WE ARE HEADING TOWARD NUCLEAR WAR. WHY?

 I do not have a degree in political science or international studies. I am just a common man with my own thoughts about things in our government. I do know this you will eventually get what is coming to you if you act like a bully. The Biden Administration continues to poke the Russian Bear and will ultimately pay a high price for their bullying.

Last week the New York Times ran a shocking article claiming that the U.S. intelligence community believes the Ukrainian government to be responsible for the August attack that killed Darya Dugina, the daughter of a prominent Russian philosopher. Kyiv conducted an al-Qaeda-style attack on an innocent civilian inside Russia. The murder of Dugina was a textbook definition of terrorism, which is "the use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals."

The U.S. government has used Ukarine to fight agaisnt Russia and is pushing the world toward a nuclear war. Here is the fingerprint of the Biden administration. In his own words, Biden said he would end the Nordstream pipelines. Nordstream pipelines were blown up, seemingly ending, at least in the near term, the possibility that Germany may find a way to save its economy by mending fences with its main energy supplier. A leading Polish politician thanked the U.S. for doing the job.

Then over the weekend, the bridge connecting mainland Russia to Crimea was bombed, killing at least six civilians and leaving part of the bridge underwater. Traffic was restored hours after the attack, but Russian President Vladimir Putin blamed Ukraine's intelligence service. We all know that Ukraine relies on its U.S. masters, so we can assume the U.S. provided the intelligence allowing the targeting of the bridge.

There is a pattern here. More and more brazen attacks are being launched against Russia, and Washington is doing little to hide U.S. fingerprints. Why?

Have you ever asked yourself why the U.S. is trying to destroy Russia? Could it be that there is an underlying motive that we are not being told about? If we know Russia could be pushed to use nuclear weapons, why would we continue to torment them to the point they respond with nuclear war? No one wins if there is a nuclear war.

So the question is if  Biden knows his proxy war against Russia is moving us closer to the unthinkable – nuclear annihilation – why does his Administration persist in crossing red line after red line? Biden's "experts" believe that Putin is bluffing and will do nothing about the Dugina assassination, the Nordstream pipeline sabotage, and the Kerch Bridge attack.

But what if they're wrong? Somewhere between 70 and 84 missiles targeted military and energy facilities. Russian President Vladimir Putin said his forces used "precision weapons" to target critical energy infrastructure and military command facilities. This was in retaliation for Kyiv's "terrorist" actions — a reference to Ukraine's attempts to repel Moscow's invasion forces, including an attack on a critical bridge between Russia and the annexed Crimean Peninsula that Putin called a "terrorist act" masterminded by Ukrainian special services.

Putin vowed a "tough" and "proportionate" response should Ukraine carry out further attacks that threaten Russia's security. "No one should have any doubts about it," he told Russia's Security Council by video.

The explosions in Kyiv and other cities came just a day after Putin blamed Kyiv for the massive explosion on a 12-mile bridge connecting Crimea with Russia. How many red lines must be crossed before Russia says enough is enough? 

I have been against this conflict since 2014, when the U.S. helped bring about a change in the Ukraine government. The reality of this conflict started in 2008 at the NATO Summit in Bucharest, where NATO issued a statement that said Ukraine and Georgia would become part of NATO. The Russians made it unequivocally clear that they viewed this as an existential threat and drew a line in the sand. Regardless of the Russian protest, the U.S. moved forward to include Ukraine in the West to make Ukraine a Western threat on Russia's border. Of course, this includes more than just NATO expansion. NATO expansion is the heart of the strategy. Still, it includes E.U. expansion as well, turning Ukraine into a pro-American liberal democracy, and, from a Russian perspective, this is an existential threat.

It's imperative to understand that, until 2014, the U.S. did not envision NATO expansion and E.U. expansion as a policy to contain Russia. Nobody seriously thought that Russia was a threat before February 22, 2014. NATO expansion, E.U. expansion, and turning Ukraine, Georgia, and other countries into liberal democracies were all about creating a giant zone of peace that spread all over Europe and included Eastern Europe and Western Europe. It was not aimed at containing Russia. What happened is that this significant crisis broke out, and the U.S.had to assign blame, and of course, they were never going to blame themselves. They were going to blame the Russians. So they invented this story that Russia was bent on aggression in Eastern Europe. Putin is interested in creating a greater Russia or maybe even re-creating the Soviet Union.

Before February 22, 2014, the U.S. did not think Putin was an aggressor. This is a story that our government invented so that they could blame Putin. The United States is principally responsible for the war in Ukraine. But no American policymaker, and hardly anywhere in the American foreign-policy establishment, and the MSM will want to acknowledge that line of argument and say that the Russians are responsible. 

Why do we, as Americans, support a war costing us tens of billions of dollars in military aid and moving us toward nuclear war over a conflict that has nothing to do with the United States?

 Why does the U.S. Administration – with the support of most Republicans in Congress – continue to send tens of billions of dollars in military aid and move us toward nuclear war over a conflict that has nothing to do with the United States?

The time to end U.S. participation in this war is Now! We must start demanding that our representatives stop this madness. We can start the change in the November elections by voting to put in office those who have America's first interest.
