He could have had a “buffer zone” of friendly nations surrounding Russia *if only* he would have been a good neighbor and stayed in his yard.
But … he didn’t(!) and, as it is now, he’s going to get everything he said he doesn’t want, including missile attacks on Moscow to match his attacks on Kyiv if he doesn’t stop his madness, pick up his toys and go back home.
Project Ukraine was a western financial and economic hegemony designed to enrich the west at the expense of the Ukrainian people. It was no different from how the west operates in Africa. Own the political power and buy cheap all rights or property under western management.
Biden admin used two Ukrainian Jewish origin people in Blinken and Nuland to focus personnel vendettas as US Foreign policy and push ethenic grievances into war, thereby forcing Ukraine to finance and further transfer any value in Ukraine to western interests. The west used Ukraine to rearm itself by selling old arms to Ukraine, a 10 year military build up before the war. Ukraine is a vasal indebted state whose entire government sector is paid wages by Washington.
Project Ukraine was corrupt and Burisma/Biden was early on a warning signal. The west is fighting in Ukraine to keep its investment. The Bitcoin ETFs were only approved as a measure to allow the USGs policy investors like Blackrock to balance their profolio due to impending loss of Billions in Ukraine.
India and Saudi Arabia news show NATO sanctions have failed. The economic shake out is destroying US economic hegemony and Brics is going to represent the country’s avoiding Sanctions and seizures of assets, or essentially the west is too rich for them to be invits economic system. Theose developing countries are more economically aligned. The US and EU have misused Sanctions and have isolated themselves. China, India, Saudi Arabia, and many countries are breaking with the US economic hegemony and military backing.
All US talk about future conflicts are and have been over economic control. The globalists in the west have failed to capture the world, and Ukraine is the situation which has broke the US as the sole leader in the world.
Ukraine is losing badly. Russia has 300,000 new soldiers, and every six months of training produces 300,000 more. Russia will win.
The US and EU need to get their economies and diplomacy recalibrated to one which is not predicated on using NATO military power to enforce their hegemony. The west needs to stop the endless wars of economic aggression.
Obama successfully took the US down through a series of military debacles, of which one in Syria seems imminent.
