| U.S. State Secretary Antony Blinken,visits the gravesite of the Ukrainian Army fallen . Blinken has blood on his hands , these men and women died in a US led Proxy war , not in the interests of the Ukrainian people. |
Secretary of (1)>>State Antony Blinken says that America intervened in the war to uphold a fundamental principle of sovereignty. Appearing at a United States Senate hearing on April 26, 2022, two months into the war, he said about Ukraine’s bid to join NATO or the European Union, which President Putin cites as one reason to attack Ukraine: “These are sovereign decisions for European countries to make... but this goes to the heart of the international system and the international order. And part of that is a basic principle that one country can’t dictate to another the choices it makes about with whom it allies, its foreign policies, or its decision or not to try to engage with the European Union with NATO.” WE can say that the (1.2)>>United States Government , its elite leaders have BLOOD on their hands and exposing them to the American Public is the right thing . If the US stops supplying weapons to Ukraine, the war will stop. It is the US that is using Ukraine to fight a proxy war. Ukrainians died because of the interests of the US, not for their own country. U.S. State Secretary Antony Blinken, who is on a visit to Ukraine, visited the cemetery where the Ukrainian servicemen who have died in the war are buried,. (2)>>Good progress? Blinken, praised the results of the graves of these people. Inspecting the effects of the Washington proxy war policy: til' the last Ukrainian.I can’t believe even Ukraine are happy with this ‘progress’. Wasn’t the objective to actually capture Crimea by the end of the year? Thousands of dead Ukrainians , about 500,000 is the estimate . ALL those men who gave their lives in a proxy way died for NATO , not for the soil of Crimea . (3)>>These poor Ukrainians dying are fighting Russian for America,nothing else and Blinkin has blood on his hands for not even trying to (4)>>END THIS INSANE WAR!. There would never have been a war if the US had agreed that Ukraine would never join NATO and Ukraine had abided by the Minsk agreements. The blood is on your hands, champ. (4.1)>>The war dead will continue to grow in Ukraine as long as American taxpayer money continue to fund this war .We now know that the (5)>>insane puppet Zelensky is throwing untrained civilians to fight his war for the United States . Utterly bizarre how many people are 'shocked' at the idea that a major conventional war would last longer than a year, and there was no clear winner by 10 months in well golly we better just throw in the towel. As far as I'm aware, we haven't yet sent anything to Ukraine under the latest lend-lease act. Everything we're sending up to this point is through the presidential drawdown and security assistance program, which is better for Ukraine than land-lease because they don't have to return the equipment or pay us back. The new lend-lease act that was passed last May (and technically started last October) is really just there for the president in case Congress decides not to approve funds to Ukraine, and it's quite different from the WWII era program.Regardless, we're sending both equipment (some of which is not that old) and money (financial grants to help keep the government running). It's the right thing to do for a variety of reasons. Antony Blinken unveiled another $1 billion in military and civilian aid for Ukraine on Wednesday as he met President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during an unannounced visit to (6)>>Kyiv.A billion here, a billion there... Any country in 1st world country would have already been planning an exit plan and trying to do damage control at home. Vietnam. Afghanistan both times. Every country involved in both world wars. Bombing and killing the civilian population never works. It just makes them angrier and determined to keep fighting regardless of how things on the ground turn out.Also nuclear bombing isn't comparable. If that happened today it would just trigger an intervention. NOW continuing the slaughter and suffering both in Ukraine and at home is not necessarily a shock but I do think it's a bit surprising. I think many players, especially in Europe, thought even Putin would draw a line somewhere that he wouldn't cross. Turns out they were wrong. The question is what is the West willing to do to shorten and win this war? If nothing more than what it is doing now,then we will have a stalemate of attrition, which Putin will win.And all the casualties will have been wasted. Some third party has to negotiate a ceasefire with all warring parties staying in place. Just like in Korea. At what point do we just call it what it is; a massive fraud perpetrated on the American People?
NOTES AND COMMENTS ::(1)>>State Antony Blinken says that America intervened in the war to uphold a fundamental principle of sovereignty.With that in mind, when President Biden talks of the moral imperative of democracies challenging the Russian autocracy, it is all too likely to fall on deaf ears. People simply contrast the president’s stance on Putin’s regime with Western links to autocracies worldwide, not least in the Middle East and North Africa. Some would argue that the West’s more recent war, its sustained air assault on ISIS in Iraq and Syria between 2014 and 2018, successfully destroyed the group. But even that ‘success’ is now looking tarnished, as ISIS survives and remains active in both countries and, along with other extreme paramilitaries, is entrenched across the Sahel, has a presence in Mozambique and the DRC, impacts on Kenya and Uganda, and has links with groups in Somalia.And this is not to mention the Vietnam War, the Korean War and the US sponsorship of countless Latin American dictatorships that collectively killed hundreds of thousands of left-wing workers and young people.Three months ago, the US and NATO leaders met in Vilnius, Lithuania, posturing as a “summit of victors” who had just launched a massive military counteroffensive that would inflict a devastating strategic defeat upon Russian forces in Ukraine.Three months later, Ukraine’s offensive has ended in a debacle, failing to achieve any of its objectives, measuring its episodic advances in mere yards and meters, while desperately sacrificing tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops, and losing hundreds of US and NATO armored vehicles. Billions of dollars in aid have been squandered and stolen by Ukrainian officials and Kiev’s defense minister has been fired.This is the context in which US President Joe Biden, the doddering master strategist of this bloody disaster, has arrived at the G20 summit in New Delhi, India, in an effort to bolster international support for the proxy war with Russia in Ukraine and, at the same time, deepen the military and economic offensive against China.Having staked the prestige of American imperialism on a military victory and totally indifferent to the staggering loss of Ukrainian life, the Biden administration is determined to continue and intensify the war against Russia. Earlier this week, Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to Kiev to pledge to continue the war “for as long as it takes.” One recent Financial Times op-ed referred to any negotiations as a “moral defeat,” while other reports speak of the “fear of peace talks.”In the media, there is talk of the war extending until 2024 or 2025(1.2)>>United States Government , its elite leaders have BLOOD on their hands. Over the past year, there has been an open spigot delivering tens of billions of dollars in weapons and other military hardware. As the war has dragged on, earlier hesitation expressed by leaders of NATO states. So far the US can't point at Putin while explaining the 20 years of being at war , the countless millions that died in American proxy wars . Just replace the word Ukraine with Iraq, Russia with the United States, Russian with American, and Putin with Bush, and ask if the U.S. government would have recognized the legitimacy of such a tribunal established to bring accountability for the 2003 invasion of Iraq.Many of those wars – which were started and largely fought by the US and its coalition partners, notably Britain – ended in failure, including in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya. In Iraq alone, the current count for civilian deaths since 2003 ranges from 186,143 to 209,349, depending on the methodology used. NOW US president’s decision to send the widely banned weapons because “they’re running out of that ammunition” was also criticised by Labour and a former senior diplomat today.Cluster munitions are prohibited by 123 countries including Britain because each bomb spreads many small bomblets over a wide area, posing a high risk to civilians.Vice-chairman of the campaign coalition Chris Nineham told the Morning Star: “The reason Biden says it’s a difficult decision is because senior State Department officials have in the recent past condemned Russia for doing the exactly the same thing: for using cluster bombs in Ukraine, and even said it’s a war crime.There’s a basic problem of massive hypocrisy here.But American stubbornness, especially given Ukraine and its history and geographical proximity to Russia, has led the world to an unknown future in which Russia is making gains in eastern Ukraine. More than 4.5 million people have been displaced, and the world is facing famine, inflation, and a shortage of crucial components of modern life, such as fuel, fertilizer, and chemicals. Ukraine may have to yield territory to stop further bloodshed, a suboptimal outcome .(2)>>Good progress? Blinken, praised the results of the graves of these people. Staging the same pattern of killing mindlessly one another by the burst of bombs and bullets in utter ferocity beguiled in lurking fear of being killed unless I take to fire to kill and save myself ! Realize the situation and the mind set! Abominably wild and dangerous play assimilating with the ancient time. The war reportedly robbed of nearly a million of vibrant lives many of them might make so much fanciful and pleasant to their loved ones, progeny, siblings and parents. I detested to denote them simply as Russians or Ukrainians in the proxy war . The offensive is collapsing in the Eastern Ukrainian front while the US is still pressing on this war at any cost. For their only option remaining is a direct military intervention. Over the ensuing decade and a half, the US transformed the “war on terror” into “great power conflict,” instigating the Maidan coup of 2014 that erupted into the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. Practically the whole world can see the proxy 'war' instigated by Washington was doomed to fail from the beginning. The people it is hurting the most are the European 'allies' of the US hegemons which was exactly what the Americans wanted. They are clutching at straws if they think they could get more nations to support them in this economic suicide. 500,000 deaths so far , But that number soared in the winter and spring, as the two countries turned the eastern city of Bakhmut into a killing field. Hundreds of troops were killed or injured a day for many weeks, U.S. officials said.In the first two weeks of the counteroffensive, as much as 20 percent of the weaponry Ukraine sent to the battlefield was damaged or destroyed, according to U.S. and European officials. The losses included some of the formidable Western fighting machines — tanks and armored personnel carriers — that the Ukrainians were counting on to beat back the Russians.More significantly, thousands of troops were killed or wounded, officials said.A senior U.S. official acknowledged the high number of Ukrainian casualties but said combined arms is “very, very hard.”U.S. really has no idea of enemy casualties. From Vietnam to Afghanistan, we always exaggerated the number of enemy casualties. So let keep focus on numbers we know, which are Ukrainian casualties. Two hundred thousand is a remarkable number when you consider the number includes 70,000 dead and about 50,000 who have lost one or both legs. It is time for the U.S. to find a diplomatic solution to the Ukraine conflict.(3)>>These poor Ukrainians dying are fighting Russian for America. US army chief fears Kyiv has only 30 days left for offensive Kyiv could have as little as 30 days left for its counter-offensive against Moscow, fears the head of the US military.General Mark Milley said Ukraine only has around 30 to 45 days left before poor weather conditions hinder its offensive, telling the BBC’s Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg it will become “very difficult to manoeuvre” once the rains come. The U.S. knows time is running out for Ukraine. It knows that high-tech weapons will not be mastered in time to blunt a sustained Russian offensive.Those who mount proxy wars are blinded by wishful illusions. The arming of Ukraine is not missionary work. It has nothing to do with liberty or freedom. It is about weakening Russia. Take Russia out of the equation and there would be little tangible support for Ukraine. As many as 354,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers have been killed or injured in the Ukraine war which is grinding towards a protracted conflict that may last well beyond 2023, according to a trove of purported U.S. intelligence documents posted online.If authentic, the documents, which look like secret U.S. assessments of the war as well as some U.S. espionage against allies, offer rare insight into Washington's view of one of Europe's deadliest conflicts since World War Two.According to an assessment collated by the U.S. Defence Intelligence Agency, Russia has suffered 189,500-223,000 total casualties, including 35,500-43,000 killed in action and 154,000-180,000 wounded.Ukraine has suffered 124,500-131,000 total casualties, including 15,500-17,500 killed in action and 109,000-113,500 wounded in action, according to the document entitled "Russia/Ukraine - Assessed Combat Sustainability and Attrition."The figures are around 10 times bigger than any public casualty figures published by either Moscow or Kyiv.Neither side gives timely data on military losses.(4)>>END THIS INSANE WAR!. Today Ukraine is a corrupt and authoritarian state. Opposition parties and mass media are closed. Not capable of independent action. Neither in economics , nor in politics , nor in war . Nowhere. This is a donor state of people for the struggle of Western countries and the United States against Russia. It is important for warmongers to understand that Russia WILL NEVER LOSE THIS WAR. And this is evident from the articles in the NYT. So why continue to kill people ? So far most regular citizens of USA (like myself) can’t fathom “not supporting...” poor Ukraine. To suggest any ulterior motive , risks, etc as so eloquently pointed out here -hits a block wall with everyone I know .They’ve done their job well to garner unwavering support for this proxy war I admit the first few weeks I was onboard... but knowing how USA loves war for their own rewards I quickly was educated by the likes of Mr Hedges and obvious truths-if you open your eyes How do we get Americans to RECOGNIZE what’s really going on?.......reality of these bloody wars 🙏🙏 (4.1)>>The war dead will continue to grow in Ukraine as long as American taxpayer money continue to fund this war . Kiev uses weapons that it purchases from Western countries via Ukrainian taxpayers to kill civilians on its own soil instead of ensuring national security. US pentagon, CIA and military industrial complex can continue its Interventionist policy of proxy wars for amoral state interests. ManUkrainiansns will continue to go to the front lines being sacrificed . The U.S. doesn’t really care about Ukrainian freedom or democracy, which in any event are unlikely to flourish in the ruins created by this war. They poked the Russian bear until they got the fight they were looking for and which they hope will bleed and pin down the Russians. If a generation of young Ukrainians have to be sacrificed for this purpose, that is a price neocons like Victoria Nuland and “liberal” interventionists likAntonyny Blinken (both of whom incidentally have deep family histories in the region) have decided they are willing to pay. President Joe Biden recently sent to Congress his budget proposal for 2023. It included an astounding $813 billion for Pentagon and military expenditures. This is more than half the income taxes citizens send to the federal government each year, and a more than $31 billion increase over the already bloated fiscal year 2022 Pentagon budget. It also more than the defense budgets of the eight next biggest military spenders put together, including Russia, China and India.There was never a need to turn Ukraine into a cemetery on behalf of U.S. foreign policy. The Project for a New American Century and its Full Spectrum Dominance, pursued by both Republican and Democratic administrations is a grand failure that has left corpses everywhere. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen to name a few. And now the killing fields of Ukraine. The winners are Lockheed Martin, Raytheon and their ilk. Everyone else loses. Inexcusable, criminal, shameless.(5)>>insane puppet Zelensky .I wish they would get their story straight is he a western puppet? a coke head? Insane and make insulting demand? did joe Biden have a row with him.? I am very sorry for all the Ukrainian civilians and young men dying , but i did my research, which tells me that ukrainians are not so innocent .We all know about illegal coup in 2014 and that not everyone in Ukraine supported that coup (because Presidents are supposed to be elected in democratic elections) , Particularly Donbass and Luhansk,Crimea .So in 2014 there were found mass graves of people in Donetsk region , and some people in European parliament declared that these were the victims of the nationalist Aidar battalion.This battalion was funded by Ukrainian oligarch Kolomoisky , who supported The presidency of Zelenski.Even Former President Poroshenka said that Zelenski is Kolomoiski's puppet, who controls nationalist battalion's, and who were executing people in a simmilar way like in Bucha.This is EXACTLY what suggestions by US Gen. Milley that Ukraine should think about negotiations and leaked info about Jake Sullivan White House Security Advisor asking Zelensky’s team to rethink Crimea - leads to:EMBOLDENED Russians in the shape of unhinged Lavrov. He revealed he was offended that a "puppet of the West," Zelensky, no longer listens to his "masters". Zelensky snubed Russia as he addresses 'G19' at G20.Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called Ukraine’s demands for peace "inadequate". In addition, as noted, in conversations with French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Lavrov accused Ukraine of allegedly disrupting the negotiation process.He noted this on the sidelines of the G20 summit, reports Russian RIA-Novosti"Ukraine's demands are inadequate," a Russian propaganda publication quoted Lavrov as saying."From Zelensky's speech at the G20, the conclusion follows that he does not listen to any advice from the West about negotiations with Russia. Russia wants to see concrete evidence that the West is interested in disciplining Zelensky," Lavrov said. Volodymyr Zelensky has called on the West to deliver more more weapons in order to start a global nuclear war, the Russian government media writes, quoting a French politician. In fact, Ukraine needs more weapons from the West in order to defend itself against the Russian aggression in the context of ongoing hostilities.(6)>>Kyiv.A billion here, a billion there... I have to imagine that the US would've had to shell out a lot of money if that were the case. Most equipment in Afghanistan was painted tan to match the natural environment, which served as camouflage. Having tan colored equipment isn't going to help a soldier in a place like Ukraine.So due to the war in Ukraine of course the US has been donating a few billions dollars to Ukraine to assist them defending themselves,multiple politics have spoke against this saying things such as” why isn’t that money going to fixing our own country?” Which that’s a good question, why wasn’t it? Because as far as I know we had all that money before the war in Ukraine began, so if they’re complaining about that now, then why wasn’t it ever going towards our country in the first place? It isn't "a few billion", it's over $200 billion. These are just blank checks to defense contractors though. This is the SAME EXACT bullshit Bush did with his bullshit war, but it seems the left likes this one because its russia??? idk why the left hates russia but loves other autocracies like cuba and china. The issue that many people have comes down to the fact that we didn't actually have that money, and are financing it with debt. That raises the question as to why we are borrowing money to give to a country we have no alliance with when we also have record inflation at home.Also consider the recently passed spending bill. It gives a ton of money to various countries to help secure their borders, but nothing is being to address the issues we have on our southern border.It's certainly an issue that gave Trump a lot of support with his America First philosophy. It’s a total sham and a ripoff to taxpayers. It’s stealing, pure and simple. Ukraine is just a front for a bunch of juiced in, mafia type politicians basking in the piles of money being given to them. I wish we could sue to stop this. It’s sickening. And , Zelensky is probably a billionaire by now too, right? I’m sure he’s living high on the hog. He’s just as bad as the rest of them. Stop giving this guy taxpayer money.
