The crisis in Ukraine as a US special operation
https://doi.org/10.48137/2074-2975_2024_3_46
Abstract
The article shows the evolution of approaches to expanding the zones of American influence and the practice of applying models to create regimes loyal to Washington. The doctrine of “State Building 1.0” was focused on the strict subordination of Caribbean polities, “State Building 2.0” camouflages the previous goals of domination by the concepts of liberalism and democracy. Building a vassal state in Ukraine is a special operation that the US is unlikely to abandon.
