When the Russians invaded Ukraine, defending Ukraine was supposedly all about defending democracy and a lot of bllue and gold rah rah. Now, its about preserving Ukraine’s mineral wealth and farmland so American corporations can strip mine the country. From Ted Snider at antiwar.com:
When Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, the U.S. poured military aid into Ukraine in defense of the “core principles” of sovereignty, territorial integrity and the “sovereign right” every country has “to determine for itself with whom it will choose to associate in terms of its alliances.”
As Western support for military aid became harder to maintain, the warning of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s imperialism rose from a background note to a dominant message. Putin, Secretary of State Antony Blinken explained, has “made clear that he’d like to reconstitute the Soviet empire.” “If Ukraine loses the war,” Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky said, “other countries will be attacked. This is a fact.” He warned that “this aggression, and Putin’s army, can come to Europe.” “[A]t the moment,” he said, “it’s us, then Kazakhstan, then Baltic states, then Poland, then Germany.”
This narrative was effective on U.S. President Joe Biden. Biden is, by his nature, an old cold warrior who looks out from the White House on a Manichean world of democracy versus autocracy. “If Putin takes Ukraine,” he told Congress, “he won’t stop there… He’s going to keep going. He’s made that pretty clear.”
But support for military aid to Ukraine is getting softer and Biden’s time in the White House is setting. Trump is a new president. Zelensky’s team followed him from television to government: they are masters of marketing. A new president needs a new message. They see Trump as less of a cold warrior and more of a transactional business man. So, the message for selling the war to the West is taking on a new tone.
Why is that the FUSA’s problem?
If Europe is too soft and weak to defend itself.
Hitler used a similar theme that CCCP was about to invade Europe but there is no proof of that.
The NSDAP had USA and CCCP all partitioned on maps but some dates got cancelled due to rugged defense.
Only civnat dullards fall for that shining beacon on a hill horseshit.
WAR is big business opportunity just as Smedley Butler said and no vote on it in muh demockracy.
The glistening cess ridden swamp of monopoly corruption and shekel trough feeding by “cosmopolitan” assclowns who don’t give a rip about America.
