1/7. In case you haven’t been following, here is a short summary of the misnamed Russian-American "peace process" regarding Ukraine.
2/7. The US demands that Ukraine accept an immediate unconditional ceasefire. Ukraine agrees.
3/7. Russia rejects any talk of such a ceasefire, and instead asks for a halt on strikes on energy targets, an area where Ukraine is hurting Russia. The US agrees and Ukraine agrees.
4/7. Russia within one day violates the terms of its own proposal, attacking Ukrainian energy infrastructure along with other civilian targets. There is no US response.
5/7. Meanwhile Russia insists that the United States enforce on Ukraine Russia’s war aims, even though they are outrageous and even though Russia is not winning the war. The US agrees.
6/7. The United States also insists that Ukraine concede its mineral wealth in exchange for nothing at all.
7/7. This has not been a peace process. It has not even been appeasement. It has been the US throwing its power on Russia’s side in a war of aggression.
