Stop the Russia-Ukraine War: Kremlin Drone Attack is a Reminder.
Washington’s Wake-Up Call: The Potentially Catastrophic Nature of the U.S. Commitment to Ukraine
The Kremlin Drone Strike
On May 3, a drone strike hit the Kremlin, the center of power in Russia, and where President Vladimir Putin works. The New York Times confirmed the strike was “real,” but the rest of the details are “hazy.” The Times, like much of the corporate media, was quick to deny U.S. involvement in the incident, despite Russian claims that the United States had “dictated” the strikes inside their country. However, leaked documents from the Pentagon confirmed U.S. intelligence is heavily involved in Ukraine’s war effort.
Playing with Fire
Continuing the war in Ukraine, which has turned into a bloody stalemate, offers neither side a pathway to victory. The longer the conflict continues, the more likely it is that something will happen that will potentially involve the U.S. in combat against Russia. Doing everything to prevent the start of a nuclear confrontation ought to be the priority of sane American leadership. But that’s not what we’re hearing from Washington.
The West Must Move to End Fighting
The continuation of the war is both sides’ fault, but the West should be moving to end the fighting. Another year of it will only lead to more casualties and raise the price of the country’s reconstruction. Instead of doing that, Biden is not only doubling down but is also clearly not using the considerable leverage he has. Nor are the American forces in Ukraine that are helping direct Kyiv’s intelligence efforts preventing Zelensky from engaging in actions like the Kremlin strike that might have unknowable and disastrous consequences.
Conclusion
The United States ought to be doing everything possible to end the war in Ukraine. The Ukrainians won the sympathy of the world when they thwarted the Russian invasion of their country. But as the fighting in eastern Ukraine over areas with significant ethnic Russian population has devolved into trench warfare, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is getting more or less a blank check from Washington and NATO. The West should be moving to end the fighting. Another year of it will only lead to more casualties and raise the price of the country’s reconstruction.
