U.S. Escalates Ukraine Conflict

| Hello everybody and thank you for tuning in to the weekly report. | |
| Is Washington fighting Russia down to the last Ukrainian? | |
| As the Russian invasion of Ukraine moves past its third week, there are slight hopes that negotiations between the two sides may soon produce a ceasefire. | |
| But with the shrill war-mongering talk in Washington, it almost seems like the U.S. government would hate to see that happen. | |
| Congress and the U.S. administration seem determined to drag the United States into a war with Russia over Ukraine. | |
| Senator Lindsey Graham is openly calling for someone to kill Russian president, and many in the U.S. House have demanded that the administration establish a no-fly zone over Ukraine. | |
| Are they insane? | |
| A no-fly zone means you destroy anything and everything that can prevent total U.S. dominance. | |
| That means an attack on Russian missile air defense systems within Russia. | |
| In other words, World War III. | |
| We can all feel disgust at the destruction in Ukraine, but is it really necessary for us to gamble with our own nuclear annihilation? | |
| Sadly, a high bipartisan group in Congress seems to think so. | |
| Much of what is happening in Ukraine can be traced back to the Obama administration. | |
| State Department officials like Victoria Newland and Anthony Blinken planned and executed the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in 2014. | |
| This is what set us on this path to conflict, as the government put in place after the coup began demanding NATO membership. | |
| Blinken, Newland, and others responsible for the heinous act returned to government in more senior positions under President Biden, and they have continued to push their Ukraine agenda. | |
| Last week, Secretary of State Blinken, our top diplomat, sought to send Soviet-era Polish just fighters into Ukraine to shoot Russia. | |
| When the Poles said they'd be happy to ship the planes to a U.S. base in Germany and let the Pentagon transfer them to Ukraine, the Pentagon finally stepped in to quash an extraordinary high-risk move to even the Pentagon said would have no real effect on the outcome of the war. | |
| The State Department is trying to get us into a war and the Pentagon is trying to keep us out. | |
| How ironic. | |
| But when I was on the campaign trail, I would say that we have a few thousand diplomats in government. | |
| It might not be a bad idea to use them. | |
| But I certainly did not mean that we should use them to try and get it further involved in the war. | |
| Three weeks into this terrible war, the U.S. not pursuing talks with Russia. | |
| As anti-war.com recently reported, instead of supporting negotiations between Ukraine and Russia that could lead us to a ceasefire and end the bloodshed, the U.S. government is actually escalating the situation which can only increase the bloodshed. | |
| The constant flow of U.S. and Allied weapons into Ukraine and talk of supporting the extended insurgency does not seem designed to give Ukraine a victory on the battlefield, but rather to hand Russia what Secretary of State Blinken called a strategic defeat. | |
| It sounds an awful lot like the Biden administration intends to fight Russia down to the last uranium. | |
| The only solution for the U.S. is to get out. | |
| Let the Russians and Ukrainians reach an agreement. | |
| That means no NATO for Ukraine and no U.S. missiles on Russia's borders. | |
| End the war and then end NATO. | |
