As Ukraine sinks into collapse from Russia’s invasion
the US provoked, the death and destruction has made no dent on Uncle
Sam’s inhumane conscience.
A year ago when NATO member Turkey neared a 15 point
negotiated settlement, the US and UK each sent a top official to Kyiv
not to request, but demand that Ukraine President Zelensky walk away to
keep fighting. That grotesque demand led to over 100,000 unnecessary
Ukraine deaths over the next year. A third of the Ukraine economy
vanished. Six million left Ukraine and another six million relocated.
The US didn’t blow up a negotiated peace to inflict
this carnage on Ukraine. They simply wanted, in the words of US war
emissary, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, to keep the war going to “weaken Russia”. That was an abomination that should shame every peace loving American.
Today begins US sabotage 2.0 of a new Russo Ukraine peace proposal. Chinese President Xi Jinping arrives in Moscow to meet with Russian President Putin and virtually with Ukraine President Zelensky to possibly negotiate peace. War weary Zelensky expressed openness to Xi’s 12 point peace proposal.
President Biden should be thrilled that peace in the
war may be at hand. Instead he’s apoplectic. His national security
spokesman John Kirby offered,
“We don’t support calls for a
ceasefire right now. We certainly don’t support calls for a ceasefire
that would be called for by the PRC in a meeting in Moscow that would
simply benefit Russia.”
Once again it’s not about ending a war destroying
Ukraine as a functioning state. And God forbid peace be brokered by our
other arch enemy China in America’s 21stcentury Cold War that could
quickly go nuclear. Outside of the US and Australia, the rest of the
world in cheering on China’s peace efforts. Even European NATO countries
are likely tho silently on board. They’re not thrilled about the US
blowing up the Nord Steam pipeline and tripling their energy costs to
degrade Russia.
By preventing a March, 2022 peace agreement, the US
blew a chance for an agreement that would have reverted to the
pre-invasion territorial lines. An easily prevented year of war means
any new peace agreement will likely see the annexation of the Donbas
provinces and the Ukrainian oblasts of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia.
Once again the US has overplayed its hand, ensuring, it we
don’t stumble into nuclear war, the utter ruin of Ukraine and the
demise of US unipolar dominance.
