That’s been the goal of the regime since the US sponsored coup in 2014: to convert Ukraine into an imperial forward operating base from which to launch attacks into Russia in exchange for US assistance in propping up the coup government’s control over the territory.
I'm not familiar with the history of US interest in Ukraine but that does not surprise me. As someone seeing the war happen and knowing it was against Russia I figured it was about the "noble fight against communism" but combined with the fact that an aim is also to be a large scale weapons manufacturer sounds like there is gonna be much much more Imperialism to do besides fighting Russia.
It just kinda tied things together for me yesterday learning about the natural resources in Gaza that Israel is likely after as well as conflicts like the Armenian genocide, the strengthening of US relations with other countries in the area, all of it
Bro calling the war “against russia” is hilarious
