 　なるほどね。 リバタリアンでもいろいろあるわけね。 最小限の政府という意味では戦争反対路線なんだろうけど、自由の擁護という意味では、自由を抑圧する独裁者打倒の戦争は正当化されるみたいな感じなのかな。

いずれにせよ、上記の講義は反戦リバタリアンの講義

長すぎるので、拾い読み

In his speech on the 22nd, Putin’s argument about the dangers of Ukraine’s independence went far enough to justify taking over the entire country permanently.

To be perfectly clear, I condemn all of this. 

プーチンのやっていることを全面的に非難するんだけど

Biden’s national security adviser Jake Sullivan’s statements seem to indicate a possible plan to bait Russia into this war to bleed them dry in the Afghan style. Irony is not their strong point. He told CBS News,

アメリカがロシアを戦争に引きずり込んだ、みたいな構図なんだろうね。

 But the most compelling bit of information along these lines came from CBS News’s Margaret Brennan, who wrote on March 1, that,

"Given the durability of the Ukrainian resistance and its long history of pushing Russia back, the U.S. and Western powers do not believe that this will be a short war. The UK foreign secretary estimated it would be a 10-year war. Lawmakers at the Capitol were told Monday it is likely to last 10, 15 or 20 years — and that ultimately, Russia will lose."

ソ連を疲弊させたアフガン戦争のように１０年以上の戦争に引きずり込んでロシアを疲弊させる、みたいな。

As historian Jeff Rogg recently wrote in the Los Angeles Times, declassified CIA documents show that when they backed right wing Stay Behind forces in Ukraine against the Soviets in the 1950s, the stated purpose of the operation was not to liberate Ukraine, but to "bleed" Russia. He quoted a CIA historian who wrote that since the Ukrainians had no chance at victory, "America was in effect encouraging Ukrainians to go to their deaths." We could very well be seeing the beginning of an attempt to do the same thing again

１９５０年代にも、ウクライナを解放するというよりロシアに血をながさせるためにウクライナの右翼をCIAが支援した、と。

 NATO拡大の目的については

Why is the U.S. government taking such risks? It’s the money. As Richard Cummings did such a great job of explaining in his 2007 article "Lockheed Stock and Two Smoking Barrels," the 1990s-era U.S. Committee to Expand NATO was a project of Lockheed Vice-President Bruce Jackson. The whole thing was just a racket for selling jets either directly to the eastern European states, or failing that, to force the American taxpayer to pick up the tab for them.

アメリカの軍事産業振興のため。

主流の論壇からは論争をよぶ講義だろうね。
