Washington wants 'cover' not peace in Ukraine


The Islander (@TheIslanderNews)

So now The Guardian admits it: capitulation from Kiev. After turning Ukraine into a four-year slaughterhouse for the neocons, burning through [well over] $400 billion, and feeding a nation into the trenches like coal into a furnace, Washington wants “peace”?

No, DC wants cover. Because the empire finally sees what the battlefield already wrote in blood... Russia won.

Let’s stop pretending this is diplomacy. This is the geopolitical version of a bankruptcy filing.

The Guardian, like Axios and Reuters, reports a 28-point peace plan built in backchannels between Trump’s envoy Witkoff and Kremlin adviser Dmitriev, after the Trump-Putin Alaska summit. On paper: ceasefire, security guarantees, a new European security architecture. But the panic behind it is unmistakable.

The battlefield forced this, not diplomacy. Pokrovsk is effectively gone. Zaporizhzye is collapsing. Kupiansk and Seversk also collapsing. Manpower is collapsing. Mobilization is broken. Desertions 4x higher than 2024. And beneath that, the silent ledger of death: a horrific 18.5-to-1 exchange ratio, Ukrainian cemeteries expanding faster than the government can hide obituary notices. The war’s real statistics are written in headstones, with over a million Ukranians sacrificed for the Empire.

The budget is a crater patched with a €140B imaginary loan backed by Russian assets Europe still won’t confiscate because what’s left of the Western financial order would be decimated.

And here’s what The Guardian doesn’t say...

Ukraine had off-ramps. Real ones.

Minsk, a gift for Ukraine until Kiev tossed it aside with contempt under Western pressure. Istanbul still offered reasonable terms, until Boris Johnson flew into Kiev like an imperial proconsul and ordered Zelensky to tear it up, to keep Ukraine dying. And Zelensky obeyed.

That’s why the Trump-Putin Alaska summit is back from the dead. Not out of hope from the West, out of fear, out of humiliation.

Here’s the part The Guardian won’t print: this ends in capitulation whether Kiev signs or not.

If Zelensky signs, the West will quietly transition to a post-Zelensky brutal reality, not to honour him, but because his usefulness ends the moment the ink dries. He’ll get the Saakashvili [former corrupt President of Georgia and US agent] treatment. Zelensky should have studied that trajectory, it was a preview of his own.

If Zelensky refuses? Then the machinery that’s been light on the depths of the corruption scandal (it’s far greater than a mere €100M) will roar to life.

Ukraine’s own anti-corruption bodies — NABU, SAPO, the prosecutors Washington funds and influences, will not need permission to “discover” what they’ve conveniently overlooked for years. They will not need instructions to dredge up tenders, shell companies, offshore trails, scandals that dwarf golden-toilet jokes and basic energy kickbacks.

This is what happens to Western-backed puppets who reach their expiry date. Ask Saakashvili. He didn’t get a retirement ceremony, he got a cell.

Zelensky is not being positioned for honour. He is being positioned for disposal.

The Guardian headline says “capitulation.” But the deeper truth is this: the war will not end in negotiation. It will end when the political edifice built around Zelensky collapses under the weight of the very corruption the West once tolerated and now stands ready to weaponize for the clean-up phase.

And in the background, NATO sits humiliated, 32 nations, trillions spent, an industrial base in ruins, unable to defeat a country it once dismissed as “a gas station with nukes.”

Call the draft whatever you like... framework, roadmap, peace plan. It’s none of those things. It is the administrative paperwork of total defeat, NATO’s defeat, cosmic humiliation.

Because the empire isn’t seeking peace. It’s seeking a way to exit the disaster it engineered, without owning a single drop of the blood it spilled. But it will own the humiliation. And that humiliation will be cosmic.
