The United States, Russia and Ukraine – 3/14/22

Let’s talk about the USA of today, specifically going to war against another country. We were wrong to go to war in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, wrong in Libya and many other countries where the CIA, Deep State, Military Industrial Complex greatly benefited themselves monetarily, under the guise of building Democracies and spreading freedom across the globe. All bullshit. Many in Congress, government, also benefited greatly monetarily. Every country is corrupt. Corruption in government has existed since the very first human government.

Then came Trump. He delivered on putting an end to the endless wars. Was instrumental in the Abraham accords. Made peace with North Korea. Then came Biden. Biden screwed up with Afghanistan. Trump made us stronger. Rebuilt the military, built Space Force. We were respected and feared by every nation. A roaring economy, energy independence, etc. Then, just like that, Biden. Everything changed for the worse. All the promise of a great future for us vanished on day one. Nobody feared Biden or The United States. Putin had his window of opportunity now, because he knows Trump will be back. Putin would never invade Ukraine under Trump.

Putin always lamented the demise of the Soviet Union. Putin: ”It was the disintegration of historical Russia under the name of the Soviet Union.”…”The greatest geopolitical disaster of the 20th century.” Putin’s comments ”reveal how much he feels the disintegration of the Soviet Union devastated Russia’s power.”- rferl.org. 12/13/21.

Putin spoke about the personal impact the collapse of the Soviet Union had on him. That it put many into poverty. Putin: ”Sometimes I had to earn extra money, I mean earn extra money by car as a private driver. It’s unpleasant to talk about, to be honest, but unfortunately that was the case.”- rferl.org. 12/13/21.

Obviously, the mind of a fragile ego. Putin knows he’s not long for this world and his ego drives him to make a lasting legacy of his name and actions in Russian history. Syria is Russia’s Afghanistan.

Putin expected a quick defeat of Ukraine. It didn’t happen for many reasons. If there was, I would expect Putin to be emboldened and would not have stopped after winning Ukraine. After all, lamenting all his life about the demise of the Soviet Union, this was Putin’s chance. Fact: Ukraine is not part of NATO. Fact: Russia broke its agreement they signed in 1994 called the Budapest Memorandum. ”In 1994, Ukraine signed an agreement with the US, UK and Russia under which it gave up its nuclear arsenal in return for certain assurances.”-npr.org. 3/9/14.

In 1994, Ukraine had the world’s third largest nuclear arsenal. Ukraine asked that the US and Russia ”would pay attention and respect Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, territorial integrity, that there would be no use of force or threat of force against Ukraine.”-npr.org. 3/9/14.

Putin lied to his soldiers that going into Ukraine was a milItary exercise. That they didn’t know about the invasion until the night before.- businessinsider.com. 3/7/22.

Conclusion: In the history of war, soldiers believe in their leader and military command. Not to, leads to demoralization, and that’s what’s happened to the Russians attack. The Ukrainians whole country is united and fighting, volunteering, anything they can do to help in the fight, while Russians at home get arrested for protesting against the war. Russian tv spews the propaganda that Ukraine invaded Russia. The biolabs and Nazi diversions were just typical Russian propaganda tactics. Even the Syrian people are rooting for Ukraine and impressed how Ukraine destroyed the Russian propaganda so efficiently. The Ukranians have a real leader in Zelensky. Unfortunately for Russia, they miscalculated the determination, fighting will, of the Ukranian people. Russia will lose not only in Ukraine, but as a result of their irresponsible actions, throughout the world, for years to come. / Done
