I am pleased to share with readers an article by Finian
Cunningham stating that the proxy war in Ukraine is an imperialist adventure
that has been financially ruinous, has destroyed Ukraine, and is driving a
dangerous all-out war with Russia and China that could turn into a nuclear
Armageddon.
It has
become patently obvious to the world that the conflict in Ukraine is a dirty
and desperate geopolitical confrontation, despite massive Western media efforts
to portray it as something else more noble – the usual charade of chivalry and
virtue to disguise naked Western imperialism.
The death and destruction in Ukraine is nothing but a proxy
war by the United States and its NATO partners to defeat Russia in a strategic
gambit. But the unspoken objective does not end with Russia. The US and its
Western imperialist lackeys are driven to push for confrontation with China
too.
As if
taking on Russia is not reckless enough! The Western powers want to double down
on their warmongering with China. This is all because the underlying impetus is
for Washington and its Western minions to promote US-led dominance of the
global order. Russia and China are the main obstacles to that path of would-be
dominance, and hence we see this manic drive for aggression stemming from
Washington, the executive power of the Western order.
It should be obvious that while the U.S.-led NATO axis has
stoked the war in Ukraine to calamitous heights, this same axis is wantonly
inciting tensions with China. This observation alone should be enough to
condemn the criminality of Western powers.
This week saw the NATO powers deliver depleted uranium
weapons to the Kiev regime, while the United States announced that it would be
docking submarine nuclear warheads in South Korea, a move that infuriated China
which pointed out that Washington was violating decades-old commitments to
denuclearize the Korean Peninsula.
Of course, such perverse provocation is par for the course
as far as Washington is concerned. It is done deliberately in a conscious
effort to exacerbate tensions and escalate militarism.
Peace and security are anathemas to the US and its minions
whose whole ideological raison d’être is to aggravate war to gratify corporate
capitalist addiction – a system that is increasingly bankrupt and
dysfunctional, and hence the insane desperation for craving war-fixes.
In a scathing speech to the United Nations
Security Council this week, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov asserted
that the conflict in Ukraine cannot be properly resolved without an
understanding of the geopolitical context. In other words, the war in the
former Soviet republic which erupted last February has bigger causes than what
the Western powers and their compliant news media would try to pretend otherwise.
These are some of the laughable claims made by Washington
and its allies. One only has to consider the decades of total trashing of the
UN Charter and democratic principles by the United States and its rogue
partners in their pursuit of criminal wars to realize that their
virtue-signaling over Ukraine is a vile joke.
Lavrov’s address to the Security Council was a stunning
rebuke of the hypocrisy and criminality of the United States, Britain, France,
Germany and other NATO powers, as well as the European Union.
His speech was akin to the scene in the classic old
movie The Wizard of Oz when the curtain was pulled back on the
buffoonish villain for all to see.
Any objective observer would agree with the Russian foreign
minister’s excoriating survey of modern history and why the war in Ukraine has
tragically manifested. Lamentably, if we fail to understand history and the
real causes of conflicts, then we are condemned to repeat the horrors.
Western
leaders have at times revealed the bigger geopolitical agenda with their own
misspoken arrogant words. US President Joe Biden had previously blurted out a
call for regime change in Moscow while his senior aides, Secretary of State
Antony Blinken and Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin, have succumbed to the
intoxication of their narcissism and hubris by saying that the purpose of the
war in Ukraine is the defeat of Russia.
Other NATO senior figures, such as the stupid, conceited
Polish leaders and their Baltic buddies, have also come out and stated that the
war’s ulterior agenda is to vanquish Russia. The fascist skeletons of their
Nazi-collusion past have resurrected their deathly rattles, uncontrollably.
As Lavrov’s address to the Security Council intimates, the
systematic violation of the UN Charter by the United States and its Western
partners is a deplorable continuation of the Nazi fascism and imperialist
barbarism that was supposed to have been defeated in World War Two. The
culmination of the constant, unbridled Western imperialist criminality and its
state terrorism is the current war in Ukraine and the growing aggression toward
China over Taiwan as a pretext.
In all
of this, woefully, the Western public has been flagrantly lied to by their
governments and media as to the real nature of the war in Ukraine. American and
European citizens have been bilked for hundreds of billions of dollars to prop
up a Nazi regime in Kiev whose function is to act as a NATO spear-tip against
Russia, and ultimately China when the NATO powers feel they are done with Ukraine,
the latter is a futile ambition, as is becoming increasingly evident.
Journalists
and antiwar activists in the West who highlight the malfeasance over Ukraine
are sacked, vilified, censored, or sanctioned into poverty, or even imprisoned.
Nevertheless, the Western public and the rest of the world
are increasingly becoming aware of the odious charade. By definition, charades
are inevitably untenable.
The Global South – the majority of the 193 nations at the UN
– has had it with Western capitalist hegemony and its outrageous neocolonialist
privileges.
The incremental dumping of the US dollar as an international
reserve currency for trade is a testament to the historic shift towards a
multipolar order in defiance of Western unipolar elitism.
The nations of Africa, Latin America and Asia understand
that the US-led NATO war in Ukraine is a desperate last-ditch bid to preserve
an imperialist global order which should have been eradicated after World War
Two with the establishment of the United Nations, but which, regrettably, was
not.
The root cause of imperialism is the AngloAmerican-led
Western capitalist order. The end of World War Two, as with World War One, was
but a pause in the historical killing machine.
It is
now increasingly evident in the light of leaked documents from the
Pentagon that the war in Ukraine is a disaster. The Kiev regime is facing
defeat at the hands of superior Russian forces even though that regime has been
flooded with weapons by the United States and NATO. Great expectations of a
Ukrainian victory that were widely predicted by Western leaders and media have
been shown to be empty, contemptible lies.
The side-show of this war is a gargantuan racket. Western
arms companies have raked in unprecedented profits, while the NATO-backed cabal
in Kiev has skimmed off hundreds of millions of dollars. This is the
same Kiev regime that is burning down Orthodox Christian churches,
exterminating the Russian language, lionizing World War Two Nazi criminals, and
locking up any critical opposition and media.
The
main takeaway is the lies that the United States and Western lackeys, including
the entire media industry, have been telling about the proxy war in Ukraine.
This war is an imperialist adventure that has been financially ruinous, has
destroyed Ukraine, and is driving a dangerous all-out war with Russia and China
that could turn into a nuclear armageddon.
We should not be surprised by such blatant lying and
deception. President Joe Biden and his administration have been telling
barefaced lies to conceal the corruption oozing out of Biden’s own family.
Biden and his son Hunter have exploited Ukraine since the CIA-backed coup in
Kiev in 2014 for personal enrichment. The president has even reportedly got
his senior aides to do his bidding to censor intelligence agencies and media
from revealing to the public the corruption at the heart of his family.
The lies that Biden and his administration tell about
personal corruption are indelibly coupled with the lies told about the proxy
war in Ukraine.
It is
increasingly clear that the American public, the European public, and the rest
of the world have been duped in multiple ways. The phony war in Ukraine is
exposing the deep, stinking well of corruption in this White House.
