Ukraine Update: US Prepares to Feed Europe Next into Proxy War on Russia

Añadido: 2026-05-30

[00:00:00]Today is May 29th, 2026.

[00:00:03]I want to talk about the US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. It has been a bit of a while since I've done an update on the situation in Ukraine, and that's more or less because it has been the same story. Uh, up until now, things are starting to change a little bit. So, I want to go to the map first and show you. This is liveuamap.com.

[00:00:29]It is a pro- Ukrainian map. It is basically the visualization of the Ukrainian general staff uh reports what they claim is taking place uh in on and over and around the battlefield. So if we zoom in, well this is Ukraine, obviously this is Crimea which passed a referendum in 2014 to rejoin the Russian Federation. And all of this in red is territory even Ukraine itself admits Russia controls.

[00:00:59]It stretches from Kanan Zaparosia and across the Donbas region. There is also uh parts of Harkov and Sunumi under Russian control.

[00:01:14]And the last time I showed you this map, the last time I did an update, this map showed most of Pacross under Russian control and they still showed Mirgrad as partially encircled. Now you can see even Ukraine admits both cities are completely controlled by Russia as well as considerable territory to the west.

[00:01:43]The Russian forces are right now what they're doing right now on the battlefield is they are managing a series of Ukrainian counter offensives in the south in Zaparosia. These are this is what Ukraine does every single year. They pick one or two or several spots on the map and they commit these expensive, costly, I would say ultimately futile counter offensives to take territory temporarily, show show the world that they're still somehow in the fight. It's also meant to convince Ukrainians that they're still somehow in the fight. But ultimately, it's at the cost of manpower, equipment, ammunition that they cannot replace.

[00:02:29]They cannot reconstitute uh their manpower, their ammunition, their equipment faster than they're losing it in these offensives, which is why they ultimately uh become stalemates and then are and and then are eventually rolled back.

[00:02:43]That was the case. Uh remember they went into Korsk and they took territory inside internationally recognized Russian territory and this was touted by the western media the entire time as some sort of turning point and that's the theme of this update. This supposed turning point the western media insist Ukraine is at right now. I'm just trying to refresh your memory. There were many turning points advertised by the western media that were simply costly stunts performed by the US and the Ukrainian proxies at great cost to human life, equipment, ammunition that they cannot replace. So every time they commit to these costly offensives, it tilts the war, which is a war of attrition, even further in Russia's favor. So there's a managing of Ukrainian offensives here in Zaparosia.

[00:03:41]Russian forces are now committed to taking Katosk and Slavansk. This these are the last major cities in the Dambas region Russia has yet to take. And I explained once they took Pacross and Mirnograd here and approached Lehman here to the north, they would begin an operational encirclement of these two urban areas.

[00:04:08]They would tighten control around this territory and then eventually they will take Kronatos and Slaviance. It's a matter of time. There are already drones and missiles and artillery systems, complicating logistics supplying manpower, re reinforcements and equipment to Katosk and Slavians. And of course, there's an ongoing fight over Constantinovka, which is part of this urban buildup.

[00:04:38]Russia will have to take this to tighten the encirclement of Slavian and Kromatsk itself. And so when they talk about a stalemate, they say this every single time. Russian forces advance across the battlefield at a fairly fast pace. Then when they reach these heavily fortified cities, they have to stop. They cannot just roll over the city. It is heavily fortified. Urban warfare is different than combat out in unpopulated areas.

[00:05:12]uh the ability to fortify it and defend it is so much greater in an urban environment than say out on a a flat plane or across farmland.

[00:05:24]So when they reach these cities that they're then besieging, everything is going to stop in terms of taking territory, but the war of attrition continues and it continues in favor of Russia. We we saw the exact same pattern take place when Russian forces advanced upros and Mir Ngrad and then the Western media said, "See, Russian forces have been stopped in their tracks." I I even remember doing a video on exactly the same topic. They were stopped in their tracks by the Ukrainians. And I warned, no, they weren't stopped in their tracks. They are stopping to encircle and besiege Paproskirn. As soon as they're done doing that, and that's what the map shows, as soon as they're done doing that, they're going to continue rapidly moving west. And then when they get to the next objective, which is now uh the focus is on Kromatos and Slaviance right here, it'll stop again and they will just slowly tighten the cordin around this urban area and they will take it. Plus, they have to manage the the Ukrainian counteroffensives launched elsewhere along the line of contact to try to take pressure off of these besieged cities. This is what's been going on since 2022. This is basically how the entire war has been fought. I want to read an article that I wrote for New Eastern Outlook. First, West says Ukraine is now winning and why it is lying again. Yet again, I'm going to read this article and then it's to set the stage for the most recent and I would say the most dangerous uh juncture this conflict has arrived at. And that is I I would tell you uh just up front. So as we're reading the article, you can see how it's building toward that the United States understands that Russia continues to grind Ukraine down and it is preparing to feed the rest of Europe into its proxy war with Russia. I've warned about this all along since 2022. I said they're feeding Ukraine in first and then they will feed other nations in as necessary.

[00:07:30]I've said that for years and I warned specifically when the Trump administration came and it's not because the Trump administration thought about it. It's just they happen to be in office as this is becoming necessary. I warned in 2025 when US Secretary of Defense Pete Hgsth uh gave a directive to Europe in Brussels telling them, "We're going to do a division of labor.

[00:07:54]The United States needs to wage war on other countries elsewhere for its pursuit of global primacy. Europe needs to double down, invest in, and prepare to eventually fight within Ukraine against Russia." They were telling Europe, "Get ready for war. you're next.

[00:08:13]We're calling you up next. And I've warned people since then that that's the direction everything is going to go in.

[00:08:20]And then uh relatively recently we saw NATO demand NATO members not not just go from 3% of your GDP to 5% spending on defense and spending on on NATO, but now an additional percentage of their GDP specifically for the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine. So there was that and now we're seeing articles like this from the Wall Street Journal. And every day if you listen to Alex and Alexander of the Duran, every single day they are covering news stories of Europe, European leaders preparing their population for direct war with Russia.

[00:09:00]And this is the Wall Street Journal.

[00:09:02]Europe is starting to think Putin will expand the war beyond Ukraine. And I have explained if you translate this into reality, it is actually the US telling Europe, you're going into our proxy war night. We're feeding you into it next. get ready for war with Russia.

[00:09:18]If you just read the first sentence, Russia is stuck on the Ukrainian battlefield and lashing out with massive strikes on Kiev. The growing fear in European capitals is that President Vladimir Putin will try to reshuffle the cards by expanding the conflict in Europe. If you're stuck on the battlefield in Ukraine, and I just explained on the map why that is.

[00:09:36]It's a combination of stabilizing these Ukrainian counter offensives that take place every year and the fact that they've run up against these heavily fortified cities that they are determined to take. But let's just say they were stuck on the the Ukrainian battlefield because they're losing the war. Why would you then start an even larger war with the rest of Europe? What sense does that make? It makes zero sense. But the the whole point of this is to convince the European public that it isn't the US forcing Europe into a proxy war with Russia. It's somehow Russia presenting an existential threat to Europe, which requires European people to give up all of their social programs, take all of their money, dump it into military spending, and an unnecessary war with Russia, a country Europe had been working closer and closer together with until the US illegally, violently overthrew the Ukrainian government in 2014 and deliberately provoked this war in the first place. And I cover all of that in the article. So, let's just uh go to this article. I'm going to start to read it and I and you will see how this article that was published May 25th and it is now May 29th, you will see how this connects with these most recent developments and the reality that is taking shape on the battlefield. So, a recent article published in the Kiev Independent titled, "Is Ukraine starting to win the war again?"

[00:11:05]Every time you see a question in a headline, the answer is almost certainly no. And I even say that that tests the maximum that if you need to ask, the answer is probably no. Let's look at the headline here. Is Ukraine starting to win the war again? I mean, again, if if it was, you wouldn't have to ask a question. You would just lay out why Ukraine is is winning. And starting to win the war again suggests that they were losing. admittedly losing. That's what a headline like this does. It admits that Ukraine was losing. They're trying to create the illusion that now somehow they're winning.

[00:11:43]But if you read the article carefully and to the Kiev independence credit, they basically admit no, Ukraine is not is not winning. And I will explain. As the collective media, Western media has done since 2022, the Kiev independent sites flatlined Russian territorial gains and expanding drone strikes deep inside Russian territory. The article attributes to Ukraine, but uh we know for a fact that these drone strikes in Russia, supposedly carried out by Ukraine. The New York, this is the New York Times. It admits in secret the Central Intelligence Agency, the CIA, and the US military, with US President Donald Trump's blessing supercharge a Ukrainian campaign of drone strikes on Russian oil facilities and tankers to hobble Mr. Putin's war machine. This has been going on before President Trump ever took office. The the US has been running this war against Russia, simply laundering it politically through Ukraine. There are other New York Times articles that admit the entire war against Russia and Ukraine is being commanded by US officers in a base in Germany and everything is subordinate to them including the entire Ukrainian armed forces.

[00:12:57]So it is a US war on Russia simply being fought through Ukraine. These drone strikes on Russia, supposedly carried out by Ukraine, are overseen, enabled, and directed by the United States. The maritime drone strikes on tankers carrying Russian energy in the Black Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic, off the west coast of Africa, these are all being carried out by the US military, not the Ukrainian military.

[00:13:23]The collective Western media is citing flatlined Russian territorial gains and these high-profile drone strikes in Russia, all as evidence of growing Russian weakness and increasing Ukrainian strength. And here's a recent example from DW News. And of course, this is the Institute for the Study of War based in the US. And they've been one of the primary propaganda outlets perpetuating this myth that somehow Ukraine can turn the tide. Here's another question. Is this the moment Ukraine has been waiting for? Another question. And again, if you have to ask the question, the answer is no. But the one thing I want to point out f first of all, ISW, you have to listen to this whole video and how he qualifies the metrics he claims indicate Ukraine is turning the tide. So at one point he says Ukraine is has for the first time in years taken back more territory than they lost. Then he admitted that it was a very minuscule amount. And then if you listen carefully, he admitted it was just over the course of like maybe a week or two. So it was one of those counter offensives in Zaparosia as Russian forces came up against the heavily fortified positions in Chromatos and Slavians. So he's he's cherrypicking and misinterpreting the data. And then he's also deliberately misrepresenting it because if you listen to him carefully, he's he's talking about over this entire 2026, all all of these months now, he's talking about like a week or two where Ukraine had a tiny, even if these metrics are even true, a tiny amount more territory than they actually lost. But he's still admitting they're losing territory. But anyway, here's another thing I want to point out. Just incidentally, this DW news report, DW being German state media, the first 10 seconds, who is this? Andre Bolinski, Ukrainian Bri Brigadier General. What's that in the background? That is a Nazi wolf's angle.

[00:15:26]An LED yellow glowing Nazi wolf's angle right over his shoulder featured on German state media DW News.

[00:15:35]And they don't say any of that to the audience. They don't tell you who he is, why there's a Nazi symbol behind him.

[00:15:42]They're just saying Andre Bulitzky, he's a Ukrainian brigadier general, and he says Ukraine is going to win. I want to share with you this older Telegraph article. It's from 2014, Ukraine Crisis.

[00:15:53]The neo-Nazi brigade fighting pro-Russian separatists. Do you know which brigade it is? The brigade that he's the general of. And and who features this as their official unit insignia? They mention Bitzky by name. A former history student and amateur boxer. Mr. Bolitzky is also head of an extremist Ukrainian group called the Social National Assembly. The historic mission of our nation is the critical movement is to lead the white races in capital letters of the world in a final crusade for their survival. he wrote in a recent commentary. So, this wasn't something he said as a a pimple-faced high school student. This is something he said recently as the US was overthrowing Ukraine in 2014. A crusade against the semileled unmanin.

[00:16:44]And I don't care if I'm pronouncing that right or not. It is German. It's the Nazi term used for what they considered subhumans, which was anyone that that wasn't white, basically. And they mentioned the Nazi wolf angle also by name. Right here they have the old flag which was a much more obvious Nazi wolf angle. And it says the Azov men used the neo-Nazi wolf's angle wolf's hook symbol on their banner and members of the battalion are openly white supremacists or anti-semmites. And that is the same exact symbol that is over his shoulder in this video published ju just just yesterday. just yesterday from when I'm publishing this. And so this is German state media, Germany as a nation pretending to oppose their Nazi past while openly promoting Ukraine's Nazi present and perpetuating this lie that somehow Ukraine can turn the tide and win the war. And why why are they doing that? first to keep Ukrainians dying in a futile war they cannot win and eventually sell this war to Europe itself and get them drawn into it and have them self-destruct in the same way Ukraine has under Nazis like Andre Bolitzki and his US handlers. Now, let me get back to the article I was reading and specifically the Kiev independent peace uh and how it itself was admitting that the war in Ukraine is a war of attrition and and also admitting essentially that Russia is winning that war of attrition. However, a war of attrition is not measured in territory or headlines. In reality and even as the article itself admits, the war is not one of territorial gains or headline grabbing drone strikes, but one of attrition. At one point, the article even admits, this is a quote from the article, the upper hand will be gained by the side in whose favor the long attritional fight is running. In any war of attrition, the primary factors lending leverage to one side over another is military-industrial production. Who who has greater military-industrial production? Russia or Ukraine and its western backers.

[00:18:56]Russia does admittedly and the ability to maintain or expand trained manpower by and and that's also obviously Russia, not Ukraine. By implication, this also means the ability to maintain the economic, social, and political stability required to support these enabling factors. Here the Kiev independent itself concedes Russia wins out big in both categories and it emits this is another direct quote from the article. Russia continues to be able to steadily recruit between 30 and 35,000 new soldiers per month enabling Moscow to sustain its losses on the battlefield. And that, and this is another direct quote, Moscow aims to produce 7.3 million FPVs in 2026. Not 7.3 million drones in total. 7.3 million FPV drones specifically. These are the the very small drones that an operator guides. They're wearing a headset. They can see what the drone is seeing, and they guide it to a specific target. Just those alone, 7.3 million. While the Kiev independent claims the quality of those 30 to 35,000 Russian troops recruited each month are low, poorly trained and poorly equipped in the field. This is a a stereotype the West has established for years and years. It avoids discussing Ukraine's recruitment struggles. This includes the fact that unlike Russia's recruited manpower who voluntarily signed contracts, they're not being pressed into service. Much of Ukraine's manpower is pressed into service. sometimes literally being beaten into submission and dragged to the front line. And as they're being dragged to the front line, they're not given nearly enough training even to just basically survive daily combat, let alone excel at it.

[00:20:43]Regarding drone production, other Ukraine based sources here, so here is uh the Kiev Post, Ukraine emerges as drone superpower, producing 4 million UAVs a year. Not UA, not 4 million FPVs alone. 4 million drones all together total. So that's about half of just the FPV drones Russia is making every single year. Think about that. It should be pointed out that in addition to Russia outproducing Ukraine and in reality Ukraine's American and European sponsors, because it's not Ukraine doing this, it's it's the US and Europe, their their industrial base. They're making these. They send them to Ukraine.

[00:21:26]They're assembled in Ukraine and then they claim made in Ukraine. The vast majority of all of this is being made by the West and simply to to launder the US war against Russia through Ukraine. It has to be made in Ukraine. Not just in terms of drones, an area of supposed Ukrainian strength.

[00:21:46]Russia continues outproducing Ukraine and its Western sponsors in all other categories of conventional military power as well, from artillery shells and precisiong guided missiles to armored vehicles and anti-aircraft systems. The article repeats recent talking points circulating throughout Wall Street uh funded Washington-based policy think tanks regarding the cutting off of Russian forces from use of US-based SpaceX's Starlink satellite communication network.

[00:22:16]For some reason, this is a huge news story. They've been somehow cut off from it. Nobody takes into account ways Russia can probably work around that or the fact that they almost certainly have other alternatives. They weren't depending on unauthorized access to an enemy system to run all of their combat operations is a is a very unrealistic proposition. But again, that's the theme of Western propaganda surrounding this war all along since 2022. closing off access to Russia to Space X's Starlink, as well as high-profile drone strikes deep inside Russia, threatening to risk what Western pundits call breaking the key social contract at the heart of Putin's rule. That's another quote from the KV independent article. And what they mean by that is, Russia depends on creating the illusion of peace and prosperity at home while fighting this war in next door Ukraine. And if the US, Europe, and the Europe Ukrainian proxies can shatter that illusion, then it will undermine the social contract the Russian government has with the Russian people, and that could create internal division and unrest within Russia.

[00:23:27]However, none of these claims, whether real or imagined, impact the fundamental factors that either win or lose a war of attrition. Drone strikes on Russia have targeted energy production, storage, and export facilities, manufacturing centers, and other infrastructure critical for both Russia's military and economic viability. There's no doubt that these drones are hitting vital targets all across Russia, and that it is a problem and that it is creating a cost for Russia. While these strikes have caused damage, it has not been at a pace greater than Russia's capacity to repair and or adapt to the strikes.

[00:24:03]Russia is a massive country. It has been hitting Ukraine many times harder and more frequently than these US backed drone strikes on Russia. And if Russia can't win the war against Ukraine with many times more missiles and drones striking a much smaller country with all of its infrastructure concentrated in a smaller area, then what are the chances of a much smaller drone and missile campaign somehow toppling or or complicating matters in in Russia, which is so much bigger and has so much more total infrastructure. Think think about that.

[00:24:41]The drone strikes have raised the costs for Russia of the ongoing US proxy war, but have not changed the overall math of attrition that favors Russia owed to its structural advantages, its massive military industrial base, its massive industrial base in general, huge amounts of trained manpower that they're able to constantly regenerate one month to the next. And while this might seem like a fundamental failure for the US, okay, so you're saying the US is raising the cost for Russia, but they're not winning the war. They're not going to be able to win this war against Russia and Ukraine. So that equals a US failure, right? Not necessarily. It is actually precisely what US policymakers set out to do as laid out in policy papers stretching back years before the Russian operation began in 2022. And I guess people who are familiar with my work know where I'm going with this. There's a 2019 Rand Corporation paper titled Extending Russia: Competing from Advantageous Ground. The table of contents reveal a number of measures. Economic measures, geopolitical measures, ideological andformational measures, air and space measures, maritime measures, land and multi-dommain measures. And the United States has implemented all of these in one form or another, including targeting Russia's export of energy to Europe, imposing sanctions on Russia, and then also measure one provide lethal aid to Ukraine. And they did this knowing with certainty that it was going to provoke a war with Russia. They knew that they did it on purpose, not to defeat Russia in Ukraine, but to raise the cost for Russia by provoking a war in Ukraine along with all of these other measures which include trying to topple neighboring Bellarus, creating tension in the South Caucus, uh creating problems in Central Asia, creating problems for Russia in Muldova. The US is doing all of these, every single one of these, some more successfully than others. So, let's talk about how the US seeks to extend Russia, not necessarily defeat them in Ukraine. It's just one part of a much wider strategy. The US seeks to overextend and then eventually topple Russia and and then thus defeat them. So, it's just one part of a much larger strategy. It's not a all or nothing battle to either beat Russia or be defeated by Russia. What the drone strikes also achieve is the creation of a psychological effect not on Russia's leadership or population but on the Ukrainian population and the wider western public especially the European public because they are going to be the next ones fed into this wood chipper of proxy war the US has created for Russia creating the illusion of success and the possibility of eventual victory when there is no actual chance for real victory.

[00:27:39]is essential to politically justify the immense amount of public resources being redirected from social programs and infrastructure into arms and ammunition production, vehicles, logistics, the training programs, as well as the astronomical amounts of money being spent just to prop the Ukrainian government economy and Ukrainian society up one month to the next. The illusion of success and imminent victory also convinces Ukrainians themselves to continue fighting on. A proxy war cannot continue if the proxies themselves succumb to defeatism driven by compounding battlefield realities.

[00:28:18]And that is even according to pro- Ukrainian live maps showing Russia relentlessly expanding its control of Ukrainian territory surrounding the most heavily fortified cities taking them no matter what Ukraine and its western backers try to do. Krosk Mirnoggrad were the the previous Constantinoka is likely going to be the next and then Kronatsk and Slaviance ultimately and then the entire Danbas region will be under Russian control. When that is the reality, how do you convince Ukrainians to continue fighting and dying for a war they really have no chance of winning? A war the policymakers that laid out this war, proposed this war and then set out to to provoke it. How do you convince them to keep dying for what is essentially a lost cause that is going to certainly benefit the US and its geopolit geopolitical ambitions, but admittedly are going to destroy Ukraine?

[00:29:19]How do you do that? Well, you you lie to people and you say, "Well, you're going to win. You just keep fighting. You're going to win." See, is maybe the tide is is the tide turning? You know, the question mark that that they should know is the answer is well, certainly not. It should be remembered that provoking and prolonging proxy war with Russia and Ukraine, not necessarily winning it, was and is a stated US geopolitical objective. In the 2019 Rand Corporation paper, Extending Russia competing from advantageous ground. I just showed you that on the screen. A wide variety of measures measures were proposed. All of them meant to be implemented in concert.

[00:29:55]Not any one of them implemented and succeeding and thus defeating Russia.

[00:30:01]All of them are meant to be implemented in concert and heap pressure on top of Russia to the point where eventually something somewhere breaks. That was the whole concept of the extending Russia policy paper to create pressure on Russia both within its borders and along them hoping eventually to precipitate a Soviet Union style collapse. Among these measures was providing lethal aid to Ukraine under benefits. Strand paper noted that, and this is a direct quote, expanding US assistance to Ukraine, including lethal military assistance, would likely increase the cost to Russia and both blood and treasure of holding the Donbas region. More Russian aid to the separatists, and an additional Russian troop presence would likely be required, leading to larger expenditures, equipment losses, and Russian casualties. The latter could become quite controversial at home, as it did when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. under risks. This is where the paper admits the war is almost certainly going to be lost and and Ukraine destroyed in the process. They admit it, but they still proposed this.

[00:31:05]And then obviously, as we can see in before our very eyes, they did this.

[00:31:10]They implemented it under risk. The paper admitted that triggering a war with Russia and Ukraine might lead to disproportionately large Ukrainian casualties, territorial losses, and refugee flows, and might even lead Ukraine into a disadvantageous peace. In other words, they're going to lose. The arming of Ukraine by the US would not only knowingly provoke a war with Russia, it would likely end in Ukraine's destruction and defeat.

[00:31:35]However, in the process, tremendous costs would be exacted from Russia.

[00:31:39]Pressure placed on it militarily, economically, and politically, and contribute to a broader campaign of encirclement, containment, and overextension toward what the US hopes eventually results in Russia's collapse.

[00:31:51]Other measures me mentioned in the paper involve Russia's energy production and exports.

[00:31:57]The paper lists measures such as hinder petroleum exports, reduce natural gas exports, and hinder pipeline ex expansions. Even before the paper was published, and of course, ever since, the US has actively implemented all of these measures. This includes placing a growing number of sanctions on Russia and coercing US proxies to follow suit, which includes all of Europe. The US has also outright attacked pipelines including the Northstream pipelines as well as others as part of attacks attributed to Ukraine. Those drone strikes and maritime drone strikes, those are targeting energy production and export infrastructure, including pipelines, that is the US doing that. At one point in the Rand Corporation paper, it proposes undermining Russian energy exports to Europe by ramping up US LG exports to Europe as an alternative. The paper however laments that reducing European peacetime consumption of Russian gas has a medium to low likelihood of success. Of course the solution the US employed was to take peace time and simply transform it into perpetual wartime. That is what they did. Uh they knew it would be difficult if not impossible to force Europe to just cut off cheap, reliable, plentiful Russian energy already being piped in from Russia directly into Europe. They knew that would be an impossible cell no matter what they said, no matter what sort of boogeyman they built Russia up into. So what they did is they provoked a war and then they used the war as a pretext to force Europe to cut off energy imports from Russia. And it worked and that is what has now since happened. And by the way, that's exactly what they're doing. They couldn't get Asia to cut off energy from uh the Middle East. So they just started a war that just cuts it cuts it off as a matter of the war itself and forced these countries under greater dependence on US energy exports to Asia. Same same playbook. They have one playbook and they just continuously reuse it against one targeted country after the other.

[00:34:00]But will let's just continue focusing on Russia and Ukraine here. The continued implementation of this long-standing US policy of belligerance towards Russia has spanned every US presidential administration throughout the 21st century, including both the previous and current Trump administrations.

[00:34:17]Look at this continuity of agenda, the encirclement of Russia from 1993 to 2024. So, I kind of went a little bit back into the 20th century as well. But if you look at it, under President Clinton, they overthrew this the the government of Serbia. They they bombed and divided up Yugoslavia under Bush.

[00:34:37]There was the attempted overthrow of Ukraine in Barus and the successful overthrow of Georgia in 2003. They militarily built Georgia up in the same way they did Ukraine following the 2014 coup in Kiev. And then they had Georgian forces attack Russian forces in 2008.

[00:34:55]that created uh the Georgia Russian war in 2008 and then the United States began withdrawing from its arms control treaties. The first the uh anti-bballistic missile treaty and then under Obama that was the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in 2014. So they tried it once under Bush, it failed. They tried it again under Obama.

[00:35:14]This is what I mean by continuity of agenda. It doesn't matter who you vote for. All of this just continues regardless. the installation of a hostile client regime in Kiev, violation of the Minsk agreements, the stationing of Aegis assured systems in Europe that would have violated the anti-bballistic missile treaty. So, President Bush withdrew from the treaty.

[00:35:34]Withdrawing from the treaty was then fully exploited by this the subsequent administration, the Obama administration. So, this is what they wanted to do. Put these missile systems in Europe. They couldn't with the treaty in place. They had it removed under one administration and then they placed the missile systems in under the next administration. And then of course under the first Trump administration that's when the US began publicly providing lethal aid to Ukraine as per the Rand Corporation 2019 paper. That was 2017 to 2021 recreating the 2003 2008 Georgian scenario. And they and they withdrew from further uh arms control treaties.

[00:36:11]this one limiting the use of intermediate range missiles. And then of course under the Biden administration uh that's when the actual proxy war was provoked, initiated and previously President Trump withdrew from the INF treaty and then missiles that would have violated the INF treaty were then being moved into Europe just like from Bush to Obama, from Trump to Biden. continuity of agenda. They pretend they all hate each other and that they're going to undo what their predecessor did, but then they just continue everything in a straight line.

[00:36:48]And of course, now we're under the the Trump administration who's who like like I just said during his campaign said he was going to end the war in 24 hours.

[00:36:58]Now he has steadily escalated it with these US directed enabled drone strikes all across Russia. The maritime strikes all around the world. Arming and backing of Ukraine continues. US still is directing the entire war. And as I pointed out at the beginning of the video, US Secretary of Defense Pete Hgsth prepared Europe to be fed into the proxy war next, which was actually something that began under the previous Biden administration and is simply continuing under the current Trump administration.

[00:37:33]So that's what I mean by continuity of agenda. And that's what I mean. Every single president during the 21st century helped advance US foreign policy up to this particular point. very deliberately. It was not an accident.

[00:37:48]It's not a coincidence.

[00:37:50]And the whole political theater that they perform while in office publicly and in the headlines of the of the mainstream western media is supposed to direct your attention away from this continuity of agenda because once you see it, you cannot unsee it. And then you realize that US elections as they exist now are an exercise in futility.

[00:38:09]It is just a distraction and a way to manage public perception.

[00:38:14]And if you actually really want to change things, you need to understand who are the interests handing them their policies that they continue regardless of what they say during campaign season.

[00:38:26]And of course, it's the largest, most powerful corporations in the United States. The arms industry, big oil, they're they're the direct uh they're the ones directly benefiting from all of these wars taking place right now. You have big tech, you have big pharma, big egg, the auto industry. every single big media, all of these huge corporate finance year monopolies the US hosts within its borders, they're the ones driving US foreign and domestic policy.

[00:38:54]They're the ones that fund policy think tanks like the Ranch Corporation that publish papers like extending Russia in 2019.

[00:39:03]Let me continue with this article. Also, this has spanned every US presidential administration throughout the 21st century. I just showed you that the purpose of the proxy war is to extend Russia by constantly increasing the cost of the war in Ukraine. The US itself deliberately provoked by providing lethal aid to Ukraine as per the the the paper while also permanently disrupting peace time and the flow of Russian energy to Europe. peace time had enabled that again very deliberate and that is exactly what they're doing with Iran and the Middle East right now visav Asia and its dependency on Middle Eastern energy and now their growing dependency on US energy exports a division of labor Europe working for not against Washington this is the biggest myth I see uh and it's not it's not that people are deliberately perpetuating a myth it's just that the the western media is deliberately framing it this way. And for some reason, people are just taking that at face value. They're not thinking about, well, the Western media is always lying.

[00:40:05]They're almost certainly lying about this. What is the truth? And why are they telling us this lie? That's what you need to do when you try to sift through daily headlines. It should be noted that the February 2025 US directive that I that I showed you, this one here, right here, and the link will be at the video description below. You you look at it and you read it and you will see. Delivered to Europe by US Secretary of Defense Pete Haggath demanding Europe double down on its support and involvement in America's proxy war against Russia and Ukraine continues to be implemented faithfully and enthusiastically by Washington's European proxies.

[00:40:41]Secretary Hath laid all of this out and told Europe, "You are going to double down on support of this war in Ukraine."

[00:40:49]And then they all did. But what they also did was accuse the US of abandoning them and portraying some sort of growing US European split. But the reason they had to do this was to sell this increased investment and a self-destructive proxy war against Russia and Ukraine to the European people. You cannot tell the European people the truth. Secretary HGET told us to double down and feed ourselves into America's proxy war against Russia.

[00:41:18]We're going to have to take all of our public programs, cancel them, feed all of the money in as we destroy ourselves, just as Ukraine has been destroyed. If they told the the European public that may maybe the European people would actually do something meaningful to take back control of of their respective countries and their entire region from a a US client regime. The European Union is a US client regime imposed on top of Europe and smothering out European sovereignty. So instead, they tell them a lie. The Americans abandon us and Russia is an existential threat to us and we have no choice but to invest in this war against Russia and Ukraine. And it might even come down to Europe fighting a war with Russia itself. And all of these costs are necessary. All the sacrifices the public are going to have to make, not not the people in Brussels, the the public are going to have to make. All of that is necessary because America abandoned us and we hate America and Trump is evil and this is how they tried to sell it to the European people and people on on all sides of the political spectrum fall for this political theater. That's all it is, theater. This includes a recent proposal by NATO Secretary General that member states commit two uh 25% of their GDP to Kiev as reported by Politico. I showed you that article earlier. In addition to the increase of NATO spending from 2% uh it was 2% of each member state's GDP to 5% already demanded by the US and now being implemented by one nation after the other. Some nations have already implemented it. As long as these US objectives continue to be advanced by the US proxy war in Ukraine against Russia, the war will continue. Whether the US says so openly or hides behind its disguise as neutral mediator for the war itself provoked while portraying Europe and even Ukraine itself as obstructions to a supposed US mediated peace. Again, that is more theater taking place. the US pretending they want to mediate some sort of peace deal between Russia and Ukraine when they themselves deliberately provoke this war and are running it and directing it from Germany and are the ones carrying out these drone strikes on Russia not actually Ukraine for Russia's part Moscow Moscow must certainly understand this yet goes along with the US narrative likely for one practical reason to allow the US an exit ramp if and when Russia resolves the war in Ukraine on the battlefield field. In other words, surely there are people in Moscow that understand this. They know there's no way to negotiate with the United States. The US is determined to do this. All of all of these peace deals and these talks and these negotiations are just a way of distracting people away from reality, selling the the US Europe division of labor regarding the war. Surely they understand this, but they want to leave the US an exit ramp.

[00:44:14]So they say, "Sure, the US is just a mediator and it's it's Europe and Ukraine. They're the problem. And if Russia defeats this what is a US war against them in Ukraine, they have created an exit ramp by going along with this myth that that the US isn't actually involved. So that when the US loses, they don't actually lose public face because everyone is convinced the US has disassociated themselves from the conflict altogether. Unfortunately, the US is not running short on proxies. Even if the war appears to be drawing to an end in terms of grinding Ukraine down through attrition, the US is willing, capable, and right now actually and actively preparing to feed the rest of Europe into the proxy war next. Meaning Russia will then have to repeat the entire process again, but against a much more dangerous combined European force, including member states armed with nuclear weapons. And when people hear this, they say there's no way Europe can win a war against Russia. That's not the point. Ukraine cannot win a war against Russia. The point is extending Russia.

[00:45:24]And if throwing Ukraine at Russia is creating costs for Russia, and it most certainly is, then throwing all of Europe at Russia is also going to increase those costs. In addition to everything else the US is doing all along Russia's periphery, and to all of Russia's allies, including Iran and China, Venezuela, which no longer exists as a Russian ally, uh Cuba soon to to be a non-existent Russian ally.

[00:45:50]In addition to all of those things to continue heaping on pressure to Russia to collapse it to extend Russia people have to understand this that see the big picture see beyond just what's going on in Ukraine. Thus until the very source of the conflict is addressed Washington's pursu and what is what is the very source of the conflict Washington's pursuit of global primacy and its use of war proxy war and a v a wide variety of other multi-dommain strategies to do so. Until that is addressed, the US will find ways of perpetuating its extending Russia policy, which in turn is one part of a much greater strategy aimed ultimately at containing the rise of China and asserting US hijgemony worldwide. And of course, this all goes into multipolarism. Russia and China together, trying to build a multipolar world, and US is waging war against it and trying to dismantle it. Russia is not simply fighting back against the US proxy war in Ukraine. Russia is faced with a US campaign of encircle encirclement targeting Russia all along its peripheries far beyond just Ukraine.

[00:46:53]Again, people have to understand it's not just the US in Ukraine fighting against Russia. They're also trying constantly trying to undermine Bellarus, a Russian ally right on Russia's border, uh Armenia, Azerbajan, all across Central Asia.

[00:47:10]this attempt to interdict or complicate the movement of Russian energy exports by sea, eliminating Venezuela as a sovereign nation, politically capturing it and controlling it. All of these things add up all around the globe to the war the US is waging on Russia, but also its allies, Iran and China.

[00:47:31]Russia Russian victory in Ukraine alone will not be enough to defend Russia from US encroachment and aggression. I would say it's a it's a good start. It would be a good sign if they did. It would be a good sign in the right direction. But it alone is not enough. Russia is thus contributing toward a global effort to displace US primacy and multipolar alternatives precisely to undermine the very source of Wall Street and Washington's menace to the entire world, not just Russia alone. Only time will tell the final outcome of not only the proxy war taking place within Ukraine, but the much wider global struggle between the multipolar world's attempts to build faster than US-led unipolarism can destroy.

[00:48:16]And there is a real reason why Russia is investing so heavily in multipolarism because it understands this is not just about Ukraine. It's not just the US threatening Russia through Ukraine. They are doing it all around the globe and to all of its allies around the globe.

[00:48:33]Again, Iran and China specifically uh and most immediately that that you can see in the headlines, but also many other countries we don't talk about dayto-day.

[00:48:45]They understand that. They understand that it is a global struggle, not just a struggle in Ukraine. And they have to do both. They have to address both. And they're playing a balancing act doing both. And they have to invest resources in many areas, not just Ukraine. And sometimes they have to make very difficult decisions about what they have to let go in the immediate future in order to ensure their success in the distant future, which includes Syria.

[00:49:14]They just simply weren't able to continue protecting Syria from US backed regime change and continue the fight against the proxy war in Ukraine. They couldn't and they had to cut their losses. Whether people want to admit that or not, none of these countries are all powerful. Not the United States itself, not Russia, not China, not Iran.

[00:49:36]There are limits to their power and they have to make difficult decisions as they're pursuing their respective foreign policy objectives. And then that brings us back to Europe is starting to think Putin will expand the war beyond Ukraine. No, this is full circle the US Europe division of labor. Let me just show you the the whole quote here. They talk about China rising and the US needing to address China and how the US is prioritizing that. And so Europe needs to take a larger role in the US proxy war against Russia and Ukraine.

[00:50:11]And they say together we can establish a division of labor that maximizes our comparative advantages in Europe and Pacific respectively. It is a global war on multipolarism and the US has tasked Europe to enter into the proxy war against Russia and Ukraine next as Ukraine is grinded down. That's what he was telling them. And get ready for war.

[00:50:31]2% is not enough. We say 5%. Double down. Get your troops ready to go into Ukraine itself. Right here, security guarantees must be backed by capable European and non-European troops. But he makes sure to say it won't be US troops among those non-European troops and there will be no article 5 because the whole point of this is for Europe to go die in its proxy war against Russia next, not for the US to fight it directly. That's what makes it a proxy war. It it doesn't work as a proxy war if you commit yourself to rushing to your proxy's aid and end up fighting the targeted country yourself.

[00:51:09]That defeats the whole purpose of it. So that's why they're specifically ruling out article 5. And I don't understand how people can't see what was said back then and how it connects directly directly to preparing Europe to be fed into a direct war with Russia next.

[00:51:25]Russia does not want direct war with Europe. Even even the first sentence in this article at face value, if you understand this, they themselves are telling you that what would Russia gain by starting a even larger war with the whole rest of Europe. It doesn't make any sense. What they're actually trying to do is create a pretext, a justification for Europe entering into the war with Russia next. That's what this is. This is this is a dangerous escalation that we're on the verge of watching unfold. There is a reason Russia has been much more aggressive recently. The use of the Arashnik missiles, for example, the warning Russia issued to diplomatic missions in Kiev. There's a reason they are very loud and warning very clearly and creating very obvious red lines because they understand the direction this is all going in. I just hope they understand that no matter how much they they try to warn and appeal to the the rational thinking in Europe, the leadership in Europe works for Washington at Europe's expense. They are always going to side with and implement what it is Washington tells them. So this war is going to come and Russia just needs to make sure that they're ready for it. And that goes for Iran.

[00:52:44]The war there's no peace there's no peace deal being actually sought by the US with Iran. They're doing what they always do with diplomacy. They use it as a means of creating a pretext for more war. Not avoid it, not end it, but to create more war. And the United States, of course, is doing all of this to further isolate China as US itself prepares and builds up its military for a confrontation with China. Again, the plan was issued publicly. The US is openly saying they're going to go confront China. Europe's going to take on Russia. And of course, they're waging their war on Iran right now to to degrade it to cut China off from energy from the Middle East to destabilize Asia itself, which does uh business with China is very important for the Chinese economy. If you create this economic crisis for Asia by cutting off their their energy from the Middle East, they're not going to be able to trade as much with China and then that will affect China's economy. So that it's all integrated. It's all combined. And there's synergies between all of these options the US has proposed and is implementing. And it does basically add up to a global war on multipolarism.

[00:53:57]That's what we're looking at. That is how Russia fits into it. I'm going to leave it there for now. If you thought this video was useful, please like and share. Think about subscribing.
