The Ukraine War Suddenly Falling Out of the News Tells Us the Narrative Was Never Real

If there is one thing we know, it’s that US policy can shift on a dime. Allies can become enemies overnight and switch back again at the drop of a hat. Watching a nation turn its opinion quickly on cue is unsettling yet mesmerizing. When the US decided to push the proxy war in Ukraine, the airwaves were flooded with a “Putin as Hitler” narrative. According to the story, the invasion of Ukraine was just the beginning. Putin was arming up to march right through Europe, just like Hitler did.

But yet, this narrative is barely mentioned in the news anymore. How could the West suddenly abandon a country being attacked by The Latest Hitler? What happened to the march through Europe? The story disappeared suddenly because it was never real. It was media manipulation from the get-go to get the public to consent to the war. It’s the same old story.

There is a long history of this type of behavior by the United States. In 1991, for example, the run-up to the first Gulf War was filled with news stories of Sadaam Hussein rising up as the next Hitler. The propaganda was not as bad as the deluge of yellow journalism that would come in the Second Iraqi War, but nonetheless, it was significant.

After a flood of propaganda about the evils of Saddam Hussein, the US took action to remove the dictator they had described as “an existential threat.” By the end of the war, however, the US not only ended up leaving Sadaam in power, but the United States stepped back and allowed Hussein to slaughter the Kurds. The Kurds foolishly believed the US would support them when they revolted. The Kurds learned a hard lesson: The only thing worse than being a US enemy is to be a US ally.

Now that the Biden administration is gone, the Ukraine war has slipped out of the news. It’s being replaced with anti-China sentiment, but that’s unsurprising. That’s going to be the new narrative. It’s an act of desperation by a flailing empire.

The truth about Ukraine has started to come out. For example, the Queen of Regime Change, Victoria Nuland, admitted that Russia and Ukraine were close to a deal that would have ended the war. Russia was willing to return to the pre-invasion borders, and hundreds of thousands of lives would have been saved. Instead, the war raged on, and the sorry history prevailed.

In 1994, years before Putin was in power, George Kennan, an American diplomat, believed that NATO expansion to Ukraine would inevitably lead to war with Russia. The Clinton administration was also divided on the idea, with some members threatening to quit if the administration pushed the idea of NATO expansion.

It was, therefore, not a surprise that the Biden administration used the threat of Ukraine’s entry into NATO as a tactic to bait Russia into the war. But it was a bluff. Zelinsky himself said this:

“I requested them [NATO] personally to say directly that we are going to accept you into NATO in a year or two or five, just say it directly and clearly, or just say no,” Zelensky told CNN. “And the response was very clear: you're not going to be a NATO member, but publicly, the doors will remain open.”

The absolute depravity of the West to stoke a war that caused such breathtaking destruction and casualties. Hundreds of thousands of people died because of the West’s attempt to knock Russia out of the picture as a world leader. Ukraine was used as a sacrificial lamb to meet American needs. The lows of the Biden administration will haunt this country for a long time.

Media sites report that the EU is already considering bringing back Russian gas. It would be part of the Ukraine war peace deal. Russian gas is affordable, and its absence has been felt in Europe. However, Politico and Foreign Policy Magazine have reported that the EU never really stopped buying Russian gas in the first place:

“Although Russian fossil fuel exports to the West have decreased, glaring loopholes in the sanctions’ regime persist.” Nowhere are the failings more prominent than with liquified natural gas (LNG). In 2024, the EU imported a record 16.5 million metric tons of LNG from Russia, surpassing the 15.2 million in 2023.

Did the EU sell out their convictions against The Latest Hitler simply for cheap gas? Or were loopholes left in place so the EU could virtue signal while they kept buying Russian gas? Is it possible that the EU was trying to placate the US? It’s entirely possible.

has proposed that the US didn’t want Russia to join NATO because the US bullies the EU without opposition and didn’t want a powerful nation like Russia to push back on them.

There were always logistical problems with the idea that Putin was planning to march through Europe. For starters, Putin knows that even if he wants to conquer Europe, there is a massive military apparatus in his way, including missiles pointing directly at Russia. Putin went into Ukraine with, at the most, 190,000 troops. By comparison, when Hitler invaded Poland, he sent 2.5 million soldiers, and Ukraine is a much larger territory. His goal was to get Ukraine at the negotiating table, which happened, but the deal got sabotaged, as already mentioned.

The US security state extracted all it could from Ukraine and has now left them for dead. It was an ill-advised war on many fronts. Besides the moral consequences of throwing Ukraine to the wolves, Russia has allied itself further with China, and the BRICS alliance continues to grow. Hopefully, the truth about the war, especially its origins, will come out.
