    From a historical standpoint the US and its Allies have been threatening Russia for more than 104 years starting during World War I with the deployment of US and Allied Forces against Soviet Russia on January 12, 1918 (in support of Russia’s Imperial Army).

    The 1918 US-UK Allied invasion of Russia is a landmark in Russian History, often mistakenly portrayed as being part of a Civil War.

    It lasted for more than two years involving the deployment of more than 200,000 troops of which 11,000 were from the US, 59,000 from the UK. Japan which was an Ally of Britain and America during World War I dispatched 70,000 troops.

    The Threat of Nuclear War

    The US threat of nuclear war against Russia was formulated more than 76 years ago in September 1945, when the US and the Soviet Union were allies. It consisted in a “World War III Blueprint” of nuclear war against the USSR, targeting 66 cities with more than 200 atomic bombs. This diabolical project under the Manhattan Project was instrumental in triggering the Cold War and the nuclear arms race. (See analysis below).

    Chronology

    1918-1920: The first US and allied forces led war against Soviet Russia with more than 10 countries sending troops to fight alongside the White Imperial Russian army. This happened exactly two months after the October Revolution, on January 12, 1918, and it lasted until the early 2020s.

    The Manhattan Project initiated in 1939, with the participation of the UK and Canada. Development of Atomic Bomb.

    Operation Barbarossa, June 1941. Nazi Invasion of the Soviet Union. Standard Oil of New Jersey was selling oil to Nazi Germany.

    February 1945: The Yalta Conference. The meeting of Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin.

    “Operation Unthinkable”: A Secret attack plan against the Soviet Union formulated by Winston Churchill in the immediate wake of the Yalta conference. It was scrapped in June 1945.

    April 12, 1945: The Potsdam Conference. President Harry Truman and Prime Minister Winston Churchill approve the atomic bombing of Japan.

    September 15, 1945: A World War III Scenario formulated by the US War Department: A plan to bomb 66 cities of the Soviet Union with 204 atomic bombs, when the US and USSR were allies. The Secret plan (declassified) formulated during WWII, released less than two weeks after the official end of WWII on September 2, 1945.

    1949: The Soviet Union announces the testing of its nuclear bomb.

    Post Cold War Doctrine: “Preemptive Nuclear War”

    The Doctrine of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD) of the Cold War Era no longer prevails. It was replaced at the outset of the George W. Bush Administration with the Doctrine of Preemptive Nuclear War, namely the use of nuclear weapons as a means of “self-defense” against both nuclear and non-nuclear weapons states.

    In early 2002, the text of George W. Bush’s Nuclear Posture Review had already been leaked, several months prior to the release of the September 2002 National Security Strategy (NSS) which defined, “Preemption” as:

    “the anticipatory use of force in the face of an imminent attack”.

    Namely as an act of war on the grounds of self-defense.

    The MAD doctrine was scrapped. The 2001 Nuclear Posture Review not only redefined the use of nuclear weapons, so-called tactical nuclear weapons or bunker buster bombs (mini-nukes) could henceforth be used in the conventional war theater without the authorization of the Commander in Chief, namely the President of the United States..

    Seven countries were identified in the 2001 NPR (adopted in 2002) as potential targets for a preemptive nuclear attack.

    Discussing “requirements for nuclear strike capabilities,” the report lists Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, and Syria as “among the countries that could be involved in immediate, potential, or unexpected contingencies.” …

    Three of these countries (Iraq, Libya and Syria) have since then been the object of US-led wars. The 2002 NPR also confirmed continued nuclear war preparations against China and Russia.

    “The Bush review also indicates that the United States should be prepared to use nuclear weapons against China, citing “the combination of China’s still developing strategic objectives and its ongoing modernization of its nuclear and non-nuclear forces.”

    “Finally, although the review repeats Bush administration assertions that Russia is no longer an enemy, it says the United States must be prepared for nuclear contingencies with Russia and notes that, if “U.S. relations with Russia significantly worsen in the future, the U.S. may need to revise its nuclear force levels and posture.” Ultimately, the review concludes that nuclear conflict with Russia is “plausible” but “not expected.” (Arms Control) emphasis added.

    Nuclear War Against Both China and Russia Is Contemplated

    Russia is tagged as “Plausible” but “Not Expected”. That was back in 2002.

    Today at the height of the Ukraine crisis, a Preemptive Nuclear attack against Russia is on the drawing of the Pentagon. That does not however mean that it will be implemented.

    A nuclear war cannot be Won?

    We recall Reagan’s historic statement: “A nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought. The only value in our two nations possessing nuclear weapons is to make sure they will never be used.”

    Nonetheless, there are voices within the US establishment that are convinced that “a nuclear war is winnable”.

    Flashback to World War II: “Operation Barbarossa”

    There is ample evidence that both the US and its British ally were intent upon Nazi Germany winning the war on the Eastern Front with a view to destroying the Soviet Union:

    “Stalin and his entourage’s growing suspicions, that the Anglo-American powers hoped the Nazi-Soviet War would last for years, were based on well-founded concerns. This desire had already been expressed in part by Harry S. Truman, future US president, hours after the Wehrmacht had invaded the Soviet Union.

    Truman, then a US Senator, said he wanted to see the Soviets and Germans “kill as many as possible” between themselves, an attitude which the New York Times later called “a firm policy”. The Times had previously published Truman’s remarks on 24 June 1941, and as a result his views would most likely not have escaped the Soviets’ attention. (Shane Quinn, Global Research, March 2022)

    Hitler’s Operation Barbarossa initiated in June 1941 would have failed from the very outset had it not been for the support of Standard Oil of New Jersey (owned by the Rockefellers) which routinely delivered ample supplies of oil to the Third Reich. While Germany was able to transform coal into fuel, this synthetic production was insufficient. Moreover, Romania’s Ploesti oil resources (under Nazi control until 1944) were minimal. Nazi Germany largely depended on oil shipments from US Standard Oil.

    Trading with the Enemy legislation (1917) officially implemented following America’s entry into World War II did not prevent Standard Oil of New Jersey from selling oil to Nazi Germany. This despite the Senate 1942 investigation of US Standard Oil.

    While direct US oil shipments were curtailed, Standard Oil would sell US oil through third countries. US oil was shipped to occupied France through Switzerland, and from France it was shipped to Germany:

    “… for the duration of the Second World War, Standard Oil, under deals Teagle had overseen, continued to supply Nazi Germany with oil. The shipments went through Spain, Vichy France’s colonies in the West Indies, and Switzerland.”

    Without those oil shipments instrumented by Standard Oil and the Rockefellers, Nazi Germany would not have been able to implement its military agenda. Without fuel, the Third Reich’s eastern front under Operation Barbarossa would most probably not have taken place, saving millions of lives. The Western front including the military occupation of France, Belgium and The Netherlands would no doubt also have been affected.

    The USSR actually won the war against Nazi Germany, with 27 million deaths, which in part resulted from the blatant violation of Trading with the Enemy by Standard Oil.

    “Operation Unthinkable”: A World War III Scenario Formulated During World War II

    A World War III scenario against the Soviet Union had already been envisaged in early 1945, under what was called Operation Unthinkable, to be launched prior to the official end of World War II on September 2, 1945.

    Robbo203 – I get item 2 on the exclusion list but item 1 ‘individuals who belong to organised religions’ is pretty nebulous. What defines a member of an organised religion? Regular attendance at church, synagogue, mosque, temple, chapel? Weekly, daily, occasionally? Having a shrine in the back bedroom? Putting this in a box is not going to be easy so a more specific definition is needed in order to avoid any misinterpretation.

    In principle I agree with you about religion – let it be private and have no place in socialist discussion and practice as long as it does not impinge on our human rights and freedom of expression/speech.

    So, let me get this right – as far as 'Russia dis it!' SS has joined the MSM bandwaggon by condemning before the investigation is completed? With Porton Down's director flatly contradicting the lies of the baffoon Johnson and the police refusing to comment the SS has sided with some NATO/EU countries who believe that Russia is guilty until proven guilty – or not – whatever, you know they did it!Always thought we were above such stuff.

    Hi Robbo, I suggested looking at the Steemit.com platform as one popular example of what can be done with the blockchain technology – it is not just crypto. Steemit is an all-in-one social media blogging, etc platform. As things move forward we'll see entire design/production/distribution systems built on the technology. So much more efficient than existing methods. I wish I could help other 'laymen' out there but as one myself I can only suggest that a bit of on-line searching will bring in plenty to interest and intrigue. Crypto is just one small, highly publisised and, by the establishment, hated, aspect of what will/is coming with this technology.

    The drivel that passes for serious comment on cryto-currency and the Blockchain in particular seems never ending. That the US immediately banned the Venezuelan crypto should tell you all you need to know – they fear it. Porno on the Bitcoin blockchain is a total joke, have you tried to make a transaction recently? The constsnt attacks on crypto and Bitcoin in particular have failed to crack its underlying value to users. You want to launder drug money – use the banks. You want to watch porn use DVDs or the internet or join a club. You want to sexually abuse children join the police or get in to politics! Porno (or just about anything else) on different blockchains is/will definitely happen. To get some idea of the future have a look at where the Steemit project is going. In the future the world, including a socialist world, is going to run on blockchains. If you think the wheel, internet or the invention of god were a big deal then you are in for shock in the relatively short term as this technology mushrooms/explodes. Yes, they'll even design, build, fly, target and drone us using AI machines created and 'living' on the Blockchain!

     Could be a problem on your FB account. That said FB, Youtube, Twitter are in a censoring frenzy right now and are taking down pages and accounts of any person or organisation or group that is dissenting from mainstream/government line. Usually they warn you though so it's probably your account. Not savvy enough to advise you though. A

    Good morning Comrades, Below is an 'as is' translation of the intro (Turkish to English does not translate word for word or phrase for phrase. It’s not the UK that comes to mind in the first place when we are talking about socialism and communism. But still, this small island kingdom, has an important meaning for the history of socialism. Even though the Victorian era is named as the “liberal age” some of the most significant events in the history of world socialism (including the publishing of the first volume of “Das Kapital” some 150 years ago, in 1867) has taken place in Victorian Britain.Socialist politicians, especially those radicals, they never managed to get into power in the political arena of the kingdom. But the UK, once, being the most advanced capitalist country, and the country where workers were the most conscious of all of the working class among all, was the center of anticipation among the world Marxists, where the social revolution was expected to take place.Even though the Victorian emperorship did not grant a citizenship to this world renown socialist philosopher, presented a hometown for almost 35 years. We may not be sure if Karl Marx was as kind and polite a person as was depicted in Assassins Creed Syndicate, but we are certain that he is one of the few people who have influenced world history as much.The significance of 2017 is not solely being the 150th year of the first publishing of Das Kapital. Previous November was the 100th anniversary of the Bolshevik revolution. In the memory of these two important dates, I decided to make an interview with one of the socialist parties in the kingdom.The great Britain Socialist Party, founded in 1904 (Socialist Party of Great Britain) has a significant role in the socialist movement in the UK. This party, without a leader and with a lateral organisational structure, also has ideas related to the world socialism and collective ownerhip. Members of this party claim that real socialism has never been practiced in any country yet, and those countries that declare themselves as socialist are in fact enforcing state capitalism somehow. Party, more than 100 years ago, was formed by the forerunning members of Social Democratic Federation (among which there was the daughter of Karl Marx, Eleanor Marx), but has opposing ideas to this movement, as being reformist and mild. In this issue, you will be reading my interview with Adam Buick of The Great Britain Socialist Party.

    I split the interview into two basic parts, first being those matters relating to socialism and UK politics, second part relates to questions on 1917 Bolshevik Revolution. Cutting short, I now leave it to Adam Buick…
