War With Russia: Alastair Crooke agrees with PCR
Here is Alastair Crooke’s full article:
http://www.conflictsforum.org/2015/cornering-russia-risking-world-war-iii/
Alastair Crooke, a British diplomat, was a senior person in British intelligence.
Crooke has come to the same conclusions as I have:
Compare Crooke:
“we should perhaps contemplate the paradox that Russia’s determination to try to avoid war is leading to war”
“Russia’s low-key and carefully crafted responses to such provocations as the ambush of its SU-24 bomber in Syria; and President Putin’s calm rhetoric, are all being used by Washington and London to paint Russia as a ‘paper tiger,’ whom no one needs fear.”
“Russia is being offered only the binary choice: to acquiesce to the ‘benevolent’ hegemon, or to prepare for war”
With PCR: http://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2015/12/07/war-is-on-the-horizon-is-it-too-late-to-stop-it-paul-craig-roberts/
“Washington used Russia’s low key response to the attack, for which Turkey did not apologize, to reassure Europe that Russia is a paper tiger. The Western presstitutes trumpeted: ‘Russia A Paper Tiger.’”
“The Russian government’s low key response to the provocation was used by Washington to reassure Europe that there is no risk in continuing to pressure Russia in the Middle East, Ukraine, Georgia, Montenegro, and elsewhere. Washington’s attack on Assad’s military is being used to reinforce the belief that is being inculcated in European governments that Russia’s responsible behavior to avoid war is a sign of fear and weakness.”
“the only choices left to Russia and China are to accept American vassalage or to prepare for war.”
“Russia’s low key, responsible responses have been used by Washington to paint Russia as a paper tiger that no one needs to fear.“
“We are left with the paradox that Russia’s determination to avoid war is leading directly to war.”
The US government pays its trolls to ridicule those who highlight the dangerous and reckless implications of the neocon’s hegemonic policy. Now the trolls will have
to go after a senior person in British intelligence.
