As someone who was involved in the insolvency business at one stage, the Ukraine situation seems to me to have parallels. On the surface things might appear stressed and there are various recovery plans, but then suddenly there is a crisis and a few weeks later the thing is in a free fall collapse. And avoiding this latter scenario is what I think the Europeans are up to, by continuing to extend and pretend in the hope that something - anything - will turn up.
The Trump Team have not only signalled but said in no uncertain terms that the USA is walking away from this fubar and if Ukraine and Europe want to continue the fight then it is at their risk and cost - no article 5, no money, no weapons, no troops. Europe is out of money, troops, and weapons. But not hot air.
Any policy of continuing to fight pre-supposes the Ukainian army will be prepared to die and be maimed in large numbers and the general population bear hardship and the more or less forecful conscription of their menfolk. Personally I doubt either of these will be the case.
In the face of an implacable Russia who if anything have expanded their original war aims, Ukraine and Europe now face the bad choice of conceding now, or conceding later but with a worse outcome. This was Hesgeth's message.
This situation is unlikely I think to have what we call in the insolvency business a "soft landing" where a controlled failure is managed. It looks to me that once the military stop fighting and the public react against the war, Ukraine will unravel quickly and in ways that are to an extent unpredictable. In effect Ukraine might cease to even be a nation at all, with some form of partition and with Russia taking the lion's share. Russia will not want a failed state on its border, or at least one it cannot control. Many were surprised by how quickly Syria collapsed (or Afghanistan or Vietnam in 1975). Well we might see a similar thing in Ukraine.
There is no good outcome for Ukraine now, and IMO the longer European leaders pretend that this is possible, the worse the situation will be for the poor people of Ukraine. And in doing so they run the risk of millions of new refugees along with a crime wave caused by embittered and brutalised ex-soldiers who will be well armed. And let's not even talk about all those "loans" which will never be repaid. European leaders blindly followed the USA down the primrose path and alas it will be the people of Europe who will suffer.
Great comments & the citizens of the UK & EU are suffering financially right now. In a big way, the current rulers of the EU & UK aren't capable of making any rational decisions. Theyve blindly followed the worst American administration in history. Believing in their own arrogance, many in the EU & UK want nothing more than to see these traitorous idiots exposed for what they are. Ukraine has been a criminally corrupt state since it independence. It's demise is going to be a huge disaster for the EU especially. Sadly as usual it will be the civilians who suffer the most & not the ones who made these insane decisions they've been making.
Over this entire period, you have been an unerring source of information, realism and integrity. We who have learned from you, owe you a great debt of gratitude
Your blog, videos, and guest appearances elsewhere are much appreciated. Thank you.
You say that the public in the Collective West will now have to come to terms with the realization that "the reality that the Ukrainian army has suffered huge losses and total collapse is now unavoidable." Indeed. But they ought to be informed not just that the Ukrainian army has "suffered huge losses" but that three Ukrainian armies have been utterly destroyed and those now being killed at the rate of about 1500 per day (currently) belong to an attempt at cobbling together a fourth army that is falling apart faster than it can be built up.
And its even more important that the public comes to terms with the realization that the corporate media have been consistently feeding them gross lies and propaganda in support of keeping the war going and that their politicians have done the same—and that this has been true not only of this vicious Ukrainian proxy war but of all of the wars generated by the US-UK-European imperium since at least 1946. Indeed, truth has always been the first casualty of war, but I name that date as the beginning of the period when (both hot and cold) war news has been controlled by the CIA, MI6, and what have now all become "security states", and the date when that great utensil of manipulation—television—was appearing on the scene.
As long as the public fails to learn not to believe anything peddled by the mass media it will remain the clueless victim of the vicious machines that run the so-called "news" and control the fate of all Western Populations there will be endless victimization and war. We must—somehow—break out of the mold.
Well at some point it has to be understood that not much will change as long as the masses are addicted to “social media” which is the channel by which they annd their children are propaganda-brainwashes.
Facebook, Twitter, Tik Tolk, Instagram etc are actually where people get personally custom-fed fed what we call “mainstream media”.
And people don’t understand even that. These day children of 8-9-10 years old are given a phone and free access to “social media” by patients who claim it’s so the kids “don’t get left out”.
I like to believe that Glenn Diesen is serving more of actual truth, through social media. The mainstream media is fed by the USAID sponsored media (85-90%) in Ukraine, the made up "truth".
Trump couldn’t have come at a better time for Europe and the European arm of NATO. French MSM and the less right see the Washington Moskou peace talks, not only as a point of no return but also as le moment supreme, to get the best out of a degrading Europe, to get independent from US but also to prepare for a European war with Russia in 2030, and get back the Ukrainian lost territories. This all under the pretext that Russia started to invade the Baltic and to defeat once and for all the aggressor.
Ukraine war is NOT over UNTIL Putin says it's over.
Let’s face it, its always been US vs Russia, the former being the aggressor and instigator of the war in Ukraine. Ukrainians are simply cannon balls in this war.
The negotiation of “peace” in Ukraine primarily sits with Us and Russia. Us will not admit that it's their war and they have lost fighting against Russia. If they do they have to sign peace treaty with Russia in which they have to uphold, and US don’t want that. Instead, Us is coming with the narrative implying its zelensky-ukraine war and they should be forced to make peace with Russia. In the usual US protocol on losing a war, they triggered and started, is to abandon their proxy, and start finger pointing at somebody to be the fall guy.
US will not admit proxy war against Russia is their direct war against Russia. Without peace treaty between Us and Russia, there will be on-going proxy war against Russia. After all, Us lives on war their economy is depended on war.
Hva med det dekretet zevlensky skrev etter forhaamdlingene i Istanbul i ( hvilket USA og UK saborterte )2022 hvor ingen i ukeraina kunne forhandle om fred med Russland ? Har våre politikere og politikere i Brussel glemt det? Dreved blir det kun USA og Russland som kan forhandle om fred for Ukraina !
What should happen is the world should take note of my “course” and use it as a guide to try to lead the human race as a species to a more fair, more equitable and more sustainable future.
This war is coming to an end? Get back to me with that conclusion after Russia finally captures Chasov Yar, Kharkov, Zaporozhye, and oh yeah, also takes back Kursk 100%. Maybe next year??? 2028??? 2030??? At that point, remind me whether any of it has achieved the SMO goals of Ukraine's neutrality and denazification. Until then, it's all just hopium.
All narrative shifts from "Ukronazis are wining" to "it's a staalemate" to "Peace must come asap" are indication of the proxy war ending and soon becoming just an ordinary war where stronger wins. It has come to a point where putting more arms and more cash simply has negative ROI thus insolvency is baked in (1). Trump is just an insolvency manager trying to extract as much as possible for US creditors and at the full detriment to Euro Utopia creditors. So it will be another "F-U EU" and they sow it - so now they're reaping what they sow.
Trump being transactional is one of the few US presidents whom is able to present a defeat as a win or simply blame it on Bidenites, Euro Utopans, or whomever (hence the disbanding of USAID and other left-ard power wielding tools which can derail him). Masses in the west still think Captain America won over Captain Vietnam. This won't be much harder to swallow.
All this is not to say that the Big P is not afraid of SMO fatigue at his end. He needs this war to end before fatigue sets there but there's still a lot of road to that spot.

Dear Professor Diesen,

Well, the point is that people in general have not recognised that the media are propaganda machines.
Well at some point it has to be understood that not much will change as long as the masses are addicted to “social media” which is the channel by which they annd their children are propaganda-brainwashes.

Until that’s stopped it’s no chance.
I like to believe that Glenn Diesen is serving more of actual truth, through social media. The mainstream media is fed by the USAID sponsored media (85-90%) in Ukraine, the made up "truth".
Alas, all too true.
Zelensky's downfall is going to spawn more downfall memes than a Joe Biden rant on the White House lawn.
This will be the sole positive aspect of his legacy.
Unless the west intervenes to stop a Russian military breakout and capture of the capital and Odessa
Intervenes with what?
Trump couldn’t have come at a better time for Europe and the European arm of NATO. French MSM and the less right see the Washington Moskou peace talks, not only as a point of no return but also as le moment supreme, to get the best out of a degrading Europe, to get independent from US but also to prepare for a European war with Russia in 2030, and get back the Ukrainian lost territories. This all under the pretext that Russia started to invade the Baltic and to defeat once and for all the aggressor.
Audit Zelensky’s Taxes.
Ukraian flag, lightly used—for sale cheap!
The end of Ukraine
Ukraine war is NOT over UNTIL Putin says it's over.
