Hegemon USA's Sanctions and Proxy War on Invented Enemy Russia Risks Direct East/West Confrontation

by Stephen Lendman

Russia, China and other nations free from US control are invented enemies, not real ones.

They're demonized to serve the interests of Wall Street, the military/industrial complex, related corporate interests, and what benefits other US ruling elites — at the expense of world peace, equity, justice, compliance with the rule of law and a nation safe and fit to live in.

Profiting hugely from perpetual wars, peace and stability undermine the aims of the empire of lies.

A state of undeclared US-dominated NATO sanctions and proxy war exists against Russia with the worst of diabolical aims in mind.

What's likely to continue for a generation or two or longer could cross the line to direct East/West confrontation by accident or design at any time.

Hegemon USA weaponized Ukraine to wage war on Russia with expendable foot soldiers it doesn't give a hoot about.

Hundreds are being killed or wounded daily, hundreds more laying down their arms and surrendering or deserting their ranks to live rather than die for Nazist rule they oppose.

Analyst Larry Johnson cited evidence of rebellion against their chain of command in 12 Ukrainian units — ones operating in Donbass.

Poorly led, supplied and cared for by a regime using them as cannon fodder against vastly superior Russian forces, they "believe their commanders are asking them to commit suicide," Johnson explained, adding:

They were deceived by puppet Zelensky and Ukrainian commanders "into fighting for a false cause."

More buffoon than leader, Zelensky is increasingly reviled by rank and file Ukrainian foot soldiers for being sent into harm's way to be chewed up and spit out by overwhelming Russian firepower.

Johnson believes that it's just a matter of time before growing rebellion in the ranks spreads to commanders.

Will Zelensky be toppled or step down voluntarily?

A US-installed puppet, he's serving the interests of the empire of lies and his own self-interest — at the expense of millions of ordinary Ukrainians, especially regime foot soldiers and family members having to cope with the agony of lost, disabled or otherwise bodily ravaged loved ones.

Since Russia's SMO began on Feb. 24, Ukrainian troops have been heavily battered by advancing Russian forces.

Sustaining unsustainable numbers of daily casualties, Russia's demilitarization and deNazification of Ukraine is proceeding as planned.

At the same time, the empire of lies is hell bent for perpetuating proxy war on Russia as long as possible.

On Wednesday, Sergey Lavrov stressed the following:

No nation or war-making alliance "should be allowed to establish their dominance on the world scene."

Yet hegemon USA-dominated NATO "prioritizes" this aim. 

War-making alliance leaders "openly declare the need for a unipolar world order, which they call rules-based order (sic)."

In flagrant breach of international law, their so-called rules serve their own interests exclusively at the expense of other nations, their people and world peace. 

What's going on in Ukraine risks setting central Europe ablaze well beyond its borders.

It risks unthinkable global war between the world's leading nuclear powers.

The latest shoe to drop involves supplying Ukrainian Nazis with Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MRLS) and High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS).

On Wednesday at the State Department, interventionist Blinken and US-installed NATO puppet Stoltenberg pretended that Ukrainian Nazis won't use these weapons to strike Russian cities and other targets when reality is the other way around.

Providing them — and other weapons — by the empire of lies and its NATO vassals to Ukrainian proxies is all about wanting Russia weakened by whatever it takes to further their hegemonic aims — even at the risk of global war.

On Wednesday, Russian National Defense Control Center head, Mikhail Mizintsev, said the following:

"According to verified information, obtained from intercepted radio communications, the Kiev regime plans another inhuman provocation in the (Ukrainian) city of Shostka, Sumy Region," adding:

"In the near future, a shipment of US-made long-range rocket systems is expected at Shostka, which Ukrainian forces plan, under orders from the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), to fire at the territory of the Russian Federation directly from the city's residential areas." 

"By doing so, Ukrainian neo-Nazis plan to provoke return fire from Russian Armed Forces in order to accuse them of indiscriminate fire at civilian infrastructure and elimination of civilian population."

Mizintsev also explained that — as likely ordered by dominant Biden regime hardliners — Kiev intends to prepare fake photo and video material for US/Western MSM to report on and circulate.

The scheme aims to falsely blame Russia for killing civilians in similar fashion to the made-in-the-USA/Kiev implemented Bucha and Kramatorsk false flag incidents.

Separately on Wednesday, Sergey Lavrov stressed the increasing risk of "direct provocation (by Ukrainian Nazis) aimed at involving the (US-dominated) West in military action" against Russia.

That's where things are heading if war-mongering Biden regime hardliners aren't checked before they cross a rubicon of no return against the Russian Federation and world peace.
