Repeating ’70s Strategy of Grand Chess-Master Brzezinski: Biden Appears to Have Induced Russian Invasion of Ukraine to Bankrupt Russia’s Economy and Advance Regime Change

Jimmy Carter’s National Security Council adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski famously bragged about having induced a Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in December 1979 by supporting Islamic fundamentalists with the goal of “giving the Soviets their Vietnam.” The collateral damage of the war—the destruction of Afghanistan and the growth of al-Qaeda—was inconsequential to the “grand chess-master", however.

Brzezinski died in May 2017, but his spirit lives on in the Biden administration which appears to have followed his blueprint, substituting Afghanistan with Ukraine. Its strategy appears to have been to induce a Russian invasion of Ukraine to bog Russia down into a quagmire while crippling its economy through sanctions that hold the prospect of bringing Vladimir Putin down.

The U.S. media leaves the impression that Putin invaded Ukraine based on his diabolical whims, leaving out the entire back story. Future historians will recognize that the U.S. provoked the current war by:

Refusing to abide by Putin’s legitimate demand that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) not be expanded to Ukraine or anywhere further to Russia’s border—going against a promise made in 1990 by U.S. Secretary of State James A. Baker that NATO would not expand “one inch eastward.”

Supporting the Maidan Coup and Ukraine’s War on Eastern Ukraine.

Supporting Ukraine as it violated the Minsk peace ceasefire protocols.

The successful provocation of the Russian Bear allowed the US to legitimately impose sanctions. The purpose behind the sanctions was made explicit in a 2019 report issued by the Rand Corporation, entitled “Overextending and Unbalancing Russia,” which assessed how encouraging domestic protests, providing lethal aid to Ukraine, and undermining Russia’s image abroad might weaken and destabilize the country.

Regime change could be achieved when the Russian population blamed Putin for their hardships and mounted a rebellion against him.

But would this strategy work again?

We'll discuss different potential scenarios in future articles.
