Canadian media： Russia-Ukraine conflict is a war going wrong.

????On January 29th, the website of Canadian Aspects magazine published an article entitled "The Fallen Ukrainian War" by Chris hedges. The full text is as follows:

????An empire in ultimate decline will quickly enter the next military fiasco from one military fiasco. The Ukrainian conflict-another failed attempt to re-establish American global hegemony-fits this pattern of imperial decline. The danger is that the more terrible the situation looks, the more the United States will escalate the conflict, which may provoke an open confrontation with Russia. If Russia retaliates against the supply and training bases of NATO countries near Ukraine, or uses tactical nuclear weapons, NATO will almost certainly respond by attacking Russian troops. We will start a third world war, which may lead to a nuclear catastrophe.

????American military support for Ukraine began with basic equipment such as ammunition and offensive weapons. However, the US President Joe Biden’s administration quickly crossed several red lines set by itself and provided Ukraine with a large number of deadly war machines.

????Since the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict on February 24, 2022, the US Congress has approved more than $113 billion in aid to Ukraine and its allies, of which $67 billion has been allocated for military expenditures. At present, 28 countries send weapons to Ukraine. Except Australia, Canada and the United States, the rest are in Europe.

????The rapid escalation of cutting-edge military equipment and assistance to Ukraine does not bode well for the NATO alliance. It will take months, if not years, to train Ukrainian troops to operate and coordinate the use of these weapons systems. Tank warfare is a complex operation that needs careful planning. Armored forces must work closely with air power, warships, infantry and artillery units.

????NATO military commanders understand that putting these weapon systems into war will not change the war situation, which is largely determined by the artillery confrontation on hundreds of miles of fronts. At best, it is a deadlock. Purchasing these weapon systems (including training and maintenance costs, a M1 abrams main battle tank costs 10 million US dollars) only increases the profits of weapon manufacturers. The use in Ukraine can make these weapons tested in battlefield conditions, thus making this war a laboratory for weapons manufacturers such as Lockheed Martin. All this is good for NATO and arms companies, but not for Ukraine.

????Officials in Washington demanded support for Ukraine as a bastion of freedom and democracy, and their hysterical cries were a response to the obvious decay and decline of the American Empire. American war crimes, torture, economic decline, social division (including the riots that hit the Congress on January 6, 2021, the poor response to the Covid-19 epidemic, the declining life expectancy of the population and the vicious shooting incidents that caused many casualties) and a series of military failures from Vietnam to Afghanistan are all well known. All this has destroyed America’s global prestige. Since the end of World War II, the coups, political assassinations, election fraud, smear propaganda, extortion, kidnapping, brutal counter-insurgency offensive, American-sanctioned massacres, torture in black jails, proxy war and military intervention all over the world have never led to the establishment of a democratic government. On the contrary, these interventions have killed more than 20 million people and aroused resentment against American imperialism around the world.

????In desperation, the declining empire of the United States injected more and more funds into the war machine.

????The two ruling parties in the United States (the Republican Party and the Democratic Party) rely on campaign funds provided by military enterprises, and also face pressure from weapons manufacturers in local States and regions.

????These military enterprises use the voters in their constituencies to pass a huge military expenditure budget. Politicians are keenly aware that challenging the permanent wartime economy will be attacked as unpatriotic, and it is usually a political suicide.

????French philosopher and social activist Simone Weil wrote in the Iliad, the poem of power: "The soul enslaved by war is in urgent need of liberation, but liberation itself seems to be an extreme and tragic aspect of destruction."

????Facts will prove that the plan to reshape Europe and change the balance of global power by weakening Russia is exactly the same as the failed plan aimed at reshaping the Middle East. The plan is exacerbating the global food crisis and destroying Europe with near double-digit inflation. It once again exposed the incompetence of the United States and the bankruptcy of its ruling oligarchy. As a counterweight to the United States, China, Russian, Indian, Brazilian and Iranian countries are getting rid of the tyranny of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency, which will cause economic and social disasters in the United States.

????Washington is providing more and more sophisticated weapons systems and billions of dollars in aid, trying to save Ukraine, but more importantly, saving the United States itself, but it will all be in vain.
