Which guarantees the continuation of the conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Western policy towards Russia, led by the US since the Clinton administration, has been a deliberate &#8216;project&#8217; born from the belief that the US had become the single most-powerful superpower after the fall of the USSR and that there was nothing the Russian Federation could do to resist her dominance and will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russia&#8217;s concerns be damned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expand NATO to the very borders of Russia, particularly in Ukraine and Georgia. Agitate within Russia for &#8216;regime change&#8217; and\/or the breakup of the federated republics of Russia. Cast Russia and Putin as &#8216;the enemy.&#8217; Lie &#8211; continually &#8211; in support of a thoroughly Russophobic narrative. Create, promote and support any anti-Putin &#8216;dissident&#8217; group within Russia, including Navalny. Push &#8211; and extend &#8211; Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ukraine itself was a keystone of that project, encapsulated in the US-fostered Maidan coup in 2014, the billions invested to control Ukraine&#8217;s media and political processes, the building of over a dozen CIA &#8216;stations&#8217; along the Ukraine\/Russia border, the investment in Biolabs within Ukraine, and the &#8216;Anti-Terrorist Operation&#8217; undertaken against the populations of southern and eastern Ukraine for eight years prior to 2022 using the full power of the western backed and trained Ukrainian Armed Forces (which included a significant and influential Nazi and Neo-Nazi element) against Ukraine&#8217;s own citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conflict in Ukraine is &#8211; more than any other facet (including the actions of Putin and Russia) &#8211; the making of the west; the child of deliberate, articulated, published US policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now that we have a US administration that appears to be prioritising peace and life over imaginary &#8216;security guarantees,&#8217; the rest of the west is seemingly insistent upon the continuation of war and death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8216;Security&#8217; is suddenly so important.
