The United States of America is at war with Russia. There is not
much point in using terms such as proxy war to describe the
situation. If a belligerent in a war is acting as a proxy for
another power and that power is not engaged directly in the war,
the term can be useful. But when the power, for which the proxy
engages in the war, is directly involved in the war itself, then it
is a co-belligerent, a party to the war directly, not simply by
proxy.
The issue is whether each state is pursuing its own interests
and has its own independent means of doing so, or whether the
interests and forces of the allied powers are subordinate to the
interests and forces of a leader. In such a case, the enemy being
attacked can regard all its opponents as a single entity.
In this regard, Clausewitz said that, if you can vanquish all
your enemies by defeating one of them, that defeat must be the main
objective of the war. In this one enemy, we strike at the centre of
gravity of the entire conflict.
If we analyse the war in the Ukraine theatre of operations in
these terms, it becomes clear that the Ukrainian military forces
are in fact forces of the United States of America. They have been
created, armed, trained, supplied, financed, and are directed and
commanded by the Americans, for American interests. The government
for whom they nominally fight is a puppet state, installed in power
by the United States and its NATO allies in a coup detat in 2014.
It has no independent interests outside of American ones, and no
control over the war or the forces nominally under its command.
The United States of America is the leader of a hostile military
alliance, the purpose of which, since its inception, has been to
isolate, threaten, attack and destroy Russia, has conspired with
its alliance for years to achieve this end, has spent vast
resources to prepare the attack, and has, with malice and
determination, sabotaged any proposals for peace. It insists on
war. It is the centre of gravity of the entire conflict.
The American government claims that it is not engaged even in a
proxy war with Russia, that they are merely assisting an
independent nation suffering aggression from another, that this
does not put them at war with Russia, a war which, they claim, they
are trying to avoid despite their actions and daily propaganda.
But, like the British, and the rest, the truth is the United
States of America is a party to the war directly, according to all
accepted criteria under international law. It supplies money to
conduct the war, tanks, armoured vehicles, aircraft, arms,
ammunition, military provisions and other war materials, engages
its own military forc...
