Zelensky is on a tour in America, walking with his chest out, reassuring his allies that he has a Plan for Victory in his pocket. After a memorable speech at the UN, he’s about to present the details of his foolproof plan to bend Russia to the frail Biden and his gun-toting VP. Between one show and the next, Zelensky has also visited weapons factories and autographed missiles among beaming lobbyists and politicians on a leash. After all, business is booming, but the problem is at the front, and a plan to find a solution would really hit the spot. Unfortunately, early leaks suggest that Zelensky’s plan is just the same old reheated nonsense. Zelensky has squandered all the weapons and money we’ve given him, and having run out, he’s invented this performance about a plan to restock. Call it fundraising or begging, at this point, we’re his ATM and his trusted arms supplier.
Zelensky wants missiles capable of reaching Putin’s dacha, another wagonload of cash to allow the surviving Ukrainians to put something in their stomachs, to be admitted to Europe at record speed despite being a collapsing state, and, above all, he seems to want a seat at NATO’s table. It’s as if even he hasn’t understood the real causes of the war and has, in the end, fallen for his own propaganda. Yet, it’s not complicated. NATO was created to contain the Soviet Union, but over the years, it expanded eastward, picking up the pieces of its historic enemy one by one. The problem is that it didn’t stop at Ukraine, a Soviet offshoot for a thousand years, ignored Putin’s warnings, and ended up provoking Russia’s response to prevent Western missiles from being placed a few kilometers from Moscow. So, a reaction, not an aggression.
And certainly with questionable methods, but it’s as if Putin had tried to infiltrate Canada and place missiles aimed at Washington. We’d already be back in the Stone Age. To get out of the Ukrainian quagmire, a real plan is needed. Military analysts who pragmatically count men and resources say that the situation at the front is dire. The Russians are advancing slowly but steadily, with hundreds of deaths each day, millions of displaced people, entire provinces in ruins and without power, and they don’t see how the decimated Ukrainian army can respond. The recipe of the geniuses who govern us is to keep throwing fuel on the fire by sending weapons and money, but the risk is that nothing will be left of Ukraine, and we’ll spiral into a nuclear escalation. Moscow is openly discussing it now, and as U.S. colonies, even countries like Italy would be drawn into nuclear scenarios of a final world war.
Throwing fuel on the fire is so absurd that it sounds suspicious. Zelensky might, in fact, have realized that the only way he can win the war is by forcing the West to fight it for him. And that could be his real plan, to drag us into it. With the geniuses who govern us falling for it instead of working toward a diplomatic solution that leads to Ukraine’s military neutrality, a smart accession to the European Community, and, therefore, peace. We need politicians, not soldiers, and we’re really in bad shape. So much so that the one who might prevent the irreparable could be a surprise card: Trump. In his rally script, he has quite a few lines about Ukraine. He’s totally against the war and has promised a thousand times that as soon as he’s elected, he’ll call Putin and fix everything. Trump won’t meet Zelensky during his American tour and has not spared him his venomous jabs, saying that even a bad deal would’ve been better than the current disaster. And Trump is not alone; the so-called European sovereignist right-wing parties are mostly against the war in Ukraine. It’s not a matter of principle; they just consider Putin one of their own and detest the liberal, left-wing establishment, which, both in Washington and Europe, still listens to Zelensky and keeps throwing fuel on the fire, risking burning us all.
