    Oh boy.

    No peace, huh? Out of Iraq because we have others things to do? Full Spectrum Dominance of Eurasia?

    The only element that seems totally vague to me is what could possibly provoke the use of high yield nuclear weapons. I don't see how that would ever be practical for either side. If Russia felt cornered, I'm not guessing they would simply decide to wipe themselves off the face of the map.

    And radioactivity isn't good for property value or the cost of extracting resources from a region.

    Any reason I should be thinking about moving to North Dakota?

    North Dakota is one of the world's great nuclear powers (and it's very cold in the winter), so it's probably not a good idea to move there.

    Yes, I've been taking Mike Ruppert's dire predictions with a grain of salt for years now. Then again, I think most of us who are saying or thinking "Oh, it's not that bad, nothing drastic is going to happen," need a little kick in the pants.

    We're living through a globally disintegrating economy and environment; the geopolitical events will be severe and probably unprecedented.

    Russia threatens to 'strike' Poland in wake of U.S. missile plan
    http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2008/08/15/missle.ht...

    A Russian general says the recently negotiated deal to allow the United States to place a missile interceptor base in Poland "cannot go unpunished."

    Gen. Anatoly Nogovitsyn, deputy chief of the Russian general staff, made the comment to reporters on Friday.

    Nogovitsyn was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying Poland was risking attack by agreeing to the deal.

    "Poland, by deploying [the system] is exposing itself to a strike —100 per cent," he said.

    This is a tale of US expansion not Russian aggression
    http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/aug/1...

    The outcome of six grim days of bloodshed in the Caucasus has triggered an outpouring of the most nauseating hypocrisy from western politicians and their captive media. As talking heads thundered against Russian imperialism and brutal disproportionality, US vice-president Dick Cheney, faithfully echoed by Gordon Brown and David Miliband, declared that "Russian aggression must not go unanswered". George Bush denounced Russia for having "invaded a sovereign neighbouring state" and threatening "a democratic government". Such an action, he insisted, "is unacceptable in the 21st century".

    Could these by any chance be the leaders of the same governments that in 2003 invaded and occupied - along with Georgia, as luck would have it - the sovereign state of Iraq on a false pretext at the cost of hundreds of thousands of lives? Or even the two governments that blocked a ceasefire in the summer of 2006 as Israel pulverised Lebanon's infrastructure and killed more than a thousand civilians in retaliation for the capture or killing of five soldiers?

    You'd be hard put to recall after all the fury over Russian aggression that it was actually Georgia that began the war last Thursday with an all-out attack on South Ossetia to "restore constitutional order" - in other words, rule over an area it has never controlled since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Nor, amid the outrage at Russian bombardments, have there been much more than the briefest references to the atrocities committed by Georgian forces against citizens it claims as its own in South Ossetia's capital Tskhinvali. Several hundred civilians were killed there by Georgian troops last week, along with Russian soldiers operating under a 1990s peace agreement: "I saw a Georgian soldier throw a grenade into a basement full of women and children," one Tskhinvali resident, Saramat Tskhovredov, told reporters on Tuesday.

    U.S. Corporate Media spins Russian Response to Georgian attack as "Aggression" http://arabesque911.blogspot.com/2008/08/us-corpor...

    What must be remarked upon is the incredible hypocrisy of U.S. officials and their acquiescing corporate media. An article by Patrick J. Buchanan asks: Is Not Western Hypocrisy Astonishing?

    American charges of Russian aggression ring hollow. Georgia started this fight – Russia finished it. People who start wars don't get to decide how and when they end.
