The proxy war between the U.S. and Russia has begun. They just haven’t told you.
Today, the Indiana National Guard announced it has prepped M113 armored personnel carriers to be sent to Ukraine to fight the Russians.
No word on how many are being sent or have already been sent.
The press release the Indiana National Guard sent out this afternoon contained few details.
“Hoosier Guardsmen inspected, repaired and test drove M113s to ensure they are fully operational,” it says.
The shipment of the M113s to Ukraine is “part of a U.S. initiative to support Ukrainians in the defense of their nation,” it also says.
Hmmm. Ok.
We don’t know whether any Guardsmen have been deployed to Ukraine or nearby, but last month the head of the Indiana National Guard, Major General R. Dale Lyles, went to Slovakia with Gov. Eric Holcomb where they met with defense officials and also with the U.S. ambassador to Slovakia, Bridget Brink, who was just named by the Biden administration to be ambassador to Ukraine.
Governor Eric Holcomb @GovHolcomb
#INSlovakia | Today, @SecChambersIN, Maj. Gen. Lyles and I met with Minister of Defense of the Slovak Republic @JaroNad and Chief of Defense General Daniel Zmeko to reinforce @INGuardsman's more than 25-year collaborative partnership with Slovakia. 🇸🇰 https://t.co/hpx89xfvL8
Brink, a native of Michigan, is an underling of Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland, who was intimately involved in helping to instigate the overthrow in 2014 of the democratically elected president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, for the crime of being too friendly with Russia.
Nuland replaced Yanukovych with a regime hostile to Russia and CIA operatives swarmed Ukraine, turning it into a base from which to menace Russia and attack Russian speakers in eastern Ukraine.
Nuland’s husband, of course, is neocon warmonger Robert Kagan, one of the founders of the Project for a New American Century along with Bill Kristol and one of the architects of the 20-year War on Terror.
Simply put: Kagan and his friends are communists. They are furious that Russia is no longer communist and is again a Christian nation. Their goal is to “break Russia” — and they have made sure that this is also the true aim of American foreign policy.
It seems Indiana is happy to go along with this disastrous plan, swept up in the emotional calls to help Ukraine.
Such a shame.

U.S. is backing the wrong side in Ukraine and the whole world knows it. Whose idea was this? How much money changed hands?
States running their own foreign policies now? What if a different state decides to send military equipment to Yemen? Or Syria? Or, heaven forfend, Russia?
