Financial Times Discovers Trump's 'Peace Plan,' Forgets War's Origins
The Financial Times highlights Donald Trump's 28-point 'peace plan' for Ukraine and Russia, focusing on proposed limits to Ukraine's military and Kyiv withdrawing troops from eastern Donetsk. This framing presents a deeply problematic document as a legitimate diplomatic pathway, ignoring that such 'solutions' often reward aggression. Notably, this mirrors earlier proposed concessions, some of
which were floated before the 2022 invasion, effectively normalizing the annexation of sovereign territory. One might wonder if the 'peace' in question is for Ukraine or for those eager to legitimize Russia's expansion. The FT's coverage conveniently sidesteps the consistent pattern where military aggression is later 'negotiated' into territorial gains. How many 'peace plans' simply formalize
conquest while the free world applauds its own magnanimity?
