Thank you George! I have often wondered how many of the troops, mercenary or otherwise, understand what they are fighting for. For Russian troops it is a clear case of defending their homeland against imperialist aggression. For Ukraine, it was duped into being a proxy for Washington and it has a history of using proxies to fight its war and doing its dirty work.
One reason the US lost in Vietnam was many of its troops knew it was an imperialist war serving no noble purpose and unwilling to make the sacrifice.
Imperialist wars never have been and never will be worthy causes. All they do is underscore the medieval barbarism of the war mongers who start them.
What is blocking the peace now is Washington's pathetic refusal to take responsibility for a war it provoked and lost. It hasn't got the balls to admit it lost a war to Russia as its favorite scapegoat and whipping boy of the last forty years. So goes the decline and dementia of empires.
Frankly he can stay where he is for his stupidity. A war that is based once again on US and collective west lies. Ukraine has and always been US war against Russia using proxy countries like Ukraine to fight and die for their game of war. I don’t when people are going to realise that war to US is BIG BUSINESS and they make it their business to profit from wars.
More heroic cosplay from the Russophobes. A direct consequence of the endless American propaganda about how Russians are subhuman brutes.
Pray we don’t end up on the other side of WWIII against Russia, they are a brave and stoic people and would kick the US army’s ass back to finishing school.
George, starting my 82nd Year Tomorrow I have long believed like you, it is the US and NATO that have pursued aggressive expansion eastward, fuelling this conflict.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Military Warsaw Pact opposite NATO with it in 1991, there was no need for NATO to extend right up to Russia's border other than US arrogance and hubris and the belief Russia was so weak, they couldn't do anything to stop it.
It was hypocritical as well because the US was so offended by Russian missiles in Cuba in 1962, they perpetrated an Act of WAR with the illegal US Naval blockade of Cuba.
Zbigniew Brzeziński was President Clinton's National Security Advisor and wrote in 1997, “It cannot be stressed enough that without Ukraine, Russia ceases to be an empire, but with Ukraine suborned and then subordinated, Russia automatically becomes an empire."
It is totally absurd for anyone to believe US West Propaganda, after annexing the Russian speaking parts of Ukraine the US Ukraine proxy was shelling, Russia alone would then move West to take on the US and it's 30+ European vassal states.
As a complete unknown Canadian while Americans were celebrating the Revolution, the Kansas City Times was describing and quoting me September 13, 1976 publishing this brief excerpt from a much longer article: “He came to town for the Republican National Convention and will stay until the election in November TO DO GOD'S BIDDING: To tell the World, from Kansas City, this country has been found wanting and its days are numbered [...] He gestured toward a gleaming church dome. “The gold dome is the symbol of BABYLON,” he said.” [...] He wanted to bring to the Public’s attention an “idea being put out subtly and deceptively” by the government that we have to get prepared for a War with Russia.”
That 1976 FUTURE is NOW with the Revelation of the details GENERALLY unfolding in the spirit of the letter. The World is waking up to see Americans may hasten “its days are numbered” part of the 1976 Vision, and waits with bated breath.
Because of that History, when Biden was threatening Russia with Economic Warfare in November 2021, in the week before February 24, 2022, I went to the OSCE website daily, set up by the Minsk Accords to monitor Truce Violations between the US installed anti-Russian Ukraine government, and the majority Russian speaking Ukrainians bordering Russia rejecting the 2014 US-CIA regime change of the Democratically elected Russian friendly Ukraine government they voted for.
Contrary to the US West Propaganda Russia was the aggressor, I saw with my own eyes, Truce Violations were reaching up to 2000 a Day, provoking the Russian SMO to stop it.
In the rules of war, the Geneva Convention, mercenaries need not be taken prisoner at all. Jenkins is lucky to be alive. Perhaps he will reflect on the errors of his ways in the fashion of Dostoevsky!
Again no one mentions the absolute irresponsibility of the media since that last 20 or so years of exploiting pathos and news information about wars for propaganda purposes. I have a friend who flies a Ukrainian flag over his home. When I think of the tremendous amount of symbolic propaganda the sunflowers, yellow, the blue sky the symbols of Ukraine were placed in everyone’s view and minds. This type of mind control is so obvious. Most people are blindly walking around with the weight of the world of propaganda, which lays heavy on people’s minds and hearts. This is no small issue and remains central to our problem of the military industrial complex. We need to be making our own American weapons instead of paying corporations to do this. When there is no money in war, there won’t be as many wars.
Empires need wars. They need them to distract the public from the failures of their leaders. They need them for the profiteering opportunities. They need them for their egos. And many are just sadists and need wars to make them feel important.
We need to blame the media, and the corporate/government complex that controls them. They are exploiting stupid people and endangering them, and all of us.
Finally there is a definite a shift in attitude toward the Genocide with consequences for Israel according to the New York Times. This is a 1st!!!
'Israel’s Allies Condemn Expansion of Gaza War'
Britain, France and Canada called the Israeli plans for escalation “disproportionate” and “egregious” at a time when the U.N. is warning the population is at risk of famine.
“If Israel does not cease the renewed military offensive and lift its restrictions on humanitarian aid, we will take further concrete actions in response,” the statement said.
Britain said it was suspending talks with Israel on expanding a free-trade agreement
I'm especially pleased to have learned about this on X and Canadian News yesterday.
George is such an excellent prolific writer, I don't remember in which one of Georges's previous articles, but I did report the day after Easter Sunday I sent an email to Canadian Prime Minister Carney saying he lacked the Moral Courage to tell it like it is with the Israeli Genocide.
I emailed it to pm@pm.gc.ca on Easter Sunday saying while I'm for him, if he doesn't Publicly say Israel is committing Genocide by Election Day, I will vote against him, and that could be the difference between majority or minority government.
Up to Easter Sunday all the polls were projecting him having a landslide majority. No Public mention of Israel! His government ended up with 2 seats less than a majority.

Got what was coming to him. A bloody fool.

Beautifully articulated Ray.

Too bad more stupid people, namely our illustrious leaders, weren’t getting what they deserve for their careless and ill-informed adventurism!
He’s lucky he only got 13 years and not a loss of life or limbs. He ought to be grateful
we need exactly this type of coverage on edan alexander, instead we’ve getting “he’s a hero alternatively victim” shite
