NATO’s strategic aim is to conquer Russia and use its resources to dictate economic terms to an emasculated China. If NATO can crack Russia’s Western wall and bottle up the South China Sea, NATO will be well on the way to winning this global war, not least because those two victories will resonate globally.

It is to hasten that victory that French dictator Macron is threatening to massively up the ante in Ukraine and why the United States has the mad dogs of the Baltics barking their rabid, little heads off. Far from being a thorn in Russia’s side, its Western Borderlands are fast becoming a problem that needs a major response to put to rights. That response has to come from the barrels of Russian guns, missiles and drones.

Though Putin, Lavrov and the rest of them must be gone hoarse whilst trying to talk softly and keeping Russia’s big sticks sheathed, talking has not worked and will not work until Russia’s big guns join the conversation.

Let’s look at some facts. The Vatican and all NATO’s other useful idiots relentlessly insist Ukraine did not provoke Russia. Fair enough, but let the Vatican explain, in simple English, Italian or Russian why so many Russian speakers were murdered in the Borderlands before Russia intervened and, while they are at it, let them give us a ballpark figure (to the nearest million) on how many Russian speakers, nuns and priests included, should be murdered before the Russian Armed Forces saddle up.

Next, let them explain why Ukraine’s NATO backers built so many formidable fortifications within shelling distance of the Borderlands’ main towns and why so many of the “freedom fighters” Russia captured in Mariupol were covered head to foot in Nazi tattoos. Let them also tell us what role Nazi ideology played in the warped minds of these Borderlands’ patriots.

Next, let them tell us what happened to the Minsk Accord. Let them tell us in simple Russian, English or Italian why France and Germany not only reneged on that deal but never had any intention of honouring it.

And then there are atrocities like Bucha. Let them talk us through it a step at a time to determine who did it. And who did Nord Stream. And why Germany, which has gone from peace dove to war hawk in the blink of an eye, was not bothered seeing its future prosperity destroyed by that monumental act of terrorism.

Cui bono? Who benefits from all that criminality and from the bio labs and scam centres the business partners of Hunter and Joe Biden ran in the Borderlands? We are all ears.

While Russia waits for the answers to those and a million other pertinent questions, Russia, China, Yemen and Iran should get busy building their own fact factories and publishing their findings in Russian, English, Italian or any other language that takes their fancy.

They could start off by getting Londoner Robert Stuart to detail his work on the BBC’s false claims of chemical attacks in Syria by the heroes of the Syrian Arab Army. Because Stuart’s forensic refutation of the BBC’s charges is the most thorough debunking of any false flag I have ever seen, it should be on all relevant university courses in Yemen, Russia, China and Iran as a template on how to tackle lies like Bucha and Minsk.

Russia and allied countries must get their relevant faculties to churn out such facts on such singularities, from the alleged abduction of children by arch NATO nemesis Putin to Russian Buddhists and Muslims running amok in the Borderlands just for the hell of it.

Having set up their fact factories, these allies must tackle the problem of broadcasting those facts to the world. The sad reality here is that almost all Russian and Iranian residents cannot even begin to envisage how pervasive is the censorship within NATO’s ambit. It is a tough nut to crack, assuming it is a nut worth cracking in the first place.

That leads us onto this recent SCF editorial, which bemoaned NATO muzzling former U.S. marine Scott Ritter (and, as Defense Politics Asia explains, many others). Ritter, as he explains himself, was low hanging fruit and, though he was part of this orchard which contained three SCF contributors (Crooke, Escobar and van der Ende) as well as some obvious North American grifters, NATO’s key target was Judge Andrew Napolitano, who is a world class interviewer.

The problem with Brits like Russell Brand and Yankees like Napolitano and Tucker Carlson is that, because they are good at their job, they might open the eyes of others to NATO’s ongoing crimes. Much the same goes for outgoing MEPs Clare Daly and Mick Wallace, who have been called all the names under the sun for not being fully on board with all of the various genocides NATO is currently conducting.

But Russia’s western Borderlands is not an Oxford Union or EU chamber debate. It is a killing field, which NATO is using to trouser hundreds of billions of dollars in Russian assets and to use as a launching pad to bomb Moscow, St Petersburg and all other Russian cities, whose very existence upsets their sensibilities.

Although Dmitry Medvedev has spelled out the lengths Russia is prepared to go to to secure her western flank, his statement is necessarily short of detail on what Russia can and must do not only in the Borderlands but further afield as well.

The first thing Russia must do is decide on a division of labour with China, Iran, North Korea, Yemen and non-government actors in West Asia, Africa and Micronesia. The major problem here is that not only are alliances of equals or near equals difficult vehicles to put on the road, but this is patently obvious when countries’ strategic objectives are as divergent as are those of China, India, Russia and the others.

Subject to those caveats, Russia and China should contract North Korea to massively ramp up arms’ production, and Russia should consider joining the Chinese navy in sailing past Zamboanga and perhaps having live fire exercise off the French neo-colonies of Mayottte, Bougainville, the Comoros, New Caledonia, Madagascar and perhaps emulating NATO by surreptitiously bestowing manpads, RPGs and drones, for defensive purposes only, to the moderate Kanak freedom fighters, as well as the Houthis and others with a dog in this and related fights.

Although I have no wish to see China and/or Russia increase tensions in Mindanao and the Sulu Islands, NATO, as it prepares for its Paris Olympics and November U.S. Presidential elections, is giving them few other viable options to argue their case. Though China thinks she can sit this one out by doing little more than intimidating the people of the Philippines, she is like the smug pig in the abattoir who cannot see that she is next to have her throat slit.

If Russia’s modus operandi is that it fights locally in the Borderlands and thinks globally, China’s is that it refuses to put its shoulder, in the form of the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army, to the wheel. And, although China has long been in conversations with Russia, that is all they are, as Finian Cunningham’s recent Myanmar article shows, conversions, all sound and fury, signifying very little. If China will not get its hands dirty to keep Myanmar and its adjoining sea lanes free, what will they do besides sell their crap to the world? Perhaps they expect Russia to save Myanmar. Who is to know with these inscrutable jokers?

Though Russia, China and the others have much to talk about, they have much to do as well. Although China is still the sleeping giant Napoleon claimed it was, it seems she is still prepared to doze away until her turn comes to be skewered. Although nobody expects China to shake the world outside out of field and track in the Paris Olympics, she could at least help Russia cut Little Napoleon Macron down to size by steering her navy away from the Sulus and towards worthier French, German and ANZAC targets, which act as cover for American aggression from Russia’s Borderlands to the volatile border China shares with Myanmar and onwards to the little island republics and French dominions that speckle the South Pacific, as well as other future battlegrounds where the French flag still forlornly flutters.
