Ukraine War Likely to Rollover into 2026

 Apparently the Ukraine war will continue on to roll over into 2026.  Zelensky and Putin have antipathetic goals and are talking past one another. N.A.T.O. members preponderantly want to occupy Ukraine with proxies regardless of how the war concludes in order to make it an advanced base for potential future military engagements. President Trump hasn't a wood for the trees forest gumption to stop selling weapons to Ukraine in some form because of potential proplits. That decision is decisive, enabling Ukraine to hang on with the illusion they have a chance to fulfill N.A.T.O. goals of making Ukraine something like a Non-Official-Agent (NOC) of N.A.T.O. given certain defense assurances from N.A.T.O.; having things their way like a vast, sumptuous mountain of Whoppers. 

The final denouement of the conflict, if not nuclear war, may be Russian military forces finally stopping at the Dnepr with extreme global tension the zeitgeist, on the brink of World War Three, with a cease-fire agreed to by both sides (three or four sides including Donald Trump and N.A.T.O.-Europe) settling nothing. That would be comparable to the armistice at the end of World War One between Germany and the allies, that set the machinery for W.W. Two into motion. When those atop the leader pole are in conflict everyone below feels the pain.

Of course it would be a far more complex post-war situation with something like a Star Wars Revenge of the Clones, A.I. General Intelligence, Drone Wars economy building to an unbounded, non-recognizable anomic, protracted adverse economic circumstance in complete disregard for the need to transition to a global new foundation of ecological-economic synergy.

Two Stooges (not three) Meet in Anchorage Friday for Beer and to End Ukraine War; Sorta, Possibly

 Presidents Trump and Putin will meet in Anchorage this Friday without the presence of the notorious political lunatic of Ukraine named Big Vlod Zelinsky to piss on the two-man collusion to end a war.

The Ukraine war makes a lotta money for a lotta people supplying weapons. I am not one of those so I don't care if they stop. There is the vermin factor to consider. The conflict seems like an activity of human vermin biting one another.  It could lead to nuclear war and that would be fine with me if the rats were the only victims. Because atomic war would involve a lot of other people including me, I would like the vermin to quit protracting the war and return the world to a less precipitous level of brinksmanship that can be found with universal peace.

All that wonderful killing technology is employed to fight over real estate that could be peacefully divided. Russia gets Crimea, Donetsk, Donbas and a few other areas and Ukraine gets to keep the land west of the Dnepr beyond Judge Roy Beans Saloon (if they built the replica south of Kiev finally).

Trump and Putin should agree to end the war together with Trump stopping any support including Starlink, weapons, cash, loans, military advice, Satellite pictures etc that keep Ukraine  a bellicose belligerent and Putin stipulating that he would go any farther militarily than the agreed on real estate east of the Dnepr. Obviously N.A.T.O. should stay out of Ukraine and should repay then United States for all of the money it sent there since the Clinton era.

Human idiots that cannot find a way to conclude the war should just find a high cliff overlooking the sea, take their armies with them and run off of it together, everyone wearing a 30 lb lead weight belt. The float test of truth could determine the moral victor in the Ukraine war, and those survivors could have their pick of a good acre of land on whatever side of the Dnepr they choose and a free, self-service burial plot of `1/4/ acre with that generous space for civilian relatives lost in the conflict, adjoining their one-acre mini-ranches.

The President and Congress Seek Brainless Continuation of Ukraine War

 The Congress and President Trump are moving toward more weapons for Ukraine and more sanctions on Russia as of that would do anything besides protract the conflict another year or more. The President apparently never had a realistic grasp of the history of the conflict and simply believed his charisma and power could end the conflict and develop a peaceful, prosperous bilateral economic relationship with Russia. Yet Mr Trump is no Reagan and lacks the faith and optimism, much less realism required to go against the conventional, dysfunctional war policies of the rich weapons manufacture and sales sycophants in government.

If the President actually wanted to end the war he should elucidate what his position is regarding a permanent peaceful resolution of the conflict. Presently his ideas seem to be rather secret. Without public disclosure of what his criteria are there is no reason to trust him at all as competent peace developer with Russia.

Since Vietnam the United States generally escalates conflicts and continues them indefinitely at great cost in lives and dollars, and usually without a successful outcome. Congress and Presidents seem to be content with copious bloodshed and trillions added to public debt while letting the conflict evolve to a bad end. There is no reason to believe the Ukraine war will turn out any different, and President Trump seems to have lost his energy for peaceful thought in preference for the usual bloody approach Democrats love.

There are real land settlements that need be made public and understood. Russia’s requirements are well known in that respect. They also want a normalized international situation without sanctions, reparations demands and war crimes trials after a permanent peace if actualized.

Russia wants a pacified West Ukraine that does not join N.A.T.O. and caps its military to a defense force of some kind comparable to that of Japan after the end of World War Two I would guess.

To recognize and accept those basic conditions is requisite for peace. Otherwise the disingenuity of President Trump with someone to blame in Moscow turning about to accept new sanctions and weapons renders the administration even more untrustworthy internationally. Seeming to be deceptive and untruthful is not a way to bring anyone to have enough trust to bring a realistic, peaceful end to the war.

The President’s strong point against war was a moral point in his favor, and frankly he can use moral points in his favor. Instead the President and Majority Leader Thune seem to be airhead sycophants of death and moral corruption insofar as they could strongly advocate clear and acceptable terms to Russia that would bring an end to the war next month. Dragging out that conflict the rest of the year may be appealing to the Antifah crowd and various elements of what has evolved into a neo-terrorist Democrat Party domestically yet it takes Republicans down a dark, descending path of Stygian, chthonic realms of moral darkness through tunnels of political doom cheered on by amoral, godless ghouls of original sin that the right-minded do not know or love.

The West is half of the problem; and 100% of the cause of war from the Russian point of view. Russia is pushing back against the western push eastward in the only way that works with the west; force. Realpolitik adapted for the present would acknowledge that and draw a line in Ukraine that each side can live with.
