Anyone who's interested in getting a balanced view about the root causes of the war would do well to read this article in which Pierre de Gaulle, the grandson of former French President General Charles de Gaulle (who is also a a general in the French army), shares his opinions on the war and has defended Russia, which he believes is being conspired against.
It's not necessary to like M. de Gaulle, let alone agree with him, but it is necessary to consider his comments with an open mind and not to dismiss them out of hand. Enjoy . . .
“The Americans, as it were, cut off Europe from Russia, set the Europeans against the Russians. Why would they do that? Because Europe in alliance with Russia could be a strong bloc both politically and economically, culturally and socially – in general, up to 500 million people live in the EU and Russia,” he added.
“Ever since the Vietnam War and the economic crises that followed, Americans have always tried by force, cunning and other dishonest means to make up for the loss of their economic and political influence, although it is inevitable.
“In particular, the Americans are trying to slow down the dollar’s loss of its status as the only (that is, monopoly) world exchange currency. And this policy continues.”
Isn't there a member of T2W who's been making this very same point right here on this thread?!

Grandson of former French President Charles de Gaulle defends ‘under attack’ Russia and slams EU
Of particular interest, IMO, are his comments about the role of the U.S. in the conflict. He said: “I think that public opinion in France is beginning to understand what the evil game of the Americans is today. By using lies primarily when communicating with allies within NATO, the United States has managed to use the Ukrainian crisis to destabilise Europe.”“The Americans, as it were, cut off Europe from Russia, set the Europeans against the Russians. Why would they do that? Because Europe in alliance with Russia could be a strong bloc both politically and economically, culturally and socially – in general, up to 500 million people live in the EU and Russia,” he added.
