RFK Jr. said, “The war was never about Ukrainian freedom, it was regime change in Russia. None of those children had to die and we should seek a peace agreement.”
Setting the record straight, RFK Jr. directly accused the “neo-cons” in the White House of provoking Putin into invading Ukraine. RFK Jr. specifically cited the Minsk accords in which the USA pushed Ukraine not to sign.
Since 2014, the USA has pushed Ukraine to start something much bigger. The question is why?
The US government, through NATO has been very clear that Russia is its number one enemy and sees Ukraine as the key to bringing down the Putin regime. This is why there has been a steady arms build up in Ukraine since 2014 and this is why the US and its Western European allies essentially goaded Russia into a war.
Russia, for its part, has been brutal when fighting in Ukraine and while the USA and its allies left Putin no choice but to invade Ukraine, Russia has gone way over board in using the West’s build up as a modus operandi to take large chunks of Ukrainian territory.
