Some readers have asked why Russia regards Finland’s membership in NATO as a provocation. For the same reason that Ukraine’s membership is a provocation: US missile bases on Russia’s border.
Editor’s Commentary: I have always appreciated Paul Craig Roberts’ perspectives. My conversations with him have shown me he understands geopolitics better than just about anyone I know. I do not agree with everything he posted in the article below from Free West Media, but I’m printing it anyway because it does shed light on the reality that we are closer to war with Russia than any time since the Cold War.
The best way we can contribute to preventing WWIII from happening (other than prayer, of course) is to pressure our elected officials to keep us as far away from the regional conflict in Ukraine as possible. We can help the suffering Ukrainian people, but military intervention of any kind is not in our best interests, nor will it help to save the people of Ukraine.

He also said that conditions would be so bad that those still alive would envy the dead. Something to look forward to.
I hope the Kempeh tai will get you.

The media calls a lot of things other than what they are.
The mostly overlooked bottom line is that war is justification for enactment, imposition, enforcement of the WEF NWO.
Except that they have now abandoned that meme as a excuse...now it is "all about Nazis". Apparently all of the former Soviet satellite slave-states have suddenly transmogrified into proto-Hitler regimes to be eliminate.
And Russia is a victim
And in places with “state media” it’s believed to be state policy!
That was done in our name.
Yes, I was referencing that in my initial post.
Clearly NATO acting outside its charter. This time to make Hellary look like Eisenhower.
In places with "state media", it very likely "is" state policy.
Yes and they project that too us!
Appeasement has never worked in the past, it will not work now.....
Minot will take the first volley of nukes. Hope your shelter is secured....
History....hmmmm... What ‘defense’ role were NATO planes playing Libya when they bombed the crap out of it? Or Syria?
Yeah...both countries are in the ‘North Atlantic’ and were a serious threat....it was Ubama’s “lead from behind” BS....
Point.
Agreed.
