MOSCOW (Sputnik) – “Russia is too large and too responsible a country to initiate a third world war”, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday.
Read the article … (Translation is not accurate but the idea is creating some hope for the future. Once again, like during the Cuban Crisis in 1962, Russia takes steps to avoid a nuclear war.)

Comment: I would gladly agree with Mark Carney if his plan was not grounded in false and misleading propaganda and Europe’s aggressive desire to attack and destroy Russia. Provocations and attacks on Russia began in 1991 (after the collapse of Soviet Union) and (so far) consisted of seven phases:

Comment #1: For article 5 to be applied, it is important to establish who threw the first punch. The original aggressor cannot invoke Article 5. Only the original victim can and only if it is a member state of NATO. If it can be proven that Poland supported Ukrainian military in its war against Russia and then Russia destroyed Polish military, manufacturing, logistic, or intelligence facilities used by the Ukrainians in this war, then Poland is the aggressor and Russia is defending itself. The fact that Poland was helping and defending Ukraine does not matter because Ukraine is not a member of NATO. Hence, Article 5 does not apply.
Comment #2: Already in 1980s, we knew that one of Russia’s preferred routes for attacking western Europe would be through Scandinavian countries. In such case, Finland would be the first victim and could not stay neutral.

Comment: Thank you JP. A great episode and right on time. History tells us that Christianity was always becoming more popular during wars, periods of violence and moral collapse, and periods of Christian persecution.
Comment: I want to comment on Trump’s speech about “communism and socialism”. Trump seems very comfortable speaking to people who operate at his level and you can see it looking at their reactions. This, however, is not politics, this is called manipulation. It only works, when the listeners operate at or below the level of the speaker.
Now, on the topic: Communism and socialism are not the same thing. Socialism is a social and economic system in which people (at least in theory) are the beneficiaries. Communism is the power structure that allows this system to be implemented and controlled centrally. In essence, communism is the totalitarian and repressive power system, while socialism (in theory) protects the consumers. Capitalism, on the other hand, is a system that benefits private owners and investors at the expense of the consumers (the working class). Each system can be abused, and it happens more than often. Each system represses its opposition. Somehow, it always ends up that way.

“There is a campaign under way to essentially destroy the public education system along with every aspect of human life and attitudes and thought that involve social solidarity. It’s being done in all sorts of ways. One is simply by underfunding. So, if you can make the public schools really rotten, people will look for an alternative. Any service that’s going to be privatized, the first thing you do is make it malfunction so people can say, “We want to get rid of it. It’s not running. Let’s give it to Lockheed.” — Noam Chomsky, The Progressive Magazine, September 1999, p.37
