Straight Talk on Ukraine

by Stephen Lendman

Hegemon USA goaded Russia to launch its SMO against Nazi-infested Ukraine — by undermining its good faith efforts to halt years of Kiev aggression on Donbass.

Days earlier, Tucker Carlson addressed what's going on.

It has nothing to do with aiding Ukraine or its people, nothing to do with pursuing peace, stability and compliance with the rule of law.

It's all about wanting Russia undermined politically, economically and militarily— wanting the country softened up for regime change.

It's been Washington's aim since the Russia's 1917 revolution — over a century of wanting control over its territory, vast resources and people.

Thousands of Ukrainian youths and others are dying because of hegemon USA's rage to harm, undermine and control Russia.

Carlson is right saying that if the Biden regime "wanted to save Ukraine, its people, and infrastructure…(it) would push for a settlement now."

He should have stressed that dominant US hardliners and their predecessors never should have orchestrated and directed years of Kiev aggression on Donbass.

The Obama/Biden regime shouldn't have replaced Ukraine's democratic government with Nazi-infested tyrannical rule.

If the US respected the rule of law and sovereign rights of all nations, it wouldn't wage perpetual wars to replace their governments with puppet ones it controls.

Throughout the post-WW II period and earlier, the US rejected all of the above in pursuit of its diabolical aims. 

Made-in-the-USA conflict "in Ukraine is designed to cause regime change in Moscow," Carlson stressed. 

Biden regime hardliners "want to topple the Russian government."

Carlson quoted undemocratic Dem hardliner Adam Schiff — House Intelligence Committee chairman, — saying the following:

"(T)he US (is) aid(ing) Ukraine…so that we can fight Russia over there and don't have to fight Russia here."

"(H)ow many Americans…want to fight Russia," Carlson asked?

According to what Schiff said, "(w)e don't arm Ukraine so we can help the Ukrainians." 

"They're merely unfortunate pawns in all of this. We arm Ukraine so that we can punish Russia. Why?"

I disagree with Carlson saying that it's because Trump defeated Hillary in 2016, or as he put it — "For stealing (her) coronation." 

He should have explained that longstanding US plans call for transforming all sovereign independent nations into US vassal states — especially Russia, China and other resource rich ones.

Washington's agenda is all about achieving unchallenged global dominance by whatever it takes to achieve its diabolical aims.

Along with Pelosi, Schumer, Durbin, Hoyer, Clyburn and others, Schiff is "one of the prime movers of" US proxy war on Russia.

Why do most Republicans support what risks possible global war between the world's dominant nuclear powers if push things too far?

That's where things are heading if cooler heads in Washington don't go all out to stop the madness — what hasn't happened so far.

According to undemocratic Dem Rep. Jason Crow:

"We are not interested in stalemates." 

"We are not interested in going back to the status quo."

Hegemon USA "is in this to win, and we will stand with Ukraine until victory is won (sic)" — even if the price is destroying planet earth and all its life forms, according to his mindset.  

Carlson correctly called him a "buffoon."

Most others in Congress are likeminded on all things Russia and other US invented enemies.

And this from mad dog Pelosi:

Hegemon USA's "fight" in Ukraine is a "fight" to continue until it's "done (sic)."

Is this what most Americans want from their congressional representatives?

Forever war to more greatly empower and enrich the nation's ruling class?

"This is the most reckless foreign policy in our lifetimes, in American history," according to Carlson, and I agree.

"You are watching a group of decadent, in some cases senile leaders, casually dismiss the consequences of going to war with nuclear-armed (Russia), dismiss the consequences of nuclear war, like it's not even worth thinking about, but it is worth thinking about," Carlson added.

Sergey Lavrov was right, warning about the risk of nuclear war.

Calling the danger "serious…real," he stressed that the threat "cannot be underestimated."

Russia's nuclear policy was clearly stated.

If attacked by a foreign power, its security and survival greatly jeopardized, Russia will use whatever weapons it has in its arsenal to protect the nation and its people.

Carlson left unexplained that Russian super-weapons exceed the best in the West.

Its hypersonic capabilities can strike anyone with nuclear or convention warheads with precision accuracy.

Its ballistic and cruise missiles can avoid interception by US air defense systems.

If one or more of its cities are attacked, especially with nukes, Russia can retaliate by incinerating New York, Washington, Chicago, Los Angeles and/or other US cities.

Because of a real threat to its security by hegemon USA, Vladimir Putin put Russia's nuclear forces on high alert.

Not for preemptive war. That's not how Russia operates.

It's advance preparation to retaliate against US aggression if occurs.

What's unthinkable is very possible because of what's going on and where things may be heading.

Dominant hardliners in Washington are so hellbent to harm Russia, they're apparently willing to risk nuclear war to achieve their diabolical aims.

On Thursday, Carlson correctly called the Biden regime "an unparalleled disaster."

In "15 months," its recklessness caused shortages of vital goods, sent inflation soaring to the highest level in 75 years, let millions of undocumented aliens enter the country illegally, and risks nuclear war with Russia.

Its recklessness wrecked the country more than already after undemocratic Dems usurped power by brazen election fraud.

The fake Biden, masquerading as dementia Joe, appears mindless about what's going on and the danger it represents — while falsely blaming the dismal state of the nation on Russia.

Reading lines scripted for him to recite days earlier, he insulted the US electorate by calling non-supporters the nation's biggest threat. 

If vote for GOP candidates, not undemocratic Dem ones in November midterm election, you're supporting MAGA "extrem(ists) (sic)," he dubiously claimed.

A pox on both right wings of the US war party.

A new independent one is badly needed — along with vibrant indymedia support — for shifting the nation in a new direction before we're all doomed.
