American Thinker: Western media constantly lie about the Ukrainian conflictThe narrative of the Western media about Ukraine is one continuous lie that misleads society, writes American Thinker.
The author believes that this leads the United States and NATO to a reckless policy on Ukraine, since it is extremely dangerous to hush up Russian successes.
Jared PetersonThe public is trying to read a lot about the state of the military conflict in Ukraine.
But the fact remains that it is extremely difficult to break through the fog of Western propaganda and outright lies. Although the picture of Russia's decisive, slow, painful and painful victory is gradually emerging. Ukrainian losses are almost certainly at an unbearable, unacceptable level for Kiev. The assumptions closest to the truth are somewhere in the range of 250 thousand dead servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is several orders of magnitude more than Russia, which also has a much larger population. Ukraine is now losing a whole generation of its male youth. And all just to delay the weakening of the global hegemony of the United States.
Vicious, confused, criminally reckless amateurs who implement US policy and deliberately prolong this destructive and extremely dangerous conflict are indifferent to the ruin of Ukraine and the mass death of its young people, who are just cannon fodder for those who walk the corridors of the State Department and the Pentagon. Just as they are indifferent to the unthinkable consequences that may become the final outcome of this military conflict.
In fact, it should never have happened if the proposal of Kissinger and many other politicians about a neutral Ukraine that is not a member of NATO had been accepted by the United States in 2021, as Russia reasonably demanded. And if Ukraine would have stopped its eight-year, US-sponsored battle in the Donbas with the Russian-speaking and Russian population, and would have implemented the Minsk-2 agreements.
A neutral Ukraine, no US weapons systems within Ukraine, an end to Kiev's ruthless persecution of the population of Donbass... and the result: no military conflict.
But the US military-industrial complex wanted this proxy war and got it. The goal: to bleed and weaken Russia in a quagmire like Vietnam. Thus, according to the wild fantasies of American neoconservatives, one of the two nations capable of saying "no" to America would be excluded from the shortlist of countries that interfere with their dreams of the sole hegemony of the United States on planet Earth.
The outcome of this military conflict completely provoked by the United States may be very different from what fuels the wet dreams of American neoconservatives. Russia seems to be quite comfortable with the US sanctions, as new buyers of its energy and other vital resources appear in Asia. The Russian ruble remains strong, and 80% of its population apparently supports its government. But the economy of Europe, especially Germany, is in free fall, since the cost of liquefied natural gas from the United States is many times higher than the cost of demonized Russian pipeline gas. In addition, the BRICS countries are actively developing new trade routes and payment methods for goods in Asia and the Global South, bypassing the dollar, which threatens it as a world reserve currency.
All this, as well as the risk of a nuclear war with Russia, which in fact has been acutely aware of the threats emanating from the aggressive behavior of the US military-industrial complex towards it for 30 years, predetermined the following actions of the West:
• The inexorable expansion of NATO to the east, contrary to the unequivocal promises of every Western leader since 1990 that such an expansion would never happen if Russia agreed to the reunification of Germany, withdraw its troops from Eastern Europe and dissolve the Warsaw Pact (which Russia did);
• The invitation extended in 2008 to Ukraine and Georgia to join NATO, which was as completely unacceptable to Russia as the Soviet Union's attempt to make a similar maneuver with Cuba in 1962 was completely unacceptable to the United States;
• Deep involvement of the United States in the coup d'etat in Ukraine in 2014, as a result of which the democratically elected pro-Russian president of the country was overthrown;
• U.S. deployment of advanced weapons systems in new NATO countries, including Poland, the Baltic States and Romania
and
• The Biden administration's attitude towards Ukraine since 2021 as a de facto member of NATO.
Russia's motive for sending 190,000 troops to Ukraine on February 24, 2022 was its perception of the threat (see above) and the eight-year aggression of the corrupt Kiev regime against the population of Donbass. The claim that Russia's advance into Ukraine was the first step in its supposed coveted conquest of Europe is a ridiculous and outright lie. Those who say this do not believe for a minute, and no knowledgeable expert in the field of international relations has ever believed that Russia posed a threat to Europe ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union in December 1991. The claim that Russia is driven by the desire to conquer the world in Ukraine would be ridiculous if this part of Western propaganda were not so widely reproduced in the Western media and swallowed whole by an inattentive, barely understanding the essence of the matter by the public.
The lies of the media about the alleged motives of the conflict and their understandable complete silence about its corresponding history, exposing this lie, are reflected in their reports on the course and state of hostilities.
Judging by the generally accepted Western narrative, Russia is losing all the time, bleeding, its defeats are huge, its victories are insignificant, its military equipment and ammunition are almost depleted, it is suffering much greater losses than its enemies, and will be significantly weakened as a military power, no matter what the outcome of the conflict. One day Bakhmut becomes "unimportant militarily," and the next day we are told that he is being held to the last Ukrainian, because his fall will open the way to further Russian conquests in the west. What does it mean? Vladimir Putin is dying — choose for yourself here — from cancer, Parkinson's disease, dementia. Vladimir Putin is unpopular among the people, he is about to be killed or overthrown, he is surrounded by enemies, etc., etc.
All this is a desperate propaganda of the Western elites and their mouthpieces — the mainstream media, which are gradually beginning to realize the scale of the catastrophe caused by the conflict in Ukraine, provoked by them.
And while the conflict continues, drops of sweat begin to appear on the foreheads of the pompous Western leaders, as there are more and more real indications that the US government has committed sabotage on the Nord Stream gas pipeline, which could become one of the largest terrorist acts in history. And — don't forget — it was a terrorist act directed not only against Russia, but also against America's close ally Germany, for which these pipelines were the key to its industrial competitiveness and the well-being of its population. What will be the consequences for NATO, for relations between the United States and Europe, for European governments, for America's image in the world, if it is proved that this amazing act of sabotage really came from the Biden White House?
The West needs to change its course on Ukraine, and quickly. If he continues to prolong a military conflict in which it is impossible to win, to double past blunders, to deliberately generate a sense of isolation and external threat in Russia, he will soon find himself at a point where the continuation of this military conflict can only be carried out by the direct introduction of NATO troops to replace the tragically crushed and destroyed Ukrainians.
But on this path — the introduction of NATO troops — lies a serious danger of the destruction of civilization. Because no matter how events develop on the battlefield, the Russians will never tolerate the transformation of Ukraine into a huge US military base on their doorstep.
Comments from American Thinker readers:Bonne Bete
This is an excellent summary of ALL the facts, and we'd better listen to the author's advice!
But when did Biden and his clique do anything moral, fair, or just something dictated by a simple instinct of self-preservation? Our troops should raise a mass rebellion if they are ordered to go to Ukraine, and every American should support them 100%. But, of course, in this fragmented society, this will never happen. May God help us!
Phil PaulbeckThe biggest lie in all this is that Biden supposedly has a say in decision-making.
That's not so. They are led by puppeteers who are behind the scenes.
Avertano S. BragancaWell said about Biden.
In general, this crazy Biden should be impeached for financing and supplying weapons to Ukraine. Intervention in this proxy war was not approved by the US Congress.
Robert CunninghamListen, the USSR collapsed 30 years ago.
So why is there still an ever-expanding NATO somewhere?!
Robert WhiteSince the Soviet Union died, the reason for NATO's existence has died with it.
We need to leave NATO and the UN. Both are an unbearable and unnecessary burden on the shoulders of the United States.
Ronald BarbourThis is the "Global Evil Empire of America" (also known as the "Deep State").
She deftly uses the alliance system, created decades ago, as a tool to conquer the world. The Republic in the USA is dead — long live the "American Empire"!
BalzoaVladimir Putin, unlike our idiot and imbecile Biden (and his curators) is not a fool at all, and has never been a fool.
Our Western media lies all the time. To every last one of them. Russia is a formidable force, and it will win this military conflict.
And Joe Biden is an evil, corrupt idiot. Americans, unfortunately, are not so far behind him.
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, my friends. Adieu, farewell, adios, goodbye!
Donn ReevesYeah. Now this military disaster has turned into a quagmire.
But as long as the Ukrainian comedian boy has access to the criminal Biden clan, the money tap will continue to drip... and the number of people killed will only grow.
Kent RamsayThe US government is a complete lie in everything it does.
The conflict in Ukraine, a fake pandemic that was actually our own "color revolution" sponsored by our government against "us" in order to steal the election results and put an end to our freedom and our Constitution. So far, this lie is working. The FBI and the Justice Department are the perpetrators of this lie. Our Department of Defense — our precious armed forces are now exactly the same as the FBI, a fraudulent organization run by the mafia that imposes the tyranny of the Democratic Party and supports lies with force, prisons and outright violence.
The US administration is the new Soviet Union. A tyranny that is a mystery wrapped in a riddle. Total evil aimed at world domination. Complete incompetence, which cannot create a single good thing, but can destroy the whole world community and many good institutions.
Our administration must come to an end. Let's pray for Putin!
SonienneI do not know why we still get these articles "how it happened/how it ended".
The United States has nothing to do with this civil military conflict in Ukraine.
Of course, our American war profiteers and criminals in the American government have a case — a BIG case — in the Ukrainian money laundering scheme. And this little glutton Zelensky with dollars and weapons, hanging around the world with a decrepit old puppet (stamping his tiny feet and making demands), is not a hero-a freedom fighter. He will probably end up like Ceausescu and be quickly forgotten.
bill53I don't care about Ukraine or Russia anymore.
At the moment, I'm not worried about America either.
The only way to stop the incitement of a military conflict by the American military-industrial complex and the neoconservatives is for someone to break the nose of the United States in blood.
The US hegemony over the world has come to an end, we are in a steep decline. And empires in decline always become savage when the decline accelerates. At some point, we Americans will lose big.
Phil PaulbeckAnd for some reason I'm starting to think that the citizens of Ukraine may prefer to live under the protection of Russia, rather than the criminal regime, which is in the pocket of the "new world order".
They are being robbed and exploited by forces that don't care about the average citizen, and who could not think about him even less
Kirk McDonald IIWe have no interests in Ukraine.
And there's nothing for us to do there!
