West Desperately Deflects as Ukraine's ISIS Gambit Backfires

Simplicius' conclusion:

The U.S. and friends really, really, really want you to know it wasn’t Ukraine who did the Moscow attacks, it was “ISIS”. Anyone who has even a functionally adult understanding of how the world works will innately comprehend that Ukraine is behind the attack. Of course, it’s possible it was one of its sponsors, the CIA or MI6—but the fact that the CIA claimed to have warned Russia of an impending terror action seems to imply to me that Ukraine had gone rogue, and even the U.S. was not standing with their gravely overreaching gambits.

It was just made known that the U.S. ‘warned’ Ukraine to stop provoking Russia by striking its energy facilities, remember? The U.S. has clearly diverged with its little pitbull on how to proceed further, as Biden’s admin is becoming averse to the increasing risks of poking the nuclear Bear.

Of course, it's of no consequence that the US warned Russia of an attack (on the wrong date, unfortunately). The real question is one of whether or not the US will offer unconditional support for every rogue element its shadow government supports with material aid. There's some history to say "yes" in this regard, and so for instance you have the US bickering with Israel while its Special Forces plan out genocide in Gaza, while terror attacks on the West Bank escalate, and while the war with Hezbollah heats up.

When you have a multi-player game, and players on the same side disagree on whether or not to escalate, then one possible outcome will be the escalation of all players. Here we should remember how World War I began.

The Britannica World War I page

World War I began as a dispute between Austria-Hungary and Serbia. Then it spread to Russia:

War was in fact declared on July 28, and Austro-Hungarian artillery began to bombard Belgrade the next day. Russia then ordered partial mobilization against Austria-Hungary, and on July 30, when Austria-Hungary was riposting conventionally with an order of mobilization on its Russian frontier, Russia ordered general mobilization.

I guess it could have stopped there, and there was some general sentiment that it should do such a thing throughout Europe. But then:

Germany, which since July 28 had still been hoping, in disregard of earlier warning hints from Great Britain, that Austria-Hungary’s war against Serbia could be “localized” to the Balkans, was now disillusioned insofar as eastern Europe was concerned. On July 31 Germany sent a 24-hour ultimatum requiring Russia to halt its mobilization and an 18-hour ultimatum requiring France to promise neutrality in the event of war between Russia and Germany.

Both Russia and France predictably ignored these demands. On August 1 Germany ordered general mobilization and declared war against Russia, and France likewise ordered general mobilization. The next day Germany sent troops into Luxembourg and demanded from Belgium free passage for German troops across its neutral territory. On August 3 Germany declared war against France.

In the night of August 3–4 German forces invaded Belgium. Thereupon, Great Britain, which had no concern with Serbia and no express obligation to fight either for Russia or for France but was expressly committed to defend Belgium, on August 4 declared war against Germany.

So, then, 40 million deaths later (not counting the 50 million or so that died of the H1N1 epidemic at the end of the war), the stage was set for World War II, twenty years later.

But, you know, vote for Biden, or something.
