This is only a message for those who draw information about Ukraine from the absurd stream of regular propaganda provided by American state media serving corporate interests.
The Russian economy is doing great. In terms of the production of military equipment and weapons it seems to precede Ukraine and its allies. due to the American policy towards Ukraine, our main opponents, Russia and China, have come closer together. It's harder for a stupider and ineffective policy in the past of diplomacy. Moscow and Beijing are now truly united in their determination to put an end to the "international rule-based order". It's a very comic name, and the Chinese and the Russians have long believed that according to this order, America sets the rules and gives orders (free from following its own rules erstwhile and where it suits it, say, in Iraq, Libya or Syria). Western military reserves are rapidly and very dangerously exhausted. At the same time, we give orders to Germany and all Western Europe not to buy inexpensive gas from Russia under any circumstances, but to buy American liquefied gas, which is 4-10 times more expensive. As a result, much of Western Europe's population is poorer and the energy-intensive German manufacture will shortly become uncompetitive. Yet Europe obeys American orders.
A large part of the planet believes that the United States, at the highest levels of power, has ordered the demolition of Nord Stream gas pipelines so that Europe does not argue the economical suicide to which America is pushing it. It was an act of industrial terrorism, directed more not against Russia, which can sale its gas to countries that refuse to obey the orders of the State Department, but against our ally to the Germans who desperately request Russian gas, but can no longer buy it.
But that's not all. Outside the United States and their European and Asian vassals, the claim that the Russian military operation in Ukraine was “totally unprovoked” (the return that corporate media serving America regularly treat readers and listeners) evokes laughter and emotional arms. India, Brazil, South Africa, most arabian countries and Central / South American countries consider it a blatant lie, realizing that the United States has been moving their infrastructure closer to Russia for decades. The culmination was supported by the 2014 U.S. coup, which overturned the democratically elected and pro-Russian president of Ukraine and installed in power a man who started a war against the Russian-speaking and Russian-speaking population of east Ukraine, which is the vast majority there. It was he who threatened to retreat the lease to the Kremlin of the naval base in the Black Sea town of Sevastopol, which belonged to Russia for centuries. This is simply a alternatively long list of provocations leading to a "totally unprovoked" war.
Apart from America, which is easy to mislead, and its serviceable allies, all of this is well known to the authorities and crucial political circles. All this harms the image of the United States, and states that are not vassals of Washington do not trust America and cooperate with it.
Last but not least. American sanctions have become a catalyst that has accelerated the global process of abandoning the dollar as a reserve currency for global financial transactions. Countries specified as China, India and Brazil are already making large payments in local currencies. If this turns into a general trend, billions of dollars will return to America, the national government will completely lose its ability to borrow and massive inflation will begin. These are just any of the consequences of this development.
The armed conflict in Ukraine, sustainedly fueled by the American military-industrial complex and dominated by neoconservatives of the State Department, will not do the Americans any good. This conflict must be stopped as rapidly as possible for the sake of the people of our country and for the sake of the Ukrainians themselves, even if it is unprofitable for a tiny fistful of Americans who are profiting from war and destruction. Washington can do it. He lacks only will and desire.
