Zelensky to be next Saddam? Qadaffi?

Another big week is ahead of us.

All eyes will be on the outcome of President Trump and Zelensky's meeting on Monday.

My personal Take:

I think this coming Monday, when Zelensky comes to the White House, it is not going to be anything like his first visit with President Trump.

I think Reporters will NOT be in the Oval Office when the meeting takes place.

I think President Trump is going to privately tell Zelensky something like:

"The war with Russia is over.  Ukraine has lost.

At present, you have lost 1.2 Million men.  You are losing 1,000-2,000 more men per day.  The Russians have lost far less.

Ukraine is fielding 5 Battalions a month in new troops. But Ukraine is losing 8 - 10 Battalions per month through injuries, deaths, and desertions.  Ukraine  simply cannot sustain this level of attrition.

Russia is fielding three times as many Battalions - 15 per month - and not losing nearly as many men as Ukraine.

The United States has provided so much weaponry to Ukraine, that our own stocks are running dangerously low.  At our presently available rate of production, it will take SEVEN YEARS for the United States to re-supply ourselves, and that's NOT with continued supplies to Ukraine, or to Europe!

It isn't even just a matter of not sending more of our own supplies; we simply do not have the ability to PRODUCE more weapons, faster.

We will not endanger our own defense, to continue providing weaponry to Ukraine.  We will simply NOT do that.

Europe is completely unable to make-up for the supply of weapons the US provides.  So when the US stops, and we are stopping, the Ukraine Army will have maybe two months worth of weaponry before it runs out completely and collapses.  By three months from now, it will be over, and there's nothing any of us can do to prevent this.

Even if the US and all of Europe impose the harshest economic sanctions possible, Russia can still ride-them-out and win decisively on the battlefield. Even if Europe outright STEALS Russia's sovereign wealth funds, there is simply no place that can supply the weapons such money would buy.  They don't have the weaponry in stock and they cannot build it fast enough.  

Russia has won.  They hold all the cards on the battlefield.  The whole world would see that if this war goes on.  Such a visible defeat scenario is not what the US or Europe want the world to see.

So today, I am telling you that you and your legislature, the Verkhovna Rada, will accept ALL of Russia's terms to end this war and re-establish peace.  EVERY SINGLE TERM the Russians insist upon, Ukraine must accept.

These are Russia's Terms:

        • Putin’s proposal for ending the war in Ukraine:
        • No ceasefire until a comprehensive agreement is reached.
        • Ukraine to fully withdraw troops from Donetsk and Luhansk.
        • Russia to freeze front lines in Kherson and Zaporizhia.
        • Ukraine to regain control of areas in Sumy and Kharkiv.
        • Ukraine to formally recognize Russian sovereignty over Crimea.
        • Partial lifting of sanctions against Russia.
        • Ukraine barred from joining NATO.
        • Putin open to Ukraine receiving specific security guarantees.
        • Official status for Russian language in Ukraine.
        • Freedom for the Russian Orthodox Church to operate in Ukraine.

There is no other alternative.  If you refuse even ONE of their terms, the war will go on, and in three months, they will win it all anyway.

I realize you may not want to accept this situation, but that's up to you.  

If you do what I tell you, the US will continue financial support to help rebuild Ukraine.  If you refuse to do what I tell you, then everything I have said will happen anyway, but the US will walk away, and Ukraine will get nothing.

So it is in your long term interest to do exactly what I have just told you, because in the end - two, maybe three months from now--  this war will end with Ukraine's decisive defeat.  There is nothing any of us can do to stop it."

Now, if I am right - and I'm pretty certain that I AM -- a rational person in Zelensky's position would see the truth, and agree to do what he was told.   But Zelensky SEEMS TO ME to have a chemically altered brain from what I personally perceive to be long-term cocaine use.   Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think I'm wrong.

As such, I suspect his chemically-affected ego will rise up in outright rage, and he will storm out of the White House - or be told to leave - again.

It's a sad thing what has taken place with Ukraine.  They got suckered into believing they could fight a super power like Russia, and win with help from the West.

That assessment was utterly incompetent.  The people in the State Department, and the Department of Defense who believed such nonsense, and presented that nonsense to decision-makers, should all be fired if they're not already gone.

Any moron who took even the minimal time to look at the history of Russia, could have seen long before this war broke out, such an effort would be a Fool's errand.  From Napoleon to Hitler, when Russian Slavic go to war, they do not stop until they win.  

World War 2 was the "tell."  Russia lost twenty seven MILLION people fighting Hitler.   For anyone to have thought Russia would allow a Nazi-infiltrated government in Ukraine, to rise-up next door, was a fool.

Anyone in NATO who thought they could continue to surround Russia without consequence, was also a fool.

No one gets to surround someone else's country, with missiles, all aimed at that country, and get away with it.

Russia had to defend itself from NATO expansion.   Russia has now done that.   NATO should take the hint.

Besides, there's business to be done.  We need to get back to engaging in commerce.  The sooner, the better.

 

UPDATE 11:04 AM EDT --

I have just been updated.  Europe is sending some of its "leaders" to be with Zelensky for the White House meeting tomorrow.  My bet is they want to make sure the war goes on.  Trump should sit them ALL down and tell ALL of them, what I wrote, above.

European leaders to join Zelensky in Washington: 

European Commission President von der Leyen. 

President of Finland Stubb. 

President of France Macron. 

German Chancellor Merz. 

NATO Secretary General Rutte. 

Italian Prime Minister Meloni.

Another big week is ahead of us.
