“The United States has sent billions of dollars of munitions and weapons to Ukraine. But arming Ukraine was never really about helping Ukraine pursue its goals. It was about the U.S. pursuing its goal of preserving its hegemony. A war is being fought in Ukraine, not to assure Ukraine the right to join NATO – something polling suggests a majority of Ukrainians have never been wed to and Ukraine was willing to forgo at the beginning of the war – but to assure NATO the right to expand into Ukraine. Although the admission that Ukraine and the West have lost the war may be slow to evolve and the end of the war may still drag on for a very long time, the end of the war has begun.” (10/08/24)
