Russia Ukraine war, page-200395

IMO the US/UK scotched the peace talks because they wanted
a proxy war with Russia tO
-Weaken Russia economically so that it can't afford to maintain/upgrade its nukes and the means of delivering them
-to weaken the EU
-to weaken the Euro
-to take attention of both US and UK economies who are both in strife
-to flog arms & weapons of war

But of course the plebs are fed horseshit like "Putin only wants to steal land"
