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.

European Union could re-start war in Northern Ireland: Rishi Sunak hanging from a thread

 

European Union could re-start war in Northern Ireland: Rishi Sunak hanging from a thread

European Union is bent on destroying the United Kingdom, but the nearest chapters could be very bloody. Forcing Rishi Sunak to accept unacceptable terms, EU could trigger a new conflict in Northern Ireland that could spread and affect community relations motivating attacks against Asians if such deal is seen as the actual partition of the United Kingdom and there are precedents. Prime Minister Theresa May was very quickly given her marching orders and there were no other repercussions apart from the end of her political aspirations. In Rish Sunak's case the situation is a lot worse. If anger grows against an Asian Prime Minister classified as a traitor, things could become extremely ugly. This is one of the reasons why Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is being very cautious. He knows that Boris Johnson and Liz Truss are not the worst that could happen to him and his family and countless of other families across the United Kingdom.

Many politicians, including some in the European Union, have claimed that they want to protect the Good Friday Agreement and Peace in Northern Ireland, but paradoxically they are doing their worst to destroy the Good Friday Agreement and Peace in Northern Ireland. The Northern Ireland Assembly has been paralized not once, but several times forcing the Westminster Parliament to impose some kind of direct rule. If a deal means the end of power sharing then the Good Friday Agreement will be dead and violent confrontation will flare up with little to prevent it. Because of the ethnicity of the Prime Minister, there is the certain danger that things could spread like wildfire across the entire United Kingdom.

What happens in Northern Ireland is being closely followed by external operators, and especially at a time when NATO is bent on making things worse in Europe.
