Republican lawmakers to Biden: no more ‘unrestrained aid’ to Ukraine | Res Statecraft

Well, perhaps 1 American life, perhaps even more than a dozen, if the rumours that there are a few American military personnel in Ukraine is true. But I think that beyond that, no.

Well considering that there are persistent rumors that there are 20,000 Polish in Ukrainian uniform maybe more than one European as well....
 
Sad but true.

I was listening to someone the other day saying that the Russians have a deep affinity for the Ukrainian people, that they are heartbroken over what has come to pass, but the Americans demanded it and the Ukrainians were stupid enough to be lap dogs for the failing Americans...something like that..
 
What I find so sad is that had the U.S. not helped instigate a coup of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych back in 2014, none of this would have happened. I think that future historians will place a lot of the blame for this conflict on the interests of American elites, to the detriment of everyone else.

I am not sure that the word "helped" belong here....reality was more along the lines of "did".

Most of the world has decided that America was wrong....a lot of the world has decided that it is time for American power to be cancelled.
 
Every legislator got an offer from the war machine that they couldn't refuse and will get in line for perpetual war. That's what empires do.

Biden has worked to prolong the war. Where is the air support fot Ukraine. Where is our nave firing tomahawks from our ships. We could do many things without boots on the ground. Biden is useless as commander in chief.. Biden is not a leader he follows what other Nato countries do first

Poorly conceived expensive in gold lives and reputation military adventures is a common last gasp of empires.

Which is where we are....over but almost no Americans can see it yet.
 
The Russians with full Chinese support are getting ready to march to the Polish border (or at least the Dnieper), because this is what we demand.
 
MacGregor says that the reason the Russian have not taken out the bridges over the Dnieper is because they very well might want to use them.

I took a look at some more evidence on the matter, and it does appear that you're right. From an article I just found:

**
Clearly, Victoria Nuland, U.S. President Barack Obama’s central agent overseeing the coup, at least during the month of February 2014 when it climaxed, was crucial not only in overthrowing the existing Ukrainian Government, but in selecting and installing its rabidly anti-Russian replacement. The 27 January 2014 phone-conversation between her and America’s Ambassador in Ukraine, Jeffrey Pyatt was a particularly seminal event, and it was uploaded to youtube on 4 February 2014. I have discussed elsewhere that call and its significance. Nuland there and then abandoned the EU’s hope for a still democratic but less corrupt future government for Ukraine, and Nuland famously said, on that call “Fuck the EU,” and she instructed Pyatt to choose instead the rabidly anti-Russian, and far-right, Arseniy Yatsenyuk. This key event occurred 24 days before Ukraine’s President Victor Yanukovych was overthrown on February 20th, and 30 days before the new person to head Ukraine’s Government, Yatsenyuk, became officially appointed to rule the now clearly fascist country. He won that official designation on February 26th. However, this was only a formality: Obama’s agent had already chosen him, on January 27th.

The second landmark item of evidence that it had been a coup and nothing at all democratic or a ‘revolution’, was the 26 February 2014 phone-conversation between the EU’s Foreign Minister Catherine Ashton and her agent in Ukraine investigating whether the overthrow had been a revolution or instead a coup; he was Estonia’s Foreign Minister, Urmas Paet, and he told her that he found that it had been a coup, and that “somebody from the new coalition” had engineered it — but he didn’t know whom that “somebody” was.

[snip]

The network behind this coup had actually started planning for the coup back in 2011. That’s when Eric Schmidt of Google, and Jared Cohen, also now of Google but still continuing though unofficially as U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s chief person tasked to plan ‘popular movements’ to overthrow both Yanukovych in Ukraine, and Assad in Syria.

Then, on 1 March 2013, the implementation of this plan started: the first “tech camp” to train far-right Ukrainians how to organize online the mass-demonstrations against Yanukovych, was held inside the U.S. Embassy in Kiev on that date, which was over nine months before the Maidan demonstrations to overthrow Ukraine’s democratically elected President started, on 20 November 2013.

The American scholar Gordon M. Hahn has specialized in studying the evidence regarding whom the actual snipers were who committed the murders, but he focuses only on domestic Ukrainian snipers and ignores the foreign ones, who had been hired by the U.S. regime indirectly through Georgian, Lithuanian and other anti-Russian CIA assets (such as via Mikheil Saakashvili, the ousted President of Georgia whom the U.S. regime subsequently selected to become the Governor of the Odessa region of Ukraine).


[snip]

Hahn downplays U.S. heading of the coup. But shortly before the coup, the CIA secretly trained in Poland the Right Sector founder/leader Dmitriy Yarosh (“Dmytro Jarosz”), who headed Ukraine’s snipers. So, even the Ukrainian ones were working for the U.S.

On 19 November 2017 was issued Gian Micalessin’s “The hidden truth about Ukraine – Part 1”
. Summarizing them here: Two Georgian snipers say Saakashvili hired them in Tblisi for a U.S.-backed operation. But they know only about the “Georgian Legion” part. They think it was patterned on Georgia’s Rose Revolution. They each got $1000 for the operation and flew to Kiev on 15 January and were promised $5000 on return. (9:00) “We had to provoke the ‘Berkut’ police so they would attack the people. By February 15th the situation [at the Maidan] was getting worse every day. Then the first shots were fired.” It was February 15 or 16. Mamunashvili [Saakashvili’s man] introduced them to “an American military guy, … Brian Christopher Boyenger” a former “sniper for the 101st Airborne Division” who “after Maidan he went to Donbass” to fight in the “Georgian Legion” but during the coup-climax, the far-right Andriy “Parubiy came very often,” and “Brian always accompanied him” and also instructing there was Vladimir Parasyuk, one of the leaders of the Maidan.

You will find that I am right quite often. Thats what the education was for.
 
And the Russian economy is booming, the people are happy, and taking care of America once and for all is worth the sacrifice.

The Russian economy is not booming. Putin is proud of how much economic suffering they can take and not overthrow him, but that is not booming. The people are not happy. Refugees are streaming out. America is sacrificing nothing compared to Russia.
 
Agreed. Only it looks like the gravy train will be ending soon. It will become increasingly difficult to continue to pad the pockets of the military industrial complex now that it's becoming evidently clear that Ukraine is going to lose this war, and soon.

We keep hearing that the Russians will soon be winning the war, any day now. It has been a year and a half, and no sign that day will come, especially not soon.

Russia's only real hope for victory is if they can hold out for long enough for trump can become president. If that does not happen ini 2024, they will be forced to make a deal.
 
Taiwan is next in line. Legacy media can and will sell war to soccer moms. Remember the mushroom cloud as a smoking gun? Their kids were enlisting out of patriotic duty. Bookmark this page. Empire is desperate for WW3.

China is extremely risk adverse. They really do not want WWIII. Putin is the opposite of risk adverse. Not that he wants WWIII, but he is far more willing to take risks.

I cannot see China doing anything big about Taiwan in the next few years. It is too much risk.
 
Well considering that there are persistent rumors that there are 20,000 Polish in Ukrainian uniform maybe more than one European as well....

Hawkeye is willing to believe any "rumor" that Putin claims. Wouldn't someone notice Polish troops fighting and dying in Ukraine? Their families would notice, and Poland is now an EU country, so the rest of the world would be informed.
 
I was listening to someone the other day saying that the Russians have a deep affinity for the Ukrainian people, that they are heartbroken over what has come to pass, but the Americans demanded it and the Ukrainians were stupid enough to be lap dogs for the failing Americans...something like that..

Putin does not even believe the Ukrainian People exist. He thinks any people who claim the Ukrainian People exist should be executed as traitors to the Russian People. This is as far from "deep affinity" as possible.
