I feel like as soon as these holidays are over, we\u2019re going to war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHmm,\u201d she replied, not caught as off-guard as I\u2019d have thought. \u201cYou\u2019re not the first person today to talk about that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReally?\u201d Now <i>I<\/i> was caught off-guard. After all, most folks (especially at Christmas) tend to have other things on their minds besides foreign policy. \u201cWas it someone from another country?\u201d I asked. She shook her head.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn American?\u201d I was puzzled. She nodded.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh,\u201d I epiphanized. \u201cMilitary?\u201d Another nod. \u201cWhat did they say?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat there\u2019s gonna be a war. Early in the year. He\u2019s high up in the Air Force and told me he\u2019s been traveling, selling\/transferring weapons to the Marines; said they need it the most.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd this is for a war with Russia?\u201d I double-checked.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYep. Don\u2019t quote me or anything. I mean, I just met the guy, but my boyfriend has known him for 35 years and he basically said the military is preparing for war, and it\u2019s going to be a world war.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>My blood ran cold. Everything I\u2019ve been working to avoid, particularly these last two years through a monthly <i>Washington Times<\/i> column, was about to be actualized.<\/p>\n<p>I looked at my perpetually disheveled self in the mirror, at my dog-rescuer t-shirt, and muttered, \u201cWhat\u2019s the point of saving this or that dog when we\u2019re about to get them all nuked anyway?\u201d I thought of Russia\u2019s poor creatures too and of my mother\u2019s friend Sveta, the 1969 women\u2019s table tennis world champion, who now tends to Moscow\u2019s strays.<\/p>\n<p>The stylist brightened. \u201cHey, my daughter is studying to be a vet tech in college!\u201d I could barely muster a \u201cThat\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour hair looks so cute now! Look how it bounced right up. Wanna see the back?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I wasn\u2019t even aware of the large hand-held mirror she\u2019d thrust toward me, waiting for me to grab it. I took it limply and stared but could see only black in front of my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>So a nation collapsing unto itself before all the world is about to do what all the clich\u00e9s tell it to do: distract and unite the herd with war.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the Clinton Yugoslavia distraction from Lewinsky-Broaddrick\u2014on steroids. Atomic ones. Yugoslavia is a country that no longer exists. The Washingtonians and their pent-up henchmen\/masters running our military seek the same status for Russia. It\u2019s all there in Washington\u2019s eternal godfather Zbigniew Brzezinski\u2019s book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/the-grand-chessboard-zbigniew-brzezinski\/1111766540?ean=9780465094356\"><i>The Grand Chessboard<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I somehow managed to drive to my mother\u2019s house. I told her that, come the new year, we were going to war over Ukraine, the last straw for Russia of NATO\u2019s voracious expansion.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver <i>Ukraine<\/i>?!\u201d she sneered in Russian. \u201cListen, Russia is a crappy country, but a crappier country is Ukraine.

Her revulsion for the place extends to these shores\u2014she calls immigrants with still too much Russia in them (and she can spot them a mile away) \u201cnedoyehovshiye,\u201d or not-fully-arrived. As if they\u2019re still on the plane somewhere between Russia and America.<\/p>\n<p>My Odessa-raised father shared her undying hatred for the Soviet Union, where at six years old he gazed out at the Black Sea and asked my grandfather, \u201cHow might one get away from this place?\u201d The look in my parents\u2019 eyes when American liberals would defend the USSR, often with \u201cBut you had the Hermitage!\u201d convinced me of every human being\u2019s potential to kill.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, I was raised a <i>bona fide<\/i> Russophobe. But the anti-Russia hysteria that has engulfed our confederacy of dunces is ridiculous\u2014and very dangerous.<\/p>\n<p>An emergency NATO meeting on Russia was held January 7, ahead of last week\u2019s European security negotiations. Could it be all for show, pageantry for a fix that\u2019s already in? We\u2019ve done it before, in 1999 going through the motions with Belgrade at the Rambouillet Accords before bombing it. That was the last time our government, media, military, and public were this aligned on an issue. For months, Ukrainian soldiers have been on the move with great confidence against a much stronger neighbor, as if war were a foregone conclusion. What do they know that we don\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>Headlines from the talks have been uniformly downbeat, lowering expectations and narrowing options outside of war. Secretary of State Antony Blinken briefed the press that \u201cWe\u2019re prepared to respond forcefully to further Russian aggression.\u201d He promised \u201cmassive . . . economic, financial and other consequences.\u201d NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg came closest to spilling the beans, saying we needed to \u201cbe prepared for the possibility that diplomacy will fail.\u201d According to <i>Politico<\/i>, he \u201cwas cryptic when pressed for details.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, we\u2019re projecting such tactics onto our target, with an ABC report characterizing Russia\u2019s insistence on being taken seriously\u2014after decades of eye-poking by us\u2014as Vladimir Putin \u201cseeking a pretext for war.\u201d American officials\u2019 \u201cconcern is that the Russians will emerge . . . declaring that diplomacy has failed,\u201d a <i>New York Times<\/i> article read, \u201cand that Mr. Putin will . . . carry out cyber [attacks on] Kyiv.\u201d Lo and behold, the talks ended and Reuters informed us of \u201cUkraine suffering a massive cyberattack.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet they call it \u201cRussian paranoia\u201d when Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu asks what the United States was smuggling into Donetsk the week before\u2014apparently \u201ccontainers with unknown chemical components.\u201d As if convenient and sudden chemical attacks by our designated enemies haven\u2019t been the M.O. when United States prot\u00e9g\u00e9s are involved. Should we brace ourselves for some sort of \u201cincident\u201d that could scuttle all diplomatic and economic approaches, and \u201cnecessitate\u201d war? No, thanks to our media dutifully citing Ukrainian military intelligence, we\u2019re to expect only provocations being prepared by Russian special services. \u201cRussia may try to fabricate a pretext for an invasion of Ukraine,\u201d reports Reuters citing our own trusty intelligence agencies.<\/p>\n<p>So even if Joe Biden was \u201chopeful\u201d last month and ruled out U.S. military action over Ukraine, some things are as out of his hands as they were out of President Trump\u2019s. Meanwhile, any attempt to avert World War III is pounced on by Republicans as Biden caving to Putin. Witness Senator Ted Cruz\u2019s (R-Texas) reaction last week to an NBC headline (called inaccurate anyway by NSC spokeswoman Emily Horne) that read, \u201cBiden admin weighs proposing cuts to U.S. troops in Eastern Europe.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz\/status\/1479552609086283780\">Cruz tweeted<\/a>, \u201cIf Biden was trying to signal weakness &amp; surrender to Putin, what would he be doing differently?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re supposed to believe that the current crisis started with Russia\u2019s troop buildup and draft treaty demanding security guarantees, such as no staging of weaponry in the newer NATO states (states we had promised Mikhail Gorbachev would never become NATO states). In fact, these are a response not only to NATO advancing on Russia over the last two decades, but as the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs outlined last month in a protest letter, \u201cThe US military and its NATO allies have gone from attempts to <a href=\"https:\/\/email.mg1.substack.com\/c\/eJwlkcGO4yAMhp-m3BIFSKBz4LCXfY2IgJMyQyALplH36cdpJcxvMMbWZ2cRtlxeBqEiO3LFGV8HmARnjYAIhbUKZQ7eMG8GLZxeWKjzWgB2G6JhR1ticBZDTtcrpbnWA3sYraz38s7XyQJIPnFQ65e8L04LmNbVfYrZ5gMkBwaeUF45AYvmgXjUm_xzE39pnefZn7Y-QtowJww71N7lnSJXjyRiEJzEto32y1uCh1S7IzwzdmvJe5eai2BLd5Jh7lx4hvg-eJt-gFJYMPSNGPig-ThIqXrRT1xMXsvhyzolhfX9v3Semv9fb-Owb7yvbalo3c_VDSvmCbGGPSdO4e1C874nOjPp3lLA1wzJLhG8wdKA4Yf5G-O8QYJCs_CzRcPVyO-cSPJRTR9ORHZUelRcakaFfaasZL5bDJbGF9IvkFma6Q\">test the strength<\/a> of our border protection system to provocations against civilian aircraft . . . US and NATO military aircraft [have been] flying without radio communication or flight plans and failing to obtain air traffic control clearances . . . which violates basic principles of international air navigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Russia\u2019s military buildup is an attempt to be heard, to underscore the seriousness of what we\u2019ve been doing there. Russia has been trying to tell us it has nowhere to which it can retreat. \u201cWe are not deploying our missiles over at the border of the US,\u201d a Sky News report quoted Putin as saying. \u201cThe US is deploying its missiles . . . on the doorstep of our house. . . . And you keep demanding some guarantees from us. You must give us the guarantees.\u201d The Russian leader recalled that in the 1990s Russia did much to build good relations with the United States. \u201cHe added that CIA advisers were able to visit Russian military nuclear sites . . . \u2018What else did you need? Why did you have to support the terrorists in the North Caucasus . . . to reach your goals and break down the Russian federation?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But we don\u2019t talk to prey. That\u2019s why, days later, there was still no response from the State Department to the letter about our illegal air maneuvers. And it\u2019s why our political class scoffs at the idea of giving any heed to Putin\u2019s terms, practically everyone calling his proposal a \u201cnonstarter,\u201d despite his conditions essentially being an opportunity for us to unbreak our promises and show some integrity as the good-guy winner of the Cold War.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot gonna happen,\u201d former CIA Director Leon Panetta recently swaggered on \u201cMeet the Press.\u201d Then Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), as if we haven\u2019t been encircling Russia, deaf-toned with \u201cIf they do invade . . . we will move more NATO assets closer to Russia.\u201d How much closer can we get? Russia is damned if it does, and damned if it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>As with Bosnia, our politicians are being egged on by the press. Reporters goaded Biden during his June summit with Putin, and last month Chuck Todd told former Ukraine ambassador Bill Taylor, \u201cI worry that we have not given [Putin] consequences. He messed with Georgia, not a lot of consequences. He took Crimea, not a lot of consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oh yes, the Putin of our imaginations just \u201cmesses with\u201d neighbors. He invaded Georgia just because he wanted to, and not because we gave Georgian President Mikhail Saakashvili the nod to <a href=\"https:\/\/email.mg1.substack.com\/c\/eJwlkc2OrCAQhZ-m2WlAadAFi9nc1zAIpTKD4IVyjPP0Uz2dVOok1N_Jh7MIay63QajIjlxxwvsAk-CqERChsLNCmYI3zBuuO6dnFuq0FIDdhmjYcc4xOIshp1eX0kJrzjYDoxrmsZcwwOjnRSs5cxjmpZcDH6Xj72P29AGSAwPfUO6cgEWzIR710X88un8U13W1l61bSCvmhGGH2rq8U-XlkaTjHSf5tImy0JRcybWijV_NDbY0eWlwg6ZYbJZcoIZ1w-aIYCtQMwuGNnRccC0k73vVdu1TdE-vez5ap_rO-vZ_ui4tfpaH5Psq2nrOtN99vYywYr4h1rDnJKi8vqj8vROYiXQ_U8B7gmTnCN5gOYHhG_cfwWmFBOQN_GTRCCXFIAiikOr5RkRQpdJSiV4zOuwzTSXzecZg6edC-gW485iS\">invade South Ossetia<\/a>; then Putin up and \u201ctook\u201d Crimea, surely not because our Soros-sponsored operatives helped stage a Ukrainian coup against the Moscow-friendly government of Viktor Yanukovych, spurring a Crimean referendum that chose Russia. These events facilely enter the American lexicon as \u201cRussian aggression,\u201d such that right now Putin is about to \u201cinvade Ukraine\u201d <i>just because<\/i> and not because we\u2019ve been amping up Ukraine\u2019s war preparations, practically buzzing Russian planes, or going on fly-alongs with trespassing British ships (see the HMS \u201cDefender\u201d incident). That\u2019s without mentioning our performing military exercises on Putin\u2019s borders, stoking his neighbors\u2019 alienation of him, or liquidating nearby Yugoslavia, where America\u2019s second-largest from-scratch military base promptly went up..<\/p>\n<p>Provoke a reaction from the strawman, then start the clock for the public at the point of the reaction. It\u2019s our Yugoslavia M.O. again. Watch for acts of self-defense in the early days of the war to be used as retroactive proof of hostility, where it had been missing in \u201chacking\u201d; \u201cbounties on Americans in Afghanistan\u201d; \u201celection meddling\u201d; \u201celectric-grid tampering,\u201d and every other concoction against Russia that\u2019s fallen apart.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook what Russia is doing!\u201d we\u2019ll scream as we continue on with our gushing, unifying, politically correct hatred of Vlad the Paler and consume a glut of Russian-villain TV and film, instead of understanding that it\u2019s our government that\u2019s brought us to the brink of Armageddon. After all, if they can do to us what they\u2019ve been doing these past two years, why would we think they wouldn\u2019t subject us to potential thermonuclear war? Our expendability is now a known quantity.<\/p>\n<p>Is this where anyone thought we\u2019d be 15 years after Putin was on hand in Bayonne, New Jersey at the groundbreaking of the 100-foot September 11 monument that Russia gave us? \u201cIt is not every day that the president of Russia comes to visit a blue collar New Jersey town,\u201d the New York Times coverage read, \u201cbut here he was, Vladimir Putin . . . clasping hands with the mayor, and speaking of Russia\u2019s \u2018unity\u2019 with the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Even conservatives, usually more immune to propaganda, don\u2019t recognize they\u2019ve been conditioned by a protracted, skewed presentation of events. So Putin doesn\u2019t even get points for warning against Wokeism, nor for vocalizing that January 6 prisoners are victims of political persecution and reeducation? In case some do give him points, trusted luminaries such as <i>National Review<\/i> editor Rich Lowry are there to keep us on track to war. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/magazine\/2021\/12\/09\/vladimir-putin-shouldnt-be-a-right-wing-hero-524041\">Vladimir Putin Shouldn\u2019t Be a Right-Wing Hero<\/a>,\u201d read his headline in <i>Politico<\/i> last month. Russian-born libertarian columnist Cathy Young beat him to it in 2013 with the <i>Boston Globe<\/i> column \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/opinion\/2013\/08\/21\/putin-friend-gays-fit-ally-for-right\/i02pH9skFergvPtAW0GOVK\/story.html\">Vladimir Putin is no Ally for the Right<\/a>.\u201d At the same time, the Right\u2019s taunts that our effeminate military can\u2019t win wars have likely gotten under the skin of our military brass and given them something to prove. \u201cAnd what better way to do that than to kill people,\u201d Tucker Carlson recently quipped. Add our \u201cdangerously angry\u201d American public, and the pressure cooker needs a release. Russia is the proverbial It.<\/p>\n<p>So will the by-now anti-Russian Right unite behind Biden\u2019s America at war? Sure. They\u2019ll be glad to fit in for a moment with the lobotomized, left-molded mainstream, and show they can eschew partisanship when it\u2019s \u201ctruly important\u201d (watch for those op-eds), not stopping to question whether an administration that has all but dehumanized them is fighting a war for us, or for itself.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, a war with Russia would fix everything: show strength, distract, and unite. Russia makes for the perfect target: the public is already primed against it; there are no ethnic tripwires; and we\u2019re not economically dependent on it as with China. Which is why, as former Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe complained to Maria Bartiromo in late 2020, when he would brief Congress on election security threats posed by China, Russia and others, lawmakers would immediately start leaking just the Russia parts. And it\u2019s why Joint Chiefs Chairman General Mark Milley said in a 2015 interview, \u201cI consider Russia the number-one threat to the United States . . . Russia is the only country on earth that has the capability to destroy the United States of America. . . . China is not an enemy. They are . . . developing themselves into a great power.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As we know, in 2020 Milley phoned China behind President Trump\u2019s back, to reassure his counterpart that we weren\u2019t planning an attack. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to attack,\u201d he said, \u201cIt\u2019s not going to be a surprise.\u201d But China may have a surprise for <i>him<\/i>. The memory of China\u2019s NATO-bombed embassy in our last Eastern European war of convenience isn\u2019t so distant, so no doubt President Xi Jinping and Putin have gamed out what happens in the event of a NATO attack on Russia.

Last year, the all-mighty Pentagon formally admitted to the existence of UFOs, to their constant presence since the dawn of the nuclear age, and to their recent crescendo.
