- The US had an
agenda to lock Moscow into a
costly military quagmire with
the goal of weakening Russia,
and to this day US officials
openly boast about all this war
is doing to advance US
interests. So they’ve kept it
going, using Ukrainian bodies as
a giant sponge to soak up as
many expensive military
explosives as possible to drain
Russian coffers while advancing
US energy interests in Europe
and keeping Moscow preoccupied
while the empire orchestrates
its next move against China.
Last month The Washington Post’s
David Ignatius wrote an article
explaining why westerners
shouldn’t “feel gloomy” about
how things are going in Ukraine,
writing the following about how
much this war is doing to
benefit US interests overseas:
“Meanwhile, for the United
States and its NATO allies,
these 18 months of war have been
a strategic windfall, at
relatively low cost (other than
for the Ukrainians). The West’s
most reckless antagonist has
been rocked. NATO has grown much
stronger with the additions of
Sweden and Finland. Germany has
weaned itself from dependence on
Russian energy and, in many
ways, rediscovered its sense of
values. NATO squabbles make
headlines, but overall, this has
been a triumphal summer for the
alliance.”
“Other than for the Ukrainians”
he says, as a parenthetical
aside.
Everyone who supported this
horrifying proxy war should have
that paragraph tattooed on their
fucking forehead.
