Russia Announces Imminent “Direct Conflict With NATO Fascist Bloc

Sorcha Faal

A gravely foreboding new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first notes Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev announced to the world that a nuclear weapons power conflict is imminent with the declaration last evening: “NATO has turned into an openly fascist bloc similar to Hitler’s Axis, only bigger...It looks like Russia is being left with little choice other than a direct conflict with NATO...The result would be much heavier losses for humanity than in 1945”.

In confirmation that the imminent “direct conflict” between Russia and the American-led military bloc NATO will see “losses for humanity” that are “much heavier” then at the end of World War II in 1945, this report notes, the Ministry of Defense (MoD) revealed that the corrupt puppet state Ukraine currently waging a proxy war against Russia for its socialist Western colonial puppet masters lost 17,000 troops in September, which brings the number of Ukrainian servicemen killed since their so-called counteroffensive began in June to over 83,000

—in response to these staggering losses, top Ukrainian official Oleksiy Arestovych grimly warned his peoples about the conflict battlefield: “All men, believe me, everyone will go there”—following the MoD revealing: “Ukraine has also parted with more than 2,700 pieces of military equipment over the same period” and announcing: “Russian forces launched a cruise missile strike at the joint ammunition depot of the Ukrainian troops destroying more than 3,000 tonnes of ammo”, it saw top Ukrainian official Arestovych fearfully telling the West: “We may need everything”—all of which caused Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu to most factually observe:

 “The United States and its allies continue arming the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and the Kiev regime continues sending untrained soldiers to senseless attacks to slaughter...Such cynical actions of the West and their henchmen can only push Ukraine to self-destruction...The Ministry continues increasing the combat power of the Russian Armed Forces, by supplying modern weapons and improving training based on the experience of the special operation...The consistent implementation of measures and activity plans until 2025 will allow us to achieve our goals”. 

With the goals of Russia being the total and complete defeat of the godless warmongering socialist Western colonial powers by 2025, this report continues, it is a replaying of what occurred during World War II when the Russian peoples of the former Soviet Union had to sacrifice over 27 million in order to defeat the genocidal white master race military forces of the National Socialist German Workers' Party—and is otherwise known as the Nazi Party, that took control over Germany and abolished its civilian economy to create one based on military socialism, which needed continual warfare in order to survive. 

During World War II, this report details, the United States lost 419,000 peoples fighting against Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan, but instead of disarming after the worst conflict in human history, the Americans adopted the Nazi economic policy of military socialism they branded with the unofficial phrase of military industrial complex (MIC), whose predictable result has led to nearly 80 years of continuous wars costing trillions-of-dollars and millions of lives all over the world.

Today about 2.1 million people are employed by the defense industry.  According to Acara Solutions, a major MIC recruiting firm, their average annual salary is $106,700, 40 percent higher than the national average.  The companies they work for produced revenues in 2022 of $741 billion.  How much of their production is high-priced junk, no one knows.  The performance of U.S.-produced armaments in the Ukraine conflict does not seem impressive.  No modern U.S. weapons have ever been tested in an industrial-type war against an equal adversary. 

The MIC also includes active-duty uniformed personnel of 1.37 million and reserves of 849,000.  There are 750 U.S. military bases in more than 80 countries outside of the U.S.  More than 100,000 U.S. military personnel are stationed in Europe.  Annual salary and benefits of the military are currently $146 billion per year, escalating with COLAs compounded at two to three percent annually, sometimes more.  Some former U.S. military personnel are assumed to be fighting in Ukraine as mercenaries or helping direct the fighting from safe locations like Kiev or Lvov.

Then there are the civilian employees.  According to the DoD, it employs more than 700,000 civilians “in an array of critical positions worldwide”, with compensation totaling about $70 billion.  According to the Government Accountability Office, we may also add 560,000 contractor employees, whose compensation is typically higher than the career workforce. 

We can also add hundreds of thousands of executives, managers, employees and contractors of the three-letter Deep State agencies, such as the CIA, NSA, DEA, FBI, and now DHS, etc., who interface with the MIC day in and day out and are part of the same fabric of state-sanctioned force and enemy identification and interdiction.

Today, the MIC has one overriding mission: protect the overseas interests of big U.S. banks, investment and hedge funds, and multinational corporations.  The biggest U.S. defense firm is Lockheed, which itself is largely owned by three giant hedge funds: State Street, Vanguard, and BlackRock.  The CIA is there to control foreign governments, overthrow them as needed, and keep foreign leaders and journalists on the payroll while quaking with fear for their careers or even lives.  The paradigm is most egregious in Europe, which the Anglo-Americans view as vassals, with the E.U. a policeman.  NATO is an enforcement mechanism for U.S./U.K. control, not to defend against Russia, which today has no discernible interest in political control over Europe, even if it were capable of making such a move, which it isn’t.

Rather than defend against a non-existent Russian threat, the West would love to get its hands on Russian oil, gas, and mineral resources, as it began to do in the 1990s before Putin took over and fostered a nationalistic revival.  The U.S. had long been targeting the Caspian Basin and Central Asia, which now seemed vulnerable with the separation from Russia of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Kazakhstan.  These countries are still in play for the West, as are the microstates of the Caucasus. 

The 2014 U.S.-sponsored coup in Ukraine was partly for acquisition of Ukrainian land and resources, including the fertile farmland of the steppes.  Big players are Cargill, ADM, and BlackRock, along with numerous E.U. companies.  Despite global warming and professions of getting rid of fossil fuels, trying to get hold of hydrocarbons worldwide remains a matter of Western urgency.

But with the current situation, another dimension is “dollar hegemony”.  This brings us to BRICS. Perhaps the biggest threat to Western economic imperialism is the formation of the economic compact consisting of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.  As the Ukraine conflict deepens, BRICS expansion has become of particular importance to Russia, as it is obviously a means of outflanking the West and beating it at its own geopolitical game.

At the South African BRICS summit of August 22-24, 2023, six new nations were added: Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Argentina, leading to BRICS+.  Added to the earlier rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran, the effects of BRICS and its expansion are seismic.  Additional nations that have expressed an interest in BRICS are Cuba, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Comoros, Gabon, Kazakhstan, and at least a dozen others. 

The potential of BRICS is the inclusion of half or more of the world’s population.  BRICS economies had overtaken G-7 economies by 2012, and the gap between BRICS and G-7 economies is widening irreversibly.

GDP is not a viable measure of economic performance for “reserve currency” nations like the U.S. that can print money “out of thin air”.  But there is a linear relationship between real goods production and energy.  Thus a much more reliable economic performance evaluation can be inferred from electricity generation, as the following chart illustrates: 

As BRICS, ASEAN and other countries increasingly trade in national currencies in lieu of Western reserve currencies, this results in weakening of those Western currencies, as evidenced by the drop in their purchasing power, aka inflation.  Over time, the standards of living commensurate with the production of tradable goods will result in growing poverty in the U.S. and the EU that will result in social instability.  But the damage will fall largely to the lower income echelons, resulting in growth in an already unsustainable wealth disparity, with the GINI factor for wealth distribution in the U.S. reaching 0.85 in 2020. 

This explains several observations:

1. Why BRICS do not find it necessary to issue a new currency: Trade in national currencies will bring an end to the wealth siphoning mechanism of U.S. dollar hegemony. 

2. Why Russia and China are trying to maintain non-confrontational policies despite provocations: As trade away from the U.S., UK, and EU increases with growing use of national currencies, political instability, particularly in the most de-industrialized Western nations, will result.  Social discontent and political instability can already be witnessed throughout the West.  This will only increase as impoverishment spreads due to depreciating currencies, leading to eventual implosion of the neoliberal political system.  Thus Russia, China, and other sovereign nations have adopted a policy of “wait it out” rather than risk a kinetic war which would result in the deaths of millions.  Nevertheless, these countries are embarking on an accelerated program of military development, along with strengthened alliances, in case war is inevitable. 

3. Why the West is embarking on highly aggressive policies: The neoliberal cabals in control of the West realize that the changes occurring in the world, particularly as regards the monetary and financial global architecture, spell their doom, and hence are increasingly acting hysterically, fomenting conflict and chaos wherever they can.

It is dollar hegemony, dating back to the World War II-era Bretton Woods Agreements and the Nixonian removal of the international currency gold peg, that has allowed the U.S. to attempt overcoming its massive trade deficit and its public debt at $33.1 trillion and growing.  Only by selling trillions of dollars of Treasury bonds to foreign countries, especially China, Japan, and Korea, has the U.S. been able to straddle the globe with the hundreds of military bases and other facilities it relies on to secure a world order friendly to its interests.  For decades, foreign countries have needed dollars to trade in petroleum and other commodities.  But with BRICS, that imperative may end sooner rather than later.  Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen has said this will never happen, but other policy makers are seeing the writing on the wall. 

Are the prospects of BRICS so serious that the U.S. could launch World War III against its main powers, Russia, China, and now Iran, as a last-ditch act of desperation as its entire world order veers toward collapse?

It hardly bodes well that these three nations, along with North Korea, have been identified by Republican Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee as the new “axis of evil”.  She speaks for much of the U.S. political class.
