The United States Has Committed Numerous Acts of War Against Russia
American Thinker.com ^ | May 7, 2022 | James A. Nolet

Posted on 05/07/2022 2:42:03 AM PDT by Kaslin

The United States has committed numerous Acts of War against Russia this year. This is not a value judgment. I make no claim here about whether the United States has acted wisely, or has acted with justification. I simply note it. And the world may now be tumbling into an interlocking cycle of escalation beyond control and foreseeable consequences, just as it did in 1914.

That the United States has committed Acts of War in no way justifies Russia’s actions; neither is it to say therefore that World War III and nuclear war have become inevitable, though Russian state media are openly speculating about the real risk of these. Countries often commit Acts of War against other countries, and no war breaks out when the offended party chooses for whatever reason not to respond. But they can respond, and that is the point here.

Iran committed an Act of War when it seized the 52 embassy hostages during Jimmy Carter’s presidency. This was an especially grievous and barbaric Act of War, because embassy officials are supposed to be sacrosanct. Even Nazi Germany and the USSR understood and respected that in 1941 when Germany attacked the USSR; despite the attack and the state of war, both sides dutifully and peacefully exchanged their respective embassy staffs. In this sense, Iran was even more barbaric than those two, and the United States would have been within its rights to seek a Declaration of War, though chose not to.

The United States committed an Act of War against Mexico with Operation Fast & Furious. The United States sent weapons to drug cartels who have established quasi-independent narco sub-states inside Mexico, in rebellion against the central government in Mexico City.

So Russia and China have never funded or supplied states that commit terrorist acts, or in the midst of military hostilities (e.g. Viet Nam).

Yeah sure.

Russia is waiting until it gains certain control of specific strategic areas of security in Ukraine. They have China and other anti-American and anti-NATO forces backing them who are also chomping at the bit.

It is clear to the whole world that the USA leadership are very weak right now, as they’ve been given over to reprobate mind.

Whole world has united and condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine, with more than 25 countries sending weapons.

The American Acts of War against Russia come in two flavors:
1) economic sanctions, and
2) transfer of weapons and intelligence to a belligerent with whom Russia is at war.
 
...
 
Japan attacked the United States purely for economic reasons. 
 
...

In the current war, it is well-known that the United States and NATO have furnished Ukraine with billions of dollars’ worth of lethal weapons.  (NERF stock has fallen dramatically!)
 
...

as they’ve been given over to reprobate mind.
——————
….and it appears a “ hook has been placed into peoples jaw”….sound reasoning and discernment has disappeared and war, war, war has been implanted into the Ukie war cheerleaders minds.

Like the Covid vax hoax, Senile Joe’s war agenda is corrupted, evil. Anything vegetable head Joe supports, instates, or proposes is evil. The west is being played, again, and being sucked right in like sheep going to the slaughter.

Pray for the gift of “ discernment “.

...hard to make the claim that the US and NATO have stayed neutral in this war, so when it expands on May 9th, we shouldn’t be surprised. Instead we should be happy, as the Neocons will finally get what they’ve wanted all along. Right?

Somebody needs a lesson on basic math. UN voted 141 to 5 to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

“Somebody needs a geography class.”

For starters, we can show them India and China, both countries which have told the West to pound sand with regarding to starting WW3.

Symbolic, my boy, symbolic. Any luck getting India to join the sanction? China, maybe? Brazil?

Since 2001, all world leaders have viewed the West, and particularly the United States, as wounded predators. They do not dare to confront them and look for ways to accompany them gently to the cemetery.

the winner of the war will be Raytheon
