'A Formula For Catastrophe'

Can The U.S. Trust Russophobes with Foreign Policy?



Biden on TV January 19 Threatening Russia with Disastrous Consequences and Being Held Accountable if She Invades Ukraine raises the question why Washington wasn’t held accountable when Washington invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and overthrew Ukraine with a color revolution? It is Washington that has invaded Ukraine, not Russia.

How come it is only Russia who is yet to invade anyone who is to be held accountable?

And how is Biden going to hold Russia accountable and deliver disastrous consequences to Russia?

Washington could not defeat a few thousand lightly armed Taliban, or the Viet Cong, or a third world Chinese army 70 years ago in Korea. No one thinks Washington can defeat a Russian army. If the highly disciplined and motivated Wehrmacht that had the advantage of surprise couldn’t do it, no country can do it.

Note that no member of the presstitute media asked Biden why he has chosen NOT to defuse the situation by accommodating Russia’s security need. Why has Washington decided NOT to give peace a chance? This is the question of our time, and it is not asked.

Such pertinent questions do not occur to Americans, because they are indoctrinated to see Russia as the enemy. It is a holdover from the 20th century Cold War. Americans are accustomed to regarding Russia as the enemy.

Consequently, Americans do not see the danger in a situation in which America’s chief foreign policy officials, such as Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland, are Russophobes bubbling over with hatred of Russia. When the people entrusted with critical negotiations with the other side have emotional hatred of the other side, there is no balance. Emotion wins over reason, and the chance for accommodation is lost.

Russia has been patient with Washington while her strength grew. Today Russia is a preeminent military power backed by another preeminent power, China, and Washington carries on in delusions of omnipotence.

This is a formula for catastrophe.

“They call these uncertain times, but are they really uncertain? For those who understand Bible Prophecy, the times became quite certain with the birth of modern Israel in 1948. These are the days of the budding fig tree. Times of the end as the new beginning dawns. Societal upheavals, natural disasters, and the threat of new and more horrible kinds of war create fear and anguish across the world. But the Bible said these things would happen during the days not long before the return of Jesus Christ.

The Bible’s accuracy should give us tremendous comfort. Through it God demonstrates His authority and His ultimate control. He did not create us then leave us to fend for ourselves. He remains active and interested in our lives. He offers to make us part of His forever family.

And when you’re one of His, He has a Bible full of promises that give you comfort and hope in times of trouble. In Matthew 6:26 Jesus reminded His followers of His Father’s care for the birds of the air, they do not sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, and your Heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?”
