Former Assistant Treasury Secretary (in the Reagan Administration) Dr. Paul Craig Roberts has a stark warning for the world. Dr. Roberts says, “We changed our nuclear doctrine. It used to be we used nuclear weapons only in retaliation. There was no first use, but the George W. Bush regime, the Neocons, changed our nuclear doctrine. It’s now a preemptive first strike. So, this tells both the Russians and Chinese they could get a preemptive first strike. Then, we tell the Russians we are putting missiles right on your border. You won’t have two minutes’ notice. They can’t accept that. It’s too much risk from a crazy country (U.S.) that won’t negotiate with them. . . . So, we’re headed for war. I think the only thing that would block it is if one or two of the European governments realize that they have nothing whatsoever to gain with a conflict with Russia. . . . The only thing they could do to prevent a nuclear war is to pull out of NATO.”
Dr. Roberts also contends, “The tensions now between the United States and Russia are higher than they ever were during the cold war. For this reason, it is very dangerous. It is dangerous for another reason. In all of my life, every President worked to reduce tensions with Russia. Kennedy worked with Khrushchev to defuse the Cuban missile crisis, and part of the deal was Kennedy pulled American missiles out of Turkey. We know Richard Nixon worked . . . very hard to get a strategic arms limitation treaty. . . . Now, we have NATO right on Russia’s border. This is a massive violation of commitments that the United States made. We now have extremely high amounts of tensions, and I think with this recent attack by the United States on Syrian troops, it has made it perfectly clear to the Russian government that diplomacy is useless, and they cannot reach a diplomatic understanding with the United States. Therefore, we have reached the point where force confronts force.”
Why are American so in the dark about the dire global risks of nuclear war? Dr. Roberts, who is an award winning journalist and former editor and columnist at the Wall Street Journal, says, “There are no longer any independent networks. ABC, NBC and CBS are all cogs in huge conglomerates. The media companies are not run by journalists. They are run by former government officials and corporate advertising executives who have no interest whatsoever in telling the truth. . . . So, essentially, there is no longer any media. It’s a ministry of propaganda.”
On the economy, with around 94 million people out of the workforce and the near record low Labor Force Participation rate, Dr. Roberts says, “The Labor Force Participation rate never falls during a recovery. It rises because people are entering the labor force to take advantage of the strong economy and jobs. So, there isn’t any economy. There is a house of cards that is held together by central bank money creation. The money flows into financial assets. That’s what keeps the stock market up, and it flows into bonds, which is why we have essentially 0% interest rates. . . . So, the economy is essentially a hoax.”

After the Interview:
Dr. Roberts also pointed out that only 32% of the public trusts the mainstream media (MSM) according to a new Gallup poll. Roberts contends it will only fall further from here.

Of course the economy’s a hoax….a fact in evidence since at least as far back as the FED was privatized in 1933.
But they’ve grown bored with owning every ‘thing’. They obviously want to own you and your souls as well….

Good Journeys
I’ve had this feeling as well – the patience of Russia, although considerable, is not infinite!
For a very long time Russia has compromised its own interests in order to placate the USA and extend more and more and more diplomatic courtesies…
But there have been several distinct signs, observed and pointed out by Dr. Roberts (bless him), that Washington is treacherous and, basically, just liars. Not to be trusted!
Can’t believe anything they say, not one word…
THIS IS OBAMA’S TRUE LEGACY! He’s the man in the chair – it’s all on his watch.
Dr. Roberts has described the present circumstance concisely and precisely (as usual)…
Never in my long life, would I have ever dreamed that in 2016 America would be the bad guys and Russia the good guys! It’s blowin’ my mind…
But I sense not only that, but that the big nasty boil is about to pop.
They keep PUSHING Russia… pushing, pushing. Treating them rudely, condescending, belittling, arrogantly.
Eventually Russia must think of themselves and cannot back down any further…
Yes, Europe must know, must realize (they’re not stupid) and I believe hopefully they’ve ‘had it’ with lying, treacherous, immoral, unethical, illegal, manipulative, despicable Washington too!
We have reached the point where three kids on the school playground beat the crap out of the 3rd grade bully.

Idiots are gonna get us all nuked and we have absolutely no control or recourse!!!!!!!!!!!!! No telling how many Russian subs are cruising around our coasts, ready for their orders to nuke the hell out of us!!!
Uhhh, the reason why they turned it into a “first strike” instead of retaliation is because they realized with today’s modern weapons and technology STOLEN from the West there can be NO retaliation. Duhhhhh……..
