V velikih ameriških medijih, na čelu z Washington Postom in New York Timesom, že tri leta vztrajno podpirajo nadaljevanje vojne v Ukrajini in vztrajno agitirajo proti mirovnimi pogajanjem. Zanje nikoli ni pravi čas. No, v tem zadnjem uredniškem komentarju v Washington Postu ob priznanju visokih ukrajinskih izgub življenj poudarjajo, da “Ukrajina stežka preživi še eno leto te uničujoče vojne“, nato pa v istem dahu odkrito priznavajo, zakaj bi bil konec vojne v Ukrajini slab: ker bi bil slab za ZDA. Mirna slaba rešitev bi “spodkopala ameriško kredibilnost” in “usmerila jezo Ukrajincev na zahodne podpornike, ki so jih izdali“.
Torej, uredništvo Washington Posta, priznava, da Ukrajina ne more preživeti še enega leta vojne, kljub temu pa so proti mirni rešitvi vojne, ker bi to škodilo ameriškim interesom. Hkrati pa ne ponujajo nobene alternative. Kaj nam to pove o “strastnih podpornikih Ukrajine”? Pove nam, da jim je vseeno za Ukrajino in življenja Ukrajincev, mar jim je le za ameriške interese. Prav zaradi tega razloga se je začela ta vojna in Ukrajinci so plačali ceno te ameriške “igrice” s svojimi življenji in ozemljem.
Spodaj je odličen komentar v MoA.

The Washington Post editors have long argued for prolonging the war in Ukraine.
In November 2022, when Ukraine was in a good position to negotiate an end to the war, they argued against it:
Mr. Zelensky and his supporters in the West undoubtedly understand that peace talks might eventually be necessary, his commitment to victory notwithstanding. And yet to declare that, or even imply it, before the time is right — before Ukraine’s armed forces have exhausted every opportunity to regain occupied territory — would convey slackening commitment. And that, in turn, can only convince Mr. Putin that time is on his side and that he should prolong the fighting.
Since then Ukraine’s armed forces have exhausted every opportunity to regain occupied territory – and failed. Russia was then and is now convinced that time is on its side.
Now, finally, the editors acknowledge that their war against Russia in Ukraine is lost. But they still insist that this can not be allowed to be formalized in a ceasefire or peace treaty.
While they are stomping their feet they fail to present an alternative:
Ukraine risks losing the war. A Trump-imposed bad deal would be worse. (archived)
A settlement that dismembers Ukraine and rewards Putin will undermine U.S. credibility.
