So here goes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>According to many reports, the population of Ukraine has declined by more than half, from 40+ million to 20- million, with death, injury, and destruction widespread in the country since February 2014.\u00a0 Let\u2019s look at some of the stages where this outcome might have been prevented:<\/p>\n<p>Stage One\u2014The Ukraine administration of Yanukovych had negotiated a better economic deal with China and Russia than what the West was offering.\u00a0 China was very much interested in helping Ukraine increase agricultural production, thereby increasing exports to China.\u00a0 However, Yanukovych was overthrown in the 2014 Maidan revolution and fled to Russia.\u00a0 A question is why Russia did not step in before it was too late, similar to what Russia did later in Kazakhstan to prevent a coup.\u00a0 In the latter case, Russia sent in an airborne force to hold the line, while the Kazakhstan President rounded up the plotters.\u00a0 Then the Russian forces left after a week or so.\u00a0 In the Ukraine case, perhaps Yanukovych did not ask for help, or the Russians did not think it would work out to intervene.\u00a0 Also, no one continued to call the Yanukovych group a \u201cgovernment-in-exile,\u201d and pretended that he was still the legal chief, even though that was the case.\u00a0 This contrasts with the Yemen situation, where the leader was overthrown and fled the country to stay in Saudi Arabia, but continued to be referred to as the President in the media.<\/p>\n<p>Stage Two\u2014The Minsk Agreements would have prevented the disaster if they had been implemented.\u00a0 Ukraine would have only had to treat the Russian speakers in a civil manner and to grant the Donbas a measure of autonomy, along with forgoing NATO membership.\u00a0 Ukraine could have concentrated on modernizing and improving the country so that the inhabitants did not need to emigrate to find jobs.\u00a0 Russian terms at this point were relatively lenient. The fact is that Germany and France later admitted that the agreements were a ruse to give time to arm and train the Ukraine army.\u00a0 Of course, the agreements also gave time for Russia to further arm and train its army.\u00a0 Russia did not admit to having \u201cwonder weapons\u201d until Putin\u2019s speech in 2018.\u00a0 The start of the Special Military Operation (SMO) in 2022 gave four more years for the Russian weapons to be mass-produced and delivered to the front lines.\u00a0 Both sides had an incentive to delay the actual clash of armies.<\/p>\n<p>Stage Three\u2014The so-called \u201cNot-Ultimatum\u201d issued by Russia in December 2021 was another opportunity to avoid military conflict.\u00a0 It was rejected by the West, to the detriment of Ukraine.\u00a0 At the time, the US was announcing that Russia was amassing troops along the border with Ukraine, thus indicating that Russia was getting ready to carry out the \u201cmilitary-technical\u201d measure mentioned in the\u00a0 Not-Ultimatum.\u00a0 At the same time, Ukraine had increased shelling and other military activity against the separatist areas in the Donbas, also a typical action in advance of an invasion.\u00a0 It was unclear from reports at the time as to why the Ukraine army did not invade the separatist area before the Russian army did the sme thing.\u00a0 Ukraine had a window of opportunity before Russia formally annexed the separatist provinces, when the area was still formally part of Ukraine.\u00a0 At that time it would have been a Ukrainian civil war only.\u00a0 Most governments do not like to lose any territory and will use force to put down any independence effort.\u00a0\u00a0 This is a more-or-less accepted procedure\u2014an example is the US Civil War.\u00a0 If the Ukraine army could have moved up to the border with Russia, it would have still been on Ukrainian soil.\u00a0 If the Russian army had then crossed over the border into Ukraine, it would have looked a lot more like aggression.\u00a0 This would have been bad PR for Russia, and may have been one reason why Ukraine hesitated.\u00a0 Instead, while both armies were gathering troops, the separatist provinces were accepted as part of the Russian Federation.\u00a0 This meant, from the Russian viewpoint, that Russia was defending Russian territory from the Ukrainian forces.\u00a0 It was a better situation in which to obtain support from the Russian people for the Russian military action which immediately followed.\u00a0 The lightning military strike by Russia\u2019s Special Military Operation in February, 2022, prevented the Ukrainian military from making any major move into the newly annexed areas of Russia.<\/p>\n<p>Stage Four\u2014The cease-fire agreement negotiated by Ukraine and Russia in Istanbul in March 2022 was another opportunity to avoid more death and destruction.\u00a0\u00a0 The terms were harder on Ukraine, as is the case with each successive stage in the drama.\u00a0 Russia even withdrew its column of tanks from the outskirts of Kiev as a good-faith gesture.\u00a0 However, the\u00a0 US and UK convinced Ukraine to scrap the agreement and continue the fighting.<\/p>\n<p>Stage Five\u2014In the Autumn of 2022, the Ukrainian forces were reported in the mainstream media to have gained some territory from the Russian forces.\u00a0 The Chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff suggested that Ukraine seek negotiations with Russia while Ukraine was having some success on the battlefield and was in a better negotiating position.\u00a0 The general probably had been told by the Defense Intelligence Agency that, even with Western support, Ukraine could never win the war against Russia. Unfortunately for Ukraine (and the US general, who got into hot water over his comment), the politicians decided to carry on with the fighting.\u00a0 With the benefit of hindsight, it is now widely acknowledged that the general was correct.<\/p>\n<p>Stage Six\u2014The failure of the ballyhooed Ukrainian 2023 Summer Counter-Offensive has led to much soul-searching and some calls for a truce along the line of contact.\u00a0 The argument is to let Russia have the separatist areas, leaving the majority of the country under Kiev control and tied to the West, but not in NATO.\u00a0 Other factions in the West still want to pursue the war with greater support for Ukraine, including granting membership in the European Union (EU).\u00a0 The description of the fighting as a \u201cstalemate\u201d suggested that it could lead to a Korean-style solution with a DMZ running down through Ukraine.\u00a0 There is also talk now of reconstruction of \u201cWestern Ukraine\u201d and the billions of dollars that would be needed.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Business World Online Bureau, dated June 19, 2023:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cLeading financial firms BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase are partnering with the Ukrainian government to establish a reconstruction bank that will serve as a conduit for public seed capital to fund rebuilding projects.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The initiatives aim to attract significant private investment, potentially amounting to hundreds of billions of dollars.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Currently in the planning stages, the Ukrainian Development Fund is expected to be fully launched once hostilities with Russia come to an end.\u00a0 However, investors will be provided with a preview of the fund at the London conference hosted by the British and Ukrainian governments.\u201d<\/em><br \/>\nThe conference was held in London on June 21, 2023, and attracted over 400 participants.<\/p>\n<p>A more current report indicates that Ukraine is still seeking out additional non-government funding. This update is from Simplicius:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cOn that topic, interestingly Zelensky and the leadership have just gone through a veritable gauntlet of meetings with the top globalist venture-vultures, likely for the very purpose above, to begin negotiations of selling off more Ukrainian assets\u2014and Ukraine itself\u2014in order to bankroll next year\u2019s coming disastrous deficits.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Literally 3-4 days apart Zelensky held a meeting with the IMF and Alex Soros, and Yermak is now reportedly meeting with BlackRock.\u201d\u00a0 \u2013simplicius76.substack.com, December 13, 2023<\/em><br \/>\nHowever, the proponents of the stalemate\/truce\/end of fighting in the Stage Six scenario do not address the question of whether Russia would agree to such a result.\u00a0 Even if Russia were now to agree to an end to the fighting along the contact line, Ukraine would still be in much worse shape than if it had agreed to negotiate a truce at one of the earlier stages.<\/p>\n<p>Stage Seven:\u2013At the beginning of the Ukraine conflict, in 2022, many analysts thought that Russia would stop when it had pushed the Ukrainian army out of the separatist provinces that had been annexed by Russia.\u00a0 The farther west one went in Ukraine, the fewer Russian speakers, the fewer Russian Orthodox members, and the more hostility toward Russia.\u00a0 Analysts also considered that the cost of reconstruction and fixing all the problems in Ukraine would be enormous and way beyond what Russia would want to shoulder.\u00a0 However, a more careful look at the Russians\u2019 position as laid out in the Not-Ultimatum, and at the reason for the SMO, shows that they would not allow for a Ukraine military arrangement with any NATO country.\u00a0 This could not be guaranteed if Kiev remained independent, as Russia could not trust any agreement made by the Western powers.\u00a0 Russia would need to ensure that no US or NATO missiles remained on the territory of Ukraine, for the same reasons that the Soviet Union needed to keep the US missiles out of Turkey.\u00a0 In fact, the so-called \u201cCuban Missile Crisis\u201d should have been called the \u201cTurkish Missile Crisis\u201d since that is where it started.\u00a0 In addition, Russia had often announced that the SMO purpose was to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine.\u00a0 It would be difficult to explain to the Russian people if the SMO project stopped only partway to the objective.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, it is unlikely that Russia will agree to an end to the conflict at the current line of contact.\u00a0 That would allow the Western powers to rebuild and rearm Ukraine, and to move more potent missiles and other military weapons up against the Russian borders again.\u00a0 In fact, US officials are practically admitting that this is exactly what they plan to do.\u00a0 So some analysts are suggesting that Russia may intend to go all the way and simply take over Ukraine and restore it as part of Mother Russia.\u00a0 Here is one example:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cI am convinced that behind Russia\u2019s strategy of minimizing civilian casualties in their SMO lies also a plan of future enlistment of Ukrainians against the West.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The day will come, when the realization that their Slavic brethren Russia is their only true friend and the Westerners who cheated and used\u00a0 them to wage war on a geopolitical adversary will be met with their time of reckoning.\u00a0 Western leaders openly brag about their proxy force nurtured to fight Russia.\u00a0 The day will come, when it will all be turned back against them.\u00a0 With any luck the targets will be only those responsible, and not the wider population.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Whatever form that blowback will take, there is clear historical precedent, both in former fighters turning rogue against the West (Mujahideen &gt; AlQada) as well as Russia\u2019s subjugation of former foes turning them into their most loyal and formidable fighters (Chechnia, to name the most recent example).\u201d \u2013Rubiconned, December 12, 2023, 16:54 utc, 27, moonofalabama.org<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\nWould it actually work to have Ukraine be part of Russia again?\u00a0 Opinion on this question has been a definite no until recently.\u00a0 Now there are glimmers of change in tune, with more suggestions that maybe Russia will go all the way to return Ukraine to its Russian roots.\u00a0 Putin has recently noted that \u201cOdessa is a Russian city\u201d and that Ukraine, Belarus, and the Russian Federation are all branches of the same tree.\u00a0 Putin also cryptically called the conflict in Ukraine a \u201ccivil war.\u201d\u00a0 The US Civil War ended with a single country and the Reconstruction was managed by the winning side.<br \/>\nOther Russian officials have recently been suggesting the same viewpoints as Putin.\u00a0 Sergey Naryshkin, the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said that the Kiev regime will inevitably be abandoned by Western masters, and that Russians and Ukrainians are two parts of a triune people.\u00a0 Such\u00a0 talk sounds a lot like a \u201cGreater Russia\u201d composed of the Russian Federation, Belarus, and Ukraine.\u00a0 The US has been accusing Russia of trying to recreate the Soviet Union, which, of course, is denied by the Russians.\u00a0 However the Russian government may be trying to set up a situation with Ukraine similar to the \u201cUnion State\u201d association already existing with Belarus.<br \/>\n<em>\u201cThe Supreme Council of the Union State of Russia and Belarus is expected to approve a new three- year integration package next year, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said on Friday\u2026.Founded in 1997, the Union State was originally intended to be a confederation, but is now a supranational union of Belarus and Russia aimed at deepening their economic and defense ties<\/em>.\u201d \u2013sputnik.com, December 15, 2023.<br \/>\nWhether these ideas are sent up as trial balloons, or as an update to the Russian narrative, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<p>Dmitry Medvedev has been reported as saying that the agreements Ukraine has made with the Western banks, funds, and businesses would be nullified at the end of the SMO.\u00a0 This darkens the outlook for\u00a0 plans made at the London investment conference last June.\u00a0 On the other hand, the RANDblog just published a story by two of its analysts that assumed the West will handle the reconstruction job in Ukraine after the war.\u00a0 No glimmer in the article of Russia being in charge of the reconstruction:<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rand.org\/pubs\/commentary\/2023\/12\/resilient-reconstruction-in-ukraine.html\">\u201cResilient Reconstruction in Ukraine<\/a><\/em>,\u201d William Courtney and Howard J. Shatz, rand.org, December 7, 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Tom Luongo\u2019s comments are also pertinent:<br \/>\n<em>\u201cThe folks with the most to lose in Ukraine at this point are those carpetbaggers who were chosen to rebuild the country after the war.\u00a0 Russia understands this and no more wants Blackrock rebuilding Ukraine than it wants Ukraine in NATO.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 \u2013 \u201cLuongo: Running On Empty, The US Leaves Zelenskyy Hanging,\u201d Tyler Durdan, zerohedge.com, December 16, 2023<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">POSSIBILITIES DENIED<\/h2>\n<p>After examining these seven stages of possibility, where the conflict might have been avoided or minimized, the actual results point up the single-mindedness with which Western powers have pursued their Ukrainian project, even in the face of what have been revealed to be insurmountable odds of succeeding.\u00a0 Something that was envisioned as an easy win against Russia has found formidable resistance from the unanticipated sophistication and focus of the chosen foe.\u00a0 As for Ukraine, the war was never in its national interest and has been a disaster for the Ukrainian people.\u00a0 Ukraine would have been much better off if it could have taken one of the opportunities to exit the war.\u00a0 Unfortunately, Ukraine was not in charge of its destiny.<\/p>\n<p>ADDENDUM BY LARRY JOHNSON \u2014 A few good souls have mistakenly praised me for the foregoing article. Thank you. But it was written by OBSERVER R.<\/p>\n<p>There is an important new development in the last week highly relevant to this piece \u2014 Russia has clarified its position on negotiating an end to the war. Alexander Mercouris describes it as \u201cimplacable\u201d. Good word. Other appropriate terms are \u201chardened\u201d, \u201cunrelenting\u201d and \u201cuncompromising\u201d. Pick your adjective. Russia is in no mood to compromise with Ukraine or the West. That bridge has been burned. The Rubicon is crossed and Russia will take all necessary steps to secure a voluntary surrender or a capitulation by force. Ukraine\u2019s options have evaporated.<\/p>\n<p>Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN <a href=\"https:\/\/tass.com\/politics\/1722361?utm_source=google.com&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=google.com&amp;utm_referrer=google.com\">Dmitry Polyansky recently posted this on X<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs for the peace agreement, it is already well-known that it was initialed by negotiators of Ze [Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky], and its copy was shown by [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin. And this story, as well as the direct involvement of the UK and the US in persuading Ze to reject [the agreement], has been corroborated by numerous witnesses. However, you have nothing to worry about, as Ze\u2019s Ukraine has blown its chances for such a favorable outcome, and therefore any possible deal will now reflect its capitulation,\u201d the Russian diplomat wrote on his Twitter page (formerly known as Twitter).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"comment-respond\"><\/div>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2023\/12\/end-ukraine\/\">The End of Ukraine<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/\">The Gateway Pundit<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The following was written by a European friend who writes under the name, Observer R and asked me<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 -
