When the Soviet Union disappeared in 1991, U.S. weapons makers saw their Cold War gravy train grind to a halt. By 1993, the big weaponeers like Boeing, Raytheon, Northrup and Lockheed stemmed the bleeding by gobbling up the smaller players, acquiring new economic muscle in a dwindling domestic market.
To keep profits booming they turned eastward, all the way to the former Soviet republics. Their brilliant scheme was to bring these nations into NATO so they could sell them endless billions in weaponry. Weapons hawkers flooded these new markets while their lobbyists flooded Congress, making defense contractors among the most prominent supporters of NATO expansion. They had plenty of help from NATO expansionists in Congress, the military and the pundit class.
It didn’t matter the US promised Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev that if Russia allowed German reunification, NATO would not move one inch eastward toward Russia. The munition giants weren’t subtle about their plan. Lockheed V.P. Bruce Jackson became president of the US Committee to Expand NATO. Congressman on the hunt for free goodies and campaign cash were an easy mark to forget the US promise to Gorbachev.
Beginning with Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary in 1999, NATO added 14 former Central and Eastern European countries in an alliance right up to Russia’s borders. These countries have now purchased over $16 billion in Western weaponry, with endless more to come.
Overall, defense contractors’ efforts to shut down the peace dividend in 1991 has been a smashing success. For Ukraine, Russia, Europe, the US, indeed the world, it helped provoke an illegal, murderous war that may spiral into a smashing catastrophe for mankind.
Walt Zlotow became involved in antiwar activities upon entering University of Chicago in 1963. He is current president of the West Suburban Peace Coalition based in the Chicago western suburbs. He blogs daily on antiwar and other issues at www.heartlandprogressive.blogspot.com.
Ukraine was weaponizing Plutonium.
Does NATO approve? Russia asked them to withdraw their nukes and they ignored it. So all of NATO IS in for a rumble? RUSSIA IS COMMITTED TO reply to YOUR RESOLVE TO DESTROY THEM WITH ABSOLUTE WAR.
They owe you a beat-down for assassinating the Tsar. Remember that? Our industrialists and bankers with the City of London replaced the Tsar with the kind of people we could do business with. Russia became what our nation would look like had we lost the civil war to the City and southern industrialists including Andrew Carnegie: to be run by Ayn Rand Titans.
Russia already asked the NATO nukes be removed to prevent further trouble because NATO industrialists were Weaponizong in Ukraine.
NATO IS IN CHECK. HAS BEEN ADVISED. DON’T EXPECT A SPECIAL INVITATION IF YOUR DIPLOMACY IS INSINCERE. RUSSIA IS DEFENDING ITSELF FROM ANOTHER GENOCIDE, LIKE YOU DID THE TSAR AND THIS TIME YOU NEED TO LISTEN TO THEIR CONCERNS. This time they will defend their heritage with Absolute War.

Russia has an accurate eschatology.
The US Religous Right has an eschatology too but it severely flawed, the idea that the “head” in Ezekiel 38:3 which is an english translation of ‘rosh’ was actually Russia was published in the Companion bible ~1910 in a footnote. This footnote is damaging and wrong. It displays a flagrant violation, an exception of the researcher’s integrity, a ‘guess’ which is of itself alarming to find in his work.
Rosh = head, a feminine noun, not a masculine name of a Geographic
Region. Russia is not north of Palestine. Is not the Head of Japheth’s and Ham’s line. Russia is defending the believer line of Abraham. Going to war on them is futile.
The whole Western Eschatology is wrong. Russia is not the Head of regions of Gog.
The three genetic branches of Noah are identified: Japheth’s, Ham’s and Shem’s. Two were NOT The Branch. The Branch, the Living Branch, Arron’s Branch is the Diaspora of the Elect, the 144,000.
Many are called but few are chosen. Only the Elect emerge from the entire world Alive. That means there will be blood. So it goes.
Yup, a loon.

My best marketing relies on the lurker and voyer and eavesdropping gossip.
You complete me.
This article is incorrect. The. weapons manufactures profit from the Globalist war-making Cabal, but they don’t actually dictate foreign policy. Only the Cabal does that (Rothschild, Soros, Schwab/WEF, Council Foreign Relations, Bildeberg Group, CIA/Mossad etc)
Good points.
The snake eats its tail. Old artwork and Royal jewelry.
That is the summation of Lucifer’s dominion. See John 10:10(a) for details of Lucifer’s three-fold dominionist ministry. Worldly names and .orgs are inconsiquental -they obfuscate the real spiritual underpinnings. The kingdoms and kings and peeps belong to Lucifer’s Dominion UNLESS one gets a new better Lordship.
This is the Way: Romans 10:9
>Confess Jesus as your Lord
>Believe that God raised him from the dead
>get Saved ( made whole, Body, Soul + holy spirit)
It was USA strategy to arrive at the current war.
The auxiliaries and the army of the USA stand ready on the borders of Ukraine and other nations such as Sweden, and Finland are encouraged to enter war in the Ukraine.
The USA planned and is supervising this war.
From a safe distance of course..
