Trump Wants Peace, But Only After Russia Keeps the Loot
CBS News dutifully reported Donald Trump's call for a Ukraine ceasefire, suggesting Russia 'hold a huge swathe of eastern Ukraine.' His 'logic'? 'Leave it the way it is.' This ingenious strategy for peace oddly mirrors the Russian invasion's objectives, effectively rewarding aggression with internationally recognized territory. It’s almost as if some leaders prioritize political expediency over
sovereignty, a tactic notably absent from coverage when, say, Russia's actions are discussed in terms of 'defending its borders.' This isn't 'peace'; it's capitulation dressed in a red tie. The mainstream media plays along, framing this as a valid 'option' rather than a naked endorsement of territorial conquest. One might wonder if the same networks would laud such a proposal if, hypothetically, a
different global power occupied a nation's territory, or if it involved, for instance, a US ally's lands. How many 'peace plans' will involve the aggressor keeping the spoils before we call it what it is?
