There can no longer be much doubt that the West is fighting a proxy war with Russia. The goal is not simply to defend Ukraine’s territory and safeguard its sovereignty, but to “see Russia weakened” – in the words of U.S. defence secretary Lloyd Austin (a former board member of Raytheon Technologies).
In a previous post, I reported what the former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO said in a recent interview with the New York Times: “I think we are in a proxy war with Russia. We are using the Ukrainians as our proxy forces”. Since then, several U.S. politicians have confirmed this is a proxy war.
On 2nd May, Democratic Congressman Jason Crow tweeted: “The United States is not interested in stalemates. We are not interested in going back to the status quo. The United States is in this to win it and we will stand with Ukraine until victory is won.”
Speaking to Fox News on May 6th, Democratic Congressman Seth Moulton explained: “At the end of the day, we’ve got to realise we’re at war. And we’re not just at war to support Ukraine. We’re fundamentally at war – although somewhat through a proxy – with Russia. And it’s important that we win.”
Then on May 11th, Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw tweeted, in defence of his decision to approve the latest $40 billion aid package: “Yeah, because investing in the destruction of our adversary’s military, without losing a single American troop, strikes me as a good idea. You should feel the same.”
This has very serious implications. If the West’s aim is to “see Russia weakened”, that means prolonging the war, rather than finding a diplomatic solution as soon as possible. It means more lives lost, more buildings reduced to rubble, and more chances for accidents or missteps that lead to nuclear escalation.
Even the ‘mainstream’ media is waking up. Yesterday, the New York Times ran a piece arguing that “the United States and its allies have greatly increased the danger of an even larger conflict”. The author observing, “Indefinite protraction of the war, as in Syria, is too dangerous with nuclear-armed participants.”
And the Washington Post ran a similar piece. Noting the West’s approach “may carry extraordinary, underappreciated risk”, the authors warn that “Putin could turn to unconventional weapons, including low-yield nuclear weapons, to stave off defeat”.
The fact that influential newspapers like the New York Times and the Washington Post are airing scepticism about the West’s increasingly reckless approach is, of course, welcome. But is it too late to avoid a protracted war?

There are great similarities with how the majority of the public have swallowed the MSM Ukraine narrative like they did with covid. How easy it is for the MSM to manipulate the British people – what suckers! They just cannot see that most of the time the MSM and the deep state are in bed together.
Ukraine: The Nexus of Cognitive Warfare – Narratives to dateUkraine is the frontline in the battle for minds, including yours.
https://veryslowthinking.substack.com/p/ukraine-the-nexus-of-cognitive-warfare
I wouldn’t think that this is news to any moderately intelligent individual.
They certainly would not believe the version of events put forward by western governments, the MSM and Ukraine’s corrupt president. It is far more nuanced than that.
I’m certainly not a Putin apologist, but anyone who believes that all Ukrainians wear white cowboy hats and all Russians black cowboy hats is extremely naive.
I am a retired nurse practitioner. No military background whatsoever. How did I know from the beginning of the proxy war it was a proxy war? I read alternative papers, witnessed the comedienne in Ukrainia dress in a costume of Green each day, and watch that “bad guy” actor play his part in this made for tv drama. I have been to Russia, the Russians like their leader. Loads of Ukrainians living in the USA. They are a bit unusual, but probably more like Russians than Americans. So, a war between the two countries does not make sense, despite the best efforts of NATO with Joe Biden’s $$$support to inflame the battle. Good to see all the Ukrainia flags flown high in the UK😂😂😂😂 what a joke. A country (UK) where they don’t even fly their own flag proudly!
in the beginning people were understandably shocked by what looked like an unprovoked attack of evil Russia on peaceful Ukraine, but by spending a bit of time any sane person with half a brain can see that it is very far from what people in the west are lead to believe by their government and the pre$$.
Yes, everyone who opposes the brutal Russian invasion of Ukraine is insane or mentally deficient.
Where is the Soviet Union and its renowned psychiatric internment camps when you need it…?
all wars and invasions are bad, i don’t think anyone here would think otherwise. But comparing to Iraq (and many other examples) Russia had more reasons to invade than US/NATO especially that it was part of the plan of the US/NATO from the very beginning, Russia just decided to strike first. Wars and conflicts are bad, but they happened and they will happen.
So, a war between the two countries does not make sense
So I presume you are doing everything you can to persuade the Putin regime to withdraw its mass murdering and destroying forces from Ukraine;
You say you don’t live in Russia (rather the USA), so at least you can carry out your anti-invasion campaign without facing up to 15 years in prison (or worse).
and now you’re going to get executed in Ukraine for voicing pro-russian views, how about that?
Also, remember the lady who appeared on the state Russian TV in prime time with anti war sign? Is she in prison? Dead? No, she is in Germany after paying some fine.
Sad to say, but the way our western leaders behave Trudeau and the like I want to see Russia win. If the US Canada and U.K. believe they will win they will simply increase restrictions on us. They need toppled, and voting doesn’t work, look at Trump who lost, Trudeau and Aherne who won. Non of this madness will stop until democrats are out, if they ever will be out.
What a truly stupid comment: Trudeau is awful, therefore I’ll support someone far, far worse. The logic of the lunatic.
Convenient to forget that Trudeau illegally froze peoples bank accounts, that No unvacced can leave Canada. That Australia constructed Covid camps. That the non vacced were threatened with being excluded from society by one Mr Gove, without one word of condemnation from our elected leaders. That the Ukraine was not going to join EU or NATO. That we are not deliberately prolonging the war, at the cost of the destruction of the Ukraine. You believe in the multi party democracy…well that’s working isn’t it! Before you can export democracy you must practise it. What we have now is lunacy.
Putin is far worse than Trudeau. If you think otherwise you are deluded.
You believe that there are more restrictions in the multi-party liberal democratic US, UK and Canada (under all leaders apart from Donald Trump) than those imposed by the current totalitarian-fascist Russian regime –
Where all serious political and media opposition is met with intimidation, firing from jobs, imprisonment (up to 15 years for daring to question the current brutal assault on Ukraine) or assassination?
It’s a proxy war with China, not Russia.
Yes, this speech by Liz Truss at Easter made that point clearly…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6FQ9VNeG4s
“Liz Truss, UK foreign secretary, has warned China to learn lessons from the west’s robust economic response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, saying Beijing will face consequences if it does not “play by the rules”.
We need a global NATO. By that I don’t mean extending the membership to those from other regions. I mean that NATO must have a global outlook, ready to tackle global threats.
We need to pre-empt threats in the Indo-Pacific, working with our allies like Japan and Australia to ensure the Pacific is protected. And we must ensure that democracies like Taiwan are able to defend themselves.”
All the world then has to submit to NATO and their ‘rules’..or else…but hey that’s not threatening in the least…….
The rules Liz Truss was referring to were not NATO’s but the near universally accepted ones precluding one nation militarily conquering another for imperial purposes – eg Russia invading Ukraine or China invading Taiwan (which though in reality an entirely independent country is not widely acknowledged as a nation state to avoid hurting the poor Chinese regime’s sensitive feelings).
Everything else in her speech was about joint military defence against the above two fascistic countries’ expansionist agendas, so the exact opposite of ‘submitting to NATO’.
“Russia invading Ukraine, or China invading Taiwan”…Hahaha priceless..
because no one else, particularly Western countries have ever invaded a sovereign country…no never!! Hahahah
Have you just woken up after being asleep for the last fifty years???
Why has the Daily Sceptic turned into an anti-Western echo chamber? Why are Putin and Xi spared the paranoid scepticism that is focused instead on the leaders of the societies that tolerate such seditious free speech?
Just the same thick argument used by idiots who call people anti-vaxxers when they ask a pertinent question about the vaccines, or who deviate from the sheepy MSM Covid narrative…..
I would suggest if you actually had a point about Putin or Xi we could be just as sceptical as required.
Just the same thick argument used by idiots
Resorting to ad homs usually reveals a fatal weakness in any position (as well as being straightforwardly wrong).
I would suggest if you actually had a point about Putin or Xi we could be just as sceptical as required.
No personal points, but the current Russian and Chinese regimes are brutal, totalitarian, ultra-nationalist / fascist, anti-democratic and expansionist ones which silence all serious opposition through intimidation, internment and murder.
And in the case of Russia a government which is currently engaging in an orgy of destruction and killing in Ukraine on completely deceitful pretexts.
As well as threatening to wipe out all of humanity through initiating nuclear armageddon if anyone dares to stand in its way.
I look forward to hearing the scepticism you promised…
Now do the UK backed murdering Saudis in Yemen with as much vitriol….
Yawn. Noah’s obsession yet again makes him Putin’s friend. Does Noah deny that the West is REACTING to Russia’s aggression?
I can’t wait for Noah’s next article, condemning Finland for threatening Russia by joining NATO.
I wish Noah would just naff off to Moscow and be done with it.
You are NIna Jankowicz and I claim my ten pound prize. Thank goodness for people like Noah and this site…(exactly why are you here?)…which allows people to have a different view and opinion from the sheep and the MSM……
and, which the history over the last two years shows, we were correct to question.
You are Putin’s Useful Idiot: claim your ten roubles.
nah I’m not…that’s not it is it? It’s just that you’re trying to make a decidedly financially dodgy bloke, and his corrupt country into something they’re not…(this in no way excuses Putin’s invasion) and if we don’t play along..take him as our Lord And Saviour, and polish up the bunting you don’t like it. I’m looking forward to the day the MSM write about him, as they were doing pre-2022….I hope it won’t come as an awful shock!!
If an aggressor is launching death and destruction on a neighbouring country, isn’t it normal and logical to want to weaken the aggressor?
Not to want to do that would be the disreputable thing in my opinion.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.
yeah, good idea if you don’t care about the country you’re trying to protect. read history books and see what normally happens to countries used as proxies.
It’s a shame the obvious is invisible until the establishment media sees it.
The mental midgets ruling over us think they can control a virus and control the climate.
If they don’t back off antagonizing Russia they will be in for a huge shock.
Many of us have been saying much the same since the start.
it’s Russia, it’s not right what is happening in Ukraine but by propping up Ukraine with western support more people will die for no real reason.
anyone interested in stopping this mess would let Ukraine fall to Russia and while sanctioning Russia.
Ukraines neighbours are NATO affiliated so Russia must stop there.
if they don’t they get our full might, not propping up of these states that can’t fight a nuclear super power.
when winter comes WE all will feel the full impact of Ukraine not shipping its grain, no animal feed, no grain to sow the fields, the poorest nations will suffer most.
covid impacts like lockdowns where bad, loss of vital supplies from Ukraine that propped up many of the worlds agriculture will be worse.
Admitting the blatantly obvious takes no courage.
Sometimes it does. Look at Covid. The awfulness of concerted government response throughout the world is clear, yet after two years, the establishment media continue to persist in not seeing it.
Now Russia is becoming an underdog fighting US/NATO goliath on it’s own.
Daily Sceptics were also known as conspiracy theorists when we said vax injuries are real, amongst many other things we were proven right about.
A little known fact.
Putins ‘invasion’ of Ukraine is a legal intervention in a growing threat to Russian security. It’s supported by the UN.
“before sending in the tanks– Putin invoked United Nations Article 51 which provides a legal justification for military intervention. Here’s an excerpt from an article by former weapons inspector Scott Ritter who defended the Russian action like this:
“Russian President Vladimir Putin, citing Article 51 as his authority, ordered what he called a “special military operation”….
under Article 51, there can be no doubt as to the legitimacy of Russia’s contention that the Russian-speaking population of the Donbass had been subjected to a brutal eight-year-long bombardment that had killed thousands of people.… Moreover, Russia claims to have documentary proof that the Ukrainian Army was preparing for a massive military incursion into the Donbass which was pre-empted by the Russian-led “special military operation.” [OSCE figures show an increase of government shelling of the area in the days before Russia moved in.]” (Mike Whitney. The Unz Review. May 12, 2022)
Putin can quote UN text all he likes, but that doesn’t mean the UN agrees with him.
So they don’t agree with their own rhetoric? How odd
Lukewarm thinks the UN approved the invasion.
He’s dim.
I don’t think you can call anyone dim, with your past and present record.
Try arguing facts instead of feelings, you might almost win one.
So to clarify, you also think the UN approved of Putin’s war?
This is one of those things you call – ‘facts’?
Do you also have difficulty reading?
“Putin invoked United Nations Article 51”
This is an article of the UN is it not?
So yes, factually correct.
I never mentioned anything about the UN agreeing with it, that was you.
You are yet to provide any “facts” so don’t get childish because you can’t argue a single, simple point.
Where are the UN by the way? I thought they had “peace keeping forces” nowhere to be seen, weird.
Come on Super. You’re worth more than this.
He read out the article. So what? I can read out the article and then go attack my next door neighbour.
Nothing to do with the UN.
“Nothing to do with the UN”
Wrong again!
https://lieber.westpoint.edu/russia-special-military-operation-claimed-right-self-defense/
I’ve picked the well known pro Russian institute of West Point (where they train US officers) to prove you wrong, again.
Article 51 was invoked for the reason why Russia moved on Ukraine, it was voted down because of a breach of UN Charter Article 2(4)
You can’t argue with facts.
“He read out the article. So what? I can read out the article and then go attack my next door neighbour”
What on earth has that got to do with UN articles?
Are you under the impression that your link supports Putin?
You need to read the whole thing: ‘The Russian justification for military action against Ukraine is without any basis in international law’
He invoked Article 51 incorrectly and got nowhere with it.
What gives you the impression I support anyone?
I’ve been clear on this issue multiple times, so we can add memory loss to your long list of imperfections.
I have read the whole thing, and it proves the fact that Putin did indeed invoke article 51.
Clearly it didn’t wash with the UN council.
So why do you think Russia decided to take military action against Ukraine?
OK Super, I don’t know where you think you’re going with this one. You obviously thought that article supported your point of view, because you only read the start.
Let’s try again: did Putin have UN approval for his invasion.
Yes or no?
Did Putin need UN approval? No
Did the UN vote for approval? No
Did I say they didn’t, or did you ask my opinion on the matter? No
Did Putin invoke article 51 for his reason of action? Yes
Did the UN cite article 2(4) as the reason for a breach? Yes
Did I state that Putin invoked article 51? Yes
Did you go off on a tirade when I proved you wrong, again? Yes
All facts.
And your point is?
Now you answer my question,
So why do you think Russia decided to take military action against Ukraine?
I didn’t think anyone could manage to jump in on RedHot’s thread and make it even less coherent.
Putin attempted to invoke Article 51 but failed, so his invasion remained unjustified under UN rules.
He invaded because he thought it would be easy and relatively costless.
What is incoherent about it?
I simply added clarification that article 51 was invoked, not my fault you got confused.
“He invaded because he thought it would be easy and relatively costless”
That’s a vague and spurious statement, what would be easy and relatively costless, fighting a vast country with Western backing?
That makes no sense. Try again.
I said he that’s what he thought. But he was wrong.
Why do you think he invaded?
He invaded, legitimately, to save tens of thousands of lives dummy. Or isn’t that good enough for you?
“I said he that’s what he thought. But he was wrong”
In English?
So why do you think Putin went into Ukraine? Because as I have already stated, your previous vague answer makes no logical sense. Try again.
Putin didn’t attempt to invoke Article 51, he did invoke it. The vote against it makes no difference whatsoever to the legality of his actions as they conform precisely with the Article.
You really are as dumb as they come Fingers.
It wasn’t his decision you dumbass!
And no his actions don’t fit the terms, which was why they rejected it.
No, it’s not his choice. It’s his OBLIGATION, as it is any UN members OBLIGATION to go to the aid of victims of violence.
But no other member of the UN offered to help Donbass. Not one other UN member state moved to fulfil their OBLIGATION to save lives.
Not that you would know anything about obligation.
“You can see that by the time Putin invaded Ukraine, the war had already begun. The shelling of ethnic Russians had already intensified by many orders of magnitude. People were being slaughtered in droves, and tens of thousands of refugees were fleeing across the border into Russia. And, all of this had been going on since the 16th of February, a full week before Russia crossed the border. (Moon of Alabama has compiled the data on the bombardment that took place in the Donbas preceding the invasion: “The February 15 report of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine recorded some 41 explosions in the ceasefire areas. This increased to 76 explosions on Feb 16, 316 on Feb 17, 654 on Feb 18, 1413 on Feb 19, a total of 2026 of Feb 20 and 21 and 1484 on Feb 22.”)
So, why does the media keep repeating the lie that Russia started the war when it is clearly false?
The fact is, Putin sent in the troops to put out a fire not to start one. If ever there was a situation where the Responsibility To Protect (R2P) could be justified, it’s in east Ukraine prior to the invasion.… Read more »
To repeat just for you LukeWarm, Putin did not have UN support. His reference to Article 51 was unsuccessful because it didn’t meet the terms.
Separately, the whole UN assembly voted to demand Putin’s withdrawal from Ukraine.
The UN decided whether he meets the terms, not you.
It is a matter of observable and legal fact that Putin did comply with article 51.
I repeat:
“nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defense… ” And this right of self-defense has been interpreted to permit countries to respond, not only to actual armed attacks, but also to the threat of imminent attack.” (Abbreviated, my emphasis).
Clearly this passage is beyond your sick, twisted tiny mind.
Russia is a member of the UN. It conformed to Article 51 and went to the assistance of victims of a founder member of the UN – in 1945 as the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
Doubtless you’ll use the weird excuse that Ukraine has since left the USSR and so no longer need conform to The UN’s rules. But it retained its seat after it became independent so, like Russia before Putin, still conforms to the agreements under the UN.
In other words, it’s not allowed to attack other countries, nor is it allowed to attack it’s own people. If it does either then there is a legitimate reason for another member, acting independently or collectively, to act in the victims defence.
This isn’t subject to… Read more »
“You obviously thought that article supported your point of view, because you only read the start”
You clearly are a special kind of idiot if you think I picked that article because it was going to “support” my point of view. Whatever that means. I picked an article from West Point, clearly the US military academy, which was highly unlikely to support any anti US rhetoric.
Of which I read the whole thing, and it contained the information that you didn’t understand.
I like the way you edited your post, after I had already responded, nice try.
Donetsk and Luhansk
There is no way that Russia will allow the Kiev regime, backed or not backed by US air power, to retake the whole of Donetsk and Luhansk. As for invading and conquering Crimea, so that the US navy can sail into Sevastopol, the Black Sea having become a US lake, nope – that’s not going to happen either.
Finland
During the Soviet period (this changed afterwards, in 1992 to be precise), the idea of Finnish neutrality meant that Finland would not allow either US or Soviet warplanes to fly over Finnish territory and would shoot them down if they tried it.
Finland in NATO means US warplanes flying up and down the 800-mile Finnish-Russian border. Compare with German forces crossing the Rhine in 1936. This is all about pushing a potential NATO-Russian front past Sweden, all the way across Finland. It would be a very scary development and let us still hope at this late hour that it doesn’t happen.
If it does, there will be a Russian response…

Starving American Babies Disguise Selves As Ukrainian Soldiers In Hopes Of Getting $40 Billion In Federal Aid
Yeah, and proxy wars have always worked out sooooo well in the last 75 years…
I can see why Trump wants a new broom in their party to sweep out many of the bad old ideas of the Cold War that are still dictating US foreign policy as well as all the globalist woke cr@p.
Crenshaw has been taken in by the neoCons. And he was one of the better new crop of GOP politicians to come to the fore over the last 5 years.
The opinion of at least one scholar, and a former US govt. official is that Putin is using Ukraine as an opportunity to kibosh the World Economic Forum (WEF). Western globalists know it, and don’t like it.
Putin is re establishing ‘the state’ as an instrument of Democracy in Russia. Without a state there can be no Democracy. Industry in a Democratic state is subordinate to the state. The west is turning into, a technocratic state, which is a fancy name for fascism on steroids, the state subordinate to industry, as per WEF and Bill Gates’ desires.
There is logic behind this. Ukraine is the global centre for money laundering of arms, drugs, human trafficking etc. conducted by US/Russian/Ukrainian oligarchs. We note Putin hasn’t said much about Russian oligarchs being marginalised by the west with their yachts etc. unlawfully confiscated. The theory is he’s glad to see the back of them.
If Putin stops the eastward march of neocon controlled NATO he essentially breaks the back of the concept of a global government and destroys the means and the will of the WEF to implement it.
Whilst some sort of global reset might be useful for the US and the… Read more »
So your argument is….Putin is a democrat.
Yes!
How can he be, he’s not an American resident, or hadn’t you noticed, silly.
As for Russia being a Democracy:
“The 1993 Russian constitution declares Russia to be a “democratic federal law-bound State with a republican form of government”. Thus, it is considered to be a democracy.” (The Analyst)
Any more stupid comments you would like to contribute Fingers?
1993 is pre Putin.
Surely, even you can’t imagine Russia has free and fair elections?
No tinkering with the constitution so Putin can stay in charge for instance?
Go and find it revoked somewhere. 🤡
The US Constitution was created long before Biden became POTUS. 🤡
“Putin’s 83% public approval rating proves that the Russian people understand what he is doing and fully support him. ”
Find it and provide the evidence before making more of your fantasy allegations.

Please. Just emigrate.
You can vote for him yourself.
Not that ‘clumsy’ RHS..have read all of this elsewhere and this seems a pretty clear interpretation.
It is the necessary illustration of reality and it will become more stark and apparent as millions die through hunger and cold during next winter. Perhaps at some point there will be a challenge or reckoning. I am inclined to think that with the masses glued to phones that no one will even acknowledge the suffering around them. And thus we end up with a bleak and desolate world of our own creation.
“Joe Biden and the U.S. Congress have sent so much military aid to Ukraine that our country, the United States, is running out of weapons. According to Bloomberg, “Pentagon officials say that Kyiv is blowing through a week’s worth of deliveries of anti-tank munitions every day. It’s also running short of usable aircraft as Russian airstrikes and combat losses take their toll. Ammunition has become scarce in Mariupol and other areas in Ukraine. This is presenting Western countries with a stark choice between pouring more supplies into Ukraine or husbanding finite capabilities they may need for their own defense.”
That’s the line “they may need for their own defense.” It’s a scary world and if you blow it all on Ukraine with finite resources, which we have, sorry, where does that leave you? Undefended. ”

The Mujahideen didn’t use much of the arms sent to them by America to fight the USSR in Afghanistan. Instead they stockpiled it to turn on the Americans when they turned up.
“We will continue to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian”
Interesting how the girls aren’t here. War must be a manly man’s thing.
Anyway, I don’t know what threat the Russians are – Putin ordered them all to be vaccinated, so they’ll all be having heart attacks, strokes, Bell’s Palsy and hepatitis, won’t they? And Lord knows what the nanobots will do to ’em!
Any idea what Nano means?
Your dick. 🤣
Sorry, couldn’t resist it.
You let it rest. You assumed that the external and the verified represented truth. Maybe it worked well in times of prosperity. You need to give yourself a shake and understand that in our islands we are moving far away from prosperity. Do you have it in your genetic inheritance to remember how to fight and survive in difficult times. Because we shall soon find out.

FRENCH VOLUNTEER, OUTRAGED BY LIES OF WESTERN MEDIA, REVEALED TRUTH ABOUT WAR CRIMES IN UKRAINE
“Azov fighters are everywhere. With neo-Nazi stripes. It shocks me that Europe supplies weapons to neo-Nazis. The symbols of the SS are embroidered everywhere on their uniforms. They not hide their views. They advertise them. I worked with these people and treated them. They openly say that they are ready to destroy blacks and Jews,” he added.

And then one Christmas morning, confirmation. You discover they’ve forgotten to buy you presents, any presents. They were busy and it just slipped their mind.

Guess what? Bill Gates has just launched a synthetic baby formula.

Thx for the quote/transcript.
It is my impression that the loathing of the British ruling class towards Russia is only superficially understood if at all. Rudolf Steiner talked about it over a hundred years ago in his lectures on the lodges of Europe. Anyone who is familiar with the great Russian novelists of the nineteenth century will understand the influence of freemasonry in Russia at that time. Steiner said that the average Englishman would have no problem whatsoever living alongside his European brothers. And as well as the war of the brotherhoods that persists to this day there is the relationship between the Roman and Russian church and the divisions within Russian orthodoxy. All of these things are of crucial importance in understanding the current situation.
And worth bearing this in mind as well (from Brian Berletic’s New Atlas Channel):
A few thoughts regarding Washington’s shifting policy of turning Taiwan into Asia’s “Ukraine:”
1. Taiwan is to China as Ukraine is to Russia, in other words the US seeks to wage a proxy conflict through the breakaway island province in the same way the US is waging war with Russia through Ukrainian forces;
2. Just as US training and arms sales to Ukraine has done absolutely nothing to “repel” Russia, US training and arms to Taiwan will not only not “repel” any military operation to reintegrate Taiwan fully, it will most likely only accelerate provocations toward such a military operation;
3. Washington’s goal in both Ukraine and Taiwan is not to preserve the regimes administering either territory, but to create and use conflicts involving both territories as justification for isolating Russia and China;
4. The Western arms industry obviously is benefiting to the tune of billions regarding arms sales to not only to Ukraine and Taiwan, but also to nations as part of “preparing” for wider conflict between Europe and Russia as well as Indo-Pacific nations and China;
5. In both cases it is clear that… Read more »
