Diplomacy Not Biden
Malarkey!
No War with Russia over Ukraine! Nothing is worth risking war, much less nuclear war. Someone, somehow, must find the courage to lead the way toward cooperation and disarmament. We all should be alarmed by the worsening Ukraine crisis between the nuclear-armed governments of the U.S. and Russia that have more than 90% of the world’s nuclear weapons.
What’s at the root of the Ukraine crisis. US media puts the blame solely on Russian aggression, amassing troops on its border with Ukraine for an invasion. But there is a lot more to the story that Americans rarely hear.
In 1990, at the end of the Cold War and the break-up of the Soviet Union, US President George H.W. Bush and US Secretary of State, James Baker, promised Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, that NATO would not expand “one inch to the east” toward Russia if Russia accepted German unification. That promise has been repeatedly broken by the US and NATO. Since German reunification, NATO has added 14 countries to the east toward Russia. Now Ukraine has become a focal point of also joining a constantly expanding NATO.
What also is NOT mentioned in US media concerns the 2014 US-orchestrated right-wing/neo-Nazi coup in Ukraine to overthrow the democratically elected government and install a Pro US/NATO government. Assistant US Secretary of State for European Affairs, Victoria Nuland, was the “mastermind” behind the Feb. 22, 2014 “regime change” in Ukraine. https://truthout.org/articles/the-ukraine-mess-that-nuland-made/ Also see www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957
The Malarkey keeps getting worse. Biden’s State Department spokesman, Ned Price, (formerly with the CIA) claimed at a Feb. 3, 2022 briefing that Russia is planning an elaborate video fabrication with crisis actors and fake bodies to sell a fake Ukrainian attack on eastern Ukraine to serve as a false flag to justify a Russian incursion into Ukraine. When AP reporter Matt Lee asked for evidence of this, Price produced nothing and said to Lee “You are a Russian propagandist.” https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/04/unable-to-produce-evidence-state-dept-spox-hits-reporter-with-russia-smear/
The big picture is that the US wants to be the sole Big Dog Global Empire. Other countries, including Russia and China, must play 2nd fiddle to the US. The US wants to go anywhere in the world and do anything it wants. Just look at the history of US recent imperial wars for control of resources, and US-initiated coups, not only in the Middle East, but in Europe, Africa, Central, and South America, and Asia. Biden now even says he will cut off Russia’s gas pipeline to Germany. And don’t forget the US 1893 coup in Hawaii on behalf of sugar and military interests, and the continuing illegal military occupation ever since. So what’s new?
No More Biden Malarkey!
