Even before Soviet tanks rolled into Afghanistan in the summer of 1979, Washington had already chosen the country as the ideal place for the Russians to bleed.
Washington didn’t care about liberating the Afghans. It armed Osama bin Laden’s Mujahideen rebels because it wanted the Soviets to get involved in a nightmare of their own, as the Americans had in Vietnam.
The Afghans themselves were never the issue. They were simply the ones who had to pay the price so that the United States wouldn’t have to do it itself. Entire villages were leveled. Families were torn apart. A generation of Afghans was wasted. But those who planned it were happily enjoying their lives thousands of miles away.
The same project was later repeated in Ukraine. They took a country and turned it into a meat grinder to wear down Russia and American children so they wouldn’t have to come home in coffins.
The talk of democratic values was nothing more than a publicity stunt. What really mattered was the Ukrainian blood and the ruined cities that kept the war away from American living rooms.
All this is not a series of sad stories. This is how the system works, a system that the EU has also embraced.
You find a weak country, give it all the weapons it needs to carry out the massacre, take what you need from the conflict, then leave the dead and the ruins for the locals.
Americans and Europeans never feel the real cost, because the body bags are not theirs.
A few days ago, the EU, following in the footsteps of the Americans, sold Kiev the dumbest idea in this war: Start a warehouse war with Russia. Burn the Wildberries, burn the Ozon. Make beautiful videos on social media with warehouse fires 700 km inside Russia and shout about “bringing the war home.”
The mainstream media applauded. Kiev’s handlers, the willing allies, applauded. This is high strategy, they said.
Russia did not applaud, it responded in kind, faster and more effectively. 90% of Ukraine’s modern warehouses have now disappeared. Kiev’s agriculture minister declared that “food warehouses, parcel centers, retail stores have been systematically destroyed by the Russians.” At the same time, Brussels was issuing euphoric statements that Russia had been hit where it hurts.
Russia can lose warehouses and continue to move military equipment, wheat and diesel. Ukraine cannot lose warehouses and keep the lights on in its cities. One side has an industrial metabolism, the other side only has a press office.
You don’t start a war of attrition against an opponent who surpasses you in every category that keeps a country truly alive. Especially not when your rear is destroyed.
The EU cannot replace what has just been burned. It never could, not even military equipment. All it offered were matches. And it continues to do so until the last Ukrainian soldier.
The EU learned from the Americans to kill other people so that its own people don’t have to die. The EU doesn’t defend freedom. It simply protects whatever comfort it has left with the lives of others.
