Biden’s Grand Alliance against Russia in Ukraine beginning to recognize the N word…Negotiations

“Everybody knows the war is over, everybody knows the good guys lost.’– ‘Everybody Knows’ by Leonard Cohen

The US 32 month long proxy war against Russia is not quite over. But everyone in America’s important NATO allies knows America’s Ukraine proxy is losing badly with its military near collapse. The two hundred billions the US and NATO have poured into Ukraine have made not a dent in achieving the ‘good guys’ war aims of taking back the Donbas and Crimea, receiving reparations from Russia, and gaining NATO membership.

While President Biden betrays nary a hint of that stark reality, his European NATO allies, greatly more affected by the economic consequences of this than America, certainly are.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently said, “I believe that now is the time to discuss how to arrive at peace from this state of war, indeed at a faster pace.” Scholz further stated that he will impose a limit on open ended aid to Ukraine and is working on a diplomatic settlement that will include Ukraine ceding territory to Russia.

A senior French diplomat recently told Le Figaro the same thing, citing that the Donbas and Crimea are beyond Ukraine’s military capability and that France lines up with Germany that only a negotiated settlement will end the war.

Insulated from the economic angst of its Western European allies, the US sees no need to deal with reality. For President Biden and his war cabinet including VP Harris, the words ‘negotiated settlement’ and ‘ceding territory’ dare not pass the lips of US diplomats acting more like war generals than statespersons.

Biden and company are still running around like Chicken Little, chirping ‘The Russians are coming, the Russians are coming, to take over Poland on their march to the English Channel.’ That includes presidential candidate Kamala Harris who repeated that delusional meme in her presidential debate.

The US proxy war against Russia, with Ukrainians doing all the dying and the country in ruins, is headed to a negotiated settlement in spite of President Biden’s intransigence.

To refer back to the Leonard Cohen song above, ‘Everybody knows the war is over, everybody knows the good guys lost’….everybody except Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Ald. Tabares' criticism of Mayor Johnson's’ ceasefire resolution vote reflects poorly on Tabares, not Johnson

 

Ald. Tabares' criticism of Mayor Johnson's’ ceasefire resolution vote reflects poorly on Tabares, not Johnson

Ald. Silvana Tabares’ Chicago Tribune op-ed ‘Mayor Brandon Johnson’s leadership needs a lesson in math’ was fine when it stayed on Chicago governance issues of which Johnson is clearly struggling. But Tabares’ pivot to charging Johnson’s tie breaking Gaza ceasefire vote was “the real turning point” to demonstrate his incompetence was disheartening.

Breaking the tie to pass the ceasefire is a vote Johnson can be proud of for the rest of his life. For Tabares to denigrate it as being a “so called Gaza vote” trivializes the worst genocide we’re witnessing this century, nearly all of which is funded by the US government. Tabares further trivializes the resolution by charging it has “no real lie implications.”

It most certainly has real life implications for over 50,000 Palestinians who are now dead and the remaining 2,200,000 Palestinians with little food, water or medicine and whose houses, hospitals, and schools, have been turned to rubble. If the ceasefire resolution does, as Tabares claims, alienate “vast swaths of the Council”, why blame the messenger pushing back against Israel’s near yearlong collective punishment designed to remove all Palestinians from Gaza.

In supporting and passing the Gaza ceasefire resolution, Mayor Johnson is in extensive and good company. Since Richmond, CA passed the first city ceasefire resolution last October 25, over 100 cities have followed suit. Besides Chicago, that includes the large cities of Atlanta, Detroit, Houston, Providence, Sacramento, Seattle, St. Paul, St. Louis, San Francisco and Toledo.

I cannot comment on Ald. Tabares’ knowledge of Chicago governance issues. But I sure can recommend she spend some time studying the grotesque destruction of the Palestinian people in Gaza she’s using as a prop to hyperbolically criticize Mayor Johnson.

Biden, Harris sacrificing endless thousands of Ukrainians to retain presidency November 5

 

Biden, Harris sacrificing endless thousands of Ukrainians to retain presidency November 5

President Biden sent Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Kyiv last week to reassure Ukrainian President Zelensky that Ukraine can prevail against Russia with endless US billions in weapons. He also stated that Ukraine will eventually achieve NATO membership.

Blinken was lying to Zelensky. He, along with President Biden and Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, know full well the US proxy war against Russia in Ukraine is lost. Indeed, it was certain to be lost the day it started over two and a half years ago. It could not be won without direct US/NATO involvement, regardless of how many hundreds of billions we squander supplying Ukraine with weapons. Direct involvement was ruled out because it likely means WWIII. US weapons are worthless because Ukraine is running out of soldiers to use them.

The US provoked the Russian invasion with its 14 yearlong pledge to bring Ukraine into NATO. This, as many sensible former US diplomats warned, was a red line that would trigger a Russian response. They were right. The Biden administration was wrong.

The US essentially green-lighted the invasion believing US weaponry would allow Ukraine to weaken, even defeat Russia, a long sought US foreign policy goal to keep them out of the European political economy.

The result has been a catastrophe for Ukraine, now a shattered country. It spells the end of continued US domination of Europe that offered no seat at the table for Russia.

The Biden/Harris administration must now take the sensible, moral action of forcing Ukraine to sue for peace. Allowing Ukraine to bleed out with further destruction to its economy, infrastructure, demographics and hundreds thousands more casualties is a grotesque policy to pursue.

But Biden and Harris are committed to their declaration this is a holy way of autocracy v. freedom. They are loathe to allow any settlement which allows Russia to achieve their war aims of no NATO membership for Ukraine and independence for Donbas, with security for Ukraine going forward.

It’s even more improbable for them to do that with the election just 7 weeks away. Admitting defeat after squandering over $150 billion simply destroying Ukraine to allow a Russian victory will bring an avalanche of criticism from national security state warhawks. It would rip away the false notion that this was a just war to protect US national security interests. It could cost Harris the election.

So Biden and Harris continue to prevent and cover up Ukraine’s impending collapse till after Election Day. They continue to fling tens of billions in weaponry into Ukraine which will either be destroyed by overwhelming Russian firepower or sit idle unused.

Biden and Harris have made a pact with the Devil over Ukraine. Tens of thousands of Ukrainians must die to keep the Democrats from losing a war shortly before an election. A war that never should have been fought and that signals the impending demise of US unilateral control of the world.

During his first year, President Biden lost the 20 year long Afghan war. Losing 2 senseless wars in one term is a lost war too far to remain in power. Biden and Harris’ message to Ukraine? ‘Keep dying Ukrainians. We’ll figure something out after November 5’.
