Tale spodnji komentar je v svojem bistvu na las podoben mojemu včerajšnjemu o irelevantnosti tega, kar se pogovarjajo in sklepajo evropski politiki med seboj. Če ne morejo premagati Rusije v Ukrajini, če je ne morejo prisiliti v vdajo ali če je ne morejo prisiliti, da pristane na njihove pogoje, ker nimajo ničesar, s čimer bi to lahko zagotovili, so njihova srečanja, menja in sklepi irelevantni. Izpadejo samo kot klovni, ki se pred svojimi volilci delajo, da niso nepomembni statisti.
Medsebojno proxy vojno na ukrajinskih tleh bosta končali Amerika in Rusija (ki sta jo začeli) na podlagi širšega globalnega konteksta njunih mednarodnih odnosov. Evropski vazali pa lahko samo plačujejo za posledice svoje neumnosti, da so v tem boju slonov sodelovali kot koristni idioti.
In a summit with Zelensky and other now-panicking European vassal states, UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer says the summit’s goal is to outline a plan to stop the fighting in Ukraine and then discuss that with the United States.
Pure delusion. Starmer and these other European vassals have now deluded themselves into thinking that after screaming to keep the proxy war going for as long as it takes, that Donald Trump actually would give a moment of serious thought to what Europe has to say about the Ukraine proxy war.
This was always Washington’s proxy war, the UK and Europe were simply the attack dogs on the US’ leash. The end of the proxy war and the terms of its conclusion will be decided by Washington and Moscow.
Vladimir Putin doesn’t trust the UK’s and Europe’s leaders as far as he can throw them, so he will ignore any of their maximalist proposals. Donald Trump will be confused that the US’ loyal vassals are daring to try and formulate a plan of their own, and actually think it will get anywhere.
The ‘plan’ that these band of clowns will reach will be given to Donald Trump on a silver platter, tied up in a beautiful ribbon. Trump will take this ‘plan’ and unceremoniously throw it in the bin and continue the only serious diplomacy going on right now, which is between Washington and Moscow.
In summary, the US’ approach will be to look at this plan, toss it aside, say ‘anyway’, and continue direct negotiations with Putin. This summit is nothing but political performative pantomime for domestic political consumption in the Western European rump of Eurasia.
Sir Keir Starmer is trying to be the ‘great consequential statesman’ he thinks he is, European leaders are trying to look like they’re actually doing something of consequence while the world looks at them as vassals, and Zelensky is trying to sell a false reality to Ukrainians that it doesn’t matter if the Trump administration detests him, at least the irrelevant European leaders are on his side.
After promoting continuing the failed proxy war for as long as it takes for years, now this confusing, irrelevant performance of pretending to want peace.
