Is Ukraine crisis being wound down to make way for bird flu pandemic?

WESTERN MILITARY STRATEGY FOR UKRAINE CHANGES FOR CONCILIATORY TONE

Western leaders tend to start dialogue with Russia while Zelensky maintains uncompromising stance.

Written by Uriel Araujo, researcher with a focus on international and ethnic conflicts.

According to Western authorities and media reports Ukraine has been winning the war, but, notwithstanding all the weapon’s shipments from the West, this narrative can only be described as propaganda, for a number of reasons. Amid this triumphalist rhetoric, the US-led West seems to have chosen the path of full-spectrum conflict with Moscow, as one can see in the recent G7 joint statement.

And yet, strangely, French President Emmanuel Macron’s own remarks during Europe Day contained a conciliatory tone about not “humiliating” Moscow should Kiev win. The US Secretary of Defense, Lloyd Austin, in turn has asked May 13 for a conversation with his counterpart, Russian Minister of Defense Sergei Shoigu, to talk about “an immediate ceasefire”. This was the very first talk the two officials had since the beginning of the Russian military operations in February. Thus, we are seeing contradictory signs.

Moreover, Austin also showed he is interested in keeping lines of communication open with the Kremlin. The one-hour long phone call was requested by Washington. This is the same Lloyd Austin who, in April 26, stated he believed Kiev would win the war, with American help.

Echoing Austin’s change of tone, Macron reportedly has asked Ukraine to make some “concessions”, to which President Volodymir Zelensky replied in a May 13 interview with Italian TV channel RAI that “we won’t help Putin save face by paying with our territory”. This has generated some embarrassment and has prompted a reply from the French presidency, stating that Macron in fact has never “asked President Zelenskyy for any concession.” The same day the G7 announced its intentions to further contain and isolate Moscow, Macron stated, during his address to the European Parliament, on May 9, that “we are not at war with Russia”, adding that Europe’s duty is to “stand with Ukraine to achieve a ceasefire, then build peace.”

Macron and Austin are not alone. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz during a long talk with Russian President Vladimir Putin on May 13 over the telephone, according to a recent Twitter publication of his, stated that there must be a “ceasefire” in Ukraine “as quickly as possible”. Interestingly there was no talk of Russia immediately retreating, which would be a strange thing if it were true that Kiev is “winning” the war.

Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi in turn has also echoed the same theme about a ceasefire. The fact that the speeches of leaders from the three EU largest countries are thus aligned is a clear sign that something is changing. This reflects popular opinion also: according to a recent survey across 27 Western countries (conducted by polling company Ipsos), support for diplomatic talks with Russia has increased precisely in France, Germany and Italy.

These are certainly not the only problems that should worry the US. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, for example, has threatened to block Sweden and Finland NATO bids. With Turkey being such a relevant NATO member, this is yet another sign of the contradictions within the alliance.

In spite of the aforementioned Austin statements, the American take on this is still somewhat more complicated, though. According to the Politico website, a high-ranking Washington official has admitted the US worries about a “fracture”, considering these recent European developments. Within American society itself, however, concerned voices, even in the conservative camp, are increasingly more skeptical about the current US policy regarding the Russo-Ukrainian war. As inflation rises, the 40 billion-dollar package to help Kiev, which is being discussed in Congress, is under a lot of criticism.

While Western officials are starting to change their tone and are apparently willing to start some dialogue with Moscow, the Ukrainian President in turn is maintaining his triumphalist uncompromising tone. Kiev, however, is largely dependent on the West, and in the long run would have no choice, but to play along. The problem is that any “appeasement” endeavors will face a harsh internal reaction from the very extremist forces the West has been supporting. One should recall Dmytro Yarosh’s 2019 threatening remarks about Zelensky “losing his life” and ending up “hanging on a tree on Khreshchatyk (in the Kiev’s center)” if he “betrayed” Ukrainian nationalists. Yarosh, a far-right activist, is nowadays an adviser to Valerii Zaluzhny, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This also explains why countries such as Germany are increasingly reluctant to further arm Kiev – the risk of weapons ending up in the hands of unpredictable extremist groups is too high.

By now, it has become abundantly clear that today’s conflict in Ukraine is a proxy Western war against Russia. The attitude of the United States and EU leaders regarding the crisis has been one of open confrontation without compromise – and of fueling tensions. However, as we can see, there are signs that this approach could be starting to decline.

In early May, referring to the former US President, American intellectual Noam Chomsky, stated, in an interview, that only one “Western statesman” is advocating “a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine, instead of looking for ways to encourage and prolong it”, namely “Donald Trump”. Chomsky’s remark seemed accurate back then, but this might be changing now.

    Maybe wound down by the media. Ukraine-war-as-international-crisis is, like the “covid pandemic,” after all just a creation of a propaganda campaign. Wind down the propaganda and the public concern (or feigned concern among virtue signaling nihilist social credit junkies) goes away while the war remains. The war being primary designed to drive away native and kill off “Ukrainians” (there’s no such thing as Ukraine is only a political construct created only a 100 years ago. The reason being that they want Ukraine cleared for Jewish settlement. Because the land currently designated as the state of Ukraine is the former national home of Jews in Europe Khazaria. The Khazarians back then refered to as “snake people,” i.e. satanists. Khazaria was destroyed by the empire of Kiev Rus, a Russian empire. Which is where Jewish animosity towards Russians likely originates.

      If Putin is a globalist, he can’t be the only one. What about Medvedev?

      At Mariupol there are 200 refrigerated bodies. Why was the electric and water not cut off once the plant was surrounded? Surely the DPR knew where the switches were located. The surrender would have been a month or so earlier. There was no electric or water in the surrounding residential areas. It does make you suspicious of globalist control of the timing of the surrender. It dragged on and on for weeks. Did they need a news blanket while they manoeuvred the WHO in as world government for health i.e. pandemic vaccine population destruction on the massive worldwide scale – bird flu to follow in no time.

      • TheAshkeNazisDidIt says:

        Good catch. I’d imagine the vast majority if not all the top people are globalists. Then they probably have their fair share of Masonic satanist useful idiot traitors who think the NWO is their WO. Probably plenty of Neocon equivalents as well, the missile and DEW pot shots being perfect distraction and incitement for them. Plenty of people likely also being fooled and blinded by the Pro-Russia propaganda, just like the MAGA people.

        That’s a good catch about the Maripul seige not adding up. Hadn’t thought of that. Another thing is that the numerical values of the start date of the invasion matches the value of the start dates of WWI and WWII.

        By and large, they’ve made the war seem believable as genuine but there are things that don’t add up, like what you mentioned. In the big picture, It doesn’t make sense for Russia to keep going with their limited special operation approach. Like I wrote earlier, that approach only brings a slow bleed of Russian soldiers and vast death and destruction for the peoples of Ukraine with nothing gained for Russia. Leaving or going all in would be the pro Russia approach.

        I also don’t think any of this would have happened had Russia been anti globalist. Surely they would have been able to – covertly and or overtly – step in and stop the globalist coup in Ukraine.

      • Tapestry says:

        If globalist they need to act nationalist. And vice versa.

    • TheAshkeNazisDidIt says:

      I have a feeling they’re going for full shock and awe by hitting us with “bird flu”/WHO-rule, missile attacks/WWIII, food shortages, climate terrorism/weather warfare, plane crashes all at once. Or maybe some are distractions for the ones they’re going for. It sure seems like at least they’re setting us up for more than one knockout blow…

  2. TheAshkeNazisDidIt says:

    Ukraine was established by Germany in 1918. Likely not a coincidence that Ukraine is situated on ancient Khazaria, as the German gov’t was quite infested with Illuminist/Masons, including the Kaisers closest advisors (who deceived him into going to war.)

    There is also the possibility that the more conciliatory attitude towards Russia is to gain time to replenish the vast amount of arms lost and to find ways of counteracting Russian jamming. I agree a lot is scripted, but then there is blowback, as in the case of Stalin. The hitting of RAF Welford and other places in England, was probably not part of the script, hence it was hushed up! I did notice that in the Moscow 9th May Parade was led by Russian flag followed by the Soviet flag which tells me the City of London controlled Communists, still have a large sway in Russia. As regards Mariupol, it could well be one of the huge elite survival bunkers, with independent supplies of power and water – just a thought! The parallels with WWI & 2 are amazing, although I have not looked at the numbers side of it like you.
