Ukraine conflict, permanent negative results still expanding.

 UKRAINE, BIGGEST U.S. BACKED DIPLOMATIC FAILURE

REPERCUSSIONS ARE CHANGING THE WORLD

While the accepted narrative is that Russia invaded Ukraine in an unprovoked attempt to begin the process of restoring the former Soviet Union. Many observers do understand that this was in fact a calculated plan to force or bait Russia to protect its security and sovereignty by resisting at all cost further expansion of NATO on its borders.

The hope was that Russia could be drawn deep into Ukraine and systematically destroyed, resulting in a regime change and dismemberment of the Russian federation. The hope was to make its resources available and controlled by the western powers. It is ironic that possibly it will be more damaging to the perpetrators than to Russia.

Then hear the hypocrisy when anyone brings up the question, "What would the U.S. do if Russian or Chinese military bases would be installed in Canada or Mexico, it seems such an analogy is just not relevant to those who have been well programed for decades that Russia is evil and the U.S. is always right.

One other instance of the hypocrisy of U.S. policy was recently exposed when the U.S. general in Europe bragged that Kaliningrad, a small enclave of Russia in the Baltic, was surrounded by NATO nations and was vulnerable to be overrun in a short time. So much for NATO being a defensive alliance.

So, back to the long turn effects of this Ukraine conflict. The first casualty has been of course the people of Ukraine who have died at an alarming rate. It is now estimated that they have experienced 1.8 million casualties, some say that is actually those killed. Then there is near 10 million who have fled the country, many who will never return. It is also reported, by Ukraine that they have now 400,000 deserters, who also may never return. No one mentions those who are maimed and now disabled. Then of course there is loss of at least 25% of the country that will not be recovered.

Meanwhile Europe who has lost its availability of moderate priced Russian energy is slowly being deindustrialized and with the animosity toward Russia may never be available in same fashion in the future. Europe has a bleak future without access to Russian oil.

Geopolitically, Russia is now, by necessity, strongly allied with China and Iran. With the latest desperate effort to force India to stop using Russian oil it is forcing India, who has resisted taking sides, into the same alliance.  India is now in the process of buying Russian arms including air defense and now fighter jets. 

Then there is growing expansion of BRICS, which was formed in 2008, ironically when the U.S. first proposed NATO expansion into Ukraine and Georgia. It has expanded from 5 countries to now 10 members and 10 partners  combined it represents 56% of the world population and 44% of the world GDP. It is an economic alliance that is tariff free, and is increasingly transacting in their national currencies, rather than U.S. dollars. It also rejects sanctions as a political weapon. It has 30 other countries considering becoming affiliated.

Much of the world is moving away from domination of the western powers, this is happening from Asia to Africa and South American.

Much of this move is a reaction against war, intrigue and regime change politics, much of coordinated by the western powers intelligence agencies with full support of their governments. It is now possibly going to be very hard to reverse this trend.

Then there is the United States, laden with a $37 Trillion debt and growing, much of it accumulated in participating and financing war around the world. Most all, not in actual security threats against the United States, but a lust for power to rule the world. The same policies that have historically resulted in the end of Empires.
