“Meeting with Congress, Zelensky Asks for More Weapons and a No-Fly Zone” reads a recent headline from the New York Times. It does not take great strategic acumen to realize that trying to put up a no-fly zone over Ukraine – whose airspace is now controlled by the Russians – would inevitably lead to a direct clash with the military assets of the Russian Federation.

The entire crisis could so easily have been avoided if Zelensky and his comic opera government had pragmatically compromised with Putin's , not unreasonable demands to annex those two eastern provinces with a pro Russian population that have only been part of the Ukraine since 1954 ... that, and a pledge to NEVER join NATO would have likely solved the problem , but instead the feckless EUnuchs encouraged the comedian Zelensky to resist and provoked Putin to invade ; and now we have the usual suspects engaging in pathological altruism and virtue signalling while the Ukraine cities are being destroying by bombing..Covid hysteria has suddenly morphed into Russia hysteria as the population of the West are spoon-fed half truths and orchestrated like a group of clapping seals ...there are no wise and pragmatic adults here
The western powers are not interested in this curious concept called "compromise" which you adduce. Rather, they are interested in the complete subjugation of the entire world before their rapacious claws; so first Russia, then China, then the small fry such as Iran.
Last night I rewatched this 2016 Oliver Stone interview with Putin where he clearly expressed his concerns about NATO and the emotionally charged irrational responses of Western leaders. Please share it among friends and family alike. More than ever we need a return to objectivity and empathy, both of which are sorely missing in this latest adventure in the Twilight Zone - https://youtu.be/8mq5Sqc3GQ8
As always, your analysis is on target. Let's just hope that enough people wake up to this Zelensky's game. We may see through this, but what good will our foresight be if we are all obliterated to kingdom come because people are too stupid and care more about "virtue signaling".
I'll tell you one thing. I've always thought if mankind would go out, it would be an epic theatrical bang, some honorable end... But humanity will kill each other over insanity, we will really go out with a whimper at this rate.
Civilization is truly deranged, and now we may just be mere spectators of it's collapse.
Great Powers are entitled to a sphere of influence and buffer state . America understands that all too well and that's why they have had the anachronistic Monroe Doctrine for 200 years providing a buffer zone in Central/ South America
But don't expect the West to admit this double standard and gross hypocrisy
He is a globalist shill, installed by "them." He's saying what he's told to say an doing what he's been told to do. Much like every single head of what used to be sovereign governments. Those days are over, forever.
NATO is in EStonia , a mere 5 hours drive from St Petersburg ! Would America allow the Russians an airforce base 5 hours drive south of Los Angeles in Mexico ?
Would America have allowed Mexico to join the Warsaw Pact in 1980 ?
America was prepared to engage in nuclear war over the island of Cuba in 1962
And yet, Russia is not allowed a buffer zone and to demand neutrality from Ukraine even though they have a long border and close family ties going back a thousand years
The WEst and NATO invaded the sovereign country of Iraq for ''Regime Change'' and yet when Russia does something similar it's Putin = Hitler
There's an eerie echo of 1914 going on here and it's almost the entire fault of the arrogant, feckless West for needlessly provoking the Russian bear ... if feckless losers and incompetents like Macron, Tredeau, Johnson, Biden , Klaus Swab and George Soros are on the same side , then that should give any sensible person cause for concern
Both Putin and Hitler invaded contiguous nations for exactly the same reason; ie their ethnic compatriots were being genocided in those lands, so the comparison between Hitler and Putin is an apt one - but not for the reasons generally given.
You speak from ignorance, not knowledge. That a massacre of German civilians is well recognized in Bromberg at least, is simple historical fact, which I advise you to familiarize yourself with before revealing your ignorance again.
America was not "prepared to engage in nuclear war over the island of Cuba."
Like every bully, they blustered and threatened, but eventually had to back down, and first withdraw their own missiles from Turkey, as Kruschev demanded, whereupon the USSR then reciprocated, and removed its own hardware from Cuba.
The story you have been told is extremely disingenuous to say the least.
Zelensky playing piano with his tool is brilliant. Comparable to Justin Timberlake’s SNL skit ‘Junk-in-a box’. Let’s agree to disagree- Zelensky is the hero-of-the-moment, an anomaly in a sea jelly spines.
The feckless , incompetent EUnuchs and Nato are haplessly stumbling into war here ; they are engaging in a form of Russian roulette and are a fugitive from the law of averages ..they are provoking the Russian bear as they think they can treat Russia like they did with Serbia in Kosovo
The gross hypocrisy is not missed by most Russsians as the West invaded Iraq for ''regime change'' and yet when Russia does something similar in Ukraine , then it's hysterical calls for Putin = Hitler
Both Putin and Hitler are / were honourable men who sought peace with their opponents endlessly, before finally shrugging, and in the former case, saying "Then let them talk to Shoigu, if they will not talk to Lavrov."
Hitler also spent an inordinate amount of time trying to get agreement with the Poles, but London sabotaged every move, as Washington continues the same modus operandi with the Ukrainians.
I don’t think we can stop him. The media is at fault here so we’re basically up the creek with a nuke strapped to it. Am I wrong here? Put me in my place.
If by "him" you mean Zelensky, then it is fairly clear that he has an enormous amount of work still to do if he wishes to sacrifice the entire world on the blood soaked altar he has erected in the Donbas.
Just as perfidious Albion set up the Poles to continue their genocide against ethnic Germans stranded in their nation since the so called Treaty of Versailles, thus rendering Hitler's invasion of that land both inevitable and understandable; so the perfidious neocons surrounding Biden set up Zelensky to continue the massacre of ethnic Russians trapped in the ersatz "nation of Ukraine" throughout the post-Maidan period; and so yet again inviting invasion.
The irony is that Putin, in his repeated denunciations of so called "neonazi" elements in Ukraine, yet is acting precisely as Hitler did, and for exactly the same reasons.

Tim, the western powers don't want that; the Globalist Cabal does; there's a difference.

What an idiotic view of things
Or alternatively, one which you cannot refute, and so have to resort to the strategy of scoundrels, the ad hominem.

It's a very good interview; thank you for the link.

That'sa neo nazi propaganda ..sudetenlanders were not being ''genocided '', nor were Germans in Poland , nor are Russians in UKraine

I concur wholeheartedly with this assess

Nazi Jew? Sad but true, whether by intent or ineptitude?
The dude is friends with Kalousey klause ain't he?
I can't watch no onee plAy with their piana that is wrecking the whole world
What is with the stupid weirdos?
I can’t watch him either. I haven’t because I know my iPad will be launched into oblivion and it’s my only communication device….with you guys.😊

Very clear excellent writing.

What a scumbag you are .. a real creep
Au contraire.
This sort of comment is invariably what is known in psychology as "projection."
Still at it, Vasko? So was Churchill.
I don’t think we can stop him. The media is at fault here so we’re basically up the creek with a nuke strapped to it. Am I wrong here? Put me in my place.
If by "him" you mean Zelensky, then it is fairly clear that he has an enormous amount of work still to do if he wishes to sacrifice the entire world on the blood soaked altar he has erected in the Donbas.
Echoes of 1914 here if you substitute Ukraine with Serbia or Belgium
Thank you for your clear and incisive comments.
Just as perfidious Albion set up the Poles to continue their genocide against ethnic Germans stranded in their nation since the so called Treaty of Versailles, thus rendering Hitler's invasion of that land both inevitable and understandable; so the perfidious neocons surrounding Biden set up Zelensky to continue the massacre of ethnic Russians trapped in the ersatz "nation of Ukraine" throughout the post-Maidan period; and so yet again inviting invasion.

Karl Denninger has a similar article: https://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=245461
Thanks, he makes some very good points.
That was great.
