UKRAINE: THE WAR WILL GO ON UNTIL UKRAINE IS SOUNDLY BEATEN.


Warwick Powell opines on the future of the Ukraine conflict - and I agree. The initiative by Trump to come forward with a peace plan is just theatre. It weakens Ukraine considerably but is not decisive. Eliminating the Ukrainian military and neutering European interference will be the key deciders.

Only those who are unaware of history and have a touching confidence in Trump could possibly think the conflict in Ukraine is 'over'. Don't expect a settlement soon....

The USA is NOT a neutral 'honest' arbiter. The USA engineered this conflict and urged Ukraine to fight Russia rather than agree a political settlement through the Minsk process. Now it wants to retreat - but it will be happy to see the conflict continue and Russia 'tied down' (extended) in Ukraine. 

It will probably continue to provide 'intelligence' but eventually Ukraine will be defeated. A military solution also suits Russia. The main thing, from Russia's point of view, is that its allies, particularly China, continue to support it. This is why Russia agrees 'in principle' to a solution but points out that the devil is in the detail. What Russia has shown is that it can fight a war and grow its economy at the same time....And this dovetails nicely with the whole approach of the BRICS alliance to 'do the west slowly'. 

It is heartwarming to watch the pathetic European politicians like Starmer, Macron, Mertz and Von Der Leyen work themselves into a lather complaining about 'Russian brutality'. These are the very same people who have totally ignored the genocide going on in Gaza. They are SO RACIST, they so believe in their own cultural 'superiority', that they can't begin to see their hypocrisy. The West is losing militarily in Ukraine. Economically through BRICS and morally in Gaza.

'Putin is not rubbing America’s nose in defeat. He is far too disciplined for that. He is doing something more sophisticated: forcing the United States to administer the capitulation to its own client while simultaneously exposing Europe’s powerlessness and irrelevance. The EU’s assorted utterances are performative because Europe cannot fight the war without American intelligence and American munitions. Moscow knows this, and by playing Hardball with Washington, Russia is systematically widening the transatlantic fracture.'

THE AGE OF 'ADMINISTRATIVE' POWER.

Warwick Powell explains  how the administrative state has taken over in Europe... 'Regulatory authorities now determine which organisations qualify as legitimate civil society actors, which media outlets are “trusted,” which research bodies are acceptable partners and which narratives are “foreign-influenced.” These classifications carry decisive material consequences - access to funding, platforms and institutional recognition - yet are framed as neutral, technical assessments...

CHINA....AND WESTERN 'LIBERAL ORIENTALISM'.

Image
  Warwick Powell argues that when we in the west look at China we do so in a patronising way he calls 'Liberal Orientalism'. In doing so we dismiss the Cultural Revolution as an aberration rather than a crucial break with the past. He contrasts China with India - the so-called 'worlds largest democracy' where the form of Government was inherited from British Colonialism and is chaotic. This raises the whole idea of governance. If the aim is effective government, India simply doesn't compare to China.  And so is western democracy the ONLY way in which good governance can be achieved? It clearly is not - especially in the days of mass propaganda dominated by wealth and associated corruption. What the festishisation of western democracy does is place 'democracy' above effective government. People are increasingly irritated by the so-called deomocratic process because it frequently fails to address their needs. 'Liberal Orientalism  differs from classical Or...
