"How deep the U.S. state fuels war in Ukraine Blood-eating American politicians like Lindsey Graham want to drag the war forever, so they do everything to thwart negotiations"

A image of Lindsey Graham, a U.S. Senator from South Carolina, and Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, smiling at a camera in Brussels on June 2, is worth a 1000 words.
Graham is 1 of the most utmost instigators of the Washington War, and the competition is rather fierce.

Since he first became a associate of the U.S. legislature more than 30 years ago – erstwhile he became a member, American politicians are seldom recalled – he devoted his career to fierce arguments for war.His remarks are frequently not only militant, but besides sadistic, specified as erstwhile he late wrote that he hopes that "Greta can swim", meaning that she hopes that her ship with assistance to Gaza will be torpedoed.

Joking about attacking a civilian ship with aid that carried a young civilian activist is sick – and typical of Graham.Like his old friend, dead Senator John McCain, Lindsey Graham is possessed by the thought of war on Russia.

He has been pushing for this since at least 2014.

In 2016, he told Ukrainian soldiers: "Your fight is our fight.”
Graham's presence in Brussels is so significant.

Since the appointment of von der Leyen in 2019, it has been a major public face of Brussels institutions.

Six years ago, she said she wanted to make the European Commission a body "geopolitical" – although it has no function in abroad or military politics.Since then, she has done nothing but parade internationally.

It is among the most hawkish and anti-Russian European figures, absurdly claiming, like French abroad Minister Bruno Lemaire, that EU sanctions have put the Russian economy on its knees.Graham-von der Leyen's alliance is so natural – against Donald Trump.

European politicians frequently make it clear that Trump is now the enemy.The same goes for Lindsey Graham.W Kiev last week Graham explicitly challenged Trump's power to decide US abroad policy.

He condemned the very thought of negotiations with Russia – as Zelenski did to Vance in the Oval Office in February – and said that the president of the United States is not the boss.

“There is more than 1 individual at the card table in America. We have 3 branches of power”which means that the legislature will shortly impose its own sanctions on Russia, no substance what the executive authority does.

Graham's draft budget bill of February aims to spend even more money on the U.S. Army—as if possible—which means it mobilizes the deep U.S. state to fight after the first collapse after Trump's re-election.Meanwhile, the Europeans' determination to proceed the war is existential.

Their rusophobia, which reaches at least the 2012 presidential election in Russia erstwhile Putin returned to the Kremlin, is utmost due to their Europe is defined by hostility towards Russia.Russia is “another Europe’, which the EU does not want to be and against which it is defined.

Von der Leyen and others want to usage the war on Russia to federalize Europe and make 1 state.

Meanwhile, Trump's policy towards Russia is based on the marginalisation of Europe.

When he first announced talks with the Russians, EU leaders demanded a seat at the table.

They didn't make it.

US-Russia talks were held outside Europe, in Riyadh, while Russia-Ukraine talks, which the EU powerfully opposed, are held without the EU, in Istanbul.Let us not forget how fierce EU leaders have opposed talks with Russia.

When Viktor Orban went to Kiev and Moscow last July, Ursula von der Leyen condemned ‘Derogations’ Orbana.

At the time, the main EU diplomat said in an authoritative message that the EU "excluding authoritative EU-President Putin contacts".The French abroad Minister said in February that if Sergei Lavrow had called him, he would not have answered the phone.

Now the same people say they want to “Force’ Russians to come and talk!

EU policy towards Russia is now in ruins.Therefore, like Graham, they are determined to halt Trump.

Their trials are increasingly desperate and ridiculous.

On 12 May, Kaja Kallas and another EU leaders said that Russia "must agree” A ceasefire before any conversation.

Three days later, these conversations began.

Britain besides tried to thwart them, saying ‘unacceptable’ is that Russia demands designation ‘Annexes’ regions, which is strange, given that Britain is not a participant.Europe's credibility is so zero.In March the British Prime Minister said plans to send British and French troops to Ukraine entered ‘operational phase’.

He claimed that they were prepared to defend the safety of Ukraine, straight entering the area of war.

By April these plans were abandoned.On 10 May European leaders threatened Russia ‘extreme sanctions’If she doesn't agree to a ceasefire immediately.

Russia refused to suspend its arms, and yet there was no more "Mighty sanctions".

On 14 May, a 17th package of sanctions was announced, but it was so weak that Hungary and Slovakia, which opposed the EU's general policy, let it go despite their ears.

In any case, the 17th package clearly had nothing to do with the ultimatum, as it takes a long time to prepare specified sanctions.

Instead, Lindsey Graham came to Brussels to discuss this issue.The EU and the UK have thus sidelined their pointless boast.

They can't work without Americans.

But what Americans?

The claim that the White home did not know about the fresh Ukrainian drone attack on Russian airports may be true: A deep U.S. state, embodyed by people like Graham, clearly attempts to weaken executive power.Both Lindsey Graham and erstwhile CIA manager Mike Pompeo were in Ukraine just days before the attack.The political goal of the drone attack was, of course, to destruct the talks planned for the following day in Istanbul or provoke Russia to mass respond and drag the US into war.

Even if the attack fails to accomplish these objectives, it clearly sets the speech for the future Ukrainian uprising, which, as American and European officials hope, will turn this country into ‘Afghanistan’ for Russia.

The deep U.S. state is ready for a long game.Like Europeans.May 9, in "Europe Day“ European leaders confirmed their intention to set up a peculiar Court on the Crimes of force to prosecute Russia for invasion in February 2022. Western European states are already the main backing bodies of the global Criminal Court, whose prosecutor is British.

The ICC accused Russian leaders, including Putin, in 2023 and 2024, of various very amazing allegations.

(Ursula von der Leyen continued to lie about "20,000 kidnapped children", the day after the Ukrainians handed over a list of 339 missing children to the Russians).

Now Europeans are going to open a fresh front in their “legal struggle”“ against Russia.Such a peculiar Court, if it arises, will break the heart of any peace agreement – as Ukraine's adoption of the jurisdiction of the ICC in 2014 and 2015 annulled the Minsk Agreement of February 2015.

One side of the mouth Ukraine asked the ICC to prosecute Russian officials and ‘terrorists’ from Donbas;On the another hand, she agreed in Minsk that the uprising on Donbas is an interior problem of Ukraine and excluded any prosecution or punishment (Article 5 of the Minsk Agreement of February 2015).A peace agreement cannot be agreed with the country and a peculiar Court cannot be established, whose sole intent is to criminalise it.

Thus, the creation of this Court, which is likely to be for more than a decade, like the ad hoc tribunals for Yugoslavia and Rwanda, is nothing more than a Euro-American organization delayed ignition bomb aimed at blowing up in the future any agreement that both sides could accomplish in the short term.The future of Europe depends on this.
