugees in Dresden, so historians Matthias Neutzner, G. Bergander and Frederick Taylor have used historical sources and deductive reasoning to estimate that the number of refugees in the city and surrounding suburbs was around 200,000 on the first night of the bombing. Because of the cultural importance of the city, and of the number of civilian casualties close to the end of the war, this remains one of the most controversial so called Allied actions of the war.
Ultimately, responsibility for the British part of the attack lay with Stalin who told Churchill to tell the USA to bomb Germany to finish up the job. But Churchill has been criticised for allowing the bombings to occur. German historian J. Friedrich claims that Churchill's decision was a "war crime", and writing in 2006 the philosopher A. C. Grayling questioned the whole strategic bombing campaign by the RAF, presenting the argument that although it was not a war crime it was a moral crime that undermines the so called Allies' contention that they fought a just war.
Americans bombed Germany with chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. How many Jews and Christians were gased from the bombing would be impossible to tell. Most likely in the millions!
In late 1944, Soviet forces battled fiercely to capture Hungary in the Budapest Offensive, but could not take it, which became a topic so sensitive to Stalin that he refused to allow his commanders to speak of it. The Germans held out in the subsequent Battle of Budapest until February 1945, when the remaining Hungarians signed an armistice with the Soviet Union. Victory at Budapest permitted the Red Army to launch the Vienna Offensive in April 1945. To the northeast, the taking of Belorussia and the Western Ukraine permitted the Soviets to launch the massive Vistula–Oder offensive, a Red Army operation on the Eastern Front, where German intelligence had incorrectly guessed the Soviets would have a 3-to-1 numerical superiority advantage that was actually 5-to-1 (over 2 million Red Army personnel attacking 450,000 German defenders), the successful culmination of which resulted in the Red Army advancing from the Vistula river in Poland to the German Oder river in Eastern Germany.
Stalin directed the Red Army to move rapidly in a broad front into Germany because he did not believe the so called Allies would hand over territory they occupied, while he made the overriding objective capturing Berlin. After successfully capturing Eastern Prussia, three Red Army fronts converged on the heart of Germany, with one of the last pitched battles of the war putting the Soviets at the virtual gates of Berlin.
By April 24, Berlin was encircled by elements of two Soviet fronts, one of which had begun a massive shelling of the city on April 20 that would not end until the city's surrender.
By April 1945, Nazi Germany faced its last days with 1.9 million German soldiers fighting 6.4 million Red Army soldiers. The Soviet Union had defeated Hitler and won the war. On April 30, Hitler and Eva Braun committed suicide, after which Soviet forces found their remains. German forces surrendered a few days later. The Second World War ended on 8 May 1945. The Soviet Union had won the war for the world.
Fending off the German invasion and pressing to victory over Nazi Germany in World War II required a tremendous sacrifice by the Soviet Union (more than any other country in human history). Soviet military casualties totaled approximately 35 million (official figures 28.2 million) with approximately 14.7 million killed, missing or captured (official figures 11.285 million). Although figures vary, the Soviet civilian death toll probably reached 20 million. Millions of Soviet soldiers and civilians disappeared into German detention camps and slave labor factories, while millions more suffered permanent physical and mental damage.
Economic losses, including losses in resources and manufacturing capacity in western Russia and Ukraine, were also catastrophic. The war resulted in the destruction of approximately 1,710 Soviet cities and towns, and 70,000 villages. Destroyed in that process were 6 million houses, 98,000 farms, 32,000 factories, 82,000 schools, 43,000 libraries, 6,000 hospitals and thousands of kilometers of roads and railway track.
Although Churchill's role in the Second World War had generated much support for him amongst the British population, he was defeated in the 1945 election.
Post-war division of the world was formalised by two international military alliances, the United States-led NATO and the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact; the long period of political tensions and military competition between them, the Cold War, would be accompanied by an unprecedented arms race and proxy wars.
To explain what truly happened during WW II, it was not just Hitler wanting to invade the Soviet Union and acquire its formidable natural resources, it was also all of Europe with the same desire of enriching itself. Europeans also thought that the people from the Soviet Union were communists and, therefore, should not be allowed to have all those resources.
Right from the start, on June 22, 1941, Germany, Italy and Romania invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa. They were joined shortly after by Finland and Hungary. All the other European nations never stopped Hitler from invading the Soviet Union. They gave up quickly to Hitler's plan. And that alone makes them on Hitler side for the invasion of the Soviet Union. I am not a war thinker myself but if I can think that way probably it means every human being is capable of thinking the same. Now British and American Generals would have thought ahead concerning the consequences of Hitler invading the Soviet Union. That is very human to think ahead! Those same Generals would have like nothing better than to see the Soviet Union defeated by Hitler. Afterward, a weakened German Army could be easily defeated by the USA. And of course British and Americans would have got all they wanted: the Soviet Union formidable natural resources. And that is the reason why D-Day happened so late during WW II.
When Churchill and Roosevelt saw that Stalin was winning WW II, they decided to have their D-Day thing to save face for history and so make believe to the world they had something to do with winning WW II.
It was only years later, after Stalin had defeated Hitler that the so called Allies decided to have their D-Day in France. In France!? At the time, most Germans in France were so depressed of losing the war that it would have been no big deal about putting down their arms, and they would have glady surrendered if only Churchill had knew anything about diplomacy. In WW I, Churchill sent 200,000 soldiers to their deaths because his little finger told him he had the right strategy. Churchill cooked his own books explaining what happened during both wars, WW I and WW II.
Again in WW II, after the Soviet Union defeated the German Army, instead of asking the USA to gas Germany, Churchill could have easily asked German soldiers in France to surrender. If Churchill had got any training whatsoever in diplomacy he could have avoided the killing of thousands of British, French, Canadian and German soldiers, and, of course, countless civilians and refugees including Jews and Christians.
History books in so called Allied nations, say that during WW II there were an East Front (the Soviet Union) and a West Front (Britain) fighting against Hitler's Army. France had already given up. The so called West Front never really existed until after Stalin had pushed Hitler back into his black hole. Then Stalin told the so called Allies that it was safe to do their D-Day thing to finish up the job.
The truth is that there were never West or East Fronts. There was only the Soviet Union being attacked by all of Europe for the sole goal of acquiring the formidable Russian natural resources.
It is not saying here that Churchill and Roosevelt were cowards. It is not saying here that France military surrendered very quickly to Hitler, and that French soldiers were cowards. No! I am not saying the so called Allies were cowards, including the USA mercenaries. They just waited until D-Day to show up. The Soviet Union had already defeated Hitler and his European acolytes. The so called Allied nations were hoping Hitler would destroy completely the Soviet Union, and then Hitler Army would be so weak that the so called Allied nations would just need to bomb them and win the war and get their hands on Soviet Union natural resources. But that did not happen.
Throughout WW II, the United States behaved like a nation of mercenaries. They would help only if they were getting pay from Britain. Later on D-Day, the USA decided it was in their own national interests to gas bomb Germany. And they did just that. Mercenaries dont fight for freedom, justice and democracy. They get pay to do a job, and that is all. But bombing Germany when the German Army had already been defeated is a crime against humanity. Roosevelt never had a single drop of diplomacy in his blood, and neither did the US Congress officials. The prospect of Americans getting their hands on Russia' formidable natural resources, had Hitler defeated the Soviet Army, was to great to let pass away this opportunity. Americans were opportunists at best, and committed crimes against humanity at worst.
The large bulk of the German Army had been defeated in the Soviet Union. Certainly it was time for a diplomatic end of the war. There were not many German soldiers left in Germany. So what the USA mercenaries have done was bombing with chemical and biological gases civilians and refugees in Germany. Mostly innocent people who had not much to do with Hitler's dream of invading the Soviet Union.
Because the so called Allied nations did not condemn the USA mercenaries for their crime against humanity, they have created an evil by far much worst than Hitler himself. Ever since WW II the USA has made of a habit of bombing nations using bombs of all types, all very deadly and destructive.
Remember Vietnam? The Vietnam War was a Cold War-era military conflict that occurred in Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia. America attacked the place. America dropped 100 times more bombs of all types over those nations than they did over Germany, and that without any provocation from the people of those three nations. America has tried to invade the place. To these days no one really knows why America has tried to invade the place. I sure dont! Was it because America did not like their political system, communism? That is very likely because Europe tried to destroy the Soviet Union during WW II mainly because of the Soviet Union formidable natural resources and its communist political system.
Or was it because Americans enjoy killing, bombing communities, destroying, and showing off military warfare? Was it because it made good economic sense? Americans must have killed over a million people. What a bloodshed! Back in America,
Americans were told they were killing the bad guys, the communists. That was all what was needed to do the killing. No other reason! Are Americans so gullible they would believe anything coming from the White House? Can they not see how wrong invading Vietnam had been? Dont they have values, principles or even religious beliefs they live by to help making a sound judgment about such an invasion? Even the United Nations never condemned the monstrous gencocide.
The American military troops were the self proclaimed heroes. And to these days the International Court of Justice never got a President to stand in Court for the genocide Americans have committed during the Vietnam war. Was the Court bias? As if nothing had happened! America was right and the other guys were communits! The irony of it all is that today communists own America. America has long been bankrupted. The White House has borrowed astronomical amounts of money from China. China bought America with hard earned money! Low salary and hard earned money. They have an economic system that asks someone to do work to earn a living. And somehow they managed to buy America. At least the U.S.A. will have to give China the State of Texas with all its resources to pay for their debt to China. At the least! We should ask Governor Rick Perry and Texas's Senators Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn what they would think of giving away the State of Texas to China to pay for America's debt.
They are truly Americans but would they want to let go Texas to save America? We all have to make sacrifices. Of course the White House Administration would relocate every single American from Texas to elswhere. The Arizona desert might be a good place for all Texans. The Sonoran Desert, an area of 120,000 sq mi., might be just what is needed. Eventually, global warming will make the desert so hot you would not have even have a need for a stove for cooking. So that will save taxpayers money. After all, the burning of Texas oil caused the global warming of the planet so it is only fair Texans suffer hell in the desert.
And then Americans should follow China's lead about creating a proper economic system in America. Communism might not be a bad idea! Texans will have to work to make a living. What a change! But the leaders ending up at the White House are so corrupted, Presidents and officials from the US Congress and Senate included, that a scheme will be soon designed to make China the bad guys, the communists, and those astronomical amounts of dollars owed to China will be scratched out of history. It is only a matter of time before "a big fraud" is activated so Americans will never have to pay back what they owe to China.
Recent revelations by Edward Snowdon, Wikileaks and other whistle-blowers have made it clear that the United States has suffered a decay of its political institutions. The US can hardly be called a democracy today, since it seems to be ruled by an extremely wealthy oligarchy, the 1%, rather than by its people. In fact, the people of the US do not really know what their government is doing because the activities of the CIA, the NSA, Secret Service, Homeland Security, the FBI, and many other agencies are masked in secrecy. A country where the people do not know what their government is doing, and where the people have no control over their government's actions, cannot be said to be a democracy. The history of this huge secret side of the US government goes back to WW II, during which the US Government engaged in both covert and military interference with the internal affairs of smaller countries.
The US interfered, militarily or covertly, in the internal affairs of a large number of nations: China, 1945-49; Italy, 1947-48; Greece, 1947-49; Philippines, 1946-53; South Korea, 1945-53; Albania, 1949-53; Germany, 1950s; Iran, 1953; Guatemala, 1953-1990s; Middle East, 1956-58; Indonesia, 1957-58; British Guiana/Guyana, 1953-64; Vietnam, 1950-73; Cambodia, 1955-73; The Congo/Zaire, 1960-65; Brazil, 1961-64; Dominican Republic, 1963-66; Cuba, 1959-present; Indonesia, 1965; Chile, 1964-73; Greece, 1964-74; East Timor, 1975-present; Nicaragua, 1978-89; Grenada, 1979-84; Libya, 1981-89; Panama, 1989; Iraq, 1990-present; Afghanistan 1979-92; El Salvador, 1980-92; Haiti, 1987-94; Yugoslavia, 1999; and Afghanistan, 2001-present, Syria, 2013-present. Egypt, 2013-present,Venezuela, 2013-present.
None of these interventions can be justified, since people have a right to live under governments of their own choosing, regardless of whether those governments are optimal. Later, with the fall of the Soviet Union economy, intoxication with the idea of the United States as the sole superpower expressed itself in the form of contempt for international law and the United Nations, and especially in the declarations of the “Project for a New American Century”, which many people have compared to Hitler's “Mein Kampf”.
Today, the lack of common sense communications and relationship we see growing between the EU member states and Russia have always existed ever since WW I and WW II.
European nations have always been jealous of Russia formidable natural resources. The view from space shows us a global landscape in which competition over resources is the governing principle behind the use of economic and military power. Truly, resources have become the new political boundaries. Geopolitical boundaries between nations are gradually disappearing to make place to georesources boundaries. We saw that happening in Europe with the forming of the EU organization.
The EU 27 member states would like to get away from the oil & gas products deal they have made with Russia. The EU currently imports 82% of its oil, 57% of its natural gas and 97.48% of its uranium demands. There are concerns that Europe's dependence on Russian energy is endangering the Union and its member countries. The EU is attempting to diversify its energy supply. But that is very odd! Why searching for resources thousands of kilometers away when Russia wants to do business with you. The EU nations have got all they need right there but they would rather search elsewhere over long distances and destroying the environment in the process of transporting the same resources. They would rather go to war against the Soviet Union who got rid of Hitler.
Tensions between the Western-backed interim government in Kiev and the eastern parts of Ukraine with close economic and linguistic ties to Russia are escalating, posing the threat not only of civil war in Ukraine, but of military conflict between the imperialist powers and Russia.
Pro-Russian protesters in eastern Ukraine’s industrial city of Donetsk set up a “people’s council” and announced the creation of a “republic of Donetsk.”
Three weeks after Crimea voted to secede from Ukraine, the council in Donetsk similarly called for a May 11 referendum on joining Russia and asked Russia to deploy “peacekeepers” to secure it. A statement of the council read: “Without support it will be hard for us to stand against the junta in Kiev… We are addressing Russian President Putin because we can only entrust our security to Russia.”
The announcement followed the occupation of local administration buildings in Donetsk, Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second largest city, and the eastern city of Luhansk by anti-government protesters. Pictures and videos of the protests showed demonstrators setting up barricades and piling up tires and barbed wire, just as pro-Western protesters did in Kiev against former president Viktor Yanukovych before he was ousted in a Western-orchestrated and fascist-led putsch on February 22.
NATO broke off military cooperation with Russia and carried out military exercises in several countries bordering or near Russia, including the Baltic states and Bulgaria. This was part of a broader military build-up, pursued since the fascist-led putsch that installed a pro-Western regime in Ukraine in February, that has seen NATO forces deployed or military exercises planned in Poland, Ukraine and the Baltic states.
Lavrov accused NATO of breaching the 1997 agreement between NATO and Russia, which specifies that NATO will not carry out any new “permanent stationing of substantial combat forces.” He also accused NATO of breaching the Montreux convention on naval deployments to the Black Sea, which requires that warships from non-Black Sea countries stay in the region only 21 days. “US warships have recently extended their presence in the Black Sea several times. This extension did not always obey the rules of the Montreux Convention,” Lavrov said.
NATO officials indicated that they would press ahead with their escalation, ignoring Russian objections. NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen dismissed Lavrov’s speech as “just another piece of Russian propaganda and disinformation.”
Attempts to portray NATO as a defender of world order and international law are transparent frauds. Even leaving aside the fact that the NATO powers operate global torture and drone murder operations, they have time and again—in the US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, or last year’s war scare in Syria—sought to wage aggressive war despite opposition at the UN Security Council, in violation of international law.
As for the current crisis in Ukraine, it exploded after the NATO powers brazenly backed a putsch in Kiev, led by fascist groups like the Right Sector and the Svoboda party, to topple a pro-Russian Ukrainian regime and install a regime militarily aligned on NATO directly on Russia’s borders.
NATO’s aggressive escalation, carried out over the Kremlin’s warnings that it is tearing up all the legal foundations of the highly fragile peace in Europe, threatens a war between NATO and Russia—a major military power with a massive arsenal of nuclear weapons. This reflects the intensifying international contradictions tearing at European and world capitalism, which can be fought only by unifying the international working class against the danger of imperialist war.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Aleksandr Lukashevich complained in a statement that NATO was returning to “the Cold War era.” He warned that this would hamper joint collaboration between Russia and NATO on “fighting terrorism, piracy, and natural and man-made disasters.”
The Western imperialist powers are scrapping their collaboration with the Kremlin on issues like anti-piracy operations, however, as they struggle over a far more significant prize: geo-strategic and financial control of Eastern Europe, and ultimately of Russia itself.
The war of words between Russia and the United States is soaring these days over the sovereignty of the Crimean peninsula, and the White House officials are constantly directing accusations and excruciating verbal attacks against Kremlin in what seems to be the most serious dispute between Moscow and the West in the recent years.
The United States has pulled out all the stops to defeat and isolate Russia diplomatically, and has even gone so far as to impose economic sanctions against the Russian individuals and companies, and excluding Russia from the G8 group of the industrialized nations. The 40th G8 summit was slated to be held in Sochi, Russia on June 4-5, but following the suspension of Russia’s membership in the G8, the summit relocated to Brussels, Belgium, and it would be the first time that a G8 leaders’ convention is going to take place in a non-member state country. Some of the Western media outlets have even started to refer to G8 as G7, implying that Russia does not have any position in this influential group of the affluent, developed nations.
But as always, when it comes to flexing the muscles and showing political prowess, the United States and its partners are behaving in an intolerant, duplicitous and hypocritical manner. In a statement, the newly-termed G7 leaders reaffirmed that Russia’s “occupation of the Crimea” was against the principles of the G7 and contravened the United Nations Charter.
It’s interesting that the innumerable violations of the international law, the UN Charter and Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in time of War by the United States in the recent years have never caught the attention of the G8 leaders and never compelled them to at least consider warning the United States to behave more responsibly and respect the internationally recognized conventions and regulations or refraining from destroying and annihilating other nations through its “humanitarian” missions!
If Russia should be punished for sending troops to Crimea, while it’s legally entitled to do so, and if its military intervention in Crimea represents a violation of the UN Charter in the eyes of the Western leaders, then it will be taken for granted that all violations of the international law and the United Nations Charter should be reprimanded and responded appropriately and the wrongdoers should be penalized in a fair manner. If Russia has occupied a sovereign entity – which is of course not the case, and should bear the burden of sanctions and diplomatic isolation, it’s ok, but why shouldn’t the United States be castigated and prosecuted for the same reason? What makes the military intervention of Russia different from the wars the U.S. offhandedly wages across the world?
For those of us who willfully ignore the historical facts, it’s noteworthy that the Partition Treaty on the Status and Conditions of the Black Sea Fleet signed between Russia and Ukraine on May 28, 1997, permits Russia to lawfully maintain up to 25,000 troops, 24 artillery systems, 132 armored vehicles and 22 military planes on the Crimean peninsula. This agreement will be effective until 2017, and so it can be the most convincing logical justification for Russia’s military action in Crimea.
So, what has happened is not an “occupation” as the U.S. leaders claim, but that Russia has exercised its legal right for sending troops to a geographical area where the majority of inhabitants are ethnic Russians and don’t want to remain under the Ukraine autonomy and are overwhelmingly inclined to join Russia.
What every neutral and unbiased observer of the international political developments can easily note is that it’s the United States which is renowned for its hegemonic policies and its imperialistic modus operandi, not Russia. Russia’s intervention in Crimea took place after it felt that its national interests are being seriously endangered on its borders, where 58% of the population is consisted of indigenous Russians who prefer to be reunited with Russia, rather than being seen as an asset and prize for the United States under the leadership of a new government in Ukraine which has neo-fascist backgrounds.
The prominent American syndicated columnist and journalist Ted Rall has recently written on his website that there are traces of neo-fascism and neo-Nazism in the government of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk who has just come to power: “There’s no doubt that a Ukrainian nationalist strain runs deep in the new regime. It has been estimated that roughly 1/3 or more of the supporters of the new government come out of xenophobic, anti-Semitic, neo-fascist movements that draw much of their ideological heritage from the Nazi puppet regime that governed Ukraine under German occupation during World War II.”
So, on March 16, the Crimean parliament and the local government of Sevastopol held a public referendum in Crimea to give the citizens two choices for the future of their territory; either to remain associated with Ukraine or reunite with Russia. With a high turnout of 83.1% of the eligible voters, 96.77% of the participants in the plebiscite voted in favor of joining the Russian Federation. The United States and its allies didn’t hesitate to call the referendum as rigged and invalid, as they usually does with the elections in countries with which they are at odds. Washington even drafted a resolution in the United Nations Security Council to call the referendum null and void, but Russia used its veto power, while China abstained, and the United States simply pushed the General Assembly member states to pass a non-binding resolution, declaring the referendum invalid, which doesn’t seem to have any certain impact on the future of Crimea.
The policy of de-Russanization was long underway in the Crimean peninsula, and many other former Soviet Union republics, as Ted Rall elaborately details. Perhaps the fact that the Ukrainian Parliament Verkhovna Rada voted on February 23 to repeal the 2012 language law that had declared Russian an official language in Ukraine and allowed it to be used in the schools, media and official correspondence, was a driving force for the Crimean people to rise up and call for independence from Ukraine that they believed didn’t respect their cultural and lingual background.
The future of Crimea and the prospects of the marred relations between Russia and the West remain blurred and unknown, but the United States’ accusations that Russia is “occupying” Crimea and exerting military aggression and so should be punished with economic sanctions and diplomatic isolation sound gravely outrageous and entirely hypocritical. The United States has the biggest war machinery in the world, has been directly or indirectly involved in more than 50 wars and military strikes on other countries without the approval of the UN Security Council, and has incontestably perpetrated war crimes and crimes against humanity.
As the prominent American lawyer and legal expert Marjorie Cohn has noted in a recent article, the United States is the largest user of unconventional and forbidden chemical weapons in the illegal wars it has waged across the globe. “The U.S. militarily occupied over 75% of the Puerto Rican island of Vieques for 60 years, during which time the Navy routinely practiced with, and used, Agent Orange, depleted uranium, napalm and other toxic chemicals and metals such as TNT and mercury. This occurred within a couple of miles of a civilian population that included thousands of U.S. citizens,” wrote Prof. Cohn. “The use of any type of chemical weapon by any party would constitute a war crime. Chemical weapons that kill and maim people are illegal and their use violates the laws of war,” she added.
She also goes on to explain the use of chemical weapons by the United States in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria and also underlines that the majority of wars in which the United States has taken part were not ever approved by the Security Council. Aren’t these crimes a contravention of the UN Charter? Why don’t the G7 leaders and European Council and European Commission officials ever react to these violations? Does the United States have the prerogative to attack other countries and maim their people without any legal or moral justification and then get away with its crimes?
The United States is imparting a clear message by adopting this insincere and hypocritical approach toward Russia, which is also a message to other countries: We can invade your countries, we can kill your citizens, we can rule you tyrannically, we can behave in any way we desire, but if you do something which doesn’t please us, we will impose sanctions on you, we will banish you from international organizations, and we will come down on you like a ton of bricks. This is how the American hypocrisy works…
The USA is invading the world, and the UN can do nothing to stop them. The USA was allowed to invade other nations, change their governments, and has often made lies in speeches to the UN, to the world. Remember what the US representatives told the world at the UN prior to the invasion of Iraq? Lies! All lies! And the leadership of the UN never did anything to reprimand the US representatives and implement hard sanctions for the invasion of Iraq. Ever since its creation in 1947, the USA have given Israel enough WMDs, including nuclear war heads, to destroy the entire Middle East region and no sanctions were ever enforced against Israel and the USA.
Israel is not a State, not a nation, not a country, not a global community, not a democracy and not a government. Israel is the most dangerous USA military base outside America on the planet. This USA base has been created and used ever since the end of WW II as a trojan horse to invade the Middle East for its oil and gas resources. They called that the national interests of the USA.
Where was the UN leadership? What has the UN done to stop the invasion? Nothing! The UN has never done anything to help humanity. And that is a crime against humanity. There is now a Global Community Arrest Warrant against the United Nations Secretary-General. Many reasons! He is a criminal because he had the power and was able to show leadership as per the Charter of the UN but never did anything to follow those principles in the Charter he was supposed to be standing for. To do nothing is a crime against humanity and all life on Earth. It is pure disgrace that we now have the UN organization allowing the USA trying to break the friendship between North Korea and China. The USA invaded the Middle East in a similar way: breaking frienships between the different communities of the Middle East, creating hate between communities. The USA is responsible and accountable for the civil war in Iraq and in Syria.
Americans are all over the Middle East and still today creating hate between the different communities, invading, stealing oil and gas reserves, and spreading the false belief that democracy is the best political system. Democracy got us to where we are today: the worst polluters on the planet and threatening the existence of all life. Our consumer driver political system is wrong. Our ways of life are wrong! We know it, and we still try to impose them to other Peoples. America would like the Peoples of North Korea, China and of the Middle East nations to be like us consumers, the worst polluters and on a planetary destructive path. In this way, Americans back home would not be feeling so guilty of being so bad. They would rather let others take the blame for their failure as a society.
Have you ever flown over North Korea at night? Almost no light above cities! Why? No electricity! That makes them environmentally friendly and non-polluters. What about plastics!? To have no electricity implies no consumer products made of plastics. No fridges! No freezers, which also means that they do not destroy the Ozone layer around the planet, a global life-support system to all life. Fridges and freezers use refrigerants which eventually are released to the atmosphere and destroy the Ozone layer. We could go on listing the implications of no light at night. Yet the people of North Korea live happy lives. Well! That was until Americans got into the picture. The people of North Korea are the most environmentally friendly people on the planet and Americans are jealous of that. Americans want everyone on the planet to be just like they are in America: the worst polluters on a planetary destructive path. Consumerism is America only political, economical and democratic systems.
Now America wants Russia out of Syria. Americans are still at it again: pushing, manipulating, invading. All about showing off and wanting to control. You truly have no right to change a political system of a nation just because you dont like it. In Iraq, you called rebels "insurgents." In Pakistan and Afghanistan, you called rebels Talibans. Since WWII you have been involved in many nations to either kill and bomb rebels and their communities, or you help rebels with arms so they do the work for you against a government you did not like anymore. In Iraq and Afghanistan you have bombed the place so much and killed at least a million people, committed genocide ten times over, and got those nations back to stone age. All under the United Nations approval! No questions asked! And no American President ever got taken to the International Court of Justice for crimes against humanity. Was the Court bias? Obviously the United Nations is an organization promoting and subsidizing conflicts and wars. Recently, this was shown very clearly at the begining of the the Syrian uprising which started late January of 2011, calling for the resignation of their President Bashar-al-Assad and an end to Ba'ath Party rule. Heavy armament were supplied to rebel terrarists, heavy enough to shut down jet planes and helicopters, and conduct continuous and offensive attacks to the government.
How did that happen?
Historically, a small group of students deciding to do what everyone else have been doing in that part of the world: "lets get rid of the government". And let us ask the United States to help us. The UN Secretary-General was very vocal about that, and backing them up with America military. And that is why there is a Global Community Arrest Warrant against the UN Secretary-General. Promoting conflicts and wars should never be an option at the UN. Diplomacy is the only option.
A bunch of terrarists who just wanted to create trouble and get help from the West to achieve their goals. Of course the United Nations jumped also on this bandwagon and sided with the terrarists. And we all know what happened next. More conflicts! Civil war! Refugees crisis! More than 2.5 million Syrians have fled their homes. More than 100,000 casualties. Destruction so bad the country is now back to stone age! That is the work of the United Nations giving hope to a bunch of terrarists claiming they dont like their government anymore. And again, of course, following the lead of Ban Ki-moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, other nations interested in selling arms to the terrarists i.e. Great Britain, France and the United States, were just waiting the best time to do so. Because Syria is a friend of Russia, the U.S.A., Great britain and France saw the opportunity of a much larger conflict implying a lot of destruction, killing, and selling of more arms. Selling arms is very good for their economies which they poorly managed over the past decades.
And guess who is next: China. Americans want the people of China to be just like they are: a consumer driven society and the worst polluters on the planet. And the invasion of China is their long term economic and military plan. If the United States can destroy North Korea, and its friendship with China, they can destroy China. North Korea is just a strategic military test to see how far and how well Americans can do invading the region without being told off. And what will be China's reaction...? If China does nothing meaningful to stop the invasion then America will continue further its progressive 'democratisation' of the world. But the United States would rather make money in the process, and that means letting rich American corporations getting richer by having the people of China working for them and so, polluting the planet even more on their behalf.
Russians showed the world they were better people then any of the people in the so called Allied nations. Russian soldiers, all Russian people, were all heroes and ought to be thank for saving the world from Hitler's invasion. Thank you Russia! You are the best of all Peoples on Earth. Global Community approves of what you are doing to protect Russians outside Russia. Dont trust the UN to do it for you. Protect your formidable natural resources and the global life-support systems. You are the only nation left capable of doing so. Global Community is proud of what you have become and achieved. Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev ended the Cold War in 1991 and promoted Peace in the world. He was the greatest of all Soviet leaders, and he is my personal hero. Russians are all my heroes for what they all have endured during and after WW II. The Soviet Union saved the world. Now let Russia save the planet, and all life on Earth. You can do it better than anyone else in the world. If there has to be a third world war, Global Community wants Russia to survive us all because you are truly a better People than all of us put together, than all Life has ever created through the evolutionary process. Russians are the best people the human species has ever had so far. God bless you Russia, and God bless all Russians.
Over time Russians showed the world they were better people then any of the people in the so called Allied nations.

All of these disputes have one thing in common: the conviction of ruling elites around the world that the possession of energy assets -- especially oil and gas deposits -- is essential to prop up national wealth, power, and prestige. This is hardly a new phenomenon. Early in the last century, Winston Churchill was perhaps the first prominent leader to appreciate the strategic importance of oil. As First Lord of the Admiralty, he converted British warships from coal to oil and then persuaded the cabinet to nationalize the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, the forerunner of British Petroleum (now BP).
The pursuit of energy supplies for both industry and war-fighting played a major role in the diplomacy of the period between the World Wars, as well as in the strategic planning of the Axis powers during World War II. It also explains America’s long-term drive to remain the dominant power in the Persian Gulf that culminated in the first Gulf War of 1990-91 and its inevitable sequel, the 2003 invasion of Iraq. The years since World War II have seen a variety of changes in the energy industry, including a shift in many areas from private to state ownership of oil and natural gas reserves. By and large, however, the industry has been able to deliver ever-increasing quantities of fuel to satisfy the ever-growing needs of a globalizing economy and an expanding, rapidly urbanizing world population. So long as supplies were abundant and prices remained relatively affordable, energy consumers around the world, including most governments, were largely content with the existing system of collaboration among private and state-owned energy leviathans.
The world has long been bifurcated between energy-surplus and energy-deficit states, with the former deriving enormous political and economic advantages from their privileged condition and the latter struggling mightily to escape their subordinate position. Now, that bifurcation is looking more like a chasm. In such a global environment, friction and conflict over oil and gas reserves -- leading to energy conflicts of all sorts -- is only likely to increase.
The global tipping points of greatest concerns and the emergence and spread of deadly pathogens are very serious concerns. What is even more serious is the USA war industry with its over 1200 military bases all over the planet. The war in Afghanistan was a conflict that took place from 2001 to 2021 in the South-Central Asian country of Afghanistan. It began when the United States and its allies invading Afghanistan to topple the Taliban-ruled Islamic Emirate. Now, the USA war military was asked to live Afghanistan and move to the E.U. to force its way into Russia via Ukraine as a step to take over Russian land and its resources, and this with the approval of the EU nations. NATO is of course a part of this strategy. For years, Putin made it clear to the West that, for Russia security, no NATO and USA military bases should be created in Ukraine. And so should any other European nations too close to Russia, and so threatening, menacing, Russia security. History tells us that Adolf Hitler was an Austrian-born German politician who was the dictator of Germany from 1933 until his death in 1945. He rose to power as the leader of the Nazi Party, becoming the chancellor in 1933 and then assuming the title of Führer und Reichskanzler in 1934. His dream has been to invade Russia for mainly its immense natural resources and land. This was also the untold dream of most of most European nations and of the USA. The nation Ukraine should be nutral.
Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin, was a Georgian revolutionary and Soviet political leader who governed the Soviet Union from 1922 until his death in 1953. He held power both as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922–1952) and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union (1941–1953). Despite initially governing the country as part of a collective leadership, he ultimately consolidated power to become the Soviet Union's dictator by the 1930s. A communist ideologically committed to the Leninist interpretation of Marxism, Stalin formalised these ideas as Marxism–Leninism while his own policies are known as Stalinism.
In 1939, his regime signed a non-aggression pact with Nazi Germany. Germany ended the pact by invading the Soviet Union in 1941. Despite initial setbacks, the Soviet Red Army repelled the German invasion and captured Berlin in 1945, thereby ending World War II in Europe. With Stalin as their leader, Russians defeated Hitler army and won WWII, the Second World War.
From Korea to Vietnam, Afghanistan to Iraq, the Cold War to the War on Terror, and so many military interventions in between, including Grenada, Panama, and Somalia, Americans are always fighting somewhere as if they see great utility in thumbing their noses at other nations affairs. In its quest for security, the U.S. spends more on the military than any other country in the world, certainly much more than the combined military spending of its major rivals, Russia and China. Authorized at over $700 billion in Fiscal Year 2019, and again over $700 billion requested for FY 2020, the DOD budget comprises more than half of all federal discretionary spending each year. With an armed force of more than two million people, 11 nuclear aircraft carriers, and the most advanced military aircraft, the US is more than capable of projecting power anywhere in the globe, and with “Space Command,” into outer-space. Further, the US has been continuously at war since late 2001, with the US military and State Department currently engaged in more than 80 countries in counterterror operations. All this capacity for and use of military force requires a great deal of energy, most of it in the form of fossil fuel.

The real invader in this world of ours happens to be the United States of America. The U.S. military — equally unsuccessfully, equally long-lastingly, equally usefully when it came to the spread of terrorism and of failed or failing states — took action in Libya, Somalia, Yemen (largely but not only via the Saudis), and even Syria. While those might have been considered interventions, not invasions, they were each unbelievably more invasive than anything the domestic right-wing is now calling an invasion on the USA southern border. In 2016, in Syria, for instance, the U.S. Air Force and its allies dropped an estimated 20,000 bombs on the “capital” of the Islamic State, Raqqa, a modest-sized provincial city. In doing so, with the help of artillery and of ISIS suicide bombers, they turned it into rubble. In a similar fashion from Mosul to Fallujah, major Iraqi cities were rubblized. All in all, it’s been quite a record of invasion, intervention, and destruction.
Invaders, intruders, disrupters? Talking about undocumented immigrants from south of the USA border (even with the bogus claims that there were “terrorists” among them). When it comes to invasions, we should be chanting “USA! USA!” Perhaps, in fact, you could think of this country, its leadership, its military, and its war on terror as a version of the El Paso killer raised to a global scale. In this century at least, we have been the true invaders and disrupters on planet Earth (with the Russians in Crimea and the Ukraine coming in a distant second).
Since 2001, the U.S. has succeeded in squandering staggering amounts of taxpayer dollars unsettling a vast swath of the planet, killing startling numbers of people who didn’t deserve to die, driving yet more of them from their homes, and so helping to set in motion the very crisis of migrants and refugees that has roiled both Europe and the United States ever since. The three top countries sending unwanted asylum seekers to Europe have been Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan, all deeply embroiled in the cauldron of the American war on terror. Not long ago, a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States was ordered by the President. Those original invasions and interventions were all surrounded by glorious explanations about the bringing of “democracy” to and the “liberation” of various societies, explanations no less bogus than those offered by the El Paso killer to explain his slaughter.
Today, year 2022, the world is again witnessing a major war against Russia security by refusing to make Ukraine a neutral nation. The USA and NATO want to pack up Ukraine with a military base capable of destroying Russia. More than one-third of the 90,000 U.S. troops in Europe are stationed in Germany. But the Pentagon shifted some of those personnel to shore up NATO's eastern flank and would plan to invade Russia in some no so distant future. Once more! European nations and the USA threatening to eventually invade Russia.
On September 13, 1962, USA President Kennedy wrote: "If at any time the Communist build-up in Cuba were to endanger or interfere with our security in any way, or if Cuba should ever become an offensive military base of significant capacity for the Soviet Union, then this country, the USA, will do whatever must be done to protect its own". And now the USA military is doing a similar attack onto Russia to destroy Russia and grab its resources including its land, and killing the Russian people. Russia has the right to protect its own land and people. The USA, NATO, and the European nations, the EU, have no right to invade Russia by using Ukraine as a stepping place to invade Russia. They all refused the diplomatic solution offered by Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, the president of Russia. Ukraine and the "West" refused a peaceful solution and chose to send major military personnel with the most destructive and deadly equipment. They refuse to make Ukraine a neutral nation and would rather provoke and create a war-like state with Ukraine against Russia.
The U.S.-controlled North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) has lost its purpose to continue as a defence alliance. However, its aggressive expansion is endangering world peace and the survival of life on the planet. Despite its irrelevant role, NATO has become part of the U.S. military. Instead of dismantling the once defence alliance, the U.S. pushed to enlarge NATO and expand its boundaries. The U.S. has lured most European nations, including former Warsaw Pact members, the so-called “New Europe”, to join its military. Poland, Hungry and the Czech Republic joined in 1999; Bulgaria, Latvia, Lithuanian, Estonia, Slovakia and Romania in 2004, others are waiting in line. Becoming a NATO member proves to be a profit bonanza for U.S.-Israeli weapon industries and arm dealers. All new recruits into NATO are obliged to increase their “defence” budgets to modernise and enlarge their military arsenals at the expense of vital public services.
It is important to remember in mind that the U.S.-NATO demands for expansion have met with opposition from Russia, China – with a legitimate concern against unprovoked threat – and nations such as Germany, the Netherlands and France. Almost all new mini-dictators supported the illegal U.S. aggression against the Iraqi people. They are in complete complicity in the war crimes committed by the regime of George Bush despite overwhelming majority of their citizens’ opposition to U.S. aggression. From the criminal U.S. aggression against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to the ongoing murderous occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq, the new European armies have become U.S. foot soldiers serving U.S. imperialist interests.
Planning, organizing and using crisis in Europe and elsewhere, the U.S. cancelled the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM) in order to locate ABMs and to lure more nations to sign up for the system, including Australia, South Korea and Japan.
Under the false pretext of defence against “rogue” states, the U.S. has signed a agreement with Poland to station on Polish soil U.S. “interceptor missiles”. The provocative deal is seen by Russians as a dangerous opportunity for the U.S. to expand its military presence and threat across the world. Poland hailed the deal as a counter to Russian “threat”. Of course Poland is fully aware that the missiles are against Russia not Iran, as the U.S. continues to mislead the public. After Poland, the U.S. is planning to build a twin anti-missile radar system in the Czech Republic. Many Poles as well as Czechs are against the deals and rightly believe their countries are becoming vassal states of a dangerous U.S. militarism.
Ever since the end of the Cold War, the U.S. aim has always been a quest for imperialist domination of the globe through U.S. militarism, including the establishment of 1200 U.S. military bases in strategic areas of the world. The U.S. policy of destabilising Russia and undermining Russia’s integration with Europe is aimed at controlling Eurasia’s natural resources .
The events of 9/11 provided the U.S. with a pretext to justify the U.S. war on Islam and a global imperialist expansion. It is hard to believe that the unprovoked aggression by Georgia’s President Mikheil Saakashvili against the semi-independent district of South Ossetia wasn’t engineered by the U.S. ruling class in Washington. Russia has a legitimate right to protect its citizens. Most Ossetians are Russian citizens and do not want to be dominated by a racist Georgia. Russia’s response to Saakachvili’s aggression was swift and in full compliance with international laws. Saakashvili’s army of mercenaries – trained and armed by the U.S. and Israel – has suffered a deserving humiliating defeat that should be a lesson to all those “new” European vassals who think they can participate in U.S. war crimes and count on U.S. help.
The U.S. ruling class, the Bush regime in particular, had no moral standing whatsoever to criticize Russia for protecting Russian nationals and defending South Ossetia against unprovoked aggression.
After more than five years of murderous Occupation, the Bush regime was directly responsible for the premeditated killing of more than 1.3 million innocent Iraqi civilians. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians were imprisoned and tortured on regular basis, and at leas 5 million Iraqis have been displaced as refugees living in appalling conditions. The entire sovereign nation of Iraq was destroyed in a premeditated act of aggression justified by outright lies. Moreover, despite the overwhelming majority of the Iraqi people’s opposition to the Occupation, the Bush regime refused to withdraw U.S. troops and mercenaries from Iraq and end the murderous Occupation of their nation.
It is obvious that Western governments and their mainstream media are demonising Russia even if Russia is not the aggressor. As Sergei Lavrov, Russia's foreign minister told the media: “NATO is trying to make a victim of an aggressor and whitewash a criminal regime - save a collapsing regime - and is taking a path to the rearmament of the current leaders in Georgia”. Saakashvili as perpetrator of war crimes has become the victime by embarking on an ill-advised act of aggression not dissimilar from U.S. recent acts of aggression. World peace is greatly served by multilateralism and international institutions without an aggressive U.S. military expansion. The transformation of NATO into a tool of U.S. imperialism is endangering the survival of the planet.
All weapons of mass destruction (WMDs) should have been phased out a long time ago. Why are the USA still holding the world hostage with its 40,000 nuclear war heads, and biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction? What have you ever done to help the phasing out of WMDs? Now several nations, including North Korea and Iran feel threatened just like everyone else and will refuse to be invaded. They would rather take on the US. Russia and China will also refuse to be invaded.
The United Nations had no right to create the State of Israel. They forced their way into a one billion Muslims and have done ever since. The UN along with the United States and Israel, are an invading force, a colonization drive in the same way as the British have done after World War I. The UN committed an illegal and arbitrary act by creating the State of Israel.
Furthermore, our world is facing crises of freshwater, food, deforestation, ocean health, and destruction of the global Life-support systems. Moreover, the USA military, and its over 1200 military bases spread all over the world, is adding war to the world and causing continuous destruction and pollution. We need leadership in the protection of all our natural resources, in peril because of what we do and what that does to our planet. We are facing a fresh water crisis. We are facing a food crisis. We are facing a crisis over deforestation. And we are facing crises in our oceans. While carbon emissions from fossil fuels pollute the air, land and our oceans, we are facing the climate change crisis. Now is the time to press for a sound Global Civilizational State leadership.
Now Global Community claims that all Lifeforms are important and included as part of global ethics. It is not just about 'humanity survival' but about 'all lifeforms survival' we are fighting for. The treatment of all lifeforms provides a clear example of the practical value of global ethics. In the Western world (and in contrast with certain Eastern traditions) lifeforms other than human beings have long been excluded from the domain of moral concern. They have been bred up and killed for food and clothing, captured and dissected in the name of science, and sometimes hunted for pure pleasure. This treatment has been justified in several ways. Within the Jewish and Christian religious context, for example, it is taught that God created "animals" for human use, and so we are entitled to do to them as we please. Global Community condemns this behavior because it is morally unacceptable and because each of us depends on the well-being of the whole, and so global citizens must have respect for the community of living beings, for people, other Lifeforms, and plants, and for the preservation of Earth, the air, water and soil.
Another major source of global unsecurity for people is the culture of violence in everyday life as it is shown on television screens and cinemas. The American Way of Life is creating this culture of violence. An american child at age six year old has seen more violence on television than any other child of the Middle East over a life span. This culture of violence infects both industrial and developing countries, rich and poor. This trend of culture of violence must end. The movie and TV industry and the Internet are a threat to global security. The media is responsible for the propagation of violence through communications. Why has government not done anyhting to regulate the media industry? Surely everyone understood that on the Scale of Global Rights security of the people of any nation is more important than the human rights related to the freedom of expression of the media industry. Security of the people and the state is on top of the Scale. It is part of the primordial human rights.
The main source of economic reliability in America was transferred over time from gold to dollars, specifically to US treasury bills. This major shift allowed the Federal Reserve to print dollars practically without limit (as seen in recent years with interests rates for borrowing money from the FED at around 0%), well aware that the demand for dollars would never cease, this also keeping alive huge sectors of private and public enterprises such as the coal industry, fracking industry, car manufacturing, food and farming industries, and most importantly the military industry which has always giving jobs to more than half of America's population. No wonder President Trump, and several USA Presidents before him, have been claiming the lowest unemployment rate because more than half of America population works for the war industry, the industry that has produced most of the greenhouse gases globally at the expenses of the global life-support systems. This set a course for a global economic system based on financial instruments like derivatives and other securities instead of real, tangible goods like gold. In doing this for its own benefit, the US has created the conditions for a new financial bubble that could bring down the entire world economy when it bursts.
The main source of economic success in America was transferred over time from gold to dollars, specifically to US treasury bills, which allowed the Federal Reserve to print dollars practically without limit. Given a current account deficit financed by savings of others in the world, the US government spending on global militarization and other priorities were able to expand without limit. Naturally, the more the dollar was used in the world, the more the United States of America had the power to spend on the military.
The US found itself in the enviable position of being able to print pieces of paper (simply IOU’s) without any gold backing and then exchange them for real goods from other countries. They simply needed dollars for trade and bought US treasures to diversify their financial assets. To become great again, the US parlayed the world’s largest national debt, its trade deficit, budget deficit, capital account deficit and savings rate deficit, into a position in the global driver seat through the dollar remaining global hub currency. This economic arrangement has allowed the United States to achieve an unparalleled strategic advantage over its geopolitical opponents and, has allowed a practically unlimited dollar spending capacity even as the US accumulates an astronomical public debt that is now over 21 trillion dollars. Most of this spending was used for its military, but not for the American health and wellness.
