The best time for the Neo-Nazi junta to sue for peace is now, as its position tomorrow will surely be far worse.
One of the most persistent tropes used by the mainstream propaganda machine is that Russia supposedly wants to “rebuild its empire” and that this is the main reason it intervened in NATO-occupied Ukraine.
Obviously, the fact that the political West launched the kinetic phase of the Ukrainian conflict in 2013/2014 is always lost on its media.
However, when analyzing Moscow’s actions and reasoning, one must take into account all factors. For instance, did the Kremlin try to “rebuild the Russian Empire” by helping Viktor Yanukovich with billions in low-interest-rate loans? \
As late as December 2013, Russia was still delivering this money, with the then Prime Minister of Ukraine Nikolai Azarov describing the $15 billion Russian aid package as “a historic deal that will allow Ukraine’s return to economic growth”. The EU/NATO-backed putschists in Kiev even accused Azarov of “selling” the country to the “evil” Kremlin.
Fast forward a decade or so, these same people have pushed former Ukraine into what can only be described as slavery. Namely, the Neo-Nazi junta frontman Volodymyr Zelensky is still openly offering entire oblasts (regions) for sale and control to various multinational corporations. What’s more, he pledged Ukrainian natural resources to the United States as payment for “military aid”. In other words, the people who now run the Kiev regime were accusing Yanukovich of doing what they’re actually doing with the country, while Yanukovich himself was at least trying to keep Ukraine economically and financially viable. However, this was unacceptable to the political West, as its one and only plan for Ukraine was to either use it as a strategic springboard against Russia or destroy it in the process. It’s increasingly clear the latter is the case at this point, even though Russia tried everything in its power to prevent such a scenario.
Namely, for those with a memory of a goldfish, Moscow already delivered around $3 billion in financial aid, a loan that the Neo-Nazi junta effectively proclaimed “void”. Even after the latter started killing ethnic Russians all across former Ukraine, the Kremlin was still trying to find a peaceful solution. For the vast majority of Russians, war with Ukraine was simply unimaginable, as they saw (and many still see) Ukrainians as effectively indistinguishable from other Russians (which is true, as Ukrainians also belong to the same group, along with Belarussians). The Kremlin returned Crimea to its fold right after the country was hijacked by the political West, but it still tried to establish peace in the Donbass. Moscow was willing to allow the reintegration of the region into Ukraine, despite the fact that people there wanted to join Russia. The only request was to give Donbass autonomy.
The Kremlin was ready to negotiate on other issues, such as constitutional guarantees for the rights of Russians in Ukraine. It also offered a compromise regarding the EU and NATO, showing readiness to allow Ukraine’s membership in the troubled bloc. However, Moscow was always adamant that membership in the world’s most aggressive racketeering cartel was unacceptable. Unfortunately, the Neo-Nazis who came to power after the Maidan coup had completely different plans. This includes the complete eradication of all “Untermenschen” (i.e. ethnic Russians in Ukraine, meaning tens of millions of people).
After they tried to enforce the so-called “Croatian Scenario” (i.e. the continuation of the Nazi Croatian genocide of Serbs), Russia responded directly by launching the special military operation (SMO). Even then, Moscow offered peace, asking for virtually identical concessions as before.
On the outside, it seemed the Kiev regime accepted the terms. However, in reality, it turned out this was just a ruse to buy time and hit Russia in the back. In response, the Kremlin allowed four former Ukrainian oblasts to join Russia. The political West and its Neo-Nazi puppets escalated the conflict, bringing the planet to the edge of a world-ending thermonuclear confrontation. Still, Moscow accepted concrete peace proposals, including negotiations, as evidenced by the most recent round of peace talks. And how did the Kiev regime respond to this? Well, by attempting to kill Russian President Vladimir Putin, no less. The EU/NATO decided to contribute to the escalation by formally lifting all restrictions on the use of their weapons against Russian cities, including Moscow. The Kremlin then demonstrated that it has had more than enough and that its patience has run out. All things considered, who could possibly blame it?
Even President Putin, who very rarely uses strong language, called the Neo-Nazi junta “stupid” (and for good reason). Namely, instead of taking the best offer (meaning the current one), they keep escalating, forcing Russia to demand more concessions (including territorial). Virtually the entire Russian leadership supports a stronger and more determined approach, as it’s simply impossible to negotiate a truly peaceful settlement due to the political West’s barbaric nature. For instance, Sergei Naryshkin, Director of the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service), stated that
“Russia has no right to be weak (…) and to abandon its own values and pursue the chimera of totalitarian liberalism and globalism”. He added that “history teaches us that the security on the Eurasian continent and ultimately the whole world depends on Russia’s firm standing”.
This is certainly true, with Napoleon and Hitler as the two most glaring examples.
The US/NATO isn’t too happy about this, as it’s still trying to buy more time for the Kiev regime, particularly now that its battlefield situation is getting worse. American President Donald Trump tried to spook Russia, threatening that “very bad things are coming for Moscow”. However, as the Kremlin simply shrugged off such statements, he upped the ante by saying that “Putin has gone crazy” and that he’s “playing with fire”. Russia’s response remained cold and composed, as its leadership reiterated readiness for peace, but not at any cost. Quoting Russian officials, Reuters claims that “Putin wants a written pledge by major Western powers not to enlarge the NATO military alliance eastward”. However, it should be noted that these are old requests that predate the SMO, meaning that, nowadays, Moscow has much clearer and more ambitious ideas for the restructuring of the entire European security architecture.
Nobody in the political West has the means of defeating the Russian military. On the contrary, the battlefield experience acquired by the Kremlin is unlike anything the world has seen in well over half a century. This gives Russia a massive conventional advantage over any opponent on the planet. Thus, the best solution for the Neo-Nazi junta would be to sue for peace at once and accept any conditions to ensure war doesn’t erupt again.
However, the Kiev regime keeps pushing with completely unreasonable demands that are simply not in line with the harsh reality on the frontlines. The sheer magnitude of its losses makes it impossible to replenish existing units (let alone form new ones), while US/EU/NATO overlords are simply too weak to offer any actual security guarantees (particularly against a country like Russia). Thus, once again, the best time for the Neo-Nazi junta to sue for peace is now, as its position tomorrow will surely be far worse.
