When is a peace deal, not a peace deal? When it’s a war deal

When is a peace deal, not a peace deal? When it’s a war deal

Paul Collits

Every so often it strikes you that there are some faces you see that you just want to punch. It is an instantaneous reaction. Mercifully, for those of us trying to suppress the hate gene, it doesn’t happen very often.

In this case, it is two for the price of one. Sir Keir Groomer and President Micron. On the Ukraine case, afresh. Keeping the Monty Pythonesque dead parrot of a war going.

Each is loathed by their own people – Sir Groomer got a “landslide” with barely a third of the vote, and Micron’s French party was smashed in the last parliamentary election – yet still slithering around on the international stage. And doing their best to keep lost wars going, and keeping aflame the dying embers of hope that we will get World War III after all. Throw the unflushable Boris Johnson into the mix, and you have a heady brew, as Frederick Edward points out:

This is, of course, Boris Johnson, who, it is claimed by Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov (and there is apparently no evidence to the contrary), three long years ago in Istanbul convinced the Ukrainians not to make a peace deal with Moscow one hour before they were due to sign it. Johnson’s ego, Lavrov said, doomed Ukraine to eternal conflict.

When is a peace deal, not a peace deal? When it’s a war deal, to put it bluntly. When a peace-keeping force arrives in your backyard with missiles and bombs and other weapons of equal distinction. Sounds a tad OTT [over the top] to me. Friendship with benefits. As Andrew Bridgen notes:

What should be clear now to everyone, that once again despite a peace deal being on the table, many European leaders appear determined that the war in Ukraine not only continues but escalates. Ask yourselves why? And in whose interest are they working?

Here is good summary of where things stand:

When Vance asked a simple question – why isn’t Ukraine showing gratitude for the billions of dollars in aid – it triggered an outburst. Zelenskyy, instead of thanking the US for bankrolling his war effort, accused America of not understanding what’s coming. Trump, never one to back down, reminded him exactly where he stands: “You don’t have the cards right now.” And he’s right.

Zelenskyy has never been in control of this war. He isn’t some heroic leader calling the shots. He’s a desperate man clinging to power in a crumbling regime, propped up by Western money, Western weapons, and Western propaganda. And now, as Ukraine’s battlefield losses mount, as conscripts are dragged off the streets to fight, as the tide of public opinion in the West shifts – Zelenskyy is panicking.

And why wouldn’t he be? He was never the real power in this war. The real architects of this disaster have been sitting in Washington, Brussels, and London, playing their geopolitical games. The war in Ukraine was never about protecting democracy, and it certainly wasn’t “unprovoked.” It was engineered – deliberately – by the West.

Before he was president, Zelenskyy was a comedian – a TV actor in a scripted Ukrainian drama called Servant of the People, where he played a humble teacher who miraculously becomes president. It was pure political fiction.

And then, suddenly, it became real life. His campaign was managed by Western PR specialists – including an Obama speechwriter – and heavily financed by Ukrainian oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky, one of the most corrupt men in Ukraine.

Kolomoisky, conveniently, owned Ukraine’s largest oil and gas company and bank. And when Zelenskyy took power, his first priority wasn’t fighting corruption – it was ensuring Western financial houses like BlackRock took over Ukraine’s economy.

We now know that Zelenskyy funnelled millions of dollars into offshore accounts – money that could have gone to his people. He allegedly used it to buy:

· A $34 million mansion in Miami.

· A seaside home for his parents in Israel.

· A $3.8 million luxury apartment in London.

This is the man the media calls a “hero.”

And once he was installed, his real job began: provoking war with Russia on behalf of the West.
