Well, its possible it ended in 2012. We are birthing a new cycle right now. Except, all the old people are still in charge. And because the bombs are so big, they still seem relevant.
Here are some references from a few oldies who, although they can't manage a youtube thumbnail, seem to be able to tell the truth about our european war.
We can't keep up with production. We are not an industrial nation anymore, we are post-industrial. And war is the only excuse they can think up in order to rebuild these capabilities.
Maybe a proxy war will help us get our groove back. But I doubt it - since we've been out of our liberty-loving groove since the Overthrow of Hawaii in 1893.
We are hearing about a rushed peace offer. The US officials seem to know whats happening behind the propaganda war. It can be hard to know who to believe, but it seems clear that Russia is pushing, Russia is winning, and Russia is WAY deeper.

By the way, this Anthony Blinken guy..... I'm getting tired of hearing about A. Blinken!
Okay okay, but, as the story goes, Ukrainians are doing good, they just need our money-power and they are well on their way to dismantling Russia into 15 pieces, a jolly mirror-reflection of the break-up of the Soviet Union. Everyone is talking about it. (Suddenly Demographics is the great crystal ball lol).
It all makes sense! Its probably even good for the people, this is all natural, just look back to the 1600's and you can see. (anyone remember that far back?)

Let's talk to one of the many western mercs fighting in Ukraine to bust the myth that Russia and their forces are 'just not that good'. They are good. And they are winning.
This video has nice picture inlays explaining lots of the tech and equipment acronyms that are used in the military.
Let me also link you to Moon of Alabama, which is a solid news source from 'the other side' of the Dneiper, and even a lot of what happens in Europe that gets thrice-twisted before landing on this side of the Atlantic.
Remember, they send old-model weapons ('aid') to make inventory space so they can requisition new and more expensive weapons from the defense contractors.
And Ukraine is a black hole of weapons trading and money laundering. You didn't think all that stuff was ending up on the actual front lines did you? Which front lines?
Its not coincidence that US president Joe Biden's family is tied to corruption in Ukraine. Its one of the most corruptly run countries out there, and has been known for a long time.

Okay, so that's some backgrounder. Let's see if Jimmy Dore can make us understand what this is all about:
Your enemy is not China, your enemy is not Russia, your enemy is the Military Industrial Complex.
United States is the world's terrorist. We just set the middle east on fire for the last 20 years and now we're doing a proxy war in Ukraine, that we provoked, admitted we provoked a war in Ukraine.
I'm going to just keep growing firewood here on the side of our mountain. Enjoy the view:
