Episode 1335

Let’s recap: the United States of America has been planning and implementing NATO’s eastward expansion in Europe for years in order to strike at Russia, they stage a coup in Ukraine, they begin a multi-year ethnic cleansing, a special military operation is launched to counter this, then the Americans drag the whole of Europe into war, they funnel in an impressive amount of money, weapons, and mercenaries, they impose sanctions and block markets, but the war is going badly, so they change their strategy, leaving this big mess to Europe. Meanwhile, the illegitimate Ukrainian president complains to everyone, wearing the same green sweater for three years, asking for more money, more weapons, more armies, more of everything, but the Americans are now playing a different game, and so it all ends with a sad breakup of the most beautiful political love story of the last thirty years.

After 1,335 days of unified network broadcasting (since February 22, 2022), something was bound to go wrong.

It took two and a half hours of discussion to see Trump tell Zelensky that he would not send him the new missiles he had seen at the toy store because the child did not deserve them. Trump had already specified, after his meeting with Putin in Anchorage, that he wanted to resolve the Ukrainian issue quickly, without continuing a war that was extremely costly and no longer convenient for America from all points of view. But Zelensky continued, appealing to European leaders to convince Trump to shell out a few billion more on weapons. The result? The European vassals were summoned to the Oval Office to receive a reprimand from the lord.

Now Zelensky, after his chat with Trump, is once again seeking European support. He called Keir Starmer, who offered to mediate a new negotiation with Washington, along the lines of the 20-point ace agreement for Palestine.

He spoke to NATO Secretary Mark Rutte, who proposed a follow-up with European security advisers. But once again, what Zelensky is likely to get is just a pat on the back and even more isolation. Trump did not deliver the Tomahawk missiles he had promised and did not mention new arms supplies, while he spoke of his willingness to meet Putin in Budapest, without anyone else.

This breaks with the rhetoric supported by the American press, which is urging Trump to make a strange peace with war, hoping to strike Russia in a lethal manner so as to dissuade it from continuing the conflict. The speed of peace is not measured in joules of missiles, quite the contrary.

What’s more, continuing to deliver weapons to Ukraine risks hurting America, which is not really in a position to guarantee a constant supply in the event of conflict, given the acute microchip crisis and the collapse of the dollar. Russia certainly does not stand to lose, as the American president himself pointed out during the meeting, given its excellent economy.

It is Ukraine that stands to lose, for no reason. It stands to lose because of the demographic disaster, with – according to some estimates – 1.7 million deaths, and it stands to lose because of the political situation, which is totally devastated, with a president who has arbitrarily decided to remain in office despite the end of his (illegitimate) term, as well as the economic situation, which was already dire before the conflict. How long will the madmen in Kiev want to continue this mass suicide? Because, if it continues like this, no one will want Ukraine after the conflict, no one will want to invest in rebuilding a territory that has been so badly damaged.

The problem is always the same

Because, dear readers, the problem is always the same: the United States of America. Whether the president is called Biden or Trump, the problem remains. It is the American mentality, that arrogance and arrogance that are imposed as a style in both favorable and unfavorable moments, that desire to impose oneself by force at any cost, having to prove that one is stronger. There is not much that can be done about these bullies of international relations, except to adopt the style suggested by Asian wisdom: ignore them, leave them aside, so that they understand for themselves that they are making a mistake.

Ukraine trusted America without studying the previous conflicts that the overseas tyrant had already supported: in all of them, the US used local actors to further its own interests, then discarded them and continued to pursue only its own interests. The result? Some wars were won, others lost, but in each of them, the US ultimately played alone.

Zelensky can now only hope for convincing mediation from his European friends, or he can try to invent some new fake international humanitarian case just before the meeting in Budapest in order to ruin the appointment. He certainly can no longer exercise the charm of the tramp begging at the court of his shipowner.

Trump’s communication style is to ridicule his opponents, joking and playing around constantly in a mixture of seriousness and hilarity, making his true intentions incomprehensible, which creates a lot of misunderstandings and makes it annoying to deal with him. At the end of the meeting, Trump posted a message on Truth emphasizing the need for Zelensky to sign a peace agreement, avoiding further military commitments: reading between the lines, this means that Zelensky must renounce what he has said to date, stepping aside and ending this conflict by acquiescing to Russia’s demands. This message was also expressed very clearly by the nice tie worn by Secretary of Defense Peter Hegseth, with white, blue, and red stripes, just like the Russian flag. It was not a protocol tie, but, as we know, protocols are made to be broken these days.

What the well-known Ukrainian comedian will do is still unknown. He will certainly have to wait to write his letter to Santa Claus asking for those beautiful missiles again. In the meantime, he will have to devote himself to negotiating other goods with his European counterparts, who are terrified by the looming war they have chosen and have no idea how to carry on with.

By the way: someone should tell Zelensky’s stylists that the black suit he wore during his meeting with Trump is only worn at funerals in formal male attire. And Trump complimented him on his jacket. I’m not a superstitious person, but I don’t think that’s a good sign.
