pamho | Ukraine’s elites had given into promises of great financial rewards by foreigners who controlled the IMF but who also had an agenda to bring down the economy and government of Russia. The demand by American and European elites in return for billions of dollars in aid and military protection — was for the government of Ukraine to fight a bloody and unwinnable war with Russia over control of the resource rich Donbas region. And also to change their laws for neoliberal reforms to allow the foreign buying of land and businesses.
Obviously they had a huge obstacle for that plan because of Russian military might. But what is the destruction of Ukraine if the rich and powerful could get richer and more powerful?
Obviously the foreigners pulling the strings knew they couldn’t win a war against the far larger Russian military. Russia had by far the largest and most modern military in Europe. To defeat them on the battlefield was impossible. But the western elites wanted the elites of Ukraine to fight the war anyway. Why?
A future with the current economic system of the world remaining as it is—controlled by American and European elites — was seen by those elites as less and less likely as time goes on.
Whitehall’s major problem with Moscow is that it “is seeking its own independent sphere of influence separate to any American-backed global order or rule book”, the then head of the British army, General Sir Mark Carleton-Smith, said last year.
Unacceptably to British planners, Russia elected to become a rival. Then defence secretary Michael Fallon said in 2017 that “Russia has chosen to become a strategic competitor of the West”.
His successor, Gavin Williamson expressed a similar lament, saying that “after 1990 we … believed there would be only one superpower”, referring to the US. Now, “Russia wants to assert its rights”, he complained. From EXPLAINER: BRITAIN’S PROXY WAR ON RUSSIA
For years China and Russia have been building a new financial system for their allies and business partners. Sanctions by western elites on so many nations and on so many powerful and rich people around the world, had led to their desire to escape the reach of the business elites who control American and European politicians from behind the scenes. It was only a matter of time until American and European financial control over the world would end as more and more countries became dependent on China and Russia for their imports and exports, for loans, for weapons, etc. The elites of America and Europe could see the writing on The Great Wall and were determined to put a stop to it.
But how to do that?
It was a very dumb plan. The plan was to entice Russia — to basically force them into defending the Russian people in Ukraine or lose face to the world as an impotent power. Thereby leading to defection from the new Russian and Chinese led economic system challenging the western powers. But first they needed a “moral basis” to try to destroy the Russian economy by “morally correct” sanctions. They couldn’t just cut them off for no reason but to harm them. Cutting them off from the American and European financial system, from their banks, from their insurance, from their markets, from their payment processing systems, from everything and anything if they have to — was the plan. That in turn would hopefully lead to revolution in Russia, or at least a coup.
They would use that destruction of the Russian economy and a hopeful coup by business interests to bring into power a pro-western government. That would then be used to pressure China to give up its plans for independence or fear facing a similar onslaught.
