Expect F-16's to be piloted by U.S. and token NATO pilots.

UKRAINE IS DOOMED WITHOUT ALL OUT NATO WAR

RUSSIA IS PREPARING FOR THIS CONFLICT

Imagine a Ukraine, a neutral, non-aligned nation in the heart of Europe, able to trade with Western Europe and the huge landmass to the east. An educated nation with vast natural resources, a large undeveloped land mass. Just such a proposal by Russia that was soundly rejected by Washington and NATO. Forget such a image, it will now never be a reality. 

The leadership of Ukraine made a decision years ago to hitch its wagon to the genius foreign policy experts of the United States, who had a different vision.  A vision of using Ukraine as bait to lure Russia into a war that they could exploit to destroy Russia and hopefully allow them to have access to the largest store of natural resources in the world. A plan that is floundering, a plan that has now divided the world into two armed camps on the verge of all out war.

The genius policy planners in Washington's plan has not exactly gone as expected. Russia backed off occupying large parts of Ukraine,  thereby denying them the opportunity to bleed the Russians of resources. In fact, just the opposite has happened. Western Europe and the United States are bleeding resources at an alarming and unsustainable rate. Saddled with huge debts and declining economies, they may be the victims of their own plans.

The U.S. and its servant NATO have gone around the world with the mantra, you are either our ally or our enemy. No neutrality or fence sitters allowed. Even that plan has had mixed success as we see the middle east and many others just saying NO. NO, we want to chart our own course, not get hitched to a policy that has ended in death and destruction across the world for the last 30 years.

The West's Ukrainian plan has failed, the question is, can the architects in Washington deny their arrogance and hubris and admit defeat or are they willing to take the whole world over the edge into and apocalyptic era of mass death and destruction?
