Our Prospects Against the Russians & Chinese in WW3 | Paul C. Roberts

The Saker reports that Russia is preparing for World War III, not because Russia intends to initiate aggression but because Russia is alarmed by the hubris and arrogance of the West, by the demonization of Russia, by provocative military actions by the West, by American interference in the Russian province of Chechnya and in former Russian provinces of Ukraine and Georgia, and by the absence of any restraint from Western Europe on Washington’s ability to foment war.

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts
Like Steven Starr, Stephen Cohen, myself, and a small number of others, the Saker understands the reckless irresponsibility of convincing Russia that the United States intends to attack her.
It is extraordinary to see the confidence that many Americans place in their military’s ability. After 15 years the US has been unable to defeat a few lightly armed Taliban, and after 13 years the situation in Iraq remains out of control. This is not very reassuring for the prospect of taking on Russia, much less the strategic alliance between Russia and China. The US could not even defeat China, a Third World country at the time, in Korea 60 years ago.
Americans need to pay attention to the fact that “their” government is a collection of crazed stupid fools likely to bring vaporization to the United States and all of Europe.
Russian weapons systems are far superior to American ones. American weapons are produced by private companies for the purpose of making vast profits. The capability of the weapons is not the main concern. There are endless cost overruns that raise the price of US weapons into outer space. The F-35 fighter, which is less capable than the F-15 it is supposed to replace, costs between $148 million and $337 million per fighter, depending on whether it is an Air Force, Marine Corps, or Navy model.

A helmet for a F-35 pilot costs $400,000, more than a high end Ferrari.

It is entirely possible that the world is being led to destruction by nothing more than the greed of the US military-security complex. Delighted that the reckless and stupid Obama regime has resurrected the Cold War, thus providing a more convincing “enemy” than the hoax terrorist one, the “Russian threat” has been restored to its 20th century role of providing a justification for bleeding the American taxpayer, social services, and the US economy dry in behalf of profits for armament manufacturers.
However, this time Washington’s rhetoric accompanying the revived Cold War is far more reckless and dangerous, as are Washington’s actions, than during the real Cold War. Previous US presidents worked to defuse tensions. The Obama regime has inflated tensions with lies and reckless provocations, which makes it far more likely that the new Cold War will turn hot. If Killary gains the White House, the world is unlikely to survive her first term.
All of America’s wars except the first—the war for independence — were wars for Empire. Keep that fact in mind as you hear the Memorial Day bloviations about the brave men and women who served our country in its times of peril. The United States has never been in peril, but Washington has delivered peril to numerous other countries in its pursuit of hegemony over others.
Today for the first time in its history the US faces peril as a result of Washington’s attempts to assert hegemony over Russia and China.
Russia and China are not impressed by Washington’s arrogance, hubris, and stupidity. Moreover, these two countries are not the native American Plains Indians, who were starved into submission by the Union Army’s slaughter of the buffalo.
They are not the tired Spain of 1898 from whom Washington stole Cuba and the Philippines and called the theft a “liberation.”
They are not small Japan whose limited resources were spread over the vastness of the Pacific and Asia.
They are not Germany already defeated by the Red Army before Washington came to the war.
They are not Granada, Panama, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, or the various Latin American countries that General Smedley Butler said the US Marines made safe for “the United Fruit Company” and “some lousy bank investment.”
An insouciant American population preoccupied with selfies and delusions of military prowess, while its crazed government picks a fight with Russia and China, has no future.

Our Prospects against the Russians and Chinese in World War III

  1. I bet that there are a lot out there waiting to join up, and help it along, like the GRENADIAN BOY who said after REGANS SPEECH, ABOUT AN ALIEN INVASION,WOULD WE FORGET OUR DIFFERENCES WORLDWIDE and fight the common enemy, what he said was yes I would forget the difference of the aliens and join them.

  2. Russia/Putin are prudent. They have prepared for war since the Soviet Union came apart. The high points are: George Bush Sr gave them clues of the dangers when he made his global speech claiming they would make a new world order “And they would Win”. Then Bill Clinton started the Slaughter in the destruction of Yugoslavia where he backed Islam against Christians. The continous growth of NATO only coincides with the Bush Sr speech. Bush jr slaughter of Americans in the explosive demolition of the WTC buildings. Then to show us Americans we can do nothing about our criminal government, the globalists install Sunny muslim Obama, who is not a citizen, to help with the Sunny muslim ISIS war against everybody except Israel. Of course in keeping with the fast pace tward war, the globalists have Obama otherthrow the legal government of Ukraine. Robers seems to be from the old school where humans mean a lot. He does not fathom the evil of the globalists (a large percent are atheist zionists), who have stated goals to reduce population. Of course they want to end up with control of who is left. So they are after all natural resources. That is important; not humans In particular the while Christians of the world need another slaughtering as in WWI and WWII. The bright side is that Russia developed high precision, smaller yeild weapons to do surgical strikes. Regan and Gorbachov Helped reduce the volume of the large nukes. Especially when the USSR collapsed. Russia and the US worked dilitantly to get rid of thousands of large nukes-like in the Ukraine. Russia and the US both supplied observers to see the destruction of nukes. I even spoke with two of the American observers and evaluated a project done by Lawrence Livermore National Lab in the destruction of the central core assemblies. Russia and China are ready and there is no avoiding WWIII. The US/NATO will attack Russia in less than two years. Their primary work is in the computer connections of all of the NATO countries and planned subterfuge using those new assets. (ref SAIC corp and LIDOS corp) Dr. Ronald Cutburth, engineering scientist, intelligence expert.

  3. The USA prospects in a war with either Russia or China and especially both are I would say fatal. Our military high command are appointed by our presidents. Our presidents have been corrupt. Our high command are forced to help fund the criminal military complex. The quality has gone down as the price has gone up thousands of percents. We have a corrupt news media which lies to the public about also our military capability They continue to tout our powerful navy and point to the heavy air craft carriers. They are only heavy and slow and are now as floating coffins. Our news screams the conflicting story that we have the most advanced electronic warfare systems. Meanwhile they scream that Russia and China are stealing all of our secrets. Our cruise missiles are slower than Russia’s and china on the heavy anti ship missiles. Given that brief nobodies thought matter because the US/NATO will make WWIII anyway. They believe that we can win through extortion, brutality and bribery. That is the way of the evil ones, the globalists, the new world order cabal.

  4. PCR: “After 15 years the US has been unable to defeat a few lightly armed Taliban, and after 13 years the situation in Iraq remains out of control.”
    Is it not a case of the US deep state not having any desire to defeat the Taliban or terrorists in Iraq?
    To my mind not a question and most informed nations and people globally, know why.
    Should the US openly gun for Russia, it will be a real and terrible war, not wars which the US sponsors all sides, to allow the MIC’s global bosses to continue raking in mega armament and Afghan poppy field profits.
