Since the shooting down of the Malaysian flight MH17 over Donetsk in Eastern Ukraine, the US regime and it’s media whores have been running around like crazy trying to blame the incident on Russia, without presenting any credible evidence to back up their accusations.
To the ignorant and naïve, this looks to be Russia’s fault, and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s.
But to those who have been paying attention to US foreign policy for a while this all looks like a classic setup of Russia by the US.
From the degenerate view of the US ruling elites, Russia under Putin has committed some cardinal sins which are unforgivable, and which must be punished.
They are:
-Modernization of Russian economy and infrastructure with money Russia previously held in Wall St. banks
-Independent foreign policy not dependent on Washington
-The eviction of pro-US NGOs whose aim was to meddle in Russian internal affairs, thereby causing destabilization and manipulation of Russia’s political and electoral processes, and promoting pro-US “reformers” who would take orders from Washington and Brussels.
-Moving away from dollar as reserve, trade, and oil currency
-Gas deal with China which will make Russia less reliant on Europe as an energy customer and less susceptible to US sanctions
-The successful peaceful Russian prevention of the US drive to war with Syria after Russia convinced Bashar Assad to scrap chemical weapons, a process that has been successfully completed
-Most modern and well-organized winter Olympics to date, which were a success, regardless of US/EU slander
-The recently-announced formation of a BRICS development bank, which undermines the broke and corrupt IMF that the US uses to exercise control over the world’s economy
-Russia’s regaining of control over Crimea by popular referendum, which deprives NATO of a strategic location
-The blowback from US-instigated Ukrainian regime change operation which has led to political and economic chaos
All these Russian accomplishments are an inexcusable slap in the face of the US Empire, and have to be punished.
This erratic and dangerous US behavior towards Russia is driven by the fact that the US is a declining power, which no longer has the economic and political clout to get its way every time without any opposition.
Countries are starting to distance themselves from the US who they rightfully see as reckless and out of touch with reality.
The US Empire doesn’t like this, and they refuse to accept it. More importantly, they don’t know what to do about it, so they lash out in the most extreme and violent ways to hold onto their slippery grip on power.
So they decided to punish Russia.
First, the US supported and encouraged the over throw of a democratically-elected Ukrainian government and replacing it with their own hand-picked junta creatures, who threatened ethnic Russians. This led to the Eastern part of Ukraine revolting against Kiev.
This was an attempt to pull Ukraine away from Russia and close to US in order to isolate Russia.
After months of violence and deaths, Putin, who continuously called for a cease-fire and a negotiated settlement, was blamed for the violence, and for supporting the anti-government fighters.
Then sanctions were slapped on Russia, in order to provoke it into attacking Ukraine and creating an excuse for more sanctions.
Russia didn’t take the bait, and then a day or so after Russia signed the development bank agreement, the Malaysian flight MH17 was brought down.
US immediately blamed Russia, and without any evidence to back up any of the accusations, put sanctions on Russian banks, energy companies, and weapons makers. The weak EU followed after being threatened with all kinds of measures against its banks and other entities which operated on US soil.
US didn’t even bother presenting any evidence. All they managed to do was release some grainy satellite images on social media on a Sunday morning, when no one was paying any attention.
This is a really shoddy and unprofessional way to convey such important information, and the world can only assume that the info is B.S. since no US official was available to comment on it.
US intelligence quietly admitted that there’s no evidence tying Russia or anti-Kiev fighters to the downing of the plane, and that they don’t know who was responsible (which is US-speak for “we/ the Ukrainians did it, but won’t admit it”).
There’s a pattern developing here that’s hard to miss to those who have been paying attention to world events for at least a year.
Let’s go back to the summer of 2013. Edward Snowden reveals the extent of the NSA wiretapping and spying program worldwide. From the revelations Germany finds out that US has been spying on Chancellor Angela Merkel as well as the entire country. Germany gets pissed off and launches investigations.
Suddenly, a chemical gas attack is launched in Damascus-at a time when the Syrian military is gaining ground against militants. US immediately blames the Syrian government, without presenting any evidence to back up their accusations, starts threatening Syria with all-out war, distracts and scares its EU vassals back into submission and compliance. German investigations come to an inconclusive end.
Almost a year later, Germany starts uncovering a US spy network and arrests spies working in high government positions. Germany is angry and fed up. It wants to end intelligence cooperation with US and demands US agrees not to spy on Germany again. US naturally refuses. US –German relations get very chilly.
Suddenly, flight MH17 is shot down over Eastern Ukraine-as the militants are successfully fighting back regime troops. US immediately blames Russia and anti-Kiev fighters, again without any evidence to back up the accusations. Again, US vassals are scared and forced into line with US demands, Russia is demonized and sanctioned. As a result, Germany goes along with US sanctions, and may very well backpedal on confronting the US and holding it accountable for spying.
So just from these two examples, but there are others to be sure, we can clearly see that whenever the US regime gets caught doing something nefarious and illegal, suddenly some event occurs which is used by the US to point a finger at someone else, distract the public, scare its vassals back into line and shut them up.
There’s no way that these events can be coincidences, especially when the US has no evidence to prove that any of those whom they blamed in both cases were guilty.
Case in point, it’s been almost a year since the sarin gas attack in Syria, and investigations show that the attacks were not carried out by Syrian army or with Syrian government knowledge. Evidence points to it being a rebel false-flag attack which was then blamed on Syria. No wonder why US media has been totally silent on this for months now.
Ditto for the shooting down of the MH17 flight. There’s no evidence that Russia was involved. Even the lying idiot Kerry was forced to grudgingly admit this when questioned officially.
Most of the world doesn’t buy US accusations anymore. After the Iraqi WMD debacle, only a moron will.
But there’s something else going on here which many people aren’t aware of.
US attempts to provoke, demonize, falsely accuse, sanction, and isolate Russia are not simply directed at Russia and Putin for having independent policies. No, it’s also directed at the EU.
Both Russia and the EU are US adversaries, whether anyone cares to officially admit it or not. Russia is a strategic/military adversary, and the EU is an economic adversary.
Before the 2008 economic collapse, the EU was overtaking the US economically in virtually every sphere. Then Poof! EU was cut down to size, and has been languishing ever since.
Also, Russia and the EU have been getting closer economically over the past years, and this threatened US economic and strategic control of Europe.
What the US has stirred up in the Ukraine is about keeping the EU and Russia divided, and their economies weakened so that neither one dares to supplant the US or its influence in any way, shape or form.
Don’t believe me? Recently the US slapped French banks with fines because of France’s refusal to cancel the Mistral helicopter ship deal with Russia.
US also threatened German banks operating in the US with investigations and fines for supposed “violations.” This was undoubtedly done to force Germany to pass economic sanctions against Russia, as well as punishment for daring to stand up to the US over the spying scandal.
Ironically, Russia is actually suffering less than the EU. This brings to mind the saying that it’s bad to have the US as your enemy, but even worse to have the US as your friend.
From the looks of it, it’s a true statement.
