With friends like the USA who the f*ck needs an enemy?

With friends like the USA who the f*ck needs an enemy.

.

Empire News (The Guardian) is today reporting that:


  1. The U.S. is briefing NATO (itself) that the war in Ukraine ‘is a marathon – not a sprint’ and that the West will ‘stand with Ukraine for as long as it takes’.


  2. That NATO (the U.S.) is struggling with how to provide Ukraine with ‘security guarantees’ while it waits for Ukraine to complete its ascension to full membership of NATO.

  3. That the USA is now training Ukrainian pilots in F-16 fighter jets.

  4. That Russia’s nuclear rhetoric is ‘reckless and dangerous’

  5. That NATO’s secretary general Jens Stoltenberg has said that: ‘“The war in Ukraine just demonstrates the need to stand with Ukraine”
    .

.

To take these points in turn:


  1. This ‘marathon not a sprint’ chatter is an attempt to spin away the disastrous truth about Ukraine’s much heralded, oft delayed, tragically bloody and pointless ‘grand spring counter-offensive’ which is nothing more than a WW1 style meat grinder that is going nowhere fast. As NATO admitted yesterday, these ‘difficulties’ were known from the start which merely underlines how little the USA cares about Ukrainian casualties – looking ‘tough’ to China is all matters.


  2. The only way that NATO (the U.S.) can offer ‘security guarantees’ to Ukraine is to intervene directly in the war – a course of action which is the final escalator to a nuclear war with Russia that will kill us all.

  3.  Training Ukrainian pilots in F-16 fighter jets is another red-line crossed, another example of the reckless ‘gesture warfare’ that achieves nothing beyond the PR spin of another wonder weapon that will change everything (but never does).

  4. The actions and rhetoric of NATO (the U.S.) form been an unbroken litany of arrogant and reckless escalation towards a nuclear conflict that stretches back to its inception. NATO doesn’t solve any problem – it creates them time and time again.

  5. So Stoltenberg’s logic is that NATO’s wars are their own justification – which commits us all to two outcomes only (i) Total global U.S hegemony (ii) Endless war.
.

Where is the push back against this madness? Where is the anti-war left? Have we all just given up – cowered by the bullying propaganda? For God’s sake people – WAKE UP – these are the end times if we do not act very swiftly to stop this war in Ukraine.


Since 2013 I have worked on this Ad-Free site: trying to give a voice to those without the power or agency to speak out for themselves and speaking simple truths that well paid journalists in the corporate media dare not utter.

I am a home schooling parent on a low income – paying for the domain, web hosting and security entirely out of my own pocket.  

If you find this website useful and could spare us a few shillings to help keep our lights on, it would be very much appreciated.
