The Hill newspaper headlined on December 21st “Congress aims to label Russia ‘Aggressor State’ instead of state sponsor of terrorism”, and reported that
Congressional leadership is working to quickly introduce a bill condemning Russia as an “Aggressor State” amid plans for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to visit Washington on Wednesday.
The designation would provide the president new sanctions authorities to target Russian officials; however a House GOP aide called it a “half-baked” response to Zelensky’s demand that the U.S. designate Russia a state sponsor of terrorism.
The state sponsor of terrorism label would isolate Moscow internationally and compel the U.S. to impose costs on countries engaging with the Kremlin.
The Biden administration has rejected that effort, saying it would tie the hands of the U.S. in engaging with Russia generally and box in the administration on any diplomatic efforts to end Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Casting the issue as “Russia is an aggressor state,” is preparatory for Congress to declare war against Russia as America declared war against Japan on 8 December 1941, the “Declaration of State of War Against Japan”, which Constitutionally brought America into WW II. Casting the issue as being instead “Russia is a state sponsor of terrorism” would be preparatory for Congress to declare war against Russia as Congress avoided doing even when it slimily voted to authorize President G.W. Bush to the “Use of Military Force” on 18 September 2001, which unConstitutionally but instead only as a PR tactic enabled the U.S. to grab Afghanistan, and then Congress on 16 October 2002 voted even more slimily (and even more UnConstitutionally) “Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002” in preparation for the 20 March 2003 100% lie-based and totally illegal U.S. invasion of Iraq.
What the U.S. Congress is attempting to do here is to force the President to deal with today’s Russia as President FDR on 7 December 1941 (the day of Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor) dealt with Japan.
Joe Biden isn’t sufficiently neoconservative to suit this Congress. They want — perhaps with their now giving the ‘hero’ of the day, Volodmyr Zelenskiy, the dictator of Ukraine, a big Congressional hug — to goad the President ultimately into requesting them to declare war against Russia. WW III? “Bring it on!” they urge.
Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s new book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
It would be criminal on the part of the Americans, but relax. Those who make An invasion against Russia took in the ass in the end is not hitler? Isn’t that Napoleon?
Biden might be dead by then.
I certainly hope so!
The POTUS is just a ceremonial position. The occupant of the Oval Office is irrelevant.
Yes I agree, America is now a communist cesspit of evil. All the other heads of state who met with Zelensky, left office right afterwards, so this might mean Kamala is the next president? If so it will get much much more Hellish in the former free world.
I think he might already be dead. Can’t you see the arm in his back, green screened out?
Eric Zeusse, while normally maintaining a slim grip on reality, has fallen over the edge into schizophrenic delusion. Not sure why SF publishes his garbage, it’s not military analysis, it’s not even analysis, it’s a deranged monkey pounding on a keyboard.
Napoleon – The Russians use winter as a weapon.
Hitler – Stalin uses winter as a weapon.
Biden – Russia uses winter as a weapon
They have the same perspectives. Today, oceans are not the bariers they used to be.
In a real war, the US willl not be able to resupply the European front for any sustained amount of time. They will not win.
‘Winter as a weapon” works only with ground forces, armies. This war is fought with missiles, artillery, aircraft. Russia’s advantage is logistics, proximity to supplies.
AND HYPERSONIC NUKES and MISSILES of which the ROGUE NAZI TERRORIST NATION USA HAS NO DEFENCE AGAINST. =Z=
Oh sheet. No wonder I had recently been having the nightmares about mushroom clouds and instant vaporization.
Those that get vaporized would be the lucky ones.
No, they won’t declare war…but you just wish, to make forget your own failures and misjudgements…
Конец of Amerikansky!
Two can play that game, simply name USA as an AGGRESOR STATE in Iraq, Serbia, Libya, Syria and so on !!
Russia and China should do that. And do it at the UN level.
The Capitol Dome is the biggest whore house in the Western Hemisphere
Eric, the US have always been at war against Russia. Declaring Russia as an aggressor state isn’t a declaration of war but a PR stunt.
True that!!
Does this guy ever wear a dress shirt, a tie, a jacket?
…but…but he can play on piano…without use a hand….
As far as I am concern, he can wear leaves or nothing at all, he is a murderer and a bandit of the lowest kind and should be impaled, skinned alive, salted and superficially fried before being eaten by a pig, preferably still alive. He and all those child molesters and pet abusers and the war mongers that destroy this planet for fun.
This is hollywood creation like many things in these world.
The sooner he wears a rope around his neck or impaled up his ass, the better.
Russians wasted over thousand tanks against Ukrainian defense the same way Hitler wasted hundreds of tanks in Battle of Kursk , when the West attacks, Russia will be left without tanks .. Russia is a country led by amateurs and ignorants
Russia has thousands of tanks. They barely even touched their stocks just FYI. Yet as it seems, hundred of tanks are still visible in tank yards across the country of Russia. Evidence they haven’t touched their main armaments yet
The only terrorist state is the USA and the bought and paid for politicians who promote murder incorporated from their Washington D/C Congress office’s……..
It’s not the only one but it is the head of the beast.
Os russos que comemoram cada míssil, cada bomba, que cai na Ucrânia, matam crianças, bebês, grávidas, idosos. Tem sangue nas mãos de ucranianos. A justiça de Deus cai sobre eles.
Putin está mobilizando eles mesmo que comemoram para ir para guerra na Ucrânia, vão morrer na Ucrânia.
Em 3 dias a OTAN destrói o exército russo se declarar guerra.
Os cidadãos russos têm que se preparar , se caso os russos usarem armas de destruição em massa, com certeza muitas bombas de destruição em massa vai cair na Rússia e milhões de cidadãos russos vão morrer.
Putin destruiu a Rússia, ditador paranoico, todos que fazem as guerras deveria ir de frente pro campo de batalha. Os russos estão debaixo de uma ditadura. Os invasores têm que ser expulso, estado terrorista.
The Allies are coming to the rescue…russia is going to be totally destroyed…
REVENGE FOR BUCHA!!!!
Bucha was a staged movie that only degenerate sick minded #BloodThirstyYankees would do..
It doesn’t seem that Congress would declare war when they haven’t declared wars since 1941.
It is an unnecessary formality for the Empire of lies.
Biden has been replaced by Struan Roger. Moon over parador scenario. Neocon are war monger fms.
The world evolves around war. Since millennia the world has been shaped by wars, sad, but it is what it is.. And always a new empire rises. The fall of the great harlot (USA) is near.
If true as predicted, that will be the last thing United States will do before it evaporates from the face of Earth.
To me, this sounds once again like Russia needs to go all in on the invasion of the Ukraine. The Russians are no advancing to areas where the Patriot missile batteries are vulnerable. At this point, they can be stationed in the west of the Ukraine and have a safe and free fire zone all the way east. While I laughed at all the other game changer weapons, the Patriot system most definitely is.
WRONG!!!! The patriot system is OBSOLETE and DOES NOT PERFORM EVEN MODESTLY it has a poor record in the IRAQ war where it couldn’t even stop SCUD missiles and cannot protect against Houthi drones, the PATRIOT system is flawed as fuck, even the USA command know this and it sole purpose is to bring in the money for the USA that is all it is good for. ONE HYPERSONIC MISSILE and it is DEAD EVERY TIME there is NO DEFENCE against hypersonic missiles and the PATRIOT cannot even defeat SCUD missiles from last century let alone modern missiles and CERTAINLY NOT AGAINST HYPERSONIC MISSILES it wouldn’t even get a shot off before it was dead. So the ONLY game changer this will be is to show HOW BAD THIS SYSTEM IS and that it DOES NOT DO WHAT THE USA SAYS IT DOES. =Z=-
january is coming and with it some changes
Trump needs to be re-elected, and he will end the war. If not for other reason, it will make a huge entry for him in the history books. He will love that. He may even get Nobel peace price for that.
The Trumpster will end the war with Russia and start one with China. That’s how the present political charade rolls. The US regime want their war to pull them out of ressession. It seems the privileges of america are worth all the death and destruction a world war will bring.
Well… At least I can LMFAO before I get vaporized by the biggest fucking Russian nuke “when the time comes”… https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2022-12-21/great-moments-woke-history
That first image of Zelensky on Poopin Joe’$ lap is beyond comprehension “funny”!…
They wouldn’t declare war on Russia. The American people wouldn’t support it. The Pentagon wouldn’t even support that decision. You have a bunch of retarded congress members who would.
Another FSB written article ment to create panic and instill fear in russian people so they are easier to control. Create an artificial enemy for everyone to hate and they will not question the hardships at home. Basic intoxication . Eric Zeusse ? a total retard
Go back to nyt if this is too much for you.
Cry some more bitch.
The enemy could stage another false flag, like Bucha, to inflame people into supporting a war. Remember the Lusitania in WWI and Pearl Harbor in WWII
US will declare war on Russia AFTER it have nuked all of Russia.
This now is just rallying everyone on their side.
That will be the LAST THING YOU EVER DO ROGUE NAZI TERRORIST NATION USA as your little crumbling empire will disappear in SARMAT HYPERSONIC NUKES RAINING DOWN ON YOUR HOMELAND your tin pot NAZI empire will be FINISHED OVERNIGHT. SO YEAH BRING IT ON USA AND LETS SEE WHO IS STANDING AT THE END OF IT, AS YOU HAVE NO DEFENCE AGAINST THE SARMAT NUKES there will be HYPERSONIC NUKES RAINING DOWN ON YOUR CITIES and ALL YOU CARRIER GROUPS WILL BE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN IN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES OF YOUR PISSY DECLARATION OF WAR it will be all over before you see them NUKES. SO ONCE AGAIN BRING IT ON YOU NAZI USA FUCKERS AND WE WILL BE DANCING ON YOUR GRAVES BEFORE THE END OF THE 1st DAY. =Z=
