Two Headlines

Two headlines illustrate the villainous insanity of the West:

Kyiv's Allies pledge more Weapons to help win War

"Weapons and ammunition are flowing in daily, said President Biden, "and we are seeing just how vital our alliances and partnerships are around the world."

World faces hunger 'catastrophe' from Invasion

The World Bank's David Malpass told the BBC that a "human catastrophe" of hunger is on the horizon Rising food prices are pushing millions into poverty and "lower nutrition."

So... the West, Inc. is shovelling arms into the Ukraine while a scarcity of wheat and fertilizer is shoving people into poverty and hunger.

The same two headlines also illustrate how the media distorts reality. "From invasion...." The shortage of wheat and fertilizer is not caused by the invasion. The invasion caused death, destruction and disruption in the Ukraine but it did not cause high gas prices or shortages of wheat. In fact, most of Ukraine's wheat is grown in the west of the country which has been left unaffected by combat. No. The scarcity of wheat and fertlizer is being caused by the response to the invasion; i.e. by West Inc.'s sanctions.

Of course the wail will go up: "what else could we have done? We had no choice but..." Nonsense. There are always alternatives. Instead of moving every available forklift, truck and C1 transport to dump arms on the Ukraine, Biden and his obedient allies ought to be doing all they can to facilitate a peaceful settlement. But that is not what they are about.

Duplicitous and despicable as she is, it is for precisely that reason that Hillary is a good barometer of the WashBorg's state of mind.

On 28 February, a week after Russia' invasion, Hillary got on her broom and took to the airwaves to cackle that the invasion gave us the opportunity to screw Russia

"We have to provide sufficient military armaments for the Ukraine military and volunteers. And we have to keep tightening the screws," she said. "Let`s keep ratcheting up the pressure. And everybody should ratchet the pressure. ...[by].. providing necessary to weapons to Ukraine."

Always look for the key word, which in this case is "keep." Russian troops first crossed into Ukraine on 24 February. Hillary is in flight four days later. In four days, the West was transferring weapons to the Ukraine? Well....

On February 28, Finland said it would deliver 2,500 assault rifles, ....

On Sunday, February 27, the European Union said it would "purchase and delivery" weapons to Ukraine.

On Saturday, February 26, Germany indicated it would send lethal military aid to Ukraine.

On Friday, February 25, U.S. President Joe Biden authorized $350 million in security assistance for Ukraine.

And...

On Wednesday, February 23, a second shipment of Canadian military aid was received in Ukraine.

On Tuesday, February 22, Latvia was scheduled to deliver Stinger anti-aircraft missiles to Ukraine

On Monday, February 21, Defence Minister Matej Tonin revealed that Slovenia had delivered

On February 18, the Republic of Estonia delivered Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine.

On Monday, February 14, Prime Minister Trudeau announced that Canadian officials had authorized $7.8-million worth

On February 12 and 13, Lithuania delivered Stinger anti-aircraft missile systems and ammunition

On February 1, Poland approved the delivery of Piorun (Thunderbolt) short-range, man-portable air defense (MANPAD) systems and munition

On January 20, the United States State Department issued a revised factsheet on security assistance to Ukraine; as the United States also directly delivered military assistance to the country. This included some of a $200 million in Department of Defense stocks,

In December 2021, Lithuania sent its first delivery of military aid composed of bulletproof vests and ballistic belts to Ukraine since the beginning of the crisis.

In July 2021, U.S. Marines were training in the Ukraine (and in 2019 as well).

In 2017 Trump "began providing millions in lethal assistance, including Javelin anti-tank missiles –

Since 2014 the United States has provided $2.7 billion in "security assistance" to the Ukraine.

Gee... "keep" has a long pedigree. Well... I suppose they would call it a "pre-response" ...

The fact is that the Washington-Brussel Axis has been arming the Ukraine big time since 2014 and that was the MAJOR complaint Putin had.

West Inc., will deny any malicious intent and claim that its aid to Ukraine was only in "response" to Russia's annexation of the Crimea. But that too is a canard which depends on assuming that Ukrainian history began in February 2014. The facts are simple: Russia annexed the Ukraine because that is where its Southern Fleet is harboured under a treaty with Ukraine. Russia did so because the duly elected president of the Ukraine was overthrown in an armed coup, spearheaded by "ethno-nationalists" (cheered on by Under-secretary of State Virginia ("fuck Europe") Nuland) who made no secret of the fact that they wanted ethnic Russians out of the Donbas region and the Russian fleet out of the Crimea.

As we have reviewed elsewhere, the US has had a policy of extending NATO "eastward" in an effort to "roll back" Russia's influence and to make way for its own penetration of the Eurasian continent. This is not an opinion based on inferencea. It is a policy-fact evidenced in numerous publicly available documents and confirmed by the objective reality that since 1999 NATO and the EU have expanded eastward.

No one, certainly not me, can blame the Ukrainians for defending their homeland. It is a natural reaction to an invasion. Their heroic response can elicit nothing but praise. But they are brave dupes. They have been roped into a dynamic far beyond their horizons. That is the sorry fate of proxies in proxy wars.

This conflict is not about "liberal democracy" or "our values" (whatever they may be exactly) or even about defending the Ukraine. It is about geopolitics and economic hegemony; and, in particular about Russia's response to our own imperial designs.

With vicious irony the Witch from Westchester says that we need to "rally to support Ukraine in this struggle because it's also our struggle." Yes, only it's really our struggle in the cause of which the Ukraine will be sacrificed and handed over to death and destruction.

Hillary Clinton is simply the cackling voice of a whole gaggle of ghoulish neocons who, since 1992, have taken control of U.S. foreign and economic policy. With that in mind we can ask: What is Hillary's record in defence of our values and the rule of law? Libya? Somalia? Iraq? Syria? Afghanistan? Nothing but death and devastation.

To paraphrase what was said of the Romans "they created a desert and called it liberal democracy."

These monsters want to stick it to Russia pure and simple, no matter that they end up destroying the Ukraine, breaking the back of the Western middle classes, and casting millions in the third world into hunger and privation.

A pox, a pox, ein dreifachen Fluch on the lot of them and their spawn.
