Is Brzezinski Pushing Ethnic Cleansing for Eastern Ukraine?
Thursday July 3, 2014
Global chessboard enthusiast Zbigniew Brzezinski has a plan for Ukraine. In a recent speech to the Woodrow Wilson Center, excerpted by the Atlantic Council, he argues forcefully in favor of the United States providing the Ukrainian military far more weapons.
Under the guise of preventing a Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has been the rallying cry of those who seek more US involvement in the region, Brzezinski believes that the US must provide Ukraine with enough weapons to deter Russian aggression toward Ukraine.
The odds of defending against the invading Russian military being very low, Brzezinski has a different idea of how the US should arm the Kiev government.
Said the former National Security Advisor:
I feel that we should make it clear to the Ukrainians that if they are determined to resist, as they say they are and seemingly they are trying to do so (albeit not very effectively), we will provide them with anti-tank weapons, hand-held anti-tank weapons, hand-held rockets—weapons capable for use in urban short range fighting.The US must provide urban warfare equipment to the Kiev government, he says, in order to forestall the impending Russian invasion.
