U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the United States and its allies should not support a cease-fire or peace talks to end the war in Ukraine until Kyiv gains strength and can negotiate on its own terms. Blinken said in Finland on Friday that heeding calls from Russia and others for negotiations now would result in a false “Potemkin peace” that wouldn’t secure Ukraine’s sovereignty and or enhance European security. He argued that a cease-fire allowing Russian President Vladimir Putin “to consolidate control over the territory he has seized, and rest, rearm, and re-attack" would not bring "a just and lasting peace.” Kyiv has given confusing signals about whether a counteroffensive is coming or already underway.
“We believe the prerequisite for meaningful diplomacy and real peace is a stronger Ukraine, capable of deterring and defending against any future aggression,” Blinken said in a speech in Finland, which recently became NATO’s newest member and shares a long border with Russia.
RAND represents the views of the neocons who run your country, and it outlines the exact scenario we’re seeing unfold in Ukraine as a way for US to weaken Russia. It’s absolutely incredible that Americans continue to believe that each time their country gets involved in a new war that this is going to be the one time you’re on the right side of history.
I just love how you keep acting smug here while showing utter lack of understanding regarding the subject you’re opining on. Maybe instead of telling me what I do or don’t understand go read the report your deplorable regime wrote.
