He’s the most worthy Nobel Peace Prize candidate never to be honored, passed over for war criminals like Obama. NYT editors mock credible journalism, proliferating the Big Lie about nonexistent “Russian aggression,” posing the greatest threat to US security. “It is undeniable that Russia has become openly aggressive under President Vladimir Putin, who has violated sovereign borders by annexing Crimea and stoking civil war in Ukraine,” they ranted. “A cease-fire in Ukraine was declared last year, but Russian forces still maintain a presence in eastern Ukraine, raising questions about whether Russia might try to extend its reach to the Baltic States.” Fact: No responsible editors would touch this rubbish. They’d forthrightly denounce it. Fact: It bears repeating. Putin is the world’s preeminent peacemaker - polar opposite Obama’s rage for endless premeditated wars of aggression, responsible for millions of deaths, countries raped, destroyed and pillaged, along with unspeakable human misery. Fact: Putin violated no sovereign borders of any country, nor does he intend to. No credible evidence suggests otherwise. Fact: Washington’s 2014 coup replaced Ukrainian democracy with illegitimate Nazi-infested putschists - waging naked aggression against their own people. Fact: Crimeans overwhelmingly voted by independently monitored referendum to rejoin Russia and correct an historic mistake. Putin forthrightly accommodated them. Fact: Russia has no military presence in eastern Ukraine, no intention “to extend its reach to the Baltic states.” Fact: Kiev systematically violated Minsk I and II ceasefire agreements, bearing full responsibility for continuing conflict - with full support and encouragement from Washington. What’s most important to report, NYT editors systematically suppress, substituting state- sponsored propaganda for real news, information and analysis. Readers are consistently lied to. Credibility isn’t The Times long suit - a longstanding mouthpiece for wealth, power and privilege exclusively, the public interest be damned. Increasing US-led NATO encroachment on Russia’s borders represents a major threat to world peace. Times editors got it backwards, accusing Moscow’s defensive missile systems of “threaten(ing) NATO’s military access to airspace in parts of Europe…” They irresponsibly bashed Putin’s vital anti-terrorist Syrian air campaign. They deplore peace and stability, in lockstep with US imperial lawlessness, its endless wars of aggression threatening humanity. They consistently blame Russia and other regime change targeted nations for America’s high crimes, pure evil on an unprecedented scale. Truth and full disclosure are systematically banned from its pages on issues mattering most. Managed news misinformation and Big Lies substitute. Stephen Lendman lives in Chicago.

The Baltic states have been under the Russian bootheel before, and if they fell under it again, it would be a failure of policy of the U.S. and NATO, simple as that. ;)
The Baltic states are not worth going to war with Russia over. "Failure" or not.
I knew a couple of girls from Lithuania when I lived in Chicago. Not sure exactly what they were into. As I recall, they were working in a restaurant as waitresses. But maybe that was the Polish girls. Kind of blurred on the memory. It's been a long time since I was there. And the meningitis hasn't helped at all. ;)
