Ukraine: Henry Kissinger understands that diplomacy will do what armies cannot do and vice versa

 

Henry Kissinger understands, better that anybody else, that diplomacy will do what armies cannot do and vice versa.

Since the end of the Twentieth Century, Gun Ho policies have led the USA nowhere and one adventure after another has ended in disaster.

It took more than 20 years to fight a war that started with George Bush Jr and finished with Jo Biden in a rather inconclusive manner with Taliban once again in control of Afghanistan. Iraq was completely destabilised entire regions leading to a series of ongoing regional conflicts that have made the world less safe.

When it comes to Ukraine, USA is faring no better in a war by proxy that threatens to totally destroy Ukraine. It is costly for American taxpayers and it is costly for Ukraine in human lives, in a country in which those who went to the front are surrendering in throws and those who were supposed to go the front are hiding to avoid conscription.

Henry Kissinger proposed partition with Ukraine keeping areas that are not ethnically Russian. Taking the fuel away from the fire, the fire has nothing else to keep it going. With utmost regularity, the Biden Administration is having to ask Congress for vast amounts of money - not to keep the costly apparatus of the US administration, but to finance yet another war.

There is also the fact that it will take just the actions of a single NATO country to start World War Three in Europe. Poland is the likely candidate to do such a thing if Poland ever deploys Polish troops inside Ukraine.The Biden Administration is running out of time to prevent the USA from being dragged into World War Three by the Polish government.

Henry Kissinger's proposal was aimed at preventing what now seems inevitable. President Zelensky is doing everything possible to enrage the Russian Federation and by doing this President Zelensky could up like the rebels of Bay of Pigs in Fidel Castro's Cuba. If you antagonise those who publicly support you their support is not going to last too long.

NATO is not a united front and they have conflicting interests. The EU is not a united front and members have conflicting interests. Once again, Winter is around the corner. With falling temperatures, energy consumption will once again go up and energy prices will once again be on the way up putting economies - once again - to the test. It is easy to talk about capping prices in days of plenty with high temperatures. When temperatures drop, prices will go up and this will be felt across Europe.

Giving diplomacy a chance will go a long way to prevent an even major disaster in a European continent  with so many countries in recession.
