The proposed "Ukrainian Reparations" are driven by the Americans and their stooges and deserve to be repudiated. Why?

Because the Ukraine War itself was deliberately provoked by the Americans as a geopolitical trap for Russia. This is the 1000 pound gorilla-in-the-living room issue that the (fake) Free Press--especially the Anglophone media around the world--deny and cover up.

The Americans are using Ukraine to pursue what John Mearsheimer has called the Bait and Bleed strategy, in which you bait your enemy into fighting against another country in order to weaken or bleed this enemy, while you stand on the sidelines above the fray of the conflict that you deliberately instigated and benefit from.

Russia Has Been Baited into a Repeat of the Afghan Trap: First Time as Tragedy, Second Time as Sickening Farce

Mearsheimer explicitly writes about this Bait and Bleed stratagem in his book, The Tragedy of Great Power Politics.

Bait and Bleed is exactly the Machiavellian strategy that America is guilty of with respect to the Ukraine War--just as it was the strategy that America deployed against both Iran and Iraq during the 1980s Iran-Iraq War in which the Americans would cynically support both these countries against each other.

And Bait and Bleed is the strategy that America is desperate to deploy against China with Taiwan playing the role of Ukraine 2.0.

If Ukraine wants reparations, it should go and demand them of their American Overlords, who are ultimately guilty of instigating this war to begin with.
