The war-torn 20th century has passed, the Cold War has ended, the USSR is no longer a powerful giant, and the world is a safer place. The Russian-American ideological and strategy bickering continues, and their feud is unabated and interminable. The West, and America specifically, continue to support Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, enforcing the banner of freedom, democracy and defending it. Their support is present and clear, and their determination to continue is adamant. The world knows the preferences and intentions.
I wonder if America will ever be involved in a direct conflict and why Ukraine is so valuable to America. Bill Thomas, author of numerous books on American politics and world affairs, who is also our Georgian friend, gave me a quick answer: “If Trump was president, there wouldn’t be a war in Ukraine.” The Democratic Party’s long-term goal has been to bring down Putin. The Ukrainian government has been used to achieve this goal by organized crime bosses. We can see the result. Most Americans are unaware of the US’s role in the ongoing proxy conflict with Russia. Blame the Democrat-controlled media, but people are starting to realize that giving billions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine – one of the most corruption countries in the entire world – is not a great idea. Especially with the American economy being in such a bad state, thanks to Biden’s policies – which are really Obama’s work, who runs the show behind the scene. Remember that the Democrats’ other goal is to destroy the American economy, and with it the American self-confidence. They want the United States to become a neosocialist country in the Euro-style. I don’t believe Biden/Obama will ever risk a direct conflict with Russia. A new Republican House and Senate could make this virtually impossible.”
Bill gave me permission to use the quote before I even started. I will keep the correspondence for a long time. As an American, I want any American administration to be strong, fair, and efficient. But as a journalist, I’m not taking sides. Bill is an experienced American conservative, and I’m not surprised by his words. But what if he was right? It’s hard to find the truth and incorporate it into my stories, especially after the infamous Russian-Ukrainian War. It’s for this reason that I am always compelled by the urge to cite quotes and excerpts.
Look at this quote from a Democrat in the United States: “The conflict is a test for democracy around the world and the Ukrainian resistance is part of a battle for freedom.” These words are attributed to President Biden. Someone might say that an American man of letters is more credible than the American president, but democracy is what makes us treat all opinions with equal respect and fairness.
Harlan Ullman is one of the American opinion contributors who are often quoted: “Russian military doctrine states that nuclear weapons will be used to defend against an perceived existential threat. Would a defeat in Ukraine trigger the use of nuclear weapons to shock Kyiv or impose peace? This is one of the many existential questions which cannot be dismissed or answered with certainty.
It doesn’t matter what you call it, but the global thoughts and utterances on the war are diverse, and many of them are expressed with a certain amount of hesitation. The worst tragedy is that the world would be poorer if either Russia or Ukraine were to fall, and even more so if both fell.
