Support your website Dumbshit Russians? Paul Craig Roberts As readers know, I refer often to “dumbshit Americans.”  I am beginning to wonder if the same applies to Russians.   As for dumbshit Americans, the evidence is never ending. We now have a Pew Research poll of Americans, if it is accurate, that finds that 36% of American Republicans and 35%…

Will Russia Be a Victim of Her Own Good Intentions? Paul Craig Roberts The Kremlin set out to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine with a minimum of civilian casualties.  No American style “shock and awe.”  When the Ukrainian militias heard this, they knew what to do.  They located themselves and their heavy weapons in the middle of civilian populations. From there…

Washington and Moscow Vie for the Stupid Prize Paul Craig Roberts Is it Washington or the Kremlin which is the most confused about sanctions and their impact?  Washington and Europe have made it very clear that sanctions do not apply to payments for Russian energy and minerals.  Only the US has banned the import of Russian gas and oil.  As…

Ukraine Update #6 Paul Craig Roberts A few remarks before I take the day off.  Nonsensical news reports continue to appear in the media. The New York Times reports:  “In less than a week, the United States and NATO have pushed more than 17,000 antitank weapons, including Javelin missiles, over the borders of Poland and Romania,”  https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/06/us/politics/us-ukraine-weapons.html    Blinken gives…

Ukraine Update #4 Paul Craig Roberts It is difficult work to give an accurate account of events in Ukraine. The Western media is entirely useless, consisting of fake news reports of Russian atrocities, casualties, defeats, and endless meaningless threats from impotent Western “leaders.”  Ukrainian news reports are even more ridiculous than the Iraqi ones during the US invasion.  Moreover as…

Ukraine Update #3 Paul Craig Roberts Begin by reading Michael Hudson’s explanation that the sanctions actually fall on Germany and serve the interests of the three interest groups who rule in Washington. https://www.unz.com/mhudson/america-defeats-germany-for-the-third-time-in-a-century/   The sanctions do far more to serve Washington’s interest than to hurt Russia’s.  For Russia the main burden of the sanctions is the insult. Russia is…

A Quick Decisive Victory Can Prevent a Wider War Paul Craig Roberts I am beginning to think Russia will lose the war, and her credibility with it, to negotiation.  For the third time the Kremlin has taken the negotiation bait.  According to the Russian news agency Tass, Russian and Ukrainian delegations will meet at an undisclosed location in Belarus for…

Difficult to Find a Way Out of the War that is Enveloping Us Paul Craig Roberts I will leave it to Glenn Greenwald to tell you how small the chance is of avoiding war– “War Propaganda About Ukraine Becoming More Militaristic, Authoritarian, and Reckless” https://greenwald.substack.com/p/war-propaganda-about-ukraine-becoming?utm_source=url  The American people are too brainwashed and disinformed to have any idea of what might…

Update: It is stunning that no one in the Western leadership or media understood that Russia was serious about her security concern.  Whether the West regarded the Kremlin’s concern as warranted or not, everything should have been done to reassure Russia.  Instead, the opposite was done.  The idiot Stoltenberg said “if the Kremlin’s aim is to have less NATO on…

  Update: Ramzan Kadyrov, the  leader of the province of Chechnya  commands some of Russia’s most feared combat units. He said Russia’s tactics are not working because they are too sluggish.  The West has armed Ukraine with new generation heavy artillery and weapons, while Russia is not using its heavy artillery and weapons such as TOS.  It seems that even…

Washington Takes Us a Step Closer to War Paul Craig Roberts It is important that you understand that according to news reports the US government and its British puppet are sanctioning the persons of Putin and Lavrov as I write.  Putin has already said that any such insult will result in the break of diplomatic relations.  Either the governments of…

Ukraine Update #2 Paul Craig Roberts The function of the Western media is to turn fiction into fact and lie into truth. Once the narrative is established, it is repeated endlessly.  I worked hard yesterday to give my readers a true account of the situation.  Today I will update the military situation and point out difficulties that the Kremlin might…

The News Headlines Tell All US recognizes it cannot stand up to Russia: “Latest US Sanctions Not Designed to Cause Any Disruption to Current Flow Of Energy From Russia to The World, White House Claims” In 90 days Ukraine will not exist: “Zelensky Declares to Hold General Mobilization in Ukraine Within Next 90 Days” Moreover, the neo-Nazis will be dead…

Update on the Ukrainian situation Ukrainian resistance seems to have ceased as its infrastructure was put out of operation.

  “They didn’t hear what we told them. They had better hear this time.” — Vladimir Putin Paul Craig Roberts Think back to 2014 when the US overthrew the Ukrainian government and installed a neo-Nazi regime. The neocons were smirking, laughing at how easy it was to buffalo the Russians. Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland publicly bragged about how…

Europe Is Killing Itself With Its Russian Sanctions Paul Craig Roberts The sharp rise in natural gas price in Europe is entirely due to Western hysteria and stupidity. According to the EU’s own data, Europe is dependent on Russia for 46% of its natural gas. In the face of such extraordinary dependency on Russian energy, the moronic European “leaders” are…

Breaking News : Russia Demilitarizes Ukraine Can the West Come to its Senses or Does the West Have any Sense to Come to?

Russia and China Should Go Their Own Way The West is the last thing they need Paul Craig Roberts Yesterday Russia created a new world. The Hegemon is dead.

Baiting the Bear Is Becoming a Dangerous Game Paul Craig Roberts What the so-called Russian experts and politicians all forget is that the US does not have troops scattered about in Poland, Romania, the Baltic states and other Eastern European late comers to NATO because Washington cares about these countries and feels morally obliged to protect them from Russia, which…

  Breaking News: Russia and Belarus Reassemble Forces as Ukraine Attacks Donbass It is Amazing: Donbass Russians Are Under Attack from US Trained and Armed Ukrainians and the Kremlin Thinks the Answer is Negotiations It seems Russia is so averse to using force that she will be pulled into a major war. https://sputniknews.com/20220220/russia-belarus-to-continue-joint-checks-of-response-forces-amid-escalation-in-donbass-1093197697.html    NATO No Longer a Defensive Alliance…

The Washington Post:  The Voice of the CIA Paul Craig Roberts The Washington Post has always been a CIA asset.  The CIA used the Washington Post to orchestrate the Watergate narrative used to drive President Nixon out of office. The CIA wanted Nixon gone, because Nixon was threatening the military/security complex’s budget and power by making arms control  agreements with…

Washington Has Prepared an Invasion Narrative Paul Craig Roberts Feb 17, 2022 The other day I asked, “What is Washington up to?”  It is already time to ask that question again.  While writing my article suggesting that only a judicious use of Russian force would sober up the West, Washington doubled down on its anti-Russian position, predicting in two news…

Negotiations Have Got Russia Nowhere Paul Craig Roberts One wonders if Putin and Lavrov will ever understand that there is no possibility whatsoever of having a successful negotiation of Russia’s security concerns with Washington.  There are powerful reasons for this impossibility and the reasons are powerfully obvious. One reason is that Washington greatly prefers Russia as an enemy than as…

What to do about Inflation Paul Craig Roberts Americans live from threat to threat. Now that the “covid threat” and the “Russian threat” have played out, we have the “inflation threat,” but is it any more real? It is true that the Central Bank has poured out unprecedented amounts of money for more than a decade.  The excuses were:  to…

By all Measures the US Has the World’s Most Incompetent Government and the Worst Media Paul Craig Roberts US President Biden claims Russian troops continue “encircling Ukraine” even as Moscow says they are withdrawing.

So Biden, Sullivan, Stoltenberg, UK PM & defense officials, presstitutes, where is the “Russian Invasion”? Paul Craig Roberts So Biden, where is the “imminent Russian Invasion of Ukraine?”  Where, Jake Sullivan, is the “major military action that could begin any day now?”  Where UK government, CNN, MSNBC, NPR, NY Times, Bloomberg, Washington Post, BBC, and the rest of the presstitutes…

Serious Unaddressed Business Paul Craig Roberts The attention given to the growing public resistance to “vaccine” mandates and to the “Russian invasion of Ukraine,” allegedly to happen at any moment, has left equally serious problems without attention.   Two unattended very serious problems are the continuing research in weaponizing viruses and making them contagious that is financed by Fauci at…

Since Washington Wants War So Badly Why Doesn’t Washington Simply Attack Russia? Paul Craig Roberts Washington keeps on adding fuel to what it says is a Ukrainian crisis.  Washington puppet Jens Stoltenberg, the nominal secretary-general of NATO, says NATO is considering a larger and permanent Black Sea presence.  The Black Sea is to Russia what the Mediterranean Sea was to…

Russia Is Learning the Price of Relying on Diplomacy with the West Paul Craig Roberts Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said the US, UK and other US puppets know something that Russia doesn’t as they are removing embassy staff and preventing travel to Ukraine.  As this is indication that the US and Ukraine have a provocation ready, Russia will…

Update: “The Chairman of the State Duma  said that the issue of official recognition by Russia of the Donbass republics will be considered on Feb 14.”  I fear the Russians have waited too long.

Someone Needs to Tell the Kremlin that the “Ukraine Crisis” Is Over Paul Craig Roberts As I have warned for some time, sooner or later the Kremlin will lose its patience with Washington and its European puppet states.  Signs of this are now appearing.  The normally very diplomatic Russian Foreign Minister, Lavrov,  just compared his discussion with his British counterpart,…

Every State With An Income Tax Is A Slave State Paul Craig Roberts The headline might seem extravagant, but it is true. Readers might not realize its truth, because people tend to associate slavery with confinement, but that is incorrect. The slave was confined to his place of work, because that is where his labor was used and mobility in…

I am all for the Canadian Truckers. They have carried three provinces of Canada and a judge with them, but I doubt it will be as easy as they think.

Tyranny Ahead Paul Craig Roberts The most dangerous form of tyranny has raised its head simultaneously in Canada and the United States. The exercise of civil liberty is being criminalized.

There Is No Ukrainian Crisis Paul Craig Roberts The task of the American media is not objective journalism. The task is to support the official narrative.
