Addendum: Try to imagine President Reagan’s Attorney General sending FBI agents into former president Jimmy Carter’s home.  Reagan would have instantly fired the attorney general and FBI director.  Try to imagine any FBI agent carrying out the assignment.  Such an assignment would have destroyed their faith in the agency, and they would have resigned.

The Absence of Realism Means Anything Can Happen Paul Craig Roberts Here are the Russians again wasting their time and energy at US-dominated International organizations by taking their concern with Ukraine’s military attacks on the Zaporozhye nuclear plant to the UN.

Gestapo Democrats Paul Craig Roberts The Democrats in power in Washington have weaponized the FBI and Department of Justice (sic) in an effort to criminalize President Trump.  They tried this with Russiagate, with impeachment, with their fabricated January 6 Insurrection, and now they have sent an army of FBI agents into Trump’s home, relying on the presstitutes to tell a…

The Kremlin’s Efforts to Avoid Conflict Brings More Conflict Paul Craig Roberts The Kremlin has demonstrated that Russia is reluctant to take decisive action.  That doesn’t mean Russia won’t.  Indeed, the Kremlin’s reluctance almost guarantees that Russia will be forced into decisive action.

Our Destroyed Country Paul Craig Roberts In a way Hitler won WW II.  Jewish cultural Marxists fled Germany and brought their “march through the institutions” to America.  They marched first through the universities and then the public schools, and they succeeded in separating the Democrat Party, corporate leadership, and much of the intellectual and educated population from the Western moral…

Washington’s Aggression and the Kremlin’s Restraint Are Leading to Armageddon Paul Craig Roberts The Kremlin continues to invite more provocations that are leading to war.  Indoctrinated Western peoples do not realize how liberal the Kremlin is.  Russia, alone among the powerful countries, has taken it upon herself to uphold the international rule of law and adherence to business contracts and…

Ukraine Update # 11 Paul Craig Roberts The Kremlin intended Russia’s intervention in Ukraine to be limited to Donbass.

A Color Revolution for Uzbekistan? Paul Craig Roberts Here I am again like a broken record repeating that the Kremlin’s toleration of provocations guarantees that the Kremlin will experience more provocations.  To again repeat myself, Washington broke up the Soviet Union in order to create independent countries on Russia’s borders that, with “color revolutions,” could be turned against Russia. So…

The Normalization of Perversion Paul Craig Roberts Many years ago I wrote that the normalization and legitimization of the first sexual perversion would set the precedent and all others would follow.

The Federal Reserve’s Policy Is Mistaken Paul Craig Roberts Normally, recessions are the result of a reduction in liquidity by the Federal Reserve, the central bank, which is signaled by a rise in interest rates.  Normally, recessions are short-run affairs of 6 to 9 months.  Unemployment, which is as costly in its way as inflation, causes the Federal Reserve to…

The Kremlin’s Hesitancy and Prevarication Is a Road to War Paul Craig Roberts The Kremlin emanates confusion.  The Kremlin is doing its best to appease the West, and the West won’t let them.  Just consider the matter of Russia servicing its foreign debt.  The West has done everything possible to prevent Russia from servicing her debt, and Russia has done…

If the Kremlin ever Wakes Up Things Will Go Badly for the West Paul Craig Roberts As I have emphasized for a number of years, the Kremlin’s passivity in the face of provocations encourages more and worse provocations.

Clarification: In this article I write that under the neoconservative Wolfowitz Doctrine of US hegemony, “the Kremlin has two choices. Russia can surrender its sovereignty or Russia can destroy the West. Russia has no other alternative. The entire world needs to understand this.” I am not advocating that Russia destroy the West. I am simply pointing out that for three…
