The Utter and Total Insanity of Western “Leadership”
Paul Craig Roberts ^ | 11/25/24 | Paul Craig Roberts

Posted on 11/27/2024 2:12:52 AM PST by EBH

Since my strong warning yesterday of the stupidity and insanity of Western leaders who are without any doubt driving the world to nuclear Armageddon, the hyper dangerous situation has further deteriorated. While we all look forward to Thanksgiving holiday, the leadership of the Western world is setting us up for death.

The insanity of the West is so extreme as to be incomprehensible. Not satisfied by taking the US and Europe to war with Russia by firing missiles into Russia, the NATO military committee is openly discussing preemptive missile strikes on Russia. This is extraordinary. At the present moment it is only Putin’s patience that stands between life and death on planet Earth. Putin is willing to tolerate the West’s provocations in the face of his clear warning until Trump assumes the presidency and indicates whether a mutual security agreement between the US and Russia is possible.

With life on earth dependent on Putin’s patience with the West, what does the West do? The NATO Military Committee openly discusses a preemptive attack on Russia. To be effective, the attack would have to be nuclear.

Admiral Rob Bauer, the insane fool who is head of the NATO military committee, said publicly that NATO has changed its attitude and is no longer the defense organization that its charter defines it to be. It has become a first strike force. Here are his words: “It is more competent not to wait, but to hit launchers in Russia in case Russia attacks us. A combination of precision strikes is needed that will disable the systems that are used to attack us, and we must strike first.”

If not insanity, it is the triumph of evil that the West tells Putin, whose patience is the only guarantor of avoidance of nuclear war, that NATO is considering preemptive strikes on Russia.

My warning yesterday and my denunciation of the stupidly insane Western “leaders” who have us slated for total destruction was not strong enough. We now have NATO, a puppet organization of Washington, telling Putin to expect a first strike attack to prevent him from making good on his warning about starting a war with Russia.

For a person of my generation, such callous disregard for human life as Western “leaders” proclaim is incomprehensible. With nuclear war on the table, the task is to defuse the threat, not to inflame it. But the insane West has chosen to inflame it.

And the people of the West are unaware. The media lies to them and withholds real information. Those few of us who bring reality to the people barely receive enough support to keep the website operating. For our troubles we are called names and are subject to the FBI calling on us.

Right now with the world on the cusp of destruction, what are Americans thinking about? Will Thanksgiving be ruined by political differences between Trump supporters and Democrats? How is my college football team doing? Is my 12-year old daughter taking her birth control pills? Can I make my car payment next month? Is my boss going to fire me because I am a white male and used the wrong pronoun for a transgendered co-worker. These, and such, are the concerns of Americans as their “leaders’ lead them to the brink of nuclear war.

Dear readers, be assured that the Russians have noted these latest threats. Pray that Putin’s patience holds even at the risk of his own country.

President Reagan appointed Dr. Roberts Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Economic Policy and he was confirmed in office by the U.S. Senate. From 1975 to 1978, Dr. Roberts served on the congressional staff where he drafted the Kemp-Roth bill and played a leading role in developing bipartisan support for a supply-side economic policy. After leaving the Treasury, he served as a consultant to the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of Commerce.

Paul Craig Roberts may be remembered, if for no other reason than for the title he used for his farewell syndicated column: “Truth has fallen and taken liberty with it.”

The insanity of the West is so extreme as to be incomprehensible.

Now that the rest of the world has caught up (and even surpassed) to the West in technical know-how, there isn't much the West has to offer the world right now, besides more birth control, abortions, gay marriages, and transvestite surgeries.

Anyone who thinks Democrats are the “party of peace” is deluded. Biden has never even tried to negotiate a truce between Russia and Ukraine. He just ships U.S. weapons to Ukraine telling it to use them against Russia. It’s a proxy war and we are definitely involved.

Joe Biden is a composite president who is now controlled by extreme leftists who are socialists, who seek to destroy America and rebuild it according to their Utopian wet dreams.

And they will indeed bring WWIII, they think they do good, and are warped beyond any measure by their ideology.

The whole world has grown to detest Biden and his leftist gamesmanship of destruction.

This destruction of the West is rooted in Soros, WEF, Bill Gates, Bilderberg Group, et al.

I have been thinking lately...

Putin old, Biden old...both cold war politicians before I was old enough to vote.

But it was my generation that saw the Wall come down.

It is like watching two children being told over and over don’t touch that button. But they keep looking at each other saying,

No you do it first, no you do it and back and forth they dare each other until they both simultaneously push the button.

But it is not just two old men who thought they’d see the world end in their liftetime, there’s a whole contingent waiting and rooting them on. Funny thing is most of them ...THEM...are terribly old. In fact some were hippies etc.

I thought they were crazy back then (late 1970s), but it is still the same flag burning crowd. It is like they marched, protested etc. right into political offices, schools, media and now everything they ‘fought’ against they cannot wait to see it finally come true.

Roberts makes a great point that this ideology is so ingrained into this generation, President Trump is not going to be able to rid of us of it. In a recent interview, very recent interview (days ago) he goes in depth to explain how these deep state rulers are not going to accept Trump’s appointments or cabinet. That for President Trump, they will make the cabinet just window dressing and nothing more.

This is what happens when decision makers hide behind a senile old man. They can cause total war without blowback on themselves because - I can’t believe I’m saying this - we STILL don’t know exactly who is pulling strings with Biden and we only suspect it’s the same faceless idiots who pulled Obama’s strings. We suspect this one and that one until there’s no one who will hold the responsibility for insanity.

What the author says is bonechillingly right. All that keeps a war of annihilation at bay is the patience of a man who is also aging but trusts Trump enough to believe that if we can just reach Jan 20 still alive, humanity has a chance to survive.

Incredible article. Thank you for finding it.

Western “Leadership” has evolved into an oxymoron. The leadership these days is more likely to be a form of a corrupt socialism ruling body that exists only to please and enrichen itself of which we peasants work for the king rather ourselves.

The state we find ourselves in is the Globalist last hurrah, their last gasp and it may be fatal for all of us - the ‘Jim Jones Complex.’ Truth is NATO has been working toward this moment for years and they will not let it go. They want to make it Putin’s fault, but he won’t bite, so now they admit they have to be the aggressor, the flash point, to get this holocaust under way. It’s raw insanity being played out before our very eyes and they are in a mad rush to do it before Trump assumes power.

I think going back to Ayn Rand novels would help understand it.

Leftist politicians are users…they don’t create, build, solve. All they are skillful at doing is manipulating others.

Thus I wonder how in tune with reality they really are? Then if you throw in a healthy dose of dementia on Joe Biden and the fact Jill (likely) was involved in helping him appoint the most woke staff. We may truly be lead by the first delusional administration in history.

Let’s hope we make it alive to Jan 20.

Here are his words: “It is more competent not to wait, but to hit launchers in Russia in case Russia attacks us. A combination of precision strikes is needed that will disable the systems that are used to attack us, and we must strike first.”

An intractable apparently implacable madness has come over many among us. These crazies can no longer be tolerated, they have to be dealt with. We’re in big g trouble. This is what comes of accepting an illegitimate president.

Trump has talked with Putin...I think we’ll see Ukraine stop those attacks on 21 January hence Putin’s patience.

He is just saying the things that many of us are already thinking. Add onto that I don’t ever recall a time where we were just hoping to get to the inauguration of the president elect. So to those that keep saying we’re fearmonger‘s or trolling threads and dismissing our concerns, we really have never been in this position as a nation before. Even under Reagan, it was bad but it sure didn’t feel this bad and maybe it was just Reagan who gave the world hope. And some may call it Hopium, but it’s not because you have to have hope in order to have a feeling to strive for a better world.

The situation is complex. The problems go back over 100 years.

Neither side is innocent nor 100% guilty.

What is significant is the level of fighting, every bit as vicious as WW1, as well as the high cost in money and lives.

The Russians, knowing their hands are filthy, understand that the Ukrainians have a right to defend the land they have held continuously since the early 1990s. This defense can legitimately take place in Ukraine or on Russian forces and weapons that have attacked or will attack Ukrainian defense forces.

What the Russians think is intolerable is Ukrainian forces holding Russian territory, even as a bartering chip of Ukraine to recover what was in 2021 Ukrainian-held territory. Any military action to hold truly Russian territory by the considerably tainted hands of Ukrainians will be fought fiercely by Russia. Western weapons used to hold or gain long-term Russian land are infuriating to the Russians. The use of Western weapons in the Kursk sector on long-term Russian land should be avoided.
