So, what can we take away from all of this?

The long-awaited plans we’ve theorized and brainstormed on since last year are finally resolving into view, where the West believes they can freeze the war Korean-DMZ style then insert their occupation KFOR troops to make sure Russia can never take Odessa, etc. As we said last time, they are even considering outlandishly absurd contortions to satisfy Putin’s demands, such as ‘stationing the bulk of the Ukrainian army somewhere in Europe’ in order to fulfill the “demilitarization” goals as per Putin’s Istanbul negotiations, which stated what Ukraine was allowed to have “on its territory”, technically speaking.

The problem is, Russia is in the driver’s seat and will not indulge such petty attempts to cozen and wheedle out a minor victory for Ukraine. As such, the only danger we can now expect is for the West to escalate in some brazen way should they finally realize Russia is not taking the bait. But we know neutered Europe has no political authority or consensus to act unilaterally, and at this point can only function like a pack of hyenas, if other major European states back each other’s ‘daring’ initiative.

Trump will have to walk a tight rope, as leading the push to rashly crash the gates with US troops will leave him looking like a warmonger, while doing nothing at all sullies his legacy with a mark of weakness akin to Biden’s Afghan withdrawal debacle. The best thing Trump can do, of course, is to dump Ukraine and blame the mess on Europe to salvage his ‘legacy’. There are rumors he can initiate a Ukrainian audit which will find grave corruption, giving him the justification to clear his name of it.

I would be very surprised if Trump was so foolish as to indulge the country which was central to the core movement to destroy him. Recall, virtually everything about the post-RussiaGate “Ukraine Scandal” conspiracy to destroy Trump originated from Ukraine, whether it was Ukrainian-born Colonel Vindman or the Burisma-Hunter Biden connections, etc. It was the snakepit and breeding ground for all the vipers out to get him. Surely he remembers this?

The fact is though, the longer the Ukrainian conflict goes on, the closer the European Union comes to the verge of collapse. The conflict is outright killing Europe by exposing its bought-off treasonous leaders as the populace-hating cretins they are, causing mass discontent and political breakdown, spurring revolutionary new impulses which will soon bulge out the foundation’s cracks
