Does Biden escalate towards WWIII to win elections?

“There have been ample opportunities for peace agreements that could end this horrific conflict in Ukraine, but the Biden administration seems adamant on provoking a war with Russia,” managing editor of Covert Action Magazine Jeremy Kuzmarov said on Sputnik’s The Final Countdown. “It’s an election year. The Israel situation is really ugly, there are a lot of huge protests against him. Maybe he thinks he can rally the people against Russia.”

Earlier, US President Joe Biden gave Ukraine the go-ahead to use US weapons against Russia inside Russian territory, though he instructed them to limit attacks to the Kharkov area.

The decision came after weeks of numerous European countries also permitting Ukraine to strike inside Russia –without the restriction of keeping the attacks near Kharkov– including France and Germany, which had been publicly lobbying for the US to lift those restrictions.

According to recent polls, Biden is the most unpopular US President at this point in his first term since the 1940s.

Biden also cannot afford another foreign policy defeat, having been embarrassed in Afghanistan where his withdrawal was horrifically botched and in the Red Sea, where he has proven unable to lift the Houthi blockade of shipping lanes. As long as the war in Ukraine continues, Biden doesn’t have to admit defeat, as political cartoonist and co-host of Sputnik’s The Final Countdown pointed out on Thursday.

“If you say you have a new idea, in this case allowing strikes within Russia, then you can credibly claim that the war is not over yet,” Rall contended.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told Sputnik that he hopes that the recent joint military exercises between Belarus and Russia, which included practice with non-strategic nuclear warheads, would serve as “a sobering reminder to our opponents of the catastrophic consequences of further escalation up the nuclear ladder.”

Ukraine ‘advocates’ are fighting for its destruction

“You have to think about how does it benefit [Ukraine] to be bombed and brutalized and have its people killed and maimed for another three months? Half a year? How long is this meant to go on?” asked author Branko Marcetic on Sputnik’s The Critical Hour, who recently wrote a piece in Responsible Statecraft on this subject.

The most adamant and feverish Ukraine supporters do not actually support it at all and are instead promoting its use as a pawn in the US and the West’s geopolitical chessboard.

Ukraine and its Western supporters have repeatedly insisted that Ukraine’s 1991 borders be restored, an impossible ask even at the start of the war that has only appeared more deluded as time has gone on.

In April, the Kiev regime ended consulate services for Ukrainian men abroad, a brazen attempt to force war refugees to the frontlines. This is on top of the countless videos posted on social media of Ukrainian men inside the country trying to avoid the draft, fighting with recruitment officers, and wearing old man masks in an attempt to go unnoticed.

These are clearly men who do not want to fight and die for a cause that even Western military analysts say is a lost cause. Yet Western leaders and online “supporters” gleefully send them to their deaths, while proclaiming that they are the ones supporting Ukraine.

“There is no other conflict in the world where this is the position,” explained Marcetic. “That the country where troop morale is low as it is in Ukraine, has suffered the kind of casualties that it has… there’s no other conflict where you have those conditions and the response is ‘let’s keep this going indefinitely because there’ll be more enemy forces killed.’”
