“Global Sea War”: Trump’s New Strategy for Regime Change

Venezuela, Iran, Cuba, Russia, China, India (Editors note: These are some of the same countries that attack America in the Dimutru Duduman prophecy)

They will escalate their war against Russia at sea, deploying their navies to enforce trade blockades, ship sabotage and seizures, and the closure of sea lanes, and to launch “pre-emptive” attacks before their targets can defend themselves. This is sea war to achieve regime change on land.

Trump’s current targets are Iran, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, North Korea, China, and India.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio told a Senate Committee hearing on Wednesday that if these targets attempt to deter the US escalation by raising their guard, the US Navy will shoot first.

“It’s wise and prudent,” Rubio said, “to have a force posture within the region that could respond and potentially, not necessarily what’s going to happen, but if necessary, preemptively prevent the attack against thousands of American servicemen and other facilities in the region. And our allies. I hope it doesn’t come to that, but that’s I think what you’re seeing now is the ability to posture assets in the region to defend against what could be an Iranian threat against our personnel.”

The Putin Administration is less than clear on what it will do to defend its flag vessels and the oil cargoes it is dispatching to its allies.

On the Anglo-American operation to seize the Russian-flagged tanker Marinera, off the west coast of Scotland on January 7, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced it was an act of piracy, not an act of war against the Russian flag nor an act of war as trade blockades are treated in the United Nations Charter.

According to a legal source close to Moscow, the US warrants for the seizure of the Marinera and arrest of the master and crew claim the vessel was operating in violation of US sanctions against Iran, not US sanctions against Russia.

There has been no explanation for the failure of the Marinera’s Russian naval escort, a submarine and a corvette, to defend against the “pirates”. The Foreign Ministry spokesman, Maria Zakharova, called for release of the two Russian crew on the vessel, and then thanked the US for their release. When this did not materialize as advertised, the ministry complained of the delay. On January 28, the two Russians were released and were “on their way home”, according to Zakharova.

The captain and first officer of the vessel appear to have been Georgian; they remain under arrest in the UK on an extradition application by the US for prosecution in a US court. The two Russians and the Indian majority of the 26-man crew are being released and repatriated “in line with standard UK immigration and legal procedures.” No favour has been shown by either the US or the UK to the Russian Foreign Ministry.

On January 22, the French military attacked and seized the tanker Grinch in international waters of the Mediterranean, off the Spanish coast, and took the vessel and crew to Marseille. The  Comoros-flagged vessel was carrying a cargo of Russian crude oil to a destination in either Turkey or India; the captain is Indian. There has been no public Russian or Indian response in defence of the Grinch’s cargo, the vessel, or the crew.

On the tightening of the US blockade against Cuba, including threats against blockade-busting  supplies of oil, Russian and Mexican, to the island, Zakharova announced yesterday:

“Representatives of the US administration have threatened Cuba many times, including by mentioning their readiness to blow up everyone there and trying to force Havana to make a deal…The United States has used every trick to tighten the blockade, including by adding Cuba to the infamous US list of state sponsors of terrorism…we express the hope that allegations contained in these media reports are groundless, and that common sense eventually prevails in Washington…We reaffirm our unwavering solidarity with the people and authorities of fraternal Cuba.”

Russian sources believe the Kremlin’s will and the Russian Navy’s readiness to defend against these attacks are wavering. According to Oleg Tsarev, the Crimea-based leader of the Ukrainian opposition, this is “the art of great maritime patience.”

“The EU”, Tsarev wrote on January 27, “intends to close the Baltic Sea for the shadow fleet of Russia…Almost half of the offshore oil export from Russia goes through the Baltic Sea. Now the conditions are being created in which every exit of a Russian tanker from the Baltic can end with its arrest or forced entry to [EU] port for inspection… When the EU moves from words to deeds, the flow of Russian oil through the Baltic will lead to disastrous consequences for the budget and put the state on the brink of survival. Russia may continue to exercise the art of great maritime patience but in case of detention of Russian tankers in the Baltic Sea, you need to have a plan with specific countermeasures.”

On the escalating US threat against Russian use of the Arctic sea lanes – the Northern Route, as it is known in Russian – President Vladimir Putin announced on January 21:

“what is happening around Greenland does not concern us in any way.”   

No public elaboration has followed in Moscow.

On the new declaration of the Baltic and North Sea states, issued on Monday, to  stop and seize Russian oil cargoes and the tankers carrying them, whether Russian flagged or not, has so far drawn no public Russian Government reaction. The declaration explicitly blames the Russian alternative fleet running the gauntlet of US and EU sanctions for creating “new emerging safety situations…particularly in the Baltic Sea region. These disturbances, originating from the Russian Federation, degrade the safety of international shipping. All vessels are at risk.”

Vessels will be stopped and seized, the document proposes, if they “sail under the flags of two or more states”; if they turn off vessel identification and tracking signals; if they “conduct ship-to-ship transfers without sufficient and timely notification to the coastal state in whose exclusive economic zone the transfer is to take place”; and other coastal state route conditions.

“These are new challenges,” a well-placed Moscow source responds. “If you act like a pirate, you will be treated as a pirate.”

The Russian oil exporters and transporters, the source said, “can’t continue indulging in this. Russians cannot outrun the blockade unless they stop being pirates. If they act as pirates, it’s not an act of war to stop them.” The source adds: “we must begin by flying the Russian flag, crewing the vessels with Russians, and deploying armed units on each vessel. That was the method for dealing with Somali pirates. We have to take the high road – legitimize vessel registration and the cargoes. Only then can the Russians legimitately use the armed forces to defend, and also deter attacks.”

NATO Sourced Weapons: Russian military destroys at least four ‘Patriots’ and HIMARS in two-three days

military missiles on display at aero india

By Drago Bosnic at Global Research. Reposted with permission.

NATO-sourced weapon systems have long been touted as “game changers” that would “stop the evil Russians” and “save Ukrainian democracy”. This is particularly true for the MIM-104 “Patriot” and M142 HIMARS. The first is a surface-to-air missile (SAM) system, while the second is a multiple launch rocket system (MLRS), although it would perhaps be more appropriate to describe it as a rocket artillery–ballistic missile hybrid launcher, given its ability to fire the ATACMS missile. Neither of these was particularly notorious “wunderwaffen”, as their performance during the endless US/NATO aggression against the world has been quite unimpressive. On the contrary, even the mainstream propaganda machine severely criticized the “Patriot” due to its atrocious track record against even basic ballistic missiles, such as the many “Scud” clones used by Iraq.

However, this came after the initial hype by the mainstream propaganda machine, which presented it as far more successful than it really was. Only years later did they admit that the SAM system was anything but effective. Its service in recent years demonstrated that it was just as bad as 35 years ago, with Houthi forces striking Saudi oil facilities with impunity as “Patriots” failed to intercept their drones and missiles, even slamming into residential areas in the process, making them more dangerous for Saudi civilians than the aforementioned Houthi weapons. And yet, after Russia’s special military operation (SMO) started, the “Patriot” suddenly turned into a “hypersonic killer”, supposedly “shooting down” even Russian “Kinzhals” left and right. Military experts, analysts, enthusiasts and other keen-eyed observers from all over the world were puzzled by this “sudden success”.

And indeed, how is it possible that a SAM/ABM (anti-ballistic missile) system that repeatedly failed against basic Iraqi and Houthi ballistic missiles could now “shoot down” far more advanced Russian missiles, particularly supermaneuvering warheads flying at speeds exceeding Mach 10 (over 12,000 km/h or 3,5 km/s)? Well, the short answer is – it couldn’t. In fact, even some American military experts stress that there’s no evidence that a single Iraqi “Scud” was ever intercepted by a “Patriot”, while the “proof” that Russian 9-A-7660 “Kinzhals” (which use the 9-S-7760 hypersonic missiles) were supposedly “shot down” has been debunked and laughed at by anyone with any knowledge of basic physics. On the other hand, there’s plenty of evidence that dozens of “Patriot” systems have been destroyed precisely by Russian hypersonic missiles that they supposedly “intercept regularly”.

This includes a 9K720M “Iskander-M” system that was recently filmed striking a “Patriot” battery deployed in the vicinity of Shevchenko, a settlement in the Dnepropetrovsk oblast (region). The footage, published on January 19, shows its 9M723 hypersonic missile obliterating the “Patriot’s” AN/MPQ-65 fire control radar, M90x launch station and a generator. This comes only two days after various military sources published another video of a Russian BM-35 kamikaze drone destroying another “Patriot” in the Kharkov oblast. Some analysts speculate that this one was a decoy, most likely due to the lack of a more violent explosion. However, this doesn’t provide conclusive evidence, as the “Patriot” could’ve also fired all of its interceptors in a futile, last-ditch effort to protect itself. Either way, these strikes are now added to the long list of successful neutralization of Western weapons.

Even more interestingly, the aforementioned BM-35 drone uses the SpaceX’s Starlink, which the US still doesn’t know how to prevent. In doing so, Russia is effectively turning an American system against US-made weapons in NATO-occupied Ukraine, further adding to the humiliation for the Pentagon, which is entirely powerless to stop it. Various military sources report that the “Patriot’s” interception rates are below 4% (primarily against lower-end cruise missiles and drones). However, advanced hypersonic weapons are effectively impossible to shoot down, as evidenced by numerous videos of “Patriots” firing their interceptors, which all fail almost immediately after launch. Considering their price tag (often exceeding $4 billion per battery and upwards of $10 million for a single interceptor missile), the latest losses are measured in tens of billions of US taxpayers’ dollars.

Worse yet, Washington DC’s ability to provide the Kiev regime with additional batteries and missiles has only gone down after the Pentagon expended much of its reserves. The Neo-Nazi junta forces can no longer sustain a constant threat to the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS), which is exacerbating their already dire position on the frontlines. And yet, that’s not the end of the Kiev regime’s troubles, as its strike platforms are suffering just as badly (if not worse). Namely, the previously mentioned HIMARS, another overhyped NATO-sourced system, suffered significant losses at around the same time the “Patriots” were obliterated. Namely, on January 16, multiple military sources published footage of its destruction by an unidentified weapon. It was first reported as one of the “Geranium” variants, but more recent analyses suggest it could have been the new S-71.

Even more interestingly, this drone-missile hybrid that comes in K and M variants is one of the latest Russian precision-guided munitions, primarily used by the Su-57. It should be noted that this next-generation fighter jet is often ridiculed and dismissed by the mainstream propaganda machine. However, the legendary Sukhoi design bureau is entirely unbothered by these smear campaigns and is focused on improving the Su-57’s already impressive performance and combat record. This was also recognized by numerous export clients, particularly sovereign nations that don’t want the political West to control their defense, which is why India is so close to finalizing an agreement on joint production of the Su-57E with Russia. In the meantime, the Russian military continues to obliterate NATO-sourced weapons, including yet another HIMARS just several days after the previous.

Namely, the latest footage, published today (January 20), shows an FPV (first-person view) drone detecting the US-made MLRS firing its salvo and then leaving the area. However, the FPV drone pursued the HIMARS, eventually catching up and destroying it on the move. The UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) was operated by the “Rubicon”, an elite Russian military unit focused on advanced unmanned and electronic warfare (EW), known for its rapid innovation, systematic tactics and combat effectiveness. It’s also famed for record-breaking operator training and developing new counters to the Neo-Nazi junta’s tactics (including fiber-optic drones). The unit has multiple specialized detachments and effectively serves as the core of the Unmanned Systems Forces (VBS), a recently formed separate branch of the Russian Armed Forces, fully dedicated to drone warfare.

Trump Derangement Syndrome or Trump Delusion Syndrome?

U.K Defense Secretary John Healy Would like to Kidnap Putin. “I Would Take Putin into Custody”

This shows how there are no legal or moral limits to the West’s actions against Russia.

By Lucas Leiroz de Almeida at Global Research. Reposted with permission.

Apparently, the illegal US action against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is “inspiring” the war plans of British authorities – not against Latin American countries or developing states, but against the Russian Federation. Recently, UK Defense Secretary John Healey stated that he would like to kidnap Russian President Vladimir Putin if given the opportunity. This shows how irrational and dangerous the plans of Western elites against Moscow are.

In an interview with a Ukrainian newspaper, the British official said he would like to “take” Putin, if possible. According to him, Putin is a politician who needs to “be stopped”. Healey made it clear that he only refrains from implementing a real plan to kidnap Putin because it does not seem feasible – considering Russia’s military power and the possibility of a nuclear conflict as a consequence of such an action.

“I would take (Russian President Vladimir) Putin into custody and hold him account for war crimes (…) This is a man who must be stopped. This is a war that must be stopped. And our mission is to support Ukraine in its fight today and to help work to secure the peace for the moment,” he said.

Healey attempted to justify his words with “humanitarian” rhetoric. He mentioned, among the alleged “crimes” of the Russian president, the recent incidents of drone attacks against the Ukrainian capital. According to him, the recent wave of attacks “tells you all you need to know about President Putin and his determination not just to wage a war on Ukraine, but to target civilians, cities, the infrastructure that people absolutely critically depend on in the middle of winter.”

To date, the Ukrainian side has failed to prove any deliberate Russian attacks against civilian targets in Kiev. What has been happening is a wave of drone and missile attacks against military, strategic, and energy facilities throughout the country – including the capital. Obviously, every military attack, even a legitimate one, can have some impact on civilian infrastructure as a side effect.

This is especially critical in Ukraine, as Kiev is known to maintain strategic facilities around some residential areas – attempting to use its own people as human shields. The Russian attacks are highly precise, as this conflict is recognized by experts for its low number of civilian casualties. However, local propaganda strives to say otherwise.

Furthermore, the British official mentioned the already widely refuted cases of Bucha and the alleged “kidnapping of children” by Russian authorities. According to Healey, Putin should be arrested for the “massacre of civilians” in Bucha and the “abduction of Ukrainian children” in Irpen. All these cases have already been proven false, with witnesses from the Ukrainian side itself reporting that bodies from different regions of the country were transported to Bucha to simulate a massacre, as well as several children said to be “missing” who were later found in Europe – having likely arrived there through illegal international “adoption” schemes with the consent of the Kiev authorities themselves.

It’s important to remember that Healey made this statement a few days after the American attack on Venezuela. Ukrainian journalists asked him who he would choose as a target “given the option of being able to kidnap any world leader.” Similarly, the illegitimate Ukrainian president Vladimir Zelensky also publicly called for a joint Western-Ukrainian operation to capture the president of Russia’s Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. Apparently, Ukrainians and Westerners already consider it possible to publicly contemplate the possibility of kidnapping high-ranking politicians and heads of state.

This is a result of the dangerous precedent set by the American action. However, something like that would never be possible against a country like Russia. Any attempt to violate Russian territory to kidnap local leaders would be met with massive attacks. The consequence of this type of Western crime would be the beginning of an international conflict, possibly nuclear. Not by chance, Healey comments on the subject only as an unattainable hypothesis – a kind of “dream” for the British officer.

However, considering that the Ukrainian side has already attempted to assassinate the Russian president on at least two occasions during the current conflict – the most recent being when 91 long-range drones were launched against one of Putin’s residences in the Novgorod region – it is possible to say that even the “plans” and “dreams” of the enemy are a serious threat to Russia. The western Ukrainian side shows that it is willing to use terror against Russia and that it is not constrained by international law – only by force.

In this sense, it is legitimate for Russia to further intensify its operations against Ukraine – especially Western assets on Ukrainian soil – in the near future, as a response to these irresponsible and threatening statements. Only by neutralizing the enemy’s ability to reach Russian territory will there be security for Moscow.

Three Takeaways From The US’ Seizure Of A Russian-Flagged Tanker In The Atlantic

Guest Post by Andrew Korybko

The overarching trend is that the US is militarily reasserting its historical “sphere of influence” over the Americas, and enforcing the maritime component of “Fortress America” is so important for Trump 2.0 that it’s willing to rubbish the “rules-based order” over it and even risk an accidental war with Russia.

The Russian-flagged Marinera tanker was just seized by the US in the Atlantic. It was earlier named the Bella 1 and is under US sanctions due to connections to Hezbollah. It sailed under the Guyanese flag from Iran to Venezuela and attempted to break the US’ blockade. It failed, turned around, changed its name to the Marinera, and received a temporary permit to sail under the Russian flag before being seized. Russian then demanded that its citizens on board be treated humanely and returned home.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth posted that “The blockade of sanctioned and illicit Venezuelan oil remains in FULL EFFECT — anywhere in the world.” This preceded Attorney General Pam Bondi threatening that criminal charges might be pursued against the crew. Her tweet and Hegseth’s other one about how the US will only permit “legitimate and lawful” energy commerce with Venezuela shows that it’s once again assuming so-called “police” functions. Here are three takeaways from this incident:

———-

1. The US Is Surprisingly Nonchalant About An Accidental War With Russia

It was brazen even by the US’ standards to seize a Russian-flagged tanker, especially after Western media reported that Russia had dispatched ships and a submarine to escort it, which Russia didn’t confirm and none were nearby during the seizure. Nevertheless, Trump 2.0 calculated that there’d be no retaliation despite the deputy chairman of Russia’s parliamentary defense committee warning that “any attack on our carriers can be regarded as an attack on our territory, even if the ship is under a foreign flag.”

This incident interestingly occurred in parallel with the US backing European ceasefire guarantees for Ukraine that include British and French commitments to deploy troops there during that time even though Russia has repeatedly warned that they’d be legitimate targets. Quite clearly, the US is now surprisingly nonchalant about an accidental war with Russia, whether over seizing one of its flagged ships at sea or over NATO allies getting killed in Ukraine. This observation won’t be lost on Russia.

2. “Fortress America” Also Includes An Important Maritime Component

The goal of restoring the US’ unipolar hegemony over the Americas, which is described as the highest regional priority in its new National Security Strategy, can be referred to as building “Fortress America”. This isn’t being pursued just for reasons of prestige but also pragmatism in the sense of enabling the US to survive and even thrive if it’s ever expelled from the Eastern Hemisphere or decides to retreat from there since control over the hemisphere’s resources and markets would all but ensure this outcome.

As can be seen by this incident as well as Hegseth’s and Bondi’s posts about it, there’s also an important maritime component related to controlling the export of oil from Venezuela, which has the world’s largest reserves. This can only be achieved by maintaining the unilateral blockade and seizing all ships that violate it, both on law enforcement pretexts that embody the concept of extraterritoriality. Without this maritime component, “Fortress America” could never truly be built, but it’s not without some costs.

3. The US Is Dismantling The “Rules-Based Order” That It Built Over The Decades

The abovementioned point segues into the last one about how the US’ militarily enforced extraterritoriality vis-à-vis Venezuela dismantles the “rules-based order” that it built over the decades for maintaining its unipolar hegemony over the world after the end of the Old Cold War. This violates the international laws that the US used to selectively police across the world according to its arbitrary standards. Instead of international ones, the US is now policing its own, but also in pursuit of hegemony.

International law has increasingly become illusory due to the UN’s innate dysfunction, which is related to the deadlock among the UNSC’s five permanent members, with one usually vetoing significant proposals from the others. Even so, if the Great Powers abided by it in their ties with one another, then there’d be more predictability and less risk of war by miscalculation. The US is no longer interested in even that as proven by this incident, however, since building “Fortress America” now takes precedence over all else.

———-

The trend connecting the three aforementioned takeaways is that the US is militantly reasserting its historical “sphere of influence” over the Americas, and this is so important for Trump 2.0 that it’s willing to rubbish the “rules-based order” over it and even risk an accidental war with Russia. The maritime component off of Venezuela’s Caribbean coast that’s been built before all else is justified by the administration as a law enforcement operation that prioritizes domestic laws over international ones.

Since this is taking place on the other side of the world where neither half of the Sino-Russo Entente has any military bases, they can’t challenge this even through indirect means, unlike how the US challenged Russia’s reassertion of its own historical “sphere of influence” in Ukraine through the ongoing proxy war. This doesn’t mean that the US’ grand strategic goal of restoring its unipolar hegemony over the Americas will succeed, just that if it doesn’t, then it’ll be due to intra-hemispheric reasons and not external forces.

Poland & Hungary Are Threatened By Ukraine Yet Still Remain Divided By It

Guest Post by Andrew Korybko. Reposted with permission.

The Ukrainian ultra-nationalists and intel agents that infiltrated their societies under the cover of refugees might carry out acts of terrorism against them, which could be averted by closer cooperation between their security services, but they still remain divided by Ukraine to its geopolitical benefit.

Poland and the other EU countries like Hungary that host Ukrainian refugees are poised to face more trouble from them after the conflict ends. As of February 2025, official police data showed that Ukrainians committed more crimes in Poland than any other foreigners. Some have also been accused of carrying out national security ones on behalf of Russia, which Russia denied while its media has instead suggested that they’re either anti-Polish ultra-nationalists (fascists) or Ukrainian intel agents.

Whatever the truth may be, former President Andrzej Duda warned in an interview with the Financial Times in early 2025 that “Ukraine’s Traumatized Troops Could Pose A Security Threat To All Of Europe”. Last fall, “The Ukrainian Ambassador To Poland Admitted That His Co-Ethnics Don’t Want To Assimilate” just before one of his country’s prominent online outlets predicted that “An Ethnic Ukrainian Lobby Might Soon Take Shape In The Polish Sejm”, which could altogether pose serious threats to Poland.

Instead of trying to thwart them, Foreign Minister Radek Sikorski encouraged Ukrainians to “knock out” the Druzhba pipeline supplying Hungary and Slovakia with Russian oil, thus earning him the nickname “Osama Bin Sikorski” from Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova. As explained in the preceding hyperlinked analysis, this could backfire on Poland by inciting terrorism against it by those ultra-nationalists who lay claim to its southeastern parts where many Orthodox East Slavs used to live.

Circling back to his post, some of the Ukrainian ultra-nationalists and/or intel agents that infiltrated the EU under the cover of refugees could attack Druzhba infrastructure in Hungary, knowing that they could then receive sanctuary in Poland just like the Nord Stream suspect that it refused to extradite to Germany. Although Poland and Hungary have a millennium of shared history and almost 700 years of friendship, Poland’s ruling duopoly nowadays despises Hungary for its pragmatic policy towards Russia.

Taking a cue from Sikorski, they might therefore turn a blind eye towards these “refugees” planning such an attack from their territory and/or plotting Color Revolution unrest in Hungary ahead of spring’s next parliamentary elections. About that scenario, Sikorski’s Hungarian counterpart Peter Szijjarto warned in mid-August that the EU could lead this effort, which came a day after Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service warned about the role that Ukrainians could play in advancing regime change there.

The EU, Ukraine, and Poland all want Viktor Orban out, the goal of which could be furthered by “refugees” (ultra-nationalists and/or intel agents) sabotaging the Druzhba pipeline within Hungary ahead of the next elections and then the economic consequences sparking large-scale preplanned protests. To be clear, none of this might materialize, but the point is that such a scenario is nonetheless credible for the reasons that were explained. Hungarian counter-intelligence would naturally do well to remain alert.

Closer coordination between the Polish and Hungarian security services for thwarting these threats from Ukrainian “refugees” is unlikely due to liberal-globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s and new conservative President Karol Nawrocki’s shared hatred of his pragmatic policy towards Russia. A rapprochement between them through the Visegrad Group is therefore unrealistic, thus leaving their countries vulnerable to these hybrid threats and keeping them divided to Ukraine’s geopolitical benefit.

“If threats to the Kaliningrad region are created, Russia will destroy them.” President Putin

BREAKING: Putin says that if NATO countries start a blockade of the Kaliningrad region, Russia will start a full-scale war in Europe “If threats to the Kaliningrad region are created, Russia will destroy them. Everyone must understand and be fully aware that such actions will lead to an unprecedented escalation of the conflict, taking it to an entirely different level, up to a full-scale armed conflict,” Putin said.

There you have it, Putin couldn’t make it any more clear. If NATO tries to blockade Russia’s enclave of Kaliningrad there will be all out war against Europe. At the end of the day I believe that’s what will end up happening sooner or later anyway, it’s just about how that comes to pass. God willing I will cover this in a video later today.

NATO’s Threat to Wage “Preemptive Strikes” Against Russia. Towards “Barbarossa 2.0”? How Will The Kremlin React?

pexels-photo-27794291.jpeg

Guest Post by Drago Bosnic at Global Research.

Feature image:  Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, chair of NATO’s Military Committee

Around the Napoleonic era, Prussian (German) general and military theorist Carl von Clausewitz wrote a book called “On War”. One of his most compelling arguments was the postulate that “war is a mere continuation of policy by other means”. In essence, war is not some sudden, isolated event that just happens randomly, but rather an instrument of political goals that are pursued when diplomatic solutions are no longer viable or wanted by either side.

Clausewitz’s argument emphasizes that war is fundamentally a deliberate political act with a carefully calculated purpose, rather than a purely emotional or violent undertaking. The latter two are merely used for mass manipulation that serves to convince the populace that the war is “just”.

Although written over two centuries ago, such a timeless argument perfectly encapsulates how warfare functions (and has functioned since the dawn of mankind).

This is particularly true for the political West and its centuries-old aggression against the entire world. Since the dawn of the classical colonial era to the modern (or perhaps even postmodern) neocolonial system, the world’s most vile power pole has killed, maimed and enslaved billions of people at virtually every corner of this unfortunate planet. Entire native populations (particularly in the Americas and Australia) have either been wiped out entirely or brought to the point of extinction, robbing the world of their unique societies and civilizations.

It was from this brutal colonialism that countries like the British Empire and the United States emerged, bringing more misery, death and destruction to other “undiscovered” regions of the world, particularly in Africa and Asia, where genocidal Western policies continued with the same ferocity. Clausewitz’s point that warfare is a very deliberate act has been proven time and again, with one caveat being that the political West has become increasingly sophisticated at causing wars and making them seem like they’re unrelated to Western aggression against the world. Whenever any given opponent is too strong for a head-on engagement, the political West resorts to “low blows” and strategic sabotage in an attempt to gain the upper hand.

This has been particularly true for Russia and China, the two global superpowers that Western colonialists were always terrified of fighting directly.

That’s precisely the reason unrest, revolutions and local wars were used against both, starting at least in the early 19th century and continuing to this day (Opium Wars, Crimean War, revolutions in Russia and China financed by Western capital, neocolonial wars and attempts to dismember both countries, etc). Although both Moscow and Beijing refused to give up and kept fighting, the damage done to their societies is virtually impossible to quantify. China lost well over a century from the early 19th to the late 20th century and is yet to fully regain its rightful place in the global arena.

Russia also lost more than a century after its victory in WWI was stolen, pushing it into at least half a decade of civil war, followed by WWII not even 20 years later. The guns were still hot in Europe and the Pacific when the US and the crumbling British Empire conceived “Operation Unthinkable” and dozens of similar plans that involved dropping at least 300 nuclear bombs on Moscow alone. Russia uncovered the plot and pre-empted it by developing its own atomic weapons, forever stifling Western wet dreams about “imposing the will of Anglo-Americans” on the Kremlin through the use of nuclear hellfire. However, these monstrous plans were never really dropped, but merely postponed and left for “better times”.

The political West seems to think those times have come and that the Eurasian giant is greatly weakened due to the unfortunate dismantling of the Soviet Union. NATO’s crawling “Barbarossa 2.0” is strategically almost identical to the original launched by its geopolitical (and literal) Nazi predecessor, albeit conducted through far more sinister and truly Machiavellian policies. However, the endgame is precisely how Clausewitz described it – the continuation of the same policies by different means. Still, while the political West’s cold-blooded calculus is meticulously executed, it’s also fundamentally dominated by one of the most dangerous delusions in human history – that Russia can be defeated.

Namely, Italian Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, chair of NATO’s Military Committee, just told Financial Times that NATO is considering “more proactive measures in response to Russia’s escalating hybrid warfare”. He cited an alleged “rise in Russian-backed cyberattacks, sabotage operations and airspace violations over Europe – which NATO could mirror and more, as any potential ‘pre-emptive strike’ on Russian targets would be justified”. In order to justify this “pre-emptive strike”, Admiral Dragone insisted that such an attack could “under certain circumstances and context be classified as a defensive action”. He also added a laughable claim that this would be “further away from our normal way of thinking and behavior”.

The very idea that unadulterated, bloodthirsty belligerence is somehow “out of the ordinary” for the most murderous racketeering cartel in human history makes any normal human being lose their breath and convulse due to excessive laughter. Namely, for anyone who hasn’t been living under a rock for the past three to four decades, how many NATO wars can you count off the top of your head alone? Without even considering previous wars and starting only with the post-Cold War era and the direct aggression on Iraq (twice), Serbia/Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, Ukraine, now Venezuela, etc, there have been dozens of official invasions and unofficial NATO-orchestrated “civil” wars that resulted in millions of civilian deaths.

Obviously, not a single NATO official or military officer was ever held accountable for the sea of blood left in their wake. All they ever talk about are “mistakes”, but no “international criminal court” has ever found these admissions peculiar enough to warrant the attention of “international law and justice”. Quite the contrary, the political West (ab)used the so-called “rules-based world order” to the maximum in order to justify NATO’s destruction of the said countries and even presented all of it as some sort of a “noble humanitarian mission”. The world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel is now dead set on pushing the narrative that yet another “just cause” is there, only this time once again against Russia (for God knows which time in the last 800 years).

Moscow’s “evil oppression of poor little NATO” is the ultimate bait for Western audiences in what Washington DC, London and Brussels apparently see as their “last chance to defeat Russia.”

Obviously, they never listened to the advice of their late Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery, whose rule 1, on page 1 of the book of war, was“Do not march on Moscow.” It’s extremely difficult to imagine that people like Admiral Dragone never heard of this advice (effectively a command). However, it seems their arrogance makes them think they know better than one of the people who fought an actual war and defeated Nazi armies in North Africa and Western Europe.

He knew full well that those forces were still only a fraction of German power, which was heavily focused on Russia.
