America Confronts Russia: Two Steps Forward, One Step Back | Global Research

Washington’s plan to seize Ukraine and to evict Russia from its Black
Sea naval base has come amiss. But as Lenin said, “two steps forward,
one step back.”

Do you remember all the tough talk coming from John Kerry, the White
House Fool, Hilary Clinton, and the lickspittle Merkel about the harsh
sanctions that would “badly damage” the Russian economy unless Russia
prevented the referendum vote in Crimea? Well, it was all bullshit, more
hot air from the White House sock puppet and the lickspittle German
chancellor who is a disgrace to the German nation. As the Russians kept
telling John Kerry, sanctions on Russia would destroy Europe and do
little damage to Russia.

I wish the Russians had kept this to themselves. I was looking
forward to the Washington morons destroying NATO by closing down the
European economy.

Of course, after pretending that they were macho tough guys,
something that Washington’s presstitute media could hype as sanctions
had to be imposed, so Washington came up with sanctions, not on Russia,
but on eleven individuals: the deposed Ukrainian president, an advisor
to the deposed president, 2 Crimean officials, and 7 Russians.

The choice of the officials is an utter mystery. The seven Russians
are a Putin aid, a Putin adviser, four members of the Russian parliament
(Duma) and a deputy prime minister. What any of these people had to do
with the referendum in Crimea, no one knows.

Moreover, the sanctions only apply to foreign bank accounts that
these 11 individuals might have outside Russia. Most likely, that means
only the deposed Ukrainian president, if we are to believe all the
propaganda about him. Other reports say that the sanctions are only for
the next six months.
