AN SCRAMBLED AND AGITATED FLIGHT
What was the purpose of the CIA director’s
far-from-secret arrival in Moscow? Was it a warning or a plea for a respite?
By Sir Charlattam
The surprise arrival of a US C-17 ‘Globemaster III’ military aircraft in Russia is something few had anticipated. We know full well that the discreet channels of communication between Washington and Moscow despite the war in Ukraine have never been severed; consequently, the fact that such a far from discreet aircraft was flying over Moscow, carrying none other than the head of the CIA, suggests something very urgent. There could be several possible issues that compelled CIA Director John Ratcliffe himself to get involved in person. From the situation in Ukraine and the complicated situation in the Strait of Hormuz to the FSB’s dismantling of conspiratorial and terrorist networks within Russia, any of these could have prompted this trip.
It must have been something momentous for Trump to
commission a Russophobic thug like Ratcliffe who is known to say that as many
Russians as possible should be killed and to this end he directs covert
operations on Ukrainian territory, from where, with the unfailing cooperation
of the MI6 lads, terrorist attacks are launched against Russian towns and
cities using FP1, FP2 drones and Storm Shadow missiles.
Putin is, of course, well aware of this man’s
character and behaviour, but he has no need to be discourteous. The
intelligence that the Russian President demonstrates in the exercise of his
office far surpasses that of a government agency head with a trigger-happy
mentality; nevertheless, it is the message that matters, not the messenger. And
that is what mattered about Ratcliffe’s presence: a thug who has risen to his
current position by killing Iraqis and Afghans is not a very pleasant prospect
to face. He is merely the errand boy for the ‘orange bloke’ in the White House
and nothing more; so what was this supposedly urgent message he was carrying?
Let us start with the fact that Vladimir Putin did not
receive him. It is not his place to do so for the simple reason that he is a
head of state devoted to matters within his remit, and for that purpose he has
his own intelligence chief, Sergey Naryshkin, in charge of the SVR, who is
sufficiently qualified to handle the matter. Nevertheless, reliable sources
report that those who received the surprise guest were third-tier FSB officials
such as Ivan Tkatchev and the head of the Fifth Directorate, Alexei Komkov, who
accorded him the level of attention that might be expected for another
intelligence official. If the visit was intended to intimidate Moscow, as
pro-Washington media outlets such as POLITICO.COM have suggested, they do not
seem to have realised that such tactics which were frequently employed by
militant Zionists within the Democratic Party who supported Obama and Biden,
such as the intrepid Victoria Nuland have already been tried and failed.
Perhaps we should also ask ourselves: was this trip
planned? Or was something about to happen that was so imminent and dangerous to
US interests in Europe that it forced the CIA director himself to go and stop
what was about to happen? Contrary to what the mainstream media outlets
answerable to the Anglo-American Establishment such as the WSJ, Axios, CNN, the
BBC, etc. are reporting about a trip intended to warn Putin, the motivation may
in fact have been quite the opposite. It appears that Washington ordered Kiev
to halt the missile and drone attacks on the Baltic states’ border due to the
imminent visit by US officials.
At the same time, the Russians were informed of the
event, so all they can do is wait. Vladimir Putin and his security and
intelligence cabinet have had enough of the double standards of their Western
partners, and in particular of his counterpart Donald Trump, who has already
far surpassed Joe Biden in terms of dirty and harmful manoeuvres against the
Russian Federation.
At the same time, Trump is well aware of the British
manoeuvres and, although he knows how to feign ignorance, the extent of his
continued involvement in the financing of arms and equipment for the neo-Nazi
regime in Kiev in which London acts as an intermediary cannot be concealed. The
declaration of war by Prime Minister Burnham’s new Labour government leaves no
room for doubt on this matter, and Putin’s warnings that he would teach a
lesson to those who have been active instigators of terrorist violence against
Russian citizens were already taking shape and would be carried out with
devastating force against one or perhaps several targets of significance to
Britain.
Some speculate that this was a desperate visit
following confirmation that Moscow was prepared to deal a devastating blow to
US assets operating both in Ukraine and across Europe. Others suggest that this
risky journey on a military aircraft departing from Riga at a time when the
entire region is a theatre of operations was intended to avert a lethal
retaliation against London, or even to warn Moscow of a looming (unauthorised)
British provocation, thereby enabling them to abort it.
As for retaliation, let us rule out the much-discussed
nuclear attack, as that would not only be senseless but would also mark the
beginning of the end and nobody wants that. No. What Putin may well have
ordered is to give British politicians and officials in Vauxhall a taste of
their own medicine a move which, as well as being lethal, would leave the fledgling
government of that loudmouth Andy Burnham in a very bad light, given that he so
blithely declared war on Russia.
Perhaps you’re wondering: why would Washington get
involved in the matter if Trump says he has nothing to do with NATO or with
those ungrateful Britons who didn’t support them over the situation in the
Strait of Hormuz? We know full well that Trump, as well as being a pathological
liar, is merely a loud-mouthed puppet, a pawn of the American Establishment;
consequently, what he says carries very little weight.
From what we have heard, Ratcliffe’s efforts have come
to nothing, as several sites linked to industry and underground facilities on
the outskirts of London have been blown up or have been the scene of mysterious
large-scale fires, which the British authorities have been unable to prevent.
It remains to be seen what far-fetched excuses will be come up with to explain
all this.
