The US is solely responsible for what is happening in Ukraine today. To fully understand this, let’s look at what the Americans have been up to.

While the US readily criticises nations like Russia and China as being authoritarian, it is establishing an authoritarian World Order. The US-led World Order is a hierarchical system with the US as the top authority, its Western allies as trusted subordinates and the others as obedient dogs.

Other nations cannot question, let alone challenge, US authority. Those which do will face trouble. That’s what’s happening to Putin’s Russia. After the collapse of the Russian-led Soviet Union, the US had a honeymoon period with Russia under Yeltsin. The Slav state of Yugoslavia was wiped off the map of the world without a whimper from Yeltsin-led Slavic Russia. Then Iraq was invaded like a cakewalk without any protest from Russia, which was then the only country which could stand up to the US-led West.

After Putin took over the rein from Yeltsin, the honeymoon period between the US and Russia ended. Unlike Yeltsin, Putin dares to question the US-led West. He questioned NATO over its conduct in Libya.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iw5Ij_RFJ1Q

When the US-led West tried to do to Syria what it has done to Libya, Putin led Russia to confront the US militarily. The Americans could not have their way in Syria as they had in Libya. They were mad at Putin. They have him marked for disposal and destruction. As usual, the political American Press went into action first. US media had a field day with Putin. They ridiculed him as a sissy. He had to prove them wrong by engaging in tough and risky outdoor activities, riding a horse without his shirt, diving into depths, taking to adventures in the sky. Even his kind act to putting a blanket on the shoulder of the First Lady of China was grossly misinterpreted. These are nothing compared to what the Americans had prepared for him in international politics and military strategy.

European nations bordering Russia, such as Ukraine and Belarus, become the pawns used to hit back at Putin’s Russia. In Ukraine, first a political coup to take down the Pro-Russian regime and replace it with a US-backed puppet regime. Next, instigate ethnic conflict between Ukrainians and ethnic Russians.

Ukrainians and Russians share a special relationship. Belarus, Ukraine and Russia are nations of ethnic Slavs that grew out of Kievan Rus, a feudal state which stretched from the north of the Black Sea to present day Ukraine. Its capital was Kiev which is also the capital of present day Ukraine.

Yet the Americans are able to cause bad blood to spill between Ukraine and Russia. Having accomplished their devilish act in Ukraine, the Americans next turn their attention on Belarus. Same dirty tactics. Instigate people to take to the streets to demand closer ties with US and Europe. But they found the Belarus leader, Alexander Lukashenko, to be a tough nut to crack. He took to the streets to reason with protesters which outnumber him many times. He won the verbal battle on the streets. Since then, he’s been left to rule unchallenged. He knew who has been behind this – those damned Americans.

Meanwhile Ukraine turned from bad to worse. More Westerners infiltrated into Ukraine. In politics, they go in disguised as NGO’s. In military, they go in as contracted fighters and mercenaries, selling arms and providing military trainings to the Ukrainians. Open fights broke out between Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. Russia stepped in to take over Crimea and helped ethnic Russians in the Donbass. Ukraine becomes a proxy in a war between the US-led West and Russia.

The US-led puppet regime in Ukraine, with increasing military support from the Americans and their European allies, become more aggressive, and plan to reclaim Crimea and Donbass. The Russians see through the scheme and take the initiative to militarily defend the two areas.

Several factors have been favorable to the Russians.
Democracy has produced an old and senile President in the US and a big dumb gorilla as Sec. of Defence.
Ukraine has a comedian as President.
A Russian has been appointed President of the UN Security Council.
Only months ago, US has met with humiliating defeat in Afghanistan.
Most important of all, the US is treating China as its enemy.

There is no better time to mount a military offensive against Ukraine.

History in the past three decades has shaped the current conflict in Europe.. The collapse of the USSR were followed by political upheavals in Central and Eastern Europe. East and West Germany became reunited. Previous Russian satellite states became independent republics. These republics are eternally grateful to the US and Western Europe for having played critical roles in bringing about their independence. They have this fear of being re-absorbed by Russia to become its satellite states again. To prevent this from happening, they choose to place themselves under the protection of NATO. Among these states, Ukraine is one of several which share a border with Russia.

Russia, on the other hand, has two fears.
1. The revival of an expansionist Germany (Fourth Reich?) and
2. NATO expanding right to its border.

Now that Ukraine and Russia are at war, the Americans and Europeans are nowhere to be found. The Ukrainians are left to fight and die alone.

What happen in Ukraine before the latest open conflict has happened in other places. The Americans are instigating ethnic wars on its enemies. In China, they plan to do it in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Xinjiang and Tibet. They almost succeeded in HK. They ran covert operations to instigate the Chinese in HK to agitate for independence from China. Chinese in HK were beating up Chinese from China. Had China not taken firm actions in HK, Chinese would be fighting Chinese on a big scale, as is happening between the Slavs in Ukraine and Russia.

The Americans are most unhappy that HK has not turned out as they had planned. They have now shifted their attention to Taiwan. Same dirty tactics. Arming up Taiwan. Agitate the Chinese there to become independent from China. If the Chinese on the island of Taiwan were to be dumb enough to be used by the Americans, they will end up like the Ukrainians, fighting and dying to serve Americans’ own national interest.

What happen between Russia and Ukrainian is not about one nation taking over part of another nation based on ethnicity. Rather, it’s the US using ethnicity to create wars for those nations it considers to be its enemies.

Now that Ukraine is in open conflict with Russia, what’s the US next move? The Americans are still licking their wounds from Afghanistan. Their tails are still between their legs. No, they are not ready for another fight, especially if its against the Russians. Few Americans would want to die for Ukraine. They expect the Europeans to do it. The Europeans would not do it alone without the Americans. Both sides know that when the fight comes to the crunch, Russia has a bigger nuclear arsenal that the US. The solution will be this. Both sides will provide plenty of arms and advices to the Ukrainians who will be the ones doing the fighting and the dying. That’s how a country will end up if it is dumb enough to allow itself to be used by the Americans.

Its time the US stop preaching about a rule-base World Order and pushing its ideology based on its own concept of democracy, freedom and human rights. To the Americans, a World Order is one in which only they give orders which the rest of the world should follow blindly. Those damned Americans are pushing their ideology more zealously than the Communists pushed Communism during the Cold War.
The Americans should stop pursuing their foreign policies with their military might. This might-makes-right strategy is destabilising the whole world.

China’s support for Russia has also stopped short of direct approval for military action. Over the weekend, Wang, the Chinese foreign minister, reiterated that all countries’ sovereignty must be respected, adding that “Ukraine is not an exception.”

Yes Tom, that's right. The Chinese government says that nations should leave other nations alone. They demand the freedom to persecute their own people without interference, where "their own people" means whatever they say it does. Taiwan disagrees with these bullies.

Chinese Foreign Minister: "all countries’ sovereignty must be respected".
This is a neutral statement. The leader of any country would have said that..

Chinese President has called for high-level negotiation between Russia and Ukraine. This is another neutral approach to the situation.

The Chinese leadership has a profound understanding of the issue between Russia and Ukraine. It knows the dirty role the US-led West has played to bring about the current situation.

The US-led West continues to play the same dirty trick on China. Hong Kong is now a lost cause. Taiwan has become the focus. What is happening to Ukraine is a good lesson for Taiwan. If Taiwan swallow the bait of those fake and vague American-owned concept of democracy, freedom and human rights and allow itself to be trained into an attack dog of the US against China, it will end up worse than Ukraine.

The Americans never dare to take on the Russians. This was true when Russia-led Warsaw Pact troops attacked Czechoslovakia. It is true again today when Russia attacked Ukraine. Why? Its the Russian military might, especially its nuclear arsenal. This is a lesson for the Chinese. If it can reach parity with the US in military capability, especially nuclear-wise, all its problems with the US would evaporate into thin air. Taiwan would return to the embrace of its Motherland.

Chinese media exposes dirty Western propaganda.

In Western media, a video has recently gone viral. It is purportedly about a Ukrainian father bidding a tearful farewell to his daughter while he decided to stay back to fight the Russian invaders.

The true turns out to be entirely different. The actual event takes place in the Donbass region. The video was originally released by a Mayor of a town in the region. The man was an ethnic Russian bidding a tearful farewell to his daughter so that he could remain behind to fight the Ukrainians!

Yeah, "embrace of the motherland" is code for death grip. You've never been to Taiwan, obviously.

Taiwan must return to China, without any interference from US and the
world,too. US should not engage in double standards. Why they don't
fight Russia for invasion into Ukraine which does not belong to Russia
at all.

But US wants to fight for Taiwan, if China invades to take back Taiwan,
which is the property of China. Taiwanese know who is their homeland is.
Their homeland is China and not US. US is not their motherland, but
China is. They want their homeland to take charge of Taiwan.

They know their corrupted politicians are going to sell out Taiwan as
vassal state of the US. They know and seen how the people and leaders in
those vassal states like Japan and South Korea are "backside sniffers"
of US backsides.

Therefore they don't want to see Taiwanese who are Chinese people to be
the vassal state of the US what like what the "sissy" leader of South
Korea and Japan will remain doing kowtowing the US on the same thing
years and years, forever like what they what they have been seeing year
after year, even of ever changing of leader of different party as seen
before till now.

Make no mistake, if today China is to invade and take back Taiwan, all
the Taiwanese will stand up and clap hands to welcome them. They will
line the streets to welcome Chinese troops.They will stand up to help
China in identifying those people with anti-China feelings and help
Chine to identify those anti-china gangsters in society and help China
to arrest those "resistance forces" or 'independence force" run by the
US and spies in Taiwan.

The war doesn’t seem to be going well for Russia, at the moment.

The Russians expectations have not materialised. Taking lessons from the swift victory of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the Russians have expected :
1. Ukrainian government forces to be lacking in the will to fight and
2. the general population will be nonchalant to the fight.

But both are not happening. Government forces are putting up stiff resistance and the people are responding enthusiastically to the call for mass mobilisation.

As the fight drags on, it will quickly become problematic for the Russians because US and European military aids are reaching Ukraine in swift flows.

The way out for the Russian now is to attack Kiev and bring down the government there in one swift and strong blow. This will break the spirit of the resistance.

Otherwise, Russia risk being bogged down into a long drawn war, i.e., Ukraine will become Russia’s Vietnam.
That’s the ending the US-led West would love to see.

No one likes war. It brings about deaths and destruction. We sympathise with all the people caught in the fighting right now between Russia and Ukraine. How does this come about?

After the fall of the Soviet Union, the US became the only superpower. Together with its European allies, collectively referred to as the West, it has a stranglehold on the whole world. Not satisfied with this, it wants to create a world according to its own ideals.

Under the Biden Administration, Western hocus-pocus of an ideal world has been crystalised into the rhetoric of Rules-based World Order and Universal Values. It is being hoisted on the world. Those nations which do not subscribe to it face the threat of a regime change plotted by the West. Few nations can stand up to the threat. Most can only comply.

Every era has its priority. The priority of the 21st Century is to free the world of the West stranglehold on it.

Russia under Putin is willing to stand up to the West. Unfortunately for Ukraine, it has become the battleground. But what Russia does benefits the whole world. The world will be different from now on. It will be a better place for all.

It will be a multi-polar world, a world of diverse political ideologies, not just Western-style democracy. It will be a world enlivened with a diversity of values, not just those “universal values” of the West.

Nations which want a truly free world, a world of diversities, should support Russia.

To better understand the current conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Recall how the West rode roughshod over the world when there wasn't any other power to counterbalance its might

The nation of Yugoslavia had internal ethnic problems. The West marched in with their forces under the banner of UN. Civilians blocked UN vehicles, begging UN personnel not to advance further into their country. Their pleas were ignored. Yugoslavia was dismembered until it became extinct.

An attack by the Muslims on the US heartland on 9/11. The West took revenge on the Muslim world. Afghanistan was openly invaded. Iraq was invaded like a cakewalk. The Gaddafi regime of Libya was toppled. Syria almost followed Libya. A bit more details.

US-led forces openly invaded Afghanistan, without seeking UN approval.

Iraq was accused of being in possession of Weapons of Mass Destruction. US Sec. of State went to UN to produce a “smoking gun” to the world. The UN Assembly was not convinced. Despite getting no approval from the UN and mass protests worldwide against an invasion, the US invaded Iraq and boasted that the invasion was as easy as a cakewalk. After the invasion was completed, no WMD was ever found in Iraq. No apology from the US. No American official was ever charged for any crime.

In Libya, the government put down violent protest with violence. The Gaddafi regime was accused of crime against humanity. Western nations supplied arms to rebel forces. A no-fly zone was declared over Libya. Libyan air-defence systems were bombed by NATO planes. The same planes would provide air support to the rebels in any big battle between Government and rebel forces. Gaffadi himself was a target of aerial bombardment. In the end, Gaffadi was captured and killed by rebel forces and his regime toppled.

Similar attempt was made against Syria. With assistance from the West, Oppositions turned armed rebels. The government was accused of using chemical weapons against its own people. This could have triggered The West to start a full-scale military operation to bring down the regime. But Putin's Russia was there to stop it from happening. If not for this, Syria could have become another Libya.

The West made many attempts to topple the socialists regime in Venezuela. It was another victim of economic sanctions by the West. But the Maduro regime still stands, to this day.

N Korea was threatened with invasion several times, each time surrounded by several US naval fleets.

During the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997/98, IMF officials swaggered into Asian countries and ordered their governments not to bail out their failing banks. Those banks had to become bankrupt, without regard to their effects on the general population. In Indonesia, this caused bloody riots which brought down the Suharto regime.
But when it came to the US Financial Crisis of 2008/9, IMF was nowhere around to issue orders. US banks and financial institutions became “too big to fail”. They were allowed to be bailed out by their government.

Even the tiny nation of Singapore was not spared. When it wanted to whack the arse of an American teenager who had broken the country’s law, the tiny nation was threatened with economic sanctions, a regime change was in the plan. Finally, a US naval fleet was sent steaming toward the island nation until it had to capitulate. The teen’s arse was spared from the worst punishment.

In recent years, China bears the brunt of the attack by the West simply because it is advancing rapidly by its own means without subscribing to Western values.

All these happened while no nation could or was willing to stand up to the West. Now we know how authoritarian and dictatorial the West is when there is other power to counterbalance it's might. The world desperately needs a force to counterbalance the might of the West. The West has to be shown that it is not the Master of the World. That’s what Putin’s Russia is doing. It did this first in Syria and right now in Ukraine. It should be appreciated for its courage.

Ukraine has it coming for itself.

In Ukraine, under Western support, one group staged a coup to topple the Pro-Russian regime. From then on, successive regimes antagonised Russia without limit. These regimes wanted to cut-off historical ethnic links between Ukrainians and Russians. They carried out ethnic cleansing and genocide of Russians within Ukraine. Yugoslavia was accused of the same crime of ethnic cleansing and genocide of its minorities. This was the excuse Western powers used to dismember it. When the Ukrainians did it to their minority Russians, there was hardly a whimper from the West.

Another lesson from this conflict.

The West has a stranglehold on information.

The West has stronger soft power, the media. This is setting the narratives, and controlling the information disseminated to the world. Beyond Russia, the world “knows” about the war through Western media.

Russian English language-based media like RT and Sputnik have been banned in EU.

In his latest online international press conference, Russian Foreign Minister referred to the website of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation which has info about what the Ukrainians did to the Russians in Donbass. But that website has been blocked.

Western narratives prevail. And it is this: Russia is the aggressor against Ukrainian, Russian soldiers are committing atrocities against Ukrainian civilians indiscriminately.
The Russians have to do something about this.

The Russians seem to be losing momentum in the conflict. This may prove to be fatal. Even though the US and EU are not willing to put boots on the ground, they are those from various parts of the world who volunteer to fight for the Ukrainians. US and EU can recruit volunteers and build up an International Volunteers Army or IVA and supply it with the latest weapons. NATO soldiers can join in the conflict as IVA.

Russia has to do a quick job in Ukrainian.

“The territorial integrity of a sovereign state” flies freely in UN debates on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, especially among smaller states.

If “The territorial integrity of a sovereign state” can be taken as sacrosanct, no nation would need to defend iself against external aggressors. There would be no need for a defence force or a Ministry or Dept of Defence for a state.

The truth is that your territory is not yours if you cannot defend it. The evidence to this is for all to see. The Westerners should know this better than anyone else because of what they have done to ex-Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya and Syria. The US continues to violate the Chinese territories of Taiwan and the South China Sea.

What is happening between Russia and Ukraine is not simply about sovereign state and territorial integrity. It’s more than that. Russia is openly challenging the World Order defined and defended by the West. The West have continuously trained a pack of attacking dogs to defend its World Order. Ukraine is one of them. It thinks it can misbehave towards its neighbor because it has a strong master. It is paying dearly for this.

Look at the performance of the Westerners recently. From Afghanistan, they fled in panic with their tails between their legs. Now, in Ukraine, they hide themselves, keeping a safe distance from the fight like some frightened rats.

No-fly zone? They did it in ex-Yugoslavia, Iraq and Libya. Don’t expect them to establish one over Ukraine. That would entails bombing Russian air defence systems on the ground and taking out Russian fighter jets in the air. They don’t have the guts to do that. They can only bully those weaker than them.

Those other attacking dogs trained by the West should watch their behaviors lest they end up like Ukraine.

After the collapse of the Russian-led Soviet Union, the US had a honeymoon period with Russia under Yeltsin.

East and West Germany became reunited. Previous Russian satellite states became independent republics. These republics are eternally grateful to the US and Western Europe for having played critical roles in bringing about their independence. They have this fear of being re-absorbed by Russia to become its satellite states again. To prevent this from happening, they choose to place themselves under the protection of NATO. Among these states, Ukraine is one of several which share a border with Russia.

No, they are not ready for another fight, especially if its against the Russians. Few Americans would want to die for Ukraine. They expect the Europeans to do it. The Europeans would not do it alone without the Americans. Both sides know that when the fight comes to the crunch, Russia has a bigger nuclear arsenal that the US. The solution will be this. Both sides will provide plenty of arms and advices to the Ukrainians who will be the ones doing the fighting and the dying. That’s how a country will end up if it is dumb enough to allow itself to be used by the Americans.

No, they are not ready for another fight, especially if its against the Russians. Few Americans would want to die for Ukraine. They expect the Europeans to do it. The Europeans would not do it alone without the Americans. Both sides know that when the fight comes to the crunch, Russia has a bigger nuclear arsenal that the US. The solution will be this. Both sides will provide plenty of arms and advices to the Ukrainians who will be the ones doing the fighting and the dying. That’s how a country will end up if it is dumb enough to allow itself to be used by the Americans.

> This stupid loudmouth believes that China will benefit most from the Russia-Ukraine fight. He believes this fight is all a Chinese plot to weaken the US and strengthen China.

> The truth is that India benefits more from the fight than China. Now that the US and Russia are enemies because of the Ukrainian conflict, India has become more important to both.
> Russia needs India more now than before to reduce its isolation from the world.
> US needs India more now, to play a stronger role to counter China while it is occupied with the Russians in Ukraine.
> India now finds itself in a very privileged position. It is being actively courted by both Russia and US. India will make the best of this opportune time in its history. It will make demands from both Russia and US.
> From both, it will demand for more advanced weapons. In addition, from the US, it would demand to have more authority over the waters from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. It wants to become the Lord of the Indo-Pacific, even if its only temporarily, while the US is kept busy with the Ukrainian conflict.

> Like China, India has not taken side in the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Though an ally of the West, it has not come out openly to support Ukraine. But unlike China, it is being left alone, not pressured by the West to take a stand or an unambiguous position. Because of this, Indians remain welcomed in Ukraine. Indian reporters are on the ground in Ukraine reporting live on the war, unmolested.

The root cause of the problem is the US-led West, specifically its military arm NATO. Ukraine alone swearing not to join NATO will not solve the problem. It has to be all the member nations of NATO. All of them have to swear not to expand NATO beyond a limit agreed between them and Russia. QED.
