unz: flashpoint ukraine don't-poke-the-bear

 


Biden has already shown that he will do whatever he is told to do by the foreign policy “Borg”, which means that war with Russia might be unavoidable.

Do you agree or disagree with this analysis?

What we can say for certain is that imperialists always seek world hegemony. Independent Russia presents a challenge to that plan.

Perhaps, western elites think they can bring Russia into full compliance by brinkmanship and threatening war?
Perhaps what we’re seeing in the Ukraine is an attempt to browbeat Russia into obedience?
The danger is that they will push things too far and start a war they can neither manage or contain.

Putin remembers the fate of Saddam and Gadhafi. He’s not going to throw in the towel and back down. He’s not going to give up or give in.

To my American readers I’d say that the US is very strong and the people of the US can have a wonderful life even without world hegemony, in fact, hegemony is not in their interests at all.
What they should seek is a strong nationalist policy that cares for the American people and avoids wasteful foreign wars.
