This was actually a move that Russia wanted to avoid, despite what the Western media was reporting at the time. The US’ Sacrifice of ItselfNone of the wars or occupations that the United States has instigated and/or taken part in in the 21st century have been undertaken for humanitarian purposes. All of the conflicts the US has participated in in the 21st century have been empire expanding, profit driven ventures including the current proxy war in Ukraine. Every war and every occupation that the US has instigated or taken part in the 21st century has been a massive failure. Both the Democrat and Republican parties are now fully subordinate to their mega-wealthy neocon donors who have profited immensely off of all of the aforementioned 21st century US conflicts.
