Another U.S. forever war takes wing. From Andrew Korybko at korybko.substack.com:
Tying the President’s hands in terms of how they de-escalate this conflict predetermines that it’ll continue kindling even if the front lines informally freeze for a significant length of time, thus keeping the Damocles’ sword of Armageddon hanging over everyone’s head for the next decade at least.
The “Republicans In Name Only” (RINOs) and the Democrats came together as the “uniparty” to push through the US’ latest Ukraine aid package in late April, which prompted Zelensky to disclose that their countries are negotiating a ten-year-long security pact. He then elaborated over the weekend that it’ll include “armed support, financial, political, and joint arms production.” An agreement like that will almost certainly require congressional approval, ergo where the uniparty comes back in.
Billionaire entrepreneur David Sacks reacted to this on X by writing that “The $61 billion was just the beginning. The next two U.S. presidents won’t be able to switch it off”, to which Elon Musk responded with “This is insane. The forever war.” It was observed back in early January that “Ukraine’s Hoped-For ‘Security Guarantees’ Aren’t All That They Were Hyped Up To Be” after the first such pact was reached with the UK but didn’t include promised troop deployments like Kiev had earlier sought to clinch.
Subsequent bilateral agreements with other NATO countries also didn’t include those promises either, but what’s so concerning about the similar pact being negotiated with the US is that it might take the form of a bill modeled off of the 1979 “Taiwan Relations Act” and thenceforth enter into law. The aforementioned is deliberately ambiguous about the US’ mutual defense commitment to that rogue Chinese island but mandates continued arms sales to it and pressures the president to act if it’s attacked.
They are serious about depopulation.
NATO is already there with Fwance and others.
How about those smart Poles wanting to host nukes?
(/s)
Russia will be ten times stronger in a decade and what if they really want RF to win since it is the original egalitarian workers utopia Petri dish?
You know they want some of that oligarchs looting everything down to the foundations back in the former CCCP.
How high the KIA list will go is the question and read earlier that “dozens” have been gunned down by so called comrades for trying to exit the 404 by any means necessary.
They’ll go all limp like the former Europa if too many of the menfolk are killed then the vultures can descend for loot-o-rama? (wink)
