Chris Martenson, Peak Prosperity: Is It Time To Prepare For War?

From my perspective, the made-for-public Western news copy regarding Ukraine and Russia is childishly slanted and one-sided. The level of so-called aggression by Russia cannot even remotely be compared to the United States' naked aggression against Iraq – a country that had not attacked the US, threatened the US, or had any WMD program (which even if it did, would still have not constituted a legitimate reason for invasion by another nation under existing international law.)

So there’s a heavy dose of “Do as we say, not as we do” when it comes to US pronouncements of ‘unacceptable aggression’ on the part of Russia. Predictably, Russia is less than pleased -- as in the way they would be if routinely lectured in the press by Captain Hazelwood on the importance of boating safety.

WNU Editor: I for one am skeptical that such a conflict will break out. Both populations definitely do not want it, and while some politicians and Generals feel comfortable in raising the rhetoric .... that is a red line that almost everyone is reluctant to cross. Having that .... I know that I should also never say never.
