The Absolutely Stupid, Complete Waste of Time, Fabricated Ukraine "Crisis"

 

I had this to say about this nonsense about a week ago:

I'll just leave off by saying it is nauseating that in this era of REAL world crises (especially COVID and Global Warming) that Biden (or whatever is pulling his strings) sees fit to waste our time with this bullshit.  That he's able to posture like this despite his supporting the holocausts in Yemen, and Iraq, as well as the crimes against democracy across the US empire.  And the fact that there are millions of idiots who are stupid enough to take all this garbage seriously.

And I get increasingly disgusted with it everytime Biden or Blinken continue to babble on about it.  We, the human species, dominated by the anti-human political-economy of capitalism, have very real problems to deal with.  Global Heating and a worldwide viral pandemic and mass extinctions of other lifeforms (caused by us) to name only a few.  And yet, to the extent that his age-deteriorated brain (never a top-of-the-line model to begin with) is capable, Joseph Robinette Biden genuinely expects us to care about his totally manufactured Ukrainian crisis.

Yes. It's a complete fabrication.  I've said it over and over again at this blog: Vladimir Putin does not want war with the USA or anyone else because his country cannot afford a war.  Not because Putin is an angel.  Putin is not a saint.  He is not a puppy dog.  He is not a great statesman.  He is a guy who has stayed at the top of the Russian state longer than anyone else since the fall of the USSR and he probably wants his country to succeed because it would make him look good.  Ordinary Russians see him as infinitely preferable to the sort of person who would be acceptable to the maniacs in Washington, given their experience with Washington's former puppet Boris Yeltsin.

Russia clearly wanted to join the US-led "international community."  Unfortunately for them, Washington has always hated continued Russian claims of independence.  More importantly, the USA's military-industrial complex needs enemies to "justify" its grotesque theft of US taxpayers' dollars and maintain its profit levels.  These two issues are the reasons behind Biden and Blinken's phony concerns for the people of the Ukraine. Russia doesn't want war and it doesn't want to conquer the Ukraine because it can't afford to do either.

[O]f course, we absolutely do not need to fight for Ukraine to the last Ukrainian, we certainly do not want to fight there. All this squealing about the fact that we are going to capture Kiev, it is about nothing. Yes, our military is standing at the Ukrainian border, but only so that on the other side it does not occur to anyone to break into the Donbass. And the capture of Ukraine in our military plans, I'm sure, is not included. If only for the reason that capturing a country that is castrated economically, morally and intellectually, a country with a destroyed infrastructure and an embittered population is the worst-case scenario. The worst thing America can do for us is to give us Ukraine in the form they brought it to.

It's non-stop with the New Cold War against Russia (which has a GDP smaller than Canada's).  Putin destroyed the USA's non-existent democracy by stealing the 2016 election from Saint Hillary Clinton and giving it to his puppet Trump.  (False. False.)  Putin paid bouties to the Taliban to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan. (False.)

And what's worse than a fabricated, bullshit international crisis?  One that's built on a mountain of hideous hypocrisy.  Why the fuck are we supposed to think that Biden, or Trudeau, or anyone else pushing this crapola cares about the people of the Ukraine?  Trudeau doesn't care about Canada's First Nations. He doesn't care about the Palestinians.  He doesn't care about Yemenis.  He's still selling weapons to the monarchical dictatorship misogynist genocidal government of Saudi Arabia.  Biden and Blinken hate Black people. They hate Palestinians. Biden has the blood and trauma of millions of Iraqis, Afghans, Syrians, and others on his hands.  Biden has bragged about his involvement in the policies of several Latin American countries even though all those policies produced has been atrocities.  (It's possible that Biden is too stupid, arrogant, ignorant and delusional to grasp this reality, but even if that were true, who thinks he would give a shit were someone to strap him down, gag his stupid mouth, and force-feed him the truth?)

At fifty-five years of life, and a few decades of following the news, I've come to the conclusion that one must never, never, never ever listen to our elites when they're crying over some horrible tragedy in some foreign country.  The only time they ever do this is when they want to crush and official enemy just for being an official enemy.  Give the scumbags in Washington, London, Brussells, Ottawa any respect for their lies just leads to the Vietnam War, the destruction of human rights in Latin America, horror and bloodshed in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria.  

Are Russia and China governed by saints? Of course not.  But being foreign governments you have zero ability to impact their decision-making processes.  If you want to criticize their more egregious crimes, feel free to do so.  But NEVER get behind the assholes leading our governments and their hypocritical campaigns against them.  Because then you're just being a stupid patsy.  You should spend more time going after your own governments.  You should spend more time telling them to STFU about Venezuela, Russia, Nicaragua, Iran, etc., ... and to stop with the murderous sanctions and the support for death squads and the land-theft and apartheid in Palestine and the depredations of Canadian mining companies in the LDC's. Look! Our rulers don't even care about us? Why would you think they care about other ordinary people thousands of miles away?
