Russia hopes that Donald Trump will win the US presidential election in 2024 and that with Ukraine, the great American military aid will run out and it will have to make concessions….
Europe and almost the rest of the world are convinced that the only outcome of the war in Ukraine will be Russia’s defeat, while public opinion in Russia itself is completely the opposite. Therefore, Jauns.lv asked the opinion leader – writer Jurgis Liepnieks, what in his opinion Russia’s defeat should be, so that the world feels safe after this war. Jurgis Liepnieks is not optimistic and says that there might be reason to expect a large-scale war in the future.
The writer Jurģis Liepnieks recalls history: “Germany lived with a sense of revenge after the First World War, and we all know very well how it all ended”.
We who live on the Russian border, and in Europe in general, will be able to feel safe when Russia is stripped of its nuclear weapons. If Adolf Hitler once had nuclear weapons, he would have used them without hesitation, and then I don’t know how everything would end, says the writer.
“But at the moment, the complete capitulation of Russia, like the capitulation of Germany or Japan after the Second World War, is unthinkable without a nuclear war,” Jurģis Liepnieks makes frightening predictions. We will live with the conflict and the problems caused by it in a very acute form for the next few years, there is no reason to expect a quick and complete victory of Ukraine or the West. There is reason to expect war in the foreseeable future, he says.
In his opinion, democracy and freedom of speech should be promoted, because democratic countries do not cause aggressive wars. But the United Nations (UN), which was founded after the last world war to prevent wars, has, according to Jurģis Liepnieks, become a completely useless organization.
“We can hope for some kind of coup or change of power in Russia. But this is not our plan, it cannot be relied upon. The plan is to weaken Russia more and more every week, every month until it breaks. This is the current plan,” said Jurģis Liepnieks.
