Every United States Enemy Is Hitler: Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article:
It is just incredible how even after all this time, after all those wars, after all those lies, it is not even occurring to most mainstream westerners to investigate whether the United States could possibly have had anything to do with starting the war in Ukraine.
There is one asshole in the room who always starts shit. Any time any shit has started he is always been involved. And hardly anyone has even looking at him thinking, "I wonder if that shit-starting guy has anything to do with this?"
I am convinced that mainstream cultures fascination with World War II has made us all dumber. Everyone just lives in this dopey childrens cartoon now where every United States enemy is Hitler and they are the brave hero who is fighting Hitler.
Ukraine has no chance of winning this war alone, no matter how many weapons are sent to it. All weapons can do is make the war more costly for Russia, which it is in the United States empires interests to do. Stop pretending your calls for more weapons are anything more noble than that.
You are not trying to save lives; only the negotiation of a ceasefire can do that. All you are doing with your calls to arm Ukraine is helping the most powerful empire that has ever existed make this war more expensive for Moscow and hurt President Putins popularity at home and abroad.
This was the USAs strategy in arming the mujahideen in Afghanistan during the first cold war; to give the Soviets their own Vietnam. A costly quagmire that consumed their wealth and military focus for years, contributing to their downfall. They have already re-employed this strategy in Syria, where a United States official openly admitted they worked to create a "quagmire" for Moscow:
Here is the May 2020 comment of the now former United States envoy James Jeffrey that I referenced, in which he described his job in Syria as follows: "My job is to make it a quagmire for the Russians."-Aaron Maté (aaronjmate) November 14, 2020
Now they are hoping to pull off the same trick again, to any extent possible. That is all this is. It is not about saving lives or stopping a war, it is about grand chessboard maneuverings to maintain United States planetary domination.
Ukraine will be Putins Afghanistan.-Michael McFaul (McFaul) February 28, 2022
This will not save lives. In fact if it is successful it will ensure the loss of a great many more as an unwinnable war drags on long after it could have been over. This does not benefit Ukrainians. It does not benefit Americans. It does not benefit Europeans. It only benefits the unipolarist agendas of a few powerful psychopaths.
"Remember, the Russians invaded Afghanistan back in 1980," Hillary Clinton says. "It did not end well for the Russians..but the fact is, that a very motivated, and then funded, and armed insurgency basically drove the Russians out of Afghanistan."-MSNBC (MSNBC) March 1, 2022
If you still want to support arming Ukraine on the basis that it will benefit the unipolar hegemony of a globe-spanning empire because you believe that empires continued dominance is a good thing, be my guest. But again, do not pretend what you are cheering for is anything nobler than that.
After 9-11-01 we were intensively bombarded with messaging about a sinister foreign leader, creating an environment of shrill hysteria that was very hard to stand up against. This was used to whip up support for pre-existing objectives of United States geostrategic dominance.
Sound familiar??
Would people have consented to two back-to-back full-scale ground invasions without 9-11-01 and the aggressive narrative management campaign which followed??
Would people have consented to economic warfare that could hurt us all and nuclear brinkmanship that could get us all killed without the Ukraine invasion and the aggressive narrative management campaign accompanying it?
It is times like these where it is most important to be intensely, aggressively skeptical of the agendas of our rulers, and unfortunately it is also times like these where you will get yelled at the most forcefully for doing so. But we know better than to be shouted into silence now.
More concerning than backing Nazi militias in Ukraine is the far more widespread, far more deadly, and equally white supremacist belief we are seeing throughout the western world that invading a nation of white people is horrific while invading a nation of brown people is normal.
There are those who think maintaining a hostile client state on Russias border is worth any amount of brinkmanship to accomplish, and then there are those who understand what nuclear war is.
If these insane escalations between the United States and Russia do not scare the shit out of you it is either because you do not understand them or because you are psychologically compartmentalizing away from what you do understand. It is one or the other.
We are far, far too close to the brink of an unthinkable series of events from which there is no return. And none of the loudest voices are calling for it to be scaled back. They are calling for it to escalate further. Sometimes a lot further.
People said nobody was pushing for war with Russia, yet this faults Biden for not holding out the possibility of United States close air support:-John Allen Gay (JohnAllenGay) February 28, 2022
Many influential pundits and politicians are now calling for a NATO no-fly zone in Ukraine, which would require directly attacking the Russian air force and Russian air defenses.
Scoop: Ukraines President Volodymyr Zelensky is urging President Biden and NATO to impose a "no-fly zone" over "significant parts" of the country, telling Axios in a statement that Ukraine "can beat the aggressor" if the Western allies "do their part."-Jonathan Swan (jonathanvswan) February 28, 2022
We are speeding toward a cliff and nobody in charge has a foot anywhere near the brake pedal. If anything, the political-media class is demanding the gas pedal be pushed to the floor.
Strangest thing - entire world watching a massive Russian armor formation plow towards Kyiv, we cheer on Ukraine, but we are holding ourselves back. NATO Air Force could end this in 48 hrs. Understand handwringing about what Putin would do, but we can see what is coming-Clint Watts (selectedwisdom) February 28, 2022
Is what the United States and its allies are trying to accomplish in Ukraine worth continually risking nuclear armageddon for??
This is the single most important question in the world right now, and hardly anyone seems to be asking it.
If people want to oppose a no-fly zone, fine. But understand that is an act of appeasement no different to our appeasement of Hitler in 1938. We are refusing to do what we know is morally right out of fear. We are prepared to let a free nation die to safeguard ourselves.-Dan Hodges (DPJHodges) March 1, 2022
Our rulers are rolling the dice on the life of every terrestrial organism, and people are still babbling about whether Democrats or Republicans are harder on Russia and trying to score political points. Hardly anyone has their head up and their eyes fixed on what may be coming.
Perhaps the biggest risk-calculation-moral dilemma of the war so far. A massive Russian convoy is abt 30 miles from Kyiv. The United States-NATO could likely destroy it. But that would be direct involvement against Russia and risk, everything. Does the West watch in silence as it rolls?-Richard Engel (RichardEngel) February 28, 2022
If you heard something, looked outside, and saw a mushroom cloud growing in the distance, how much thought do you imagine you would be having about the importance of NATOs open-door policy with Ukraine?
Everyone is freaking out about RT when all they would have to do to kill it is simply allow leftist and antiwar opinions on western mass media. You would steal their entire audience. But we all know that is never going to happen because it was never actually about Russian state media; it is about silencing opponents of the official imperial narrative.
Dear shitlibs,
Saying that hawkish escalations spearheaded by the most powerful empire in history led to undesirable consequences in Ukraine is not actually the same as an abuser saying "look what you made me do" and does not have "what-was-she-wearing energy."
Love, Caitlin
This criticism shows up in my online notifications literally every single time I talk about the role of the United States empire in paving the way to the Ukraine invasion, and to be clear, the battered spouse and rape victim in their analogy is not Ukraine but the United States empire.
The poor widdle United States empire. They are literally demanding that no one on the internet criticize the most dangerous actions of the most powerful and destructive government on the face of this planet. At all. It is just unbelievable that they think this is a normal and acceptable thing to do.
It is simply forbidden to talk about the role the worlds largest power structure had in this conflict. You are only allowed to say it is happening solely because President Putin is evil and hates freedom.
"You can criticize the United States empire AND Russia, Caitlin."
One of those is already being criticized at fever pitch by literally all government and mainstream media institutions in the entire western world, while the other is almost never criticized by those institutions in any meaningful way.
I saw someone in the comments of a post about nuclear war say "it would be Putins fault" if one happens. Like that would be any consolation to anyone on earth when the bombs go off. People still think about this thing in terms of political point-scoring, that is how f-cked we are.
Deteriorating material conditions can cause people to rise up against their government.
Imperialists understand this, which is why they work to foment unrest with starvation sanctions in empire-targeted nations while at home keeping people fed just enough to prevent an uprising.
