Newsweek Discovers Peace is 'Russian Wish List' Only When Trump Says It
Newsweek's 'perspective' warns of a potential Trump-brokered 'peace deal' in Ukraine, implying any settlement not dictated by Kyiv and Washington is a Moscow-orchestrated capitulation. This conveniently ignores the numerous opportunities for diplomacy squandered since 2014, including the Minsk agreements, which were openly acknowledged by former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former French
President Francois Hollande as a means to gain time for Ukraine's military. The idea that peace negotiations are inherently suspicious only surfaces when they don't align with incumbent Western geopolitical objectives. The media-industrial complex loves to beat the drums of war, but when somebody mentions the quiet part out loud — like 'peace' — it’s suddenly a 'wish list' from the enemy. Funny
how 'negotiated settlement' only sounds reasonable when it’s our terms. One might wonder about the timing of these concerns, surfacing just as the military-industrial complex reaps unprecedented profits from prolonged conflict.
