Far and away, hegemon USA has been the world's leading state sponsor of terrorism more egregiously and over a longer duration than any other nation in world history.

According to US law, terrorism involves "violent acts or acts dangerous to human life…(that)  intimidate or coerce a civilian population…influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion…(and engage in) mass destruction."

The US Army's Operational Concept for Terrorism calls it "the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to attain goals that are political, religious, or ideological in nature…through intimidation, coercion, or instilling fear."

On April 4, 1967 in his Beyond Vietnam, A Time to Break the Silence address, Martin Luther King called the US "(t)he greatest purveyor of violence in the world."

It's beyond dispute that the US is an imperial state, a belligerent state, a gangster state, a totalitarian state, a debauched state, a surveillance state, a racist state, a fear-mongering/hate-mongering state — a state on a fast-track toward full-blown tyranny by eliminating what remains of greatly eroded freedoms.

Led by its criminal class, its war on humanity at home and worldwide is the greatest threat to its survival.

Other despotic regimes — past and present — pale by comparison.

Allegedly applying to nations that have "repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism," State Department designations omit the world's leading offender.

Nations included on its list are designated solely for being free from US control, not for any international crimes.

The current list includes nonbelligerent North Korea, Cuba, Iran and Syria.

The latter nation has been engaged in a life-and-death struggle against US-led NATO direct and proxy aggression since March 2011.

According to US MSM reports, puppet Zelensky urged the Biden regime to designate Russia a state sponsor of terrorism.

On March 1, former US State Department head of its counterterrorism finance and designations office, Jason Blazakis, said that designating Russia a state sponsor of terrorism would be "the ultimate sanction," adding:

"There is no anvil within the sanctions world as economically blunt as" this designation.

"Adding Russia to the…list would be the nuclear economic option," including against Vladimir Putin personally.

Will what never was done during the height of the Cold War against Soviet Russia happen now?

According to interventionist Blinken last month, the Biden regime is "look(ing) at everything."

If added to the list, removal won't come easily, perhaps only if pro-Western puppet rule replaces Russia's sovereign independence.

Dementia Joe's double reportedly expressed willingness to "explore a range of" options as part of the regime's sanctions and proxy hot war on Russia.

No decision on including the Russian Federation on the State Department's list was made so far.

Draconian steps against nations on it were already taken against Russia.

They include asset freezes, restricted or banned foreign aid, banned defense and other exports, secondary sanctions on refusenik nations, along with other political, economic and financial restrictions.

At this time, Russia is the world's most sanctioned country — mostly from US/Western sanctions war since Feb. 24.

Beyond what Blazakis suggested, the ultimate sanction would be East/West war.

If launched by hegemon USA-dominated NATO, the world community of nations and humanity would face the mother of all sanctions — possible nuclear armageddon and end of life on planet earth.

Is that where the US war party's megalomaniacal drive for unchallenged hegemony is heading things?

Has it already decided to cross a rubicon of no return?

Has this step already been taken — a formal announcement to come when nukes are launched?
