The Deep State Has Used the NY Times to Announce Its Withdrawal from Washington’s Conflict with Russia

Guest Post by Paul Craig Roberts

Last Saturday the New York Times completely abandoned the official narrative of the Ukraine Conflict, thus overturning the apple cart full of lies.  Jeff Childers gives us the gist of the New York Times abandonment of the ruling lie.  https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/narrative-whiplash-sunday-march-30?utm_campaign=email-post&r=15k3qo&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

What is the explanation?  My guess is that the Deep State has decided to abandon the conflict and is most likely the author of the Times’ article. The purpose of the article is to set up Zelensky as the scapegoat who caused the war to be lost and to get rid of him so that the conflict can be brought to an end.

These paragraphs show the purpose:

It was going according to plan, the Times sadly said, “until it wasn’t.” The problem wasn’t the Russians, the Americans, or even the slowly draining numbers of trained Ukrainian military forces. No, the problem was one spotlight-hogging Vladimir Zelenskyy. With two y’s, for you’ve got to be kidding me, squared.

“Zelensky was hoping to attend the United Nations General Assembly,” the Times reported. “A showing of progress on the battlefield would bolster his case for additional military support. So the Ukrainians upended the plan at the last minute — a preview of a fundamental disconnect that would increasingly shape the arc of the war.”

Childers’ translation: Zelensky started making his own decisions —ones not approved by the Americans— and the war began unraveling.

A few of us have known from day one that the Ukraine conflict was Washington’s war run out of Wiesbaden.  The questions are:  Why didn’t Putin know, and if he did know why didn’t he do anything?

Now that the New York Times has admitted that the conflict in Ukraine was America’s war with Russia disguised as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, a war that, as I have often said, Trump has no stake in, Trump can end the conflict by ceasing to participate.  There is no reason for bureaucrats and emissaries to hold endless negotiations.  Trump simply declares the war is over.

Let’s hope Trump and Putin have the wits to see this.
