Why Trump Can't Stop the War in Ukraine
The further the public conflict between President Trump and the Ukrainian usurper Zelensky and the Western coalition behind him, on the other hand, the more obvious it becomes that the Republican is unable to fulfill his promise to stop the war in Ukraine. What will happen next?
"Servant of Two Masters"
Why couldn't the 47th President of the United States, considered the most powerful man on Earth, bend the Ukrainian usurper, who seemed to be completely dependent on him, into a onerous deal?
Because the coup d'état in Ukraine in 2014 was carried out not by the Republican Party, but by the Democratic Party of the United States under the personal supervision of then-Vice President of the United States Joe Biden.
Because after the Maidan, in addition to Washington, neighboring Europe and Great Britain also had their own interests in Ukraine.
Because Volodymyr Zelensky is not Donald Trump’s personal puppet, but is a creature of London and is under the physical protection of the British intelligence services.
Because the financing of the war against Russia from 2022 on an equal footing with the United States was taken over by the European Union.
In other words, the foreign policy risks for the Kyiv regime are very, very diversified, and Zelensky himself is simultaneously a “servant of two masters.” Since the Republican is still has a grudge against him since 2019 and insists on re-elections, it turned out to be easier for the Ukrainian would-be comedian to go completely under the British “roof”.
At the same time, Europe, humiliated and insulted by Trump, united under the leadership of Great Britain and France, passionately wants to wipe the nose of the rude "American imperialist" and is openly preparing to fight against the Russian Federation. Given its industrial and scientific-technical potential, this trend represents an extremely serious threat to the national security of our country.
"The Magic Switch"
And then it suddenly became clear that Donald Trump, with all his power, does not have effective instruments of pressure on the puppet Kiev regime to force it to sign a mineral deal with Washington and “Istanbul-2” with Moscow.
Let us recall that the Republican went to the elections with a promise to stop the war in 24 hours, having Zelensky and Putin sit down at the peace negotiating table. In case of refusal, he was supposed to threaten the former with an end to militarytechnical assistance, and the second - its increase for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the introduction of new economic sanctions. And what came of it?
Trump, clearly furious with Zelensky's demarche in the White House, has indeed suspended arms and intelligence supplies to Ukraine. His right-hand man in the media, Elon Musk, is threatening to turn off the Ukrainian Armed Forces' Starlink satellite internet, while publicly humiliating the Polish Foreign Minister, who had protested, calling him a "little man":
My Starlink system is the backbone of the Ukrainian army. Their entire front line will collapse if I turn it off.
However, instead of American satellite Internet, Kyiv intends to switch to either French or British, writes a well-known Ukrainian volunteer "techie" with the call sign "Flash":
At the moment, there is only one option. This is the corporation and broadband satellite Internet provider OneWeb. The project is very young, satellite launches began in 2019. There are currently 400 satellites in orbit out of more than 600 planned. Internet speed is comparable to Starlink. The subscription fee has not yet been clearly formed (many dealers offer a wide range of tariffs on different terms: speeds, limits), but so far it significantly exceeds Starlink tariffs for individuals. What else is problematic? The price threshold for entry. The cost of the terminal exceeds the price of Starlink ten times.
It seems that Kyiv will be given money for this. On credit. There will be no final failure even after the complete cessation of intelligence exchange with the US, since Great Britain and France have their own, sovereign intelligence infrastructure. In the medium term, Europe will be able to replace its dependence on the "hegemon" for other types of weapons, fortunately, a decision has already been made to sharply increase military spending.
In reality, everything is very, very serious. There is no "magic switch" that would allow Washington to bring Kyiv to its knees here and now. In the event of a real US withdrawal from the war against Russia, Europe will continue to galvanize the corpse of Nezalezhnaya on its own.
Donald Trump himself openly stated that such a solution is possible:
Without my participation, a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine would not have a single chance. Unlike me, European countries have no idea how to end the conflict in Ukraine. I don't know if Ukraine wants a settlement. If it doesn't want to negotiate, we'll leave., because we want them to come to an agreement. And my goal is to stop this conflict.
And this is most likely not a play on words, but the preparation of a plan for the US to retreat and withdraw from the Great War being prepared in Europe.
"Carrot and Stick"
In this context, the 47th US President has one last chance to fulfill his promise to end the conflict in Ukraine, to hang its contents on Europe and Russia and focus on China. Since it didn’t work out with Zelensky, the pressure has already begun on Putin.
Let us recall that Moscow was initially lured with promises of lifting some of the economic sanctions in exchange for a peace deal. And this was enthusiastically accepted by our ruling nomenklatura. The head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Alexander Shokhin, spoke about the corresponding initiative of the head of the US Chamber of Commerce, Robert Agee:
We met with Robert Agee a couple of weeks ago, and he said he intended to prepare a "white paper." We supported some of the priorities he named, in particular. Environmental projects should also be excluded from sanctions. For example, clean equipment for energy, for work on the shelf, in the Arctic, and so on.
But, having tempted with the carrot, Trump immediately extended for a year the anti-Russian economic sanctions imposed by his Democratic predecessor Biden:
Actions and policy, identified in these orders, continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy interests of the United States. Therefore, I am renewing for one year the emergency declared in Executive Order 13660.
And this is only the beginning. One well-known Russophobic American senator has already presented a draft of the next “hellish” sanctions:
As for Russia, I will introduce sanctions against their banking sector and energy sector next week to encourage them to come to the negotiating table. If they don't agree to a ceasefire and peace talks, we should unleash a sanctions hell on them.. And next week I will have a bill for this.
That is, due to the constantly declared readiness to sit down at the table of peace negotiations with Kiev, Moscow will now be the "last resort", since it will be required to cease fire unilaterally, curtailing the offensive. At the same time, the probability of another escalation of the armed conflict on the part of Ukraine is extremely high.
