Ukraine War! What Is It Good For? The Nazi Agenda – OffGuardian – https://off-guardian.org/2022/03/28/ukraine-war-what-is-it-good-for-the-nazi-agenda/
#Russia’s position in the global and specifically the European energy market gave it the leverage it is using to counter #NATO expansionism. This is contrary to #US interests, since the European Union could potentially threaten US dominance of the NATO alliance. #Ukraine, as the main transit hub for Russian #gas supplies to #Europe, was a choke point.

The US and Russia engaged in a diplomatic mini-Cold War. As NATO raced eastward, Russia and Germany constructed the Nord Stream pipelines with a view to ending their mutual over-exposure in a politically unstable Ukraine. By circumnavigating Ukraine, both EU aspirations and Russia’s security vulnerabilities could be addressed. Those goals were unacceptable to the US.

The US strategy for regime change in Moscow has been long in preparation. In 2013 (before Ukraine’s President Yanukovych was overthrown in 2014) , Carl Gersham, director of National Endowment for Democracy (NED), wrote: “Ukraine is the biggest prize.” He explained that if it could be pulled away from Russia and into the West, “Putin may find himself on the losing end not just in the near abroad but within Russia itself.”
