The war in Ukraine is not just about Ukraine and Russia with the U.S. and NATO acting as seemingly benevolent supporters of Ukraine, as the Western media portray.
The United States and its NATO allies are deeply involved in the conflict. The military withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 – after 20 years of futile occupation – was a calculated “reorganization of firepower” against Russia, says Pepe Escobar.
Ukraine is merely a proxy and ultimately cannon fodder for American imperial planners.
This war is part of a bigger geopolitical confrontation between the U.S. and Russia, China and other nations that are pushing for the emergence of a multipolar world. That is a multipolar world no longer under the hegemony of U.S.-dominated Western capitalism.
Pepe Escobar assesses the bigger picture and outlines how the U.S. imperial state is in “panic mode” to shore up the collapsing American-controlled global capitalist system, and in particular the privileged position of the U.S. dollar.
Going to war with Russia presently and in the longer term against China is part of the desperate dynamic to prolong the dominant position of Washington that was established after the Second World War. That postwar imperial order – euphemistically called the “rules-based order” – is increasingly falling into disrepute from unbridled imperialist wars and abuse of financial controls.
The vast majority of the planet wants liberation from the U.S./Western warmongering system that underpins capitalist exploitation that only enriches a global elite. The war in Ukraine is but the manifestation of the breakdown in U.S. global power and the desperation to preserve the systematic inequality that defines capitalism.
This year is fraught with extreme danger, says Pepe Escobar. But if the psychotic U.S. deep-state planners can be contained by Russia and China without an all-out catastrophic war erupting then there is a chance of a more hopeful, peaceful and just world order emerging.

We don't need a multi-polar world, won't work, go back to what worked, right! So, start with keeping deep state non-elected criminals out of our affairs would be an excellent start, in my opinion!
Russia/China have LOTS of weaknesses, and was why the past great men kept them at bay without being stupid, IMO! In keeping America thriving well, they avoided not turning this Nation into some commie cut model for resembling a third world Tyrant ran playground for Globalist's to crap on, right!
IMO, Since Vietnam blunder/9/11/Surveillance worthlessly used by useless agencies/2008 housing crash with propped banks/border laws broken/Globalist interference/NAFTA/ME lingered wars with result questions/Election compromised ballots/inept Leaderships/Covid over-reach used/Ukraine billions spent & non-transparency/etc., till now, USA has faltered to point of pure evil going on now, it's been allowed, and USA needs to turn this ship around fast, IMO! Start with cutting $$$ bloat to labs/military projects in question/propped fake leadership gov. Experiments, IMO! Put Godly law abiding men/women in jobs that produce results this Nation seeks, IMO! This Nation is blessed by God when we give God All The Glory, any Gov. here is limited serving this nations citizens, and we don't keep borders open thus protecting our back doors, duh!
End the cycle for stupidity filled evil, in with using the brains God blessed us with! Real simple, technology won't/can't, replace God and our common-sense, if we know Jesus in our hearts! God Bless America!
