US is getting the war that it wanted

-

Recently in a letter to the E-R I wrote that the US wanted Putin to invade Ukraine.

To understand this, I recommend the Consortium News article, “Biden Confirms Why the US Needed This War”. https://consortium­news.com/2022/03/27/ can-russia-escape-the-ustrap/

Consortium News is an award winning independen­t news site.

The article contains links to sources. One link to the Washington Post’s David Ignatius’ September 1991 “Innocence Abroad: The New World of Spyless Coups” was unsettling, but eyeopening. Ignatius, still with the Washington Post as associate editor and columnist, is often a TV pundit. He wrote that “what used to be called “propaganda” can now simply be called informatio­n.”

Establishm­ent media’s world reporting is often government propaganda/ informatio­n, not objective facts.

It is understand­able that most people do not have the inclinatio­n, or the time to seek out independen­t media.

Most citizens do not realize that the US has been working to corner Putin/ Russia into an action that would give the US a chance to punish Putin/Russia with killing sanctions, weakening Russia, and possibly giving the US a chance to do regime change in Russia, as it did in Ukraine in 2014, and many other countries.

Putin had been thwarting the US in its desire to oust the elected government­s in Syria and Venezuela, and was a serious impediment to the US controllin­g the world.

Ukrainians are simply the convenient cannon fodder, and Ukraine the battlefiel­d for the US to prove that the US is King, and gets to make the rules.

The world needs wiser leadership.
