Armageddon Is Closer Than You Think Paul Craig Roberts The world is facing catastrophe, and there is no awareness.  For years I and Stephen Cohen, while he was still alive,  advised that Washington’s provocations of Russia, including those of its NATO puppet states, were misguided and counter-productive.  Even prior to the fall of the Soviet Union, Gorbachev was open for…

Putin Misplays His Cards, what Could Have Been a Winning Hand has become the Road to Armageddon Paul Craig Roberts Every day that passes raises my concern that the Kremlin is mishandling a dangerous situation and making it more dangerous.  Putin and Lavrov send every wrong signal.  The message they should be sending is “Don’t Tread on Me.”  Instead, Lavrov…

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. I have expressed concern that the provocations will cross a red line, and the Kremlin will cease being a passive receiver of…

Was the Last Chance for Avoidance of Nuclear Armageddon Lost? Paul Craig Roberts Russia’s Ukrainian intervention in behalf of the former part of Russia  known as the Donbass region consisting of two Russian recognized independent republics, Donetsk and Luhansk, could have served as a warning to the West and ended Washington’s provocations of Russia that are leading to nuclear armageddon.…

The Kremlin Never Learns Paul Craig Roberts Thinking that Ukraine had agreed, or was about to agree, to be a neutral country, Russia pulled its troops out of the Kiev area.  These troops had surrounded Kiev and occupied its suburbs.  When the Russians left, a propaganda blitz erupted in the Western whore media and government councils that the Russians had…

  Support your website Ukrainian Update # 8 Paul Craig Roberts It seems the Kremlin still has delusions that there is morality in the West.

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…

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…

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…
