I wrote to Biden about the need for strong moral leadership and got a speech back from Dr Wallander (indirectly) about not encouraging Ukraine 🇺🇦 to strike ‘so called civilian targets,’ as in oil refineries in Russia, which are clearly military or at least dual use targets. That made me so angry when I see Russia’s war crimes so blatantly every single day.

@@Titan-ee9em Dr Wallander is the spokesperson from the Pentagon who appeared before Congress in an exchange with Republican Senator Austin Scott during an inquiry into a report that the Biden Administration had told Kyiv to refrain from hitting oil refineries in Russia allegedly because it would raise gas prices ahead of the USA 🇺🇸 Presidential election.

War crimes of one nation don't justify war crimes of another. But at the same time, war crimes don't help in achieving victory , and targeting civilians doesn't help either. That said targeting fuel refineries is certainly within Ukraines rights and are a useful target to decrease Russia war fighting capability. This isn't targeting hospitals or schools. What is most frustrating about the Biden administration is the limited support which may be enough to deny Russia victory but not enough for Ukrainian victory, which simply prolongs a stalemate, and shift factors onto economic and industrial capacity rather than military operations. It's shameful to ask Ukraine to fight as long as their methods don't inconvenience the rest of the world. They are doing what they can with what they have to be as effective as possible, and without increased tactical capabilities they target the enemies logistic capability while holding defensive lines. It's their best move right now.

I agree 100% with her statement that many of our Western leaders don't understand the mentality of a bully. I learned in elementary school that bullies don't pick on the big guys, & will also leave alone the smaller guys that fight back. I think this is so because many of our leaders grew up in financially well off families that likely lived sheltered lives, including going to private schools. I could be wrong, but having to deal with bullies from elementary through high school in public schools teaches you a lot about human nature.

Jessica says at 18:40 that those in the chancellory and White House seem to have never stood up to a bully on the playground. I wrote the White House months ago the same view, though I added at any age in any setting. Their fear while in leadership roles is pathetic and infuriating. There is proof Russia would not resort to the nuclear option, their only escalatory option left, because Ukraine has multiple times in multiple instances crossed the red lines that are, in Russian law, triggers for a nuclear response.

Jessica Berlin = Accurate & wonderfully succinct. When the dots are so obvious you don't need a ruler to join them up. You do need Western 'Rulers' to collectively & effectively support Ukraine which means ramping up military capacity to thwart Russian aggression & imperial desires around the world. Learn from history - ignore it at the peril of lost freedoms. Freedoms that cost millions of lives & centuries of suffering. If you're not prepared to defend what you have - it will be 'taken' from you - it's not warmongering - it's the reality of life.

There has been a common thread in Russian history towards the West. First demanding western help (as if it is owed) and then biting off the hand that tried to feed them. It happened repeatedly under the Czars, under Stalin after WW2 and under Putin after 2000. The Russian also seem to prefer running a negative sum game. As in "If I can't have it, then neither can you. And I'll also try my best to make it even worse."

Russian global strategy includes increasing its control of global commodities and their prices. An example would be Venezuela recently. Russia, in part through its own lack of capabilities, essentially has reduced Venezuelan oil output from 3 million barrels a day to less than one million, just enough to prop up its client regime. African regimes appear to be accepting the model, seeing as it will work for themselves. Their people in general will be like Russians in general, with little recourse and a poor standard of living compared to what they could have. We should really hold up Cuba and Venezuela and Nicaragua as poster children for these African populations.

Part of the problem, and this is not a new problem in the US. It dates back to the Kennedy as I situation, really & it goes back to the way we run the State Department. There are a lot of dedicated career diplomats and foreign policy experts at State. The problem is that the people who call the shots and make most of the decisions are political appointees who rarely last longer than the length of whatever administration is in charge at the moment. Some of them are well-meaning but inexperienced wonks and academics, others are straight-up hacks. Nearly all of them are amateurs, however, and that’s a problem. People like Jake Sullivan may mean well, but putting them in charge is like putting a rookie cop in charge of the NYPD.

I got so frustrated by a recent article in the Guardian by US 'strategist' Emma Ashford espousing this 'escalation management' attitude, even suggesting Ukraine was wrong not to agree to terms in early 2022. I wrote a response to the Guardian, but I could not limit my criticisms to 300 words as their website requests. I post it here in any case: I find many of the arguments made in Emma Ashford's article highly questionable. They remind me very much of John Mearsheimer's 'realist' stance about Ukraine and geopolitics, which essentially ignores the rights of smaller nations amongst larger spheres of influence. My strongest criticism is directed towards the notion that Ukraine could and perhaps should have agreed to 'compromise' in 2022, and that it would still be sensible to consider this option going forward. In my view, this would represent a far greater 'roll of the dice' than continuing to resist. I study the importance of discourse in historical narratives as a key part of my History PhD, and perhaps the word 'appeasement' carries far greater connotations here in the UK than in the US, shaping my perspective. But even if one were to ignore other historical precedents, and only to consider the last few decades, how could Ukraine possibly trust negotiated terms with a criminal authoritarian power which repeatedly violates the sovereignty of its neighbours, denies Ukraine's right to exist, and reneges on its past agreements? In my view then, given we are dealing with a highly duplicitous adversary, the conduct of early peace talks fundamentally does not 'disprove' the idea that Russia will never be satisfied until it is victorious. I am fully aware of different modes of remembering; antagonistic, cosmopolitan and agonistic. A generous reading would suggest an agonistic perspective seems to be the understandable aim of Ashford, whilst my view (although it may seem antagonistic) can most closely be linked to cosmopolitanism, and the view that democracy is a positive force and totalitarianism an evil one. Agonism stresses attention to the nature of a conflict and its social circumstances, context and agency. It suggests we should learn from the perspectives of both victims and perpetrators. However in my view, sometimes 'absolutist narratives' are necessary to stimulate political action and, crucially, are ultimately broadly correct. Indeed, the ways Ashford seeks to 'undermine' some of the narratives about Ukraine mirrors many Kremlin propaganda pieces which attempt to distort the issue of responsibility for their own actions, especially in stating '[m]any of Ukraine’s strongest supporters in Washington and in eastern Europe have repeatedly argued that Nato expansion and the issue of Ukraine’s potential accession to the alliance had nothing to do with Russia’s choice to invade, which they typically attribute to cultural chauvinism or imperial delusions.' Perhaps it was not the author's intention, but this wording seems to present NATO expansion as a legitimate Russian concern, depicting the growing alliance as aggressive rather than defensive in nature, and seemingly dismisses the fact that Russian imperialism is clearly present in a plethora of cultural examples (see Maria Shuvalova's work for example which has featured on Silicon Curtain) as well as in the actions (and not just the 'extreme statements') of its leadership and elites. Moreover, Ashford's perspective further ignores the fact that without NATO membership, the Baltic and Scandinavian countries would currently be far more vulnerable themselves to invasion. To be clear, in my view, there can be negotiation in future, but only to ensure ultimately once Ukraine is fully liberated that its sovereignty and economic future are secured.

The best thing the west can do is give Ukraine enough to win now, (it is also the cheapest). At the moment we have begun to give them almost enough to win forever. The most expensive outcome will be to allow Russia to defeat Ukraine. It will mean the need for Europe to carry out a massive increase in military spending to contain Russia for the next 40 years and America will have to decide whether it still wants to be the leader of the free world, no other country is likely to stand up for freedom like America has. Most European countries are not as committed to freedom as America is.

A great video. African skepticism towards Western influence and politics is of course fully understandable in a historical context. The great irony, however, is that the alternatives are so much worse and utterly tragic for Africans. China puts them in bottomless debt to achieve political goals and the Russians give a damn about everyone but themselves. However, I am unsure whether increased trade with the Africans is realistic. As a rule, this develops more or less by itself if the basis for profit is there and there is political stability at the same time. There are several examples of large Western companies that have had production in Africa, but have withdrawn in favor of Asia. There are also examples of large international funds that have investments in Africa, but keep this at a relatively low level to reduce the risk. Unfortunately for the Africans, the global economy also means that investment follows profit where it is most readily available and fairly protected against unforeseen political and economic events. In this context, it will be a long time before international businesses again dare to invest in Russia.

Call Jessica talks about earlier, about leaders needing to step up and admit mistakes, remind me of all Australian Prime Minister, giving a speech to the American people. It’s probably one of the best speeches by an Australian p.m. right when the Japanese were smashing through across Asia. Some people would call it the “we are fighting mad” speech, but he sets up in the beginning, exactly what she says. He talks about how western world drop the ball on the rise of the Japanese., without casting a particular blame on anyone, but to highlight that “ thanks are stern things.” Today we need a leader who will step up and say exactly that, facts are stern things
