The war over Ukraine has entered its third year and there are many versions as to why it started and why it won’t easily end, unless US can make a tidy profit from it. The recent show down of Ukraine’s President Zelensky and the US leadership in the White House was unprecedented and shocking. The end result was that America is going to stall its financial and military support for Ukraine. Having spoiled Ukraine for choice, the Biden -Trump regime now says that Kyiv must do what the US says! And if it doesn’t, then the Europeans would have to pay for Ukraine’s defence. This has led to the London meeting of European heads of government, who have vowed to raise their defence spending substantially. Apparently, their fear of Russia is bigger than bankruptcy !
Many of us know that having taken the Gulf countries to war in Iraq in 1990, the US made a profit from arms sales while the smaller economies are still repaying their debts. The US knows how to drag even its allies into a war and get them to pay for it! An eminent political scientist in the US, Prof John J Mearshimer says that the US pushed Russia into a conflict in Ukraine. Why? Because more countries would join NATO ( fearing Russia), and here are the reasons why the US wanted the war to drag on.
The US is a military industrial complex and wants wars to service its arms industry. Much of America’s influence across the world – since the world wars – is because of the wars it fought for democracies and the made a fortune by promising military aid and arms sales.
Senator Robert F Keneddy (of the Keneddy clan) has now said that “Russia tried repeatedly to settle their differences on terms that were very very beneficial to the US…even granted the US a major thing the US wanted, i.e to keep the big military contractors to add new countries to NATO all the time, why doesn’t that country hasn’t conformance military purchases and they don’t meet weapons specifications which means certain companies like Northrup Grumman and General Dynamics and Lockheed Martin all want to supply more arms to those in the NATO gravy train. This was $113 billion dollars of arms purchases.
That’s enough to create housing for all of the people in the US…and then we’ve committed another $ 24 billion since that 2 months ago; and now with the present violence President Biden is asking for another 60 billion dollars to hand over to Ukraine…to rebuild all the things the war has destroyed. But Mitch McConnell (an eminent US personality), was asked, can we really afford to spend $10 to $13 billion in Ukraine? And he said don’t worry, it’s going to American defense contractors. It’s a loan. Raise your hand if you think that that loan is never getting paid back of course it’s not so why do they call it a loan? It is that they call it a loan they can impose on loan conditions and what are the loan conditions that we have to impose on the anti-Russian alliance. The unwritten message is that: ‘if you support Ukraine you’re going to be poor forever.’
Its most important to understand that Ukraine has to put a whole of its government’s assets up for sale to multinational corporations including all its agricultural land the biggest single asset in Europe… which is the world’s bread basket in Europe… and then in December President Biden gave out the contract … for Ukraine’s assets … which is meant to keep us hating on each other. Thank you to America’s republicans and democrats fighting each other in black against white and all these divisions that they create.”
However, the shabby treatment meted out to President Zelensky whom President Trump called a dictator, should come as a wakeup call to India. Not only will the US abandon its allies, but Washington will overlook a territorial aggression like Russia’s in Ukraine (and maybe China’s in Leh -Ladakh) if its acclaimed friend doesn’t fall in line. Is India aware of what can follow?. As it was once said: The US, like other big powers, has no permanent friends. Only its permanent interests. Tensions between Russia & China led to a short border war in 1969 until peace prevailed. Today, their story is different.
