“The demographic crisis is here to stay.” kunne man læse i Le Monde om situationen i Ukraine
Two years after the start of the massive Russian-led invasion, Ukraine’s population is continuing to decline, with no immediate hope of reversing the trend. The country’s population is currently estimated to be between 33 and 35 million, but no precise count can be done due to the Russian military occupation of 20% of its territory.
Mændene ligger på slagmarken, kvinderne og børnene, ca 6 mio., er rejst til Polen og Vesteuropa, kun de gamle er tilbage. “Indeed, the longer the conflict goes on, the greater the likelihood that exiles will settle in their host country” Og det var sidste år, 26/2-2024 at det stod sådan til. Siden hen er det kun gledet længere ned ad bakke, som Vesten har gejlet deres naivistiske befolkninger op til en tro på, at flere wunderwaffe fra overskudslagrene kombineret med heroiske ukrainske mænd kæmpende i bare overkroppe kan vende udmattelseskrigen med den 7 gange større modstander.
“Ukraine’s Kursk front has initiated a rapid unscheduled disassembly, or in other words, a catastrophic collapse” skiver Simplicius. På X profilen NewRulesGeopolitics har de samlet en del filmklip, der viser, hvorledes droner dræber soldater og smadrer køretøjer. Herhjemme siger vores statsminister at fred er farligere end krig.
To exhaust Russia in a long war, the goal was to ensure that the Russians and Ukrainians kill each other for as long as possible. The US Secretary of Defence Lloyd Austin outlined the US objective in the Ukraine War as weakening its strategic adversary: “We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine”.[1] In late March 2022, Zelensky revealed in an interview with the Economist: “There are those in the West who don’t mind a long war because it would mean exhausting Russia, even if this means the demise of Ukraine and comes at the cost of Ukrainian lives”.[2]
The Israeli and Turkish mediators confirmed that Russia and Ukraine agreed to the terms of a peaceful settlement in Istanbul, in which Russia would withdraw its forces and Ukraine would restore its neutrality. However, why would the US and its allies accept that Ukraine return to neutrality, when the alternative was to use the powerful proxy army they had built in Ukraine to bleed and weaken Russia?[3]
The Turkish Foreign Minister acknowledged that there are “NATO member states that want the war to continue—let the war continue and Russia gets weaker. They don’t care much about the situation in Ukraine”.[4] The former Israeli Prime Minister also confirmed that the US and UK “blocked” the peace agreement as there was a “decision by the West to keep striking Putin” to destroy a strategic rival.[5] The retired German General, Harald Kujat, a former head of the German Bundeswehr and former chairman of the NATO Military Committee, also argued that this was a war deliberately provoked by NATO, while the US and UK sabotaged all paths to peace “to weaken Russia politically, economically and militarily”.[6] Interviews with American and British leaders in March 2022, revealed that a decision had been made for “the conflict to be extended and thereby bleed Putin” as “the only end game now is the end of Putin regime”.[7]
Alle der argumenterer for en fredsløsning smædes som Putins lakajer, fortsætter han, men dette argument “is based on the false premise that the war began as a territorial dispute”. Der er tre grupperinger i debatten om krigen i Ukraine. Der er dem, der ikke kunne forudse udviklingen, som synes at være de samme som dem, der er mest opsatte på at fortsætte krigen, som har sværest ved at forstå at krigen forlængst er tabt (deres realitetssans er helt i skoven) og så har det mest parodiske syn på krigen, hvor Rusland og Putin er i rollen som Hitler. “People seem to need a hysteria. We pivoted right from Covid-is-going-to-kill-everyone to Russia-is-going-to-conquer-all-of-Europe.” skrev David Sacks således og Mike Chernovich tilføjede
When life becomes too comfortable for people, they create problems.
Notice it’s not factory or construction workers hyperventilating over Russia or climate change.
It’s coddled laptop workers and bored college kids.
Så er der dem der kunne forudse udviklingen, som John Mearsheimer, John Kennan, Marie Krarup og John Pilger, der i 2014 i Guardian skrev, at “since 1945, the US has tried to overthrow more than 50 governments, many of them democratically elected; grossly interfered in elections in 30 countries; bombed the civilian populations of 30 countries; used chemical and biological weapons; and attempted to assassinate foreign leaders.”
The name of “our” enemy has changed over the years, from communism to Islamism, but generally it is any society independent of western power and occupying strategically useful or resource-rich territory, or merely offering an alternative to US domination. The leaders of these obstructive nations are usually violently shoved aside, such as the democrats Muhammad Mossedeq in Iran, Arbenz in Guatemala and Salvador Allende in Chile, or they are murdered like Patrice Lumumba in the Democratic Republic of Congo. All are subjected to a western media campaign of vilification – think Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez, now Vladimir Putin.
Washington’s role in Ukraine is different only in its implications for the rest of us. For the first time since the Reagan years, the US is threatening to take the world to war. With eastern Europe and the Balkans now military outposts of Nato, the last “buffer state” bordering Russia – Ukraine – is being torn apart by fascist forces unleashed by the US and the EU. We in the west are now backing neo-Nazis in a country where Ukrainian Nazis backed Hitler.
Having masterminded the coup in February against the democratically elected government in Kiev, Washington’s planned seizure of Russia’s historic, legitimate warm-water naval base in Crimea failed. The Russians defended themselves, as they have done against every threat and invasion from the west for almost a century.
“According to the great whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, a silent coup has taken place in Washington and rampant militarism now rules.” skriver han videre, hvilket er den trejde gruppe, dem der kunne forudse krigen og pressede på for at få den
