There’s no American #anti-war movement in the #Vietnam War, #Syrian War or #Afghan War sense of the term. That’s because there is a genuine US strategic interest at stake in fighting #Russia to the last Ukrainian, and further. No comparable strategic stake existed in the earlier wars.

The stake in the war against Russia is the preservation of the US occupation of #Germany and the empire in #Europe and the #UK, together with the credibility of US weapons which must be sold worldwide at prices to match their reputations in combat. Losing the war on the Ukrainian battlefield and in the sanctions war against Russia means a worldwide defeat for the US, its military power, its commercial and financial dominance, along with its command-and-control systems, subsidiaries, and retainers.
