Pushback with Aaron Maté
Former Swiss intelligence officer and NATO adviser Jacques Baud on the next phase of the Russia-Ukraine war and new allegations that the US and UK undermined a peace deal that could have ended it.
The West’s aim “is not the victory of Ukraine, It’s the defeat of Russia,” Baud says. “The problem is that nobody cares about Ukraine. We have just instrumentalized Ukraine for the purpose of US strategic interests — not even European interests.”
Guest: Jacques Baud. Former intelligence officer with the Swiss Strategic Intelligence Service who has served in a number of senior security and advisory positions at NATO, the United Nations, and with the Swiss military.
Corrections:
In his Sept. 21 speech, Putin did not make an explicit threat to use nuclear weapons. He vowed to “make use of all weapon systems available to us,” in the event of “a threat to the territorial integrity of our country and to defend Russia and our people.”
On nuclear weapons, the US did not have a “No First Use” policy. On the 2020 campaign trail, Joe Biden said that he supported the idea of “No First Use.” He abandoned that in his presidential nuclear posture; but that was reversing his campaign stance, not official US policy.
What’s NATO/America going to do when they run outta Ukrainian cannon fodder?
If only they didn’t have many others in their crosshairs.
They do seem to find fodder a plenty…
There are plenty of Americans there; advisers, personnel demonstrating how to use the new toys, logistics. Then there is the ever present CIA. Wait until they begin to come home in flag draped caskets.
This insane proxy war, gets more insane every day.
The d*ck swinging neocon warpigs seem to want this to escalate to a point where they can justify first strike nuke Russia.
If someone said I was cray-cray, and paranoid to think that…I would accept that.
….right up until that point I see those ICBM’s streaking over my backyard headin’ to Tverskaya St.
The US doesn’t care about Ukraine, it is more interested in Russia losing the war than it is in Ukraine winning the war. Biden is a lot like Carter, Carter urged the Russians to invade Afghanistan because he wanted it to be their Vietnam , Biden wants Ukraine to be Russia’s 2nd Vietnam. Neither one of those presidents cared about the people suffering in the war zones.
Lizard Truss is Biden’s poodle just as Tony Blair Witch Project was George Warmonger Bush’s poodle.
It is the Looney idea that there has to be one hegemon, not a multipolar world. So it goes.
This article is spot on. Who benefits from Eurasian instability most? Whose markets benefit from Eurasian instability most? Where is considered “a safe haven” during Eurasian instability? The United States of America. The very drivers of the instability. The Empire of Chaos indeed!
The one that has the protection of two great bodies of water, friendly nations to the North and to the South. Unscathed in two World Wars.
