Greenwald: Ukraine War Hawks Willing to Sacrifice Ukrainians At The Altar Of Getting Back At Trump, Russia

Glenn Greenwald in an interview with Tucker Carlon said war hawks are willing to continue to push for war in Ukraine because they see Ukrainian soldiers as pawns in an attempt to get back at Russia for what they perceive to be intervention in the 2016 presidential election.

“I absolutely think, Tucker, that one of the things that is the greatest fraud of this war is that the people that kept claiming they were so concerned about Ukrainians were in fact totally indifferent to the Ukrainians,” Greenwald said. “They were willing to sacrifice Ukrainians and Ukraine at the alter at getting back at Russia. I think in large part because they wanted to exact vengeance against Russia for what they perceived to be Russia’s role in helping Donald Trump win the 2016 election and causing Hillary Clinton to lose. And they were willing to sacrifice an entire country and to wipe out tens of thousands of lives of young people who didn’t want to fight in order to fulfill their political goal of extracting vengeance against Russia, weakening Russia. They have been saying for the last couple of months that American support for this support is eroding. ‘Oh look at how great this war is. We don’t have to lose any of our lives, we’re just having Ukrainians die and we’re just spending a bunch of money.’ Americans aren’t dying, only Ukrainians for this goal of weakening Russia.”
