"The branding of Vladimir Putin as a war criminal by Joe Biden, who lobbied for the Iraq war and staunchly supported the 20 years of carnage in the Middle East, is one more example of the hypocritical moral posturing sweeping across the United States. It is unclear how anyone would try Putin for war crimes since Russia, like the United States, does not recognize the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court in The Hague..."https://www.commondreams.org/views/2022/03/23/war-crimes-and-lie-american-innocence

"If we demand justice for Ukrainians, as we should, we must also demand justice for the one million people killed—400,000 of whom were noncombatants—by our invasions, occupations and aerial assaults in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Yemen, and Pakistan. We must demand justice for those who were wounded, became sick or died because we destroyed hospitals and infrastructure."https://www.commondreams.org/views/2022/03/23/war-crimes-and-lie-american-innocence

"The current political dispensation in Ukraine has been accused of being intolerant towards any position critical to its pro-western and pro-NATO policies. The dominance of right-wing and neo-Nazi groups in the political sphere has been witnessed since the Euromaidan movement in 2014, which forced then president Viktor Yanukovych to resign because of his government’s reluctance to adopt pro-EU policies and his supposed closeness to Russia."https://popularresistance.org/opposition-political-parties-banned-in-ukraine-and-unified-information-policy-imposed/

"A former US State Department official has stated openly that the conflict in Ukraine is a NATO 'proxy war with Russia,' and called for killing as many Russian soldiers as possible, 'the more and faster the better.'These comments were made by Eliot A. Cohen, who served as a counselor for Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice from 2007 to 2009, in the George W. Bush administration’s State Department."https://multipolarista.com/2022/03/24/us-official-ukraine-nato-proxy-war-russia/

"Cohen’s ultra-bellicose views are quite representative of his fellow hawks in Washington; he is by no means alone. His article in The Atlantic provides an honest glimpse into how prominent US imperial planners see the crisis in Ukraine: as an opportunity to use the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder in a proxy war to bleed Russia."https://multipolarista.com/2022/03/24/us-official-ukraine-nato-proxy-war-russia/

"Russia is not our enemy. However, polls indicate that seventy percent of Americans view Russia as an enemy.

"The Bolshevik revolution paved the road to peace for Russia in World War I. For this, the so-called Western 'allies' invaded the Soviet Union on the side of the defeated counter-revolutionary White Army. The invasion included the deployment of at least 13,000 American troops. Western military support for the counterrevolutionaries prolonged a civil war which would take the lives of 7-12 million people in the Soviet Union..."https://chroniclesofhaiphong.substack.com/p/russia-is-not-our-enemy-a-background?s=r

"The message is clear: Russia will not end the war without being treated as an equal by those who provoked the crisis. No number of sanctions or military escalations can force Russia to concede on its demands. Russia believes that international law is simply not applicable when the U.S.-NATO alliance and its imperialist allies have spent the last half-century trampling on it whenever they see fit..."https://chroniclesofhaiphong.substack.com/p/russia-is-not-our-enemy-a-background?s=r

"A multipolar world is in birth and growing faster than the U.S. and its imperialist allies expected. Russia has reliable friends, including a rising and stable socialist China, that can help soften the blow of sanctions. Russia also has the capacity to restructure its economy in ways that prevent total collapse even if hardship from U.S. and EU sanctions is guaranteed."https://chroniclesofhaiphong.substack.com/p/russia-is-not-our-enemy-a-background?s=r

"Russia’s perspective teaches us the most important lesson of all: Peace and stability worldwide is impossible unless the root of endless war is extinguished. That is, only the eradication of NATO gives the necessary breathing room for a political environment to emerge where Russia and Ukraine can independently resolve conflicts free of foreign interference."https://chroniclesofhaiphong.substack.com/p/russia-is-not-our-enemy-a-background?s=r
