trying hard to broker a peace agreement, and minimize loss of life as well as prevent harm in the medium and long term:
Here is what a shunned geostrategist looks like listing the exact opinion article where positioning of the US is handed over to the leadership of the Ukraine. In those panels you make sure to also add at least one structural extremist to discredit the headliner. This is the second video where I see this happening.
I %&&%§ THIS SOCIETY.
Why? Because the position of the Ukraine, trying to get back territorial integrity including the Krim, can be pinpointed to a time, when FLIPPING NEWSMEDIA PUSHED HEADLINE ARTICLES ON SELENSKYJ CALLING FOR PEACE, WITH THE BYLINE TERRITORiAL INTEGRATY HAS TO BE KEPT INTACT, WHEN EVEN LISTENING TO THE PUBLIC POSITION OF THE ENEMY HAS BECOME SOMETHING WORTH RIDICULING PEOPLE OVER (“Should russia be blackballed?”) NOT TO MENTION NEWS MEDIA INVENTING POSITIONS OF - WE DONT POST THE STATEMENTS MADE IN THE SECURITY COUNCIL, BECAUSE WE WOULD HAVE TO PUBLISH RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA, THEN PUBLISHING ENTIRE WRITEUPS OF SELENSKYj EVENING SPEECHES WITHOUT CONTEXT, FULL TO THE BRIM WITH flipping PROPAGANDA MESSAGING (OBJECTIVELY, BASED ON CONSTRUCTION OF ARGUMENTS), THEN flipping, NOT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN THE HARDLINE STANCE OF US HAWKS, which - btw. glad you asked, by now is -- we want to beat Russia in Ukraine, even if it takes 3-5 years, full stop, also Selenskyj wouldnt survive being seen as ‘handing over a victory to Putin’ largely because of the political right in the Ukraine, and Selenskyj wouldnt survive being dropped by the US, which has no interest in ending the war early, USED AS a flipping GUNG HO GAMBIT IN POLITICAL POSTERING, AND THE BENEFITS OF ACTUALLY KEEPING COMMUNICATION CHANNELS OPEN IS NOW FORBIDDEN, WHILE SWITCHING FROM “we want peace” to WEAPONS, WEAPONS, WEAPONS, AS SOON AS THE OTHER SIDE SHOWS ANY SIGNS OF EVEN POTENTIAL WEAKNESS (COORDINATED RETREAT).
We now have bully on the schoolyard behavior as the only permissible stance one can currently hold, while rearmament continues for the next large confrontation. With one side suggesting, not to talk to the other side, until they are driven out of the country. While the other side needs just one more major city - preferably functioning and not flattened - to reduce Ukraine to a landlocked state until the last of the occupiers military units have left the country.
Again, time horizon 3-5 years (two, if Putin gets toppled in 2024) if at all. 12% of world food production (measured in calories) not available to the developing world (because of uneven distribution, thats quite a bit more horrific than it sounds), OPEC that has confirmed that it cant pick up the entire Delta if there is a western ban on russian oil (7mio barrels a day cant be compensated, 50 mio people in the region falling into poverty, Ukraine currently at 50% loss of GDP, thats before they might become a landlocked country… And many more dead people incoming. This game of chicken sucks.
