Even though the deranged psychopathic entities in Washington, London and NATO, be they human and non-human, are doing their utmost to antagonise Russia and provoke another world war, it will not happen - although it may come very close to it.
America is terrified of its own pending total economic collapse and is doing its utmost to generate war fervour across Europe to deflect the dire issue of its awaited death as a super power. Hence NATO’s sabre rattling with war ‘games’ and stationing missile systems targeting Russia.
America is akin to a rabid dog frothing at the mouth entrapped in a cage balanced on the edge of a ravine. It will soon fall to its awaited and deserved death, but is trying its utmost to intoxicate its servile puppets in Europe to come to its aid. But that will not happen either.

A painfully long article by Catherine Brown, but interesting nevertheless. Even though I have not had the privilege or experience of visiting Russia as the author has, my understanding of the country from receiving daily Kremlin bulletins, and researching Putin’s past, coupled with my own intuition, is sufficient to inform me of the outright deception and fraud perpetrated by not only the political establishments in Britain and America, but also their respective mainstream corrupt harlot media. They are nothing but prostitutes and lunatics.
The Anglo-Americans blatantly demonise Russia, and Putin in particular, for no other reason because he is his own man and loves his country and people, and does everything to protect and ‘enhance’ them all. What he has done with Russia, by uplifting her and her people, is no less than short of a miracle. This is why London and Washington demonise him. They are jealous because of his enormous successes. They are jealous because he is loved by most of the people – in the West as well. They are jealous because Putin clamped down on Western multinationals raping Russia’s assets, and because they cannot ‘steal’ anymore, as they have done everywhere else in the world. They are jealous of Putin because of his high degree of integrity and sense of justice – of which Western leaders are totally devoid. They are jealous because Putin has brought religious harmony to the country, thereby helping to bring stability. And he has ‘effectively,’ single-handedly, re-established the Russian Orthodox Church, of which Russian people are deservedly very proud. Unlike his Western counterparts, Putin is spiritually oriented, and can freely walk amongst his people without dozens of bodyguards surrounding him. They demonise him because he is admired by most other leaders around the world. The list could go on, but I will leave it at that.

Virgil - That is a great help. Thank you! I was puzzling over the 'Kerry and NATO warn Russia over military acts in Syria' photo. At first and for several glances it looks like Kerry is giving an undiplomatic two-fingered 'up yours' to Lavrov.
I was puzzled, because there appears to be someone else’s hand merging with Kerry's. But then I suddenly realised that it is Kerry's whole hand. He is indicating with three fingers, (about something under discussion), and holding down his little finger with his thumb, thus emphasising the three fingers.

Felicity Arbuthnot is clearly an extreme right-wing nutter wanting to remain in the fundamentally criminally motivated EU. The EU is trying to establish itself as 'the' governing body of the whole of Europe, and announced that it will create its own standing army. That demonstrates everything what it is - corrupt to the core, screwing the citizens of every European country to finance their criminal enterprise. There are no benefits of belonging to the EU farce. And deranged people like Felicity Arbuthnot confirm the stupidity of belonging to a mafia-like organisation that is the EU.
It was significant that Switzerland, a few days ago, finally decided to cancel its consideration to join the EU. The British people will be financially better off by leaving that toxic body.

Virgil - Do you know the source of that photo, or an URL where the picture can be found?

As usual, this is American bloody-minded arrogance! It is high time 'psychopathic America' learnt that they are no longer the greatest power in the world. They may be exceptional, the most exceptionally stupid country on the planet.

Smoldering - In June 2011 the Queen gave her husband the title Lord High Admiral for his 90th birthday, according to the Wiki article: http://tinyurl.com/c9g3a6g .
But then royalty in every country bestows nonsense honours and titles on their respective spouses. When they parade like plushed-up turkeys at official engagements, bedecked with all their medals and, ahem, 'honours,' it gives the illusion of dignity and greatness. Take all their clothes off and curiously, they look like any other human being. Human beings are a curious species!

Fitzhenrymac - Some brain-dead elitists may wish for the return of the Commonwealth. But as an entity it is a dead duck, with due respect to dead ducks.
Yes, many so-called Commonwealth countries have moved on, some for the better, others have gone downhill by way of fraud and tyranny that they leaned from the psychopathic British.
The only offerings from Britain to the world are by way of deception, fraud and war - together with their psychopathic puppeteer cousins in the U.S. The whole world has had enough of all that. The times are now for a multipolar world, mutual respect and cooperation. ·

PS to the above. The latest news indicating that the EU's future is a 'no-go' area:
Switzerland withdraws longstanding application to join EU - http://tinyurl.com/hed2fcq

The EU, in its original concept of the 'Common Market,' was masterminded by a gang of elite psychopaths upon the basis of deception and fraud. The main character in England at the time was the Prime Minister, Edward Heath, a homosexual and paedophile. In a Radio 4 interview in 2004 he admitted that he lied to Parliament about the Common Market. It was an act of treason that was swept under the carpet.
Since the EU was fraudulently forged out of its original concept, it has never had its annual finances validated. Corruption is the name of the game. After John Major left Downing Street as Prime Minister he was given a top job by the EU big-wigs to clean up the EU's finances. He made a big show about it at the time: "I'm going to clean up Brussels' finances..."
Ho, ho... not so fast! A few years down the line he had procured for his wife a nice cushy well-paid job in the EU, and the same for his son. He never did 'clean up' Brussels finances - not one euro of it. And the EU’s finances have still not been approved.
Brussels officials are now perpetually running to the toilet with dysentery in the fear that Britain will vote 'OUT' and they will lose their illicit wages.
To be sure, when Britain does vote BREXIT it will create a domino effect across Europe, including France, Germany and many other countries.
A common market of goods and services is fine between nations, as Russia has with various countries. But the integration of government institutions and everything else is NOT the way to the future of a free people.
Therefore, enough is enough of the inbred corruption of the EU and close down the entire criminal shebang.
BREXIT is the only answer and solution!
