Based on mainstream media, the Ukraine struggle goes nicely and Russia can be solidly defeated. We simply have to present Ukraine the means they should prevail. Nonetheless, as reported by Medea Benjamin and Nicolas Davies in an April 24, 2023, article in Salon journal,1 based mostly on an “huge leak of secret paperwork,” “that now seems like disinformation.” Who’s stunned?
“President Biden dismissed the leaks as revealing nothing of ‘nice consequence,’” Benjamin and Davies write.2
“What these paperwork reveal, nevertheless, is that the struggle goes worse for Ukraine than our political leaders have admitted to us, whereas going badly for Russia too, in order that neither facet is more likely to break the stalemate this 12 months and this can doubtless result in ‘a protracted struggle past 2023,’ as one of many paperwork says.
The publication of those assessments ought to result in renewed requires our authorities to stage with the general public about what it realistically hopes to realize by prolonging the bloodshed, and why it continues to reject the resumption of the promising peace negotiations it blocked in April 2022.
We imagine that blocking these talks was a dreadful mistake … and that present U.S. coverage is compounding that mistake at the price of tens of 1000’s extra Ukrainian lives and the destruction of much more of their nation.”
False Accounting on Each Sides
Based on the leaked paperwork — allegedly obtained and printed on social media by a 21-year-old Nationwide Guard member in a silly try to impress pals — each the Russians and the Ukrainians have systematically exaggerated enemy casualties whereas lowballing their very own.
Not surprisingly, the U.S. has publicly promoted the concept Russia has suffered larger casualties than Ukraine, “intentionally skewing public perceptions to help the notion that Ukraine can in some way win the struggle, so long as we simply preserve sending extra weapons,” Salon reviews.3
A few of the leaked struggle paperwork estimate the dying toll on either side of the battle is upward of 100,000, and once you embody the wounded, that quantity could also be as excessive as 350,000.
The paperwork additionally predict Ukraine’s dying toll could rise exponentially in Might or June as a result of, by then, Ukraine can have used up the air protection missiles supplied by NATO, which make up 89% of its air protection. At that time, Ukraine will turn out to be weak “to the total power of the Russian air power,” Salon reviews.
What’s extra, based on one doc,4 9 brigades which might be being educated in Poland, Romania, and Slovenia for a “spring offensive” scheduled for July or August 2023 had solely half the tools wanted and had obtained solely 15% of the mandatory battle coaching by the tip of February.
A second doc claimed the spring offensive was scheduled to start on the finish of April, which didn’t occur. Both manner, if the offensive does get launched earlier somewhat than later, that will imply most of the troops won’t be absolutely educated by the point they’re deployed. As reported by Benjamin and Davies:5
“The leaked paperwork conclude that ‘enduring Ukrainian deficiencies in coaching and munitions provides in all probability will pressure progress and exacerbate casualties throughout the offensive,’ and that the almost certainly final result stays solely modest territorial good points.”
That stated, Russia nonetheless doesn’t have 100% management over Bakhmut regardless of months of combating, which suggests Russia is scuffling with deficiencies of its personal. Taken collectively, one of many leaked paperwork predicts the struggle is “doubtless heading towards a stalemate” as either side have gotten locked right into a “grinding marketing campaign of attrition.”6
Are We Headed for World Warfare?
One other leaked doc additionally reveals NATO international locations, together with the U.Ok. and U.S., have despatched 97 particular forces to Ukraine. That is along with the CIA personnel, navy trainers and Pentagon contractors despatched beforehand, and the 20,000 troops from the 82nd and a hundred and first Airborne Brigades already deployed to the border of Poland and Ukraine.7,8
Some U.S. Congress members have expressed fear concerning the ramifications of continued U.S. involvement within the battle. In mid-April 2023, Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz launched a Privileged Decision of Inquiry9,10 to power President Biden to reveal the variety of U.S. navy personnel in Ukraine and the total extent of the administration’s plans to help Ukraine militarily. As famous in a Congressional press launch:11
“… the decision directs Secretary of Protection Lloyd Austin to reveal the variety of United States Armed Forces, together with particular operators, deployed to Ukraine with out Congressional authority.
With a purpose to adjust to the decision, the President and Secretary of Protection should ship the requested paperwork to the Home of Representatives inside 14 days of its adoption …
‘The Biden Administration and different allied international locations have been deceptive the world on the state of the struggle in Ukraine. There have to be whole transparency from this administration to the American individuals when they’re playing struggle with a nuclear adversary by having particular forces working in Ukraine …
My Privileged Decision of Inquiry will higher inform the Congress and the nation on the true state of our navy’s involvement within the struggle,’ stated Congressman Gaetz.”
Biden Shows Frighteningly Poor Management
Apparently, U.S. intelligence businesses are additionally confused about Biden’s plan, if there’s one. Based on a report by investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, U.S. intelligence sources declare a “whole breakdown of belief” between the White Home and components of the U.S. intelligence group:12
“The intelligence officers informed me that ‘there is no such thing as a proof that any senior official within the White Home actually is aware of what’s occurring within the 82nd and a hundred and first. Are they there as a part of a NATO train or to serve with NATO fight models if the West decides to interact Russians models inside Ukraine?
Are they there to coach or to be a set off? The foundations of engagement say they’ll’t assault Russians until our boys are getting attacked.’ ‘However the juniors are working the present right here,’ the official added.
‘There’s no NSC coordination and the U.S. military is on the brink of go to struggle. There’s no thought whether or not the White Home is aware of what’s occurring. Has the president gone to the American individuals with an informative broadcast about what’s going on? The one briefings the press and the general public get in the present day are from White Home spokespeople. ‘This isn’t simply dangerous management. There may be none. Zero.’”
US Taxpayers Bled Dry in Cash Laundering Operation
Biden additionally seems to be fully unconcerned about the truth that the Ukrainian authorities is stealing from U.S. taxpayers. As reported by Hersh, the U.S. is paying for the diesel the Ukrainian military wants.
However, members of the Ukrainian authorities are skimming thousands and thousands of {dollars} within the course of by buying discounted gas from Russia by way of entrance firms arrange in Poland and Czechia. In 2022, CIA analysts estimated the quantity of embezzled funds had already reached $400 million, if no more. Hersh writes:13
“The difficulty of corruption was straight raised with Zelensky in a gathering final January in Kiev with CIA director William Burns. His message to the Ukrainian president, I used to be informed by an intelligence official with direct information of the assembly, was out of a Fifties mob film.
The senior generals and authorities officers in Kiev have been offended at what they noticed as Zelensky’s greed … as a result of ‘he was taking a bigger share of the skim cash than was going to the generals.’”
Briefly, the Ukraine struggle is wanting increasingly more like a cash laundering operation during which U.S. tax {dollars} are being deliberately stolen for personal enrichment.
‘Breakdown of Belief’ Between White Home and US Intelligence
Biden’s lack of management and his blatant acceptance of the corruption in Ukraine aren’t the one issues undermining belief amongst members of the U.S. intelligence group. Based on Hersh’s sources, the dearth of political talent proven by Secretary of State Tony Blinken and Nationwide Safety Adviser Jake Sullivan can be inflicting severe issues.
Biden, Blinken and Sullivan “stay in several worlds than the skilled diplomats and navy and intelligence officers assigned to the White Home,” Hersh writes.14 Based on one intelligence official:
“They haven’t any expertise, judgment and ethical integrity. They only inform lies, make up tales. Diplomatic deniability is one thing else.”
Biden’s resolution to explode the Nord Stream pipelines with out conferring with the intelligence group is one other sticking level. “Destroying the Nord Stream pipelines was by no means mentioned, and even identified upfront, by the [intelligence] group,” Hersh’s supply informed him.
Biden clearly has no technique for ending the Ukraine struggle. On the identical time, intelligence officers warn Hersh that the Nationwide Intelligence Estimate course of has additionally seized up, so the U.S. has no plan for how you can reply if China invades Taiwan, for instance.
The Energy of Leaks
In an April 25, 2023, Washington Submit article,15 Daniel Ellsberg, chargeable for leaking the Pentagon Papers some 50 years in the past, spoke to journalist Devlin Barrett concerning the newest disclosure of categorized data.
Ellsberg, now 92 years previous, is dying of pancreatic most cancers. In 1971, whereas working on the Pentagon as a nuclear struggle planner,16 he leaked a big cache of secret authorities paperwork displaying the U.S. administrations knew full nicely we have been shedding the Vietnam Warfare and stored mendacity to the American public concerning the state of the struggle effort. He sees the identical factor taking place in the present day. He informed Barrett the struggle in Ukraine:
“… feels similar to Vietnam. The struggle is stalemated, that appears so apparent now apart from the truth that either side completely deny it. What these new leaks present is what the Pentagon Papers confirmed, that the insiders all know that. They know that they’re combating a stalemate.”
A Conspiracy to Commit Omnicide
As reported by Counterpunch,17 within the 5 many years since Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers, he’s been arrested greater than 80 instances for civil disobedience in opposition to struggle. In a latest podcast (video above), Ellsberg mentioned how “nuclear struggle planners, of which I used to be one,” are conspiring to “commit omnicide, or close to omnicide … the dying of everybody.”
“When Daniel Ellsberg leaked the Pentagon Papers in 1971, Henry Kissinger (then President Nixon’s nationwide safety advisor) known as him ‘essentially the most harmful man in America.’ However these carefully held secrets and techniques of the struggle in Vietnam have been much less explosive than the nuclear secrets and techniques that Ellsberg held in his protected,” Counterpunch writes.18
“Then a high strategist for the Protection Division, he had been celebration to plans for a nuclear holocaust. After being buried for safekeeping, these paperwork disappeared in a hurricane that actually blew away his secrets and techniques, however that didn’t dampen Ellsberg’s want to share what he knew.
At 92, with thoughts sharp as ever, Ellsberg stays an undisputed skilled on ‘nationwide safety.’ On this uncommon illustrated podcast,19 he shares his unvarnished ideas about the specter of nuclear annihilation and the way it is likely to be defused.
Can we merely ignore the truth of the world’s largest nuclear arsenals on hair-trigger alert — amid escalation of a brand new chilly struggle with heightened nuclear risks?
Certainly, the U.S. simply enacted its largest navy funds in historical past, with unprecedented funding in weapons of mass destruction and their deployment. We ignore this impending catastrophe and its impassioned opponent, Daniel Ellsberg, at our personal peril.”
Lies, Lies and Extra Lies
As beforehand detailed in “Lies Surrounding the Ukraine Warfare” and “How This US Lie Will Probably Result in Warfare,” authorities lies, and the media’s complicity, at the moment are threatening the lives of individuals world wide. Based on the official narrative, the Ukraine struggle is the results of an unprovoked and unjustified invasion by Russia, however that’s merely not true.
The true set off was NATO’s resolution to permit Ukraine to hitch. Russia has lengthy been very clear about the truth that it won’t enable Ukraine to hitch NATO, for the easy incontrovertible fact that it might place a NATO navy presence proper on its border. Russia desires Ukraine to stay an unbiased “buffer zone” between itself and NATO international locations.
Would the U.S. enable Mexico to type a navy alliance with China and set up Chinese language navy at our southern border? That’s extremely unlikely, but that’s what NATO is pursuing in Ukraine.
Since Russia’s entry into Ukraine, the U.S. has finished nothing however push for the escalation of battle, to the purpose that we’re now listening to predictions about nuclear struggle. Why would we take such dangers? To take a stand for Ukraine’s “proper” to hitch NATO? What concerning the existential risk that poses to Russia? Any diplomatic answer should take the pursuits of each events into consideration. Since NATO is refusing to take action, what selection does Russia have, actually?
What’s extra, the U.S. has poured billions of tax {dollars} into Ukraine, ostensibly to assist Ukraine “combat for freedom and protect democracy,” but Ukraine has lengthy been deemed probably the most corrupt international locations on the earth, and nobody is aware of the place all this cash goes. It’s no shock then to search out that a whole bunch of thousands and thousands of {dollars} have merely been embezzled. But the White Home retains insisting we ship extra. To what finish, precisely?
The White Home additionally denied duty for blowing up the Nord Stream pipeline — which is nothing in need of an assault on NATO allies — even after proof of its culpability got here out.
Based on Hersh, the “why” behind Biden’s resolution to explode the pipelines was threefold. First, it might massively influence Russia’s economic system. Second, eliminating Germany’s and Western Europe’s capacity to purchase low-cost fuel from Russia would power them to purchase U.S. fuel. And third, he feared Europe could be reluctant to produce Ukraine with cash and weapons in the event that they have been reliant on Russian fuel.
World Warfare — Half 2 of The Nice Reset Plan
All in all, the Biden administration seems hell-bent on escalating the battle in Ukraine. The query is why, when escalation would doubtless flip right into a nuclear world struggle? Is that what they need? And in that case, why?
Russia’s perspective is that it is combating an existential risk in Ukraine. In the meantime, proof suggests the idea for the US’ curiosity in, and protection of, Ukraine is expounded to it being a priceless cash laundering hub and, probably, a secret organic weapons manufacturing ally.
Furthermore, let’s not neglect that Biden’s resolution to ship U.S. Armed Forces, together with particular forces, to Ukraine passed off with out Congressional oversight or authority.
As People, we can’t be naïve about any of this, seeing the way it’s our lives that can be destroyed have been Russia to ship nuclear missiles our manner. Europeans additionally want to look their souls to find out whether or not defending Deep State pursuits is absolutely well worth the value.
As reviewed in a earlier article, world struggle seems to be Section 2 of The Nice Reset plan, which incorporates the destruction of provide chains, the power sector, meals provide and workforce, to create dependency on authorities, which in flip can be taken over by non-public pursuits and central banks by the collapse of the worldwide economic system.
Placing an finish to the Ukraine struggle might go a great distance towards thwarting that plan. At naked minimal, it might drastically delay the ultimate implementation of The Nice Reset, giving us time to work out different options.
