The Dissident reports another public figure, this time the PM of the Czech Republic, confirming that the 2022 peace agreed between Russia and Ukraine was undermined by the West.

Czech Republic Prime Minister- Boris Johnson Blocked Peace Deal In Ukraine.

RBC Ukraine reports, “Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said that a chance for peace between Russia and Ukraine in 2022 was lost due to external interference” adding, “According to the prime minister, in April 2022, Kyiv and Moscow were very close to reaching a peace agreement, but the process, Babiš claims, was disrupted after intervention by Ukraine’s Western partners.”

The obvious question is: Wasn't that a war crime - given that hundreds of thousands of Russian and Ukrainians have died since then?

What this clearly confirms is that the war was provoked and prolonged by the west, as Scott Horton and others confirmed years ago, and that the reason Putin called it a 'Special Military Operation' was that the aim was to make a show of force, get it over quickly with minimal casualties, and negotiate a lasting solution to the problem of Ukrainian oppression of their own Russian-speaking people in the east.

But that was not what the West, or their allies the Ukrainian ultra-nationalists wanted. 

The West wanted Russia humbled and weakened - through a proxy war that they provoked, provisioned and prolonged - and ideally split up and subject to regime change, while their ultra-nationalist allies wanted to enforce an extreme and 'clean' version of the Ukrainian state, cleansed that is of Russian speakers and anyone else they don't like. 

In pursuit of these goals, hundred of thousands of Russians and Ukrainians died, milliions of Ukrainians migrated to the East and West dependent on aid from their host countries and Ukraine's economy was bankrupted and only survives due to massive western loans they will never be able to repay.

Russia hunkered down and pivoted East, so China and India benefit from even cheaper Russian energy. There was never any question of Putin being 'toppled' due to his domestic popularity and western leaders had to face up to the fact that they were up against a far more sophisticated adversary than Saddam, Gaddafi or the Taliban and someone who ran rings around the amateur coalition of 'leaders' who lined up against him.

It was like a bunch of gangly, spotty kids stepping into the ring with Mike Tyson. There was only ever going to be one result: Humiliation.

The European economies tanked as they cut off the cheap Russian energy that had bankrolled their economies for decades, and as they scrambled to find money to prolong the war they started by borrowing and depriving their own people of benefits.

While the USA benefited from the switch to more expensive, fracked LNG by Europe which is hardly the 'green' energy Europe keeps yapping on about, and acting as the main weapons supplier for a war taking place, as usual, thousands of miles away from the 'homeland'.

FNN would call that a war crime - wouldn't you?

But we all know that no-one will be held responsible, least of all Zelensky, who it is perfectly clear has been nothing less than a puppet whose strings were pulled by the USA in order to benefit their oil and gas industry and their MIC, damage the EU in its aspirations to become a global player, and preserve the USA's hegemonic status. Bonus!

The focus on the crimes of Epstein and his 'harem' of merry men pales in comparison to this far more devastating litany of crimes.
