ERIC ZUESSE—Contrary to U.S.-and-allied propagandists, that war in Ukraine wasn’t started on 24 February 2022 when Russia invaded Ukraine, but back in February 2014 when U.S. President Barack Obama’s Administration had started by no later than June of 2011 to plan, and by no later than 1 March 2013 inside the U.S.’s Ukrainian Embassy to execute the plan, and then on 20 February 2014 to culminate the U.S. coup that overthrew and replaced Ukraine’s democratically elected neutralist President, and replaced him and his Government with the U.S. selected leaders of the new, and rabidly Russia-hating, U.S.-controlled, Ukrainian regime.

ANDREI MARTYANOV—I answered this question many years ago and continue to answer it ad nauseam. The answer is that the US military is the one who does the dying for the American political circus populated by ignoramuses, chickenhawks and cowards, who never bear responsibility for their words and actions. This, plus the US military deals with tangibles–personnel, hardware, technology–some of it very advanced–and they have to rely on a more realistic view of the outside world and, especially, key enemies. Such as Russia. Most American politicians, media personalities and “intellectuals” are BSers with zero applicable skills in any meaningful field of human activity. That’s the answer.

The mission of such drones is to collect battlefield intelligence which is then passed on to Ukraine, a glaring and dangerous form of intervention that makes the US a co-belligerent.
