Today the US House passed what I consider to be one of the worst pieces of legislation ever.
H. Res. 758 was billed as a resolution “strongly condemning the actions of the Russian Federation, under President Vladimir Putin, which has carried out a policy of aggression against neighboring countries aimed at political and economic domination.”
In fact, the bill was 16 pages of war propaganda that should have made even neocons blush, if they were capable of such a thing.
These are the kinds of resolutions I have always watched closely in Congress, as what are billed as “harmless” statements of opinion often lead to sanctions and war. I remember in 1998 arguing strongly against the Iraq Liberation Act because, as I said at the time, I knew it would lead to war. -
I did not oppose the Act because I was an admirer of Saddam Hussein – just as now I am not an admirer of Putin or any foreign political leader – but rather because I knew then that another war against Iraq would not solve the problems and would probably make things worse. We all know what happened next.
That is why I can hardly believe they are getting away with it again, and this time with even higher stakes: provoking a war with Russia that could result in total destruction!
If anyone thinks I am exaggerating about how bad this resolution really is, let me just offer a few examples from the legislation itself:
The resolution (paragraph 3) accuses Russia of an invasion of Ukraine and condemns Russia’s violation of Ukrainian sovereignty. The statement is offered without any proof of such a thing.
Surely with our sophisticated satellites that can read a license plate from space we should have video and pictures of this Russian invasion. None have been offered.
As to Russia’s violation of Ukrainian sovereignty, why isn’t it a violation of Ukraine’s sovereignty for the US to participate in the overthrow of that country’s elected government as it did in February?
We have all heard the tapes of State Department officials plotting with the US Ambassador in Ukraine to overthrow the government. We heard US Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland bragging that the US spent $5 billion on regime change in Ukraine. Why is that OK?

Are you one of those "older white men" Malcolm? (LOL).
See? They want us divided. (Works very well, doesn't it?)
Oh, no!
EINSTEIN: Putin is challenging the Bretton-Woods Agreement, better known as the Federal Reserve enslavement act of 1947 (the same year the CIA was introduced). It's all about the mechanism for the pricing of energy that flows to Europe from Russia, as this keeps the central banking Ponzi scheme of the west going. The U.S. Congress is pi$$ed off with Putin for the same reason they were pi$$ed off with Saddam Hussein, Hugo Chavez, and Moamar Qadafi. Putin wants to price his energy in the currency of his choice, and not Congress. This is also why Congress and the Bank of England are very upset over this BRICS banking agreement: it threatens this desired scam of a one-world bank with a one-world currency, as well as a one-world government that is financed by a carbon tax system that taxes you exhaling carbon dioxide, the stuff that plants need for growth.

You're preaching to the choir mate. Your comment should be aimed at those less informed, but thanks anyway.
