Finding reasons behind the US support for war in Ukraine

Biden Administration could have avoided pushing Ukraine into war in the first place by not inviting Russian immediate neighbor to join NATO, but it chose the war. Many are of the view that it was not for any love for the people of Ukraine.

Is it because it is a country populated by white people? In 1994, President Clinton did nothing while genocide of Tutsi ethnic Rwandans was going on in Rwanda resulting in the deaths of some 500,000 to 662,000. Was that utter neglect because those were black people?

Or is it because there is a considerable number of Ukrainians living in the United States who would vote for Biden’s reelection in 2024?

Or is it because usually a war president gets reelected?

Or was it that Biden wanted to look “macho”, a president who cowed down Russia?

Or are Biden administration and the Pentagon pursuing the policy suggested by recent Rand Corporation thesis to break up Russia by weakening it by this brutal war?

Or are he and the democrats paying back the ‘defense’ contractors—for their donations to the Democrats during elections-- with billions of dollars in profit by this war?

The Rand Corporation’s April 2019 article on Russia recommends that we should overextend and weaken Russia by directly addressing its vulnerabilities, anxieties, and strengths, exploiting areas of its weakness while undermining Russia’s current advantages.

Further it states that “Russia’s greatest vulnerability, in any competition with the United States is its economy.” It seems the reason; United States has embarked upon provoking Russia to invade Ukraine.

United States is using double edged sword: 1) weakening Russia militarily by this proxy war and 2) weakening Russia economically by brutal sanctions ever imposed on a country.

The US administration government has doled out more than US$54 billion in arms and other categories. It is anticipated that more will come as the war drags on.

These billions in donation to Ukraine, a country that is 9,181 kilometers away from the United States and has no strategic value to the United States.

These billions are not coming from president or politicians; this is taxpayers’ money. The taxpayers must ask the government, why to donate such huge amounts to a country which has done nothing for America?

President Biden’s son, Hunter Biden supposedly made US$11 million from 2013 to 2018, being made member of Board of Directors of Ukraine gas company, Burisma, though he had no knowledge of gas production, refining or transportation.

Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Michell McConnel, Jill Biden and others went and paid visit to Zelensky and his wife. Why so much love and respect for Ukraine and its president?

The US provocation of Russia resulting in this brutal but avoidable war will go down in history as one the most irresponsible and reckless act committed by the United States, a foreign policy blunder that could trigger a nuclear war between Russia and the United States.
