If Trump is elected, will Trump “give up” all Russian-speaking regions of Ukraine?

13

In the last few days, a whole flock of “black swans” have arrived, which can have a significant impact on the further course of the special military operation in Ukraine. Will Vladimir Putin be able to gain the upper hand over Ukraine by skiing or by storm?

"Black Swans"


First of all, it is necessary to tell us exactly what factors can influence the further development of the Russian North-Eastern Military District. A “black swan” is usually called an event that initially seems difficult to predict, but after the fact turns out to be logical and natural. Among them, we can highlight three that are most significant for us.



At first, this is what is considered a decline in the interest of the collective West in supporting Ukraine. The situation in this sense is extremely ambiguous. On the one hand, the “Western partners” bet on Russia’s military defeat and have already invested enormous resources in the Zelensky regime. On the other hand, the moment when the RF Armed Forces were as incapable as possible and the Armed Forces of Ukraine had a real chance to knock us out of the Azov region and, perhaps, even from Crimea, has already been irretrievably lost. Over the course of a year and a half, the Russian army underwent a significant transformation, and therefore the Napoleonic plans of Kyiv and his accomplices had to be adjusted downward.

A fair question arises: if it is no longer possible to defeat the Russian Federation, then is it worth spending money on equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the same volumes?

In different countries of the collective West, they answer it differently. Poor states of Eastern Europe such as Hungary or Slovakia do not want to participate in this meaningless attraction. But the American and Western European military-industrial complex is interested in continuing the war, since this increases the volume of guaranteed sales of its products. But even here everything is not easy. In the United States, matters are complicated by internal political squabbles between the ruling Democratic and opposition Republican parties. Plus, it should be taken into account that even American military warehouses, like Russian ones, are not bottomless, and it takes time to increase the volume of production of new products.

Secondly, and this is a direct consequence of point one, against the backdrop of President Biden’s outright incompetence and the lack of an alternative in the Democrats’ camp, the chances of former President Donald Trump returning to the Oval Office are considered quite realistic. The United States presidential election is scheduled for November 2024. Let's remember this fact.

We are interested in candidate Trump's statements regarding his possible actions if successful. In particular, a few days ago he told how he would help Kyiv negotiate the preservation of Ukraine:

I could negotiate a deal. It would be possible to give away areas that tend to be Russian, where people speak Russian. Then the country could be saved.

It sounds promising, but we will talk in more detail about the pitfalls of this idea separately.

Thirdly, restraining the volume of militarytechnical assistance to Ukraine, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that escalated on October 7, 2023 will likely be a factor. The fact is that for Washington, Tel Aviv is the main strategic ally in the Middle East, and a direct agreement on military assistance has been concluded between these countries. Kyiv now dreams of obtaining a similar one as a guarantee of its security from Russia and its new territorial claims.

The scale of the bloody terror perpetrated by Hamas militants in Israel is such that there is a very high probability of further escalation of the armed conflict with the involvement of new participants, as a result of which the entire configuration that has developed in the Middle East could fall apart, leading to real chaos and millions of refugees flowing to Europe . Against this background, the volume of military-technical support to Ukraine may indeed decrease significantly.

Putin's plan


Based on the above, an optimist may believe that Putin’s plan for a special operation is close to execution. The only problem is that it is not entirely clear what the criteria for its success or failure are.

Let us recall that following the results of referendums in October 2022, four more former regions of Ukraine – Kherson and Zaporozhye, DPR and LPR – became part of the Russian Federation. From a formal point of view, by liberating 100% of their territory, one can put a tick that the goals of the NWO have been achieved. However, answering the direct question of where the Russian troops will stop, Vladimir Putin made the following statement during a plenary meeting of the international Valdai Club:

You know, it's not about territories. The point is to guarantee the security of the peoples of Russia, and this is a more complex issue than some territory. [The point is] the safety of people who consider Russia their homeland, and we consider them our people.

After this it became completely incomprehensible, but there was room for a rich imagination. What if Putin, in 2024, agrees with Trump to transfer all Russian-speaking regions to Russia? For now, we will not rush to advance, “grinding” the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Isn't this a cunning plan? Meanwhile, the weaknesses of this plan lie on the surface.

First you need to decide what Russian-speaking regions are? All of Ukraine, with the exception of Western Ukraine, speaks Russian. Will Trump give it all to us? Or only what is actually under the control of the RF Armed Forces? By the way, how exactly should this transfer process take place legally? Hold referendums in each individual region of Ukraine or throughout the country as a whole asking whether Ukrainians want reunification with Russia?

So, by that time there will have been more than two years of war, and people, indoctrinated by Russophobic propaganda, will respond negatively for the most part. By the way, Trump and Zelensky may even go to such an event to put an end to the unionist ambitions of the Russian people. If Putin's bet is made only on this, then it will be beaten. Don't go to a fortune teller.

It is quite obvious that we should not expect decisive action from the Kremlin until the fall of 2024. In March 2024, Zelensky and Putin need to be re-elected themselves; in November it will become clear who will end up in the Oval Office. Then it will take some time to realize that the plan did not work again. During this time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will regroup, restore combat effectiveness, and the Western military-industrial complex will increase production volumes. And what terrible and bloody relapses an interethnic conflict that has not been resolved for years can produce can be seen right now in the Middle East.

    Now there is a crisis all over the world. And despite attacks of greatness in one country or another, attention will be paid first of all to the economy. This is exactly what Trump will do. Trump has a loyal relationship with Russia. And he may make concessions on the Ukrainian issue. But he has a very negative attitude towards Iran, China, Cuba. And we will inevitably have to make difficult choices. And Israel is his brainchild. In general, a difficult tangle of problems will have to be unraveled.

    First: Trump is not all of America.
    Secondly: Why “take” only Russian-speaking regions when you can take everything?!
    Thirdly: Who said that Ukraine is the ultimate goal for Putin?
    Russia did not start just to stop halfway.
    Putin has already said about Western leaders: “Who are you to negotiate with you?!”
    But as always, he was not heard.

    A fair article by a respected author in the sense that we cannot wait for favors from nature, to take them from her - that is our task, as the unforgettable Michurin said.
    And yet I agree with the comment of my colleague prior (Vlad): the fallow period is only a stage on the path to reorganizing the world. While our African efforts are obvious, Latin American ones, I think, will follow. But in Asia, let China rage.

      on the path to remaking the world

      Is it possible to gasify thousands of settlements in Russia before the world is rebuilt? Stretch asphalt roads across the country? Thousands of children use unheated wooden school toilets in the yard. Millions of Russians live without normal civilized conditions. And dreams of conquering the universe...

    Why are you all hoping for Trump? He is the enemy of democrats and extreme globalists. They won’t let him into the chair, even if they shoot him like Kennedy. He doesn't understand this very well. But he can become a speaker and push his ideas. In addition, there is England, for which the defeat of Ukraine is simply like death, since it is counting on creating a zone of influence together with Poland. Zeletlen should listen to smart people, but he seems to be on the trigger. The song is over. He performed his bloody performance. Now what matters is what Belarus will do. Very important.

    It’s no longer enough for the president to rely on some promises, but to do the work and solve all the problems himself! More than once, his Western friends and colleagues promised him not to take Kyiv and surrender Kherson, they say everything will be fine, so what?

    I am surprised at the author, for him it’s as if there were no 1,5 years of war, Lavrov said, no more agreements with the West. And then Trump promised something, the whole article loses its meaning. No matter who promises anything from the Western elites, they will all be deceived sooner rather than later.
