“They need conflicts to retain their hegemony,” Putin said in a speech on international security on Tuesday in Moscow. “That’s why they have turned the Ukrainian people into cannon fodder. The situation in Ukraine shows that the United States is trying to drag the conflict out, and it acts in exactly the same way trying to fuel conflicts in Asia, Africa and Latin America.”
NOTE TO READERS: The Trends Journal, which is opposed to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine—but understands why they have and have long detailed it in our magazine over the decades—had forecast before the war began that little Ukraine would lose a military confrontation against the Russian bear.
Ignoring our forecast and spreading their propaganda, since the war began on 24 February, the mainstream media continues to sell Washington’s propaganda that Russia is somehow losing to the Ukrainians and its forces are in disarray.
The Trends Journal has long reported that a main reason Putin invaded Ukraine was because of NATO’s expansion to the East. He noted that the alliance is now looking to spread into the Pacific region.
He said the U.S. is forming new, bellicose “military-political alliances,” such as AUKUS.
TRENDPOST: As we have reported, having next to nothing to do with strategic defense and more to do with further enriching the military industrial complex and—much to the anger of France—the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. (AUKUS) announced an arms deal in September that will allow Canberra to acquire a fleet of nuclear-powered submarines.
China has been accused by the U.S. and its neighbors of taking a more aggressive posture in the South China Sea. Beijing was quick to denounce the deal and call it a glaring example of an “outdated cold war zero-sum mentality.”
Zhao Lijian, the Chinese foreign ministry spokesman, said at the time that the deal may damage “regional peace” and intensify an arms race. He said Australia and the U.S. will hurt their interests.
Ben Wallace, the U.K. defense secretary, said China is about to embark on one of “the biggest military spends in history…Our partners in those regions want to be able to stand their own ground.”
Putin also mentioned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan as and example of a recent U.S. provocation.
"The American adventure in Taiwan wasn't just a trip by an irresponsible politician. It was part of a deliberate and conscious U.S. strategy intended to destabilize the situation and create chaos in the region and the entire world, a blatant demonstration of disrespect for another country' sovereignty and its own international obligations."
TRENDPOST: Anything less that pure hatred for Putin borders on treason in the U.S. media. The country has been brainwashed since the start of the conflict that Putin is a modern-day Hitler. The only person standing in his way is Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the Churchill of our time.
Putin correctly said last week that Western leaders, who are fueled by their hatred for Russia, would be quite content to fight Moscow until “the last Ukrainian.” Putin said the U.S. cannot imagine a unipolar world and wants to “enforce its version of the global order.”
Putin is not afraid of the West and, at the beginning of the war, said countries “that get into their heads to meddle in ongoing events from the side and create unacceptable strategic threats for Russia, they must know that our response to counterpunches will be lightning-quick.”
Vicoria, F the EU, should go fight her war.
