Russia vs US Playing on Ukraine's Field

Russia moving troops into Ukraine has caused an uproar in the "international community" and the media apparatus that "informs" it, the Mighty Wurlitzer of propaganda, as Frank Wisner called it. Anti-war propaganda in the media is something we have not seen before, because it is usually the US that does the invasions, and they are supported by the propaganda machinery.

The atrocities of war, usually carefully concealed by the media, (you know, out of "respect" for the dead), are now played up in full, so that the anger of the people can be used to send more weapons to the designated players, the Ukrainian military, so that they can kill the other designated players. It is clear that the US intends to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.

People opposed to Nazis taking over governments and killing dissidents and targeted ethnic groups argue over what Russia should do to protect itself and its people from the Nazis in Ukraine. Just remove them from the military and the government and then withdraw? Take over the whole country? Allow the Russian areas to return to Russia and just patrol the new borders to make sure the US and NATO don't rearm the rump Ukraine?

There is no action that Russia can take that will stop the USA from expansion. The US, which in 1800 consisted of 13 small colonies clinging to the eastern Atlantic coast, started 1900 as a continent-wide country busily swallowing up remnants of the Spanish Empire, (which it took on in 1898), and by 2000 was a global empire, with 800 bases in at least 80 countries (not counting the lily pad bases). This includes bases in 14 countries that used to be part of the USSR. The US is now on Russia's borders in many countries.

But Americans believe that Russia is being expansionist by trying to dismantle military bases and bioweapons labs on their border?

The US has overthrown countries and murdered people for control of banana plantations! Hence, the Banana Republics we are told should obey us. The queen of Hawaii was overthrown shortly before the Spanish-American War, so that Dole could have control of the pineapple plantations.

And we're supposed to think that Russia, whose riches were looted by the US during the 90s, making some oligarchs in the US and Russia fabulously wealthy, while millions of Russians died, (spun by our media as "their life expectancy dropped dramatically in a year"), is no longer a target?

America is told that Russia is a "gas station with an army" but that is another lie. Russia has a lot of resources, including farmland, oil, gas, minerals and forests. And a country that would kill for bananas and has killed millions for oil already can certainly be expected to kill for control of a "gas station" sitting on far most oil than most countries. It's a good thing for Russia that it does have an army or it would have already been invaded.

I think that this war for resources is being fought on two levels. The first is the actual war on Russia, with the intention of gaining access to its riches and then to the riches of Central Asia.

The second is the war on the consumption of the people of the USA and western Europe. What we call our "standard of living", the 3 meals a day, the heat in the winter and cooling in the summer, the jet-setting ability to travel....that all takes fossil fuels and our rulers want us to use less. Therefore the sanctions that we are told are aimed at Russia, and just happen to affect consumption in the west, are actually aimed exactly at reducing consumption.

The population of Earth went from one billion in 1800 to almost 8 billion today. This increase can almost all be attributed to the discovery and use of fossil fuels. The Earth probably hit Peak Oil in 2007. What we see today is the fight for the last bits, both by taking it from those who have it and by decreasing the use of people accustomed to the luxuries it has afforded them.
