I like what I just read on the WATCHING AMERICA WEB SITE : Le Journal de Quebec, Feb. 9 , 2022 :
[ Intimidation: It’s Cheap and It Pays Well
"Why did the American administration feel the need to panic the entire planet about an invasion of Ukraine? Could it be to divert attention from Biden’s domestic policy problems and his growing unpopularity in the polls? To show that he can stand up to Putin?
In recent decades, the United States has repeatedly invaded countries to impose its political will, with far more catastrophic failure than success. Others who are more astute use the threat of invasion to get adversaries to accede to their demands, at least in part. Intimidation is an excellent foreign policy tool. It usually pays well and costs much less than war. In this case, we’ll see if that is true for Putin. "]
