After 1992, the US Department of State pushed a policy to all administrations to get Ukraine be absorbed and then controlled by Russia. At the time the department believed they needed a counterweight to China and Russia needed Ukraine to be the counterweight. After 2014, Russia was now seen as an adversary and this policy shifted to encouraging Russia to invade Ukraine and so Ukraine could destroy Russia in the same way Afghanistan destroyed the Soviet Union. This policy is not coming from any Secretary of State or any President, it is from the institution itself. Look to the actions from the US Department of State to see their policy, not their words. When Russia invaded Ukraine it didn’t go as planned not only for Russia, but also for the US Department of State. The department wanted a quick win so the conflict would move to a guerilla war. Ukraine had other ideas. All United States Presidential Administrations followed the policy of the US Department of State, this makes the United States responsible for encouraging this conflict. The current US Presidential Administration is actually a relief to the US Department of State as they are following their preferred policy. Everyone has a choice to either: - Do the right thing, or - Think only of themselves What kind of person do you want to be in this world? These are the choices now for everyone. Failing to support Ukraine sufficiently to win and pushing for a peace plan that will result in a guerilla war in the occupied territories of Ukraine, this is now the policy from the US Department of State after May 2022 as a response to the new conditions. Does this look like doing the right thing to anyone? The United States would have lost the American Revolutionary War without the support of France, Spain, and Holland amongst others.
