The Ukraine War: A Relatively More Honest Perspective

The Biggest U.S.-and-Allied Lies About the War in Ukraine

#1 lie: If Russia takes Ukraine, we’ll be next.

There is zero evidence for this lie, and it is a lie that is even more outlandish than the lie that if Vietnam falls to the communists, that will be just the first “domino” and all the others will fall and the Soviet Union and/or communist China will take over the world.

Russia actually had no motivation to invade Ukraine until the U.S. carried out a coup, which overthrew and replaced Ukraine’s neutralist Government and installed a rabidly anti-Russian one in 2014. NATO nations unanimously refused to negotiate with Russia regarding Russia’s longstanding national-security red line against Ukraine — the nation with the nearest border to The Kremlin (Russia’s central command) a mere 317 miles away — ever becoming added to America’s anti-Russian military alliance, NATO. On 7 January 2022 NATO said no to that request by Russia. They wouldn’t even negotiate about it. They were determined to violate that red line of Russia. The only way left to Russia to carry out its red line in this matter that is so essential to Russia’s national security, was to take Ukraine before Ukraine would be taken into NATO and become set up with a U.S. nuclear missile.Laurence M.

Similarly, but in the opposite direction, the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis had U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy refusing to allow the Soviet Union to be permitted by Cuba and to install Soviet missiles that could reach America’s central command in the White House within 30 minutes, but the big difference with Ukraine in that situation — the situation that Cuba was then in — is that Khrushchev was willing to, and did, negotiate with Kennedy about the matter so as to prevent a nuclear war. The other big difference, in this case, is that The Kremlin is only 5 minutes of missile-flying-time away from Ukraine, not 30 minutes, and that the NATO nations refused to negotiate with Russia at all.

After that 7 January 2022 rejection by NATO — refusal even to negotiate about the matter — Russia had a national-security necessity to take action, and nothing less than an invasion of Ukraine could be that required action, It was forced by NATO, upon Russia. The imperialistic aggressive power here is America (the virtual owner of the NATO alliance), NOT Russia. America demands the right to expand its empire to within 5 minutes of Russia’s central command; Russia isn’t threatening to expand its border to within 5 minutes of America’s central command. The U.S. and its colonies blatantly lie about which side is the aggressor against the other side. The very idea that Russia had any interest in invading any of the NATO countries — or even in invading Ukraine prior to America’s February 2014 coup there turned Ukraine rabidly against Russia — is a vicious and hateful lie, which has its origin in Washington DC and is parroted throughout its empire.

#2 lie: The war in Ukraine started on 24 February 2022.

We are actually now in year ten of this war. The war in Ukraine started in 2014, as both NATO’s Stoltenberg and Ukraine’s Zelensky have said. It was started in February 2014 by a U.S. coup which replaced the democratically elected and neutralist President with a U.S. selected and rabidly anti-Russian leader, who immediately imposed an ethnic-cleansing program to get rid of the residents in the regions that had voted overwhelmingly for the overthrown President.

U.S. Regime Now Applies Maximum Brutality to the Ukrainian People

Russia responded militarily on 24 February 2022 in order to prevent Ukraine from allowing the U.S. to place a missile there a mere 317 miles or five minutes of missile-flying-time away from The Kremlin and thus too brief for Russia to respond before its central command would already be beheaded by America’s nuclear strike. (As I headlined on 28 October 2022, “NATO Wants To Place Nuclear Missiles On Finland’s Russian Border — Finland Says Yes”. The U.S. had demanded this, especially because it will place American nuclear missiles far nearer to The Kremlin than at present, only 507 miles away — not as close as Ukraine, but the closest yet.)
