The war between Ukraine and Russia has always been, in reality, a long time coming proxy war. Whistleblowers like George Papadopoulos revealed how the Russian collusion during the Trump administration was actually a setup by intelligence agencies to facilitate a war between Russia and the US under the claim of election interference—interference that did not take place. Now, reports have come forward confirming that US intelligence has been waging a shadow war against Russia since 2014. Congress must investigate NOW, call for all the names involved in this operation, defund the CIA, and get the United States out of the Ukraine war NOW.

On Sunday, The New York Times published a rare US admission that US intelligence has not only been instrumental in Ukraine’s wartime decision-making but has also established and financed high-tech command-and-control spy centers, and was doing so long before the Feb. 24 Russian invasion, two years ago.

According to Zero Hedge, The New York Times admitted that the program was established a decade ago and spans three different American presidents. The Times says the CIA program to modernize Ukraine’s intelligence services has “transformed” the former Soviet state and its capabilities into “Washington’s most important intelligence partners against the Kremlin today.”

This means that the CIA is largely responsible for the effectiveness of the recent spate of attacks, which have included direct drone hits on key oil refineries and energy infrastructure. Without the CIA interference and involvement, Ukraine would have had no way to resist the Russians. The CIA maintained 12 different spy bases in Ukraine, aiding their government in creating this war for the better part of a decade.

Congress must act now. The people of the United States demand transparency; we want NAMES, timelines, and investigations. How many wars have we not just inserted ourselves into but actively created? We have sent billions of dollars to Ukraine (most of which is likely put into the pockets of top leaders), endless resources, and other expenses, and to do what exactly? To fight a war that the CIA created? We the people have had enough of these games; we want justice, we want these intelligence agencies that work AGAINST the people and cause meaningless bloodshed to face the consequences. Congress, investigate the CIA’s involvement in creating the Russian/Ukraine war, release the names, DEFUND the CIA, and get the US out of Ukraine NOW!
