Donbas 'Absurdity' Overlooks US Arms Pipeline
The idea of ceding territory is certainly unpalatable for any nation. What's often missing from the current narrative, however, is the long, deliberate march toward this conflict—a march fueled by consistent Western military aid and expansion of NATO. This 'absurdity' isn't a new phenomenon; it's the latest act in a geopolitical drama where the US alone has committed over $175 billion in security
assistance to Ukraine since 2014, as reported by the Department of Defense, effectively drawing a line in the sand without an exit strategy. We're told it's 'absurd' to give up Donbas, yet the discussion neatly sidesteps the years of ignored warnings and diplomatic failures. Instead, the focus remains on the current outrage, sanitizing the historical context where escalating military support,
rather than robust diplomatic engagement, became the primary response to regional tensions. How many more regions must be sacrificed on the altar of prolonged proxy warfare disguised as steadfast support?
