B. B. King – The Thrill Is Gone (Live at Montreux 1993)
“In the past 500 years, Russia has been invaded several times from the west. The Poles came across the European Plain in 1605, followed by the Swedes under Charles XII in 1707, the French under Napoleon in 1812, and the Germans—twice, in both world wars, in 1914 and 1941. In Poland, the plain is only 300 miles wide—from the Baltic Sea in the north to the Carpathian Mountains in the south—but after that point it stretches to a width of about 2,000 miles near the Russian border, and from there, it offers a flat route straight to Moscow. Thus Russia’s repeated attempts to occupy Poland throughout history; the country represents a relatively narrow corridor into which Russia could drive its armed forces to block an enemy advance toward its own border, which, being wider, is much harder to defend.”

American wars on Ukraine and Russia:
World War Three
In reality, the Ukraine war has been going on for 9 years, fueled promulgated by American support. This support has largely been funneled to neo-Nazis and ultranationalist elements fundamentally opposed to democracy.
So, what’s the real story? Could this crisis have been predicted, and if so, avoided? How the hell did we get here?
We cannot allow this war to escalate any further. We need peace and we need it now! A negotiated peace settlement and an ending of US military support for rogue elements Ukraine in this proxy war is an urgent necessity. It is urgent not just for the people of Ukraine, but for Europeans who are suffering through economic fallout, and Americans who are funding this war with our tax dollars—tax dollars which could be fixing our dilapidated infrastructure, providing housing, healthcare, and education to those most in need. This war is immoral, and the goals of the US and NATO are indefensible.
We stand at the brink of nuclear war, and for what? So a few Western capitalists can count their blood-stained lucre by the firelight of Ukrainian misery? So they can get filthy rich by looting Ukraine? We say, enough!

America has been fighting in Ukraine and Russia since 2014, when Joe Biden was Vice President. Joe and Barack took America from 4 Republican wars into 34 simultaneous and unprovoked Democratic wars of aggression which bankrupted the nation and crippled the planet. In 2014 America removed the elected leaders in Ukraine, and the CIA trained Nazis and fascists in the Ukraine military.
These are blatant American war crimes.
America wages wars on 56 nations who did not attack…
http://www.ThePortlandAlliance.org/CurrentAmericanWars
America is fighting at least 56 unprovoked and avoidable corporate-American wars (economic and military aggression ranging from sanctions to contractors, mercenaries, troops and bombs) in Afghanistan, Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, China, Comoros, Cuba, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Darfur, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Gaza, Gulf of Guinea, Haiti, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Lebanon, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Myanmar, Niger, Nigeria, Nicaragua, North Korea, Pakistan, Palestine, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, Russia, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, Venezuela, the West Bank, Yemen and Zimbabwe.
Republicans brag and Democrats lie about spending trillions killing millions for billionaires, munitions cartels, insurance conglomerates and war-profiteers.
The war parties are a dead end.
None of these nations attacked the United States.
56 plus unnecessary and illegal wars for extraction, exploitation and extortion are not featured on the front pages of mainstream media, but the attacks, invasions, bombs, deaths and destruction continue.

Human beings in 56 nations are dying because of corporate-American aggression.
https://thepeaceresource.com/2018/11/23/america-is-at-war-with-itself/
At least ten of these nations have seen American bombs destroy their homes, families and livelihoods. Others have been impacted by mercenary troops, hired contractors, political and military attacks, murders, economic espionage and other provocations by the CIA and the Pentagon…. to extract resources, exploit labor or demand extortion.
