Berletic: It's about extending Russia. NOT "saving" Ukraine. Ukraine and Ukrainians don't count.

▪️Many are rightfully perplexed over why Ukrainian commanders (and ultimately US commanders based in Germany) refuse to withdraw Ukrainian forces from hopelessly besieged and collapsing cities like Bakhmut, Avdeevka, and now Pokrovosk;
▪️But remember, the primary objective of the US proxy war in Ukraine is to extend Russia, not "save" Ukraine - in fact, the US explicitly seeks to fully spend the latter to undermine the former;
▪️When you understand this, that Ukrainian troops, their fortifications, and delaying Russian advances as much as possible, for as long as possible and at the highest cost possible, with the cost in Ukrainian lives and even ultimately territory and self-preservation no concern at all, this strategy of stand and fight makes perfect sense;
▪️Yes, withdrawals and reestablishing defenses in more logical positions like west of the Dnieper River would save Ukrainian lives and provide the best prospect of preserving at least some of Ukraine, but it would afford Russia an immediate strategic victory in the Donbass, and possibly even afford Russia a point where it could pause, rest and fully reconstitute its forces all while maintaining pressure on what is left of Ukraine and freeing up resources to confront US encroachment elsewhere along its periphery;
▪️So the fighting will continue, regardless of the outcome for Ukraine, the possibility of using European troops to swoop in and create a buffer zone and freeze the conflict means each and every Ukrainian soldier can be spent raising the cost for Russia as high as possible until then, serving US interests fully at Ukraine's expense;
▪️Understanding that this is a US proxy war, that both Ukraine AND Europe are fully expendable from Washington's point of view, helps build a clearer understanding of why the US is fighting this proxy war in the manner it does and why the proxies it has put into power in Ukraine and across the EU act so irrationally and in contradiction of what many would assume would be their best interests;
Berletic: The US is waging a global war against multipolarism.
The US "Peace President" is either at war or threatening war across multiple continents...
... from threatening interventions in Mexico and Venezuela in North and South America, its continued Ukraine proxy war in Europe, threatened intervention in Nigeria and continued bombing and drone strikes in Somalia, Africa, continued occupation of Syria and Iraq and ongoing hostility vs Yemen and Iran in the Middle East, regime change operations and proxy war across Asia including in Nepal and Myanmar respectively and its continued military build up along China's borders and shores...
While the US insists it wants "peace through strength" it remains at constant war all while attempting to expand its global campaign of violence even further, a complete, uninterrupted continuation of "deep state" wars cultivated under the previous Bush, Obama, and Biden administration's over the past 25 years.
The US is waging a global war against multipolarism.
All the Trump administration is doing is repackaging the lies needed to keep this singular continuous agenda moving forward, maintaining at least partial public support for it, and carefully managing opposition in a predictable, left-right partisan and completely neutralized manner.
And it is unfortunately working all too well at least in part because of the continued failure, or even lack of a coherent multipolar counter-disinformation strategy.
