Ukraine
June 4, 2024 Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, is starting to get upset. On June 2, he gave an interview to the Guardian newspaper in which he said Trump risks becoming a 'loser president' if he cuts military aid to Ukraine. Moreover, if Trump imposes what Zelensky called a "bad peace deal" on Ukraine, it would mean the end of the United States as a 'global actor." According to Zelensky, the United States "will no longer be the leader of the world." This is what the former comedian says, who became the president of Ukraine due to a strange election in 2019. He doesn't have a lot of international geopolitical experience on his CV, but Zelenskyy has a go. Trump leads the polls in November. Zelensky is taking a risk, but he knows what the alternative is - Zelensky is trying to drag the United States into direct war with Russia. The Ukrainians actually attacked a massive radar installation (and possibly a second one) deep inside Russia that is part of the ballistic nuclear early warning network. A Ukrainian 'intelligence officer' bragged to Western media in a cavalier tone of someone who had no idea what he was talking about: 'Those radars were Russia's eyes, and we at least partially shut them down." This Ukrainian does not understand what this means. Attacking the early warning system of any nuclear power plant is highly destabilizing, as it can be interpreted as preparation for a nuclear strike. Then when the next administration takes over, there will be no chance of negotiation; those radars, Russia's eyes, will act against US forces. After November, the Biden administration doesn't care. But Ukraine would be a stupid war for America. It is stupid for America in the same way that most wars since the end of the Cold War have been stupid. These were wars of choice, not wars of necessity. And Zelensky drags America into the war - or Zelensky loses. Washington must tell the small bantam cockerel, big attitude, that he must learn to negotiate peace or he will end up in a stew pot. (Source: brusselssignal)
