Vietnam 2.0 by Proxy

But Joe Biden’s lies grossly exceed those of his predecessors.  There is no democracy in Ukraine, which Biden pledges to protect as long as it takes, and Russia is not planning absorption of any other European countries. One phone call from Biden to Putin prior to February 24, 2022 with a pledge to guarantee Ukraine’s neutral status would have ensured there would be no war. Moreover, if not for the Biden-Nuland coordinated coup to remove the democratically elected Ukrainian president in February 2014, that country would still be keeping its full territory it got after collapse of  the USSR in 1991. 

Lee Smith correctly states that “The White House has no strategy to win its proxy war… [I]t’s wasting taxpayer money on a government riddled with corruption. As for U.S. troops on the ground, that was already a given since the weapons systems Biden has sent to Ukraine require deployment of American military.”

Robert Maginnis adds that “the leaked intelligence documents sound a wake-up call regarding America’s role in the war in Ukraine. It’s high time for President Biden to talk to the American people about our interests and whether our continued role in this war could escalate into something much worse.”

However, the U.S. mainstream media, with rare exceptions, refrains from criticizing Biden and focuses only on the fact of the leak, and not on the essence of the secret materials made public.

Ashley Rindsberg from “The Spectator” called the anti-Russian hysteria the ”media’s Vietnam.” She bitterly writes that the crusade against Russia has become “the raison d’etre of the mainstream, so important that it has forced some of the most famous publications in the country to openly renounce cherished journalistic values such as objectivity and neutrality.”

Biden’s foreign policy agenda, and that of the Deep State that brought him to the White House, is to preserve the architecture of the unipolar world led by Washington. Countries that disagree with such an agenda are considered to belong to the “axis of evil,” are subjected to harsh sanctions, and their leaders are demonized.

This is at a time when American society is deeply polarized and the list of its domestic problems keeps accumulating, when the avalanche of Biden family skeletons keeps clattering out from numerous closets, and, most importantly, when the risk of a nuclear war is no longer just a lunatic’s paranoia.

Of course, the “unipolarists” are not ready to abandon their goal of world hegemony, which they call “leadership.” They bring to mind the old quip attributed to Alexandre Auguste Ledru-Rollin, one of the leaders of the French Revolution of 1848. He said “There goes my people. I must follow them, for I am their leader.” Some humorists expanded it a bit as follows: “Have you seen them? Which way did they go? How fast were they going? How long ago? How many of them were there? I must find them, for I am their leader!”

The U.S. is still globally dominant in many areas, but as the latest polls show it is no longer the leading power that other countries look up to.

According to the latest Gallup poll today only 37% of the world’s population is satisfied with the position of the U.S. vs 67% who are dissatisfied. But I wish Gallup or some other respected agency would conduct a poll in the U.S. asking the following question:  “Are you in favor of America being the world’s leader or live in peace and harmony with other nations on a win-win paradigm?”

Seventy-eight years ago, during their April 25, 1945 meeting on the Elbe River on the eve of their joint victory in WW2 over Nazi Germany, American and Soviet forces pledged to adopt and follow the “Elbe Spirit,” which means the second option.

At the recent Putin–Xi summit in Moscow both leaders pledged the same. It seems that what is called “Global South,” including major parts of Eurasia, Africa, and Latin America, agrees. So far “Collective West” is still listening to Washington but the developing cracks even there are becoming hard to ignore. America urgently needs new leaders who will move country to the right side of history, back from the edge of the abyss — before the arrival of global Armageddon.
