US Seeks Ukraine 'Compromise' After Funding Two Years of War
Bloomberg breathlessly reports that the US and Ukraine are finally seeking a 'land compromise' for a peace deal with Putin. This sudden pivot to diplomacy comes after two years and over $75 billion in US aid, much of it military, pushed a narrative of unwavering victory. One might wonder if this 'compromise' was always on the table before Lockheed Martin and Raytheon's stock prices were
sufficiently inflated. This isn't about 'peace'; it's about shifting the goalposts after the initial strategy failed to deliver a decisive win, but certainly delivered record profits to defense contractors. The media, which previously amplified calls for total victory, now frames concession as 'pragmatism.' How many lives, and how much taxpayer money, will be spent before the 'compromise' they
eventually reach looks suspiciously like the one available at the start?
