Now, Even Zelensky Knows He’ll Lose The War In Ukraine

15 November 2024, by Eric Zuesse. (All of my recent articles can be seen here.)

On November 14th, Zelensky’s top advisor, Mikhail Podoliak, went public on the Telegram social-media site saying “It is important not to confuse the concept of ‘nuclear weapons’ with an ‘optimal deterrence option’,” because even if and when Ukraine would have its first nuclear bomb, Ukraine “cannot deter the empire with the second largest nuclear arsenal in the world.” (Actually, according to the 2017 Nobel-Peace-Prize-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, Russia has 5,889, and U.S. has 5,224.)

So, now, everyone knows that even if the most extreme of the neoconservatives (advocates for the U.S. Government to take over — via subversions, coups, sanctions, and invasions — control of the entire world and so create the first-ever all-encompassing global empire) achieve their current aim of supplying to Ukraine a nuke or materials for a nuke, this war will be won only by non-nuclear means, as Russia now is in the process of doing. 

Now, even Zelensky know this. He knows that the longer that he fails to surrender to Russia, the more Ukrainians will die pointlessly in what has become a doomed fight.

As regards Biden and Trump, their concerns are different: this war is, and ever since February 2014 has been, a proxy-war between America and Russia, which has been waged in the battlefields of Ukraine. Trump does not want to be left holding the bag for it at the time when America and its colonies will be releasing Ukraine from their grip on it. He wants this to happen before January 20th.

By contrast: Biden will do everything possible, short of allowing Ukraine to use U.S.-and-allied weapons to bomb The Kremlin — thus sparking WW3 — in order to keep Ukraine in this war until Trump takes office on January 20th.

This means that Biden and Trump have exactly opposite skins in this game.

Stephen Bryen, who is now retired from a stellar career at the very highest levels both in the U.S. Military-Industrial Complex and in the Executive and also the Legislative branches of the U.S. Government, and whose predictions about this war thus far have consistently turned out to be true, says:

If the US stops supporting Ukraine, the war is over.  Europe will not step in to replace the US for many reasons.  Firstly, Europe does not have weapons that can replace American supplies.  Secondly, Europe does not have finance other than seized Russian funds.  Thirdly, Europe’s politics are changing.  The collapse of Germany’s government coalition is the handwriting on the wall for Europe.  The British are happy to keep demanding more support for Ukraine, but the British have no money and no army either. 

Beyond the above arguments, which are obvious, is the fact that the Ukraine war would never have happened had the United States and US-led NATO stayed out of Ukraine in the first place. [In order to remain tolerable among his former peers, he never refers to the U.S. Government’s coup that started Ukraine’s war.] Underlying this was the NATO theory of continued expansion, that includes much more than Ukraine and includes all of Russia’s former empire.

He went on to recommend that NATO “revert to being a defensive alliance,” which it never actually was, and can’t ever be. But, even to this day, NATO still refers to itself as being only a “defensive” alliance, and accuses Russia as being the aggressor — despite the fact that even in the very same year that NATO was founded, 1949, the U.S. CIA, which had started in 1947, attempted coups throughout all the lands that were in the Soviet Union and that the Soviet Union had freed from Hitler’s grip: Albania, Belarus, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, and Ukraine. So, this military alliance that the U.S. Government had created, NATO (and the Soviet Union responded in 1955 by forming the Warsaw Pact), was part of Truman’s (and his hero and successor Eisenhower’s) design of the military-industrial complex, to take over the world. 

Here are just some of NATO’s most flagrant lies: “NATO is not a threat to Russia.”  /   “NATO has tried to build a partnership with Russia, developing dialogue and practical cooperation in areas of common interest. Practical cooperation has been suspended since 2014 in response to Russia’s illegal and illegitimate annexation of Crimea, Ukraine, which NATO will never recognise.”  /  “NATO is not at war with Russia.”  /  (and, for more of the same from the real source: the U.S. Government, its Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Mark Milley, on 28 February 2023, told Congress that “The United States is not at war with Russia, even though Russia tries to portray that.”

However, as NATO truthfully says: “The collective defense arrangements in NATO served to place the whole of Western Europe under the American ‘nuclear umbrella.’” It’s all about the U.S. Government, really.

Finally, America is in the process of losing this war (which America started), thus far WITHOUT resorting to the nuclear, WW3, stage. Russia simply won’t allow itself to be trapped in the way that America (its Deep State) has been craving to do. And this is the reason why America is losing Ukraine’s war.

What, then, about Biden (who wants to dump the problem into Trump’s lap) and Trump (who wants the defeat to come on Biden’s watch)? That’s the big question now, and it’s a big “tug-of-war” between them. Obama started it, they continued and escalated it, and they will finish it.

The policy of at least Presidents Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden, has been, as Obama expressed it, “The United States is and remains the one indispensable nation”, meaning that every other nation is “dispensable.” Finally, America is dispensing with Ukraine, and the only real issue about the matter is on whose’s Presidential watch this will occur.

PS: If you like this article, please email it to all your friends or otherwise let others know about it. None of the U.S.-and-allied ‘news’-media will likely publish it (nor link to it, since doing that might also hurt them with Google or etc.). I am not asking for money, but I am asking my readers to spread my articles far and wide, because I specialize in documenting what the Deep State is constantly hiding. This is, in fact, today’s samizdat.

Investigative historian Eric Zuesse’s latest book, AMERICA’S EMPIRE OF EVIL: Hitler’s Posthumous Victory, and Why the Social Sciences Need to Change, is about how America took over the world after World War II in order to enslave it to U.S.-and-allied billionaires. Their cartels extract the world’s wealth by control of not only their ‘news’ media but the social ‘sciences’ — duping the public.
