Ron Paul: Washington's Ukraine Obsession Risks Nuclear Conflict


Washington’s Ukraine Obsession is Going to Get Us All Killed!



Last week the world narrowly escaped likely nuclear destruction, as the Biden Administration considered Ukraine’s request to allow US missiles to strike deeply into Russian territory. Russian president Vladimir Putin warned, as the request was being considered, that because these missiles could not be launched without the active participation of the US military and NATO, Russia would consider itself in a state of war with both NATO and the US should they be launched. It was a Cuban Missile Crisis on a massive scale.


Thankfully, permission was reportedly not granted by Washington to hit deep inside Russia, but as we have seen throughout this war, a weapons system is often first denied and then eventually granted to Washington’s proxies in Kiev. We should not rest easy even if nuclear war has been temporarily averted.

Would missile strikes deep inside Russia win the war for Ukraine? Not even the Pentagon thinks so. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin himself said earlier this month that granting Ukraine permission to launch missiles into Russia would not be a “game-changer” in the two and a half year war.

Risking nuclear destruction for no tangible purpose? Have these people gone insane?


Even the “game-changers” have changed little in this war. How many times has the pro-war mainstream media told us a weapons system would be a “game-changer” for Ukraine? 

Remember Javelin missiles? Leopard tanks? HIMARS? And as each one of them fails to turn the tide in Ukraine’s favor, the neocons and their friends in the media only demand more.

The fact is that Russia is winning the war despite hundreds of billions of dollars and the best weapons systems from the US and NATO countries. Each new shipment of increasingly sophisticated weapons does not produce battlefield victories for Ukraine. It only produces more dead Ukrainian soldiers and more profits for the weapons manufacturers.

Even the mainstream media – which has solidly supported the Ukraine war – has begun to report on Ukraine’s huge losses and hopeless situation. Yet as more and more start to wake up about the disastrous proxy war, Washington only knows one direction when it comes to war: forward. Just over a week ago the Pentagon announced another $250 million arms package for Ukraine. Nobody believes that is going to reverse the steady gains made by Russia on the battlefield, but it will generate more profits for the US arms manufacturers who are the real force behind our hyper-interventionist foreign policy.

To risk nuclear conflict for the sake of the neoconservative fantasy of global ‘full-spectrum dominance’ is madness.”

They are right, it is madness to risk the future of our country and our children and grandchildren for wars that have nothing to do with us and serve no national interest of the United States. This is certainly true for the Ukraine war, and it is also true for the wars the US is supporting in the Middle East. When will the madness end? When the people speak up and demand a change.

What about the wink and nod? At this point is there any reason at all to believe that these weapons will not be used? Logically these weapons are in country, with a purpose that is within their range and will be used by NATO. They aren’t going to throw away all that effort to get to the point they are over some red line of Putin. History suggests, logic suggests, they will be used and what comes next is….. really up to Putin or whom ever takes his place. So far, Putin has allowed the move east at every step with mere threats of retaliation giving an impression of weakness that has been exploited. Putin has attempted the be part of the club by attending the WEF criminal syndicate meetings and apparently he was not part of their plan for world domination. The synagogue of Satan can have only one master. All of what is happening around the globe is purposely designed for total control. In order to have a one world one leader dominate authority every person must answer to that one leader that includes Israel, China, Russia, United States, and every other inch of this planet. This anti-Christ does not recognize borders or give quarter to other leaders. His purpose is selfish and those that believe they are destined to rule with him are fools. He could care less about whether or not the planet is destroyed in the process.
