The Ukraine War as a War of Attrition and Geopolitical Agenda
The war in Ukraine is not a humanitarian mission as claimed, but rather a war of attrition with a geopolitical agenda. The US has been prolonging the war and increasing the bloodshed to achieve the long-term aspiration of deposing Vladimir Putin. The strategy is to exhaust and degrade the Russian army, funneling money into the military-industrial complex. The war has turned Ukraine into a killing field, resulting in the death of 350,000 young Ukrainians. The true motive behind the war is not about degrading Russia's military power, but rather advancing a geopolitical agenda. The settlement is simple: NATO should have made a pledge not to expand towards Ukraine, as promised in 1991. The US violated this promise by moving NATO eastward and deploying missile systems near Russia. This provocation, along with the overthrow of the democratically elected government in 2014, has pushed Russia into the hands of China. The architect of the Cold War containment policy, George Kennan, also opposed the expansion of NATO to the east, stating that it was the greatest calamity.
