Vladimir
Putin is one of the few remaining world leaders with the gumption to
obstruct Washington’s agenda of full spectrum dominance. The recent
Russian elections provided the context for a full-scale attempt to
destabilize the country. Spearheaded by the infamous National Endowment
for Democracy, the script included the usual cast of western-coached
characters, including a blogger, without which a "color revolution"
would not be complete. Engdahl analyzes the geo-political ramifications
of Washington’s rash movements.
Washington clearly wants ‘finito’ with Russia’s
Putin as in basta! or as they said in Egypt last spring, Kefaya—enough!
Hillary Clinton and friends have apparently decided Russia’s
prospective next president, Vladimir Putin, is a major obstacle to their
plans. Few however understand why. Russia today, in tandem with China
and to a significant degree Iran, form the spine, however shaky, of the
only effective global axis of resistance to a world dominated by one
sole superpower.
On December 8 several days after election results for Russia’s
parliamentary elections were announced, showing a sharp drop in
popularity for Prime Minister Putin’s United Russia party, Putin accused
the United States and specifically Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
of fuelling the Russian opposition protesters and their election
protests. Putin stated, “The (US) Secretary of State was quick to
evaluate the elections, saying that they are unfair and unjust even
before she received materials from the Office of Democratic Institutions
and Human Rights (the OSCE international election monitors-w.e.)
observers.” [1]
Putin went on to claim that Clinton’s premature comments were the
necessary signal to the waiting opposition groups that the US Government
would back their protests. Clinton’s comments, the seasoned Russian
intelligence pro stated, became a “signal for our activists who began
active work with the US Department of State.” [2]
Major western media chose either to downplay the Putin statement or
to focus almost entirely on the claims of an emerging Russian opposition
movement. A little research shows that, if anything, Putin was
downplaying the degree of brazen US Government interference into the
political processes of his country. In this case the country is not
Tunisia or Yemen or even Egypt. It is the world’s second nuclear
superpower, even if it might still be an economic lesser power. Hillary
is playing with thermonuclear fire.
