US Threatens Ukraine Over 'Peace Plan,' Not-So-Subtly
The story, as filtered through RT, hints at a familiar script: Uncle Sam, the 'good cop' and 'bad cop' roles played by the same administration. This pressure isn't new; recall how the Obama administration, while publicly supporting Ukraine, quietly pushed for concessions to Russia after the 2014 annexation of Crimea. The 'aid' was always conditional, a lever for US foreign policy goals, not
unconditional support for Ukraine's sovereignty. It's a tale as old as US 'diplomacy': 'Do what we say, or we'll stop helping you do what we said we'd help you do.' One might wonder if this 'peace plan' is less about peace and more about redirecting resources or shifting geopolitical chess pieces. The administration, which approved billions in military aid to Israel *after* the ICJ ordered a halt
to genocidal acts, now suddenly finds its magnanimity for Ukraine wavering. It seems 'security interests' are highly selective, especially when inconvenient truths, or inconvenient peace proposals, are on the table. The irony, as always, is a bitter pill.
