“We’re here to dig in our spurs" — says Lloyd Austin — as puppet Lithuania heaps fuel on the Ukrainian fire

19 Jun 2022

The Biden administration is, evidently . . .

. . . renewing its attempt to start World War 3.

Lithuania just severed Russia's ability to supply Kaliningrad over land in violation of an existing treaty with Russia.

One can assume that this inflammatory escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War was directed by the United States.

Presumably so as to distract Americans, who are anticipating 2022's midterm elections, from recognizing just how bad the Biden administration has been for We the People.

From the Washington Post:

The United States and its allies are making preparations for a prolonged conflict in Ukraine, officials said, as the Biden administration attempts to deny Russia victory by surging military aid to Kyiv while scrambling to ease the war’s destabilizing effects on world hunger and the global economy.

“We’re here to dig in our spurs,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said after convening dozens of nations in Brussels to pledge greater support for Kyiv.

The decision to supply Ukraine with increasingly sophisticated arms such as anti-ship missiles and long-range mobile artillery — capable of destroying significant military assets or striking deep into Russia — reflects a growing willingness in Western capitals to risk unintended escalation with Russia.

The support appears to have emboldened the government of President Volodymyr Zelensky, who this week vowed to retake all of Russian-controlled Ukraine, even areas annexed by Moscow long before Russian President Vladimir Putin’s Feb. 24 invasion.

"[O]ur guiding light is that the outcome of Russia being able to achieve its maximalist demands is really bad for the United States, really bad for our partners and allies, and really bad for the global community,” the State Department official said.

Are Russia's allegedly "maximalist demands" . . .

. . . actually "bad for the United States"?

Who of objectively astute mind would conclude that, when the only Americans with actual interests in Ukraine amount to:

the Biden and Clinton figurative quasi-crime families

as well as

the Military Industrial Complex's biowarfare subterfuge wing?

Yet, happily for American neocons who are always in search of a pretended national interest to protect and warmonger — General Mark Milley recently drew an obviously false historical parallel to World War 2.

When the truth won't serve, lie:

[On D-Day's anniversary] the top Pentagon general [Mark Milley] said Monday that Ukrainians are “experiencing the same horrors that the French citizenry experienced in World War II at the hands of the Nazi invaders,” drawing a direct comparison between Russia’s invasion of its neighbor and a conflict fought on the nearby beaches of Normandy 78 years ago.

“Aggression cannot be allowed to succeed,” he said.

“Otherwise, everything that these guys fought for and died for on Omaha Beach means nothing. We can’t allow that to be. We can’t allow them to have died in vain.”

So magically, according to Milley . . .

. . . those 1944 Americans on Omaha Beach died to prevent Russians today from protecting themselves from Nazi Ukrainians' deadly assaults on Donetsk and Lugansk.

These honored Omaha Beach dead, Milley implied, would fully support American sponsorship of a new Nazi generation in Ukraine.

In view of Milley's very substantial education, he knows better. The man is either abysmally stupid, deliberately manipulating, excessively venal, or simply sociopathic.

In any event, he disgraces both Truth and the history of his uniform. As well as in-their-faces insulting the intelligence and personal honor of those American dead, who lie just above Omaha Beach.

The cemetery there is a place that I have visited in somber and honor-bestowing silence. Nazi-approvers, the dead who lie there, certainly were not.

The idea of the Omaha Beach dead favoring today's murdering Ukrainian Nazis over and against actively Nazi-fighting Russians will not fly in any intellectually and morally worthy, or historically accurate discussion.

For added perspective

Recall that the United States instigated the Russo-Ukrainian War on purpose, via our incessant encirclement of Russia.

Furthermore, in the responsibility-assigning department, the foreseeably boomeranging economic repercussions that we imposed on Russia were of our own doing.

In short, the United States imbecilically created a self-destructive situation for itself and Europe, on both counts.

And now, to compound this egregious display of nitwittedness, we are vigorously pushing the planet still further toward the brink of Really Bad Things happening.

This is leadership, General?

Mr. Secretary?

And what about our . . .

. . . allegedly shining American morality?

Below is video recording the Ukrainian military's shelling of civilians in Donetsk.

Reporter Patrick Lancaster and his cameraman interviewed people, who were dodging the Ukrainian artillery assault:

Patrick Lancaster, Many Dead as Ukraine Artillery Hits Donetsk Harder than Ever before, YouTube (19 June 2022)

One segment shows two women carrying full shopping bags. They run for an extended distance, as shells fall nearby. See video at 10:07 minutes.

Another shows an exploded shop, with reportedly three dead people in the rubble — one of whom is visible in the video clip. See video at 25:38 minutes.

An elderly woman, sheltering in a nearby basement with many other ordinary folk, states that she survived the [Great] Patriotic War. And now continues this second one, which has already lasted 8 years. See video at 01:38 minutes.

Speaking to Lancaster, with shells exploding outside, she blames Americans and Biden.

A number of other people throughout the video do also.

They angrily wonder why America and Poland are supplying the Ukrainian military with the weapons with which murder them. See video at 23:37 minutes.

They point out that there are no military facilities or troops anywhere near where they are.

Watching Lancaster's numerous videos, it becomes persuasively clear that this allegation (about the absence of military targets) is legitimate.

The Ukrainian shelling makes no military sense. Ukraine's continual artillery sprinkles on civilians showcase their Nazi-controlled mentality. The result is randomly killing Russian-heritage civilian people, just to be killing them.

Recall, for moral emphasis, that the Zelensky regime's Nazi-led 'murder endeavor' has been going on since 2014.

And, furthermore, that the Russian invasion of Ukraine began after Ukraine massed troops on the Donetsk border in early 2022.

The fact that the NATO Block created, arms, financially supports and motivates Nazi-led Ukraine's effort to extinguish lives — should twist any humanely inclined person's gut.

The moral? — Is Satan's Essence, an American perfume?

I anticipate that Russia, typically more geopolitically foresighted than the United States, will not take the Lithuanian bait and will instead supply Kaliningrad by sea.

However, if the US decides to directly (or indirectly, via NATO proxy) interdict those sea lanes, you can bet World War 3 will light itself into existence.

Lapdog Lithuania will then cease to exist. Having become an unremarkable and thoroughly pissant casualty of Lithuania's own suicidal stupidity.

In addition to that, a whole bunch of (foreseeably by-then under fire Americans) are going to find themselves asking the same questions that civilians in Donetsk are asking today.

So do tell me, how does:

(a) enthusiastically supporting Ukrainian Nazis

and

(b) continually escalating this war (which we provoked) . . .

. . . qualify as an exhibition of capable Western leadership in any geopolitically worthwhile sense?

Maybe Lloyd Raytheon has your (lying) answer.
