In the face of an overall frenzy of flight forward provocations coming from Washington, London and NATO, Russia’s President Putin addressed the Russian people — and the world — on April 21, in a speech described accurately in the western press as conveying a “stern warning.”  However, the Fake News media did not present the whole picture, and provided nothing of the context for the speech: the sanctions policy, which is disrupting economies, causing famine and death in targeted countries; western sponsorship of regime change coups and Color Revolutions; and continuing wars, and military exercises, aimed at especially containing Russia and China.  It is essential that Biden’s team take this speech seriously, and accept Putin’s offer to convene a summit of the Permanent 5 Members of the U.N. Security Council, before the world is plunged into catastrophe.
