The pro-war West does not want a neutral Ukraine

Look at their faces. These neo-con EU leaders are now stuck with the war on Russia which their populations don't want. Their only hope is to get the US to keep funding it. But Trump (for what ever reasons) is not cooperating with the plan. Though the US is happy to still supply weapons to Ukraine if the EU pays for them - at a 10% mark up. But the EU economies are in trouble. Thus all these political hacks are in trouble too.

NATO’s pro-war wing wants to prevent Ukraine from becoming neutral at all costs, as Russia has set as one of its goals, the correspondent of the Hungarian Community for Peace reported on Wednesday.

The will of the British-French-German war supporters, known as the “coalition of the willing”, meets with American resistance, since President Trump called Ukraine a “buffer zone” and said that it has always been so in history. Although Trump did not talk about a neutral Ukraine, his opinion suggests that he is leaning towards an international agreement that would sanctify Ukraine’s intermediate status, meeting the Russian demand for this, although the matter still needs to be clarified.

What is certain is that Russia managed to divide NATO and get the Western allies to recognize the need for dialogue and climb out of the trench they dug for Russia, but fell into themselves.

Trump sees significantly further than the leaders of the Western European powers, as he is not only aware of the changed balance of power in favor of the East, but through the dialogue with the Russians, from which the European wing of NATO has so far refrained, he also knows Moscow’s intentions regarding the peace settlement.

But digesting the new situation created by the Russian-American summit in Alaska is far from easy. Therefore, an American-Ukrainian-European committee has now been formed to develop the security guarantees to be provided to Ukraine. On the American side, Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio, and Presidential Special Envoy Witkoff will participate. The goal is to reduce the chance of losing Ukraine to the lowest possible level, and at the same time to get used to the idea that Ukraine will not remain the same.

Since there are no representatives of Russia in the commission, it can be assumed that Moscow could take its position as an offer at most. In the given situation, it seems more likely that the purpose of the commission created at the American initiative is for the “collective West” to prepare for the inevitable, sooner or later settlement with Russia, and for Western Europe to grope for the renewal of the defiantly interrupted dialogue with Moscow.

Trump’s America is far ahead of it by saying that Ukraine cannot be a member of NATO, and Crimea belongs to Russia, now it is up to Western Europe to swallow the frog and prove that it really wants peace. They have to face, for example, the fact that their protégé, Zelensky, may be an obstacle in the way of peace, and they have to let the Ukrainians choose a new president.

Meanwhile, the Russian army is in Kharkiv County, near Sobolevskaya.

Update from RT:

....Because Ukraine had become rhetorically inseparable from the EU, the Euro-jokers in charge started invoking a future Russian invasion date for Europe of 2030. It’s like a new form of hypochondria. Except instead of reading about a disease online and convincing yourself that you have it, they started believing that Russia was invading them just from observing events in Ukraine.

This “2030 invasion” propaganda seems to have originated from NATO-adjacent think tanks like the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which last year cited 2030 as the date of Russia’s “military reconstitution.” The RAND Corporation has also warned of a “revanchist Russia” in a report on the “future of warfare in 2030” that will fight “its neighbors.” NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte then parlayed all this into a demand for European members of the US-led weapons lobby to cough up 5% of GDP in defense spending, up from the 2% previously demanded at Trump’s insistence.

Briliant metaphor of the Europeans falling into the trench that they dug for the Russians. This 2030 nonsense of a threat from a revanchist Russia is typical of someone projecting their own aspirations on another.
