Why Do American Elites Want War in Ukraine?
"Biden cares about Ukraine's borders more than America's!"— is becoming more common a refrain in the middle ground of American politics, and even sometimes on the Left.
Newsweek:
Public support for committing troops to the most corrupt country in Europe from a still hypothetical and strategically stupid "invasion" is so low that the administration's case fell apart before it even began.
But who cares?
Ready the troops anyway.
America's ruling class can't even be bothered to falsify intelligence or drum up public anger this time.
Whether in lock-step or goose-step, the rest of the ruling class amplifies Biden's thirst for something, anything that provides respite from domestic catastrophe.
Naturally, given Biden's disastrous energy policies, the self-inflicted humiliation in Afghanistan and America's unwillingness to stand up to Russia's most critical current bedfellow — communist China — Putin has the upper hand.
To ordinary Americans, Ukraine is just another Iraq waiting to happen.
But the more important question at hand is cui bono?
Who would be the winners in a conflict with Russia over Ukrainian border integrity?
Besides Lockheed Martin, BAE Systems and the credibility-impoverished foreign policy establishment, that is?
Well, Putin himself, of course, who will be able to publicly campaign on his defense of Russian sovereignty and security in the face of NATO tanks adorned with rainbow flags. 🏳️🌈
