War is peace.
(All the world’s an Orwellian stage, and all the men and women merely players.)
I get the feeling that Pat Buchanan is one of the few sane people left

US policy is to supply weapons as long as Ukrainians are willing to fight Russian invaders. Or they are driven back to Russia.
Russia’s forever war is create an Empire from Lisbon to Vladivostok.
US forever goal is to stop that from happening. Since it would allow Russia to dominate the entire world.
Good to see Pat weigh in with some sanity.
Lloyd Austin—Former Member of Raytheon Board of Directors ...Hmmm...
After all this time, I just can’t grasp what possible strategic interest the USA could have in Ukraine. Even the Germans and French had to be dragged into supporting war and sanctions on Russia and they are a lot closer than we are.
Thus, the ONLY reason for constant NATO prodding, color revolution, and corruption ties with Ukraine is SPECIFICALLY to surround and weaken Russia.
Under Putin, Russia is an implacably hostile power, hostile to the United States, and hostile to our allies. It makes perfect sense to help Ukraine weaken Russia by defeating her invasion of Ukraine. And no, it will not be a “forever war.” It will last only as long as Putin lives and remains in power.
You picked just one word out of his entire sentence?
“to see Russia weakened to the point where it can’t do things like invade Ukraine...”
That is to weaken specifically so it won’t invade its neighbours
‘forever war’ plan against Putin
***We should implement my emBASEee strategee.
One of Trump’s expressions that made me think he would be different was when he said stuff like “Bomb the shiite out of them and take their oil to pay for it.”
If we send in American boots on the ground, we damned well better be negotiating American Land as the thing to fight for. Big, sweeping American EmBASEees along the border between Russia and Ukraine. A Lend Lease project. Americans fighting for American land. For generations we could use that land to build airports and fight terrorism in that region. I would call it the BBudapest AAgreement LLend LLease program because it would take BALLs.

I have been advocating for several years a policy I call ‘embaseees’. Embassy + AirBase —> EmBASEeees. We go into a terrorist country, clear out their taliban equivalent, then withdraw to very large Embassies, perhaps 3 of them. Have them big enough to encompass a military airbase where we can use it for decades on end to conduct anti-terrorism operations. As long as the ‘host’ country aint killing Americans then we let them have self-sovereignty. Kind of like how we operated in the Phillipines for decades. We could even have an intermediate zone that we patrol but it would be autonomous. Let them have their taste of freedom. A referendum every 10 years to see how large the boundaries of the intermediate autonomous zone should be.
