Apparently there are Americans and some in political positions of leadership that never were willing to accept the existence of a peaceful and prosperous Russia after the end of the Soviet Union. They felt that Russia would continue forward the communist problems and legacy of so many regional communist revolutions around the world. That inability to have trust in peace doomed Europe to the largest war since the Second World War when the Soviet Union was an ally of the United States against Nazi Germany.
Stealing defeat from the jaws of victory is something Americans have done before. One of the more notable political faux pas was the Eisenhower administration’s unwillingness to trust the Iranian parliament to select a Prime Minister who would support principles of democracy instead of communist and therefore choosing to sponsor a coup to remove the prime minister and install an Emperor over Iran. Muslim nations do not favor communism anywhere and the decision was a consequence of misunderstanding of history in the U.S. administration. The United States, given President Putin’s willingness to restart relations with the U.S.A. should not fail to give peace and prosperity a chance one more time.
Those political individuals that choose to expand N..N.A.T.O. eastward toward Russia created a very real empirical threat to Russian existence. The Ukraine was supposed to remain neutral along with several other formerly Warsaw Pact nations. Instead N.A.T.O. grew larger and larger becoming an obvious future adversary of Russia and perhaps attempting to coerce it into submission to Western hegemony. A belligerent relationship is not a neutral one. Russia needed to be accepted as a normal state with friendly trade relations growing rather than as a problem to be defeated in detail over the decades.
Bad relations with Russia promotes all of America’s semi-adversaries. It endangers America’s world position in trade, environment and security. It creates possible nuclear, chemical, biological and A.I. wars when the only alternative is peace and prosperity. It is important to consider real politic and the demographic and environmental challenges of nations in the world that American leadership feels enmity toward. China is a good example of a nation that has had to implement strict birth control for several decades in order to keep its population from going from 1.5 billion to three or four billion. A democracy as chaotic as America’s has been the past eight years could be devastating if replicated in China. Many nations don’t have the luxury of printing up 36 trillion dollars of public debt to cover expenses when there is a cash shortage to fund government.
President Trump should act soon to be the adult supervisor in the D.C. day care center full of Democrats and renormalize relations with Russia. I suggest the Dnepr River as the new border with a five mile wide tax free trade zone on either side with a Marshall Plan for the entirety of Ukraine getting underway to rebuild the shattered land with ecological economic paradigmata.
Elon Musk explained the Trump team plan would freeze in place borders set by where Russian military forces in Ukraine are, have a British peacekeepers on a DMZ and stop Ukraine from joining N.A.T.O. for 20 years. Russia won't accept that plan because they want West Ukraine to be neutral forever rather than having a belligerent N.A.T.O. on its border in 20 years with a weapons build up before then (with western military supplies stockpiling).
The plan says nothing about ending sanctions on Russia and would probably destabilize the effort to normalize relations with Russia as soon as possible. British 'peacekeepers' is something of a joke. Britain was a primary driver of aggression against Russia and having the British military on Russia's border would be like having Nancy Pelosi provide security for G.O.P. headquarters. Who thought of that bizarre idea? Do they want Hezbollah to provide security for Israel's Gaza border too?
