A winning strategy to end Russia’s war against Ukraine
As with West Germany, which joined NATO in 1955, NATO’s defense guarantee would apply only to that part of Ukrainian territory under control of the Ukrainian government. The United States should reject Russia’s demand for forced neutrality and de facto disarmament for Ukraine.
Same status for annexed territories possible as with crimea.
As a NATO member, Ukraine would commit to restore its territorial integrity within its internationally recognized borders through peaceful and diplomatic means. Before its accession, allies would take additional steps to integrate Ukraine into the Alliance, in particular by offering Ukraine a permanent seat at the North Atlantic Council and a Ukrainian general a seat at the Military Committee.
The rest is all fuck the EU, and US will do the bare minumum.
The United States and its allies need a new policy of containment of Russia. This also includes maintaining hold on the immobilized Russian sovereign assets and restrictions on technology, and caution in lifting sanctions. There should be no return to reliance on Russian energy or other resources. Allies should be prepared to intensify economic pressure and make Russia pay the price should it violate ceasefire terms.
This leaves it open to Ukraine to try to attain advantages militarily (oh but its not us, its the local rebel groups, with their hate towards the russian invaders…) until it has gained full Nato membership, at which point all Nato countries would commit to restore its territorial integrity “through peaceful means”.
So its partisan warfare until the point where europe permanently is willing to fuck itself as part of its permanent political NATO commitment to restore the territorial integrity of Ukraine. A THING WHICH IS NOT MILITARILY ATTAINABLE FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE. (30 years, then I dont care anymore.)
Something that only the University of Michigan could come up with.… 8006kms away.
edit: No, wait, wait - this gets better! Hey Japan, and the Philippines, can I interest you in a NATO membership? We are the transatlantic union, that politically fights for the full territorial integrity of Ukraine! Hey, where are you running? No, no - wait, Ukraine is not a full member yet, they can still attack russia trough covert means and, … Helloo!? Stop! Stop!
