THE END FOR ZELENSKY? – Seymour Hersh¹, Jul 18, 2025

THE END FOR ZELENSKY? Washington wants the Ukrainian president to leave office—will it happen? In fall of 2023, Ukrainian General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the commander in chief of the country’s armed forces, gave an interview to the Economist and declared the war with Russia had become a “stalemate.” It took three months for President Volodymyr Zelensky to fire him. The general, who is the most popular public figure in Ukraine, was named ambassador to London a month later and has served there with distinction, if quietly. Zaluzhnyi is now seen as…

Joe Biden the Second/ Missiles for Everyone! How Trump is Using NATO – by John J. Mearsheimer¹

1. On 14 July 2025, I was on the “Deep Dive” with Lt. Col. (ret.) Danny Davis² talking about President Trump’s announcement (just before we went on the air) that he is providing Ukraine with additional arms and giving Putin 50 days to come to the negotiating table and settle the war. We both agreed that this policy is not only going to fail, but Trump now owns the war for sure and is effectively employing the same policy toward Ukraine that his predecessor, Joe Biden, pursued. Moreover, it is…

1. Άρθρο του Παύλου Χριστοπούλου με τίτλο  Ουκρανία: Μια καθυστερημένη εκεχειρία… 2. Αναδημοσίευση από το GEOEUROPE.ORG³  Στις 24 Φεβρουαρίου 2022, η Ρωσία εισέβαλε στην Ουκρανία με μια μικρή δύναμη περίπου 150.000 στρατιωτών.  Δεν αρκούσε για να κατακτήσει την Ουκρανία, η δύναμη εισβολής ήταν επαρκής για να πείσει την Ουκρανία να καθίσει στο τραπέζι των διαπραγματεύσεων.  Ο Ρώσος πρόεδρος Βλαντιμίρ Πούτιν ισχυρίστηκε ότι αυτός ήταν ο αρχικός στόχος της στρατιωτικής επιχείρησης: «[τα] στρατεύματα ήταν εκεί για να ωθήσουν την ουκρανική πλευρά σε διαπραγματεύσεις».  Η προσφυγή σε διαπραγματεύσεις σχεδόν λειτούργησε.  Μέσα σε λίγες εβδομάδες, στην…

John Mearsheimer: Ukraine is DOOMED/ Negotiations are Headed Nowhere, 23 May 25

Key take aways  Russia’s Position on Ceasefire: Russia insists no ceasefire will occur until a peace treaty is fully negotiated and agreed upon. This stance is not new; it’s consistent with Russia’s prior statements. Lavrov and others argue a ceasefire now would only allow Ukraine to regroup militarily. Zelensky’s Legitimacy Questioned: Russia claims President Zelensky lacks legitimacy. The implication is that any treaty would need to be signed by a leader recognized by all sides, and Zelensky might not be that person. This throws doubt on the possibility of any…
