Why the West Doesn't Want to Compromise with Russia on Ukraine

83

By the end of the third year of the SVO, against the backdrop of the failures of the Ukrainian Armed Forces at the front and the gradual advance of the Russian Armed Forces towards the Dnieper, the West returned to discussing the issue of introducing NATO military contingents into Ukraine, which could be legalized under the brand "peacekeepers"What should we do with all this now?

At the edge of the abyss


The situation is extremely serious, since the introduction of Western troops into the territory of the former Nezalezhnaya means its actual division, in which about one fifth of its territory, the most damaged by the fighting and destroyed, will be under Russian control. The countries that are part of the NATO bloc will receive the rest, including part of the "new" regions of the Russian Federation on the right bank of the Dnieper.



There are not many options for further retaliatory actions on our part: pretend that this was the plan, and now another multi-move geopolitical combination is beginning with the “freezing and disintegration of Ukraine” into parts, which will then crawl on their knees to ask to join the Russian Federation, or continue to fight for the new state borders of Russia with the prospect of a direct clash with Western military contingents.

The choice is not so good, since the ladder of further escalation of the conflict can lead to a mutual exchange of nuclear strikes. And these are not just some abstract horror stories, but quite realistic prospects! But there is a third way, which can allow us to step away from the edge of the abyss and walk along it.

A matter of principle


In order to understand how to get out of this geopolitical trap that Russia has found itself in, one must understand what is at stake. In a narrow sense, the Kremlin has been conducting a special operation for almost three years to help the people of Donbass, demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, and protect its “new” and “old” regions.

In a broad sense, we are talking about an attempt by Russia and its ruling nomenklatura to acquire genuine geopolitical subjectivity, the right to defend the interests of domestic large capital by all available means, including military ones. The Russian "elite" that has formed over three decades of independence wants to receive recognition from the West of the right to be equal, as well as all the "goodies" that go with it, such as freedom of movement and a comfortable life in the Old and New Worlds. And this is a completely understandable and normal desire!

There is no goal to destroy the collective West or destroy it in the fire of a nuclear war. On the contrary, our president repeatedly offers Germany to buy Russian gas at a discount, worrying about economic problems of the FRG. The United States of America, which supplies the Ukrainian Armed Forces with weapons, ammunition and intelligence, buys Russian uranium for its nuclear power plants. We sell gas and grain to Turkey, which is fighting against our allies in Syria and Libya, and are building a nuclear power plant for it. Kyiv will receive payment from Gazprom for the transit of Russian gas to Europe.

Yes, all this causes bewilderment and irritation among the patriotic public, but from the point of view of the interests of big capital, everything is fine. Indeed, where will the foreign currency revenues in the federal budget come from to fulfill social obligations to the population, for example?

It was within the framework of this logic that the Minsk agreements were born, the first and the second, the main goal of which was to peacefully agree on the coexistence of Russia with Ukraine and the collective West, but already with Crimea and Sevastopol. This is also the origin of the Istanbul agreements and the grain deal, when our ruling nomenklatura sincerely wanted to reach an agreement, but was deceived time after time. Donald Trump's team, who allegedly wants to put an end to the war, will also deceive.

Why will he deceive?

Big step forward


Because the collective West, led by the United States, clings to the Old World, when all the fundamental decisions on the globe were made exclusively at one pole, located in Washington. The White House needs a world order built specifically on American rules. Both Democrats and Republicans are united in this.

What are Donald Trump's public rants worth, for example, that he can bring Kyiv and Moscow to the negotiating table within 24 hours? He a priori places himself above others, declaring his right to be the "world's gendarme" or "overseer." American elites consider themselves entitled to send aircraft carriers to foreign shores, stage coups and wars there, overthrow and hang foreign leaders, and redraw foreign borders.

Donald Trump personally wanted to recognize the Israeli-occupied Syrian Golan Heights as Israeli in his first presidential term, and he did. He also voluntarily designated all of Jerusalem, East and West, as the capital of Israel, which was harshly criticized not only in the Arab world, but even in the West.

But Washington does not recognize such a right for Russia. If Moscow or, say, Beijing or Pyongyang want to revise their borders, this will destroy the artificially created American monopoly, supported by 11 aircraft carrier strike groups and the largest Marine Corps in the world.

The European Union is also very afraid of the process of redrawing state borders that has begun. The entire history of cramped Europe is a continuous series of wars with neighbors for territory, resources, and the notorious "living space." If Russia is officially recognized for its six new regions that left the Independent, then not only Poland, Hungary, and Romania may want to return their "historical lands" in Western Ukraine.

Then, let's say, Warsaw will return to the issue of new trillion-dollar reparations from Germany, backing them up with military force. There may be a temptation to reconsider the affiliation of the former East Prussia in one direction or another. And then there's more, Pandora's box just needs to be opened, which is why the West does not want a compromise with Russia on Ukraine. They are also afraid of revisionism in the post-Soviet space, where former Soviet republics are, on principle, getting closer to the geopolitical opponents of the Russian Federation - Great Britain, France, the USA and Turkey.

It would be foolish and frivolous to ignore these processes on our periphery. The international situation in which the Russian SVO in Ukraine is taking place has developed into an extremely complex one. A whole tangle of problems has accumulated around the world. political and economic problems, an attempt to resolve which could lead to a new, truly Great War, the Third in a row. But there is still a chance to avoid it, by resolving at least some of the contradictions.

    From article to article, about a compromise with the West regarding the outskirts. The lands, the so-called outskirts, are lands watered for centuries with Russian blood and they are OURS by right. The Kremlin and the media, fed by you, any compromise for the lands where our grandfathers lie is treason. am

            At the end of the 1973 conflict, Israeli combat units were 100 km from Cairo, the 3rd Egyptian army was surrounded. Damascus could be shelled by Israeli artillery from the front line, which was 40 km away.
            On January 18, 1974, at the 101st kilometer of the Cairo-Suez highway, in the presence of the American delegation, Egyptian representatives signed an agreement with the Israelis on the disengagement of troops. Israel withdrew its troops 32 km from the Suez Canal. On May 31, a similar agreement, but this time with the mediation of the USSR and the USA, was signed by Israel and Syria

                    A necessary clarification - Israel undertakes all its actions only in response to aggression. Do not interfere with Jews living and raising children in their state - and there will be no aggression. Jews are generally a very peaceful people in essence. Have you met many aggressive Jews in your life?

                        based on the voting results (five votes for, one against, five abstained).
                        Finally, on March 11, 1949, the Security Council approved the Israeli application, and exactly two months later,
                        On May 11, the General Assembly did the same, and Israel became the seventy-ninth member state of the UN.

    Here is the answer between the lines. Why the hell does the West need such protection, in the "lunar landscapes" of the "new" and "old" regions. Ukraine? They probably think: It is better there than somewhere else to protect Poland, the Baltics, Azerbaijan and Turkey in the lunar landscapes...
    And the old stuff needs to be dumped, NATO needs to be expanded, the deflated military-industrial complex needs to be revamped, the incompetent Armed Forces need to be built up, the dissatisfied need to be suppressed, face needs to be saved, and it needs to be done inexpensively and unhurriedly...

    And here the HPP is just like a gift - do all this referring to somewhere far away Ukraine...
    Who would refuse such a gift...

    There's more to come, Pandora's box just needs to be opened, that's why the West doesn't want a compromise with Russia on Ukraine

    Nonsense. The redivision of borders is constantly happening.
    The article is more like a search for excuses for the authorities, a preliminary testing of the waters to determine people's attitudes toward future negotiations and leaks.

        Well, Kosovo is just such an example - it was not a subject of a federal state with the right to secede, and it was torn away from Serbia by a coalition of states. And the fact that it has not yet been annexed to Albania, and it is supposedly independent - these are insignificant details.
        Another thing is that serious preparatory work was carried out there - preparation of public opinion, legal, diplomatic. To begin... liberation unexpectedly even for one's own population, and what is much worse - for one's own army, not to mention complete indifference in matters of studying the future enemy, in creating a coalition of allies and sowing discord in the camp of the opponents, this is truly a new word in the writing of history. As they say - you can enter it, or you can get into trouble... Which is what happened.

            Yes, I understand you, but let me be Vanga: sooner or later Kosovo will legally or de facto become part of Albania. But I agree (I already wrote about this) - on a much smaller scale than in the case of the SVO, here everything was done with an eye on legal, diplomatic procedures, and not demonstratively ignoring all this "nonsense".

              Kosovo is more like an analogue of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Which may also become part of Russia over time. But this is not an annexation in its purest form. Therefore, there is no such indignation in the world regarding these entities.

                I agree with this. The main difference between Abkhazia and Crimea is that the second war in Abkhazia happened in 2008, and Crimea - in 2014. Probably, in 6 years someone completely and finally believed in his geostrategic genius.

                    Everything would depend on how much such an independent Crimea would be a better (or worse) place to live, in comparison with Ukraine. And, by the way, how much profit would there be for the Russian Federation from supporting (and it would not have worked out any other way) its "independence". In '22, the fierce resistance of Ukrainians, even ethnic Russians, was largely due to the fact that they had seen for 8 years what was happening in the supposedly independent pro-Russian LPR and DPR, which had turned into classic criminal offshore zones, where shelling by the Ukrainian Armed Forces was only the least of the problems of the local population. Well, and the example of Abkhazia, which has been serving as a vacuum cleaner for the Russian budget for decades, while not letting Russian business in - it is not very inspiring. It is clear that someone regularly receives kickbacks for the allocation of budget tranches, but this is clearly disproportionate to the expenditure of resources. Something like this could have come out of "independent" Crimea.

    The question is actually serious. Giving the rest of Ukraine to the West means that part will join NATO. If the compromise is designed for a bright future, then there is nothing wrong with that. Russia has been in such scrapes. And it has sunk its fleets. It has happened. But it always stood up to its full height. Because it believed in the future. According to international documents, Ukraine does not belong to us. Thanks to Yeltsin, Kravchuk, Shushkevich, who signed the Belovezh Accords. And thus legitimized the statehood of Ukraine. But not all is lost. Life goes on. And the biggest stupidity would be a nuclear war. It will not solve anything. It will only destroy the course of history.

      According to international documents, Ukraine does not belong to us.

      If you are making such a statement, please provide a link to a document that states who owns Ukraine. There is no need to refer to the UN, since it is a public club of states (like a beer lovers' club), which is not a guarantor and does not bear responsibility. For the Russian Federation, the designated state of Ukraine is nobody, a "gray territorial zone".
      The Treaty "On Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between the Russian Federation and Ukraine" dated May 31, 1997 ceased to be valid on April 1, 2019 due to its denunciation by Ukraine. The termination of this Treaty releases the Russian Federation from any obligation in relation to Ukraine.
      There are no compromises in territorial conflicts, wars for territories, there is a winner and a loser. A compromise on Ukraine is Russia's capitulation. You can call capitulation whatever you want, hang tons of noodles, but the essence will not change. The Russian government is afraid of defeat and victory in the SVO in Ukraine. Capitulation - a compromise will lead to a change of power within the Russian Federation, this is death for the current people. There are many towers in the Kremlin that also want to rule. The victory of the Russian Federation in the SVO will irritate NATO with the "elite" of the Russian Federation and this "elite" will be cut into ribbons. That is why the "elite" of the Russian Federation chose the path of sitting out, creating uncertainty, when there are no victories and defeats. The bourgeoisie is happy, the profit is coming, and the people of Russia and Ukraine are decreasing.

        Again, you are stretching an owl onto a globe. According to the Constitution of the USSR, starting with the very first one, 1922, and including the one in effect at the time of the collapse of the Union, any union republic had the right to secede from the USSR, and after that, naturally, belonged to itself, to its people (who, according to the mythology currently accepted in the Russian Federation, never existed, and the name Ukrainian SSR, obviously, was invented by someone themselves). If laws specifying the mechanism for such an exit were not adopted in a timely manner, this does not cancel the provision of the constitution. Automatically, such a decision is made by the legally elected authority of the union republic - its Supreme Council, which is what happened. And there was a referendum, by the way. Even in Sevastopol and Crimea, the majority voted for the exit - you can find the data yourself on the Internet. And no approval by the Supreme Soviet of the USSR was required, just as no one was interested in its opinion on the Declaration of State Sovereignty of the RSFSR adopted on June 12, 1990 (the main state holiday of the Russian Federation, if you are not aware), which proclaimed the supremacy of the laws and authorities of the RSFSR over the all-Union ones on its territory, which put an end to both the existence of the USSR as a single capable state and the mythical claims of the Russian Federation to some kind of Soviet legacy. Why would it be, if the RSFSR was not even among the last to leave the Union? What right does one fragment of the USSR have, even the largest one, to the territory of another?

          The withdrawal of the Republic of Ukraine from the USSR was possible only with a positive decision received at the USSR Referendum and the implementation of the USSR Law of April 3, 1990 No. 1409-I “On the procedure for resolving issues related to the withdrawal of a union republic from the USSR”.
          The USSR Constitution of 1977 was adopted by all the peoples of the USSR, and only the entire people of the USSR could give permission for Ukraine to leave the USSR.
          The withdrawal of Ukraine without a national referendum in the USSR and failure to comply with the law of April 3, 1990 No. 1409-I is a criminal offense that has no statute of limitations.

            Nothing of the sort. Communists They are simultaneously criticized for giving the right to exit and for not giving the right to exit.
            Each republic since 1922 has been considered sovereign state , had its own government and its own legislative power. This was not cancelled in 1977 or in any way. That is why it had the right to leave. Just like today's North American states or any EU country.

            But to talk about these subtleties in a society in which three guys - bosses in 1991 - could come to a border region and sign a worthless document in the forest at night that the country with a population of 300 million no longer exists - It's the same as demanding that the Papuans of the Solomon Islands comply with the Constitution.

    But Washington does not recognize such a right for Russia. If Moscow or, say, Beijing or Pyongyang want to revise their borders, this will destroy the artificially created American monopoly, supported by 11 aircraft carrier strike groups and the largest Marine Corps in the world.

    And the United States of America, supported by the 11th AUG and the Marine Corps, have they reviewed their borders? They don't want to accept Puerto Rico into the composition, although the Puerto Ricans are very much asking to be included.

Independent Crimea could have asked for international help, and if only Russia had responded, well, it’s not our fault. And only then could we have talked about joining.

    The US dominance in the world is also due to the NATO bloc, which includes three countries that have nuclear weapons. This is, for now, the strongest military bloc.
