You are making a huge assumption they hoped to prevent conflicts rather than profit from them. The United States only cares about money and power. They do not care about preventing wars or even pandemics. The corporate interest which rule over it only care about more. End of story.

The Ukrainian people have paid in blood for the collusion between Zelenskyy and the United States and the American people are getting fucked and having their money spent on Israel and Ukraine. If the truth were found out, there is likely collusion between the United States and Putin for profit also since Capitalism loves to profit from both sides.

It's a monopoly board where the world and the rest of us pay the price in blood. As Kipling once said after being an imperialist and losing his son to imperialism, "They died because old men lied." Putin is a dog, so is Zelenskyy. I would not piss on either one of them if they were on fire.

The Zelenskyy regime tortured and murdered a reporter who was being critical of them, so the idea they are a Democracy is also a farce. Ukraine, Gaza, Russia and Israel are not my countries. I do not hold any loyalty or love for any of them. I hate seeing the slaughter of people, but it will not stop by more arms and sales pitches about escalation. All of the shit is a cluster fuck.
