I wake up each morning with a glint in my eye, Sniffin' the wind for some enemies to fry, From Baghdad to Tripoli, I cheer every war plan From Kyiv to Tehran, I’m war's number one fan. Game on! Game on! That's my war song! Peace talks are pointless. Just bring fighting on! War is my sport, my righteous play, The world is my fighting board — let's fire away! I don't need much reason, just give me a name— “Axis of Evil”? I’m stokin’ the flame! Diplomacy is dead, I just can't pretend, I'd rather arm rebels and call them my friends. Game on! Game on! I’m locked and I’m drawn! Light up the sky with a Tomahawk dawn! Send in some troops, roll out some tanks, And I’ll tweet my applause to the warmongring ranks! I flew into Kyiv with Johnny and Klob’, Saluted some Nazis — just part of the job. Said, “Crimea’s yours, just wait and see, America’s backing your victory spree!” Israel bombs Tehran? Well, ain't that grand! I tweet “Game on!” with a whiskey in hand. They say war’s no game — how quaint, how trite! Well, I keep score by megaton might. Game on! Game on! That's my war song! Why dawdle in talks when you can dispatch with bombs? Give me a crisis, a coup, a scare — I’ll be right there, with bombs in the air! Game on … forever and always… God bless America’s firepower.
Senior U.S. diplomats, journalists, academics and Secretaries of Defense say:
The U.S. provoked Russia in Ukraine
For example, Jack Matlock (former U.S. Ambassador to the USSR under Ronald Reagan) said in a 2024 interview: "Why don’t we understand that trying to remove Ukraine from Russian influence and put military bases there would be, in their case, absolutely unacceptable and worthy of defense?" Matlock said the U.S. backed the 2014 coup, and "Obviously, to any Russian leader, not just Vladimir Putin, that would have been an absolutely impossible, hostile act, which they had to react to. And in particular, they were not going to lose their naval base in Crimea." Finally, Matlock said the Ukrainians are "dominated in their thinking by neo-Nazis — we tend to ignore that, or when Putin points it out, we say he’s lying. He’s not lying."
U.S. hypocrisy is absolutely stunning, since it invaded and bombed countries all over the world (e.g., Iraq) for flimsy reasons, often allying with Muslim extremists (e.g., Afghanistan in 80s, Serbia, Libya, and Syria). The U.S. occupies 1/3 of Syria (the parts with oil), with help from its proxy army, the Syrian Defense Forces. Russia's invasion was along its borders, in response to CIA and NATO meddling in a country with deep historical, linguistic, and cultural ties to Russia. U.S. meddling included "engineering" the 2014 coup, according to Chas. W. Freeman, former U.S. Ambassador to Saudi Arabia and Lifetime Director of the Atlantic Council. Crimea had voted multiple times for closer ties to Russia. The U.S. exploited divisions in Ukraine between pro-Western and pro-Russian provinces and groups to provoke the war. RAND Corporation recommended arming Ukraine as the best way to "weaken and overextend" Russia and predicted it would result in a war. Anti-Russian, far-right militias armed by the U.S. were attacking Russian speakers in the east. Before the 2022 invasion, the militias increased their bombings.
