State Department Says It Just Wants the War to Keep Going, No Interest in Diplomacy

The State Department is literally saying: “Yeah you know, we don’t really have any interest in any kind of a solution here. We’d prefer to just keep shoving Ukrainians into this meat grinder. After all, borders are sacred, so we can’t possibly accept allowing people who declared independence 8 years ago to ever have it. Also, we should be able to put nukes in the Ukraine, and even if we won’t be able to do that, Ukrainians should die by the thousands for the principle that we should be able to do that.”

The whole Covid hoax really did change the way people process information. This just doesn’t even make any sense, even if you’re really dumb. Either that, or the vax did something to people’s brains. I’d like to see some polling on vaxed vs. unvaxed views on the Ukraine.

Washington will back any negotiations to peacefully resolve the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, but it won’t persuade Kiev to surrender to Moscow, US State Department spokesman Ned Price said on Thursday.

“We have told the Ukrainian government in no uncertain terms that we stand ready to support any diplomacy it wishes to pursue. But, as we’ve always said, we will not push them into concessions,” Price stated during a press briefing.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met with his Ukrainian counterpart, Dmytro Kuleba, in Turkey on Thursday, in what were the most high-profile talks between the two sides since February 24, when the Russian offensive started.

Delegations from Moscow and Kiev have also held three rounds of talks in Belarus, but have so far failed to achieve any significant results.

Russia says it intervened in Ukraine in order to “demilitarize” and “denazify” the country, and to hold accountable those responsible for what Moscow has called the “genocide” of civilians in the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.

The Kremlin’s other demands include a neutral status for Ukraine, meaning it won’t be able to join NATO, and the recognition by Kiev that Crimea is part of Russia and the aforementioned republics are independent states.

Price said fulfilling those terms would represent “the surrender of Ukraine” and that was “not something that can be achieved or solved or addressed through diplomacy.”

He expressed the hope that “the pressure it’s encountering on the battlefield [and] the economic dire straits that it’s in back at home” would push Moscow to negotiate with Ukraine “in a way that actually involves good faith.”

“We haven’t seen that yet, but we will continue to mount pressure on the Kremlin, on President Putin, until we do,” he vowed.’

Russian negotiators in Minsk have blamed the Ukrainian delegation for putting forward “absurd and unrealistic” demands in an attempt to derail Moscow’s initiative to open humanitarian corridors so civilians can leave besieged cities in Ukraine. They claim Kiev rejected most of the routes proposed by Moscow and suggested its own, while insisting it was up to Russia to dispose of the mines left by Ukrainian forces and rebuild a bridge destroyed by their retreating troops.

Following the talks with Kuleba, Lavrov said Kiev was merely trying to create the impression it was committed to diplomatic efforts. He criticized his Ukrainian counterpart for announcing to the media that a ceasefire had not been achieved despite the issue having not even been on the agenda.

Did you catch that?

“The pressure on the battlefield.”

That means “we’re just going to keep throwing these Ukrainians at you, while this Zelensky guy, who has yet to give any real proof he is even still in the country at all, continues telling the Ukrainians through his heavily censored media that they are going to win a war against Russia.”

There is no way they are going to somehow win the war. The only possible thing they can do is keep fighting and dying for no stated reason other than for anal rights and joining NATO to help America’s global strategic objectives, only to eventually lose anyway.

The State Department knows this, and they just want it to keep going, because they’ve calculated that the more dead bodies, and the more destroyed infrastructure, the weaker Russia will be when they eventually finish the job.

This is like if you’ve got $7 in your pocket and a mugger puts a gun to your head and says “give me all your money” and you say “I’ll die first.” Also, you’re with your three kids, and you say “you can kill them to – I’m not giving you the money.”

Except it’s worse than that, because in that analogy, they’re your $7. The Ukrainian people literally have no dogs in this fight. They’ve been neutral for 30 years, and there is not any stated benefit to them in joining NATO, other than that it would prevent a theoretical Russian invasion – which actually happened in real life because they tried to join NATO.
