What You Were Never Told About Russia/Ukraine War

Globalists have wanted war with Russia for years.

The Russia/Ukraine conflict has provoked intense propaganda efforts from all sides.

Western governments have spoken in identical ways when discussing the conflict.

• “EU Statement regarding Russia’s unprovoked and unjustified military aggression against Ukraine” The European Union

• “Remarks by President Biden on Russia’s Unprovoked and Unjustified Attack on Ukraine” The White House

• “Russia’s unprovoked, illegal war is an attack on Ukraine, a sovereign, democratic state and an attack on the OSCE's founding principles” The UK Government

• “It [Russia] continues to disseminate lies to justify its unprovoked, unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine.” Government of Canada

Half a million Christian lives have been lost in this conflict. Russia has expended much of its military arsenal and an entire generation of Ukrainian combat-age males are now dead.

Numerous cities are in ruins and global stability is imperiled.

With this in mind, it is unconscionable that two sides would have engaged in this unless it was indeed provoked and justifiable.

To understand how we got here, we must return to the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991.

As Russia and her fellow Soviet states broke away from each other after the fall of the Berlin Wall, there was incredible Russian anxiety about what the future held.

It was clear that states formerly under the Soviet thumb would swing dramatically toward The West. NATO, which existed as a military union between Western powers to oppose the Soviets, was now the unchallenged military power in Europe.

Fearing NATO aggression against a weakened Russia, Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev approached the famed U.S. Secretary of State James Baker about his concerns. Baker assured Gorbachev NATO would “not [move] one inch eastward” in a February 1990 meeting.

Subsequently, the Soviet Union dissolved into 15 independent nations, the Eastern Bloc pivoted westward and for a period it appeared the United States was going to honor Baker’s promise.

However, by 1999, NATO was creeping eastward. The Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland joined NATO just before the millennium.

To the casual observer, this may have seemed strange. The Soviets were gone, why would an anti-Soviet organization need to expand?

Everyone from Susan Eisenhower to Diplomat George Kennan warned this could provoke the Russians, with Kennan writing in 1997 “Expanding NATO would be the most fateful error of American policy in the post cold-war era. Such a decision may be expected . . . to impel Russian foreign policy in directions decidedly not to our liking.”

There were several reasons NATO expanded anyway but here are the two most important;

1. Adding nations to NATO meant the new member states had to bring their armaments into compliance with NATO regulations, which meant they would have to purchase this material from American defense manufacturers. NATO expansion was a major boon for the defense establishment.

2. By diffusing defense costs throughout the West (but mainly putting the burden on the United States), NATO created cover for the European Union to expand eastward and access cheaper labor markets in places like Poland. This allowed Brussels to expand the EU’s membership and supply major European corporations with cheaper labor without worrying about the need to establish a common defense program or see the European common market disturbed by warfare.

At first, the Russians seemed annoyed but tolerant of this action.

The Russians warmed up to the U.S., even as American defense expenditures remained at Cold War levels despite promises of cuts or “peace dividends”.

In the late 90s and early 2000s, President Putin was a young leader whom many believed would be a pro-Western reformer. “I looked the man in the eye. I found him to be very straightforward and trustworthy,” President George W. Bush said, “I was able to get a sense of his soul.”

Indeed, after the September 11th Attacks, President Putin was the first world leader to call Bush to extend his condolences and offer help.

Likewise, NATO published giddy reports that dreamt of Russia one day joining the organization.

––But by 2004, 7 more former-Soviet states including Latvia and Estonia, which share a border with Russia, joined NATO. Russia no longer had a buffer against NATO military installations.

Russia responded by reasserting itself in its former sphere of influence with a brief invasion of Georgia in 2008.

Undeterred, NATO would go on to expand three more times before the current Russo-Ukrainian war began.

By the early 2010s, the United States and Russia were waging a proxy war in Ukraine. Both sides installed various puppet governments and funded warring political factions.

Notably, Ukraine’s geography makes the young nation strategically important to both Russia and NATO. Ukraine has mostly flat plains like you may find in North Texas.

This grassland has made Ukraine both essential for food production and defense. Because Ukraine’s major mountain ranges are mostly in the western part of the country, once you hit the center or the east, you are within striking distance of Moscow.

This fact greatly concerns Russia. The Russians find the idea of American ICBMs or NATO weaponry in Ukraine intolerable.

In 2014, Russia invaded Crimea. At the time the Ukrainian response was minimal and American foreign policy leaders were the ones demanding war. Zbigniew Brzezinski called for the Ukrainians to fire upon the Russians and for the West to supply them the bullets.

Brezinski saw the Ukraine as an opportunity to grind down Russia without using American bodies.

(Zbigniew Brzezinski)

After his death, Brzezinski’s plans would be embraced.

However, in the 2019 elections, the Ukrainians signaled they were ready for peace.

Vlodomyr Zelensky campaigned for President of Ukraine and was elected on a pledge to sign the Minsk Peace Deal.

At first, it appeared Zelensky would be successful.

Accounts differ on who killed the peace negotiations, some claim it was the United States, and some claim it was Ukraine. In either event, former German Chancellor Angela Markel told news outlets that the deal was axed to prepare Ukraine for war with Russia.

“2014 Minsk agreement was an attempt to buy time for Ukraine. Ukraine used this time to become stronger”. Merkle said.

Former French President François Hollande concurred, “Angela Merkel is right on this point”.

“Since 2014, Ukraine has strengthened its military posture. Indeed, the Ukrainian army was completely different from that of 2014. It was better trained and equipped. It is the merit of the Minsk agreements to have given the Ukrainian army this opportunity” Hollande stated.

Even after Russia pushed deeper into Ukraine in 2022, it appeared that peace could be swiftly achieved. By April 2022, there was a tentative peace deal on the table.

However, like Minsk, this deal would be killed by the Biden Administration.

While the U.S. had signed on to the deal, President Biden secretly lobbied then-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to talk Zelensky out of the accords. Johnson promised Zelensky more resources to continue the war–– and he was successful.

We are now in the third year of a war we were repeatedly told by the Biden Administration that we were winning (until a young soldier allegedly leaked documents that proved we were/are not).

The Russians have held victory parades and recently claimed total victory in sections of Eastern Ukraine.

Notwithstanding the obviousness of the war’s futility, some in the establishment press are still running headlines like “Putin’s losses pave the way for Ukraine’s 2024 counteroffensive | Scott Lucas” (video below).

The war in Ukraine demonstrates the mendacity and incompetence of the current ruling class in the United States.

A war with Russia has been the aspiration of some in the foreign policy establishment for years. Everything has been done to provoke the Russian bear for more than a decade.

Yet when the time to execute their plan came, the supposed experts and global chess players were unprepared.
