The NEOCON’s Endless Wars
QUESTION: Do you believe that the Kremlin was preparing for a large-scale conventional war with NATO by the end of the decade, as they are claiming in Germany?

ANSWER: There is no question that Putin must face reality. As long as the NEOCONS are in charge of the West in both the USA and NATO, there is no chance of actually living together. Like Hamas fighters who, since birth, were raised to hate Jews, our NEOCONS have been so indoctrinated regarding Russians. They will NEVER accept a peaceful coexistence. We had one with our economies interlinked, and then they used Ukraine as their sacrificial lamb to weaken their archenemy. This has NEVER been about Ukraine. The West does not care if a single Ukrainian is still standing. They are expendable pawns on the geopolitical chessboard.
While the West has long sought the conquest of Russia for its wealth, Britain took two major historical military actions against Russian territory, both aimed at weakening the Russian state rather than conquering it. These were part of larger coalition efforts. The first was the Crimean War (1853-1856), which is the most famous example of British military conflict with Russia. Then Britain joined France, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia vs. the Russian Empire. The primary goal was to check Russian expansionist ambitions, particularly towards the weakening Ottoman Empire. Britain was determined to prevent Russia from gaining control of the strategic Dardanelles and Bosporus straits, which would threaten British trade routes and naval dominance in the Mediterranean. The coalition was victorious. The Treaty of Paris forced Russia to demilitarize the Black Sea and cede some territory. It was a major setback for Russian influence in the region.
