Spooked by the spectre of an Iran-Israel War, the US moves to cut its losses in Ukraine. As they come to terms with their loss in Ukraine, Western leaders will now face the five stages of grief.
Part Two that would further discuss realistic options for Ukraine cannot be published until US deep state, media, public passes the first three stages of denial, anger, bargaining...
As soon as depression arrives, one can expect Part Two.
a. No NATO, no EU.
In rejecting both the Minsk Agreements and the 2022 Istanbul Agreements, Kiev effectively jettisoned any chance of ever becoming a part of Western Europe.
b. BRICS future Chinese investment into Ukraine as a bridge to Europe
It was Kiev’s unrelenting desire to become an American vassal that has led to their catastrophic condition today. The sad fact is that Ukraine’s future can now only be secured by accepting a vassal-like relationship with Russia.
c. No safe harbour for Ukrainians in the West
This hard-earned expertise in crafting and deploying drones against Russian forces may be repurposed to target those in the West seen as having betrayed Ukraine's cause.
Thanks William. Behind close doors I'm sure the various Western intelligence agencies are informing leaders of the reality and they have no choice but to accept it. Their problem is squaring this reality with the fantasies they have been selling their people. Week by week they will slowly break the truth to their voters, and hope they have avoid a backlash.
All of this was readily apparent three years ago. The West sacrificed Ukrainian to realize the delusional goal of defeating Russia. The prize was always the Russia land mass. The one trillion dollar investment was justified by this goal. Saving Ukraine was only necessary when it turned on Russia and became a proxy of the West. The unwind is so difficult because the dream was only possible because of an incurable mass psychosis that sacrificed the prosperity of an entire continent. Suicide is more acceptable than unconditional surrender. They can’t walk away and they can’t let go. Only the internal collapse of the West will end it.
No, why should Russia even allow the Kiev coup regime, not only to get 4/5 of Ukraine, but also becoming a member of Nato, and this way still constituting a military threat to Russia?
Russia will never allow NATO to take 80% of Ukraine. What I wrote is, "If such a deal was ever consummated, NATO could build a gleaming new regional headquarters in Kharkov, just 650 kilometres from Moscow, as the missile flies. Which is exactly why this 80-20 split in favour of NATO is a psychological coping mechanism and will never happen in real life."
Exact, precise, truthful.
And this is just Part One.

Kevin - great article as always! What percentage of Western leaders at this point are actually in the Acceptance phase, at least behind closed doors?
