At LewRockwell.com, Karen Kwiatkowski examines America’s (i.e. the globalist establishment power brokers who run the United States) real goals in Ukraine. She writes:
US state media – the NYT, WP, NPR, and the main TV news corporations – cautiously broaches topics they refused to touch a year ago. We are learning that Nazi and racist ideologies are popular in Ukraine. We now know the US state department, with German and other EU and NATO assistance, schemed against Russia when they signed on the Minsk agreement in 2014, a noble lie in the neocon fashion. We know, from mainstream media that the so-called Ukraine spring counteroffensive has begun, after much US and NATO urging, and is failing at every turn, at a great cost.
We are now allowed to see glimpses of the dwindling Ukrainian population, and with it, their economy. Indirectly, we understand that there is a growing desperation in Kiev – for money, for weapons, for NATO and EU membership. The actions of the Ukrainian army and its leadership, attacking Moscow with drones, raids into Belarus, attempts to cause nuclear contamination in Eastern Europe though attacks and sabotage of their own Ukrainian nuclear power stations and major dams are being noted. While I believe Seymour Hersh on who did Nordstream, the convenient story of a heroic team of Uke divers doing the job had a valid purpose, to provide the Ukrainian voter with a ray of hope and heroism.
That is, if they still had voters in Ukraine.
The casual observer of this war, 17 months in, notes physical and emotional exhaustion, and political desperation. The orgasmic excitement expressed by US death cult in Washington the last Saturday in June was revealing. Not of their various “goals” in Ukraine, or their fanatical Russia-hate – but that their long dry spell is beginning to make even neocons desperate for a bit of “good news.”
Neocon war is unpopular, ugly, venal. Worst of all, it is unsuccessful – meaning instead of ending in triumph and celebration, it persists as a confusing, contradictory and costly problem multiplier. We’ve seen this before. Neocons are the Dylan Mulvaneys of American politics, albeit with less sincerity and self-awareness. When it’s your influence that has destroyed the effectiveness of and any residual honor in US foreign policy for the past 70 years, as well as bankrupting the nation – the writing is on the wall.
