Dugin: World War 3 Is Coming
The Burning Platform ^ | 9/20/22 | Rod Dreher

Posted on 09/25/2022 8:46:53 AM PDT by Roman_War_Criminal

Did you see the idiotic triumphalism from Anne Applebaum in the wake of Ukraine’s recent battlefield triumphs? “It’s Time To Prepare For A Ukrainian Victory” said the headline. She wrote in the Atlantic, in part:

But even though the fighting may still take many turns, the events of the past few days should force Ukraine’s allies to stop and think. A new reality has been created: The Ukrainians could win this war. Are we in the West really prepared for a Ukrainian victory? Do we know what other changes it could bring?

She goes on to fantasize about Putin’s fall.

Meanwhile, here’s Putin’s favorite Russian nationalist ideologue, Alexander Dugin, with some rather less sunny words. Remember, you don’t have to agree with Dugin — some of what he says is hysterical — but you do need to take seriously the fact that very many Russians in power believe it.

There's nothing new here: a constant among the lies and propaganda is the Soviets or Russia threatening nuclear war.

Yawn.

The West is defending their new morality - which is in effect a civilization and culture in the spirit of the Antichrist

Remember when the left and the leftwing Atlantic were all about peace and peace protests? The left is a caricature of themselves, and they are hypocrites to their very core. The left has absolutely no moral compass. They simply adjust their morals to fill their need for power and control.

We are a sanctuary city, unless they come in our backyard.

Money in politics is evil, unless we can benefit from it.

Diversity is our strength, just not in our neighborhood.

Nixon is bad. The spying that Obama did was justified.

Trump is a danger because of the documents he took. “You mean wipe the server with a cloth?”

Damon Wilson, CEO/President of NED talking about a democratic Russia being the end goal.

The Neocons don't want a democratic Russia. They want a Russia who'll go along with the Neocon World Order.

Hungary is democratic, but it's called "authoritarian" because the Hungarians didn't vote the right way. Saudi Arabia and China are nondemocratic, but that's okay, because they're not pushing against the Neocons.

Of course, China is known for its patience. It will push back when it feels the time is ripe.

The elite here are in for a rude awakening if they think a world war is just what is needed, I’m afraid.

I would have a difficult time ginning myself up to defend a culture that considers me their enemy. Maybe I’ll just protect my home.

One thing very certain about the coming years in that region. There is nothing like an invasion for creating a near permanent ‘bad blood’ between countries. For proof, look to Finland’s view of Russia which, has a large basis on the Russo-Finish wars of 1939 and 1945.

This being said, think of the probable drawn-out cold war between the Ukraine and Putin’s desired revanche of Imperial Russia. Much of the European-Russia trade now goes through Ukraine. Much of the rest goes via shipping through Finland and the Baltic countries. Each of these are, for equal bad past history, are unfriends to Russia.

Essentially, southeast Europe aka The Balkans, has been a flash-point of armed clashes for a couple of centuries. Now, the Russian border states are being added as ANOTHER set of conflict points, are they not? AND, of course, Russia’s military performance against this much smaller opponent shows a weakness that is suboptimal for peaceful trade over the coming years.

NOTE: This is NOT A GOOD THING for anybody in that region. I am reminded of “The Guns of August” and how it was the very long-simmering antagonisms of the Ottoman Empire advance & retreat in the Balkans that made the assassination of the Austro-Hungarian heir in 1914 such a break point for the fall into WW1. Germany readily aligned with Austro-Hungary & the Ottomans (Central Powers) [CP] while Imperial Russia, smarting from the loss to Japan in the 1903 Russo-Japanese War, aligned itself with Serbia, Greece, Italy, France and Great Britain to oppose what was being demanded by the CP opponents.

If we take today and apply the WW1 template, there is the NATO coalition, created as a bulwark against the expansionist Soviet Union & Stalin in post-WW2 era. Then there is the Putin Russia that looks to restore the Imperial Russia of pre-WW1. In this effort, Putin is aligning with China, Iran and even old enemy Turkey (Crimean War). Why do I picture a large barrel of gunpowder and self-inflated people marching around it with cigarettes and waving their hands to boot!

The past is frequently a prologue to the future! Any battle with these opponents will involve a minimum of 4 recognized nuclear powers and probably more unrecognized but nuclear capable powers. One nightmare scenario that some thriller writer could flesh out; A firefight starts at the Russian non-contiguous enclave of Kaliningrad and everybody freezes waiting to see what happens next. With that news for world headlines, Iran thinks that this might be the best time to slap at Israel with ballistic missiles. Israel, seeing the trajectory on its radars, launches a counter strike with its own missiles. Both countries are known to be nuclear capable but neither wants to be first use. Saudi Arabia signals its intent to ready its nuclear forces against any provocation. Pakistan, declares itself an ally of Iran for now and makes aggressive noises about using its own nukes. India quickly responds publicly and in the UN about rabid rhetoric and children lighting matches in the powder magazine.

Well you know the dems with that whole “Our Democracy”.

They keep using that word. I do not think it means what they think it does. “our democracy” = our marxist color revolution

I’m suspecting that we are never told the truth.

Yes, the fact that people are talking about nuclear strikes as if they are just like any others only bigger, reveals how the regime and its supporting media have become totally untethered from reality. With total control and management of the Narrative, they have a nation, maybe a world, dumbstruck and oblivious.

BTW, Those who say Putin is bluffing were also saying that last January. Including Zelinskyy.

Wait a minute. It was just a couple weeks ago that there were posts here on FR by pro-Russia FReepers that the PTB were distancing themselves from this guy, and that they did not subscribe to his extremism. Hell, there is also suspicion that the bomb that killed his daughter was actually intended for him, and that it was the work of Kremlin insiders.

Back in 1970, early in my USAF days, one of the first things instilled in us was the threat of “Rumors and Propaganda.”

I’ve made that same observation. I don’t think Kennedy was bluffing with Cuba nor were Reagan and Thatcher in Germany, 1982. What we are seeing is the mirror image of how Reagan and Thatcher proceeded in the early 80s. Faced with hopeless conventional odds in a Warsaw Pact armored thrust through the Fulda Gap, Reagan put intermediate range missiles capable of striking Moscow in Germany. These served as a credible trip wire. It worked. Russia has already announced a similar tactic for the soon to be heavily fortified Finnish Russian border. Russia has effectively dropped an iron curtain of nukes around those areas of Donbas being consumed this week. I used to think it might take an actual NATO force strike on Russia to set it off. From what Moscow is saying, a continuation of the last three months might strike the match.

Putin started threatening nuclear war on the first day of his invasion, on the third day he put his nuclear forces on alert.

Putin has been hammering the nuclear threat ever since, constantly, and having his agents and state media constantly threatening nuclear weapons and war.

Putin has been trying to normalize nuclear weapons for use in invading a neighboring country, normalizing them to stop anyone from aiding the country under invasion. Putin is trying to sell nuclear weapons as usable for normal warfare.

The United States of America, the Western world, and the rest of the world cannot allow this to happen and cannot surrender its foreign policy in advance to every nation with nukes.

Oh, just take a look at how this conversation was handled by EVERYONE in the world for sixty years until the media masters changed the narrative to the world class idiocy you’re talking. Good Lord! You’re going eyeball to eyeball in this nuclear pissing contest over, “well SOB, the prosecutor got fired”! Do you really think Biden is risking my nine grandchildren over Ukrainian freedom?!? Even if he was, what concern is it of America? The only time Russia ever attacked us was in Hillary’s paranoias. Insanity.

It is indeed coming

30-45 minutes after the first button is pushed the regret will be huge.

And that bell can’t be unrung.
