-- Neocon Objectives --
I’ve been following the Ukraine situation since 2014 with Robert Parry leading the way as a teacher. I’ve followed the burnings in Odessa, the persecution without legal rights and murders of journalists, mayors, politicians, and citizens. I’ve followed the banning of the main opposition party, which had higher polls than the Zelenskyy government. I’ve been shocked by the sheer hatred expressed against the Russian-Ukrainian minority. It’s a long and sad story devolving from the 2014 coup, co-engineered by the U.S., which stripped Ukraine of its neutrality and made it vociferously anti-Russian; in the eight years since, some 14,000 innocent people in the Ukraine have been killed, none of which was seriously covered by our media.
I’ve watched with mounting fear these past weeks as Victoria Nuland once again emerged out of the blue, warning the Russians and us -- the target audience -- that if the Russians use a nuclear device of any kind, there’ll be hell to pay. This was quickly picked up by a host of Administration officials and TV channels in the following days, amplifying the same idea -- Russia going nuclear. All this coming because of Putin’s restatement of Russia’s nuclear policy, which btw is not as aggressive as our nuclear posture. This made me wonder, why repeat this over and over? First, there were all the war crimes charges which came fast and furious and need serious investigation and evidence.
As a result, I wonder if the U.S. is setting the stage for a low-yield nuclear explosion, of unknown origin, somewhere in the Donbass region, killing thousands of Ukrainians? Of course, if that happened, God forbid, all the world’s eyes would be trained, like a Pavlov dog, to blame Russia. That guilt has been set up already in advance, regardless of who launched the device. This usage would certainly impact the remaining 50% of world opinion, which isn’t in the Western camp. Russia would be the Satan, the Beelzebub. Keep in mind, it’s hard to know where a nuclear device is fired from, especially in a fast-moving situation like this war, in which it seems Russia can be accused of any behavior, no matter how preposterous. It would probably take a few days to find out the truth, but the truth isn’t important. The perception is, and the U.S. is running a perception war with great skill and blunt force, saturating the CNN/Fox airwaves and our satellite countries in Europe and Asia as I’ve never seen before.
In doing this, we’d be one step closer to getting what we hope is another Yeltsin, who can create for our country another huge ideological and business opportunity. But, more important, in the bargain, isolate China from Russia. Of course, China would be the next target if Russia falls. This, I believe, is the dream scenario of the neoconservative anarchists in our government to make what they deem a better “rule-based world.”

- Hemoshree Chatterjee SanyalIt’s really important to realise what is at stake here for the entire world. Is it so important to hold on to a unipolar world for the US empire that it would rather let the whole world perish than see a multipolar world taking shape?! And those who turn a blind eye to the facts and believe the only narrative that’s pushed by their establishment media it’s high time for them to wake up because guess what reality is inevitable!176

3 replies - Jalal KassabYou kinda wonder why the US ran out of Afghanistan. Because they had planned another war and a way to steal Aghan foreign assets.To think the conflict in Ukraine started 2 months ago is for the sheep. Remember how a US General Wesley Clarke revealed how 7 countries were being planned for invasion before it even happened.Who are we all kidding.33 Billion Dollars already committed by the US alone in military aid to Ukraine.These policies are about perpetual war, not a peace.Clarke saidThis invasion was being discussed as part of a five-year campaign plan, he said, and there were a total of seven countries, beginning with Iraq, then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing off Iran." Clark regards the 2003 invasion of Iraq as "a huge mistake".Retired U.S. General Wesley Clark: Wars Were Planned, Seven Countries In Five YearsYOUTUBE.COMRetired U.S. General Wesley Clark: Wars Were Planned, Seven Countries In Five Years18

- Alan ElnickIt was somewhat comical (though the sadness and tragedy are very real) to watch Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff with their cohort Congresspeople from the Democratic Party marching around Kyiv, Ukraine, accompanying Volodomir Zelenskyy, in the midst of the Russian "invasion." The irony is this, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Mitt Romney all had close relatives profiting (partying) in the Ukraine prior to the election of Zelenskyy. The other part of the irony, is that the very people being wiped out by the Russian "invasion" are the ones that are the greatest threat to Zelenskyy's continuance in office. Some of this fits into the sudden return to public notice of Petro Poroshenko, the president displaced by Zelenskyy, but the president who removed the Ukrainian Attorney General investigating corruption in Burisma and the influence of Hunter Biden, et. al. The shows continue!!!

5 replies - Aguinaldo JuniorThe war in Ukraine and the #Western strategic scholars who have been warning for years that it was coming if we stayed on track. Nobody listened to them and now they blame it only on Russia.*WEST STRATEGIC THINKERS WHO WARNED ABOUT THE UKRAINE CONFLICT*1. *George #Kennan, America's foreign policy strategist*, the architect of US cold war strategy. As early as 1998, he warned that NATO's expansion was a "tragic mistake" that should provoke a "bad reaction from Russia".2. *Henry #Kissinger*, in 2014. He warned that "for Russia, Ukraine can never be just a foreign country" and that the West therefore needs a policy aimed at "reconciliation".He was also adamant that "Ukraine should not join NATO"3. *John Mearsheimer* - arguably the leading geopolitical scholar in the US today - in 2015: "The West is taking Ukraine down the path of spring and the end result is that Ukraine will be destroyed [...] which we are doing is actually encouraging this outcome."4. *Jack F. Matlock Jr.*, US Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-1991, warning in 1997 that NATO expansion was "the deepest strategic mistake, [encouraging] a chain of events that could produce the most serious security threatens [...] since the collapse of the Soviet Union"5. Clinton's Secretary of Defense *William Perry* explained in his memoirs that for him the enlargement of NATO is the cause of "the rupture in relations with Russia" and that in 1996 he was so opposed that "in the force of my conviction, I considered resigning".6. *Stephen Cohen*, a famous scholar of Russian studies, warning in 2014 that "if we move NATO forces to Russia's borders [...] it will obviously militarize the situation [and] Russia will not back down, that it's existential"7. *CIA Director Bill Burns* in 2008: "Ukraine's entry into NATO is the brightest of all red lines for [Russia]" and "I have yet to meet anyone who sees Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests." (He was then ambassador to Moscow in 2008 when he wrote this memo.) He is now director of the CIA. '08 memo 'Nyet Means Nyet: Redlines of Russia's NATO Enlargement'8. Russian-American journalist *Vladimir Pozner*, in 2018, stated that: The expansion of NATO in Ukraine is unacceptable to Russians, that there must be a compromise that "Ukraine, guaranteed, will not become a member of NATO" .9. *Malcolm #Fraser, Australia's 22nd Prime Minister*, warned in 2014 that "[NATO's] eastward move is provocative, reckless and a very clear signal to Russia." He adds that this leads to a "difficult and extraordinarily dangerous problem".10. *Paul #Keating, former Australian Prime Minister, 1997*: Expanding NATO is "a mistake that may ultimately fall in with the strategic miscalculations that have prevented Germany from taking its full place in the international system [ in the early 20th century]"11. *Former US Secretary of Defense Bob Gates* in his 2015 memoir: "To act so quickly [to expand NATO] was a mistake. [...] Trying to bring Georgia and Ukraine into NATO was really over the top [and] a tease"12. *Pat Buchanan*, in his 1999 book A Republic, Not an Empire: "By moving NATO onto Russia's front porch, we program a 21st century confrontation."13. In 1997, a group of individuals including *Robert McNamara, Bill Bradley and Gary Hart wrote a letter to Bill Clinton* warning that "the US-led effort to expand NATO is a political mistake of historic proportions" and that would "promote instability" in Europe. Today it's fringe, a traitorous position.14. *Dmitriy Trenin* expressed concern that Ukraine was, in the LT, the most potentially destabilizing factor in US-Russia relations, given the level of emotion and neuralgia triggered by its quest for NATO membership.15. *Sir Roderic Lyne, former British Ambassador to Russia*, warned a year ago that "[pushing] Ukraine into NATO [...] is stupid on every level." He adds "if you want to start a war with Russia, this is the best way to do it".16. Even last year, *famous economist Jeffrey #Sachs*, writing a column in the FT warning that "NATO enlargement is totally misguided and risky. True friends of Ukraine and global peace should be asking for a US commitment and of NATO with Russia."17. *Fiona Hill* :"We warned [George Bush] that Mr. Putin would view the measures to bring Ukraine and Georgia closer to NATO as a provocative move that would likely provoke preemptive Russian military action.21
