It is not often that amidst disaster and deceit, there emerges new validation for a truth that is as old or perhaps older than our republic. After more than seventy-five consecutive years of almost constant and always lost wars, the U.S. government has shown all of its citizens that it has grown to love war more than anything else. This love blooms because, win or lose, the regime of the day in Washington, its allies among politicians, bankers, industrialists, arms-makers, media outlets, quack flag officers, and gangs of anti-American U.S. citizens — Biden, Necons, Israel-Firsters, the ADL, the SPLC, etc. — will enjoy greatly increased illicit incomes over the Ukraine war’s course, and the republic again will be weakened by defeat, loss of international respect and influence, a mind-numbing debt that was increased by printing c. $100 billion for Ukraine, and the pleasure of having the American elite’s historical ignorance, lack of humanity pure greed, and utter fecklessness minutely described in the worldwide media.
The revelation of this truth, ironically, emanated from a country – Ukraine – that never attacked the United States, was of no material or political interest to the United States, could not even pretend to be democratic or part of the now gangster-ruled West, and served only criminal purposes; namely, to act as a nation-sized playpen in which the Democrats, some Republicans, and the donors of both could launder money; deal in and vastly profit, from the trafficking of narcotics, humans, and international gun-runners. The latter, at least, has the great merit of beginning the rearmament of European citizens against the EU leaders now set on freezing them to death this winter. Finally, there is the simple theft by NATO flag officers, U.S. and EU diplomats, and U.S. and EU leaders of an unknown amount of taxpayer funds that have been sent, but not accounted for, to Ukraine’s Nazi government.
Each of these are standard activities for the U.S. government and its freak-ladden State Department and Pentagon in many of the world’s nations, but Ukraine was unique in the sense that it also presented a good chance for another pointless, U.S.-started war, this one against Russia. The American governing elite expected that such a war would yield both more ill-gotten gains and perhaps even some control of Russia’s enormous energy, gold, and diamond reserves. There was, of course, no need to win.
Simply fight for as long as the local pickings were plentiful and then withdraw from Ukraine after bleeding the Russians in terms of money and manpower through the use of our Ukrainian cannon fodder, the silent presence of U.S. Special Forces – how many have been killed or maimed so far, Joe? – and various Western-assisted assassinations In Russia and the destruction of Russian ships, pipelines, bridges, and other targets. After departing the scene of their crimes, Washington and its NATO vassals would simply sweet talk Moscow into letting the United States help Russia economically recover by sending all kinds of economic, agricultural, banking, and many other kinds of experts to help.
In other words, follow the well-honed Bush senior-Clinton model of sending every ravenous U.S. industrialist, banker, economist, and investor to steal, lease, or buy for pennies on the dollar anything that was worth having in the post-Soviet USSR. History always repeats itself.
But Putin got in the way of history. He took Crimea – historically part of Russia – before NATO could slip the always criminal Ukraine regime into the nest of thieves called NATO, and then post U.S. and NATO naval ships in Crimean ports. Putin again played history for a fool, by seeking a peace deal – how dare you?!, to quote Greta – with gangsters in Ukraine and the NATO thugs by demanding nothing more than recognizing the facts on the ground; by demanding that Ukraine not enter the EU and NATO; and by securing a guarantee that, at long last, the U.S. would stop moving U.S. and NATO military facilities ever closer to Russia’s western border. From 2014 until late February 2022, Putin’s offered deal lay on the table, and was discussed, but was never concluded.
During these years, the United States built more than forty chemical weapons laboratories in Ukraine; together with NATO and the EU, it overthrew a pro-Russian government in Kiev; and – most important – created a regime in Kiev that would do their bidding without question if the cash spigot was opened.
Having built this foundation, they began to milk that country of everything valuable, and established money-laundering, drug, human, and gun smuggling networks in Ukraine to produce mountains of cash for U.S. and Western leaders and their retainers. In other words, the U.S. and the West created in Ukraine a treasure trove for themselves and a life-or-death national security threat for Russia. Putin recognized it, for the umpteenth time, warned the West to desist, and when there was no such cessation, he sent the Russian military to make matters right.
Inexplicably, because the Russian president is generally the only adult on the geopolitical playing field, Putin appears to have been temporarily infected by a piece of the contemporary West’s fatal ignorance about war; namely, that wars must be fought and ended in victory in the shortest possible time no matter the cost to either side. For not having read the memoirs of Grant and Sherman or reviewed the U.S. Marines’ campaign in the Pacific, Putin’s invasion was not fast, hard, and deadly to whatever extent necessary, but slow and punch-pulling and after months of war, Russia was still far short of victory.
Faced with no chance of a quick win, Putin slowed the war and then — perhaps remembering the modus operandi of The Great Patriotic War — substantially expanded the dimensions of Russia’s mobilization, began to systematically destroy war-vital infrastructure, and built a larger and better-trained force and named for it a new overall commander. He instilled in both the force and its commander the fact that short, victorious wars require the application of ruthless and annihilating military power. This Grant-Sherman-U.S. Marines – and, to be fair Stalinist — truism, of course, is well known by U.S. and Western leaders, but it is a truth they have ignored in the wars they have fought since 1945 in order to harvest the fabulous illicit wealth than can be criminally accrued by the favored few willing to wage endless and always lost wars. Putin now seems to have his head on straight, and one must hope the Ukrainians and their effete Western backers will soon find they have hell to pay.
The most dangerous aspect of the Ukraine war for the American republic is not just massive additions to all already uncountable debt, but events there that provide the substance of continuous distraction that is being used by Biden, his fellow gangsters, and their hired media outlets. As long as they can keep the citizenry focused on Ukraine, they can continue conducting the UN-WEF’s campaign to replace the native U.S. population with Third-World detritus, none of which has an acquaintance with liberty and the demands it makes on individuals to obey the law and behave in a way conducive to cohesion.
These incoming, law-breaking foreigners are not schooled in freedom, liberty, and personal responsibility, but they are skilled veterans at using crime and corruption to exist under their corrupt socialist/fascist/communist governments. In regard to replacement operations, even an utterly wasteful, useless, and losing war such as that in Ukraine is golden. It allows America’s bipartisan political mobsters to try to overwhelm and then eradicate native-born, legitimate, law-abiding, and hardworking Americans of all races.
After all, people like the Bushes, the Obamas, the Clintons, and the Biden’s have never worked a day in their lives, are used to having forelock-pulling personal staffs to do their bidding, and reliably chirp “Brilliant, genius leader” whenever they speak. These illegal aliens are precisely the kind of ass-kissing, corrupt, liberty-ignorant, violent-when-necessary, and government-dole-loving people that Biden is allowing to flood the republic and replace Americans loyal to their country, families, fellow citizens, faiths, and Constitution.
All of this leaves loyal Americans with no choice but to follow Marine Major-General Smedley Butler’s brilliant and always pertinent advice, “There are only two things worth fighting for. One is the defense of our homes, and the other is the Bill of Rights.”
Major-General Butler concluded his statement by reminding Americans that “War for any other cause is simply a racket.” [1] As noted above, the Ukraine war, and each of the U.S. wars since 1945, have been what any American with commonsense would define as a “racket,” executed to enrich the American political elite and its donors, as well as to satisfy the power lust of world’s great Nazi-like, predatory, and non-elected organizations, such as the UN, the EU, the WEF, and the World Bank.
As a last thought, perhaps we should go, Major-General Butler, one better, and use all means at hand to eliminate the racketeers wherever they can be found and definitively foundered.
