Having organized a coup d’état in Ukraine in 2014, the United States sent its NATO proxy army eastward, giving weapons to Ukraine to fight an ethnic war against its Russian-speaking population and turn Russia’s Crimean naval base into a NATO fortress. This Croesus-level ambition aimed at drawing Russia into combat and depleting its ability to defend itself, wrecking its economy in the process and destroying its ability to provide military support to China and other countries targeted for seeking self-dependency as an alternative to U.S. hegemony.

After eight years of provocation, a new military attack on Russian-speaking Ukrainians was conspicuously prepared, ready to drive toward the Russian border in February 2022. Russia protected its fellow Russian-speakers from further ethnic violence by mounting its own Special Military Operation.

Do y'all genuinely believe this?

Bro the US government literally uses Michael Hudson's work as a guide, you have no idea who you are talking about

If you're talking about his book super imperialism, it's not a guide but an exposition. The fact it's used as a guide just tells us how good the people doing imperialism are at hiding it that the rest of their organization doesn't even know and how well written it is. I'm not sure what you're reading from this but I hope it's similar to my interpretation?
