Biden gathered the most-hard line Eastern European members of NATO and told them they were fighting for freedom and democracy.
Co-incidentally, many of these countries were part of George Bush’s ‘coalition of the willing’ backing the brutal, illegal invasion of Iraq twenty years ago in March 2003.
The defence of Ukraine’s national rights has been more and more subordinated to the geostrategic aims of the Western imperialist powers. According to the Kiel Institute, the US and EU have supplied nearly €130 billion in military, financial and humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
The war aims of NATO’s proxy war could not be clearer. It is to weaken Russia and send a message to China that they will not be allowed to overtake Western capitalism.
The European Conservative and Reformist bloc in the European parliament think the aim must be the break up of the Russian Federation. They have declared that, “Taking into account the national and ethnic map of the territories of the Russian Federation, we should discuss the prospects for the creation of free and independent states in the post-Russian space”.
Others take a more sanguine view suggesting that a long war will substantially degrade Russia military capacity.
In the 1990s, the US and China defined themselves as ‘strategic partners’.
According to estimates from the World Bank, the Chinese GDP was approximately 11% of the US in 1960, but in 2019 it is 67%.
In response to this dramatic growth, the US shifted to a new rhetoric that defines China as a threat.
The only winner of this new Cold War is the arms industry.
