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.

The clique who have been running the US government for decades have become accustomed to threatening other nations with the ultimatum: “You’re either for us or against us”. Meaning “If you’re for us, you must unhesitatingly obey us. If you’re against us, we’ll bomb, invade, and punish you until you decide to be ‘for us'”. Today, the likelihood is that if this policy is pushed too far, countries will begin to say, “Very well – if you insist, we are against you”. Those countries will stick together, agree on policies, trade together, eschew the dollar and US financial organisations –… Read more »
I hope so, but nothing has yet stopped these evil individuals, because they are unfortunately also the wealthiest individuals, and they have always been able to hire (or else eliminate) enough agents in order to get done what they want done.
These cunts days are “OVER” you are sad to see !
Absolute lunacy!
I live in the UK and I don’t mind being barbecued if war breaks out, but I would like to go knowing that the US and it’s vassals ( UK included) are turned in to a pile of dust.
You wish, Kike, a preemptive advertisement for a false flag, Hey, F-Off !
Hahaha, isolate Russia because the corrupt to the core Washington cabal says so?
But of course…plenty of Yankee arse kissers around.
Do it. The whole world is waiting to see the US getting its McDonald’s fat ass handed to it.Sadly it will not happen since the Pantygone will inform the political trash that it cannot and will not fight this war. The Pantygone does not have the capabilities to fight this war.
The one and only state that has to be labelled ‘aggressor’ is the US of A!!!
