In the NATO-Russia Ukrainian War, the peace wars of propaganda are over. The political struggle for the post-war peace has begun. Ukraine has been forced under Russian military power and American political and economic power to begin the process of capitulation. This process will be as dangerous as is the present war for Ukrainian President Volodomyr Zelenskiy’s surreal, ‘simulacric’ iteration of the semi-oligarchic, semi-neofascist Maidan regime.
Russia has won the ‘politics by other means’ in the NATO-Russia Ukrainian war, and Moscow will be as firm in its pursuit of winning the peace as it has been in prosecuting Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ‘special military operation.’ Russia is positioned, therefore, to win the politics of negotiating the war’s end of the subsequent peace, such as it might be achieved.
The causes are many. TO READ FURTHER, PLEASE SUBSCRIBE TO MY SUBSTACK SITE AT https://gordonhahn.substack.com
