"If the “world ends” ahead, I’m betting on a bang, not a whimper."

Most wars begin incrementally, rather than with a big bang. One thing leads to another then to full-blown conflict. WW I began before Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand’s assassination — WW II before Pearl Harbor.

Months of advance planning precedes wars. US-led post-9/11 wars on Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Libya, and Syria were planned long before the mother of all state-sponsored false flags to that time.

Years of US orchestrated and directed proxy war on Russia by Ukraine on Donbass preceded Moscow’s special military operation (SMO). Two months later, has WW III begun? Has hegemon USA-dominated NATO begun pushing things toward East/West confrontation? Is it inevitable ahead?

In cahoots with dominant US hardliners, Britain’s so-called armed forces minister, Heappey, said the BoJo regime considers cross-border strikes by Kiev on Russian territory with UK-supplied weapons a strategy it supports.

In response, Russia’s Defense Ministry slammed Britain’s support and encouragement of Ukraine’s aggression against Russia, adding:

💬 If occurs, it’ll “lead to an immediate and proportional response by” Moscow. “Russian Armed Forces are on round-the-clock standby to launch long-range precision-guided retaliatory strikes against relevant decision-making centers in Kiev.”

The presence of Western military or other personnel at targeted locations won’t deter Russia’s action. The Biden regime, Britain, France, Germany and other US NATO vassal states approved plans to send more heavy and other weapons to Ukraine. Ones spotted by Russian forces are targeted and destroyed, including at border crossing points.

US, UK and other Western regimes have military personnel in Ukraine to train and direct its forces, including Nazified ones. US-dominated NATO’s strategy is to perpetuate forever war on Russia by Ukrainian foot soldiers — using them as expendable cannon fodder. It’s why demilitarizing and de-nazifying the country is a crucial Russian objective. Vladimir Putin and other Russian officials stressed that the SMO will continue until these and other objectives are accomplished.

Controlled by his US master, puppet Zelensky has no say over what’s going on, no knowledge beyond what he’s told, directed to say and ordered to do. A leader in name only, he’s letting US-dominated NATO wreck Ukraine politically, economically and militarily.

In breach of international law, will the Biden regime give around $300 billion of stolen Russian assets to Ukraine? Vowing not to return stolen funds to Russia, will they be used to more greatly aid the Nazified regime continue endless war as long as Kiev has forces and weapons to wage it?

On Tuesday, A Russian court froze Google assets. The ruling followed a lawsuit by Russia’s Entertainment Television in response to Google-owned You Tube’s blocking of one of its channels. What’s going on is US/Western war against Russia militarily and by other means, including ways to control the fabricated message by suppressing truth and full disclosure.

On Wednesday, Russia’s Security Council Secretary, Nikolay Patrushev, explained what only the deaf, dumb, blind and brainwashed are mindless about, saying:

💬 “(U)nlike Russia, which is interested in a speedy completion of the special military operation and minimizing losses from all sides, the (US-dominated) West is determined to drag it on until the last Ukrainian,”

adding:

💬 “The American and European military-industrial complex rejoices, because thanks to the crisis in Ukraine, it has no end to orders in sight.” “(D)o not let Anglo-Saxon respectability fool you.” ‘No brand-new suit can hide hatred, anger…inhumanity” [and rage to undermine Russia].

I expressed concern a number of times about dominant US hardliners launching WW III by accident or design. Add two more possibilities to the equation — desperation because of overwhelming Russian SMO superiority over badly battered and beaten Ukrainian forces and/or a death wish.

In his poem, titled “The Hollow Men,” TS Eliot said

💬 “(t)his is the way the world ends…not with a bang but a whimper.”

He never met dominant lunatics infesting the US, UK and other Western regimes today. If the “world ends” ahead, I’m betting on a bang, not a whimper.
