Can Armageddon Be Avoided? by Paul Craig Roberts

Is the West, Lost in its Own Lies, Trapped in the Pending Disaster Washington Has Brewed?

December is almost here and brings my quarterly appeal for your support. The situation in the world is more threatening than ever before. Putin has had to make it clear that a continuation of missile attacks on Russia will result in retribution. The new missile Putin has revealed can destroy all United States and NATO military forces in the West and Middle East without the use of nuclear warheads. If the United States then goes nuclear, Russian nuclear forces will destroy the entirety of the West. Indeed, Steve Starr shows that the entire world will be the victim of American psychopaths.

In the face of such a warning, only totally irresponsible psychopaths would persist. The sway of psychopaths over the United States and Europe means we have to be concerned that Washington,D.C. will "test the waters" by expending the permissible area and distance for the ATACMs to be fired into Russia.

I have been convinced that it would come to this crisis from day one of President Putins limited military operation. Russia needed to immediately knock Ukraine out before the West could get involved.

Now the Wests prestige is on the line. President Putin tolerated provocations in order to avoid widening the conflict, but his patience with the West backfired as it resulted in the belief that Putins warnings are meaningless as "he never does anything."

Putin has backed up as far as he can. His back is against the wall. Putin cannot accept missiles being fired into Russia by the United States and NATO.

At this point only psychopaths would "test the waters" which means playing with nuclear armageddon. But psychopaths are in charge.

The Ukraine conflict was prepared and unleashed by United States neoconservatives in the belief that it would destabilize Russia and perhaps lead to the breakup of the Russian Federation. Putin should not have let it go as far as he did before he acted. Putin was too slow to realize that Washington,D.C. intends Russias destruction.

That a few Zionist neoconservatives can push the world to the brink in their pursuit of United States hegemony indicates the failure of Western governance. The situation in the Middle East is equally dangerous. It is being driven by clearing out obstacles to Greater Israel and Washington,D.C.s desire to control oil flows and waterways.

A bad outcome seems inevitable, because the Western world is lost in the lies of its official narrative. There is no reality recognition.

If you read Johnsons Russian List, a daily collection of foreign affairs and military articles by "experts," what you mainly see is stupidity and self-delusion. Most of the authors are supported in one way or the other by military-security grants, so there is no questioning. To tell the truth in the Western world today you must be independent. Without readers support of truth-telling websites, there will be no truth.

Propaganda has implanted the mistaken belief that Russia, China, and Iran are enemies that must be opposed and defeated. Yet Russia, China, and Iran have taken no hostile actions against the West.

All three have accepted illegally imposed sanctions and other hostile actions without responding in kind. The Pentagon and the United States military-security complex see in their image of the enemies that propaganda has created for the West a danger that must be countered by a nuclear buildup.

One trillion dollars are to be spent "modernizing" nuclear weapons whose only possible use is world destruction. No thought and no attention is given to defusing the situation.

Remember, in 2016 the CIA, FBI, and Deep State turned violently on President Trump when he said he intended to defuse the situation by normalizing relations with Russia. The Establishments response was "Russiagate," impeachments, indictments. Without enemies, the profits and power of the military-security complex diminish.

Now the Establishment is trying to saddle President Trump with a war with Russia as he enters office. This is the work of psychopaths.

When United States of Americans accepted the stolen 2020 election, they accepted the reign of psychopaths who define peace as Washington,D.C.s hegemony.

Any government in the way of Washington,D.C.s hegemony is defined as an enemy. They are enemies not because they threaten the United States. They are enemies because they insist on their independence from Washington,D.C.s hegemony.

Americans have been deceived that Russia, China, and Iran are enemies out to get them. Belief in this lie makes the Western world blind to the fact that its leaders are evil psychopaths leading the world to Armageddon.

Tucker Carlson sees what it happening. He declares it "the most evil thing I have seen in my lifetime." "please see here:"
