Based on your Wikipedia sources, it is clear this new Cold War you refer is one that has been instigated by the US empire to keep its non-vassal states under its indirect control through various means.

However, what is even more clear is the US imperial proxy war against Russia via Ukraine instigated by the US empire through which everyone else including the Trump administration appears to recognize except you.

could someone please translate that to english???

I'm starting to suspect I'm trying to converse with an AI Bot that was programmed by Chinese high schoolers randomly using an English thesaurus.

Seeing how AI is used to take and synthesize large amounts of information efficiently, I take your post as a compliment.   

However, I admit that I am not as good as AI since you still fail to acknowledge that the anti-neocon, anti-imperialist fact that Ukraine's war with Russia is a proxy war instigated, managed, and still funded by the US empire.

The Russian leader has long questioned Ukraine's right to exist, claiming that
"modern Ukraine was entirely created by Russia" after the communist revolution
in 1917.

In a long-winded 2021 essay he even suggested "Russians and Ukrainians
were one people" dating back to the late 9th Century. Last year he told US TV
talk show host Tucker Carlson that Ukraine was an "artificial state".

Those comments have led many to believe that the goal of the invasion was
in effect to erase the state of Ukraine.

So, if that describes you -- seeing US imperialism and proxy wars in every national security story you read, then yes -- you are probably an AI. Emphasis on the "A", and not so much on the "I".

Why did Putin's Russia invade Ukraine?

Based on your previous comment,

"You need to get past the specter of the Cold War ..."

you seem to have silently changed your opinion by acknowledging that a Cold War does indeed exist today. 

You can't accuse the US of starting the Second Cold War without admitting there is one.

Like they say in congressional hearings when a witness is caught in a fabrication: "Would you care to amend your previous statement?"

Personal insults...

Is that how low you are stooping to hide your refusal to recognize the US empire's proxy war against Russia via Ukraine?

If I recall correctly, this thread is about the US empire's proxy war against Russia via Ukraine.

If you wish to hear my response to the "new" or "second" Cold War that you refer, start another thread and I would be delighted to quench your curiosity.

 

Next you'll be whining that I'm not using your preferred jackass pronouns:

Well, my feelings were a little hurt since you have yet to use not pronouns, but my preferred adjectives: tall, dark, and handsome. 

This thread is about Russia vs. Ukraine -- all you have to do is read the title.  YOU made it about your US proxy war diatribe.

News Flash: the Ukraine-Russia War is a proxy war started by the US empire against Russia via Ukraine.

It is you who refuses to acknowledge pretty much what everyone else including the Trump administration understands regardless of how you feel about the situation.
