The USA just gave Russia an excuse to seize all of Ukraine
Abraham Stein Apr 25
The United States has just given Russia a valid reason to take complete control of all Ukraine. Today, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Diplomat Anthony Blinken paid a visit to the Ukrainian president Zelensky in Kyiv, it was their first visit with Joe Biden as American President. The visit made it clear that the United States is directly involved in the conflict with the Russians, and the comments from Secretary of Defense Austin makes it abundantly clear that only a full Russian takeover of Ukraine will bring peace. A partial Russian takeover will produce more war.
Weaken Russia
Austin is the leader of the United Sates military and he made it very clear what the U.S. intends to do in Ukraine.
“We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine,” Austin said at the news conference. “So it has already lost a lot of military capability. And a lot of its troops, quite frankly. And we want to see them not have the capability to very quickly reproduce that capability.”
Austin’s words can be read as a direct admission of war between the United States and Russia, it is obvious there will be no peace in the region unless the Kremlin controls all of Ukraine. The United States is throwing fuel on the fire, they have given an unstable hothead (Ukraine president Zelensky) a free reign to do as he pleases. Zelensky is not seeking peace, he is an egoist demanding ever increasing ransom money from the United States and heavy weapons. No amount of money will ever satisfy Zelensky, the U.S has made the mistake of getting in bed with the Ukrainian president, now they are stuck with him. Lloyd Austin and Anthony Blinken told the American people last year that all was well in Afghanistan and that the Taliban was “no threat” to the Afghan army, they were dumbfoundedly wrong. Austin and Blinken appear to be wrong again in Ukraine.
Austin words today might be read by the Kremlin as a direct threat to Russia, in all the years of cold war between Russian President Putin and the United States, Putin has never said that he wanted to “weaken the United States militarily”. It is clear the U.S is going in for a long war, which could trigger a nuclear response from one side.
All or nothing
For 70 years Ukraine was ruled by the Soviet Union and the region was at virtual peace.
The words today from Anthony Blinken, while not as direct as Austin, was also highly disrespectful.
He said, according to the BBC: "The bottom line is this. We don't how the rest of this war will unfold, but we do know that a sovereign, independent Ukraine will be around a lot longer than Vladimir Putin is on the scene. And our support for Ukraine going forward will continue and it will continue until we see final success."
Blinken words made it clear that the age of American-Russian diplomacy is finished, he made it clear that war will continue, and the only option is for Ukraine to win. The meeting today left no plans hidden, it is clear the Russian federation must take all of Ukraine, it is the only way to assure peace. Ukraine was under the Soviet Union for 70 years and there was never the threat of world war, as it is today with Ukraine under NATO control. A rogue, untamed, Western controlled Ukraine led by an erratic Zelensky makes the whole world unsafe. Zelensky and NATO will never stop pushing for conflict, unless Russia seizes all of Ukraine there is a real threat of Zelensky triggering world war 3.
Stupid is as stupid does!
The Russians aren’t going to try to to take all Ukraine. They have enough to do to take the eastern provences and the southern corridor.
Only to breathless morons. A state visit and a spoken wish that Russia lose the capacity to invade neighbors is hardly akin to committing US troops.
Triple mask Austin... who helped to bungle things in Afghanistan.
How funny that the USA tells Russia that a NATO-member Ukraine on their border would not be a threat to them yet if Russia has military in Venezuela the USA considers that a red line:

But why did Austin have to state the obvious. Some things are better left unsaid.
“For 70 years Ukraine was ruled by the Soviet Union and the region was at virtual peace.”
Except for the deaths of millions of Ukrainians.
He forgot that.
Why post this swill ?
For 70 years Ukraine was ruled by the Soviet Union and the region was at virtual peace.
Starving 7-12 million Ukrianians in 1932-33 tops the list.
Gee
Maybe Joe is earning that russian money he and hunter got.
Tag team con job.
Idiocracy marches on
Austin a shill for Raytheon . Duh !
The USA can enforce red lines all over the world, Iraq, Afghanistan, the Monroe Doctrine. Russia can’t have a red line on its border, 300 miles from Moscow. We brutally imposed our will on Vietnam for a decade in order to try to stop the first domino from falling 10,000 miles away. Russia is fighting like hell to prevent the last domino from falling.
Austin a shill for Raytheon . Duh !

Potato head Joe and US war cheerleaders are fully prepared to fight Vlad down to the last Ukrainian. Have at it, Russia will be still be around long after the US.
“Austin is the leader of the United States military.”
_____________________________________________________
No. He is the Secretary of Defense.
The president is the commander in chief, i.e., the leader of the United States military.
Unfortunately, that person is Joe Biden. God help us.
Hear hear !!!!!
And by the way, why are they dealing with the Ruskies on the so called Iranian nuke deal? What a fricken joke. These people have to be hanged for treason.
As long as I’m alive, this American will be around longer than these Russian assholes. If that even makes sense. You know what I mean.
I have faith in the American people and God.
Because Austin is dumber than dirt. And nobody told him that he's dumber than dirt.
