The aim of the militsary escalation isn't to change the outcome of the failed proxy war.
Its to usse this failure to manufacture a story to spend more government money on weapons and technology, plundering the pockets of average European citizen taxpayers and enriching the pockets of the wealthy who are mosly all tax dogers too.
Its the old story: "never let a crisis go to waste".
To understand how sick this is, you need to understand how mindlessly greedy the rich are, and how amoral their political lackeys are.
It seems everyone has a 'peace plan' at the moment but no-one actually articulates what they entail. The EU's peace plan along with Ukraine is total Russian capitulation so that is not going anywhere else other than the total destruction of Ukraine. Trump seems to be shockingly badly informed about the situation on the ground in Ukraine and he seems to think its a stalemate and both sides have lost equal amounts of men. He thinks Russia holds 'all the cards' simply because they have a bigger population and economy but he also believes they don't want to carry on the war and they don't see NATO as an existential threat. This is dangerous because Trump thinks that all of this is about his god appointed banging of Russian and Ukrainian heads together in order to reach peace in terms of the conflict as he misunderstands it. This means that if Russia refuses to bend to Trump's demands he will be affronted and escalate the conflict just as he has threatened to escalate sanctions against Russia today because of their continued missile/drone attacks against Ukraine. For a US president Trump seems to be so poorly informed. A few weeks ago he stated that Spain was a member of BRICS and more recently he stated that he was not sure if China was a member of BRICS or not!! It's not even sure if he understands what BRICS really is!!! When you factor in that he said in his inauguration speech that "Just a few months ago, in a beautiful Pennsylvania field, an assassin’s bullet ripped through my ear. But I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason. I was saved by God to make America great again." To me that delusion just makes Trump very dangerous indeed.
I agree with you concerning Trump being very obviously ill-informed. I had hoped that with his picks confirmed he would start to get proper data about the real state of the war, and the fact that Russia is slow walking the conflict to strangle Ukraine and bleed it of Nazis and weapons. Ditto NATO.
The one possible upside which might change this is a face-to-face meeting, Trump and Putin, where VVP would be able to explain to Trump the actual on-the-ground realities.
It's a hell of a thing when one side of a conflict is so badly informed that it feels it can try and dictate peace to the winner. Crazy!
It's crazy. From my study and knowledge it was pretty obvious that via the Steele Dossier etc that most of so called intelligence information on Russia comes not from CIA assets or diplomats in Russia but via CIA trained Ukrainian intelligence services who just pump out false disinformation and propaganda. There's a reason the CIA put so many offices in Ukraine. This means that Ukrainian intelligence, the MI6, CIA and FBI were all directly involved in all the disinformation for a US regime change operation of a US democratically elected President from 2016 to 2024. Trump doesn't seem to care but it meant that his 4 year first Presidency was totally impotent. It was only the whole Russiagate scam that forced Trump into sending Javelins to Ukraine and kickstarting this war but he doesn't get that either. The Ukraine war is a Biden/Nuland/Neocon war dating back to 1997 at least and Trump doesn't want to expose them. Go figure!!!
I do not know who this person is but she has an irritating tone and is not someone I care to watch. Nor can I assign her any credibility. Surprised to see this on Glenn Diesen's substack.
The EU or singular nations can pledge all the money they want. It’s not going to change the outcome of this war. Zelensky running from the White House to Downing St. was laughable. Trump is trying to save Zelensky from himself so he has a country to hand over to the next elected president. I’m sure that’ll be part of the terms of surrender and it should be as Zelensky has instituted Marshall law which also cancelled elections essentially making him a dictator. Zelensky was paraded around as some new Churchill when this whole conflict started which certainly has gone to his head. Plenty of “fighting” age people have fled Ukraine waiting for this to be over and Poland is sick of housing them too. Europe and the liberal globalists can pledge all the support they want but we all know the EU and giving money is anathema to itself. Trump will get a deal done and Zelensky better sign the dotted line this time because he won’t get another shot at it.
Before Trump's about turn Zelensky was ignored and despised wherever he went. Now everyone's all over him like a rash. Over-compensating. Nothing the EU does will make any difference, they're realising that they're completely impotent but can't admit it to anyone else.
It would be so nice to get an ethical leader somewhere in this corrupt world.

In the US also, of course.

Ukraine is a mirage. A corrupt crumbling state captured and inflated by external money and weapons. They have nothing. No cards indeed.

Of course they do. That’s what delusional psychopaths do. 🤣

No
