htmlOn December 28, Sam Winter Levi, a doctoral student in political science at Princeton University, published an article on the Rock War, saying that the Ukrainian war was a proxy war.
Although Levi is a doctoral student, he is also an expert in military policy and is the editorial director of the magazine "Informal War Initiative" of the Modern War Institute of West Point Military Academy. He said that although Biden said that he would not fight a war against Russia in Ukraine, it is talking about a direct military confrontation between the United States and Russia. Since the outbreak of the war, Western countries have provided Ukraine with a total of more than 17,000 anti-tank weapons and thousands of air defense missiles, pledging to continue to provide billions of dollars in military assistance. In fact, the United States and its European allies have been trapped in a full-scale proxy war with Russia.
Agent war is nothing new. Former US President Eisenhower once said in 1955 that agent war represents "the cheapest insurance in the world." Although the agent war is dirty, it is the best way for the United States to fight against Russia. In Ukraine, if the United States directly engages in war with the Russian army, the scale and intensity of the war will be uncontrollable, and it is even likely that it will escalate all the way to nuclear war . So Americans can only honestly admit that all this happened in Ukraine was a proxy war.
On the one hand, US military researchers admit that agent war is indeed very dirty, but on the other hand, it must try to reduce its harm as much as possible. There is a concept in the Western language environment called necessary evil, that is, if something is wrong, it violates morality and public order and good customs, but in order to meet your own interests, you still have to do it. This is a moral concept that is as despicable as it is, but among the elite group in the United States, there is an increasing market. This is because the United States is such a powerful empire. Even if he does many evil deeds, no one can punish him. He can only watch the United States benefit from it.
It is precisely because agent wars are so useful that the United States tends to use agents not only in Ukraine, but also in many regional conflicts. Spend some money, support some weapons, and sometimes make a fortune. There are no casualties in the American people. It is completely in line with the expectations of the American people and has many benefits. Therefore, after the Cold War, , the current government of Iraq, , and the former government of Afghanistan, was the agent of the United States. There are more agents who have not yet been put into the battlefield. Almost every allies of NATO , as well as Japan, South Korea, Australia, etc., can be regarded as the war agents of the United States.
With such benefits when fighting with agents, the United States should be invincible in the world, right? However, the reality is not very powerful. Although the agents are holding American money and American guns, they are not completely obedient puppets, and some are very thoughtful. The Iraqi government forces are in this state to a large extent. Although they were founded by the US government after destroying the Saddam regime and received countless US aid and US arms, when the United States' ability to control Iraq declined, the Iraqi government and government forces began to consider the interests of their own country and the group and actively contacted China and Russia, which of course made the United States very unhappy. But judging from the current situation, Americans have no choice but to come up with anything.
It should be said that the Iraqi government forces are quite rational. Other agents supported by the United States have very bad records on the issue of humanitarian . For example, the South Korean army and the South Vietnamese government army have records of mass murder of civilians. Of course, the American agent that we Chinese are most familiar with is the Chiang Kai-shek regime. What they did to the Chinese people are recorded in detail in the history of the Chinese revolution, so I won’t say much here.
It is precisely because agents often lose their human nature and are unpopular that the agent wars hosted by the United States end up in almost all failures.This Ukrainian war cannot escape the same historical laws. The Ukrainian government not only mingled with the neo-Nazis, but did not care about the security and welfare of its own people at all. Even when the battle was at its most intense, it treated the people as human shields to prevent the Russian army from occupying Mariupol and Kharkov .
Someone once said, why can’t Americans find good people to act as their agents? The conclusion is that integrity, kindness, loving the people, integrity, and courage, these qualities can only appear in patriots. Those who are willing to sell their souls to the devil cannot do anything. They are unpopular and fail, which is the inevitable ending. Therefore, no matter how important American politics and academics regard their agent, the current Ukrainian government, cannot change the outcome of a comprehensive failure.
