Ukraine President Zelensky is agitating to make Europe an enemy of the United States. Entirely thankless for the hundreds of billions of dollars of U.S. military and financial support the last several years he said at the Munich conference that he wants Europe to create its own army to defend itself because Europe may have policies ahead that conflict with those of the United States. Sounding somewhat like Hitler on the far right he seeks a militarization of Europe to counter what he understandably regards as a Russian threat.
Russia though, for realists, is simply recovering land it lost at the end of the Cold War 1.0 when the west divvied up the former Soviet Union. It seemed a time for new carpet bagging and Russia lost all of the Ukraine in the process. Realpolitik would always have been willing to concede half of the Ukraine to Russia and get on with regular political and economic partnership,
Zelensk’s approach to making the United States an enemy of Europe as soon as it quit sending hum hundreds of billions of dollars is a logical move toward reducing America’s standing in the world. Zelensky would like to divide and isolate the United States while creating a powerful Europe that would at any rate eventually normalize relations with the great Russia-China superpower partnership because they are located in Eurasia.
Zelensky’s desire to form a large European Army conflicts prima facie wit the present N.A.T.O. military. Presumably Zelensky would sever N.A.T.O. from its relationship with the United States and convert it into a European fascist refoundation suitable for war against Russia, China and the United States with himself as Fuhrer. Poland and Ukraine perhaps imagine themselves as a European superpower able to rule the former N.A.T.O. new fascist army.
Former President Biden’s lunatic policies of support for Ukraine cost the United States economically and damaged America’s economic position in the world. The BRIC nations are powerful competition for American production in all phases of industrial and technical production for what may be a divided world with the United States holding on to the short end of the stick.
The best tactic for the United States is to renormalize relations with Russia as quickly as possible and settle the Ukraine conflict with boundaries roughly along the Dnipro River. The U.S.A. can buy rare earth minerals from Russia if it needs to. America needs to be as god or better of a partner with Russia as is China if it wants to end up not being the odd man out facing a Euro Army Russia today. Russia is a threat of convenience for globalist lunatic war mongering politicians seeking power. Europeans should know that they can get far more through peace than they ever will through pursuit of conflict with the Russia-China proto super-state alliance.
