US Drafts Ukraine 'Peace Plan' It Previously Derailed
Volodymyr Zelenskyy is allegedly 'scrambling to resist' a U.S.-drafted peace plan he's being pressured to accept. (Funny, isn't it, how 'resistance' to U.S. suggestions often disappears after a few phone calls?) This follows months, if not years, of Western media framing any talk of Ukrainian compromise as weakness or Russian propaganda. The new spin: the U.S. is suddenly a peace broker. What's
omitted? That the U.S. and UK actively worked to scuttle a 2022 peace deal brokered in Turkey, according to former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and multiple media reports at the time. Washington seemed content to fight 'to the last Ukrainian,' making any suggestion of an early negotiated settlement anathema. So, after pouring billions in taxpayer dollars into a proxy war—a proxy war
whose primary beneficiaries appear to be the military-industrial complex (check Lockheed Martin and Raytheon stock prices, if you’re into receipts)—the 'great negotiators' of Washington are finally, reluctantly, proposing a ‘deal.’ One might wonder: after ensuring maximum damage and profit, is this merely a 'peace plan' designed to secure U.S. interests and maintain influence, not genuinely end
suffering? How many opportunities for actual de-escalation did the U.S. ignore, or actively undermine, before deciding it was time for their plan?
