The current president of the United States intends to install intermediate-range nuclear missiles in the United Kingdom, and while simultaneously agreeing with Angela Merkel to impose new sanctions on Russia, he calls for the British prime minister to not allow his country to leave the European Union.

The emperor has spoken and given orders to his subjects, which continue to be the same ones that, here and there, try to disguise this fact. The case of the German chancellor is flagrant: After pretending to have her own policy in regard to Moscow, she has just explained that her position on the issue is that of the Americans, and that’s that — even though she’s been mocked by simple officials in Washington with regard to Ukraine, but that’s over with. Apologies accepted, everything has been forgotten.

Moscow has let it be known that it is “closely” following these movements. It’s natural, as they are all directed, in the first and last analysis, against Russia — particularly because the lies used at times by Washington, according to which the installation of “defensive” military equipment in Eastern Europe was intended to threaten Iran, became useless. The U.S. and the regime in Tehran will sign an agreement within a few days whose main strategic objective for the Pentagon is to free up its hands more in the Middle East in order to reinforce the level of threats against China and Russia. This is what is happening under our noses.

The installation of intermediate-range nuclear missiles in the United Kingdom, directed at Russia, will make Moscow respond in kind with arms faced “at us.” It’s a step back into the past in the episodes of the arms race, a return to the Cold War, which, never having really ended, is being reactivated upon a world full of hot wars.
