The silent and even silent advocates of the anti-Russian crusade: inflation, impoverishment and economical regression of all the countries of the European Union, as a result, are no longer a fact to be hidden.
For the public, and especially for voters, not only in Old Europe, this fact is much more crucial and it is no longer possible to escape the question of whether the direct origin of our losses is Putin's "aggression in Ukraine" or the consequence of the "United West" to this aggression. mediocre consumers who are already facing the threat of occupation losses and entrepreneurs who are increasingly suffering losses as a consequence of drastic increases in costs and request decline are increasingly asking the question rather clearly: did their losses in any way contribute to the fresh "defeat of Russia" and will this "defeat" always occur?
Until recently, we have been convinced that further packages of sanctions "will crush economically" this country and we are to be happy about it. Suffice propaganda to confirm the success of anti-Russian politics seems to be no longer convincing and little credible. We are mediocre and we will proceed to be mediocre and the war continues and drags us to the bottom. It is said that Ukrainian troops win militarily, but Ukrainians live without electricity, water and heating and are already in danger of widespread humanitarian disaster.
So the eternal question of the meaning of wars comes back: is it worth winning battles that cannot prevent (as if) citizens being defended from mass suffering and illness and destruction? Once, erstwhile politicians were pros and yet were guided by more than their own ambitions or commands of ‘world leadership’, they sought to end their armed actions erstwhile they could no longer defend the lives and possessions of the citizens themselves (subjects). The pallet of possibilities was and is very large: temporary ceasefires can be announced to begin multilateral or bilateral negotiations (disclosed or classified) on stopping fights or only stopping bombings or rocket fire, announcing a plan to end the war, or – following the main government sponsor in Kiev – start a "peace process". In particular, I propose the last way that the United States has been utilizing successfully for decades in the mediate East. Of course, this proposition is addressed to the "war party", due to the fact that this conflict will proceed at least as long as the Israeli-Palestinian war, which is already more than half a century old. In this part of the world, then, there will be a “Biden plan”, a long, devastating war.
Of course, what I wrote is ironic, bordering on mockery. And now seriously: if it is actual that the aim of this war is the deepest economical and political degradation of the full of Europe, especially the old one, to prevent the transformation of the European Union into a quasi-federal state and to block the emergence of a fresh Silk Road, a strategical economical alliance between China and Europe, and Ukraine and Russia are only means of achieving this goal, then Ukrainian and Russian politicians should end this conflict as shortly as possible unless they are consciously active in this conspiracy.
The real winter is coming, which will increase the number of casualties of power, heating and water. Our pro-war politicians and publicists (from left to right, or the full COPIS) have so far cursed the reality by claiming that only looking, and the Russian oligarchs will kill or retreat from Putin's power and will most likely immediately announce the full surrender of Russia, will retreat "from all occupied Ukrainian lands", and the West will yet be able to announce any success in order to cover the full defeat of the deterrence policy (no 1 fears Mr. Stoltenberg's threatening faces). So far, despite the spells, nothing has happened. But possibly this script will work, just that it will affect the another side of the conflict. After all, Washington's unceremonious attitude to its proteges is known: we have seen this not only in Vietnam or Afghanistan, but besides in Iraq. So it could happen again.
