"This is not war in the Clausewitzian sense of two sovereign actors vying for victory. It is war in the Schmittian sense, where one side is an object rather than a subject, a battlefield rather than a player. The U.S. does not merely use Ukraine. It governs the conditions of its life."

It is not just about war but about the management of death itself, the strategic control of who is allowed to live and who is left to perish. For Ukraine, existence is contingent upon its usefulness to larger powers, a pawn whose suffering is not a tragedy but a calculated necessity."
