Not all you hear is real

[nevermind, neoliberalism has had it 159]

On the day Boris lost his amnesia and owed up to being at a forbidden party, we hear that the discussions between Blinken and Ryabkov over the fake pictures of Soviet troop build ups being sold as the real thing, to enable a toxic, war mongering NATO to further expand into Ukraine, a country that worships fascists such as Bandera, a country that holds commemorative events to the murderers of thousands of Jews, Just as Estonia and Lithuania, who have no leg to stand on over their anti Semitic past and present.

NATO is defunct and turning itself into the rogue actor of the west, aping US foreign policy at every turn. The assurances offered by the main nuclear states that they would never want to use nuclear weapons, unless it is an absolute emergency (unqualified), is a hollow assurance. Those who are now encouraging NATO to expand, when they explicitly said that they' would not expand one inch into eastern Europe', are guilty of fanning a new conflict.

Ukraine is not moving its US supplied troops back, as they said they would in the Minsk agreement, they want to carry on bombing Donbass. They are in the wrong.

This is what was said"

Washington D.C., December 12, 2017 – U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University (http://nsarchive.gwu.edu).

 

To those of you who have not heard much about Kazakhstan, lead for 40 year by Nazarbvyev,  governed by Tokayev, is a target for many interests as it has many resources, incl. gas, oil, rare earth elements and more. Gazprom is interested and chevron has some interests for some time, China wants to build its Silk road through it and America has been working to support the opposition. The ex Ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray, next door to Kazakhstan has his take, whilst Turkey/Quatar are busy supporting ISIS through out middle Asia.
