Enligt RAND organisationen som är en del av USA:s försvarsdepartement är man stolta över att meddela att det är de som är huvudansvariga och styr kriget eftersom de 2018-2019 gjorde en militärstrategisk rapport där man steg för steg går igenom hela operationen kring kriget i ukraina.
I rapporten står att läsa om alla vapen man har skickat och kommer att skicka till ukraina och alla sanktioner som ska göras samt att oljan och gasen ska stoppas från ryssland till europa mm. Nordstream någon?
