It comes down to the central bankers' industrial warfare model...

Editor's note: ...of commerce going after Russia's massive resources like gold, silver, energy (coal, gas and oil), timber, iron ore, diamonds (industrial uses), uranium (8 percent of world's uranium resources), rare earths (3.8 million metric tons), agricultural land, fish production, water resources and minerals all worth an estimated $75 to $125 trillion USD (speculative). Central bankers' 10th Commandment prerogative: You Shall Covet as they play one country off against another. Western central banks and US oligarchs want these resources as Europe economically collapses. For psychopaths like neocon US Senator Graham war is their holy grail guide. This is also going to be a war between BRICS and the western central bank rentier class financially pillaging respective countries. It now appears Vladimir Putin, in a "harsh talk" told President Trump in their 3 July discussion over Ukraine either "Trump removes Zelensky or Russia will by military means." Another aspect in this continued commercial proxy war against Russia is to depopulate Ukraine leaving its resources to western commercial corporate predation. Escalation continues as Russia's former president Dmitry Medvedev allegedly told Vladamir Putin to "strike the US now while he still can." Everywhere in the news there are constant reports of different countries feeding more weapons and equipment into Ukraine including Mexican mercenaries. Think of Dmitry Medvedev as Russia's "Lindsey Graham" only far more sophisticated. Graham is the US-based military-industrial complex's poster boy. One of the components of Europe and western central banks moving respective European countries towards war with Russia is to initiate a new monetary system implementing their long sought after goal of implementing CBDCs (see linked video discussion below).

World War mastermind: Here's America's most dangerous person [Neocon]

Lindsey Graham's insatiable bloodlust helps propel the world to move beyond a US-centric world order

By Tarik Cyril Amar | July 19, 2025

Lindsey Graham is at it again: The long-serving – if increasingly embattled – senator from South Carolina has produced an especially aggressive as well as hysterical statement. This time, he has, in essence, threatened Russia with US bombing in a little less than two months from now.

If you know Graham's record, then that may appear insane but also sort of unremarkable, because that's just choleric, red-faced Lindsey having a normal rant. Yet there are reasons not to dismiss this particular tantrum too quickly. Even though Graham is probably too busy foaming at the mouth to notice, his latest hissy fit is unintentionally revealing.

For one thing, there's a whiff of panic about this outburst. And Graham does have reasons to feel less than comfortable. For starters, as noted above, his seat in the Senate is anything but secure, with Graham facing what The Independent has called a "daunting challenge" coming up next year. Then, Graham will have to defend his seat – which he has held since 2003 – in midterms that could go badly for him.

His current approval rating in his home state is a squalid 34 percent. America’s MAGA base is, at best, ambiguous about the aging opportunist from South Carolina. That means that the most dangerous challengers to Graham are not Democrats but fellow Republicans who point out his very real selfishness and bottomless unreliability. President Donald Trump, it is true, has occasionally said a nice thing or two about Graham, but he has been at least equally friendly about one of his Republican challengers, businessman Andre Bauer.

One thing that voters at home hold against Graham is his prominent and extremely bellicose commitment to what most of us on planet Earth would call US imperialism but what Americans prefer to think of as "globalism." That is what Bauer is going after, for instance. And for good reason: There really is no war of aggression, economic warfare campaign, information war drive, or lawfare offensive that the decidedly un-martial-looking Graham is not wildly, almost erotically enthusiastic about.

Graham loved the 2003 Iraq War, for instance, so much that even when he finally came to admit that it was based on "faulty intelligence" – a lie to cover for a lie, by the way: in reality, the war was based on deliberate deception – he still insisted it could have been worth it, as long as Iraq would turn into "a democracy." That that is certainly not a thing the Iraqis could possibly learn from the American plutocracy, is a thought too honest to even cross Graham's mind.

And, of course, Graham has always been a fervent, passionate, steamy Russophobe. Indeed, there is a way in which Moscow should be grateful for Graham. Like his European equivalent Kaja Kallas, the South Carolina senator is walking proof that the only thing that can, ultimately, secure Russia against Western warmongers in all-too-high places is military strength, including nuclear deterrence.

Indeed, Graham is so obsessed with sticking it to the Russians that his latest fetish is to not only assault Moscow but everyone who has any dealings with it. The most important aspect of the uber sanctions bill lovingly put together by Graham and his Democratic fellow traveler Senator Richard Blumenthal is the plan to "impose a 500 percent tariff on imported goods from countries that buy Russian oil, gas, uranium and other products."

NATO Plans to Send 250K Troops Into Russia; WWIII is Coming with Martin Armstrong | Daily Pulse Ep 69:

If the western central bankers behind NATO want war with Russia those 250,000 troops are going to get obliterated. Ukraine is gone. It's over but NATO backed by the US and the UK are not going to stop. Circumstances in Ukraine are so out of control, deplorable and disgusting Ukrainian soldiers are defecting to Russia, they are being rearmed and trained and are preparing to take Kiev. It is fairly certain that if NATO projects 250,000 NATO soldiers into Russia the Russians will level NATO headquarters in Brussels, Belgium. President Charles de Gaulle was absolutely correct for withdrawing from NATO's integrated military command in 1966 with France's little Rothschild Napolean Macron reversing France's participation.
