To be clear, the evidence is mounting that this is a proxy war deliberately instigated and perpetuated by the US empire with the goal of ousting Putin. Which means that, despite all the narrative window dressing and spin, this war is just more US regime change interventionism.

Proxy war:
Quote Tweet
Pouring billions of dollars worth of weaponry into a foreign nation to be used by CIA-trained fighters with the direct ongoing assistance of US military intelligence is in fact the exact definition of the thing that a proxy war is. That is what those words mean. twitter.com/fodeballertour…

There's nothing "inarticulate" about Biden's rhetoric here: he's admitting in blunt terms that the US has used Ukraine to foment regime change in Russia, and no amount of desperate spin can hide it. This also explains why his admin sabotaged diplomacy pre-invasion and since. twitter.com/tylerpager/sta…

As with Syria, it's very possible it will BECOME (or is already becoming) a proxy war. But that's not what it was at the beginning. Putin unecessarily amassed massive military forces around Ukraine & then chose to invade for non-defensive purposes.
