Neocons across the nations within the collective west see instability & war as the very best tool with which to initiate change. That the consequences are fatal for millions doesn't faze them a bit.
Even the Russian soldiers who have seen their comrades die or be grievously wounded without doubt have sympathy for the hapless men dragged forcibly off the streets of Ukraine and sent to fight them. They are cannon-fodder sent straight into a meat-grinder.
Imagine the scene. One minute you are on your way to work, thinking about having an early morning coffee at the office… when suddenly you are accosted by several burly men in army fatigues. You try to protest, telling them you have a wife and two kids at home who depend on you for support. But they have heard all this many times before and insist you must come with them. In vain you try to run away but they are well used to this situation and the hand that was loosely on your upper left arm now tightens while another of the small band grabs the left. Before you know it you are dragged bodily into a waiting van and within weeks you are in a trench on the front lines.
This is happening ever more frequently due to the fervor to join the fight against Russia waned and died over a year ago now. Now the energy of that fervor is channeled to escaping the country or even in seeking out Ukrainian mobilization vehicles after midnight and burning them to a blackened shell. Or perhaps you never leave your apartment any more, friends, your wife or your children bring you food and news of how things are on the street. Or, in the case of a few you take the embarrassing step of dressing up in female attire, sticking a wig or disguising hat on your head to venture out.
Zelensky is very far from popular in Ukraine now and these are some of the reasons why. The main reason of course is the deep and abiding torment and trauma he has inflicted upon Ukraine with his war. Casualties, dead and wounded, amount to something around 600,000. Amputations and blood transfusions along with major surgery of all kinds take up most of the health care system across Ukraine. No one believes in the war being waged now. It is common knowledge that this is the West’s war being waged by Ukrainians who are mere pawns in this “game”.
You will have heard the various American voices talk of how this is all going so well because they are fighting Russia but not losing a single U.S. serviceman. And, in recent days you may have come across Senator Lindsey Graham talk of Ukraine’s great mineral wealth and how that could be exploited. Pity the poor Ukrainians then who will not only see just about every family lose someone close to them but, after this is all over (and it must end sometime) be sold into work slavery by western companies such as Blackrock. Not exactly what was imagined when the West-supported Maidan insurrection and coup brought down the president and government of their country in 2014.
So, the war drags on. The western powers need it to. They don’t suffer, well, not the elites at least, their populations do, but not them. As they see it Russia is tied up in a war they need to keep going. Despite the fact that the Russian economy and Russia’s prospects have strengthened, they still fervently hope for Russia to take a downturn at some points and become weaker. With 30+ nations queuing to join Russia in the BRICS group is this likely however? With allies such as China, India, Saudi Arabia and Iran plus many others such as Vietnam, Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia and Thailand… what chances does the Neocon scheme to bring Russia down have in reality?
But, Neocons work in the field of fantasy, fantasizing that they can transform the world against its wishes, running roughshod over sovereignty, and the strength of feeling within countries of nationhood, independence, patriotism and national pride. Really? How easy do you think that will be? But do they care? They have no plan B and no reverse gear, the juggernaut they are on has no brakes and is on perpetual automatic pilot. Anything other than their reality is anathema to them. In their infinitely arrogant,massively egotistical, fixed positions, there is no earthly alternative. For them it doesn’t matter how long it takes. Their forever war MUST continue.
For those who are now running the western show, there is no turning back. From 9/11 on they have been in sole command and nothing on earth is going to unseat them or make them change their totally fixed opinions and plans one iota. This is why you can give up any hope you might have of their wars ending anytime soon. They will pursue them to the absolute bitter end. This too is why, if you wish to preserve even the remotest prospect of a peaceful, stable and predictably secure world for your children, you should support with everything you’ve got, Russia, China and the rise of the BRICS and through them, a multipolar world.
Otherwise, with good men and women doing nothing about the bad guys, the wars will grind on… forever.
