Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts
In one sense the Ukraine conflict is over. In another sense it is dangerously expanding.
Biden and Putin are taking the path to nuclear war. Biden by providing long range missiles to Ukraine, and Putin by refusing to use sufficient force to bring the conflict to an end before it spins out of control.
To again repeat my warning, by allowing the war to drag on, Putin is inviting more provocations and more dangerous provocations. Putin’s way of fighting the conflict has cost far more lives than a quick and total military victory which would have been over before Western involvement could be organized.
The Kremlin should have seen the Maidan Coup in the works and stopped it. Failing this, the Kremlin should have accepted the request of Donbass in 2014 to be reincorporated into Russia like Crimea. Instead, the Kremlin sat on its hands for 8 years with a totally unrealistic belief in the Minsk Agreement while the US built an army for Ukraine, the Kremlin itself making little, if any, preparation.
When the Kremlin finally was forced to intervene in Donbass, the bulk of the fighting was done by a small private military force, the leader of which was disgusted by the Kremlin’s defeatist restraint. Putin broke up this superb fighting force, and its leader died in a suspicious airplane crash.
It seems the Kremlin is always caught off guard and unprepared. This is a certain road to nuclear war.

Will Netanyahu Bring Down Biden?

WRONG……………….PCR……………Putin is trying to prevent a nuke war.
Its the KIKES who usurped the US federal government who want world war 3.
But not the KIKES in the Kremlin?
The democrats really do want to kill you.
Yup
President Putin and the Kremlin do not want to kill Ukrainian civilians as they are considered historically Russian. This is basically a civil-war of sorts going on. The Russian military could have easily carpet bombed Kiev and ended the war in a matter of days at the cost of killing hundreds of thousands of civilians, but fortunately they do not think like America or England.
What will happen is a reuniting of most of the land back into Russia’s fold, which seems to be forgotten already that a big part has already voted to do. They will be rebuilt back, and the US will degenerate even lower.
Somebody needs to ask Lloyd Austin.
Austin?
Austin?
Austin?
Half of the Kremlin isn’t ‘historically Russian’
Wow, if this is true it is all over but the nuclear fallout. This is pure insanity. Putin must be shaking his head thinking US must really want WW3. Did Congress approve this? I have not seen this anywhere. I saw the F-16 stories which are scary enough. I totally disagree that the Kremlin is caught off guard and unprepared. The Kremlin is trying to avoid nuclear war. The US is the aggressor. Kremlin has been trying to resolve the Ukraine crisis for decades with the US. The US keeps this war going. It’s amazing how most Americans are not cognizant of the thousands of Afghans and Iraqis that were killed by USA in the name of democracy. Preserving democracy for USA has moved to Ukraine, only problem is Russia is not some third world shat hole. This is serious ladies and gentlemen and most American sheeple are clueless.
Not reported on is how the MIC of many countries are milking the Ukraine scam for all its worth. They all want the war to last as long as possible.
