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.

:this:

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!

    If this is true, then to me it’s a rare good thing that they’re doing, ending the conflict is what I - and I thought all of us - want.

    yeah, if it's true. Thing is, I don't trust that it's true. Because I've been watching the Amerikkkan empire rug pull everyone with false peace my whole life. "Peace" for America means putting violence on the back burner, not turning the stove off altogether.

    If your whole approach is just trying to own NATO from any angle possible, that’s how you end up with “NATO is bad for making a peace offer.”

    I'm jokerfied and laughing at imperialists for pretending that peace means starting another war, using an entire country as a meatshield, and then surrendering 20% of that country after screeching and shedding crocodile tears for an entire year how much they cared about that country's sovereignty
