So, I believe in this conspiracy theory…
Extending Russia relates to this RAND Corporation report from 2019. I believe that the Ukraine war and sanctions are a part of this strategy that actually predates the publication of the RAND report by at least a decade.
I have been wondering why Ukraine was never admitted into NATO before 2014? Because quite frankly, the US could have admitted Ukraine. Arguments such as military unreadiness or European opposition kind of don’t click. Czechia was admitted without having a NATO standard army, and I am not sure Czechia has a NATO standard army still.😆👌European opposition might be a more valid argument but the Europeans have otherwise been supportive of Ukraine to the point that now they might be the only suppliers of weapons to the Kiev regime. Don’t tell me that was a rare occurrence of sovereign thinking on the part of Germany when they rejected Ukraine’s NATO membership in 2008! Could they not flex the German government into it?
And my opinion is that this was deliberate. Basically, the Ukrainian bunny 🐰 would be lured by a tasty carrot 🥕 promising NATO membership. In fact Ukraine would become NATO de facto but not de jure. Ukraine would be NATO supplied and NATO trained but not a member of NATO and thus there will be no obligation to defend it directly. And this way Ukraine would be primed for a conflict with Russia in which they would be used as a cannon fodder and sacrificed on the altar of Russia anxiety.
This way you can get a conflict that you see now. A localized brutal war in which the NATO countries supply Ukraine fighting Russia. Getting an anti-Russian regime in Ukraine would entice Russia to seize Crimea and defend it. Russia was basically dragged into a conflict. Deliberately, and the Western countries have basically used the Ukrainians. 😆👌
