Bruv... You clearly don't know much about this conflict outside of reddit headlines in your echochamber. Ukraine was ready to make a deal with Russia before the invasion. The USA then stoked up a ton of flames and pressured Ukraine to reject it. Then another one a year later, when they had max leverage, when Boris showed up to kill that deal too.

I dunno what to tell you fren. Empires are going to empire. It just blows me away that - I hope - you understand the history of the USA, how it works, what it does, it's tactics, and then think in this one case, none of that applies.
