/ world today news/ The strategy of the global West is to impose on Russia negotiations under unfavorable conditions and a post-war peace that would not leave it a chance to preserve its strategic security.
By fanning expectations of an impending Ukrainian offensive, the US, Europe and NATO could threaten Kiev’s long-term prospects, Bloomberg columnist Andreas Kluth worried early this morning. And he offers the West to use his well-known trick – double-mindedness: at the same time support Ukraine “as necessary” and… prepare for negotiations and concessions.
The idea with the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine was not a bad one, notes Kluth. Wait for the ground to thaw and the dirt to recede and then send the Ukrainians, “properly armed and trained,” to take over region after region.
„The only problem is how the Russians used that time.” admits the columnist. Russia, he said, spent those months not only creating “terrifying systems and fortifications” in the defensive lines, but also making arrests and “other ways of suppressing the resisting inhabitants’ (read – terrorist saboteurs).
And now it is far from a fact that the offensive of the armed forces of Ukraine will be successful – however, the West has made too many bets on it, the author believes.
„But what if the Ukrainians do not regain most of the territory by the summer? Does this mean that all those Leopard-2 and Challenger tanks were for nothing? Does this mean the West should strip Kiev of fighters in the next round?
The whip is crushed into despair.
And finds a “brilliant” solution. “The test not only of first-rate intelligence but also of strategic clarity is to hold two opposing ideas in mind while maintaining the ability to function”the author suggests.
Namely: on the one hand, the West should continue to support Ukraine, even if it looks like a cartoon warmonger. And at the same time – to prepare the issue for negotiations and concessions, even if they smell like capitulation of Kiev.
Not only the Bloomberg columnist understands that much in this war depends on the announced offensive of the armed forces of Ukraine and on the response of the armed forces of the Russian Federation.
Although far from all this, here Mr. Knuth lets it slip that “the war could drag on for years.” It is also clear that the strategy of the global West is to force negotiations on unfavorable terms and a post-war peace on Russia that will leave it no chance to maintain its strategic security.
It is equally obvious, however, that the West is no longer as confident of defeating Russia as it was a few months ago, and is forced to come up with increasingly complex “force majeure” strategies.
And the article in Bloomberg is another confirmation of this. Russia, for its part, must remember the main thing: for us, any kind of peace along the current line of military contact or even along the borders of the new subjects of the Russian Federation is unacceptable.
This will only mean another future war with much worse initial positions. We just need a complete victory.
