Western weaponization of Ukraine against Russia forced Moscow to act – analyst
Analyst Mark Sleboda rejected US President Joe Biden’s suggestion that Russia is poised to attack Poland and the Baltic states during last week’s debate with Donald Trump.
“This constant harping that you hear not just in the United States, but in European countries as well, is a Cold War relic,” said analyst Mark Sleboda on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour program. “‘If we don’t fight Putin over there, we’ll have to fight him over here,’ you know, which was a constant propaganda refrain of the Cold War.”
“This [conflict] is entirely being forced on Russia, because if they don’t take Ukrainian territory now, it’s not even a question, they are directly told we will pump Ukraine full of as many weapons as possible,” he noted. “‘We will bring it into NATO and the EU, and we will weaponize and turn it into a battle platform against Russia,’ – Russia is left with no alternative.”
Reporting in The New York Times earlier this year revealed the depth of the United States’ interference in Ukraine, where the US has encircled Russia with CIA bases since the consummation of the Maidain coup in 2014. The development is the culmination of NATO’s attempts to expand towards Moscow after the end of the Cold War, first devouring Eastern Europe before finally attempting to establish itself directly on Russia’s border.
“NATO no longer wants any gray zones or gray spaces,” Sleboda explained. “They no longer want neutral countries. They want to be right up in Russia’s face on their border, implementing what Rand in their grand geopolitical strategy for destroying Russia, overextending Russia, [and] competing for advantageous ground, defined as the pressure cooker.”
