U.S. Troops in Ukraine in 2023?

If Zelensky is the "new Churchill" and Putin the "new Hitler", then the logical next step is for U.S. troops to openly fight alongside Ukrainians when the regime in Kiev inevitably faces collapse.

Vietnam vets protest the U.S. plutocracy’s war

During his speech to the U.S. Congress on December 21, Ukrainian actor and president Vladimir Zelensky emphasized that American troops are not needed to fight the Russians. Just send lots of weapons and money to Kiev — especially money — and Ukrainians will do the job themselves.

An astute observer of international relations will naturally suspect that Zelensky was lying, as he often does. I’ll wager that Zelensky in fact meant that the Ukraine Armed Forces (UAF) are on the verge of collapse; they won’t last much longer against a larger and better equipped Russian military that now fights for the survival of its country against a massive NATO onslaught.

Sending in American troops is inevitable if Washington wants to defeat Moscow and protect its “investment” in Ukraine that will cost American taxpayers $110 billion just for one year of warfare. Remember: the word “investment” is exactly what Zelensky said, and this was met by thunderous applause in Congress.

This tremendous “investment” must be protected at any cost. And if Zelensky is the “new Churchill” — as U.S. military spin doctors claim — then American soldiers will have to join the liberal crusade against the “new Hitler”. How could we possibly abandon the “new Churchill” to those ‘evil’ and ‘barbarian’ Russians?!

You see how the American public is being prepped to accept U.S. soldiers on the ground in Ukraine? Nothing is accidental in the White House’s media campaign to promote more death and destruction in Ukraine and scuttle hopes for peace.

May 1957: Vietnam’s Ngo Dinh Diem speaks before Congress

On May 9, 1957, Ngo Dinh Diem, president of South Vietnam, visited Washington DC to address a joint session of Congress. Much like Zelensky, he received an enthusiastic welcome and was hailed as the leader of a free and democratic country during a time of global confrontation with Moscow.

Diem told Congress: “Vietnam’s people are intelligent, have imagination and courage. They also draw strength from the moral and material aid they receive from the free world, particularly that given by the American people.”

Like Zelensky, President Diem only asked for money and weapons, and said that U.S. troops weren’t needed. Well, I’m sure you know the rest of the story… In March 1965, the first American troops officially landed in South Vietnam. Far too much money had already been invested, and that “investment” had to be protected.

(‘Fun fact’ — Diem was assassinated in a military coup on Nov 2, 1963, just three weeks before JFK was shot in Dallas).

Today, the regime in Kiev is collapsing, only propped up by a blank check of western aid. Why else would Zelensky have asked Congress for an additional $45 billion. If Kiev was truly winning on the battlefield — as western media propagandists claim — then it wouldn’t need this new package of weapons and aid.

An estimated 150k Ukrainian soldiers have been killed

The White House says that the war in Ukraine is part of an epic, global confrontation between “Democracy and Autocracy”. Russia is an existential threat to civilization. In that context, no sacrifice is too small. The American people will have to rise to the occasion.

However, when Zelensky’s regime nears its end and needs direct U.S. military support, U.S. media propagandists will resort to the usual cheap patriotic slogans — “Freedom isn’t free” and we must “make the world safe for democracy”. We’ll be bombarded with tales of Russian atrocities, and ‘experts’ claiming that Putin is the “new Hitler”.

If and when American troops hit the ground, I’ll wager that they’re going to come up against a Russian army that few anticipated. Isn’t it peculiar that Moscow has so far been using mostly old equipment in Ukraine? Where is all that modern equipment that Moscow supposedly was building all these years? As I’ve said before, I think Donbass is a trap for NATO, and it will also be its graveyard.

History is repeating itself in Ukraine. The U.S. will find itself entangled in another ‘Vietnam’, and it will also lose this war with Russia, just like it suffered disgraceful defeats in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan. Russia is fighting for its very existence, and if the U.S. military can’t defeat an army of goat herders and farmers in 20 years of war in Afghanistan, I highly doubt that it can defeat Russia on its own turf.

Finally, all the above begs the question — will NATO try to bomb targets inside Russia? Most likely, and this will certainly be met with an strong response from Moscow. And I’m not yet talking about ICBMs.

So far, Moscow has shown restraint regarding retaliation for terrorist attacks that were clearly orchestrated by the U.S. — the Crimean Bridge blast, and the natural gas pipeline blast under the Baltic Sea. If U.S. troops officially enter the conflict to help Kiev conquer Donbass and Crimea — now parts of Russia — then military and infrastructure sites in NATO countries will become legitimate targets.

And I suspect that includes the U.S. mainland. There’s information that Russia has already deployed some of its Poseidon nuclear drones in the Atlantic Ocean for attacks against the Eastern seaboard, as well as the United Kingdom. If you don’t know about Poseidon, read more about it here.

Can the above scenarios be avoided? I want to be an optimist, but we have a bona fide madmen in the White House under the control of a psychopathic gerontocracy that’s obsessed with its legacy in history, and which wants to defeat Vladimir Putin in revenge for his defiance to their vision for the global order, not to mention the election of Donald Trump (who, as the conspiracy theory goes, is a Kremlin agent).

Over the past decade, Moscow has gone the extra mile to make peace with the West, with the reasonable proposal to end NATO expansion and secure Ukraine’s neutrality. Despite the efforts of the U.S. media to obfuscate and mislead the public, the basic facts are clear. NATO expansion is the root cause of this conflict. Peace is possible only if Ukraine embraces neutrality. Russia will fight until that goal is achieved.

The American people need to understand that its ruling class, which seeks both personal enrichment and global domination, is leading the country into oblivion in a pointless war 4,500 miles from our borders in a part of the world where we have no strategic interests. And, like in Vietnam, it’s a war that we cannot win.
