I just came here from a comments section from a video praising "hero Trump" for his ...ahem... "efforts to stop the war", with hundreds and hundreds of fools arguing about the effects, and their priorities, and fingers pointing here and there.... but maybe 1 or 2 mentioning the causes of this war which started 30 years ago.
Trump of course, during his first term (2017-2021), did not stop the "marching empire" [systemic expansion], so he was just another POTUS, an imperialist, just like all the others before...
-----------------------
Why is anybody surprised? The USA instigates wars or does not avoid them (even if possible), or lays the foundations for crises it aims to profit from using the divide-and-rule technique in IR. It is also a divide-and-rule Mecca for the ultra-rich who practice it on the domestic tier also.
"Divide and rule" (or "divide and conquer") is a political or strategic strategy used to gain or maintain control over a region of the planet by causing division and fostering internal conflict. The idea is to weaken opponents or rival factions, preventing them from uniting against the DIVIDING power. The strategy is based on the principle that a divided people are easier to manage, control, defeat or destroy. Lies (incl. "lying by omission") is an integral part of the strategy.
Here’s how the strategy typically works:
Creating Divisions: Those in power may intentionally exploit existing differences or create new ones—such as between ethnic groups, social classes, religions, political factions, or other groups within a population. By emphasizing these differences, the leadership makes it harder for these groups to cooperate or form alliances.
Fostering Competition and Distrust: The ruling power might manipulate one group to distrust another, using propaganda, misinformation, or manipulation of resources to create rivalries or tensions.
Maintaining Control: With internal divisions, the groups are less likely to pose a unified threat to the ruling power. Any resistance is weakened by competing priorities, distrust, or fragmentation.
Not every single group or power involved necessarily has to understand their role within the divide-and-rule strategy, which is why it persists eternally.
The effectiveness of divide and rule lies in its ability to prevent the emergence of collective opposition by exploiting or manufacturing internal conflicts, making it a powerful tactic for maintaining control over diverse populations or competitors.

The "divide and rule" strategy gives millions of people the illusion that they are struggling for an own cause, whilst actually depleting their own energy fighting for the causes of other, higher powers...
[see footnote]
Just like "democracy" gives voters the illusion of choice, only to set them up in a collective "divide and rule"-setup, in which influence/TRUE power is funneled overwhelmingly in one direction: upwards.
Just like capitalism, gives advocates the illusion of chance, only to set them up in a collective "divide and rule"-setup, in which wealth is eternally funneled overwhelmingly in one direction: upwards.
Empires use and abuse human beings as...
- walls and barriers
- as proxies for the own gain
- as tools (instruments of power)
- as potential "staging areas" for future own use
- as "extensions" of the own power (or increased "reach" for the imperialist power)
Using other people are "cheap ways" to advance the American Century.
"Cheap" to the tune of 113 BILLION dollars to date, for probably the easiest avoidable war of the century...so far.
"To be clear, aiding Ukraine, giving the money to Ukraine, is the cheapest possible way for the US to enhance its security." - Zanny Minton Beddoes, editor-in-chief of The Economist
Just recently, and one of an entire string of similar such comments exposing the true strategy of power, Gen. Keith Kellogg (Ret.) said it's the "acme of professionalism" to use Ukraine to fight Russia because it "takes a strategic adversary off the table" without "using any US troops."
And then he added, "we can focus" on "our primary adversary, which is China."
China, the default enemy, to avoid Eurasian unity.
Divide and rule.
It's a long game...
Footnote:
The "divide and rule"-setup in any system, on any tier, is successful, because it employs an almost automated multiple hurdle/multiple cut off technique to keep good people "out" of the truly important positions of power. Do you remember Cassidy Hutchinson? She "failed" the test.
She "stumbled" on the very first "hurdle" on the road to true power, which is to remain silent.
...and that, in a nutshell, is how it works.
