Ukrainian forces have likely suffered desertions in recent weeks

ゼレンスキー氏、南部オデーサ州訪問…英国防省「ウクライナ軍が兵士脱走に苦しんでいる可能性」


 desertion the act of leaving the armed forces without permission:

最近ではウクライナの屈強な男性兵士たちも、脱走しているわけかあ。



これは「代理戦争」の定義を明確にしないと、なんともなあ。

代理戦争には




 They’re not, experts say. At least, not yet. There’s no ironclad definition of a proxy war, but in essence it’s when a powerful state uses a foreign military force — it can be another country’s military, but can also be a militia or warlord — to achieve its own battlefield aims without directly waging war itself. Some definitions say the powerful state must also instigate the fighting, but that’s not universally accepted.

The two most important concepts here are the purpose, and the avoidance of direct involvement in the fighting. One reason the “proxy war” doesn’t apply here is the core U.S. objective is helping Ukraine achieve a goal it set for itself: To fend off the expanded Russian invasion.


Edging closer
But both he and Naimark acknowledged The Daily 202’s argument that Austin’s comment about a “weakened” Russia suggested U.S. interests had escalated from simply helping Ukraine achieve its own battlefield aims to getting something seen as geopolitically desirable in Washington — edging in the direction of being a proxy war.

 戦闘をけしかけることが必須、という人たちもいるが、それは普遍的な定義ではない、と。

代理戦争であるために必要なのは

１）直接介入がないこと　２）目的が当事国の範囲内であること

が必要。 

領土復活がウクライナの目的の範囲内だから、代理戦争とはいえないが、「ロシアの弱体化」まで目的となると成ると・・代理戦争といわれかねなくなってくる、と。





On the surface of things, it appears that Russia is at war with Ukraine. But Russian president Vladimir Putin is saying that in actuality it is the United States that is warring against Russia and is simply using Ukraine as a proxy to conduct that war. Putin, therefore, is also saying that given that the United States is waging war against Russia, the possibility of nuclear war continues to rise with each passing day.

Contrary to popular pronouncements, the war between Russia and Ukraine is not about freedom but rather about the U.S. desire to absorb Ukraine into NATO, an old Cold War dinosaur that could have — and should have — gone out of existence when the Soviet Union voluntarily dismantled.

Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, U.S. officials, from President Biden on down, have made several Freudian slips regarding the conflict, such as removing Putin from power, trying Putin as a war criminal, weakening and downgrading Russia’s military especially by killing large numbers of Russian troops, destroying the Russian economy, and impoverishing and possibly even killing the Russian people with an extreme set of economic sanctions. 

プーチンはウクライナ戦争はアメリカの代理戦争とみている。 

ウクライナ戦争は、ウクライナの自由のための戦争ではなくて、ウクライナをNATOに加入させるかどうかの戦争なんだ、と。




The War is Now a Proxy War

Almost immediately, Zelensky began asking for Western assistance, effectively making the conflict into a proxy war between the West and Russia. Indeed, Zelensky marketed the Ukrainian war effort in those terms explicitly. He spoke of Ukraine as the forward edge of Europe, defending it against wider Russian aggression.

ゼレンスキーさんも、ウクライナは、ロシアの欧州への進撃に対する最前線で戦っているのだ、と。



But what is a proxy war, really? It means that Russian troops are fighting Ukrainian soldiers that are intermingled with western “advisors” and most likely US and European special forces, not to mention US intelligence operatives utilizing all the information gathering technology at the disposal of the Department of Defense. In other words, Russian soldiers are being killed by Western assets. 
French journalist and Le Figaro senior international correspondent Georges Malbrunot came back from Ukraine with revelations that Americans are “directly in charge” of the war on the ground. 

Citing a French intelligence source, Malbrunot also tweeted that British SAS units “have been present in Ukraine since the beginning of the war, as were the American Deltas.”

英米はウクライナ戦争で、武器、情報を提供し、また、指揮までしているのだ、と。 

The U.S. proxy war in Ukraine

By John Bellamy Foster (Posted Apr 09, 2022)


 Bill Clinton in his 1996 election campaign made the enlargement of NATO part of his platform. Washington started to implement that in 1997, eventually adding 15 additional countries to NATO doubling its size and creating a 30-nation Atlantic Alliance targeting Russia, while also giving NATO a more global interventionist role, as in Yugoslavia, Syria, and Libya.


But the goal was the Ukraine. Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was the most important strategist of all of this and had been Jimmy Carter’s national security advisor said in his 1997 Grand Chessboard that Ukraine was the “geopolitical pivot,” particularly in the West, which if it were brought into NATO and under Western control, would weaken Russia so much that it could be tethered, if not dismembered. This has been the goal all along and U.S. strategic planners and Washington officials, along with the NATO allies, have stated over and over that they wanted to bring the Ukraine into NATO.


ウクライナを目標にしたNATO拡大、ロシア弱体化政策はクリントンのときから始まっており、ウクライナ戦争はその一環なんだ、と。
