The Kuwait trap for Erdogan

.

.

Of course the USA is not going to attack Turkey, or for that matter any NATO member.....but will let the Russians smash the lone Turkish army. When it is smashed Erdogan abe will fall from power, along with his mafia linked family.

1. USA    2. China    3. Russia   4. India                                    5.Turkey

Strength of their conventional military machines.

The Turkish military is good, and Turks are natural fighters who hale from Central Asia. But in this push button age of warefare natural fighting ability matters less, than the size of ones economy...steel production....domestic production of good quality military equipment. Turkey does not need to test all this against Russia, over Syria......and most Turks understand this.

I never thought that Syria was that important for Erdogan to the extent he would risk his political career, and the exposure of mafia activities of his children.

The more Erdogan Deonme abe shows his crazy passion and love for the ISIS head choppers, liver eaters, rapists, murderers, plunderers, thieves AND TERRORISTS in Iraq and Syria, the more politically vulnerable and exposed he becomes through this association.

It is true that he must follow his American masters orders, but realistically if you have been in power for 14 years, then you earn the right to tell the USA.....'SORRY uncle Sam, though my family makes a lot of money through the ISIS misadventure, this is also politically dangerous for me and MY COUNTRY'

Turning Turkey into a Hitlerian fascist dictatorship will not help matters.

Russia will soon in addition destabilize the country, given Turkeys hostile posture. Arm the Kurds who will fight Turkey; set the Alevis against the Sunnis in the country; arm and activate the Communists and left-wing groups against the state......and all the other Turks who hate Erdogan.

There may also be military personnel who fled Turkey and now live in Moscow, after Erdogan purged the military a few years back. They will now be used by Moscow to see when and where the military can conduct a coup against Erdogan abe.

These are lower risk options than direct confrontation with a NATO power, for Russia.

Russia is unhappy with Turkey for:

(i) Promoting pan-Turanism in Central Asia.

(ii) Through the Uighurs of China and Central Asia spreading radical Islam and annexed terrorism in Central Asia and China, with direction and encouragement from the USA.

(iii) Spreading and supporting terrorism in Russia through the Chechens and other Muslim groups in the Caucasus, with the backing and direction of the USA.

(iv) Giving support to the Nazi Jewish regime in the Ukraine.

(v) Syria....in a big way. with USA direction and backing.

(iv) Iraq .....in a big way. With USA direction and backing.

Erdogan abe must ready his private plane for the USA, fill it with ISIS petrol.......and empty the plane of the Afghan heroin to make room for himself and his court jesters. If the USA shuts the door on him, Shah like, he can settle in the USA colony of Panama. There he can grow cocaine and export it to the USA with his CIA brothers.....................and write a memoir.

Regime Change in Ankara? More Likely Than You Think

 By Mike Whitney By "Information Clearing House" - "Counterpunch" 

- On Friday, the United States rejected a draft resolution by Russia that was intended to prevent a Turkish invasion of Syria. Moscow had called for an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) to address its growing concern that Turkey is planning to send thousands of ground troops and armored vehicles it has massed on its southern border, into Syria to protect Turkish-backed militants and to block the Kurdish militia, the YPG, from establishing a contiguous state in northern Syria. 

Moscow’s one-page resolution was a thoroughly-straightforward document aimed at preventing a massive escalation in a conflict that has already claimed the lives of 250,000 and left the country in ruins. 

According to Russia’s deputy U.N. envoy, Vladimir Safronkov, “The main elements of this Russian draft resolution are to demand that all parties refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of Syria, that they fully respect Syria’s sovereignty and independence, stop incursions, and abandon plans for ground operations.” The resolution also expressed Moscow’s “grave alarm at the reports of military buildup and preparatory activities aimed at launching foreign ground intervention into the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic.” 

There was nothing controversial about the resolution, no tricks and no hidden meaning. 

The delegates were simply asked to support Syrian sovereignty and oppose foreign armed aggression. These are the very principles upon which the United Nations was founded. The US and its allies rejected these principles because they failed to jibe with Washington’s geopolitical ambitions in Syria. 

Quashing the resolution confirms in the clearest terms that Washington doesn’t want peace in Syria. Also, it suggests that the Obama administration thinks that Turkish ground troops could play an important role in shaping the outcome of a conflict that the US is still determined to win. Keep in mind, if the resolution had passed, the threat of a Turkish invasion would have vanished immediately. Why? Because the Turkish “military has publicly stated that it is not willing to send troops across the border without U.N. Security Council approval.” (Washington Post) 

Many people in the west are under the illusion that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has dictatorial powers and can simply order his troops into battle whenever he chooses. But that is not the case. While Erdogan has removed many of his rivals within the military, the top brass still maintains a certain autonomy from the civilian leadership. 

Turkish generals want assurances that they will not be prosecuted for war crimes in the future. The best way to do that is to make sure that any invasion has the blessing of either the US, NATO or the UN. 

The Obama administration understands this dynamic, which is why they quashed the resolution. Obama wanted to leave the door open so Turkish troops could eventually engage the Russian-led coalition in Washington’s ongoing proxy war.

This leads me to believe that the Washington’s primary objective in Syria is no longer the removal of Syrian President Bashar al Assad but the bogging down of Russia (and Iran) in a never-ending conflict. 

Just hours after the US defeated Moscow’s draft resolution at the UN, closed-door talks were convened in Geneva where high-level U.S. and Russian military officials met to discuss the prospects for ceasefire. The cease-fire, which is typically referred to as a “cessation of hostilities”, is aimed at temporarily stopping the fighting so the battered jihadists and US-backed rebels can regroup and rejoin the war at some later date. 

Both Moscow and Washington want to deliver humanitarian aid to war-torn cities across Syria, and to move towards a “political transition” although both sides are deeply divided over Assad’s role in any future government. 

According to the Washington Post: “One of the many problems to be overcome is a differing definition of what constitutes a terrorist group. In addition to the Islamic State and Jabhat al-Nusra, al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Syria, Russia and Syria have labeled the entire opposition as terrorists. Jabhat al-Nusra, whose forces are intermingled with moderate rebel groups in the northwest near the Turkish border, is particularly problematic. Russia was said to have rejected a U.S. proposal to leave Jabhat al-Nusra off-limits to bombing as part of a cease-fire, at least temporarily, until the groups can be sorted out.” (“U.S., Russia hold Syria cease-fire talks as deadline passes without action“, Washington Post) Repeat: “Russia was said to have rejected a U.S. proposal to leave Jabhat al-Nusra (al Qaida) off-limits to bombing as part of a cease-fire, at least temporarily, until the groups can be sorted out.” In other words, the Obama administration wanted to protect an affiliate of the group that is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Syrian civilians whose only fault was that they happen to occupy country that these Wahhabi mercenaries wanted to transform into an Islamic Caliphate. 

Naturally, Moscow refused to go along with this charade. Even so, Secretary of State John F. Kerry announced on Sunday that he and his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, “had reached a ‘provisional agreement in principle’ for a temporary truce in the Syrian civil war and that it could start within days” although no one really knows how the “cease-fire would be enforced and how breaches would be resolved.” 

Consider how hypocritical it is for Obama to reject Russia’s draft resolution at the UN and, just hours later, try to put Al Qaida under the protective umbrella of a US-Russia brokered ceasefire. What does that say about America’s so called “war on terror”? 

Meanwhile in Turkey, Erdogan’s threats to invade Syria have intensified following a car bombing in Ankara last week that killed 28 and wounded 61 others. The Turkish government blamed a young activist, Salih Neccar, who had links to the Turkish militia (YPG) in Syria of being the perpetrator. But less than 24 hours after the blast, the government’s version of events began to fall apart. In a story that has been scarcely reported in the western media, the Kurdistan Freedom Hawks (TAK) claimed full responsibility for the bombing according to a statement on its website. (The Freedom Hawks are linked to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party or PKK.) Then, on Monday, the Erdogan regime was slammed with more damning news: DNA samples demonstrated conclusively that Neccar was not perpetrator, but rather Abdulbaki Sömer, a member of the group that had claimed responsibility from the beginning. (TAK) As of this writing, the government still hasn’t admitted that it lied to the public to build their case for war. 

Erdogan and his extremist colleagues continue to use thoroughly discredited information to threaten to invade Syria. As he said on Saturday at a UNESCO meeting in Gaziantep: “Turkey has every right to conduct operations in Syria and the places where terror organizations are nested with regards to the struggle against the threats that Turkey faces…No one can restrict Turkey’s right to self-defense in the face of terror acts that have targeted Turkey.” 

This explains why Turkey has been shelling Syrian territory for the last week. It also explains why Erdogan has given Sunni jihadists a free pass to traverse Turkey and reenter the war zone in areas that improve their chances of success against the Syrian Army. Check this out from the New York Times: “Syrian rebels have brought at least 2,000 reinforcements through Turkey in the past week to bolster the fight against Kurdish-led militias north of Aleppo, rebel sources said on Thursday. Turkish forces facilitated the transfer from one front to another over several nights, covertly escorting rebels as they exited Syria’s Idlib governorate, traveled four hours across Turkey, and re-entered Syria to support the embattled rebel stronghold of Azaz, the sources said. “We have been allowed to move everything from light weapons to heavy equipment, mortars and missiles and our tanks,” Abu Issa, a commander in the Levant Front, the rebel group that runs the border crossing of Bab al-Salama, told Reuters, giving his alias and talking on condition of anonymity.” (“Syrian Rebels Say Reinforcements Get Free Passage via Turkey“, New York Times) 

The Obama administration knows that Erdogan is fueling the conflict, but has chosen to look the other way. And while Obama has (weakly) admonished Turkey for shelling Syrian territory, he has, at the same time, acknowledged Turkey’s “right to defend itself”, which is an expression the US reserves for Israel when it conducting one of its murderous rampages in the West Bank or Gaza Strip. Now, Obama has bestowed that same honor on Erdogan. This alone speaks volumes about the duplicity of Washington’s approach. 

So what is Washington’s gameplan in Syria? Is the administration serious about defeating ISIS and ending the hostilities or does Obama have something else up his sleeve? 

First of all, Washington is not the least bit concerned about ISIS. The group is merely a straw-man created by the USA that allows the US to conduct military operations in a region that is vital to its national interests. If the ISIS boogieman disappeared tomorrow, the White House would conjure up some other phantom–like the drug war or something equally ridiculous–so it could continue its depredations uninterrupted.

What matters to Washington is breaking up the strong, secular Arab governments that pose a long-term threat to US-Israeli ambitions. That’s what really matters. ISIS serves as a useful fifth column that destabilise and destroys Arab countries for Israel.

The other obvious goal is to control critical resources and pipeline corridors to the EU and make sure those resources continue to be denominated in US dollars. 

We continue to believe that the US-Kurdish (YPG) alliance does not really advance US strategic interests in Syria. The US is not interested in Kurdish statehood nor do they care if jihadist militias control the northern quadrant of Syria’s border-region. The real purpose of the US-YPG alliance is to enrage Turkey and provoke them into a cross-border conflict with the Russian-led coalition. If Turkey deploys ground troops to Syria, then Moscow could face the quagmire it has tried so hard to avoid.

Turkish forces would serve as a replacement army for the US-backed jihadists and other proxies that have prosecuted the war for the last five years but now appear to be in full retreat. 

More importantly, a Turkish invasion would exacerbate divisions inside Turkey seriously eroding Erdogan’s grip on power while creating vulnerabilities the US could exploit by working with its agents in the Turkish military and Intel agency (MIT). The ultimate objective would be to foment sufficient social unrest to incite a color-coded revolution that would dispose of the troublemaking Erdogan in a Washington-orchestrated coup, much like the one the CIA executed in Kiev. 

It is not hard to imagine Obama secretly giving Erdogan the greenlight, and then pulling the rug out from under him as soon as his troops crossed over into Syria. 

A similar scam was carried out in 1990 when U.S. Ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, gave Saddam Hussein the nod to invade Kuwait. The Iraqi Army had barely reached its destination before the US launched a massive military campaign (Operation Desert Storm) that forced Saddam to speedily withdraw along the infamous Highway of Death where upwards of 10,000 Iraqi regulars were annihilated like sitting ducks in a vicious and homicidal display of American firepower. That was the first phase of Washington’s plan to overthrow Saddam and replace him with a compliant Arab stooge.

Is the same regime change trap now being set for Erdogan? It sure looks like it.

Bread and butter infrastructure

.

.
.
Giving cash handouts to the poor, providing subsidies to the poor have to be expensively and extensively bureaucratized and monitored, with a lot of the money falling into the pockets of vested interests and mafia groups. This system creates corruption more than anything else.

The experience of Congress run India.

Massive private government investment in INFRASTRUCTURE on the other hand gives direct jobs and money to the poor and needy.................AND as a side issue develops the country, contributing to GDP growth.

This is how China developed since 1979, along with investment in INDUSTRY.

China will invest between $6-8 trillion into the economy this year alone. Both private and government. The government since 1979 has through legislation and direct example created the atmosphere where such huge amounts are re-invested into her economy ANNUALLY. 

THIS is the mechanism that the Indian government has to set up in India, as consumption, low oil prices , services and agriculture will not ALONE sustain significant growth for too many years into the future, and provide jobs to the tens of millions who will swamp the cities of India.....500 million IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

Thus $8 billion IN ONE YEAR is nothing compared to THE massive amounts of annual investments in China.....but I suppose its marketing and sloganism that counts in politics.

India poised for quantum leap in infrastructure: PM Modi

By PTI and Times of India

India is set for a quantum leap in infrastructure and concerted efforts are being made to bolster growth in highways, I-ways (information ways) and railways, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday.
Launching an ambitious Rs 50,800-crore Setu Bharatam project to ensure highways without railway crossings by 2019 and overhaul of 1,500 British-era bridges, the Prime Minister said his government is committed to speeding up all projects related to infrastructure.
"Our endeavour is for a quantum jump (in infrastructure), for a breakthrough, for fast-tracking projects. Infrastructure plays the same role for the nation as arteries play in a human body and thus, making it sound is quintessential," Modi said at the launch.
Lauding road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari for "pioneering work" in infrastructure, Modi said infrastructure plays a pivotal role in the country's growth and a comprehensive integrated approach has been initiated.
 

He added that the government's emphasis is not just on "highways, but on I-ways and railways".
Normally, governments are in the habit of doing incremental work only, but the approach of the current one is different, Modi asserted, adding that it is driven by long-term growth and is working to satisfy the long-felt aspirations of people.
 

Under the Setu Bharatam project, a total of 208 railway crossings will be replaced by rail over bridges (ROBs) by 2019 at an estimated cost of Rs 20,800 crore while 1,500 bridges of the British era will be overhauled at an estimated expenditure of Rs 30,000 crore across the country. 

The Prime Minister said that for the first time all bridges in the country are being mapped, in an oblique reference to the previous administration for not having any such database in place.

The Indian Bridge Management System has been introduced to map all 1,50,000 bridges in the country.

Modi, in his trademark style, added: "No body knows which bridge is where. Imagine how works were being done. I am not blaming any elected body for this or any Prime Minister or ministers. This is the flaw of the system. We didn't accord priority to these things..."

In a first, he said, gradation of bridges is being done through space technology with information like age, longitude, latitude, length, material and design.

 

Modi singled out the previous land acquisition system for highways, saying expansion of projects to two lanes and four lanes was not possible due to rampant encroachments, which were allowed with an eye on elections.

 

Russia's defence, and the Rothschilds banker wars preparations

.

The Rothchilds were Jewish money lenders from Frankfurt originally, eaking out a modest existence within the Jewish ghetto:

1. They discovered that greater profits could be made by lending to the heads of the German princely states which invariably were at war......one big loan to one big borrower, which would always be guaranteed to pay the money back with interest....rather than 1000's of loans to other ghetto Jews and gentiles, which were complicated and not always repaid.

2. Then they discovered that initiating war in EUROPE through their agents in government was profitable, because the huge armies would need huge amounts of funding and the European governments with minimal budgets (18th/19th century European national budgets would be anything from 5--12% of GDP.......at a time when the concept of having a 'war economy' and 'national mobilisation' was unheard of).....required sudden inflows of funds or their small professional armies would come to a halt.

3. Then they discovered that you could get far greater profits by funding both sides of the conflict over an extended period of time.........French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic wars 1789--1815. The American Civil War 1861--1865......WW1 1914-1918 and WWII 1939-45. The Cold War 1949-1989. Iran/Iraq war 1980--1988.

4. The Rothschilds family in London also make (PRESENT TENSE) a lot of money from narcotics, high finance and financial speculation, and oil.

5. The Rothschilds family also control global finance by manipulating PRIVATE Central banks of all nations save for North Korea and Iran.

6. The mullahs of Iran are manipulated in other ways by the Rothschilds.....Iranian Jews and Iranian fifth column working for the UK, developed since the 19th century.

There must be an awful lot of stupid Poles who think becoming a FRONTLINE HOSTILE STATE smack in the middle of Central Europe, next to Russia essentially, WITH very good flat TANK country should sabre rattle against Russia and host belligerent NATO military exercises.

What exactly does Poland gain from all this.......parts of Belorussia in the future? Gaining territory through war in the 21st century?

Sections of the Polish elite right like to tout their Christian/European heritage in an exaggerated way vis a vi the savage East. That is why they hosted CIA gulag, torture and sex BDSM secret sights in their country presumably. Most normal governments did not.

The Polish people with a good mixture of Slavs from Siberia and thus connected to Russia racially from circa 900 AD, and of course Indo-Europeans (Germans and Iranians) circa 2000 BC, should talk and think sensibly and not do things to please the Jewish banker Rothschilds of London.......the true merchants of death (Black and red colour)...number 5.

Red shield....Rothschild.
Black............Death/War/Satanism.

War       Destruction of nature            Narcotics through war and conflict (Vietnam, Afghanistan, and the war on drugs in South America)

 
Brzezinski the Slav parachuted into Washington by the Rothschilds, along with Kissinger, Soros and Rupert Murdock of fuck the news...foreign born European pivotal figures in American foreign policy in the post war 20th century and 21st century. Family home now in Ukraine, annexed by the Soviet Union under Stalin. Presumably he would like that bit of Ukraine re- attached to Poland courtesy of dead American/Russian soldiers.

Polish Government Rocked By Resignation of Generals As Tensions With Russia Build

Five generals resign ahead of major NATO exercise in Poland scheduled for July of this year

Originally appeared at Breitbart and Russia Insider

The surprise resignations of several key Polish generals have rocked the new conservative government, which is facing a barrage of criticism at home and abroad over a host of controversial reforms.
.
“Five generals have submitted their resignations over the last few days,” Szczepan Gluszczak, spokesman for the general command of the Polish armed forces, told commercial television channel Polsat on Friday.
.
The generals quit just as tensions run high with Poland’s Soviet-era master Russia.
The resignations came months ahead of a large NATO exercise in Poland, as well as the western defence alliance’s next summit, set for July in Warsaw.
.
It is the latest hurdle to trip up the governing Law and Justice (PiS) party that came to power in October after eight years in opposition.

The PiS has introduced controversial reforms giving the government more control over the constitutional court, state media and other institutions in a move that has alarmed the European Union and inspired street demonstrations.
.
Critics also say the new government has weakened the economy and two global ratings agencies have responded with warnings.
.
Gluszczak did not specify who had resigned, but local media reported that the generals in question included joint staff chief Ireneusz Bartniak and the commanders of land forces, the navy and the armoured and airborne forces.
.
“We have (the) Anaconda (exercise) coming up and the NATO summit in Warsaw, and here we have commanders, the captains of the ships, fleeing,” deputy defence minister Bartosz Kownacki said Friday, according to Polish news agency PAP.
.
He did not say why the generals had quit, but former defence minister Tomasz Siemoniak said “it’s just the beginning of the end. The atmosphere is very bad” in the army.
.
Local media are speculating that the resignations could be in response to recent announcements by new Defence Minister Antoni Macierewicz, who is on a crusade to stamp out all traces of the communist era.
.
Macierewicz wants to block promotions of servicemen who joined the army before the fall of the Iron Curtain in 1989, especially those who attended military schools in the Soviet Union.

 

Russia's fifth column and the USA instituted political framework in Russia

.
.
.
.
This is a long historical problem that has its origins from Peter the Greats time in the early 18th century, when some Western Russians unconditionally looked to Europe for leadership, inspiration and as their spiritual homeland, taking their misguided cue from Czar Peter.

It is a weakness.

It is an inferiority complex, where others/outsiders manipulate the locals to do their bidding.

It is a strategic security challenge for Russia. Consider the rumor that Stalin eliminated the entire Soviet military leadership on the eve of war in 1937 (everybody understood that there would be war between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union)...on the orders of the Rothschilds of London. The Soviet Union by the late 1930's had become the premier military power with 6.7 million mobilisable men, 24,000 tanks, 200,000 artillery and an 18,000 airforce. Nazi Germany had no chance against such an enormous power ......but the Bankers desired a long slogging match between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union (The essence of the action in WWII), as German rearmament left the country still way behind the Soviet Union with its head start.

There is nothing wrong in admiring something that is good, successful and rich...but we must not surrender to it slavishly, unconditionally in a misguided way like naive children at the sweet shop/department store and icecream parlour.

Then the country becomes a hostage and a slave.

Then the Jewish/German freemasons system and secret societies came into existence in the 19th century to add another layer of treachery and betrayal in Russia.

Then the Jewish Bolshevik system entered the Russian empire through the 5-7 million Jews in the empire, with the backing of European and American high finance and start up loans...which would have a globalist 'international' agenda and which of course had nothing to do with Russia's real needs.....but would manage to kill 60 million people in the country.

The Russian fifth column still exists, today, and finally the writer has written about it after promising to do so for some time.

Russia is an important country for the world. It is important Russia wins this internal struggle, just as it fights for justice around the world against the evil Western bankers.

The same for China.

Putin's Biggest Failure: Not Cleaning House

Fifth columnists still highly placed in the Russian government represent threats to the country's security, argues The Saker

The Vineyard of the Saker

(The Unz Review) and Russia Insider

Whatever happens in the future, Putin has already secured his place in history as one of the greatest Russian leaders ever. Not only did he succeed in literally resurrecting Russia as a country, but in a little over a decade he brought her back as a world power capable of successfully challenging the AngloZionist Empire. 

The Russian people have clearly recognized this feat and, according to numerous polls, they are giving him an amazing 90% support rate. And yet, there is one crucial problem which Putin has failed to tackle: the real reason behind the apparent inability of the Kremlin to meaningfully reform the Russian economy.

(Although Russia is a modern economy its society is still structured like a feudal society, with a few very rich people at the top to have manipulated the system with annual capital flight at $105 billion.....a very small middle class...15--20% [USA 45--50%]...and most of the rest as working class with low incomes)
 
As I have described it in the past many times, when Putin came to power in 1999-2000 he inherited a system completely designed and controlled by the USA. 

During the Eltsin years, Russian ministers had much less power than western ‘advisers’ who turned Russia into a US colony. In fact, during the 1990s, Russia was at least as controlled by the USA as Europe and the Ukraine are today. And the results were truly catastrophic: 

Russia was plundered from her natural wealth, billions of dollars were stolen and hidden in western offshore accounts, the Russian industry was destroyed, a unprecedented wave of violence, corruption and poverty drowned the entire country in misery and the Russian Federation almost broke up into many small statelets. It was, by any measure, an absolute nightmare, a horror comparable to a major war. Russia was about to explode and something had to be done.

Two remaining centers of power, the oligarchs and the ex-KGB, were forced to seek a solution to this crisis and they came up with the idea of sharing power: the former would be represented by Anatolii Medvedev and the latter by Vladimir Putin. Both sides believed that they would keep the other side in check and that this combination of big money and big muscle would yield a sufficient degree of stability.

I call the group behind Medvedev the “Atlantic Integrationists” and the people behind Putin the “Eurasian Sovereignists”. The former wants Russia to be accepted by the West as an equal partner and fully integrate Russia into the AngloZionist Empire, while the latter want to fully “sovereignize” Russia and then create a multi-polar international system with the help of China and the other BRICS countries.

What the Atlantic Integrationists did not expect is that Putin would slowly but surely begin to squeeze them out of power: first he cracked down on the most notorious oligarchs such as Berezovskii and Khodorkovskii, then he began cracking down on the local oligarchs, gubernatorial mafias, ethnic mobsters, corrupt industry officials, etc. Putin restored the “vertical [axis]of power” and crushed the Wahabi insurgents in Chechnia. Putin even carefully set up the circumstances needed to get rid of some of the worst ministers such as Serdiukov and Kudrin. But what Putin has so far failed to do is to

• Reform the Russian political system
• Replace the 5th columnists in and around the Kremlin
• Reform the Russian economy

The current Russian Constitution and system of government is a pure product of the US ‘advisors’ which, after the bloody crackdown against the opposition in 1993, allowed Boris Eltsin to run the country until 1999. It is paradoxical that the West now speaks of Putin’s despotic presidency when all he did is inherit a western-designed political system. The problem for Putin today is that it makes no sense to replace some of the worst people in power as long as the system remains unchanged. But the main obstacle to a reform of the political system is the resistance of the pro-Western 5thcolumnists in and around the Kremlin. They also are the ones who are still forcing a set of “Washington consensus” kind of policies upon Russia even though it is obvious that the consequences for Russia are extremely bad, even disastrous. There is no doubt that Putin understands that, but he has been unable, at least so far, to break out of this dynamic.

So who are these 5th columnists?
.
I have selected nine of the names most often mentioned by Russian analysts. These are (in no particular order):

Former First Deputy Prime Minister Anatolii Chubais, First Deputy Governor of the Russian Central Bank Ksenia Iudaeva, Deputy Prime Minister Arkadii Dvorkovich, First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, Governor of the Russian Central Bank Elvira Nabiullina, former Minister of Finance Alexei Kudrin, Minister of Economic Development, Alexei Uliukaev, Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov and Prime Minister Dmitri Medvedev.

The Russian 5th column: Chubais, Iudaeva, Dvorkovich, Shuvalov, Nabiullina, Kudrin, Uliukaev, Siluanov, Medvedev

This is, of course, only a partial list – the real list is longer and runs deeper in the Russian power structure. The people on this list range from dangerous ideologues like Kudrin or Chubais, to mediocre and unimaginative people, like Siluanov or Nabiullina. And none of them would, by him or herself, represent much of a threat to Putin. But as a group and in the current political system they are a formidable foe which has kept Putin in check. I do believe, however, that a purge is being prepared.

One of the possible signs of a purge to come is the fact that the Russian media, both the blogosphere and the big corporate media, is now very critical of the economic policies of the government of Prime Minister Medvedev. Most Russian economists agree that the real reason for the current economic crisis in Russia is not the falling price of oil or, even less so, the western sanctions, but the misguided decisions of the Russian Central Bank (such as floating the Ruble or keeping the interest rates high) and the lack of governmental action to support a real reform and development of the Russian economy. What is especially interesting is that vocal opponents of the current 5th column now get plenty of air time in the Russian media, including state ownedVGTRK. Leading opponents of the current economic policies, such as Sergei Glazev, Mikhail Deliagin or Mikhail Khazin are now interviewed at length and given all the time needed to absolutely blast the economic policies of the Medvedev government. And yet, Putin is still taking no visible action. In fact, in his latest yearly address he as even praised the work of the Russian Central Bank. So what is going on here?
.
First, and to those exposed to the western propaganda, this might be difficult to imagine, but Putin is constrained simply by the rule of law. He cannot just send some special forces and have all these folks arrested on some kind of charge of corruption, malfeasance or sabotage. Many in Russia very much regret that, but this is fact of life.
.
In theory, Putin could simply fire the entire (or part) of the government and appoint a different Governor to the Central Bank. But the problem with that is that it would trigger an extremely violent reaction from the West. Mikhail Deliagin recently declared that if Putin did this, the West’s reaction would be even more violent than after the Crimean reunification with Russia. Is he right? Maybe. But I personally believe that Putin is not only concerned about the reaction of the West, but also from the Russian elites, particularly those well off, who generally already intensely dislike Putin and who would see such a purge as an attack on their personal and vital interests. The combination of US subversion and local big money definitely has the ability to create some kind of crisis in Russia. This is, I think, by far the biggest threat Putin his facing. But here also we can observe a paradoxical dynamic:

One one hand, Russia and the West have been in an open confrontation ever since Russian prevented the USA from attacking Syria. The Ukrainian crisis only made things worse. Add to this the dropped prices on oil and the western sanctions and you could say that Putin now, more then ever, needs to avoid anything which could make the crisis even worse.

But on the other hand, this argument can be flipped around by saying that considering how bad the tensions already are and considering that the West has already done all it can to harm Russia, is this not the perfect time to finally clean house and get rid of the 5th column? Really – how much worse can things really get?
.
Only Putin knows the answer to this simply because only he has all the facts. All we can do is observe that the popular discontent with the “economic block” of the government and with the Central Bank is most definitely growing and growing fast, and that the Kremlin is doing nothing to inhibit or suppress such feelings. We can also notice that while most Russians are angry, disgusted and frustrated with the economic policies of the Medvedev government, Putin’s personal popularity is still sky high in spite of the fact that the Russian economy most definitely took a hit, even if it was much smaller than what the AngloZionist Empire had hoped for.
.
My narrow personal explanation for what is happening is this: Putin is deliberately letting things get worse because he knows that the popular anger will not be directed at him, but only at his enemies. Think of it, is that not exactly what the Russian security services did in the 1990s? Did they not allow the crisis in Russia to reach its paroxysm before pushing Putin into power and then ruthlessly cracking down on the oligarchs? Did Putin not wait until the Wahabis in Chechnia actually attacked Dagestan before unleashing the Russian military? Did the Russians not let Saakashvili attack South Ossetia before basically destroying his entire military? Did Putin now wait until a full-scale Ukronazi attack on the Donbass before opening up the “voentorg” (military supplies) and the “northern wind” (dispatch of volunteers) spigots? Putin’s critiques would say that no, not at all, Putin got surprised, he was sleeping on the job, and he had to react, but his reaction was too little too late and that when he had to take action it was only to fix a situation which had turned into a disaster. My answer to these critiques is simple: so what happened at the end? Did Putin not get exactly what he wanted each time?
.
I believe that Putin is acutely aware that his real power base is not primarily the Russian military or the security services, but the Russian people. This, in turn, means that for him to take any action, especially any dangerous action, he must secure an almost unconditional level of support from the Russian people. That, in turn, means that he can only take such risky action if and when the crisis is evident for all to see and that the Russian people are willing to have him take a risk and, if needed, pay the consequences. This is exactly what we saw in the case of the reunification of Crimea or the current Russian military intervention in Syria: the Russian people are concerned, they are suffering the consequences of the decision of Putin to take action, but they accept it because they believe that there is no other option.
.
So there you have it. Either Putin is sleeping on the job, is caught off-guard by each crisis and reacts too late, or Putin deliberately lets a situation worsen until a full-scale crisis is evident at which point he acts with the full knowledge that the Russian people fully support him and nor blame him neither for the crisis, nor for the price of decidedly dealing with you.
.
Pick the version which seems more plausible to you.
.
What is certain is that so far Putin has failed to deal with the 5th column near and inside the Kremlin and that the situation is rapidly worsening. The recent move by Kudrin to try to get back into the government was a rather transparent use of the pro-5th column media in Russia (and abroad) and it predictably failed. But this shows an increasing self-confidence, or even arrogance, of the Atlantic Integrationists. Something in bound to happen, probably in the near future

USA backing ISIS.......whilst pretending and announcing that it will fight ISIS in Syria, Iraq Libya, and Afghanistan and else where.

.
.
.
.
The USA support of the barbaric evil ISIS terrorists has four pillars:

(i) Destabilization of the Middle East over decades to create Eretz Israel from the ashes of the surrounding Arab states. The USA, with plummy speaking officials has annexed itself to the policy of a far far right extremist racist Apartheid policy agenda from Israel, about which most Israelis aren't even aware of, or are able to discus openly because they are ignorant of it........AND like most extremists dreams it is something that will not be realized, but not before the world has suffered terribly for many more years.


(ii) Generate business and work for the military/industrial complex in the USA

(iii) Re-orientate the ISIS terrorists against other countries such as Russia (5,000--7,000 Russian ISIS terrorists in Syria/Turkey/Iraq....gaining work experience) and China (5,000 Chinese ISIS terrorists in Syria/Turkey ....gaining work experience for the eventual destination), eventually.

(iv) Scare the American people into accepting a police state, and the world into accepting American SECURITY GUIDANCE and guarantee. The USA is good, and is to be trusted in matters of security....and if you like you can buy some arms and expertise from them. The Americans can't do it themselves, and so they have allies such as the UK, Israel, France, Qatar, Turkey and of course Saudi Arabia. 'al-Qaeda' is now worthless as a propaganda tool so a new scare is created and that is ISIS.

The existence of ISIS created by the USA, means vital global matters cannot be progressed.....matters which have not been manufactured by the CIA..but require urgent attention. EXAMPLE:

Climate Change
Over population
Diminishing resources
Space travel
Corruption
Governance
Education
Trans national crime
Sustainable Development
Globalization
International Trade

The world has become beholden to faggot, drug peddling, pedophile spooks who set the primary agenda for the world. This is not good for human civilization.

The Soviet Union collapsed just when the KGB took over its running, de facto after Brezhnev. 

The article below, whilst well written is misleading......the CIA is not groping around in the dark searching for allies....

Saudis Bankroll CIA Backing of Syrian terrorists

US Saw Scheme as Way to Channel Saudi Aid to Potential Allies

by Jason Ditz at antiwar.com

.

While it’s no secret that the CIA has had a “covert” program supplying weapons to Syrian rebels for years, and it’s likewise no secret that Saudi Arabia has been throwing large sums of money and arms at rebel factions, it’s only now being understood how closely linked those two schemes were.
.
The administration is said to have seen the plan as a way to get control over the Saudi arms smuggling into Syria, fearing the Saudis would be willing to send arms to factions the US wouldn’t see as allies. This largely didn’t work, of course, meaning the US-Saudi arms ended up more or less everywhere.
.
The Saudis, meanwhile, saw letting the US in on their arms scheme as both a rubber stamp for continuing the program, and as a way to oblige the US to let them be involved in the final settlement talks on the Syrian War, and back Sunni Islamist factions.
.

The TOW anti-tank missiles and Chinese anti-aircraft missiles that ended up in the control of various rebel factions, including ISIS and other Islamists, were provided by and large through the CIA program, and sourced and paid for by the Saudis.

Full Iran sanctions to be lifted from today

Iran Sanctions Lifted as IAEA Confirms They’re in Full Compliance With Deal

Kerry Orders US Sanctions Immediately Lifted

by Jason Ditz,at antiwar.com

As expected, the International Atomic Energy Agency has issued a statement today affirming that Iran is is full compliance with all commitments under the P5+1 nuclear deal, with IAEA chief Amano Yukiya praising all involved for making the pact happen.
.

The IAEA statement obliges the international community to lift all nuclear sanctions against Iran, something they have wasted no time doing. Even the US, which was believed to be the last to abide by the treaty, has seen an order by the State Department to immediately lift all nuclear sanctions.
.
This means tens of billions, and by some estimates over $100 billion in Iranian assets, frozen in the West, will be freed up, and Iran will be able to sell its oil internationally like any other country. The freed up assets are expected to set the stage for massive Iranian spending on modernization of their economy. (INDUSTRY AND INFRASTRUCTURE...TARGET OF 10% GDP growth)
.
The last measure Iran needed to complete for compliance, the removal of the core from the Arak Heavy Water reactor, was completed Friday. The reactor, meant to produce medical isotopes, is to be re-designed by one of the P5+1 members, likely China, to satisfy international objections.
.
The hopes that the implementation would boost international diplomacy with Iran were bolstered by a side deal between Iran and the US to exchange prisoners. Five US detainees were freed in return for seven Iranians in this case.
.
Iran’s Reformist Rouhani government ran for election heavily on a pledge to make a deal to end the nuclear sanctions, and was eager to get the relief in place before next month’s elections, allowing them to campaign on the success. Though it had initially been speculated today’s confirmations would take until spring, that ultimately was not the case.

Sanctimonious bastard democracy---LIBERATED Bangladesh, with Russian help.

.

.
.
The USA directed ISIS problem and challenge for China via Uighur terrorism and the services of NATO Turkey, USA occupied Afghanistan and Pakistan WILL BE  written eventually, in the previous post. I badly needed to write that post when I saw ugly pictures of fully armed combat troops in the streets of Beijing in December, last year. They had been deployed in the Capitol after the USA embassy gave out vague, unsubstantiated warnings that ISIS/Uighur terrorists would target that city.


This kind of behavior is more than expected from Indonesia, where there is a secret nexus between the military and Islamic terror groups which causes ALL the terror in the country, directed by the CIA/MOSSAD and the USA trained generals of the Indonesian army.

This kind of behavior is more than expected from Pakistan, where there is a secret nexus between the military and Islamic terror groups which causes ALL the terror in the country, directed by the CIA/MOSSAD and the USA trained generals of the Pakistan army, through the ISI.......the Pathankot attack in India being the latest.

I felt deeply sad that the next great hope and superpower of the world...a force for global peace and justice had succumbed to mere 'gossip' to lock down its capital city, into a military camp.......what a shame! China jumps up and sits down when the USA orders it to, without thinking about the consequences for itself by itself. 

China needs to know that the USA together with Israel is the primary sponsor of state terrorism. Modern transnational terrorism does not morph by itself by magic, but requires the extensive resources of a state to do so....USA, Israel, France, UK, Turkey, Qatar and Saudi Arabia in the case of ISIS.

China needs to know these facts before more drastic draconian laws are introduced in the PRC akin to a military coup....and which harm millions of innocent Chinese people. China needs to know these facts so that it can more effectively fight international terrorism.

I was in East Pakistan/Bangladesh when the civil war began. The Pakistan army murdered 3,000,000 people and raped 500,000 women and girls in order to 'save' the place from India. I lived in an Island during that war, though I have vivid memories of the full horrors of the war....dead bodies of rival groups, floating corpses on the river Meghna, dogs feasting on corpses, jet fighters buzzing our house on their way to bombing a strategic bridge; Bhairab bridge......columns of tanks rumbling through the countryside....freedom fighters scavenging for food as they passed through...followed by Pakistani commando's looking for said freedom fighters.

India birthed Bangladesh, aided by RUSSIA.

The USA and more specifically Tricky Dicky tried to prevent this natural process, and downplayed the very real Pakistani army genocide which we experienced....even lauding it as necessary evil...after all how else did the British empire rule India, and its 400 million people? Pakistan was a Cold War ally of the USA, and Nixon's and Indira Gandhi personal Chemistry didn't mix.....There is a section of the American elite which loathe India's moral and spiritual leadership (A role that only belongs to the USA of course).......when and where it is applied in the international scene.

Sadly now India is led by an extreme right wing gay puppet of the USA brought into power by them and Israel, through the mechanism of populism, religious zealotry and false flag terrorism (South India...where the CIA/MOSSAD has had a strong presence since the days of the Tamil Tigers)....Modiji is on his 100th visit to the USA no doubt.

India and Russia's role in Bangladesh is not forgotten, however.

1971 War: How Russia Sank Nixon’s Gunboat Diplomacy

Exactly 44 years ago, India won a famous victory over Pakistan due to its brilliant soldiers, an unwavering political leadership, and strong diplomatic support from Moscow. Less well known is Russia’s power play that prevented a joint British-American attack on India

By Rakesh Krishnan Simha in the Russia & India Report and Russia Insider.

Washington DC, December 3, 1971, 10:45am.
.
US President Richard Nixon is on the phone with Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, hours after Pakistan launched simultaneous attacks on six Indian airfields, a reckless act that prompted India to declare war.
.
Nixon: So West Pakistan giving trouble there.
.
Kissinger: If they lose half of their country without fighting they will be destroyed. They may also be destroyed this way but they will go down fighting.
.
Nixon: The Pakistan thing makes your heart sick. For them to be done so by the Indians and after we have warned the bitch (reference to Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi). Tell them that when India talks about West Pakistan attacking them it's like Russia claiming to be attacked by Finland.
.
Washington, December 10, 1971, 10:51am.
.
A week later the war is not going very well for Pakistan, as Indian armour scythes through East Pakistan and the Pakistan Air Force is blown out of the subcontinent’s sky. Meanwhile, the Pakistani military in the west is demoralised and on the verge of collapse as the Indian Army and Air Force attack round the clock.
.
Nixon: Our desire is to save West Pakistan. That's all.
.
Kissinger: That's right. That is exactly right.
.
Nixon: All right. Keep those carriers moving now.
.
Kissinger: The carriers—everything is moving. Four Jordanian planes have already moved to Pakistan, 22 more are coming. We're talking to the Saudis, the Turks we've now found are willing to give five. So we're going to keep that moving until there's a settlement.
.
Nixon: Could you tell the Chinese it would be very helpful if they could move some forces or threaten to move some forces?
.
Kissinger: Absolutely.
.
Nixon: They've got to threaten or they've got to move, one of the two. You know what I mean?
.
Kissinger: Yeah.
.
Nixon: How about getting the French to sell some planes to the Paks?
.
Kissinger: Yeah. They're already doing it.
.
Nixon: This should have been done long ago. The Chinese have not warned the Indians.
.
Kissinger: Oh, yeah.
.
Nixon: All they've got to do is move something. Move a division. You know, move some trucks. Fly some planes. You know, some symbolic act. We're not doing a goddamn thing, Henry, you know that.
.
Kissinger: Yeah.
.
Nixon: But these Indians are cowards. Right?
.
Kissinger: Right. But with Russian backing. You see, the Russians have sent notes to Iran, Turkey, to a lot of countries threatening them. The Russians have played a miserable game.
.
If the two American leaders were calling Indians cowards, a few months earlier the Indians were a different breed altogether. This phone call is from May 1971.
.
Nixon: The Indians need—what they need really is a—
.
Kissinger: They’re such bastards.
.
Nixon: A mass famine. But they aren't going to get that…But if they're not going to have a famine the last thing they need is another war. Let the goddamn Indians fight a war.
.
Kissinger: They are the most aggressive goddamn people around there.
.
The 1971 war is considered to be modern India’s finest hour, in military terms. The clinical professionalism of the Indian army, navy and air force; a charismatic brass led by the legendary Sam Maneckshaw; and ceaseless international lobbying by the political leadership worked brilliantly to set up a famous victory.
After two weeks of vicious land, air and sea battles, nearly 100,000 Pakistani soldiers surrendered before India's rampaging army, the largest such capitulation since General Paulus' surrender at Stalingrad in 1943. However, it could all have come unstuck without help from veto-wielding Moscow, with which New Delhi had the foresight to sign a security treaty in 1970.
.
As Nixon’s conversations with the wily Kissinger show, the forces arrayed against India were formidable. The Pakistani military was being bolstered by aircraft from Jordan, Iran, Turkey and France. Moral and military support was amply provided by the US, China and the UK. Though not mentioned in the conversations here, the UAE sent in half a squadron of fighter aircraft and the Indonesians dispatched at least one naval vessel to fight alongside the Pakistani Navy.
.
However, Russia’s entry thwarted a scenario that could have led to multiple pincer movements against India.

Superpowers face-off
.
On December 10, even as Nixon and Kissinger were frothing at the mouth, Indian intelligence intercepted an American message, indicating that the US Seventh Fleet was steaming into the war zone. The Seventh Fleet, which was then stationed in the Gulf of Tonkin, was led by the 75,000 ton nuclear powered aircraft carrier, the USS Enterprise. The world’s largest warship, it carried more than 70 fighters and bombers. The Seventh Fleet also included the guided missile cruiser USS King, guided missile destroyers USS Decatur, Parsons and Tartar Sam, and a large amphibious assault ship USS Tripoli.
.
Standing between the Indian cities and the American ships was the Indian Navy’s Eastern Fleet led by the 20,000-ton aircraft carrier, Vikrant, with barely 20 light fighter aircraft. When asked if India’s Eastern Fleet would take on the Seventh Fleet, the Flag Officer Commanding-in-Chief, Vice Admiral N. Krishnan, said: “Just give us the orders.” The Indian Air Force, having wiped out the Pakistani Air Force within the first week of the war, was reported to be on alert for any possible intervention by aircraft from the Enterprise.
.
Meanwhile, Soviet intelligence reported that a British naval group led by the aircraft carrier Eagle had moved closer to India’s territorial waters. This was perhaps one of the most ironic events in modern history where the Western world’s two leading democracies were threatening the world’s largest democracy in order to protect the perpetrators of the largest genocide since the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. However, India did not panic. It quietly sent Moscow a request to activate a secret provision of the Indo-Soviet security treaty, under which Russia was bound to defend India in case of any external aggression.
.
The British and the Americans had planned a coordinated pincer to intimidate India: while the British ships in the Arabian Sea would target India’s western coast, the Americans would make a dash into the Bay of Bengal in the east where 100,000 Pakistani troops were caught between the advancing Indian troops and the sea.
.
To counter this two-pronged British-American threat, Russia dispatched a nuclear-armed flotilla from Vladivostok on December 13 under the overall command of Admiral Vladimir Kruglyakov, the Commander of the 10th Operative Battle Group (Pacific Fleet). Though the Russian fleet comprised a good number of nuclear-armed ships and atomic submarines, their missiles were of limited range (less than 300 km). Hence to effectively counter the British and American fleets the Russian commanders had to undertake the risk of encircling them to bring them within their target. This they did with military precision.
.
In an interview to a Russian TV programme after his retirement, Admiral Kruglyakov, who commanded the Pacific Fleet from 1970 to 1975, recalled that Moscow ordered the Russian ships to prevent the Americans and British from getting closer to “Indian military objects”. The genial Kruglyakov added: “The Chief Commander’s order was that our submarines should surface when the Americans appear. It was done to demonstrate to them that we had nuclear submarines in the Indian Ocean. So when our subs surfaced, they recognised us. In the way of the American Navy stood the Soviet cruisers, destroyers and atomic submarines equipped with anti-ship missiles. We encircled them and trained our missiles at the Enterprise. We blocked them and did not allow them to close in on Karachi, Chittagong or Dhaka."
.
At this point, the Russians intercepted a communication from the commander of the British carrier battle group, Admiral Dimon Gordon, to the Seventh Fleet commander: “Sir, we are too late. There are the Russian atomic submarines here, and a big collection of battleships.” The British ships fled towards Madagascar while the larger US task force stopped before entering the Bay of Bengal.
.
The Russian manoeuvres clearly helped prevent a direct clash between India and the US-UK combine. Newly declassified documents reveal that the Indian Prime Minister went ahead with her plan to liberate Bangladesh despite inputs that the Americans had kept three battalions of Marines on standby to deter India, and that the American aircraft carrier USS Enterprise had orders to target the Indian Army, which had broken through the Pakistani Army’s defences and was thundering down the highway to the gates of Lahore, West Pakistan’s second largest city.
.
According to a six-page note prepared by India's foreign ministry, "The bomber force aboard the Enterprise had the US President's authority to undertake bombing of the Indian Army's communications, if necessary."
.
China in the box
.
Despite Kissinger’s goading and desperate Pakistani calls for help, the Chinese did nothing. US diplomatic documents reveal that Indira Gandhi knew the Soviets had factored in the possibility of Chinese intervention. According to a cable referring to an Indian cabinet meeting held on December 10, “If the Chinese were to become directly involved in the conflict, Indira Gandhi said, the Chinese know that the Soviet Union would act in the Sinkiang region. Soviet air support may be made available to India at that time.”
.
Interestingly, while the cable is declassified, the source and extensive details of the Indian Prime Minister’s briefing remain classified. “He is a reliable source” is all that the document says. There was very clearly a cabinet level mole the Americans were getting their information from.
.
Intolerable hatred
.
On December 14, General A.A.K. Niazi, Pakistan's military commander in East Pakistan, told the American consul-general in Dhaka that he was willing to surrender. The message was relayed to Washington, but it took the US 19 hours to relay it to New Delhi. Files suggest senior Indian diplomats suspected the delay was because Washington was possibly contemplating military action against India.
.
Kissinger went so far as to call the crisis “our Rhineland” a reference to Hitler’s militarisation of German Rhineland at the outset of World War II. This kind of powerful imagery indicates how strongly Kissinger and Nixon came to see Indians as a threat.
.
An Indiana University study of the conflict says: “The violation of human rights on a massive scale—described in a March 30 US cable as “selective genocide”—and the complete disregard for democracy were irrelevant to Nixon and Kissinger. In fact, the non-democratic aspects of Pakistani dictator Yahya Khan’s behaviour seemed to be what impressed them the most. As evidence mounted of military atrocities in East Pakistan, Nixon and Kissinger remained unmoved. In a Senior Review Group meeting, Kissinger commented at news of significant casualties at a university that, ‘The British didn’t dominate 400 million Indians all those years by being gentle’.”
.
Nixon and Kissinger phoned Soviet President Leonid Brezhnev and asked for guarantees that India would not attack West Pakistan. “Nixon was ready to link the future summit in Moscow to Soviet behaviour on this issue," writes professor Vladislav M. Zubok in A Failed Empire. "The Soviets could not see why the White House supported Pakistan, who they believed had started the war against India. Brezhnev, puzzled at first, was soon enraged. In his narrow circle, he even suggested giving India the secret of the atomic bomb. His advisers did their best to kill this idea. Several years later, Brezhnev still reacted angrily and spoke spitefully about American behaviour."
.
Cold Warriors
.
Another telephone conversation between the scheming duo reveals a lot about the mindset of those at the highest echelons of American decision making:
.
Kissinger: And the point you made yesterday, we have to continue to squeeze the Indians even when this thing is settled.
.
Nixon: We've got to for rehabilitation. I mean, Jesus Christ, they've bombed—I want all the war damage; I want to help Pakistan on the war damage in Karachi and other areas, see?
.
Kissinger: Yeah
.
Nixon: I don't want the Indians to be happy. I want a public relations programme developed to piss on the Indians.
.
Kissinger: Yeah.
.
Nixon: I want to piss on them for their responsibility. Get a white paper out. Put down, White paper. White paper. Understand that?

Kissinger: Oh, yeah.
.
Nixon: I don't mean for just your reading. But a white paper on this.
.
Kissinger: No, no. I know.
.
Nixon: I want the Indians blamed for this, you know what I mean? We can't let these goddamn, sanctimonious Indians get away with this. They've pissed on us on Vietnam for 5 years, Henry.
.
Kissinger: Yeah. 
.
Nixon: Aren't the Indians killing a lot of these people?
.
Kissinger: Well, we don't know the facts yet. But I'm sure they're not as stupid as the West Pakistanis—they don't let the press in. The idiot Paks have the press all over their place.
