It has been over two months since the Russia-Ukraine conflict broke out. Multiple parties from the international community have called on the two sides to engage in peace talks, at least apart from the US, which has instead been busy providing weapons to Ukraine.

According to the Associated Press, US President Joe Biden on May 3 visited a missile factory in Alabama, where he made a pitch for Congress to approve $33 billion so that the US could continue to rush aid to the Ukrainians.

In fact, the US is clearly the leading instigator of the Ukraine crisis. The eastward expansion of the US-led NATO alliance triggered the current Ukraine crisis, and after the conflict eventually broke out, the US has constantly continued to stir up trouble, added further fuel to the fire, and benefiting from Ukraine’s misfortune. For Washington, Ukraine is nothing but another one of its chess pieces in the game of geopolitics, not to mention a tool for confronting Russia.

All along, what the US has always wanted to do is to maintain its hegemony. In fact, it doesn’t care about the eventual fate of its “chess pieces.”
