    The US wants peace and stability in the region and support for their Ukrainian and European friends.

    The US does not want peace. You know why? Because the US rejects any peace deal with Russia, while Russia repeatedly extended proposals for a peace deal. Ukraine had democracy, peace, and stability before NATO showed up. There is a before and there is an after. Ukraine today is less democratic, less free, and far less stable under the tutelage of NATO. By all metrics, Ukraine has receded on everything. What the US wants is to expand its influence, which was a long term policy set many years ago after the fall of the USSR. What the US wants is a NATO Ukraine, a NATO Russia, or NATO Russian states subservient to US foreign policy, that extends into Eurasia. This is the reason the US does not accept any peace agreements or compromises with Russia. The Russian political class is the stumbling block for US influences beyond Europe. How do I know this? Whistleblowers and articles by American elites and the very little coverage of the evidence at hand. The most important news you will find on page 25 or at the back of the newspaper, as it is a proper analogy to mainstream news media.

    There is short term policy and then there is long term policy. For long term policy to work, you need an entrenched establishment with common goals and a common ideology. This is why Donald Trump is not accepted among the establishment. Americans elites were debating soon after the collapse of the USSR on whether NATO should expand near Russia’s borders. Very important people in the US government and the EU knew that expanding NATO to Russia’s borders was insane. Especially expanding NATO to Ukraine, which was meant to be a neutral state to meet security concerns. Part of that security concern was the denuclearization - which is a paradox because a nuclear weapon is the ultimate defensive weapon. The warmongers, the hawks, the neocons won out, and it became settled policy to perpetually expand NATO, which is why it is not a defensive alliance. When the USSR collapsed, its conventional military forces became weak, but the Russians counted on their nuclear arsenal to protect them from NATO expansion as the ultimate defensive weapon. Conventional military forces are used much more offensively while a nuclear strike is rarely used in that way, if you consider Nagasaki, and Hiroshima offensive. Nuclear threat escalates the threat to survival on a much higher scale. Russia is afraid of NATO’s conventional forces because NATO is the expansionist here. Americans adopted the British Empire geo-strategy of encircling Russia.

    Your answers to my questions are not serious, and you have no evidence to support your claims. To understand the conflict in Ukraine, it is important to know it is not just a Russian factor; it is also the US factor. Without the US factor, there is no Russian factor. That is to say, without US interference, and involvement in Ukraine, there would be no 2014 coup in Ukraine, and the Russians, for sure, would have not invaded on Feb. 24, 2022. The Russian invasion of Ukraine was not unprovoked, not by a long shot, despite what Western information dispensers say. The following links are evidence…
