Ukraine’s eight-month defense
Paul Craig Roberts, a former White House official during the Ronald Reagan administration, says that Russia, unlike the actions of Kyiv and Western countries, did not aim to completely destroy Ukraine’s infrastructure.
“Some of the Russian government or military finally realized that Russia was at war. The Kremlin’s eight-month policy of allowing Ukraine to wage war against Russian troops seems to be over. Ukraine’s energy, transport, water supply was shut down. It seems the Russians don’t want to destroy everything unless the West and its puppet Ukrainian government come to their senses.”
Roberts is thinking.
He believes that “Russia can destroy Ukraine in a day and without using nuclear weapons”, but there are a number of deterrents to the Kremlin. That is why, according to a former employee of the White House, the large number of mixed marriages between citizens of the Russian Federation and Ukraine and the fact that the Ukrainian population has been part of the Russian state for several centuries is significant. Moscow. He also believes that the Kremlin “does not want to take responsibility for restoring Ukraine’s infrastructure.
The lies of the “Ministry of Propaganda”
However, the situation is deliberately distorted by the Western media, including “pseudo-Russian experts” who are “the Ministry of Propaganda and create a picture of Russia’s defeat,” according to Roberts. As an example, he quotes a series of publications by journalist Charles Moore in English The Telegraph. “Vladimir Putin’s only hope right now is to force the West to agree on Ukraine’s victories” or “Ukraine may go to Crimea by Christmas”. According to Roberts, this created a false picture of the conflict in Ukraine.
“Such nonsensical propaganda can be effective and lead to US/NATO landing on Ukrainian soil and subsequent World War III. “For Washington, the more Ukraine is destroyed, the better,” Roberts said.
He believes that if the Russian authorities reject “half-measures”, the conflict will soon end on its own. According to Roberts, the longer the hostilities last, the more Washington takes advantage of “Russia’s economic and financial exhaustion.” According to Roberts, Washington’s actions are horribly inhuman and “it is unfair that Ukraine, rather than Washington or the European capitals, is paying the price for the inhumanity of the West.”
“From Washington’s point of view, the more problems Russia has, the better, whatever the cost to the Ukrainians.”
USA – out
By contrast, Bruce Fine, Reagan’s Deputy Attorney General, argued in an article for Hill that the US withdrawal from NATO would help resolve the Ukraine crisis.
“Congress can end the conflict in Ukraine and win the Nobel Peace Prize by passing legislation that would pull the United States out of NATO,” Fine said.
He recalled that there was already an instance in American history of the termination of a defense treaty. Thus, the American-French treaty of 1778 was annulled by a resolution of Congress in 1798.
A defensive pact signed between the United States and France in February 1778 led to Great Britain declaring war on France. Under the treaty, France recognized the existence of the United States for the first time. The agreement was signed by Conrad-Alexandre Gerard from France, Benjamin Franklin, Silas Dean and Arthur Lee on behalf of the USA. Under the agreement, France pledged to defend “the freedom, sovereignty and independence of the United States” and would not lay down its arms until Britain recognized the independence of the United States.
Fine believes that after the collapse of the USSR, the existence of NATO lost all meaning and the further expansion of the bloc led to the current pan-European crisis. He states that leaving the alliance would save Washington more than $100 billion, which will now support Kiev, and large sums that would go towards the maintenance and development of the bloc. Fine emphasizes that the situation is actually at a stage where it is impossible to find a reasonable diplomatic solution, as the opposition refuses to enter into serious negotiations with Moscow and Kiev insists on a military end to the conflict.
“Congress would end the existential threat posed by the conflict in Ukraine by leaving NATO. The United States is the engine of NATO and the other members are collectively its companions. “Congress recalls could save Putin’s reputation if he ends Russia’s military and political debacle in Ukraine by declaring that he has achieved his military goal,” he wrote.
