The end of the American Empire is just a matter of time. Without another world war, the Chinese economy would just chug along fine and would become the number one economy in nominal terms within a decade, a fate that the Americans cannot stomach, cannot accept and must prevent at all costs. The current world system developed by the Americans would have done very well for the Americans as all the rules were written by the Americans in their favour. Unfortunately the evil Americans sought to go the easy way to remain powerful and rich by selling weapons. To do so they need to create a world that is constantly at war and countries caught in wars would not only be impoverished but also be weak and dependent on the Americans.
This simple formula serves the Americans well in the last few decades. It was one war after another, all started by the Americans using silly ruses. The fear of wars, the rising tension threatening wars created by the Americans in every corner of the earth have caused many countries to keep on wasting money to purchase more and more weapons from the Americans.
Well, things don't often work as planned by evil men. The Americans thought war was a lucrative business, the more wars, the more weapons they sold, the poorer and weaker would be countries of the world. The Americans over spent on wars thinking that more wars would continue to support their wanton spending. But with China and Russia strong enough to act as counter forces, wars are no longer that easy to start, to fight and to win. Russia made the first move to stop the American war business in the Middle by intervening in Syria. All of a sudden conducting wars in the Middle East is not a cakewalk anymore. Starting another war is looking less attractive and dangerous.
The same goes to the western Pacific Ocean. Hey, China is no longer a pushover and could hit back with equal force. Threatening China or North Korea or even Iran can only be threats but cannot be executed without incurring unimaginable costs to the Americans. The Americans cannot be assured of an easy victory in the western Pacific against China or North Korea. They are not weak Muslim countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria or Afghanistan where the Americans could walk in and walk out unharmed and in assured victory.
But the decline of the American Empire must be stopped and a way must be found to prevent it happening. Ukraine presents an unusual opportunity. Russia is strong but manageable if a war does not go nuclear. Further, a limited conventional war in Europe would not only destroy the economies of the EU countries, the destruction of infrastructures in Europe would offer another golden opportunity for a Marshall Plan 2.0 to seal the American leadership and dominance to refurbish the American Empire.
Let Europe be the battle field for a conventional war with the Russians, even allowing the Russians to plough through Europe for a while, destroying everything in their path. There is no need to defeat the Russians, but a stalemate and back to status quo would be good enough. A destroyed Europe needs rebuilding, needs to rearm, and the great Americans could march in to restore Europe to its former self, with American aid, American dollars, American technology and American labour. Europe would be forever indebted to the American Empire and paying the war debt, with Russia still on the other side of the divide, just like now. Burn and destroy and rebuild and back to square one. Nothing change except a poorer and weaken Europe.
America would be richer by many times making the Europeans pay for Marshall Plan 2.0.
The point is whether the Europeans are stupid enough, or weak enough to be dragged into a war with Russia for the sake of the American Empire, with Europe becoming the war zone, Europe being destroyed, Europeans being killed and maimed in a war that they do not need, has nothing to do with them. European countries would be the frontline, European soldiers the first to face the Russians and the first to be wounded and die. The USA and UK would be cheering them on in their homelands, supplying them with more arms and food that would have to be repaid after the war.
Would Europe sacrifice their well being and the lives of their people fighting an American planned war to protect the American Empire and making the Americans, including the Brits, richer and to lord over them after the war? Would Europe be a willing sucker, a sacrificial lamb for the good of the Americans and also the Brits? War, go for it? After destroying Middle East but allowing China to step in to rebuild the ruins of war, the Americans are not going to benefit anything from it. A destroyed Europe would be a better bet for the Americans. War is good, good for the manhood as well.
What a beautiful Plan. Ukraine is just a bait, Russia an unwilling accomplice. Europe the prize. No prizes for guessing who is the biggest winner.
PS. The biggest loser would be Ukraine, country destroyed, its people died or maimed. How stupid can Ukraine be, when they were living peacefully and now in a life and death crisis for listening to the devil, for wanting to sleep with the devil.
