In April 2022,
President Biden sent Boris Johnson to Ukraine
to force President Zelensky to tear up a peace agreement
that he and the Russians had already signed
and the Russians were withdrawing troops.
I’m Kiev and Donbass and Lugansk,
and that peace agreement would have brought peace to the region
and would have allowed Donbass and Lugansk to remain part of Ukraine.
President Biden stated that month that this object
that his objective in the war was regime change in Russia.
His defense secretary, Lloyd Austin,
simultaneously explained that
America’s purpose in the war was to exhaust the Russian army,
to degrade its capacity to fight anywhere else in the world.
These objectives, of course,
have nothing to do with what they were telling Americans
about protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty.
