Keep Stacking

The most profound segment I've heard since JB and SFC started the Tuesday night discussion.

SFC takes the gloves off in this interview. He calls our leaders out for what they are.....

LIARS!!!!

I wonder if Sorass has any investments there.

And .. nary a 'peep' from John Kerry who appears to have had his wings 'clipped' after his meeting with Putin in May.

The mood in Europe is changing

Oskar Lafontaine is a major force in German politics. When he comes out swinging this way, you know something is changing.  

He has been an outsized figure in German politics since the mid-70s. He was chairman of the SPD (one of Germany’s two main parties) for four years, the SPD’s candidate for chancellor in 1990, minister of finance for two years, and then chairman of the Left party in the 2000s. He is married to Sarah Wagenknecht, political heavyweight, who is currently co-chairman of Left party.

So it caught people’s attention when he excoriated Ash Carter and Victoria Nuland on his Facebook page yesterday.

Lafontaine’s outburst came a day after his wife, Sarah Wagenknecht, blasted Merkel’s Russia policy in an interview on RT.  

Here is the full translation of the post:

“The US ‘Defense’ secretary, i.e., war minister is in Berlin.  He called on Europe to counter Russian ‘aggression’.  But in fact, it is US aggression which Europeans should be opposing.  

“The Grandmaster of US diplomacy, George Kennan described the eastward expansion of NATO as the biggest US foreign policy mistake since WW2, because it will lead to a new cold war.  

“The US diplomat Victoria Nuland said we have spent $5 billion to destabilize the Ukraine. They stoke the flames ever higher, and Europe pays for it with lower trade and lost jobs.

“Nuland says ‘F*ck the EU’. We need need an EU foreign policy that stops warmongering US imperialism.

“F*ck US imperialism!”

Well, not the Black Sea or the Kaliningrad area, where they were in a direct contact on the Soviet borders. There were several collisions between the Soviet and the U.S. military boats and ships, and sinking each other, and then pulling from the sea the "enemy" ... ;-) There was a fog, sometimes, and they just liked the chasing games. But then, during the Vietnam war, there was a period of -- a great tension, I would say. I was told, that their nuclear submarines were very close to the both U.S. coasts, and ready.

As for Czechoslovakia, it doesn't apply here, because it was an occupation, a direct violation of the Warsaw Pact Treaty, without any consent of the Czechoslovak government and the president of Czechoslovakia. It means, de facto, that the Soviet army presence in Czechoslovakia, and mainly on the borders with Austria and the West Germany, was illegal, as well as a direct military threat to NATO. It was the Soviet army, that was closing our borders with Austria and the West Germany, arresting the leaders of the Czechoslovak government and taking them to Moscow against their will. My brother served in the army that year, and these guys were standing with their hands up for several hours in front of the soviet tanks.... The Warsaw Treaty Agreement wasn't about anything like this, of course, even though Putin and others are trying to rewrite the history today, and bringing some new, legal aspects and explanations -- why they had to send the Brotherly Help. ;-)
