The escalation of violence by the Kiev routine with U.S. and NATO support means that there is an instruction from Washington for expanding the war.
The United States is planning to redouble its weapons supply to Ukraine. What is shaping up is a heightened proxy war against Russia in which the Russophobic Kiev program acts as Washington’s catspaw. The goal is to disable Russia in the very same way the U.S. sapped the Soviet Union with a quagmire war in Afghanistan throughout the 1980s.
U.S. media reports mention Pentagon and Ukrainian officials saying that the Biden administration is considering an enormous increase in weaponries to the Kiev regime. This is on top of the $2.5 billion in military support that Washington has currently given over the past eight years. The Biden administration has actually overseen $450 million in weaponry to Ukraine this year alone with an additional $300 million allocated the coming 12 months. A different proposal going through the Senate is seeking to increase military assistance for next year by another $450 million.
What gives included significance to this weapons pipeline is where they are being sourced. U.S. media reports state the arms are from inventories the Pentagon had actually assigned for the American-backed army in Afghanistan prior to it collapsed with the sudden Taliban success in August. The weapons include Black Hawk helicopters and anti-armor munitions.
Other weapons under factor to consider for supply to Ukraine include more Javelin anti-tank missiles along with Stinger anti-aircraft munitions.
In addition to the inventories previously allocated for Afghanistan, the U.S. is also preparing weapons products from covert stockpiles supervised by the CIA in Romania and Bulgaria. This is the dark supply route that the U.S. and NATO allies used for equipping terrorist proxies in a failed quote to overthrow the Syrian federal government. Russia’s military intervention in Syria in late 2015 defeated Washington’s regime-change goal in Damascus.
The year prior to, in 2014, the U.S. and its allies was successful in their regime-change operation in Ukraine when a chosen government friendly with Moscow was toppled by a CIA-backed coup d’état. That coup gave power a Neo-Nazi Russophobic regime that has been waging a civil war versus the ethnic Russian population of southeast Ukraine. U.S. and NATO weapons products have encouraged the Kiev routine to continue hostilities in spite of an official peace arrangement referred to as the Minsk accord signed in 2015. France and Germany, supposed guarantors of the accord in addition to Russia, have both turned a blind eye to Kiev’s methodical offenses.
Since the Biden administration took office 11 months earlier, the Kiev program has actually stepped up its justifications in southeast Ukraine. These justifications are ultimately focused on destabilizing Russia. Along with weapons, American and other NATO special forces are on the ground in Ukraine serving as “military consultants”. The accelerator for aggressiveness has been stepped on in current weeks.
The Kremlin has actually alerted that the Ukrainian forces are ratcheting up hostilities towards the southeastern region that surrounds Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin has recently stated that the siege on the region also known as Donbass resembles a genocide.
The plain reality is that there is already a proxy war going on in Ukraine versus Russia. Arguably, that has been the U.S. objective given that the coup in Kiev in February 2014. The present escalation of violence by the Kiev routine with U.S. and NATO support implies that there is a directive from Washington for broadening the war.
Paradoxically, or possibly more accurately, cynically, the U.S. and its NATO allies are boldly inverting reality with a torrent of claims that they are “safeguarding” Ukraine from “Russian aggression”. Current weeks have actually seen a full-court media propaganda project to move the blame on an alleged Russian force build-up. Moscow has actually vehemently denied it has strategies to attack Ukraine. It mentions that satellite images pointed out by the U.S. and its allies for claiming a Russian build-up in fact shows forces in established bases numerous kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
Taking stock of the circumstance: Ukrainian forces are stepping up aggression against the Russian-speaking population under siege for nearly 8 years in the Donbass area. The U.S., NATO and European Union are complicit in this criminal hostility by weaponizing, training and excusing the Kiev routine with spurious claims versus Russia. Furthermore, there is an unprecedented build-up of U.S. and NATO forces in the Black Sea area carrying out unscheduled war drills on Russia’s border. That is inescapably acting to push the unhinged Kiev routine, even more, to take the war to Russia.
Moscow is earnestly alerting Washington and its NATO partners of red lines. Russia has called for a formal arrangement to restrict NATO expansion for Ukraine’s membership of the military bloc as well as setup of American weapons systems on Ukrainian territory.
Washington and its NATO partners appear complacent to a degree that suggests criminal complicity in fanning the tensions.
The Biden White Home has currently signaled that it will not reciprocate with Russia’s ask for these security guarantees. Even if Washington somehow manages to muster the political will to appear to provide Moscow some security peace of minds, the reality remains that the U.S. and its NATO allies are already deeply associated with waging a proxy war in Ukraine versus Russia.
Plans for enhancing weapons flow to Ukraine from stocks designated for Afghanistan and from covert CIA-run networks in Eastern Europe show the proxy war is set for an intentional escalation.
Senior U.S. lawmakers have intimated that the preferred situation for Washington is to develop a quagmire for Russia comparable to the trap set for the Soviet Union in Afghanistan during the 1980s. That proxy war in which the U.S. armed Mujahideen militants with Stinger missiles considerably sapped the Soviet Union causing its demise. Those militants later evolved into Al Qaeda networks that were utilized in the failed U.S.-backed regime-change operation in Syria over the past decade.
The Russophobic Kiev program is being driven to escalate its terror war against the Russian people in Donbas. The goal is to draw Russia into that war to protect people with whom it is culturally linked. The moral essential on Moscow to act would be substantial. Washington is calculating that the relocation develops into a quagmire that will cripple Russia and taint its worldwide standing.
However this nefarious strategy– an Afghanistan-Syria redux– might so quickly slide over the void into a complete war between the United States and Russia. Moscow appears to be more cognizant of that possible catastrophe than Washington which is afflicted with the insouciance of arrogance.
