>From this distance Putin is at least honourable if not heroic,
and Obama is a ridiculous Caligula-like petty tyrant.

Subject: [ufpj-activist] What is Putin thinking!

The media and politician propagandists in the US have much of the
population thoroughly confused about Russia and Putin. In reality, Putin is
acting quite rationally. Paul Craig Roberts explains this is what Putin
thinks:

"The Americans promised Gorbachev that they would not take NATO into
Eastern Europe, but the Americans did. The Americans withdrew from the ABM
Treaty, which prohibited escalating the arms race with anti-ballistic
missile systems. The Americans arranged with Poland to deploy
anti-ballistic missile bases on Poland’s border with Russia. The
Americans tell us the fantastic lie that the purpose of American missile
bases in Poland is to protect Europe from non-existent Iranian ICBMs. The
Americans change their war doctrine to elevate nuclear weapons from a
retaliatory deterrent to a pre-emptive first strike force. The Americans
pretend that this change in war doctrine is directed at terrorists, but we
know it is directed at Russia. The Americans have financed “color
revolutions” in Georgia and Ukraine and hope to do so in the Russian
Federation itself. The Americans support the terrorists in Chechnya. The
Americans trained and equipped the Georgian military and gave it the green
light to attack our peacekeepers in South Ossetia. The Americans have
financed the overthrow of the elected government in Ukraine and blame me
for the anxiety this caused among Crimeans who on their own volition fled
Ukraine and returned to Russia from whence they came. Even Gorbachev said
that Khrushchev should never have put Crimea into Ukraine. Solzhenitsyn
said that Lenin should not have put Russian provinces into eastern and
southern Ukraine. Now I have these Russian provinces agitating to return to
Russia, and the Americans are blaming me for the consequences of their own
reckless and irresponsible actions.

 "The Americans say I want to rebuild the Soviet Empire. Yet, the Americans
witnessed me depart from Georgia when I had this former Russian province in
my hands, thanks to the short-lived war instigated by the Americans.

 "There is no end to the American lies. I have done everything possible to
respond to provocations in a low-key reasonable manner, offering to work
things out diplomatically, as has my Foreign Minister Lavrov. But the
Americans continue to provoke and to hide their provocations behind lies.
The Americans brazenly bring to me a strategic threat in Ukraine. They
intend to put Ukraine in NATO, the purpose of which expired with the Soviet
collapse. They intend to put more missile bases on Russia’s borders,
and they intended to evict Russia from its Black Sea naval base, its warm
water port

 "Americans have no intention of working anything out. They intend to
subjugate Russia. Washington wants Russia powerless, surrounded with ABM
bases that degrade our strategic deterrent to uselessness. These Americans
will not work with me. They will not listen to me or to Russia’s
Foreign Minister. They only hear their own call for American hegemony over
the world. My only alternative is to prepare for war."
