The Proxy War in Ukraine

I could be completely wrong, but I don't think Russia is bent on world domination, they just want a secure place in the world. The war mongers in the White House seem to think that Russia must be destroyed and if we destroy Western Europe along the way, well, that's just too bad.

Deception, manipulation, sabotage: What the UK does to keep the Ukraine war going by Tarik Cyril Amar

Leaked papers expose a secret military operation that includes planning attacks, suppressing media and brainwashing the British public

A couple of excerpts:

[Lieutenant General Charlie Stickland] – boasting of his pirate ancestors and in charge of “UK-led joint and multinational overseas military operations” – and his motley crew have just been the object of an investigative exposé by Grayzone reporter Kit Klarenberg. In, for now, two articles, the Grayzone has detailed how, in 2022, Stickland set up a below-the-radar network of “an assortment of leading academics, authors, strategists, planners, pollsters, comms, data scientists and tech.” Under the name Project Alchemy and overlapping and liaising with another group of wannabe keyboard Ninjas calling themselves – I kid you not – “the Elders,” this conspiratorial group has worked on, in essence, keeping the Ukraine war going at any price and by means foul and fouler.

Doing what exactly? All kinds of things, really, and all based on one stupid yet once immensely popular assumption: that the proxy war in Ukraine could be leveraged to defeat Russia, reduce it to geopolitical insignificance, impose regime change on it, and even break it up. Some, including the new de facto foreign minister of the EU, Estonia’s Kaja Kallas – imagine Annalena Baerbock, but without the brilliant intellect – still seem to be on that political equivalent of an LSD trip gone terribly wrong. What a hangover it will be one day, probably soon.

Now it may be that the gangsters in the White House are right to be afraid of Russia. If Russia gets their act together and can get other 'enemies of the West' to cooperate with them, in five or ten years they might be able to bring serious pressure to bear on the USA. 

I don't think we should be wasting our resources on screwing over the rest of the world, we should be working to make the USA as strong and powerful as possible. Of course, when you are a gangster, you don't really know how to bring out the best in people, all you can do is frighten them into submission.

P. S. It seems like I am seeing more stories critical of Biden and his minions lately. Has Trump's victory caused the more people to stand in the light, or has it just improved my outlook?
