Here’s what everyone needs to understand about Ukraine:
The United States has already moved on to Plan B. No, the Biden administration has not issued an official statement on the matter, but the shift has already begun. The Washington Brain-trust has abandoned any hope of winning the war outright (Plan A) and has, thus, adopted a different strategy altogether. (Plan B)
Plan B is a combination of two main elements:
- A—A Strategy of Denial, which is ‘a defensive approach designed to stop an adversary’ from achieving its goals. In this case, the objective is to prolong the conflict for as long as possible to prevent Russian from achieving a clear victory. That is the top priority.
- B—To continue to increase and intensify asymmetrical attacks on vital infrastructure and civilian areas in Russia proper in order to inflict as much damage on Russia as possible.
This, in essence, is Plan B. Any concern for the Ukrainian people or the future viability of the Ukrainian state, have not been factored in to Washington’s cynical calculation. What matters is preventing a Russian victory and inflicting as much pain on Russia as possible. Those are the primary objectives. In practical terms, that means that more Ukrainian soldiers will be slaughtered wholesale in order to continue using Ukraine as a launching pad for attacks on Russia.
This essay by Mike Whitney makes some good points but he misses the real goals of the West. They are: 1) destroy Ukraine. Empty it of its citizens by killing its military-aged men and forcing the rest to flee. 2) Then, destroy the Russian state, dismember it, and seize its assets. Russia is geographically huge with enormous resources, yet its population is a mere 140 million. The ultimate goal is take all of it. The Western cabal/ comitatus is manifestly either reckless or confident. My guess is they are confident because they possess a super-weapon, one stronger and more powerful than nukes or entire armies. It’s possible this is it. Maybe it’s not that but something else. War has always been the underlying reality of civilizations and these wars are our reality. ABN
