Veteran Paleocon Urges Washington Not to Let Kiev Drag US Into Unwanted War With Russia
As chief sponsor to Kiev in the ongoing Ukrainian security crisis, Washington has the right to tell Kiev when enough is enough as far as US arms deliveries are concerned, and that time is right now, says staunch anti-interventionist and veteran paleo-conservative commentator Pat Buchanan.
💬 “The US ought not dictate to Kiev when it should move to the negotiating track to end this war. But we Americans do have, given our indispensable contributions to the Ukrainian war effort, the right to tell Kiev when we believe that the risks of further fighting exceed any potential gain for us; and, if Kiev is determined to fight on, to give notice that Ukraine will be doing so without any more US munitions,” Buchanan wrote in a recent op-ed.

⚡️ Kiev plotting provocation to subvert UN initiative on resumption of ammonia transit, source says
Guided by UK Special Services, and with help from Canada’s GardaWorld, the provocation is to echo the blasts carried out at Nord Stream pipelines, a military-diplomatic source has told Sputnik. The goal, like in the case of the September sabotage at the pipelines, is to prevent Russia from exporting its resources to other countries.
The Kiev regime’s plan reportedly presupposes blowing up ammonia storage facilities at Odessa Portside Plant to subsequently blame Russia for the explosion.
