Not all Americans are NEOCONS looking for World War III like Lindsey Olin Graham. I believe Trump is being played by the NEOCONS, and advocating that NATO can shoot down Russian planes if they even venture into their airspace is an act of war. Some of the NEOCONS, such as John Bolton, never served, yet have no problem sending others to die in combat. Lindsey has served in the military, though he has not fought in combat or been in an active war zone. He was in the United States Air Force (active duty from 1982–1988).
Anna Paulina Luna was in the military from 2009 to 2014. I can say she is anti-war, and she does have a fire in her belly. It is Congress that must issue a declaration of war. Roosevelt had to impose sanctions on Japan, freezing all their assets in the USA, then threatening to put an embargo on it to prevent Japan from buying energy from anyone else. That was what led to Pearl Harbor. Once they attacked, then Roosevelt finally got his declaration of war from Congress.
Luna is at least on our side. I give her credit for opening a dialogue with Russia. Putin is doing everything he can to avoid World War III. My concern is that the media in Europe and in the USA are bought and paid for by the NEOCONS and the Military Industrial Complex that President Eisenhow warned us about, which will always promote war, for that is how they make their billions with the blood of others.
When Kruschev backed down from the 1962 Missile Crisis, the dignity of Russia was called into question. There was a coup and Kruschev was ousted.
Russia was invited to join NATO. Because the hardliners feared he might do that and surrender Russia to its postwar enemy, NATO, they staged another coup and overthrew Gobabchev. That is when Yeltsin stood on the tank and told the military not to follow their orders and not to shoot their fellow Russians.
Trump and NATO are playing a perilous game of chicken. Trying to force Putin into this corner to show your balls are bigger than his runs the risk of yet a third coup, and this time they will get more than they bargained for. With longer-range missiles, Ukraine can destroy all the military targets inside Russia to reduce it to ashes, which is the real goal of this Ukraine War. My sources have been obvious. NOBODY EVER EXPECTED Ukraine even to survive. The only objective was to use Ukraine to weaken Russia so that NATO could walk in unopposed.
Any news article that starts out saying “When Russia launched an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, it set off the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II,” is propaganda put out by NATO, NEOCONS, and the war mongers. If anyone cared about the Ukrainian people, they would have honored the Minsk Agreement. The powers behind the curtain want war with Russia, and they intend to get it.
