On 2/24/2022, Russia launched a war against Ukraine. Most Americans reacted fiercely against Russia, without reasoning. This is just like they did in the wake of the 9/11/2001 attacks on America!
It’s time to compare the two events, as well as the two respective American reactions.
1. 9/11/2001 attacks
The 9/11 attacks were indeed attacks on America. Most Americans understand the reason behind them being “they hate us”. This followed the narrative by the establishment, without reasoning (Why they hate us).
As a result, America responded with two wars: the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan. This caused more damage to America in all aspects, from human life and treasury to America’s standing in the world!
2. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine on 2/24/2022
Nobody should endorse this invasion, but everybody must understand the real reason behind it.
Unfortunately, most Americans believe the war was “unprovoked”. This is the narrative of the establishment (Calling Russia’s Attack ‘Unprovoked’ Lets US Off the Hook), without reasoning. In contrast: (Pope Francis Says NATO Started War in Ukraine by “Barking at Putin’s Door”).
As a result, America has simply turned it into a proxy war against Russia (Is the US now officially engaged in a proxy war with Russia in Ukraine?), risking the world with WW III!
3. What was in common in two American reactions?
Two administrations lied about the wars, resulting in two biggest American war lies this century:
- WMDs in Iraq – President Bush II must be held accountable for it! For more, read Desmond Tutu says Bush and Blair should face trial at International Criminal Court over Iraq.
- The war in Ukraine is “unprovoked”. – President Biden must be held accountable for it!
Why do American Presidents so blatantly provoke and lie about wars?
Two main reasons:
- Getting re-elected ad nauseam!
- Americans are receptive to lies: Americans are perhaps the most dumbed-down people in the world, as highlighted by two images below.
4. Discussion
President Bush II destroyed Iraq, while President Biden might destroy us all as a species by provoking a nuclear war! Two informative readings:
History will not be kind to President Bush II!
President Biden still has a chance to better conduct his presidency, but I am no longer optimistic about it. Three informative readings:
- President Biden in the Real World of Three New Kingdoms.
- Joe Biden Calls for Putin’s Removal: ‘This Man Cannot Remain in Power’.
- US would intervene with military to defend Taiwan if China invaded, Biden says.
5. More discussion
Why is America so full of lies?
Very profoundly, we are actually witnessing the end of colonialism (1492-2030), with America being the last big colonial power standing, resisting relentlessly and recklessly!

6. Closing
Apparently, America has not learned much from 9/11/2001 to 2/24/2022, nor has changed much: America continues to be a nation incapable of basic critical thinking!
America, reform our failing political system, as I have suggested (History 2.0 – China’s Comeback vs. America’s Decline), or become a fiddle, second to China!
