The Ukraine War was never about Ukraine anymore than a restaurant with a chicken mascot is about the chicken. Ukraine is not at the table in Alaska because they were always on the menu. Ukraine was overthrown by America in 2014 so they could throw it at Russia, and now they're being thrown out. That's all that's happening here.

The Ukraine War was also never about Europe, which isn't at the table either. Europe was conquered by America in World War II and America still bombs Europe (Nordstream) and extracts from them (NATO, tariffs, deindustrialization) whenever they feel like it, which is often as they collapse. For decades, Europe was given a toy steering wheel and taken on murder vacations to the Orient, but now they've been left Oliver Twisting in the wind, saying, Please, Daddy, may I have another?

Like the Roman Empire collapsed eastward, the European incarnation of White Empire collapsed westward. As Churchill said, “the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old.” White Empire rebooted in the West, under America. That's why I call it one White Empire. What's the difference to us, on the bottom? I digress because it's important to understand the context.

World War II never ended, America just turned coat and fought the people that actually won it, the USSR, allying with Nazis in the process. This century, during what we might as well call World War III, the Empire did the same thing. They put neo-Nazis and neoliberals together for one last tilt at the old red windmill, and ended up Don Quixoting for their troubles. They failed, and the big dogs get it, though the message has yet to reach the tail. Trump has visibly moved on from Ukraine, while Ukraine and Europeans risibly flail.

American leaders, analysts, and even their privatized propaganda gets that the Ukraine War is a lost cause, and they're turning on Zelensky and all these corrupt Ukrainians they corrupted. You can see them trying to wash their own blood out in the news cycle. Some American people, however, are still a few news cycles behind, and Europeans are a lost cause, they actually believe their own propaganda. None of this matters, of course, because none of these people matter. Facts are being decided on the ground.

The already porous Ukrainian front-line is collapsing. It was just manned by a few press-ganged men my age (I'm not young) who daren't come out even if they see Russians because they'll get droned and glide-bombed immediately. So small teams of Russians on motorcycles and scooters push through, creating salients and cutting entire towns off. The Ukrainian government—at this point unelected and completely corrupt—holds the line for media consumption, while doing more lines in their golden bathrooms. Ukraine was strategically defeated long ago, there's no strategy here at all.

Ukraine never had the men or the productive capacity to take on bigger Russia and America gave them just enough to bleed to death profitably. The American model has always been that there's more money in losing wars than winning them and Ukraine was always a lost cause. Now they have, as America always does, lost interest. Trump is visibly bored with Ukraine, humiliates them in public, and turns lethal aid on and off. Europeans make a bunch of indignant noises and go on vacation.

Ukraine's best chance for peace was immediately in 2022, but Europe and America scuttled that because—remember—Ukraine was conquered in 2014 and had no real say at all. They were just there to die to the last Ukrainian to mildly irritate Russia, nobody in the White Empire cares about a little Slav on Slav violence at all. Now the places liberated by Russia are better off. Western Ukraine is being carved up by BlackRock and carnivorous capitalists, saddled with war debts, angry Nazis, and nothing but regrets. As Kissinger said, it may be dangerous to be America's enemy, but it's fatal to be America's friend. Ukraine could have had peace without American meddling, but now they're just in pieces.

Now Trump is suing for peace, but Ukraine is deceased irregardless. Ukraine's fate is really a minor point at discussions in Alaska, it's already sealed. They're openly despised by Trump and losing territory hourly. The question is no longer whether Russia will win but by how much, and if they'll get Minsked (ie, tricked) for a third time, or ignore the lying Americans (ask the Native Americans) and keep marching forward. This is a loss for White Empire, no doubt, but poor Ukraine pays the cost. White Empire has lost the western front in their world war, and must sue for peace which they may not even get, because they're so untrustworthy. The ‘Middle Eastern’ front is still sadly open, but they've lost all faith and credit there also. And the eastern front with China will never open, because America itself will be out of business before long.
