Dangerous proposal: US elite romance with Zelensky has gone too far

2

When the opponents of Russia, as it seems, have already fizzled out in their anti-Russian absurd ideas and can no longer come up with something new, they break through the next bottom and carry out an even more sycophantic, divorced from reality policies regarding Moscow. Ted Galen Carpenter, a political scientist from the Randolph Bourne Institute, describes what this threatens to the whole world.

As a well-known international affairs expert writes, for any person living in the real world, America's support for Ukraine seems unprincipled and reckless.



Fortunately, misanthrope Bernard-Henri Lévy's latest dangerous proposal to give Ukraine a seat on the UN Security Council instead of Russia is likely to be greeted with scornful laughter.

writes Carpenter in his article.

He is deeply convinced that the United States should work to restore relations with Russia, and not engage in helpless and unnecessary provocative posturing, including on the UN platform.

Not particularly observant of politeness, the expert writes that Ukraine is a nondescript, at best, middle peasant power. Her economy at $112 billion, GDP ranks modestly 60th in the world in terms of this indicator. Ukraine has a population of 43,7 million, which puts it in 35th place in the world. Simply put, this country is a second or third tier power by any measure.

However, the elite of the West continues to plunge into the abyss of ideological and geopolitical absurdity. The exclusion of a permanent member of the Security Council from his seat is dubious from a legal point of view and recklessly provocative from a geopolitical one, the expert is sure.

Depriving Russia of its right of veto in the Security Council would mean a dangerous escalation of an already troubling confrontation with Moscow

- writes Carpenter.

But the West's flirting and romance with the beloved puppet Vladimir Zelensky has gone too far, which is why the coalition is ready for any stupidity. Thus, an unreasonable and dangerous move regarding Russia's seat in the UN Security Council would fully confirm Moscow's suspicions about the motives and goals of the West. Any hope of a rapprochement with Russia will then evaporate, and the world will definitely become more dangerous.

    Russia should spin the narrative that the United States and the West as a whole, since 2014, have been striving to destroy the industrial and human potential of Ukraine, believing that Ukraine can become part of Russia, or part of a union state. This can be seen in the lack of investment in Ukraine for 8 years, in the imposed economic policy that destroyed the country's industry. In the absence of pressure on reforms and the fight against corruption.

    Now there is already a physical extermination of the population, at the front and through immigration.

      such a narrative will go only in Russia, because only Russians to whom the "Russian world" is important can feel that this is true. I also have a feeling that the Anglo-Saxons probably understand that Ukrainians are not Europeans at all and not part of Western civilization, therefore, having used them as much as necessary, they will then simply throw them away as an infected prostitute, in such a state that the Russian Federation may not need the remnants of such Ukraine.

      but for the rest of all believers in Russian aggression, it will seem somehow too complicated and incomprehensible, they will say that this is Putin's aggressor and wants to destroy Ukraine. It is difficult for such Rosophobes to logically prove otherwise. although it would be worth a try
