3 Key Reasons for War in Ukraine

[georgephillip]

1. The desire to continue world domination by the US monetary system, in other words the dollar.
2. The maximum reduction in economic relations between Russia and the EU.

"The third reason is the desire to significantly weaken Russia and therefore its capacity to intervene in the future major conflict which will inevitably take place between the United States and China, and for which Russia is the latter’s energy and food 'rear base'.

"When the active phase of Sino-American hostilities begins, without Russia behind it, China’s economy will be doomed."

As soon as Putin came to power Russia, a leading energy power, began liquidating US Treasury bonds:

https://mronline.org/2023/07/13/the-war-in-ukraine-is-the-war-for-the-dollar/

"In five years, from 2010 to 2015, Russia halved the number of U.S. Treasury bills it held.

"Whereas it used to be one of the world’s biggest holders, it now has virtually none.

"At the same time, the Russian Federation has also begun to gradually separate itself from the petrodollar system by concluding trade agreements payable in national currencies, starting with China.

"Huge quantities of energy products began to be paid for in Chinese yuan and Russian rouble.

"These were the beginnings of the new war that began to be prepared and that we have known since February 2022."

The US dollar is a monkey's currency.
There's nothing behind it except US military domination that suppresses all discontent.
A 75 year reign is coming to an end.
Good riddance.

1. Russia's in no position to challenge that. Neither is China which depends heavily on trade with the U.S. and U.S. allies such as S. Korea and Japan.
2. Russia, which started this war, doesn't want that.
3. That explains why the U.S. has doled out enough aid to Ukraine to keep the Russians from winning.

1. A majority of the world sides with Russia and China in its disgust with the weaponized US dollar and the millions of dead, maimed, and displaced civilians its reign demands.

2. Henry Kissinger said "to be an enemy of America can be dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal."

https://mronline.org/2023/07/12/without-the-2014-coup-ukraine-would-be-living-in-peace/

"It is not Russia but the European Union that is the United States’ major competitor on the world market. Reducing European competitiveness by depriving them of one of the major factors in regulating the cost of their industrial production—cheap Russian energy—was one of the key elements of American foreign policy."

3. The US has doled out enough aid to ensure millions of Ukrainians (including military-aged males) have fled their homeland and hundreds of thousands have died on the cro$$ of American Exceptionali$m for all the usual reason$

What countries side with Russia? Any democracies? Given the long list of nations sending aid, I'd guess that you are lying.

What countries side with Russia? Any democracies? Given the long list of nations sending aid, I'd guess that you are lying.

No lies required when the US continues its full spectrum dominance across the entire planet.
Those countries destroyed by your heroic "good guys" for starters:

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2023/03/29/why-does-so-much-of-the-global-south-support-russia-not-ukraine

"More than 929,000 people have been killed in post-9/11 war zones across Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and others, places where western militaries have played a significant role in catastrophic violence.

"Experts estimate that many more times that number likely died because of the reverberating effects of war..."

"While the West has largely rallied behind Ukraine, pledging to do whatever it takes to help fend off Russian troops, many in the Global South hold a rather different view.

"Of course, the Global South is a big place. Attitudes towards the devastating war – now in its 14th month – vary considerably across Latin America, Africa, Asia and Oceania.

Of course, the Global South is a big place. Attitudes towards the devastating war – now in its 14th month – vary considerably across Latin America, Africa, Asia and Oceania.


However, opinion polls in places like China, India and Turkey show a clear preference for the war to end now – even if that means Ukraine having to give up territory.

When do you announce your love for those who maim, murder, and displace MILLIONS of innocent human beings on the opposite side of the planet from YOUR homeland?

Assad's army and the Russians are killing most of the people of Syria.
ISIS killed most people in Iraq. The Taliban was killing the most civilians in Afghanistan...

Not the US.

1. Nor could China realistically replace the U.S. without becoming still more vicious (if they even had the wherewithal).
2. So Russia is doing the U.S. a service by fighting this war.
3. No, if aid were greater there would be far less harm to civilians.

The Iran Biden just gave $6 billion to? The hell you say...

South Korea unfroze the 6 billion they have been holding since the late 1970s. Why lie?

Really? Biden gave them $6 billion or was it South Korea that released their money?

Not the US.

US sanctions and Operation Timber Sycamore hired killers are responsible for most of the deaths in Syria just as US invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan created ISIS and the Taliban; some things never change:

Most countries backing Russia are sick of US imperialism as are a majority of human beings on this planet. The US puppets ruling many of those states are paid to believe differently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_involvement_in_regime_change

"Since the 19th century, the United States government has participated and interfered, both overtly and covertly, in the replacement of many foreign governments.

"In the latter half of the 19th century, the U.S. government initiated actions for regime change mainly in Latin America and the southwest Pacific, including the Spanish–American and Philippine–American wars.

"At the onset of the 20th century, the United States shaped or installed governments in many countries around the world, including neighbors Hawaii, Panama, Honduras, Nicaragua, Mexico, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic."

Would you agree a majority of Iranians and Koreans agree it's time to end the killing even if that means Ukraine will be forced to give up territory? Russia is fully capable of waging the conflict for as long as necessary without Iran or Korea, but Ukraine is totally dependent on foreign aid for its resistance.

A majority of north Koreans are boiling dirt to eat to stay alive and could care less or know much about Russia

Iran...are busy hiding from morality police and the like and could care less
