more evidence that the us is trying to prolong this war the washington post has a new article out bemoaning the fact that russian military commanders are declining calls from the pentagon to discuss their operations in ukraine i don't know guys might have something to do with the fact that the us is sharing extensive military intelligence on exactly those operations directly with the ukrainian government talked all2/13
the way down in the 18th paragraph of the article we find a much more interesting revelation that washington's top diplomat has made no attempt to contact his counterpart in moscow since the war began on the 24th of february secretary of state anthony blinken has not attempted any conversations with his counterpart russian foreign minister sergey lavrov since the start of the conflict according to u.s officials the3/13
washington post reports so the us government is continuing its established policy of refusing to attempt any high-level diplomatic resolutions to this war despite its public hand-wringing about the horrific violence that's being inflicted upon the people of ukraine this revelation fits nicely with a recent report by bloomberg's nile ferguson that sources in the us and uk governments have told him the real goal of western powers in4/13
this conflict is not to negotiate peace or end the war quickly but to prolong it in order to bleed putin and achieve regime change in moscow building on an earlier report from the new york times that the biden administration seeks to help ukraine lock russia in a quagmire ferguson writes that he has reached the conclusion that the u.s tends to keep this war going and says5/13
he has other sources to corroborate this quote the only end game now a senior administration official was heard to say at a private event earlier this month is the end of putin regime until then all the time putin stays russia will be a pariah state that will never be welcomed back into the community of nations china has made a huge error in thinking putin will get6/13
away with it seeing russia get cut off will not look like a good vector and they'll have to re-evaluate the sino-russia axis all this is to say that democracy in the west may well look back on this as a pivotal strengthening moment i gather that senior british officials are talking in similar terms there is a belief that the uk's number one option is for the conflict7/13
to be extended and thereby bleed putin again and again i hear such language it helps explain among other things the lack of diplomatic effort by the u.s to secure a ceasefire it also explains the readiness of president joe biden to call putin a war criminal end quote earlier this month when the intercept's ryan grimm was able to get a word in edgewise at a white house8/13
press briefing amid the throngs of mass media reporters demanding to know why biden still hasn't started world war three press secretary jen saki gave a very revealing answer so aside from the request for weapons president zielinski has also requested that the u.s be more involved in negotiations toward a peaceful resolution to the war what is the u.s doing to push those negotiations forward asked grim well9/13
one of the steps we've taken a significant one is to be the largest provider of military and humanitarian and economic assistance in the world to put them in a greater position of strength as they go into these negotiations saki answered completely dodging the question of whether the u.s was actually doing anything to help negotiate peace as we've discussed previously the us government has a well-documented history10/13
of working to draw moscow into costly military entanglements with the goal of preoccupying its military forces and draining its coffers former u.s officials are on record publicly boasting about having done so in both afghanistan and syria this is an agenda geared towards sapping the russian government manufacturing international consent for unprecedented acts of economic warfare designed though perhaps ineptly to crush the russian economy to foment discord11/13
and rebellion and ultimately to achieve regime change in moscow the u.s empire doesn't care about ukrainian lives and it's insulting that its operatives continually pretend to the empire will happily feed every man woman and child in the entire nation into the mouth of this war if it means unseating a disobedient leader from a nuclear-armed seat of power which has become unacceptably close with beijing and intolerably12/13
comfortable with intervening against u.s imperial agendas and all the ukrainian flag-waving propagandized masses with their stand with ukraine instagram activism and blue and yellow profile pics will cheer for it every step of the way i hope this brutal proxy war ends and peace comes to ukraine very quickly but from what we're seeing today there appears to be an immense globe spanning power structure holding its foot
