WE CAN WIN: AMERICA CONFIRMS ITS PROXY WAR AGAINST RUSSIA IN UKRAINE.

ICHEOKU says America's weapons, funds, logistics, military advisers, and most likely some of their unofficial boots on the ground in Ukraine and now Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has confirmed it, that America is indeed fighting Russia in a proxy war Ukraine. Whether it was a slip of the tongue or he intentionally voiced it out so that Russia may know, the Defense Secretary said "we believe that we (America) can win if they (Ukraine) have the right equipment, the right support and we are going to do everything we can and continue to do everything we can to supply them their needs. He also added that America's intention in Ukraine is to weaken Russia to such extent that they will pose no future threat to their neighboring countries or to any other country whatsoever by greatly degrading their capabilities. 

It is a reasonable confirmation of what so many thinking people have always known or at least suspected was the case, judging from all that has been going on pursuant to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Read in another way, it means that the war in Ukraine is America's long planned war of attrition against Russia taking place and it will last as long as America wants it to last. It is no longer within Russia's or Ukraine's hand or control, such that even if Russia were to decide to end hostilities today and wants to withdraw back to Russia, America will insist that they hand Crimea back to Ukraine as a condition precedent to allowing the war to come to an end. 

Therefore we are watching a new America's forever war raging on in Ukraine and it will go on as long as Washington DC wants it. Russia going bankrupt as a result of their unprovoked and premeditated war against Ukraine might also be an added implicit aspiration of Washington DC. America will bleed Russia so much that the USSR experience in Afghanistan might be a child's play compared to what their current misadventure in Ukraine forebodes. It was an avoidable boondoggle which President Vladimir Putin foolishly waded into and now his Russia is mired in a catastrophic war without end.

ICHEOKU used to be a Putin's admirer, thinking that he was smarter than his present action of invading Ukraine. But not anymore, as he thoughtlessly, through the invasion of Ukraine, brought home ants infested firewoods and now lizards have converged within his neighborhood for a feast on ants. One thing is to invite the presence of American military industrial complex to one's country or neighboring country, the other thing is to be able to decide when they should leave, which is often difficult as such a decision is often yanked away from the inviter, and America  usually determine when they have achieved their strategic objective for answering such invite. 

What was President Vladimir Putin thinking when he engaged in Ukraine, fully aware that America was not at present waging any other war anywhere in the world; and that its military industrial complex (MIC) were becoming increasingly restive, itching for another money-minting war from which they can continue profiteering like bandits. So, it was a delightful moment for the MIC when Vladimir Putin threw them an open invitation to come to Ukraine and make some money. 

Now, with the enormous amount of money being spent on Ukraine war effort, over two billion dollars already spent within just the last two months alone, the MIC is once again joyful. They are making so much money in Ukraine that no other American involved war might be as lucrative as the Ukraine adventure by the time the war gets into its fifth year or even 20 years like the Afghanistan longest lasting American war. As the Chief of Joint Chiefs of Staff said, the Ukraine war is going to be a long war that will be measured in years. 

It is apparent that Vladimir Putin is not a student of history nor did his mediocre academic endeavor expose much of America's history of waging wars to him. Otherwise, he would have known that America does not back down and never lost any war, unless those two instances where America eventually beat it, abandoned and scampered away, such as in Vietnam and most recently in Afghanistan, would qualify as "losing a war". America will make the war in Ukraine last as long as it desires. It will out spend, out supply and out arm Russia in Ukraine just to ensure that Russia and their president Vladimir Putin are humiliated with a disgraceful defeat and eventual forced exit from Ukraine. 

This is how the final chapter of the Ukraine war will be written, Russia defeated or forced to make an abrupt exit from Ukraine. It happened once in Afghanistan with the USSR and history is on the cusp of repeating itself in Ukraine with Russia. As was previously mentioned by the Chairman of Joints Chief of Staff, General Miley, and now confirmed by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, America is at war with Russia and the defeat of Russia and a weakened Russia are the two stated America's policy objective for its involvement. Anyway, Putin brought the harm to himself and his Russia and they will pay a hefty price for his miscalculated stupidity. Shame on him.
