Excellent article, extremely well written as usual. It is indeed obvious that there has been an undeniable strong anti-Russia narrative being pushed in recent years. On the other hand, our history has been to attack "brown people" in 3rd world countries as George Carlin put it. The U.S. is completely safe from immediate effective counter attack from these countries, and these actions allow the U.S. to build and expand upon our all-so-necessary anti-American terrorists to fight and manipulate. Obviously these 3rd world attacks are not the same with Russia, so marching towards WWIII with Russia/China doesn't hold true to our recent past endeavors.
Nonetheless, the same military industrial suspects also benefit from another cold war with Russia, and who knows, maybe the longer term plan is ultimately WWIII. After all, it's obvious that the orchestrators, while arguably clever to whatever degree, do not rate high on the sanity scale.
