The reason the US wants war in Ukraine is ultimately all about the dollar
RT Times ^ | 2/16/22 | Thomas J Penn

For months now we’ve been hearing Washington ring alarm bells regarding what they have cited as an “imminent Russian invasion of Ukraine.” According to the latest so-called US “intelligence,” a full-scale invasion would take place this week. Yet, as some of us have for months insisted would be the case, no invasion has transpired, nor, I believe, is one likely.

Moscow, which has announced that its troops are pulling back from Russia’s border with Ukraine, has consistently denied that it has any intention of invading. But Washington, with its repeated accusations regarding an imminent false-flag incident, to its stationing of troops in Eastern Europe, has appeared desperate to goad Russia into making such a move. The more Russia’s President Vladimir Putin refuses to take the bait, the greater the despair in Washington.

Why is Washington – and by extension NATO and the EU – so obsessed with Ukraine? What is it that they hope to achieve? Once one understands the mechanism by which Washington derives its real power, its actions in relation to Russia become easier to understand.

Let’s put aside all the bluster Washington spews regarding human rights, democracy and sovereignty, because these are just issues which it uses as cover and which it routinely disregards itself in order to achieve its aims. What is it that Washington really wants?

All these voices telling us that we want war, that democracy and freedom are meaningless, and Russia deserves to attack Ukraine - are selling us poison.

Russia wants to seize Ukraine, which is zero threat to Russia.

Ukraine gives Russia a route to Crimea and a strategic position for the Russian navy to threaten NATO.

Don’t listen to these anti American kooks

They should NOT say the US. Instead put the blame exactly where it belongs, the corrupt Biden regime.

The filthy corrupt Biden regime is the cause of ALL the evil in the world right now. Take them out (along with Soros) and you will remove 50% of the worlds trouble makers.

If Russia ever goes to war with anyone it should be with the illegitimate, installed occupier pretending to run the USA and the world.

You’ll give an eff when Europe and Asia are in the hands of our enemies and our economy collapses. If we survive it.

Putin is well aware Obama and Biden are IMF owned. An enemy much older then China, Iran and Soros.

Putin has kept the World Bank and IMF out for deades. They are the Democrat Mafias real bosses.

The first NATO General Secretary Lord Hastings Ismay famously said 70 years ago - the purpose of the Alliance was: “to keep the Soviets out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.”

Nothing has changed.

These was this period called “The Cold War” where russia had control over ALL of eastern europe and China was largely cut off from the rest of the world. They lost.

Yeah the world actually matters and we’re only wealthy because we have a very dominant position.

Substitute Russia for China and I might be concerned. China is actually a political and economic threat.

As far as Russia occupying Europe and Asia....I think the 1950s called and it’s time for you take your meds.

You sound like a deep-state plant. War is the health of the state. When US progressives come to conservatives homes to drag them away, accusing them of being "foreign agents for Russia" we'll think of you.
