    Jeet Heer Retweeted Glenn Greenwald

    "Some have speculated that Eisenhower's goal isn't to contain communism - that's the pretext - but rather to give Reds breathing space to grow & conquer world. No proof, but US actions in WWII, Yalta, China, Hungary consistent with that." -- John Birch Society, circa 1958.https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1500196362209615875 …

    Some have speculated that the US goal isn't to protect Ukrainians -- that's the pretext -- but rather sacrifice Ukraine by turning it into Syria or Afghanistan where war rages for years and destroys the country, bogging down Russia. No proof, but US actions consistent with that.

        Tangentially, I discovered that Eisenhower's Secretary of Agriculture, Ezra Taft Benson, accepted the Birch Society view that Ike was a pawn (either wittingly or not) of the USSR. Must have made cabinet meetings awkward.pic.twitter.com/QbSO1sSw6N

        It's a distillation of JBS's view of Eisenhower.

        It would be irresponsible not to speculate

        Why do you suppose Glenn uses Fox and Friends-speak with “some have speculated” rather than offering it up as his own speculation?

        Well there is suspicion that Pentagon doesn't want Ukraine to have a conventional war for territory because that can spill over to NATO nations, but instead prefers a resistance which is contained within Ukraine. I don't say these are for nefarious purposes, but Pentagon think.
