You mean that February 22 statement by Comrade Putin threatening nuclear war against the West?
Your good buddy Cranked posted this article yesterday. I’ll respond to you the way I responded to him:
Ah, Joseph Massad. Rabidly anti-America and anti-West, and a virulent anti-Semite.
His opening sentence is telling: “It is the US and the imperialist West, not Iran or Russia, who have posed and continue to pose the largest possible threat to human survival.”
And, this gem: “(Liz Truss) is not alone among political leaders in the western imperialist states to threaten nuclear annihilation in the past few months if their hegemony and imperial profits were threatened by resistance to their exploitation and control of the globe.”
Did she say “...if Britain’s hegemony and imperial profits were threatened by resistance to their exploitation and control of the globe?” No, of course she didn’t. But the toxic Dr. Massad is not at all reluctant to make up slanders and cloak them in hyperbole.
And this: “The French foreign minister subsequently threatened Putin,” a lie “...who spoke of Russia’s nuclear capabilities as a defensive measure,” another lie, because ballistic nukes are offensive weapons “...by declaring that Nato, too, remained a “nuclear alliance” and “that is all I will say about this”. Macron responded to Putin’s bluster about the power of Russia’s nuclear forces by saying, “We have nuclear weapons, too.”
Massad is a shameful fraud, a mountebank, and huckster, tightly wrapped in hate and bilious slanders.
