Mark Sleboda | How The Ukraine War Will End And Why

[@winstonsmith2235]

Mark is one of the best commentators on the Russian war against Ukraine/NATO aggression. He is always as precise and as objective as someone who is on the Russian side can be. So refreshing after listening to anything that comes out from the Western media; stale, primitive, repetitive pro-Ukrainian propaganda void of reason, reality and history of the conflict. I also highly recommend latest Glen Diesen's interview (its on KZbin) about the anti-Russian propaganda.

[@bcadams75]

I really appreciate your recent guests & collaboration appearances, Jamarl

[@panchitaobrian1660]

I´m noticing certain progress in Jamari´s way to lead the conversation. He started pretty strong as well but he was more nervous by then and sometimes was nearly interrupting or trying to interrupt in the wrong places. I guess it is difficult to learn to became a good host. I think he is much better now and it is really easy and comfortable to listen to his interviews

Russian Federation shows us how Christians and Muslims can live side by side in Peace. However, they have a shared History dating back thousands of years.

[@walterbrownstone8017]

Yep, Mark knows what he's talking about.

Good interview! Thank you, gentlemen!

Marks sobering analysis unfortunately is the most accurate

Wars will usually end in this way !!! a) Saigon FALLS and the war in Vietnam ended back on April 27, 1976 b) Kabul FALLS and the war in Afghanistan ended back on August 15, 2021 c) Kyiv will eventually FALL and the war in Ukraine will finally be ended as well. THIW's.

[@77Tadeusz]

Merry Christmas circumstances What does a Servant of the People do when he already knows that he has militarily lost everything that could be lost and even, despite himself, admits that the lost territories are irrecoverable by the defeated army? Such a Servant of the People launches further terrorist actions to show how much he cares about peace negotiations. Is the Servant of the People sane? Never mind that, the important thing is that people enlisted at the front continue to die and become crippled. The greater the number of those killed and maimed, the better for the nation, and therefore for the Servant. In the current situation of Ukraine, service to the country basically comes down to multiplying one's own losses and the misfortunes of its citizens. It should hurt so much that all Ukrainians who have so far managed to avoid the front, for example abroad, decide to return and join the program of self-destruction in the service of Ukraine. Death and crippling in the name of insane attempts to achieve the impossible, this is the goal of every true patriot. Is the nation sane? The Ukrainians in their masses have never been healthy enough to enjoy this state of affairs. Nor have they been sick enough to consider the possibility of undertaking some form of treatment. It is more of a state of somnambulistic infatuation, fascination and toying with the death drive - drinking destroys you, but as long as the bottle is full and there is a chance of another, you drink until you pass out. You wake up in the snow, frozen and puked on, without a penny in your wallet, and a hangover hits you in the head and guts every time you try to change position, but the only thing you can still think about clearly is how to get some vodka. At that moment someone pulls you to your feet and presses a leaflet into your hand urging you to stay sober, and you are again visited by that pleasant feeling that you are standing at a crossroads of history and something can still change. All is lost, but is this the final bottom? Ukrainians cannot decide for themselves whether they are suffering enough to break this vicious circle. No one wants to die, but someone is still dying. The fight is pointless, but thousands still fight every day. Zelensky is no longer supported by even a fifth of the nation, and yet the killing game continues. Zelensky, if he ever could do anything, can do nothing anymore, but the Ukrainian masses also remain without hope and will. The West also repeats empty statements devoid of content and meaning, cursing their impotence. All those on the side of the lost Washington-Kiev cause are frozen in pain and hangover - they deny it, but in reality, they count on Russia's help, which they are unable to ask for openly. Poles and Ukrainians share the same mentality of victims attached to their tormentors, and their torment stems primarily from an inferiority complex transformed into anti-Russian messianism. Poland will now lie down next to the corpse of Ukraine. Drunk with happiness and misfortune at the same time. Hitting its empty head with an empty bottle, Poland will scream out its historical sorrows. This is the lousy Slavic fate, because Poles really feel at home only in the dustbin of history, but even there they need a reason to drink and for this, in their opinion, the responsibility also falls on Russia.

The Ukraine war will end when both Ukraine and Russia realize that the conflict is suffocating both of them. NATO can not support Ukraine forever because all NATO countries have their own problems to deal with.

[@merfymac]

Can the U.S./NATO support Ukraine indefinitely? With weapons: no. Western industrial production is outmatched by Russia’s. With manpower: unlikely. Americans and Europeans don’t want to fight Russia for their imperialist elites. With dollars: yes. U.S. and British money can flow into Ukraine forever. It benefits the leadership class on both sides. No reason to stop. Can Ukraine keep fighting? Will the money (plus a trickle of weapons) keep Ukraine committed to forcing its people to fight on to the last Ukrainian? “Fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian” is America’s stated policy. So long as Ukraine’s military doesn’t collapse and the war’s carnage is confined to Ukraine/Russia, the U.S. won’t change direction. Whether it’s Biden or Trump makes no difference, and NATO will follow U.S. policy slavishly, for as long it’s required. Will Ukraine’s military collapse? Not overnight, and probably not in the coming months either - unless Russia significantly intensifies its attack or Zelensky’s government in Kyiv falls or breaks its contract with Washington DC. There’s no path to negotiated peace that would satisfy official positions as stated by Zelensky or as currently proposed by Putin. The Kremlin won’t sacrifice its four new oblasts (let alone Crimea), The territory annexed since February 2022 has been made constitutionally part of the Russian Federation. Putin couldn’t break these legal bonds even if he wanted to. DC, London and Brussels have invested such enormous political capital in Ukraine’s victory, none of their current leaders could accept a loss the world would see as Russian military superiority. Zelensky is legally forbidden to carry out diplomacy with Putin and the Kyiv leadership couldn’t survive losing 20%+ of its territory (and 80% of its economy) without sparking civil war. They’d be hung, drawn, and quartered by the Avov/far-right Banderite faction, as they threatened back in 2019 when Zelensky, newly elected on a peace platform, met with Putin and tried to implement Ukraine’s side of the Minsk 2 agreement. If there are any future negotiations on resolving the Ukraine confiuct, especially between Russia and the U.S. after Trump is inaugurated, it’ll be talk for the sake of appearances to mollify international opinion and the parties may use the time to improve superpower relations. Worth noting that both sides are mindful of the need to engage on nuclear non-proliferation and perhaps trying to salvage the lapsed arms limitation treaties. In short, expect no peace settlement for any of the protagonists; not before 2026 unless there’s a total Ukrainian collapse. Bottom line: The United States has no desire for peace or an end to the conflict. The warhawks may have underestimated Russian resilience but the Western elite capitalists are making bank and no Americans are coming home in body bags. Political blowback is minimal. What’s not to love? Putin won’t make major concessions to end the war. Russia has fought itself to a winning position in the ‘special military operation’ - which it believes to be a necessary and existential conflict against a 21st-century reawakening of the Nazi monster, armed and nurtured by the imperialist West. Russia will see its S.M.O. to the bitter end. Approaching its third year, the Ukraine conflict is progressing entirely to Russia’s advantage. Its losses are sustainable. Russian public opinion backs Putin. Sanctions weren’t effective and Russia’s domestic economy is strong. International trade has realigned away from reliance on the West. Russia is in close mutual alliance with China, and together the superpowers are self-sufficient and unconquerable. Any ceasefire agreement would become a frozen conflict that solves nothing and simply pauses hostilities for both sides to rearm, like the Korean Armistice in 1953 turned the 38th parallel into a DMZ between permanently tooled up opposing armies, and remains a flashpoint to this day. Pausing hostilities would be useful for beleaguered Ukraine but has only downsides for the advancing Russians. Ukraine’s govt won’t surrender. Zelensky and his backers inside and outside of Ukraine are able to sit safely in Kyiv, managing their self-enrichment and coordinating a preferred narrative that’s been largely effective at keeping Ukraine in the West’s good graces without Zelensky facing any serious challenge to his authority despite Ukraine’s enormous casualties. Public pressure for peace remains muted and, as neither Zelensky nor his backers care about UA‘s continued losses, there’s no reason for Kyiv to sue for peace on anything but maximalist terms Russia can never submit to. There will be no sincere peace negotiations involving Zelensky or anyone in his government. Politically, Zelensky has no path but the one he’s on: fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian. 🇺🇸 Washington profits from laundering money - and wants to prolong risk-free wealth creation by fighting Russia to the last Ukrainian. 🇷🇺 Moscow profits from winning war - and won’t accept a compromised peace that pauses rather than resolves the Ukraine/NATO threat. 🇺🇦 Kyiv profits from managing corruption - and won’t stop until every Ukrainian has been sacrificed to prolong capital inflow from U.S. bleeding Russia.
