Storm Shadow Missiles Are the Straw that breaks the Camel’s Back – paulcraigroberts.org
Paul Craig Roberts
As I prepare for a hit from a major hurricane, the damage and inconvenience of which will be extraordinary, I can’t help but to see the hurricane as almost inconsequential in comparison to NATO’s response to the Russian government’s warning that NATO missiles fired into Russia will receive a military response that can include nuclear weapons.
Did Washington and NATO withdraw their threats to attack Russia with Storm Shadow missiles? No. The imbeciles announced war mobilization drills.
This is insanity.
Why are there no voices speaking against the West’s provocation of nuclear war?
How can anyone think protecting Ukraine’s artificial borders is worth the massive destruction of Europe and the United States?
Why are there not tens of millions of people in the streets in Europe, England, and the US?
This is a level of insouciance and denial of reality that stuns even me.
The Western world is already deep into collapse. War with Russia will complete the collapse of the Western world. https://drsircus.com/world-news/politics/its-a-sad-day/

Ahh. Stupidity can out maneuver intelligence so often.
Maybe the next world will be intelligent!
That is as optimistic as Tubularsock can get this late to the party.
