The US Proxy War Against Russia in Ukraine: No More Games, No More Delusions
The US Proxy War Against Russia: Most of the People in the US After 4 years Still Don’t Understand It!
Update, December, 2025
I originally wrote this article on my blog in 2022. I posted it on substack in December, 2024. It has documentary material going back to 2014, when the regime that the US installed was waging war on the people of Eastern Ukraine. It shows actual war footage of attacks on people in Eastern Ukraine. It shows the President of Ukraine at that time, Poroshenko, promising violence and suffering to the people in Eastern Ukraine. It shows a Ukraine politician recommending that an atomic bomb be dropped on them.
Yet here we are, in late 2025, and Sam Seder, a popular Youtuber on The Majority Report having on people in Kiev complaining about Russian attacks. He’s sitting a comfortable studio. Did he complain to Poroshenko to please stop bombing civilians in the Donbass for 8 years? Not bloody likely.
Yet, even now, intelligent people, deprived of truth by the perfidious US successive administrations, Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump again, keep believing their lying media.
For that reason I am reposting this article, first created in 2022, based on my own research and on the scene investigation going back to 2013 and my trip to Crimea in 2015 and again in 2024.
I urge you to read it through, watch the videos and most important SHARE IT with your friends and family members, who have ZERO understanding of the Ukraine crisis. Thank you!
People are in a trance, believing what they are told, walking towards WWIII, and nuclear war.
Here is an updated version:
I started this blog to have a record of my travels in Asia, starting in Thailand, then visiting Myanmar, Laos, China, India, Singapore. In 2015, I stopped traveling so much, but did get to Russia, which I have had interest in, due to ancestral ties, as well as the role that the Soviet Union played in world history, and now Russia.
In 2013, I started noticing events unfolding in Russia and especially in its former borderland area, which in Russian is called The Ukraine, or The Borderland. One of the first websites I found that talked about Russia was www.thesaker.is, which was run Andre Raevsky, aka “The Saker”, born in Switzerland, the son of a Dutch father and Russian mother. After a series of twists and turns, he ended up in the US.
He started his blog in 2007, as therapeutic exercise, so to speak. I discovered him in 2013, as the situation/crisis in Ukraine started to heat up, which he was starting to write about. Eventually, he felt compelled to stop publishing due to his precarious state as a non US citizen living in the US.
Hence his byline from his blog: Stop the Empire’s war on Russia
The Nazi Coup in Ukraine, 2013-2015
In 2013, disturbances broke out in the capital of Ukraine, Kiev, and by February 2014, it was turning seriously violent. What’s more, an audio tape of Victoria Nuland, a US State Department official and the US Ambassador surfaced in which it was obvious that they were planning a coup against the democratically elected government and President. Nuland, discussing the plan to proceed regardless of what the European Union wanted, notably said, “F*ck the EU!”
And she asked Joe Biden, Obama’s point man for the ‘atta boy’. So for those of you think that Russia invaded Ukraine ‘unprovoked’, and the US, and especially Joe Biden had nothing to do with the current conflict in Ukraine, Biden had everything to do with Ukraine, including using his son to enrich himself while preparing for a war with Russia.
This was so outrageous that naive little me thought for sure that even Obama, whom I never trusted anyway, would fire her, at least for her unprofessional language. Instead, the coup happened, the President, Yanukovych, had to flee for his life, and the strong-armed thugs who enforced the coup, took over the Ukrainian Parliament, forced an illegal impeachment, and installed their own government, which was backed by such groups as the Azov Battalion, the Right Sector, Svoboda Party, and so on, all of whom had a visceral hatred for anything Russian.
The Russian language was outlawed, and soon there were pogroms, or violent ethnic riots against Russian friendly government officials, and any opponents. It reached the point in the mostly Russian city of Odessa, on May 2, 2014, a demonstration by Russian speaking opponents of the coup was not simply disrupted, but the demonstrators, who had taken refuge in the Labor Union building, were attacked, the building burned, with at least 42 people burned alive, or beaten or shot to death. To this date, no one has been prosecuted for it. Other attacks occurred throughout Ukraine, and hundreds were injured or killed.
What You Weren’t Told about Ukraine
In 2014, Politician, Petro Poroshenko’s Plans for Opponents of Biden’s Coup
The Western MSM buried this war for 8 years. But tells you it started with Russia’s ‘invasion’ of Ukraine. Not with Biden’s coup, or mass bombing, shelling and terrorizing of people in Eastern Ukraine since 2014.
Meanwhile, three regions of Russian speakers, the peninsula of Crimea, and two other areas, surrounding the cities of Lugansk and Donetsk were seriously threatened.
In the case of Crimea, the people who lived there held a referendum, to vote to leave Ukraine, and to request to rejoin Russia. Crimea had been part of Russia since 1783, and only switched to the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1954, a seemingly innocuous administrative act which had momentous consequences.
Crimea and specifically Sevastopol has major cultural and historical significance for Russia. It’s not just ‘any other place’. During WWII, or as the Russians call The Great Patriotic War, the Nazis invaded because the Soviets were attacking Romanian oil assets. The Soviets clung tenaciously to Crimea and especially to Sevastopol, the seaport. A movie was made about it, where Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of FDR made friends with Lyudmilla Pavlichenko, a girl who became a sniper. Woody Guthrie the American folk singer, sang a song about her.
NATO had plans in place to replace Russia’s naval base, leased from Ukraine post USSR. Imagine Russia putting military facilities in Cuba for example…Oh the US in 1962 planned to take out that base as an extreme threat to the US. But it’s outraged when Russia made sure that NATO would not do the same thing in Ukraine. But just remember….the war is ‘Russian aggression’.
Here’s the trailer to the movie which I recommend…note the theme song, which is now used as background for the video about the Donbass defenders.

The Donetsk and the Lugansk People’s Republics declared independence. Indeed, with constant threats from Russia-hating gangs chanting “Hang Moskals (the derogatory equivalent of ‘nig*er’), they needed to physically defend themselves, not to mention to oppose the clearly undemocratic regime change, engineered by the US. As Obama arrogantly put it, “We brokered a transition”….as if events 5000 miles for US borders are any of the USA’s business.
One of the main Ukrainian politicians at the time, the so-called “Gas Queen” Yulia Timoshenko, said that ethnic Russians should be cleared out of the Donbass, that area containing Lugansk and Donetsk, with atomic weapons. These are not nice people. In 2014, serious attacks happened in the Donbass region.
Many Ukrainian army soldiers who came from this area, coalesced to defend themselves and their families, whom the Kiev regime called “terrorists”.
This video, made in 2015, shows scenes of actual fighting and the agony of innocent civilians victimized by Kiev. So please, stop thinking that the war broke out only in February, 2022.
If you think like that, you’re 8 years too late, and obviously just didn’t bother pay to attention.
The Minsk Agreements
One of the primary characteristics of the Kiev regime is its habitual lying. It claimed that the Russian military had invaded Ukraine in 2014. This is blatantly and provably untrue. There is no evidence of Russian military going into Ukraine, contrary to the lies of the Kiev regime. It is true that Russian volunteers unaffiliated with Moscow came to the Donbass people, who were under serious attack by the illegal Nazi backed coup regime. But the fighting and dying was done mostly by locals, many of whom had no military experience at all. Local members of the Ukrainian military deserted and got equipment from local armories. I personally met a woman soldier in 2015, who had returned to Crimea, and told me about her anticipating the coup, and defection to Crimea to defend it.
The Donbass defenders from the Donetsk and Lugansk regions achieved partial success. They lost the city of Slaviansk and much of the formal territory of those two regions, or Oblasts, but also inflicted heavy damage to the Kiev forces, resulting in an attempted truce, and a way forward, in order to resolve what was at that point considered a civil war. The Minsk Agreements of late 2014 and 2015 were supposed to allow for negotiations between Kiev and the breakaway regions, allow for regional autonomy within the borders of Ukraine.
An Ongoing Horror Show
The presence of Russian troops in Crimea, especially in the Russian held seaport city of Sevastopol, resulted in the peaceful change from Ukraine to Russian control. Ukraine soldiers were given the choice of switching to Russia’s military with full rank or peaceful withdrawal, to prevent bloodshed. Fortunately, there was no blood shed at all over Crimea.
However, violence, primarily shelling of mainly civilian areas of Donbass continued all during that time with varying degrees of intensity. Until recently, the provocative shelling by Kiev was met with restraint by the Donbass forces, whose soldiers were restricted from retaliating, in order to prevent a flareup from getting out of control. By 2021, though, it became more and more obvious that serious trouble was brewing.
Kiev stationed over 100,000 troops right near the contact line, and the newly elected President Zelensky made more and more openly hostile statements, such as disavowing the Minsk Agreements and demanding the return of Crimea. Which clearly, Crimean people totally opposed. If you were threatened by people who clearly hate you, and plan to attack your city or state, how would you feel?
By December 2021, in the face of increasingly threatening moves by the US and NATO, Russia proposed a series of steps to guarantee mutual security for Russia, the US and NATO. The US and NATO summarily and imperiously rejected them.
Starting in February, the number of shells being launched by the Kiev regime went from 40/day to as many as 1,400 a day.
Pleading to Prevent a Massacre
Russia had responded to an earlier buildup on the border of the Donbass with a buildup of its own, which apparently spooked the West, and things cooled down temporarily. But with Zelensky’s renewed calls to solve the situation violently, and with his announcement to develop nuclear weapons in violation of previous agreements, the Russian Parliament, or Duma, passed a resolution to support the people of the Donbass.
The position held by the Kremlin and President Putin, was that the integrity of the Ukraine should remain, although the Lugansk and Donetsk regions would have autonomy and guarantees to protect the Russian language. Russia at that point did not recognize them as independent of Ukraine. This was the basis of the Minsk Agreements.
However, recently, President Poroshenko, who was President at the time, and the Ukrainian signer of the Minsk Agreement stated that Kiev NEVER INTENDED TO FULFILL THE MINSK AGREEMENTS. They only signed them to buy time to rebuild the Ukrainian military to invade later.
Because of the increasingly threatening moves by Kiev and the dramatic increase in shelling on civilian areas, Putin held a conference with his Security Council in February, 2022. At that point the consensus was that Russia should recognize them as two independent countries. That allowed Russia to implement the ‘Responsibility to Protect’ Doctrine that the West has invoked when it has sent troops to other countries.
The Nuclear Option
After the USSR disbanded, Ukraine agreed to surrender its arsenal of nuclear weapons, but when Zelensky said that it was reneging on that agreement, this was a huge red flag–or red line–for Russia. The fact that Ukraine has several large nuclear power plants that certainly have materials capable of being made into nuclear weapons.
“This morning [18 March 2014] there was a meeting of the heads of the factions, and I spoke with Victor. Vitya says: what now to the eight million Russians who remained in Ukraine? They’re outcasts!” He says. “Damn, they should be shot from atomic weapons,” Tymoshenko immediately responds.”

So, suppose Mexico had a violent coup, and a faction decided to ‘Get rid of the Gringos’ with nuclear weapons, what would the US do? Well, we can point to when the US slandered Iraq with a warning of a ‘mushroom cloud’ over WMD’s that didn’t exist.
So let’s get real. how would the USA respond in the event of a country right next door, with lots of nuclear materials, and high ranking politicians advocating the use of atomic weapons on 8 million people. What would the US do?
Massive Increase in Shelling
The OSCE is a supposedly independent monitoring group which, however, has shared a building with the notorious Azov battalion. Don’t worry about the Azov battalion, they’re not Nazis anymore because they recently removed Nazi insignia from their uniforms….a bad fashion statement you might say. Or bad PR.
In any case, the OSCE reported a sharp increase in shelling in the Donbass. And in the face of this, many people fled to Russia to avoid getting shelled.
All Putin’s Fault
But it’s all Russia’s fault. So the US stages a violent coup, which over the ensuing 8 years results in the killing of at least 14,000 people, numerous homes destroyed. (I myself met a family of refugees in Sevastopol in 2015 whose house was bombed). And there has been a massive buildup of NATO trained Ukraine troops and equipment.
At this point, can you see how you’re being set up? Set up for a war with Russia? With a country that was invaded by the West in 1812 under Napoleon, in 1914 by Germany, again by 14 countries who wanted to, in Winston Churchill’s words, “strangle Bolshevism in its cradle” after the Russian Revolution of November 1917. And then, equipped and financed by the West, invaded again in 1941 by Nazi Germany and its allies, such as Hungary, Romania, Italy as well as various fascist volunteers from Spain, France, Netherlands, etc.
The result was the loss of 27 million Soviet people, and a third of their country utterly decimated. There is no comparison with the US, which experienced a comparative pin prick at Pearl Harbor, and less than 500,000 dead. Put yourself in Russia’s shoes….15% of your people killed on a war on your land.
The American People Have NO IDEA what real war entails. It’s not a Hollywood Movie.
Replay of June, 1941
Following the end of the USSR, the Warsaw Pact was dissolved, that is, the Soviet Union itself as well as countries in the Soviet sphere of influence. NATO, presumably, had no more reason to exist since it no longer had an adversary. Russia, which succeeded the Soviet Union, drastically cut its military budget, essentially unilaterally disarmed and withdrew all its troops from it bases in Eastern Europe.
But NATO didn’t. It continued expanding up until now, with former Warsaw Pact and even former Soviet Republics, such as the Baltic States, joining NATO and espousing virulent Russophobia. From a defense point of view, Russia is in almost the same position now, surrounded by hostile countries, who discriminate against their Russian speaking populations. This all occurred in violation of agreements made at the so-called end of the Cold War…..for Russia it did end. But not for the US and NATO.
Several countries such as Turkey, Germany and soon, Poland and Romania will have nuclear weapons on their territory, minutes away from Moscow, breaking the agreement reached following the Cuban Missile Crisis.
This is where the world is now. The Bulletin of Atomic Scientists, which monitors the danger of Armageddon, shows its “Doomsday Clock” at the closest its ever been–90 Seconds to Midnight. The US maintains its unconditional right to use nuclear weapons offensively in a ‘First Strike’.
And what do the media tell you is really important? Hollywood celebrity gossip.
Educate Yourself about This US Proxy War Against Russia
There are many resources, both Western as well as Russian, that counteract the narrative that marches the sleeping public off to war, against both Russia and China.
Here are two films that are a ‘must see’ for Americans. Please note what the US made film says about Ukraine. Watch it, learn and see for yourself. See what Russia has had to go through, and compare that to any travails we in the US have had to suffer.
The first is The Battle of Russia, made in 1943 in the US. This was a time when the US had its priorities straight. Getting rid of Nazis.
The second film is quite recent, made by a Russian filmmaker. So, if your government has plans to nuke Russia, do you have the courtesy to at least hear a Russian point of view?
Is Nuclear War Possible?
The answer to that is “yes”. In earlier years, there was a peace movement that was not taken in by government propaganda, but since 1980’s anti-nuclear movement, which resulted in a major arms control treaty, the INF Treaty, (unilaterally cancelled by Trump), where is the outcry for some sanity, and opposition to the increaingly out of control US and NATO military expansion and aggression?
