US Demands Ukraine 'Peace' Before Security. How Convenient.
Politico, as reported by RT, indicates the U.S. wants a peace deal in Ukraine before security guarantees are on the table. This isn't just about Ukraine; it's a classic maneuver seen in past interventions. The U.S. funded various 'opposition' groups in Syria for years, then insisted Bashar al-Assad step down for 'peace,' without ever ensuring post-war stability. We've seen this script before,
where the carrot of future security is dangled to enforce immediate compliance, only to be withdrawn or diluted later. It’s a pattern of demanding concessions first, then offering vague promises after, ultimately leaving the client state vulnerable. So, the U.S. wants Kyiv to sign on the dotted line, then maybe, just maybe, they’ll talk about protecting what's left. It's the geopolitical
equivalent of promising your dog a treat if it just 'behaves' and then conveniently forgetting the treat once the desired behavior is achieved. One might wonder, how many times can a global hegemon demand 'peace' on its own terms before the hypocrisy becomes undeniable?
