With these:

https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/trump-threatens-secondary-tariffs-on-russian-oil-if-ukraine-cease-fire-fails-5833865? THIS ONE ESPECIALLY MAKES NO SENSE AS IT IS NOT RUSSIA VIOLATING THE AGREEMENT

The story published in the NY Times on Saturday, clearly a CIA plant, says that the conflict in Ukraine was orchestrated by Washington and run as a US directed war against Russia with the intent of inflicting a military defeat on Russia that would unseat Putin and restore Russia to Washington’s control. The plan was working until Zelensky, intended by Washington as a mere front, got involved, interfered with Washington’s brilliant plans, and caused the war to be lost.

So, why is Trump, who claims he wants peace, blaming and threatening Putin, who has kept the limited ceasefire agreement despite 6 Ukrainian or actually NATO/US violations of the agreement, instead of blaming Ukraine, the scapegoat the CIA has presented for the failure of the war to succeed for Washington?
