Increasingly NATO continue to bully Russia to squeeze her to submission just like the giant snake Anaconda does to its prey, and hence the name of this largest war game since the end of Cold War...
Has World War III Already Started? German Tanks Once Again Advancing towards Russia’s Border
Global Research, October 20, 2016
... And recently… for the first time since Operation Barbarossa, German tanks are once again advancing on Russia’s border.
You probably haven’t heard this extraordinary piece of news. That’s
because the mass media has basically ignored and obscured it. They’ve
been busy covering far more important things… like transgender issues
and Kim Kardashian’s latest stunt.
That’s why I want to tell you about Operation Anaconda 2016.
It’s the largest war game in Eastern Europe since the end of the Cold
War. It’s essentially a rehearsal to secure a quick NATO victory in the
event of war with Russia.
It was launched from Warsaw, Poland, recently and involves 31,000 NATO troops.
Operation Anaconda 2016 is one of the most important
stories you’re not hearing about. It shows how perilously close the
world is to another global war.
I found out about Operation Anaconda 2016 while in Warsaw with Doug Casey earlier this year.
Operation Anaconda 2016 is controversial even within NATO. German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier recently said:
“Whoever believes that a symbolic tank parade on the alliance’s eastern border will bring security is mistaken. We are well advised to not create pretexts to renew an old confrontation.”
Although Steinmeier said Operation Anaconda 2016 is symbolic, he failed to mention exactly what it symbolizes.
First, an Anaconda is a giant snake. It kills its prey by squeezing
it. From the Russian perspective, they’re the ones who feel squeezed.
This is precisely what the U.S. has been doing by fomenting so-called
colored revolutions in Ukraine and Georgia (both on Russia’s periphery)
and trying to absorb them into NATO.
Second, this unprecedented “tank parade” on Russia’s borders symbolizes nothing less than World War III.
According to Doug Casey:
It’s provocative, and actually quite insane. The Western media paints the Russians as the aggressors, which—let me shock you by saying this—is the opposite of the truth.
Russia is an economic minnow, producing nothing but oil and gas, and mostly unprofitably, at current prices. Its population is in permanent decline, and it’s actually a disintegrating empire with a dozen secession movements. Its only serious industrial sector is manufacturing weapons, but even the most advanced Sukhois and MiGs (like the F-22 and F-35) are artifacts of a bygone era.
The Russians aren’t in a position to threaten anyone—entirely apart from the fact that conquering neighboring countries no longer makes sense. In today’s world, you’re no longer acquiring an asset to be looted, but taking on a liability.
As for NATO, it’s outlived its usefulness by over 25 years. The huge
military bureaucracy is just a hammer in search of a nail. It should be
abolished before it gets everyone in a lot of trouble.)
Russian President Vladimir Putin has reacted to Operation Anaconda
2016 with alarm. At a recent press conference, he warned Western
mainstream media journalists that the world is sleepwalking into World
War 3, saying:
We know year by year what’s going to happen, and they know that we
know. It’s only you that they tell tall tales to, and you buy it, and
spread it to the citizens of your countries. Your people in turn do not
feel a sense of the impending danger—this is what worries me.
How do you not understand that the world is being pulled in an
irreversible direction? While they pretend that nothing is going on. I
don’t know how to get through to you anymore.
U.S. politicians like to use Putin as a piñata to show how tough they
are. Hillary Clinton has declared Putin to be the new Hitler. This is
the kind of thinking that fueled Operation Anaconda 2016.
Now, we’re not referees charged with deciding which political players are good guys and which are bad guys.
However, the portrait of Putin as a Hitler or a crazy man leading his
country toward disaster—the picture you get from the mainstream media
and from many politicians—is suitable only for propaganda posters.
I don’t give two you-know-whats about what happens in Eastern Europe,
except to the extent it might spark World War 3 and cause us to get
vaporized in a nuclear exchange.
Albert Einstein once said,
“I know not with what weapons World War 3 will be fought, but World War 4 will be fought with sticks and stones.”
IM Editor’s note:
It’s always been true, as Bourne said, that “war is the health of the State.” But it’s especially true when economic times get tough. That’s because governments like to blame their problems on outsiders; even an imagined foreign threat tends to unify opinions around those of the leaders.
Since economies around the world are all weakening, and political leaders are all similar in essential mindset, there’s good reason to believe the trend toward World War 3 is accelerating.
Unfortunately, there’s little any individual can do to practically change the trajectory of this trend in motion. The best you can and should do is to stay informed so that you can protect yourself in the best way possible and even profit from the situation.
