Senate Bill\u00a0S. 2277<\/a>\u00a0is sponsored by 26 Republicans and no Democrats, and it would give President Obama the virtually unlimited authority to take U.S. to war against Russia in defense of the Ukrainian Government that Obama’s February 2014 coup<\/a> established in Ukraine, the government that’s controlled by a coalition of one fascist party and two nazi (or racist-fascist) parties in northwest Ukraine<\/a>. (Southeast Ukraine isn’t represented in the coalition;\u00a0southeast Ukraine<\/a>\u00a0had\u00a0voted overwhelmingly — and you can see the exact percentages here<\/a>\u00a0— for the President that Obama\u2019s coup toppled in February 2014.)<\/p>\n Paul Roderick Gregory headlined at the Forbes<\/em> site on October 10th, “A Republican Senate Can Help Send U.S. Weapons to Ukraine,”<\/a> and he condemned Obama for backing off on Ukraine, and said:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n “I recently gave\u00a0five compelling reasons\u00a0for U.S. lethal aid to Ukraine, and I explained why inaction on Ukraine\u00a0threatens\u00a0the destruction of NATO\u00a0as we know it. The American establishment elite have increasingly\u00a0concluded the same: that we must give Ukraine the means to defend itself\u00a0against Russian aggression. Add\u00a0former defense secretary and CIA head,\u00a0Leon Panetta, to a long list of diplomats (Mike\u00a0McFaul, Strobe\u00a0Talbot),\u00a0generals (Martin\u00a0Dempsey, Philip\u00a0Breedlove\u00a0et al.), congressmen and senators (Ben Nelson, Sander Levin, Jim\u00a0Gerlach, Gerland Connoly, Robert Menendez, Bob Corker, to\u00a0name just a few) who disagree with the president\u00a0on Ukraine.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The regime that\u00a0Obama imposed on Ukraine, after his coup<\/a>, is heavily\u00a0racist-fascist<\/a>, or nazi.\u00a0Here<\/a>\u00a0are the Obama-coup-regime\u2019s supporters, and you can see their\u00a0nazi symbols and Hitlerite militarism<\/a>, which is based upon the pro-Nazi movement in Ukraine during World War II, the movement that had supported the Babi Yar massacre of Jews and that is even more passionately hostile toward ethnic Russians than toward Jews. And\u00a0here you see these people proudly mass-murdering ethnic Russians<\/a>, whom they hate — just trying to kill as many of the residents there as they can. Obama needs that done because the people in this region, southeastern Ukraine, had (as that map<\/a> shows) voted over 90% for the man whom Obama’s mercenaries had overthrown on 22 February 2014. If they remain alive, and inside Ukraine, then Obama’s imposed leaders won’t survive any election that’s held throughout all regions of Ukraine. This is why the Obama regime in Ukraine has been massacring the residents in the ethnic-Russian areas in Ukraine’s southeast<\/a>. The United States has sponsored this ethnic-cleansing operation in order to mass-murder the residents in Ukraine’s southeast, precisely so as to get rid of them. This statement is\u00a0not hyperbole<\/a>: Barack Obama is the very first President in U.S. history who\u00a0has installed, in any foreign nation, a nazi, or racist-fascist, regime<\/a>.\u00a0As you can see, their most devoted battalions don\u2019t even try to hide it: some of them proudly display their pictures of Hitler<\/a>, even though they are Ukrainians, not Germans, themselves. These are the most devoted troops in Ukraine, on Obama\u2019s side in the civil war that Obama caused. But congressional Republicans want him to give the matter even higher priority, and more resources, than he now is.<\/p>\n Furthermore, NATO has been\u00a0gearing up for a nuclear war, a pre-emptive nuclear attack against Russia<\/a>, supposedly to defend this new regime. But, actually, one of the main reasons for the overthrow was to establish in Ukraine a missile-base against Russia — it was to help prepare for our nuclear attack. Republicans in the Senate support our bringing Ukraine into NATO, which is the reason for this Republican bill, which is currently bottled up in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee but will become passed into law and signed by the President if Republicans win back control of the Senate in this year’s elections.<\/p>\n Although no Democrat has officially co-sponsored this bill, the leader of the Committee that is considering it is Democrat Robert Menendez, and he has very actively spoken and written in support of it; he just doesn\u2019t have the guts publicly to come out as a Republican. He\u2019s like Obama: he built his following among Democrats and cannot afford to go public with his extreme conservatism.<\/p>\n I have written a lot about Obama\u2019s strategy,\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0here<\/a>, but a recent report at Global Research, by Professor Michael Chossudovsky, is even more alarming:\u00a0“Dangerous Crossroads: US-NATO to Deploy Troops, Conduct Large Scale Naval Exercises against ‘Unnamed Enemy.'”<\/a>\u00a0He quotes the veteran writer on nuclear war, Steven Starr as saying, “Any US-Russian war is likely to quickly escalate into a nuclear war,” and Starr explains why this is a far more dangerous situation than any that existed during the Cold War, except possibly the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.<\/p>\n Ironically, the only way that Obama can be restrained on this planned attack would be if the U.S. Senate remains under Democratic control, because Obama is pursuing here a longstanding Republican foreign policy, of asserting “nuclear supremacy,” to win<\/em> \u00a0a nuclear conflict against Russia (originally against the Soviet Union).<\/p>\n At present, this bill is considered extremely unlikely to pass in the Senate<\/a>, but if Republicans take the Senate, then it almost certainly will pass next year, because both houses of Congress will then be controlled by the Republican Party.<\/p>\n Right now, President Obama wants to cool things in his Ukrainian civil war, because of the more-pressing and far more real threat to U.S. national security in the Middle East. But this lull in the Ukrainian conflict could turn out to be temporary if things become stabilized regarding ISIS.<\/p>\n So, if the Republicans win control of the U.S. Senate this November, then we’ll quite possibly have a nuclear war against Russia, because Republicans certainly want it, and so does Obama (and Senator Menendez), and Obama will therefore have the congressional funding to\u00a0prepare the attack<\/a> that both he and Republicans, and even at least one other \u2018Democrat\u2019 than Obama, apparently want and have been preparing.<\/p>\n ———-<\/p>\n Investigative historian Eric Zuesse is the author, most recently, of They\u2019re Not Even Close: The Democratic vs. Republican Economic Records, 1910-2010<\/em><\/a>,<\/em> and of \u00a0CHRIST\u2019S VENTRILOQUISTS: The Event that Created Christianity<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Eric Zuesse Senate Bill\u00a0S. 2277\u00a0is sponsored by 26 Republicans and no Democrats, and it would give President Obama the virtually unlimited authority to take U.S. to war against Russia in defense of the Ukrainian Government that Obama’s February 2014 coup established in Ukraine, the government that’s controlled by a coalition of one fascist party and […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1254,"featured_media":175183,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[461],"tags":[115,32,29,535,59,540,524,523,76,40],"class_list":{"0":"post-140936","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-editorials","8":"tag-barack-obama","9":"tag-cia","10":"tag-democrats","11":"tag-global-news","12":"tag-military","13":"tag-republicans","14":"tag-russia","15":"tag-ukraine","16":"tag-warfare","17":"tag-white-house"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140936","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1254"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=140936"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140936\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140936"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140936"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/rinf.com\/alt-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140936"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
