The Biden administration is sorely mistaken if they think the public are in the mood for war with Russia—a nuclear power—over Ukraine.

The corporate media always carry water for the state, and they are never more dangerous than when the nation is on a war footing. Right now the United States government is sending weapons to Ukraine. One wouldn’t know that because of constant references to “lethal aid.” The euphemisms and subterfuge are necessary for a very simple reason. Everyone except the Washington war party knows that provoking war with Russia is extremely dangerous.

The 2014 coup against an elected Ukrainian president took place in part because the Russians underestimated the extent of U.S. and NATO determination. They roused themselves quickly however and Crimeans, who are mostly of Russian origin, voted to rejoin the nation they had been a part of until 1954. The U.S./NATO regime change effort came at a steep price for Ukraine. Thanks to Atlanticist meddling it is now the poorest country in Europe that won’t get the NATO and EU membership it was promised.

Now Washington is pulling the same ploy they attempted in Ethiopia. They have declared that the Russians are coming and have even announced an evacuation of embassy personnel families from the capital city of Kyiv. Vassal states Australia and the United Kingdom have followed suit, but a European Union official, “We are not going to do the same thing because we don’t know any specific reasons.” The Ukrainian government, a de facto U.S.

The Russians certainly mean what they say. As Secretary of State Antony Blinken rushes from Moscow to Berlin to London to Moscow, seemingly making things up as he goes along, the Russians dig in their heels and make clear that their days of being pushovers are in the past. The most committed puppet states like the U.K. go along with whatever Washington wants.

US’s Support for Invasions Should Disqualify It From Leading on Russia-UkrainePresident Biden has correctly pointed out that pre-emptive war, as Russia is threatening against Ukraine, is illegal. However, then-Senator Biden used that very reasoning — the possibility of a future threat —in supporting the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq. Which was also complete bullshit and lies.. Who else is betting US plan is Ukraine attack Donbas to draw in Russia between Fri Feb 4 -Sun Feb 20; the Beijing Olympics? We can’t put it past the spiteful US child to endanger global security to distract from China’s celebration, Putin away attending it, then blame Russia. US regime changed Ukraine in 2014 -Victoria Nuland audio East Ukraine didn’t accept this. Ukraine attacked it. Russia defended ethnic Russian population. All because US had to add another country to its regime changed list, here
