thread title doesn't even begin to show the depths of our involvement -but it makes the case we are at war against Russia
The administration has used the global financial system as a weapon of economic warfare against Russia.
The proxies in our supposed proxy war include not just Ukrainian troops, but also American technology and American troops.
Ukrainian military’s communications are protected from Russian jamming because they use Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite.
The American government is paying American manufacturers to send state-of-the-art weaponry to Ukraine in order to destroy Russian equipment and kill Russian soldiers. American soldiers train Ukrainians in the use of the HIMARS rocket artillery system.
Biden’s economic warfare might not have beaten Russia, but it’s driving America’s European allies into a recession.
It’s not doing much for Americans, either.
The dollar gets almightier by the day as the tired, poor, and huddled masses of foreign investors seek a safe haven for their pounds, euros, and yen. Prices of imports rise with it. Meanwhile, rising energy prices have boosted Russia’s energy export earnings by 38% this year. Russian oil exports have risen by 12% despite six rounds of economic sanctions.
The U.S. is fighting a war on the other side of Europe that it cannot win, and the Europeans don’t want a war at all. This is the very definition of overreach.
It is exactly what George Kennan, the architect of Cold War containment, warned against when he called the Clinton administration’s expansion of NATO up to Russia’s borders a “tragic mistake.” The Biden administration’s strategy is compounding that mistake.
