Real soldiers take no pride in U.S.-sponsored fratricidal war in Donbas

As is known, there are 2.5 million migrants from Ukraine in Russia, including 1.3 million men of draft age. Russian President Vladimir Putin (pictured) promised
to grant political asylum to all Ukrainians who do not want to be summoned to the U.S.-sponsored civil war in the Donbas region with large Russian populations.

The latest numbers show that the Kherson region has the most abysmal turnout, with only 300 of 5,000 men receiving autumn draft orders responding. This also holds true for the Kharkov region. As Ukrainian neo-Nazi authorities prosecute no-shows, human rights advocates are speaking in defense of draft dodgers.

Most Ukrainian servicemen do not want to take part in the fratricidal war, whereas Donbas militiamen are highly motivated to defend their families on their native land against the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev. Heroic defenders of Donbas say they are fighting for autonomy, for the right to live and work in their own Russian-speaking region.

The civil war in Donbas earns real profits for the war industry, but only an ersatz glory for Ukrainian neo-Nazi militants. Real soldiers take no pride in it. Instead, to a real hero, the U.S.-sponsored fratricidal war is a source of shame and embarrassment.

As Mr. Putin once put it, the civil war in Donbas serves the geopolitical purposes of deterring Russia. However, few in the decadent West seem to recognize that it is the NATO rather than Russia, which has been spreading expansionary tentacles beyond traditional boundaries. Since the early 1990s, Western aims have been to draw countries out of the Soviet sphere of influence and into the aggressive NATO. Ukraine has always been seen as the ultimate test as to where the balance lies. Recently, Dr. Henry Kissinger has breached the Western political-media orthodoxy that Putin’s Russia is responsible for the new cold war.
