Ukraine Alone Makes Biden The Worst United States President In A Long Time by Ms Caitlin Johnstone!
Listen to a reading of this article:
Antiwar libertarian hero Scott Horton has a viral tweet going around which reads simply, "Bidens refusal to attempt to negotiate an end to the war in Ukraine is the greatest scandal in American political history."
Kind of smacks you in the face, does it not?? I have never seen anyone put it quite like that before, but if you think about it, how could it not be true?
It is just a simple fact that the Biden administration is actually hindering diplomatic efforts to negotiate an end to this war, and that it has refused to provide Ukraine with any kind of diplomatic negotiating power regarding the possible rollback of sanctions and other United States measures to help secure peace. Washington,D.C.s top diplomats have consistently been conspicuously absent from any kind of dialogue with their counterparts in Moscow.
Statements from the administration in fact indicate that they expect this war to drag on for a long time, making it abundantly clear that a swift end to minimize the death and destruction is not just uninteresting but undesirable for the United States empire. Ukrainian media report that United Kingdom Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Mr. Zelensky on behalf of NATO powers that "even if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with President Putin, they are not."

And this is not just another war.
This is a proxy war being waged by one of the worlds two top nuclear forces against the worlds other top nuclear force. This is more serious than Iraq. It is more serious than Vietnam. It is more serious than any United States war that has happened in the lifetime of anyone likely to be reading these words, because Russia has increasingly valid reasons to believe its very existence as a nation is being threatened. This is therefore a war that could very easily result in the death of everyone on earth.
The United States Secretary of "Defense" has openly said that Americas goal is to "weaken" Russia in this war. President Biden himself has made statements which can only be interpreted as calls for regime change in Moscow. United States officials have been leaking to the press claims that United States intelligence has directly facilitated the killing of Russian generals and the sinking of a Russian war ship.
The imperial political-media class are not even denying that this is a United States proxy war anymore. In an alarmingly rapid pivot from the mass medias earlier position that calling this a proxy war is merely an "accusation" promoted solely by Russia, we are now seeing the use of that term becoming more and more common in authorized news outlets. The New Yorker came right out and declared that the United States is in "a full proxy war with Russia" the other day, and United States congressman Seth Moulton recently told Fox News that the United States is at war with Russia through a proxy.
"At the end of the day, we have got to realize we are at war, and we are not just at war to support the Ukrainians," Moulton said. "We are fundamentally at war, although it is somewhat through proxy, with Russia. And it is important that we win."
Wait what??? We are officially in a proxy war with Russia? Did anyone sign up for this??-Eli Stein (Fight_Back_NYC) May 2, 2022
How fast did that happen??
How fast were we paced from "It is Russian propaganda to call this a proxy war" to "Obviously this is a proxy war and we need to make sure we win"? Fast enough to make your head spin, that is for sure.
And it is not just a proxy war, it is a proxy war the United States knowingly provoked. We know now that the United States intelligence cartel had clear vision into Russias plans to launch this invasion, which means they also knew how to prevent it. A few low-cost maneuvers like promising not to add Ukraine to NATO as well as promising Mr. Zelensky that the United States would protect him and his government from the violent fascist factions who were threatening to kill him if he honored the Minsk agreements and made peace with Russia as Ukrainians elected him to do. That is all it would have taken.
Many, many western experts warned for many years that the actions of the United States and NATO would lead to the confrontation we are now being menaced with. There was every opportunity to turn away from this war, and instead the United States-centralized empire hit the accelerator and drove right into it. Knowingly.
The whole thing was premeditated. All with the goal of weakening Russia and effecting regime change in Moscow in order to secure United States unipolar hegemony.
The Biden administration was the last in a long line of decision makers to choose this world-threatening confrontation over peace. There was an opportunity to avert this horror, and that opportunity was not taken.
Allowing the world to come this close to nuclear war already makes Biden the worst United States president since Bush. At least. History may well show his to be the single most depraved presidency of all time.
Preventing nuclear war is a United States presidents single most important job. It is so important you should not even really have to talk about it, because it is so self-evidently the number one priority. And this administration is just rolling the dice on nuclear conflict with increasing frequency every day.
Even if humanity survives this standoff (and the one with China that is next in line), Biden will still have been an unforgivably depraved president for allowing it to get this close. There is no excuse whatsoever for just casually rolling the dice on all terrestrial life like this.
Just seriously meditating on what nuclear war is and what it means should be enough to show anyone that any flirtation with the remotest possibility of inflicting it on our world is unforgivable. It is the worst crime anyone could possibly commit short of actual nuclear war.
Now all we can do is hope some small spark of sanity ignites deep within our species before we snuff ourselves out for good.
