The Kremlin’s weak responses to provocations continue to encourage the West to bring Russia more, and more dangerous, provocations.It is irresponsible for Washington and Washington’s NATO puppet states to provoke Russia.But seeing weakness in the Kremlin, it is hard for the West to restrain itself.The West now dismisses Russian threats as bluster.Consequently, the West has moved from provocation to aggression. With arms shipments and diplomatic support, the West has become a de facto combatant allied with Ukraine against Russia.
The Kremlin is now faced with a much enlarged frontier with NATO from the prospect of Finland, with its long border with Russia and nearness to St. Petersburg, joining NATO.Finland is under no danger of Russian attack as matters stand, but will be if Finland joins NATO.Joining NATO means Finland will be nuclear-targeted, which currently the country is not.It is obvious that Finland’s security deteriorates if Finland joins NATO.
So why join?
The most obvious answer is that Washington has paid the Finish leaders to add to the pressure on the Kremlin by joining NATO.I have good reason to believe this.Years ago I was in the Pentagon in the office of a very high official being offered an important appointment.I used the opportunity to ask a question about something that had long puzzled me.
How, I asked, does Washington manage to get foreign governments to support Washington’s interests at the expense of their own countries?
“Money,” the high Pentagon official said.
“You mean foreign aid,” I said.
“No,” the official said, “we give the political leaders bags full of money.
We own them. They report to us.”

The Kremlin cut its own throat in order to prove how democratic it is.
Little wonder that the Russian government failed to convince the West that provoking Russia means death and destruction for those who provoke. This strategic failure of the Kremlin means that the ever worsening provocations are destined to push Russia’s back to the wall. At that point, the nukes will go off.
The utter and total stupidity of the human race makes one wonder why God gave dominance over the earth to mankind, the least intelligence of the species.
