US urges EU countries to take measures to prevent Russia from taking military action in Ukraine – NYT
American intelligence officials are warning allies that there is a short window of time to prevent Russia from taking military action in Ukraine. This is reported by The New York Times….
Avril D. Haines, the director of national intelligence, traveled to Brussels this week to brief NATO ambassadors about American intelligence on the situation and a possible Russian military intervention in Ukraine.
Haines called on European countries to work with the United States to develop a package of economic and military measures to deter Moscow.

trolling for an ‘incident’ so a ‘reaction’ can be done. yes, it is insane, but, then, what else can insane people do but speak/act insane.

Maybe the USA was born bad, just like its parent in the North Atlantic and its stringpuller in the Levant. Trying to make something low and reprehensible to appear good will corrupt one’s thinking, leaving one criminally insane, as are the members of the ruling classes (and their servants) of the USA, the UK, and Israel.
If you doubt that the USA, for example, was born bad, just consider some obvious defects in its holy scriptures. The Declaration of Independence insists that all humans are made equal and are endowed by a “Creator” with unalienable rights. Supposedly this is “self-evident”, but in reality, it’s self-evident that most humans are not equal in temperament, character, intelligence, and other criteria. Some are born utterly deficient in these terms, which implies that some are unfit by nature to lead and to rule. So there’s no equality of rights to lead or to rule.
Another problem with the DoI is that the doctrine of unalienable rights implies that all stabbings and shootings are assaults and batteries. Likewise, the doctrine means that all killings are murders. If you have an unalienable right to live, anyone who kills you, or tries to kill you, has committed a rights violation. The DoI asserts, in effect, that it would not matter if you were stabbed, shot, or killed while trying to kill your neighbor’s children. Your right to live cannot be separated or removed from you. This is the meaning of the phrase “certain unalienable Rights” cited as examples in the DoI. Now, we all know that by July 1776 the rebels had been attacking and killing British soldiers and loyalists for more than a year. Yet the DoI insists that those soldiers and loyalists had unalienable rights. It follows that the DoI condemend the rebels as criminals. So the author(s) and signers of the DoI were no better than any of the many unctuous hypocrites we encounter in public life today, too, yet Americans have long been told to honor and revere them. Can this be good for the sanity of children who are indoctrinated in the USA to be good little republicans?
Turning to the Constitution we find more astonishing falsehoods asserted with self-righteous pomposity. The preamble insists that “We the People…do ordain and establish this Constitution…”, but many people opposed that scribbling. Probably fewer than 1/2 of the population participated in ordaining or establishing the C. Surely none of the children took part, and no mother or father with a clear head would insist that a child has authority to choose its form of government or to establish a complicated foundational law for it. If the Hamiltonians had published a defensible preamble, they would have insisted that ‘We the qualified Adults…do ordain and establish this Constitution”. But that would have invited every literate person to demand that the ringleaders and hangers-on provide evidence of their alleged qualifications.
If you turn to Article VII, you find more blatant sophistry. The clause there pretends to state the law about “Ratification” and “Establishment” before both ratification and establishment. That’s a very clever trick, but expediency is no good excuse for it. Either the relevant points of law have a source outside the Consitution, or the C can’t be made into law at all. So A7 shouldn’t even have been included.
So here we are almost 250 years later on a planet much dominated by a greedy, cruel empire which has waged a long war against the world for basically its entire life. NATO is merely a symptom, and it does scant good to attack symptoms when pathogens remains alive and well.

An unprecedented military bloc of 30 full members and 40 (and growing) partners on all populated continents, one that brazenly boasts of being the world’s only nuclear as well as only military alliance, one that has waged unprovoked wars in three continents and is the foundation and pretext now for what for the world appears to be an impending nuclear conflict is hardly a minor blemish. Your critique of the U.S. constitution is an insightful one. I’d urge you to reconsider your dismissal of the threat posed by the U.S./UK-spawned NATO (North Atlantic Charter/North Atlantic Treaty Organization).
