US mission creep in Ukraine follows in the fatal footsteps of ultimately failed war campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq

FORT SILL, Okla. (KSWO) – Fort Sill officials have confirmed a “contingent” of Ukrainian soldiers landed at the Lawton airport on Sunday night and are currently on Fort Sill.

Surveys signal a wider resistance to interventionism, which is not surprising given the history of sacrifice, and cost to communities.

Ukraine is quite prepared to trash Americans.

The bipartisan consensus in the Beltway on the United States being the ‘indispensable’ world power is usually attributed to the neocons who have been the driving force of the US foreign and security policy in successive administrations since the 1970s.

“We are carrying out NATO’s mission.” As Ukraine’s defense minister acknowledges the proxy war, NATO proxy warriors disregard the toll.

Why did Russia make the decision to go to war in Ukraine in 2022? It had been over two decades since the US and NATO broke their promise and marched nearly a thousand miles east toward Russia’s borders. It had been eight years since the US supported a coup in Ukraine that removed a democratically elected pro-Russian government and replaced it with a hand picked government that was pro-West. Worse, from Russia’s perspective, the newly installed government was anti-Russian. It had been five years since the US dissolved the boundary between defensive and offensive weapons and begun flooding Ukraine with lethal weapons.

Two British “voluntary workers” Andrew Bagshaw and Christopher Parry, are missing in Ukraine.They had set off into the centre of the fiercest fighting in the town of Soledar which has been surrounded on three sides by advancing Russian forces. Were they mad? Or did they just believe the general western propaganda that Ukraine was winning the war and advancing (when the reality was exactly the opposite and they were heading for mortal danger.) The devastating Russian advances in this area and in Bakhmut have simply not been reported.

As fighting rages across Ukraine, two versions of reality that underlie the conflict stare across a deep divide, neither conceding any truth to the other.
