This will not end well.

The entire reason for Putin’s invasion of Ukraine was the relentless expansion of NATO eastward, in the bumbling attempt to cow or intimidate the Russians. Why ? Who knows. Just more of the Neocons in the U.S. State Dept. and War Dept. plus the CIA. They prefer their diplomacy with threats.

Clinton expanded NATO eastward and promised: "That’s it. No further”. Then George Bush expanded NATO eastward again and promised: "That’s it. No further.”

The final straw was Ukraine. The former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych had amicable relations with Putin. Cheap Russian gas benefited the Ukrainian people. Yanukovych maintained a key point of the Minsk Accords to allow use of Sevastopol for the Russian navy.

Then Yanukovych was deposed in the 2014 "Maidan Revolution”. Funded and enabled by whom ? A major player was Victoria Nuland, Biden’s Undersecretary of State. She even admits to meddling in Ukrainian affairs going back several years.

Then relations deteriorated with two successive regimes hostile to Russia. In particular, Zelensky singled out the majority ethnic Russian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk for mistreatment and suppression of dissent.

Biden dithered, giving Zelensky just enough military support to keep Ukrainians in the field. It settled into WW-I trench warfare which Zelensky can never win. Now he’s simply running out of Ukrainian bodies to throw into the trenches.

Hawkish Victoria Nuland graces the scene again, killing any peace negotiations in 2022.

Biden ratchets it up some more, giving Zelensky long range ATACM missiles. Remember that Biden is too feeble-minded to run for re-election so who is really making the decisions in the White House ?

Both Hungary’s Viktor Orban and Poland’s Andrzej Duda warn of a direct confrontation of Russia with NATO. WW-3.
