PEACE IS DESIRABLE

Have Zelensky and his backers come to their senses about the imperative need for peace, or is this a ploy?

By Sir Charlattam

“We can't stop establishing contacts with the Kremlin for peace talks,” commented one of Volodymyr Zelensky's close aides as the ground shook from the fall of Russian missiles when they met in the armoured bunker beneath the Ministry of the Interior in Kiev in mid-December 2022.

The answer to that advice came a few weeks later when that official died in a mysterious accident. It would be very easy to accuse the Ukrainian leader of ordering this "accident" (which could be very likely) but there are other factors involved that point more accurately to the origin. It is true that this suggestion did not please Zelensky at all and even transfigured his face, but there were others in his cabinet who were not amused and surely took it as a sign of betrayal and would have acted accordingly.

But who were also present were the British and American advisers who would have been dismayed and thus would have been the masterminds of this covert execution. Whatever the case, the Americans and the British were empowering a Zelensky in doubt and worried that he would not be able to fulfil the role that the White House had scripted for him and that President Joe Biden himself had entrusted to him.

At that time peace was the last thing to be talked about, and that was not debatable. That mandate came straight down from the White House and was relayed in person by Pentagon advisers. This is how American democracy and that of its British partners works: they tell you one thing in public and do something else on the quiet. Why do they think the US signs agreements that it then rides roughshod over?

The duel between the story elaborated and disseminated by the not very credible Western media such as the BBC, CNN, The Economist and the crude reality already has a winner and it is... reality. Joe Biden and his entire Atlanticist club -in their fevered minds- were counting on the fact that they could continue to deceive people and the public around the world if they managed to strike a blow against Russia. In short, (for them) it was a matter of time to degrade the Russian economy, create widespread discontent in society, turn Russian citizens to the streets against Vladimir Putin and his government and Voila!!, as the jovial Macron would say... Toute la Russie à nos pieds!

Coincidentally and to Macron's chagrin, the Nigerians have decided that they will no longer be exploited and from now on, if France wants the mineral resources it will have to pay for them.

The reality has been harsher and crueler than NATO's brains had expected. To be more comprehensive in these considerations, we must make it clear that this reality has hit Biden, Sunak, Borrell and their minions repeatedly and in different parts of their faces and that NATO is in a virtual technical knockout and before Zelensky hits the canvas, the towel must be called in.

The latest reports of Kiev's interest in talks with Moscow on the basis of a proposal that the African representatives have put forward to Vladimir Putin on a number of points are confirmation that things have turned out worse than one might have imagined. The comedian may be dressed in khaki at the lavish meetings of his sponsors, but the real bleeders on the front line are the simple men who have had enough of this.

The blockade of grain and fertiliser supplies to the African continent and the global south in general is endangering the humanitarian conditions of its inhabitants, and not because of Russia's whim. Recall that Kiev violated the grain agreement by using it for the secret transport of weapons. At the same time, the US and NATO have been putting all kinds of obstacles in the way of Russian cargo ships, preventing the supply of grain and fertilisers free of charge.

Faced with this suspension of the agreement, the Kremlin promised free delivery of Russian grain to African countries, a proposal that choked the CEOs of corporations such as Cargill, Bunge, Midland and Dreyfus and several of the financial (futures) speculators on the Wall Street stock exchange. For these corporations that control 80 percent of the grain trade, crises and war are in their interests and the idea of being run out of business is not something they will tolerate. What matters least to them is so-called “Food Security”.

That is why a UN employee came out to snub Putin's impertinence. You will not hear such measures from the White House, 10 Downing Street and even less from the bureaucrats in Brussels, given that in addition to their colonialist past and making a business out of war, they care little about the needs and human rights of Africans.

On the contrary, the Russian government and Putin himself have shown that the African continent is on their radar, and in addition to offering free grain and fertiliser donations, they have announced their political commitment to supply military equipment to 40 African countries, thereby reducing dependence and indebtedness to the Western war industry.

So much did this offer resonate that there was no shortage of second-rate lackeys and bootlickers trying to discredit the offer. Predictably, the UN secretariat and Gutiérrez himself sided with Washington, refusing to allow Russia to implement the cost-free grain donation to Africa.

The summit in St. Petersburg between African representatives and Russian President Vladimir Putin provided a glimmer of light. China's neutral involvement in bringing the parties together was also very important.

Undoubtedly very bad news for those corporations, but even more so for Biden and his coterie of neoconservative war mongers, who could see the hostilities come to an end. The last summit, while it served to bend Erdogan's arm to stop denying Swedish entry, was not at all successful in terms of Zelensky's aspirations to raise more aid.

For the senile old man, the concern is the approaching elections and with a war encouraged by his administration, to which billions of dollars have been pumped and which, to make matters worse, has served only to line the pockets of a few cocaine addicts of the regime and its neo-Nazi officers in Azov, he can only arouse a resounding rejection from the public.

That, too, is bad news for the subjects of the European Union, but especially for Prime Minister Sunak and his bishop Ben Wallace, who most likely has no intention of keeping the NATO Secretary General's chair at this point. When the war is over, who will want to be there?

Biden is now cornered and the dirty tricks they have been trying to implement against Russia with proxy cells carrying out terrorist attacks run by the CIA, MI6 and their SBU cronies will not change the outcome. If Biden leaves the Oval Office there will be many questions coming from the House Committees of Inquiry and from the catastrophe in Afghanistan, the questions are undoubtedly countless.
