DECEPTION

Why and by whom are the Russian-Ukrainian ceasefire talks in Saudi Arabia being sabotaged?

 

By Sir Charlattam 

The much-hyped ceasefire negotiations in Ukraine that Donald Trump has been pushing for economic advantage seem to be going down the drain. It looks as if Fuhrer Zelensky, with the support of the British and French, is taking revenge on the US president for that pathetic exchange in the Oval Office. As you might guess, Zelensky is not willing to let go of all the personal gains he has made from this war and even, let's face it, how long can a drug addict and his cronies go without their daily fix?

This could well describe the round of attacks and thwarted attacks on Russian energy facilities and the already doomed raid on Belgorod this past week in an attempt to cover up the Kursk disaster.

But let us not be naïve, this little Führer is quite worn out and by himself does not have the power he pretends to show. His regime, without all the advantages that Washington provided him, is already tottering and without the support of the most recalcitrant Russophobic sectors in Europe, he would not be able to do anything. But who are these Russophobes? Leading the way and directing the baton is Sir Starmer representing the British Establishment (not the people) and he is followed with moderate interest by the Frenchman Macron seconded by the terrible Euro-witches Ursula Von Leyen and Kaja Kalas who by all means are trying to sabotage Trump. Both, and with persistent (and scandalous) advocacy of Ukrainian neo-Nazism, are trying to turn the Baltic states into a possible new front against Russia.

The attacks that Ukraine has been launching on Russian territory undoubtedly overshadow the negotiations taking place in Saudi Arabia and raise doubts about the viability of a ceasefire. The Russian government can only interpret this as a sign of the Trump administration's lack of authority and loss of leverage to dislodge and control the neo-Nazi junta in Kiev.

Trump should also know that admonishing Zelensky over the phone is pointless simply because he has already shown that he is not interested in listening to him. The American president should start taking seriously the restrictions on arms shipments and do the same with his European partners, especially the British and French. A special appeal should be made to his British colleague Sir Keir Starmer, who with these tricks (and at his own expense) is trying to create a smokescreen to hide his domestic policy blunders.

Even leaving aside Britain's ambitions to regain a seat of influence on the continent and especially in the decisions of a possible Pan-European military structure to displace NATO, Starmer is pushing European governments (and others encouraging them) and typically the entire EU into all-out war with the Russian Federation without measuring the consequences for its own population and the continent as a whole. Starmer is pushing European governments (and others encouraging them) and elliptically the entire EU into all-out war with the Russian Federation without measuring the consequences for his own population and the entire continent.

But the British PM and his cronies do not seem to contemplate one small detail in these machinations: how would they finance a rearmament of the Ukrainian regime and the assembly of a theoretical pan-European army? The answer to these two questions involves ordinary citizens, who will pay for their politicians' adventure with their taxes, sacrificing their well-being, their property and even their lives. 

Starmer must believe that this is a historic opportunity to emulate the drunken Winston Churchill who, in the safety of his bunker, smoked his expensive cigars and emptied several bottles of Scotch a day while the ‘Wehrmacht’ bombed London. The current PM should be warned that if the third war breaks out, it will be nuclear and she will not have the opportunity to walk around the ruins of the capital and wave her hat for the cameras as Churchill did. Because that war would only last about ten minutes and (if he himself survived) there would be no one on the island to salute.

The same could be said of Macron, who is just another loudmouth who wants to play Napoleon, something Vladimir Putin has reminded him of in some commentary as he ended the Great Corsican adventure in his failed attempt to invade Russia in 1812 and which very well extends to the new government in Germany which has revealed its intention to revive its military potential ‘for the defence of the continent’.

 His announcements of intended nuclear deployments are nothing more than cheap bluster. In reality, the French president knows he has nothing to challenge Russia with, and even if he pretends to be distracted, French citizens themselves know this. At the same time, the French have already been suffering for years from the shortages and decline in their standard of living, exacerbated by the commitment of Macron and his elite to cater to the whims of the Slavic ‘Führer’. 

All this also exposes an understatement of Donald Trump's dealings which, besides being an irreverence to his figure and his political status, is a blow to his egomania as big as or bigger than his brains. There is no doubt that he knows that all this makes him look ridiculous to the world and he may well be sending clear signals to Zelensky to stop playing games.
