US and NATO fighting proxy war against Russia in Ukraine: Expert

The US and NATO provoked Russia to invade Ukraine and are now fighting a proxy war against Moscow there, according to an American writer and political commentator.

Myles Hoenig, a former Green Party candidate for Congress, made the remarks in an interview with Press TV on Sunday while commenting on the recent remarks made by Kentucky Democratic gubernatorial candidate Geoff Young.

Young told RT on Saturday that “intellectually bankrupt” politicians of the United States have made a nuclear war with Russia a realistic possibility.

He said that the electorate he has spoken to in his state are “sick of” seeing their tax dollars go to Ukraine.

However, American politicians, he said, are “separated from reality.”

“I think most of them are severely deluded about reality by decades of anti-Russian propaganda in our mainstream media,” Young noted.

He said that “at this moment when humanity is threatened by a possible nuclear war.”

‘Intellectually bankrupt’ US politicians make nuclear war realistic possibility: Geoff Young

An American Democratic politician says “intellectually bankrupt” politicians of the United States have made a nuclear war with Russia a realistic possibility.

Hoenig said a Democratic politician joining the anti-war movement is a rarity these days.

“It is very rare for a Democrat these days not to be waving the red, white, and blue in times of war as Geoff Young is doing. And it’s very interesting that he’s joining a chorus of Republicans questioning funding for this proxy war against Russia,” he stated.

“There is little doubt that the US, NATO, and the West have provoked Russia to invade Ukraine. What you won’t see is mainstream media highlighting a Democrat’s opposition, as war is good for business in the media, as the major war industries advertise with them,” he added.

“It is refreshing also, whether truthfully or not, Young is claiming that his potential constituents are getting tired of spending for the war. With our streets and bridges crumbling, schools in shambles, our transportation system, compared to the Chinese, is horse and buggy, and a pandemic of homelessness amidst thousands of vacant homes, there clearly are more pressing needs at home rather than risking nuclear war and annihilation to beat the chest over who is most dominant in the world,” he said.

“Two weeks ago in Washington there was a Rally Against the War Machine. It was sponsored by the People’s Party and the Libertarian Party, two entities completely at odds over economic and class issues but united in its opposition to the growing strength and control the military-industrial complex has over our political and economic institutions when so much is needed to be done here in the US,” the analyst said.

“The recent train derailment in Ohio occurred in a county Trump won handedly. The victims are now seeing how deregulation and the corporate control of Congress has deadly effects. The same with Young’s constituents. Once rah rah over all things war for the US, they are now seeing the criminality of taking tax money to fund a war against a superpower rather than bring it back home,” Hoenig concluded.

Ukraine war is a US/NATO war against Russia: Writer

An American writer and political commentator said the Ukraine war is a US/NATO war against Russia.

Russia began its “special military operation” in Ukraine on February 24, 2022 with a declared aim of “demilitarizing” Donbas, which is made up of the Donetsk and Luhansk self-proclaimed republics. Back in 2014, the two republics, which are predominantly Russian-speaking, broke away from Ukraine, prompting Kiev to launch a bloody war against both regions. The years-long conflict has killed more than 14,000 people, mostly in the Donbas.

Since the onset of the conflict between the two countries, the United States and its European allies have unleashed an array of unprecedented sanctions against Russia and poured numerous batches of advanced weapons into Ukraine to help its military fend off the Russian troops, despite repeated warnings by the Kremlin that such measures will only prolong the war.
