Clearer Assessment as US Proxy War Against Russia Intensifies

Editor's note: The US and NATO are using Ukraine as a proxy against Russia while Russia has only committed military assets that are older but still effective against the Ukraine military. The constant talk of a US war against Russia is mostly that, just exaggerated talk. A real war between the US and Russia is stark and delusional for the US to even contemplate. Continue reading to find out why. The first article presents all the exaggerated talk by the US about a direct confrontation with Russia. The second article discusses why that idea is delusional and dangerous. As it stands right now, the Russians have stated that all military shipments entering Ukraine from NATO countries and the US will be targeted. If anyone thinks this is not the case and Russia does not have this capability, then read the second article. All this makes us try to understand the level of incompetence occupied in armchairs at the Pentagon behind the gangster regime in Kiev.

America Escalates Its War Against Russia

by Eric Zuesse | April 15, 2022

The statements, views and opinions expressed in this column are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of this site. This site does not give financial, investment or medical advice.

Even without Ukraine being a NATO member-country, that land has already become America's initial battlefield against Ukraine's next-door-neighbor, Russia, thus effectively starting World War III against Russia; and, so, Ukraine is enormously boosting the profits of U.S.-and-allied 'defense' contractors, such as Lockheed Martin Corporation, the world's largest weapons-seller.

Though Ukraine is the land, and though Ukrainians are the U.S. regime's proxy-soldiers in this initial stage of World War III, it is mainly American armaments-firms that are enormously benefitting from the resultant global surge in weapons-purchases. It's Ukrainians' and Russians' blood, and U.S.-and-allied billionaires' profits, that are now being promoted in their U.S.-and-allied 'news'-media, as being the heroic war for 'democracy' and 'to defend freedom', though, during the many decades before, in Afghanistan, and in Iraq, and in Syria, and in Libya, and in Yemen, and in so many other lands which have been cursed by America’s violent presence, the U.S. regime’s promised 'championship of democracy and of the rules-based international order', turned into the reality of U.S.-and-allied 'rules', and of rampant violations of international laws, as being the delivered U.S.-and-allied 'order' there. Russia and China are being demonized, by the U.S. regime, as 'authoritarian states', and as violators of human rights, while America's billionaires, who control the U.S. regime and its 'news'-media and its armaments-manufacturers, reap the rewards of this — the most massive of all global con-games against the entire global public.

Here are some recent developments, in America's actual (though not yet formally announced) war against Russia:

On April 12th, Jeff Bezos's Washington Post bannered "Pentagon looks to vastly expand weapons for Ukraine", and reported that, "The Biden administration is poised to dramatically expand the scope of weapons it's providing Ukraine."

On April 13th, Russia's RT News headlined "US issues Russia sanctions warning", and reported that,

During an event at NATO's Atlantic Council adjunct, [U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet] Yellen plans to insist that Washington remains fully committed to pushing Russia "further towards economic, financial, and strategic isolation," according to an excerpt quoted by the media.

"And let's be clear, the unified coalition of sanctioning countries will not be indifferent to actions that undermine the sanctions we've put in place," Yellen will say.

In her opinion, the measures being imposed on Russia by the US and its allies are necessary because the future of the international order, "both for peaceful security and economic prosperity," is now at stake.

Also on the 13th, the New York Times bannered "The U.S. has expanded intelligence sharing with Ukraine", and reported that "The United States has increased the flow of intelligence to Ukraine about Russian forces in the Donbas and Crimea," so as to increase the likelihood that Ukrainian forces will retake Crimea, which the Soviet dictator Nikita Khrushchev, a Ukrainian, had arbitrarily transferred to Ukraine in 1954, and which had been a part of Russia ever since 1783. Because there was such intense opposition by the Crimean population to this transfer, the Ukrainian government was obliged to grant to Crimea a special status as being a self-administered region, not controlled by the Ukrainian government in Kiev. But, now, the U.S. regime demands instead that Crimea become an integral part of the Ukrainian regime, especially because Crimeans are passionately opposed to doing that, just as they had been back in 1954, when Khrushchev (a less barbaric dictator than today's U.S. regime is) transferred it to Ukraine.

AT LEAST ONE AMERICAN BRIEFING WEST POINT CADETS UNDERSTANDS RUSSIA 

13 April 2022 | by Larry Johnson | 10 Comments

I stumbled across a video of Dr. Philip Karber, a former U.S. Marine and founder of the Potomac Foundation, briefing West Point cadets in April 2018 on the war in the Donbas and Russian capabilities. It is remarkable and worth your time because it lays out in stark terms the delusion of the American military and the harsh reality of Russian military capabilities.

Andrei Raevsky (aka The Saker) provides a helpful summary of Karber's key points:

• Russia has the most advanced and dense, data-linked air defense on earth.

• In a war against Russia, U.S. army cannot expect much air assistance for at least the first several weeks. Even stealth aircraft will not be of much use because of the distance they must fly in order to reach targets in Ukraine and/or Russia.

• Russian EW (electronic warfare) is much more advanced and more 'combat-ized' than in the U.S.

• RF utilizes it in combat squads whereas U.S. barely has any and only at the divisional level Russian EW shuts down all communications in huge areas along the front, no cellphones, military radios etc. They break GPS links with drones, making them useless and can even fry the fuses on artillery shells midflight.

• U.S. army produces 10x the frequency emissions of a Ukrainian brigade, which would make it extremely visible to all sorts of Russian EW, drones, advanced weapons.

• Russia has far more artillery than U.S. and far greater variety of munition types.

Remember, these are the items Karber identifies as key. This is not Raevsky’s opinion. The video is unnerving in part because it is four years old yet predicts the kind of war Russia is now waging inside Ukraine.

Go to the 17:40 mark in the video and listen as Karber describes the Russian Operations Plan for Invading Ukraine. Even though this video is four years old it is still relevant. More so than ever. Here is the map of the proposed 2014 Russian invasion plan. Look familiar?

Important to note that Russia made some significant alterations to this plan. Their axis of attack from the north through Chernobyl was not on the 2014 plan.

Karber's two most salient conclusions from his briefing should scare the hell out of U.S. military commanders.

First, from the last year of WW II until now the US has always fought with air superiority and never faced a comparable air force. Russia changes that calculus. Not only does it have a robust combat air capability that rivals anything the United States or NATO can put in the air, the Russians have the largest interconnected air defense system in the world. Five systems that are all data linked according to Karber. And this was the status quo from four years ago. Russian has made additional significant technological gains on this front.

One of the most important developments is Russia's dramatic expanded use of drones/UAVs. Russian tanks have capability to operate a UAV from the tank to obtain intelligence and launch an aerial attack.

The second, and far more concerning Russian advantage is its formidable Electronic Warfare capabiltiy–i.e., they can listen, jam communications and hit targets emitting an electronic signature. The US Army, by contrast, does not have a competent, organized EW capability. Compounding the threat is the U.S. Army's over reliance on computer systems to gather and disseminate intelligence and other essential military communications. This means that U.S. command posts and units will be easier to target and destroy.

These harassing attacks on Russian territory being conducted by the Ukraine military with US-NATO support are probably designed to force Russia to begin direct attacks on decision-making centers in Kiev. If this happens this war will escalate drastically.

Ukraine's Attack On Territory Of Russia Intensify

Sort of indicates the material laid out in the second article above is being ignored by US war planners at the Pentagon and weapons and munitions manufactures as well as NATO. This demonstrates that NATO countries are emptying out their old military assets and opening up a new period of unprecedented profit taking off new weapon and munitions sales. With Russian capabilities these 300 tanks taken out of storage and allegedly on the way to Ukraine will be like shooting apples in a barrel. 

WAR IN UKRAINE ON DAY 50. NATO'S WAR WITH RUSSIA TURNS INTO OPEN WARFARE.

Astonishing isn't it? Well, maybe not. US policy planners running the US corporation with all of its subcontracted private corporations are more interested in protecting the sovereign borders of the gangster regime in Kiev running Ukraine than they are of protecting America's territorial integrity.
