Security Guarantees for Ukraine Could Trigger Nuclear War
Prof. Glenn Diesen on Podcast Mrežnica
I had the great pleasure to discuss the efforts by the Europeans and Zelensky to obtain security guarantees from the US. The Ukrainian army is collapsing, and Zelensky needs to get the US pulled into the war with security guarantees. Peace agreements must remove the incentives for restarting the fighting. While security guarantees could deter Russia, it would create an incentive for Ukraine to restart the fighting to get US assistance with reconquering territories. Zelensky has previously lied about a Russian missile attack on Poland to pull NATO into the war, and security guarantees could leave the US in a dilemma between having its deterrent discredited or going to war against the world’s largest nuclear power. Offering Ukraine’s natural resources to the US is an attempt by Zelensky to buy security guarantees and Washington’s recognition that he is the legitimate leader of Ukraine. While Trump will allow Zelensky to buy legitimacy, he is unlikely to provide security guarantees as the US already holds all the cards and has immense leverage over Ukraine.

Never have I ever had 'rare earth metals' on my grocery list or any other kind of shopping list. I think elites must crave those so 'better to see us, hear us, eat us' stuff. But food, glorious food, and water, now those are some meaningful things! Yet, ag land falls into fewer and fewer manipulative and war-mongering hands. The revolution will come when we are hungry enough to use our brains.
Zelensky shot his load in the Oval Office. He can wish for US security but that’s dead now. The best he will get is whatever US companies bring along with them. There will NEVER be US boots on the ground in Ukraine. Europe now owns the Ukraine. NATO has been dead before it even began. Russia will keep the Donbas and the US will have a deal with Russia for Rare Earth too. We are in a win win situation now. Zelensky owns no cards to any winning hand.
