Ukraine-Russia peace talks: possible as process, unlikely as outcome

Moscow and its allies have no plans to negotiate with President Trump or anyone else in the West

client/title.list_title

They view any changes in the leadership of democratic states with a single aim: to dismantle the current international order, destroy NATO, and remove the U.S. from its position as a global leader. In Moscow and other capitals of the Axis of Evil, it is believed that political processes in the U.S., including election outcomes, work in their favor.

To reset the international order, the Axis of Evil needs chaos and the discrediting of America's global leadership. This is why the Kremlin is launching massive strikes across Ukraine following Donald Trump's promise of peace if he wins the election. Putin aims to show that the words of the U.S. president hold no weight.

How quickly Washington officially recognizes and accepts this plan as reality will determine the size of the Axis of Evil, the scale, and the devastating consequences of the inevitable confrontation between the Free World and the neo-GULAG. The longer the White House delays making a decision, the larger the Axis of Evil will grow, and the greater the scale and consequences of the global clash will be.

This is why "peace talks" are possible as a process, but not as an outcome. If there is no "war in Ukraine," a new serious problem will be created for the U.S. Peace will not come until one side suffers an unconditional defeat. 

That side can and should be Russia — and it is preferable to achieve this before the Axis of Evil solidifies on paper. This would allow the Kremlin’s current allies to shift all blame onto Moscow while emerging unscathed, ready to seek normalization of relations with Washington and the entire Free World within the framework of the current international order.
