In its speeches marking the one year anniversary of the war in Ukraine, the US administration expressed its direct interests in the war, the interests of its allies and the world, and its conditions for achieving peace, which are impossible conditions that do not achieve peace, but rather pave the way for prolonging the war, for which it has so far allocated $110 billion alone, including $45 billion. for the current year.
The US administration promotes allegations of adherence to international rules and standards that have provided security and prosperity to the world since World War II, forgetting its direct responsibility for killing millions of people in its military adventures in many countries of the world since after World War II until today.
The contradictions of US interests from the war on Ukraine
The United States took advantage of this occasion to repeatedly emphasize its great strategic interests in this war, because of its far-reaching global repercussions that forced it to stand by Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression.
According to the speeches and statements of US administration officials, the most prominent of these interests are as follows:
Emphasizing the collective commitment to support international rules and standards that, since the end of World War II, have provided unprecedented security and prosperity, not only for the American people and not only for the European peoples, but for people all over the world as well. A history of another world, forgetting its direct responsibility for killing millions of people in its military adventures in many countries of the world, in Vietnam, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan and Somalia, all after World War II, and it has not stopped this policy until today.
Reiterating that no country will feel safe in a world in which one country violates the sovereignty of another country and commits crimes against humanity with impunity. The US administration sends a clear message to both Russia and China, which are preparing to take similar action against Taiwan if The United States continued its evasive policy with China on this issue.
Testing the world's willingness to unite in order to defend and adhere to international rules and norms, and to provide all kinds of necessary support for that. This test works at the same time to strengthen the position of the United States in leading the world to preserve these rules and norms, which the administration continues The Americans are talking about occasional and inappropriate.
Preventing Putin's victory in this war, because this represents an infringement of these basic principles of the international system that may push other authoritarian countries to impose their will on the world through coercion, misinformation and brute force, which may endanger the international system, which is another direct message to China to warn it of the consequences Doing a similar action against Taiwan, because it will face what Russia faced.
Supporting the rules-based international system in achieving the interests of global security and prosperity, demonstrating the consensus of countries around the world on this, and demonstrating that the world was not united on something like it is now, especially at the level of US allies and partners, contrary to President Putin's expectations At the beginning of the war, he thought that he would be able to break up the Western position on the war because of its economic interests with Russia.
Confirming that the United States stands by all countries committed to the principles of the international order based on rules, and highlighting its ability to mobilize the countries of the world in joint alliances to defend this system. This comes as a repeated and quite clear message to the Chinese and Russian leaders that the United States will not allow them to achieve their demands aimed at amending international order and end the uniqueness of the United States to lead the world, and it is ready to do anything to prevent it.
Emphasizing the commitment of the United States to support the dignity and value of the human being stipulated in the Charter of the United Nations, and affirming that this responsibility rests with the United States and its allies and partners who have the power to achieve human dignity and value today and for future generations. The peoples of the world who suffer from wars, poverty, disease and underdevelopment know that these phrases This commitment that the United States boasts is merely for the rhetorical consumption required by the situation on this occasion, and these peoples wonder about the benefit of the United States leading the world if it could not prevent them from the hell of wars and the torments of poverty, disease, displacement and deprivation.
Emphasizing the rejection of aggression and the seizure of land by force, the erasure of the borders of another country, and the rejection of targeting civilians in war.
The United States announced that it has gathered a global coalition of more than 50 countries to provide Ukrainian fighters with the necessary weapons and supplies on the front lines, warning that defending freedom is not the work of a day or a year, it is always difficult, and that the world is at an inflection point, decisions that will be taken in the years The next five will define and shape people's lives for decades to come
hard peace
On the occasion of the one-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine, the US administration has repeatedly announced that it is seeking pressure for a just and lasting peace, and that it is ready to engage in any diplomatic effort, but within seemingly impossible conditions that have no justification other than prolonging the war, and these conditions are:
That the effort made to achieve peace be useful to stop the Russian aggression against Ukraine, what is important is the nature of the peace that should be achieved.
For peace to be just, the principles of the United Nations that affirm the sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of states must be adhered to.
For peace to be lasting it must ensure that Russia will not be able to enjoy a rest, rearm and re-initiate war in a few months or years.
It is certain that Russia will not accept any of these conditions, and this means that the war will continue for several years to come, until one of the two sides is able to force the other side to admit defeat, and this is what the United States announced that it will never accept, so will Russia accept it?
Or will we witness sudden, dramatic changes in favor of one side against the other?
On this occasion, the US administration has repeatedly been keen to assure the world that Russia is the only one capable of stopping this war today, and until this is achieved, it and its allies will stand with Ukraine no matter what it takes, and will work to strengthen its army on the battlefield so that Kiev will be in the strongest possible position when engaging in a war. Any future negotiations, and this strongly reinforces that the war will witness a different combat escalation in the coming months than it did in the first year of the war.
The US administration believes that President Putin is facing something today that he did not consider a year ago, as the world's democracies have become stronger from its point of view, and the world's tyrannical rulers have become weaker, and that Putin no longer has the slightest doubt about the level of strength of the US alliance, but he doubts about Its viability, continued support for Ukraine, and whether NATO can remain as united as it is now.
The US administration directs its speech to the Russian people, explaining that this war was chosen by President Putin, and that its continuation is his choice, and that he can end it with one word.
In a "naive" speech, to say the least, that contradicts the conditions it set to end the war, the US administration reiterates that ending the war is very simple if Russia stops invading Ukraine.
And the US administration returns to escalate the war rhetoric and announces that the United States has assembled a global coalition that includes more than 50 countries to provide the (brave) Ukrainian fighters with the necessary weapons and supplies on the front lines, warning that defending freedom is not the work of a day or a year, it is always difficult, and that the world is at its best. An inflection point, the decisions made in the next five years will define and shape people's lives for decades to come.
What is the US administration planning for in these years?
