Today, after a Crimean election where 95% of the voters chose to secede from Ukraine and rejoin Russia, the U.S. government along with Europe placed what I call “sanctions lite” against a few Russian individuals. This in my opinion was the only plan that the struggling Obama administration could come up with to attempt to save face. That will not work.
If major U.S. economic sanctions were to be implemented against Russia, which would be a grave mistake, Putin’s stated response would become more likely, and that would be a very dangerous situation. If the EU went along with brutal sanctions, they would be immediately harmed, and its supply of life sustaining energy could be greatly curtailed if Putin’s threats were to be implemented.
If in fact Putin and Russia began to upset the monetary system by demanding all payments in Russian money or gold, or by dumping U.S. treasuries, and if China joined Russia in that effort, economic hell could break loose around the world, especially in the west. That could lead to a world war in which the major players are all heavily armed with nuclear weapons. That is madness, and I think the reason that the impotent U.S. sanctions applied today were so subdued.
The U.S. has threatened to levy much harsher sanctions, but that would be a terrible mistake, and one that could have deadly unintended consequences. Russia is not some third world defenseless dictatorship, it is a large and viable country, and one with strong allies. It is a major producer with customers all over Europe and beyond, and does have the capability to harm the U.S. economy, one that is already sitting on the edge of collapse.
Those like the warmongering idiot John Mccain are already calling for war, and any war with Russia could lead to global disaster. These neocons, along with their warmongering leftist partners on the other side of the aisle, are risking all out aggression and world war over a U.S. staged coup in Ukraine meant to antagonize Russia and Putin, and hopefully gain a geopolitical edge. That plan has already backfired, and the only sane possible conclusion should be a full retreat by the U.S. government immediately.
Anything other than calming these waters and attempting more negotiation could be horrendous. Any scenario other than that would immediately destabilize the situation, and put the world at risk.
Please contact me at [email protected] with any and all comments. I will read each and every one, and post those that are particularly significant.

World War III: Ukrainian Leader Threatens To Blow Up Russia’s Gas Pipelines
Sanctions are an act of war and next we will see gas lines blown up in the ukraine so the USA can come to the aid of europe and sell us over prices gas.
The $$$ is pegged in a way to how much the USA can pump up prices and the neo nazi’s in the Ukraine only need a nod and a wink to destroy the pipe lines.
We need to get the americans out of Europe and build bridges with Russia who have done nothing wrong during this western back conflict
High ranking masons in the government and elsewhere want exactly this…a third world war. that’s part of their overall plan.
That’s the reason these countries are being so openly and directly provoked. People like McCain and Graham and Durbin aren’t doing it because of their political ideology, they are doing it because that is the last stage prior to the coming of their god in the flesh. The all and powerful anti Christ.
Albert Pike, a high ranking Mason from the late 1880s along with other masons of his time planned for 3 world wars in order to usher in the time of their god…Lucifer in the flesh.
