Arthur Herman wrote in the Wall Street Journal that, “President Trump has thrust the U.S. into… a time when a single great power dominates the globe and crafts a new world order.”
The great power that dominates the globe is us. To dominate the globe, we must divide and conquer the other great powers. That’s why the U.S. stopped peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in April 2022.
Oleksandr Chalyi said ‘We were very close in the middle of April [2022]… to finalize our war with some peaceful settlement.”
David Arakhamia led Ukraine’s delegation in 2022. Arakhamia said Russia was “ready to end the war if [Ukraine] took neutrality… and made commitments that we would not join Nato.” However, at the same time that Russia and Ukraine “managed to find a very real compromise,” Ukrainian generals met with American and European military officials in Wiesbaden, Germany.
Three years after Russia’s invasion, the New York Times was finally able to admit, “The Americans, their European allies and the Ukrainians had also joined in a secret partnership of intelligence, strategy, planning and technology.”
The Times wrote that the War in Ukraine was “a rematch in a long history of U.S.-Russia proxy wars.” The Biden administration allowed the CIA to “support strikes inside Russia to achieve specific objectives,” and kill “Russian soldiers on sovereign Russian soil.”
The U.S. proxy war against Russia in Ukraine— and the intimate collaboration between U.S. and Ukrainian military officials— was an important backdrop to the peace negotiations. Former German chancellor Gerhard Schröder said, “the Ukrainians did not agree on peace because they were not allowed to. For everything they discussed, they first had to ask the Americans.”
Former US State Department official Victoria Nuland and Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett separately concluded that the U.S. discouraged Ukraine from signing a peaceful settlement. Doug Bandow agreed that “the U.S. helped torpedo Russo–Ukrainian negotiations.”
Turkey’s Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavu?o?lu observed, “There are countries in the West that want the war to continue, with NATO member states among them.” The Washington Post wrote that the reality was “For some in NATO, it’s better for the Ukrainians to keep fighting, and dying, than to achieve a peace.” Then Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Arakhamia “let’s just fight.”
The Times reported, “At least 83 times before Election Day, Mr. Trump promised,” to end the U.S. proxy war in Ukraine. Trump created a lot of hoopla and bluster about ending the war, but he ultimately followed in a similar path as Biden. Trump approved the CIA effort to increase the amount of Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian oil facilities.
The Times wrote, “Mr. Trump praised America’s surreptitious role in these blows to Russia’s energy industry.” Trump authorized the CIA effort “to assist with Ukrainian drone strikes on ‘shadow fleet’ vessels in the Black Sea and the Mediterranean.”
In Ukraine, Trump will continue to pursue peace through war. The taxpayers bear the costs for us to remain the dominant global superpower.
