Somewhat overshadowed by yesterday’s “Chinese spy balloon” hysteria was the revelation that the CIA has recently been trying to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine that involves offering 20% of Ukraine to Russia.
Both Kyiv and Moscow rejected the deal but it does raise an interesting question: why might “high-ranking German foreign politicians” have leaked this?
One possibility is that a faction within the German government is rebelling against the continued subjugation of the German economy for the furtherance of US geopolitical objectives.
If so, the leaking of the US-backed deal can be seen as an attempt to embarrass the Biden admin by exposing the vast chasm between their public rhetoric and their private actions and intentions.
Leaking this attempted deal would also perfectly highlight the fantasy of Ukraine as a sovereign state, when a country on the other side of the world supplies all the weapons to extend the conflict while also drawing up the terms of your surrender.

Funnily enough, a few hours after the Newsweek article was published, the White House issued a statement calling the existence of the offer “not accurate”.
As the old saying goes, never believe anything until it has been officially denied!
all american media is run by fascists, and all western media is a highly suspect source.
Newsweek is run by daily caller/stormfront types, though.
In 1977, journalist Carl Bernstein revealed deep CIA connections with the big business media. More than 400 reporters collaborated with the CIA, with the consent of their bosses.
Media outlets that worked in a propaganda alliance with the spy agency included CBS, ABC, NBC, Time, Newsweek, the New York Times, the Associated Press, Reuters, United Press International, the Miami Herald, the Saturday Evening Post, and the New York Herald Tribune.
the entire US media ecosystem are tools of the bourgeoisie. if newsweek says the sky is blue and I quote them saying the sky is blue because I agree that the sky is blue, I shouldn't have to hunt down rachel maddow saying it instead.
In fact, a marxist anti-american news source I read quoted newsweek when they pointed out that most of the global south is not on NATO's side in this war. Newsweek in turn was quoting diplomats, who in turn were looking at UN votes. Just because that piece of information, whose source was a UN vote, passed through a dogshit source like newsweek, doesn't make it wrong
Difference being, you can confirm that those sources are in agreement, here you just have German bourgeoisie (who are currently in conflict with US Bourgeoisie) "leaking" this information to Newsweek.
I'm not saying MSNBC is a more trustworthy source than Newsweek, I'm saying watch that you're not spreading disinfo on behalf of competing bourgeois interests, that's all.
