Biden sending weapons, prolonging war
President Joseph Biden is not interested, or seems to be incapable, of pushing for peace in Ukraine, making it even more difficult to reach a ceasefire. To make matters worse, Zelensky is nothing more than a puppet subject to U.S. pressure and that of the neo-Nazi groups in Ukraine, no matter how much they try to sell him to us as a great hero of the homeland. Apparently, the occupant of the White House is clinging to an eventual boost that the image of the great leader of the “free world”, hastily built by the media machine since the conflict with Moscow worsened at the end of last year, due to Washington’s reluctance to even consider their security demands, and reinforced since the beginning of the war, could provide him with to his flagging popularity.
On the other hand, there is no doubt that many legislators of both parties, oiled with funds from the big arms companies, often shareholders of the big media, are demanding a firm hand with Putin from Biden. Incidentally, the Russophobic and warmongering hysteria cultivated by these media and the so-called social networks is unprecedented in recent decades. Moreover, it is in Washington’s geostrategic interests to prolong hostilities in the Slavic country and thus consolidate the shameful political subordination of Europe, which this war has taken to unimaginable extremes. The last thing the US would want is to see it united and with an independent foreign and defense policy, which would eventually turn it into a global player capable of reaching agreements on its own with Russia and China.
Weakening Moscow, and, consequently Beijing, and perpetuating Europe as a vassal political unit bound by NATO are fundamental strategic objectives of Washington in this war. What, if not, is sought with the torrent of weaponry flowing uncontainably into Ukraine, the almost daily rounds of illegal sanctions on Russia and the ferocious media lynching, particularly of President Vladimir Putin, but also of all things Russian?
Regarding the likelihood of Biden pushing for a ceasefire, retired U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor, a professor of strategy and author of five books, notes, President Biden is probably reluctant to support a cease-fire that would expose him to vicious attacks from senators of both parties. He adds, Biden’s strident hate speech toward President Vladimir Putin and the Russian state makes it difficult, if not impossible, to support any cease-fire that would leave Russia in control of anything in Ukraine. The same is true, the colonel adds, for any eventual agreement that recognizes Russia, at the very least, in control of its security interests in eastern Ukraine. One would hope that Macgregor is totally wrong, for with the dependence of European leaders on Washington and the latter’s attitude of continuing to add fuel to the fire in Ukraine, there is very little room left to find the longed-for negotiated solution to this war between brotherly peoples.
On the other hand, the biased and unbalanced gringo resolution agreed in the UN General Assembly, instead of creating a favorable climate for peace, as some believed, instead what it did was to favor warmongering hysteria and further undermine international law. It is remarkable that China, India, Iran, Pakistan, Vietnam, South Africa, Cuba, Bolivia, Nicaragua and twenty other countries abstained. They represent approximately half of the human race. It should be emphasized that Venezuela was unable to vote because this right was withdrawn on the grounds that it owes its contribution to the UN.
The enormous historical responsibility of Washington and its European partner in the unleashing of this painful conflict must be reiterated. I limit myself to quote a war criminal but recognized expert on strategic and geopolitical issues, Henry Kissinger himself, who warned 8 years ago about the centrality of Ukraine for Russia: The West must understand that for Russia Ukraine can never be a foreign country. Russian history begins in what was called Kievan Rus. From there the Russian religion spread. Ukraine has been part of Russia for centuries and its histories have been interspersed since before then. Many of the most important battles for Russian freedom, including that of Poltava in 1709 were fought on Ukrainian soil. The Black Sea Fleet, Russia’s means of projecting power in the Mediterranean, is based, on long-term lease, in Sevastopol, Crimea. Even famous dissidents, such as Alexander Solchenityin and Joseph Brodsky insisted that Ukraine was an integral part of Russian history and, by the way, of Russia.( https://wapo.st/3qbkQPQ).
