They’re Just Outright Telling Us That Peace In Ukraine Is Not An Option (CJ is a bit naïve. She is unaware that this was the objective of expanding NATO eastward in the first place and later the coup that overthrew the Ukrainian democratically elected government. It's part of the larger plan to take down Russia and China to cement Western (read "white captialist") domination globally. The notion that Russia's invasion of Ukraine was unprovoked is a figment of an information war that is part of the multi-domain operations being used to attack Russian and China on all levels from the cultural to the military, including the potential for "limited" nuclear war to accomplish this objective if need be.)
