Vladimir Putin Fights the War Party on All Fronts
By Pepe Escobar, teleSUR
29 December 15
The Obama administration still sticks to the Cold War 2.0 script on Russia.
Lets talk about Russian aggression.
The fight to the death in Moscows inner circles is really between the
Eurasianists and the so-called Atlantic integrationists, a.k.a. the Western
fifth column. The crux of the battle is arguably the Russian Central Bank
and the Finance Ministry where some key liberalcon monetarist players are
remote-controlled by the usual suspects, the Masters of the Universe.
The same mechanism applies, geopolitically, to any side, in any latitude,
which has linked its own fiat money to Western central banks. The Masters of
the Universe always seek to exercise hegemony by manipulating usury and fiat
money control.
So why President Putin does not fire the head of the Russian Central Bank,
Elvira Nabiulina, and a great deal of his financial team - as they keep
buying U.S. bonds and propping up the U.S. dollar instead of the ruble?
Whats really being aggressed here if not Russian interests?
That Stab in the Back
Its clear by now which party profited from the downing of the Russian Su-24
by the Turkish Air Force a graphic act of war. The immediate result was
the suspension which could lead to the cancelling of a crucial
Pipelineistan plank: Turkish Stream, which is a bête noire for the Masters
of the Universe as Turkey was about to become the key alternative bypassing
failed state Ukraine for supplying natural gas to southern Europe.
On top if it the EU paid Ankara 3 billion euros for its indirect services
(the official excuse is to allow Turkey to control Syrian immigration to the
EU.) And EU sanctions to Russia were extended for another six months.
A fitting Russian response would be Moscow defaulting on all debt to Western
banks in retaliation for the sanctions. An extreme step would be blocking
natural gas shipments to the EU. If Russia even floated one of these moves,
not to mention both, sanctions would be lifted in a flash. So whos really
being aggressed here?
Putin and Russian intel didn't see it coming: Sultan Erdogans stab in
the back. So a case can be made that Russian intel seriously underestimated
Erdogans massive investment on regime change in Syria.
Whatever happens on the ground much more than in the Vienna-Geneva charade
now passing for a peace process the future of Syria bears two stark
options; a neo-Ottoman colony, but essentially subordinated to the whims of
the Masters of the Universe; or a unitary sovereign nation, not partitioned,
with a strong relationship to both Russia and Iran.
The question, though, remains; how does Turkey get away with such a
provocation, with Russia imposing just a few sanctions?
That Fuzzy Agenda
The missing link in the puzzle is Israel. Contradictions became glaringly
obvious with the flattening of a building in Jaramana, in Damascus, by
Israeli missiles, killing nine civilians as well as Hezbollah-linked Samir
Kuntar.
This could not have happened, in any way, without Russian acquiescence
considering Russian missile defense now protects Syrian territory. So the
message is clear; Russia wont interfere with Israels priorities in
Syria/Lebanon and vice-versa.
Vice-versa couldnt be trickier. Tel Aviv tacitly supports the Nusra
Front, a.k.a. al-Qaida in Syria, which even the Obama administration finally
has been forced to admit is a terrorist outfit.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry as well as independent Turkish
investigations - most of the stolen Syrian/Iraqi oil Islamic State group
scam ends up with the oil being bought by Israel. Tel Aviv happens to be the
top buyer of the stolen-from-Baghdad Iraqi Kurdistan oil with which stolen
Daesh oil is mixed.
And to top it off, Tel Aviv is a mortal enemy of both Iran and Hezbollah
which are essential nodes of the 4+1 coalition (Russia, Syria, Iran, Iraq,
plus Hezbollah) fighting the Islamic State group. Not to mention that Tel
Aviv which favors a partitioned Syria - wants to gobble up the energy-rich
Golan Heights for perpetuity.
So how does Israel get away with it?
That War Party Offer
The bottom line of these three scenarios the Russian economy, Turkey and
Israel is that a lethal, devastating response is an easily available
option for Putin on all three. Yet he refuses to be trapped by a war logic.
Putin is the ultimate adversary of Russian aggression.
A full confrontation with Turkey will unite a disunited NATO. Now Russian
intel has connected the dots on how the Masters of the Universe are trying
to use Ankara as bait to trap Moscow, as they extensively used a now
discarded, irrelevant Kiev. Turkeys top three import nations happen to be
Russia (10.4 percent), China (10.3 percent) and Germany (9.2 percent); deep
trouble in Turkey would be a major headache for the trio, much to the
delight of the Empire of Chaos.
A confrontation with Israel will obviously bring about the full force of the
Masters of the Universe. Not to mention that the last thing Moscow needs is
to open a new front in the Levant. Here is a meticulous attempt by The Saker
to clarify the dangerous liaisons between Israel and Russia.
The key front though is the Russian economy; sooner or later theres got to
be a purge of the Russian Central Bank and the Finance Ministry, but Putin
will only act when he has surefire internal support, and thats far from
given.
The lame duck Obama administration whatever rhetorical and/or legalistic
contortions still sticks to the Cold War 2.0 script on Russia, duly
prescribed by Obama mentor Dr. Zbigniew Grand Chessboard Brzezinski.
That follows a tradition Bill Blum, for instance, has extensively
documented, as since the end of WWII Washington attempted to overthrow more
than 50 governments the absolute majority full democracies; dropped bombs
on the civilian population of over 30 nations; attempted to assassinate over
50 foreign leaders; attempted to suppress nationalist movements in 20
nations; interfered on countless democratic elections; taught torture
through manuals and advisers; and the list goes on.
Putin and the best and the brightest of Russian intel very well know it.
And yet they do maintain a decent margin of maneuver; establishing Russia as
an indispensable power all across Southwest Asia (after smashing the fake
Caliphate from Raqqa to Mosul); preventing any Masters of the Universe
encroachment on the Black Sea; and putting up a real fight in the near
future in the Balkans.
The real advances will keep coming as spin-offs of the Russia-China
diplomatic/strategic partnership from energy to trade to the military
sphere. And that projects us once again towards the New Silk Roads and the
convergence of the China-driven One Belt, One Road with the Eurasian
Economic Union (EEU).
The bottom line is that in 2016 the option will continue to be stark; its
either the hegemony of the War Party with the subtext of a Washington
willfully condoned Salafi-jihadi offer to young, disaffected Muslims; or
the vision of a full, prosperous trade/commerce/communication network for
the whole of Eurasia. Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets.
