It’s odd how no one in the American media seems to ask how Obama and Biden went from a friendly “reset” with Russia in 2009 to full geopolitical antagonism in 2011.

♦ What exactly led to the complete reversal of intent?

I digress…. However, having some deeper understanding of the current status of the conflict, I also find it curious how the New York Tims can just seemingly bury the lead in their story about how U.S-led military “mercenary” soldiers are on the ground fighting, while seemingly forgetting their prior outline about how the CIA was conducting all the military operations in the same area. Not funny, that.

“In Ukraine, Killings of Surrendering Russians Divide an American-Led Unit” – […] Hours after a battle in eastern Ukraine in August, a wounded and unarmed Russian soldier crawled through a nearly destroyed trench, seeking help from his captors, a unit of international volunteers led by an American.

Caspar Grosse, a German medic in that unit, said he saw the soldier plead for medical attention in a mix of broken English and Russian. It was dusk. A team member looked for bandages.

That is when, Mr. Grosse said, a fellow soldier hobbled over and fired his weapon into the Russian soldier’s torso. He slumped, still breathing. Another soldier fired — “just shot him in the head,” Mr. Grosse recalled in an interview.

Mr. Grosse said he was so upset by the episode that he confronted his commander. He said he spoke to The New York Times after what he regarded as unwarranted killings continued. It is highly unusual for a soldier to speak publicly about battlefield conduct, particularly involving men whom he still considers friends. (read more)

This type of ground report follows a pattern created by an incurious international media. There’s a reason why the State Dept and CIA control the narratives delivered by western stenographers. Meanwhile, the U.S. taxpayers are the ones funding the payroll for the “official” and “unofficial conflict.

If you don’t think Vladimir Putin is very well aware that he is fighting Americans in the USA proxy province called Ukraine, then you are infected with the current strain of pretending that has seemingly swept the west.

Russian President Vladimir Putin knows he is not fighting a Zelenskyy led Ukraine military operation. Spend some time in the forbidden zone and you will quickly learn that Russia is very clear-eyed about how USA forces are the proverbial unofficial boots on the ground, and they have been for years – long before Russia “invaded” their eastern neighbor.

KYIV — Ukrainian forces are pulling back along parts of the frontline under fierce Russian pressure; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed the difficult situation on a lack of weapons for his soldiers.

That’s likely to increase pressure from Kyiv during next week’s NATO Washington summit for its allies to speed up arms deliveries.

“This is not a stalemate, but a problematic situation,” Zelenskyy told Bloomberg on Thursday. “A problem can be solved if there are tools and desire. We have the desire, but the tools have not arrived. We have brigades without weapons. We have 14 brigades that do not have the appropriate weapons that have already been voted on and talked about.” (read more)

In 2022, the New York Times published an article saying the CIA and Pentagon special forces are organizing and conducting the NATO war effort from a secret operation center in Kyiv.

Some viewed the article as the NYT violating operational security for the U.S. led effort. However, that perspective belies the nature of how the media is used in war by Dept of State and intelligence officials.  The details of the Times article were attributed to “three U.S. officials,” and should be looked upon as purposeful for the intent of provocation.

♦ To answer the lead-in question….. Ultimately, if you drill down the conflict to its core and essential origin, you will find the USA spending several years in Ukraine on behalf of a small banking group who controls the ‘western’ global financial system.

If the bankers took no proactive action, the dollar-based global financial system was going to erode further.  Take away the western financial system and the powers that inevitably control all global conflict would see their abilities diminish.  Peace is not a lucrative enterprise for the continuation of assembled affluence.

You cannot have “world peace” and simultaneous retention of global financial control by a small group of benefactors.  Independent wealth leads to hindsight questions amid those previously impoverished.

The solution to the historic truism? WAR!

And here we are!
