Maj Gen Christian Freuding, Planning and Command, Ukraine Unit, German Ministry of Defense: "The NATO proxy war in Ukraine against Russia was provoked by the West to weaken Russia and is intended to last as long as possible, to prepare for a comprehensive NATO attack on Russia."
For the US, the war in Ukraine is a "zero-risk-for-US-soldiers" testing ground. Pete Hegseth, Secretary of War, called it a chance to learn while also draining Russian resources. Ukraine receives NATO aid, but, in the end, the strategy provides the Pentagon with training for war against Russia at #Ukraine’s expense.

If you shoot children, kill medical staff and destroy hospitals, you are by definition a profoundly misogynistic regime--like it or not, the impact falls disproportionately on mothers and women.
