Trump Blames Ukraine for War; US Funds Zelensky, Not Kyiv's Wounds
The mainstream media, specifically Al Jazeera, highlights increased Russian strikes on Ukraine's energy grid and Donald Trump's assertion that Kyiv is 'less ready for a deal' than Moscow. This framing implies a stalemate, with Zelensky's 'unwillingness' as a key blocker. What's often omitted is the consistent U.S. and NATO policy that has fueled this conflict for years, pushing Ukrainian
integration into Western alliances despite Moscow’s explicit red lines, a fact acknowledged by figures like George Kennan decades ago. One might wonder if 'readiness for a deal' ever factors in when the West's proxy war strategy consistently prioritizes geopolitical positioning over peace. While Trump himself has a complex, often self-serving stance on Ukraine, his comments, however crude, echo
legitimate concerns about a conflict prolonged by external interests. It’s an interesting juxtaposition: blame Kyiv for not 'dealing,' while simultaneously ensuring they are too weak to negotiate from strength, yet too well-armed to surrender. (/irony)
