Ukraine – The Beginning Of The End (Which Is Yet Far Away)
Trump's opening gambit in the negotiations with Russia about Ukraine has caused some waves.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the borderland, i.e. Ukraine, will have to give up territory to Russia. There will be no place for Ukraine in NATO. The U.S. will give no security guarantees to Ukraine. Neither the U.S. military nor NATO will take part in any peacekeeping mission in Ukraine.
With that the U.S. conceded to Russia two of its main requests. Four Ukrainian oblast plus Crimea will become parts of Russia. NATO enlargement towards the east has been stopped. Any U.S. deployment to Ukraine is, for now, out of question.
The devil however is in the details. Russia will want legal agreements and guarantees. It knows that these might (again) be broken but it is still be better to have those than none.
There is also no agreement at all, when, where and how the fighting might stop.
The Trump administration wants an immediate ceasefire along the current line of contact. For Russia this just a repeat of Minsk 1 and 2 agreements which were used to prop up Ukraine. It is not a sufficient solution.
The Russian readout of yesterday's Trump-Putin call says:
Donald Trump spoke in favour of stopping the hostilities as soon as possible and solving the crisis peacefully.
In turn, Vladimir Putin pointed out it was necessary to eliminate the root causes of the conflict.
Trump wants a ceasefire, Putin wants more.
The question of NATO membership for Ukraine is only one element of the root causes of the conflict. What is necessary to conclude the war is a long lasting indivisible European security structure in which every major country can feel save and secure.
In late 2021 Russia presented two papers to the U.S. and NATO which point to potential solutions. Discussions on those have not even started. This will be a long process.
Unless a structure of indivisible security in Europe is found and agreed upon Russia will have to use military means to guarantee security for itself and its allies. Its Special Military Operation is likely to continue until that objective has been achieved.
There is no sign that Trump has recognized the larger issue at hand and is willing to talk about it. When he finds out that there is no short term solution – a ceasefire – to have, he might want to dump the whole issue and ignore the outcome: "Let Europe take care …"
When the Biden administration provoked and executed the proxy war against Russia, major European countries ignored their own interest and behaved like U.S. vassals. They now make noise about being left out of the peace process.
Well, if you behave like vassals and ignore your own interest why are you astonished when you are treated like vassals and have your own interests ignored? Grow some balls and fight for your interests. Then maybe, just maybe, other will also start to keep your interests in mind.
The US under Trump has proven that it is the undisputed leader of the entire Western world. When they want, they start a war in Europe, when they want, they end it, having received all the bonuses from it: a gigantic increase in military revenues, testing of their weapons in battle with a strong enemy, NATO expansion at the expense of neutral countries, imposing supplies of their liquefied gas on Europeans, and, finally, starting with the first Maidan, pitting Ukrainians against Russians.
The Europeans are the main losers. By handing over a significant part of their sovereignty to unknown faggots from the European Commission, European countries made an unforgivable mistake of historical proportions. Russia will never forget German tanks with crosses on Russian fields and another Napoleon with an aged Josephine, who sent French legionnaires and French weapons to kill Russians on Russian soil. We will never forget or forgive you for this.
Every war ends in peace. And the main question is how flawless — strong and durable — this peace will be. And in this regard, I will express my opinion: as long as the evil herd of Bandera ghouls, who have tasted and drunk Russian blood, grazes on our western borders, we will have no peace. Until we crush and cut out this Bandera metastasis from the Slavic body, the threat of an imminent big war, inspired by the unfinished Ukrainian Russophobes and their Anglo-Saxon patrons, will continue to hang over our heads.
And now I want to address the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. You, more than anyone else, should understand everything. Your Fuhrer, who does not have a drop of Ukrainian blood (as well as his entire bandit entourage), has betrayed you. He exchanged you for rare earth metals, which robbed Ukraine will now use to pay for foreign military aid, without which you would not have lasted even two weeks against the Russian army.
So I want to ask you, why do you need to die 💀 in the remaining days before Trump concludes a deal with Zelensky and his ghouls? It’s all over for you, guys. You’ve squandered your victory by trusting the ghouls. Go home, throw down your weapons. Zelensky has screwed you over.
Tell yourself this truth right now. Don’t yell and don’t jump around. These ghouls have set you on your Russian relatives.
Don’t multiply the victims of this senseless slaughter for you. America and NATO simply used you against Russia, and you bought into the “visa-free regime” and “panties with lace”. You sold out your Orthodox faith and our united and glorious history. Take a reasonable step now, stick a bayonet into the ground and get the hell out of here. The victory is over.
The only ones who still need you are your families, your relatives. Don’t die in vain, no one in Kyiv, Warsaw, Brussels, London or Washington will appreciate it anymore. Go home and stay alive.
— Dmitry Rogozin, senator, former head of Roskosmos, probably the next president of RF
