The biggest obstacle to a long-term settlement remains Europe’s ultra-hawkish anti-Russian stance — which the “Europeanisation” of NATO is actually intensifying
IMHO, it is profoundly misleading to use the words "peace" and trump's AIPAC administration in the same sentence, for three reasons. One, every single action of this pro-billionaire pro-empire infantile mass-murderer (including the EXTREME war hawks, NeoCons and ultra-zionists that he filled his AIPAC administration with) points to COMLETE DISREGARD for human life and complete dedication to billionaire oligarch domination over humanity. The only reason that trump's zionist billionaire handlers want to wrap-up the the operation in ukraine is because they want to shift and direct all the empire's fire power and resources into their two main objectives - their coming planned attack on china (to destroy BRICS and any challenge to their global domination); their funding and arming of the zionist colonizers' FINAL SOLUTION for the local people in palestine (either complete extermination or ethnic cleansing); and their coming planned attack on iran (both direct militarized-economic attack and/or through another one of their color revolutions).
This isn't "peace". This is an IMPERIAL MANOUVER, by a global empire that absolutely detests and fears the possibility of peace between ordinary (non rulkng class) people and that thrives on eternal division, hate and conflict around the planet. I'll explain in a moment why the last thing in tne world that trumps' billionaires' empire wants is real peace on this planet (this will be the third point below)
Secondly , don't forget that russia is white and mostly christian, and therefore russians are not the ones who should be killed by the empire, according to tne God-ignorant religious fundametalists that trump filled his administration with, but rather the empire should be murdering only non-white non-christian infidels. That's another reason why trumps' christian fascists and NeoCon zionists are wrapping up this operation in preperation for their murder campaigns (crusades) elsewhere
Last reason why IMHO it is ignorant and misleading to claim that trump's AIPAC billionaires' empire have even the slightest interest in real peace between ordinary people on this planet (and in fact do everything possible to prevent such a thing from happening) is because Tribalist DIVISION, FEAR & HATRED (of an "evil monstrous scary enemy") is how oppressive ruling elites maintain control over "their own" people, who would otherwise be far more likely to remove the ultra-rich abusive elites from power.
Predatory ruling elites absolutely need to ensure that "their people" fear a boogyman EVIL ENEMY and look to their own "patriotic leaders" as protectors against that enemy.
That is why they use ANY MEANS NECESSARY to ensure that the tribalist-nationalist-religious division, fear, hatred and violence never ends. That is why they and their ptopagandists constantly teach us to fear and hate the "evil enemy of tje nation" (who that enemy happens to be can change from generation to generation, but what doesn't change is that they ALWAYS must create an 'evil monstrous scary enemy' for us to fear and hate), while paying lip service as if they want to end conflicts, when IN REALITY the end of national-religious division, hatred and conflict is the thing our billionaire rulers fear the most.
Peace, unity and cooperation between ordinary (non ruling class) people is an EXISTENTIAL THREAT to the billionaire ruling class and they make absolutely sure that it can never happen, make sure to incite as much religious-nationalist division, fear and hatred as possible.
Their elevated position of power over society depends on keeping us in a state of tribalist division, fear, unsafety, hatred and eternal conflict and war!!
They teach us to fear and hate "the enemy" through their narrative managers in their propaganda media (both their corporate mainstream media, or their mainstream "alternative media", which in most cases isn't alternative or independent at all) and through their numeous paid influencers on social media.

PS. The fact that the other faction of the american billiinaires' global empire (the right-wing DNC liberal capitalists in the DNC) are ALSO imperialist scum does NOT make the conservative faction of the empire (the fake "populist" billionaires) into the solution. That is precisely the trick that is played by the empire managers on americans (either the clueless mainstream liberals or the dumb and deceived MAGA worshippers) and other westerners, to herd us (using the oligarchs' algorithms) into partisan enclosures/echo-chambers, where we are taught to cheer for one or the other wing of the global oligarchy and to view the other half as 'the evil ones'. Very few seem to recognize BOTH halves of the elite, and very few seem to want real freedom from empire and dignity for all humans, but most seem to just want that the empire be under the right management, the management of "our billionaires" (not “their billionaires”), seem to just want the domination of the one wing of the oligarchy that they learnt to identify with
Warmongering ...German Foreign Minister Baerbock called for strikes deep into Russian territory‼️:
"What we are supplying them [Kiev] is not enough to repel Russian aggression. I agree with my European colleagues. We must strike targets on Russian territory. I hope that in this critical moment that we are experiencing today, we will be able to agree 100% on everything we do in the field of defense."
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think the Anglo-Saxons and Americans will back down from the war in Ukraine, even if it means blowing up half of Europe under a false flag.
All these billions are a godsend for the arms companies, wars make big capital bigger, for financial capital a war is never lost.
The war in Ukraine is about Black Rock, above individual states, it is about hoarding and privatization and it is about creating the economic basis of primitive accumulation for the fourth industrial revolution (Marx wrote about it, before the American neoconservatives and their followers here made him a dead dog).
BlackRock Inc., the world's largest asset manager, invests a staggering $9 trillion (€9 trillion) in client funds worldwide, a sum that is more than double the annual GDP of the Federal Republic of Germany.
This giant sits at the top of the global real estate pyramid, which now includes China. Since 1988, the company has managed to effectively control the Federal Reserve, most of the mega-banks on Wall Street, including Goldman Sachs, the Great Reset of the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Biden administration, now of course the Trump administration, and, if left unchecked, the economic future of our world.
BlackRock is the embodiment of what Mussolini called corporatism, an unelected corporate elite that dictates its rules to the people from the top down.
And Larry Fink, the head of BlackRock, is a Zionist, ca va sans dire...
Trump is not telling the truth, (probably not even Putin)
that is, he is telling the truth of power, not even what he thinks or does not think. Think of Syria because it is paradigmatic. The war must continue, BlackRock bought a large part of Ukraine with dollars and Ukrainian blood, Germany has been transformed into a huge barracks prepared for war, just like the other ex-nations european. Trump is lying, that is, he is telling the truth of power. Capitalism is based on wars, financial capitalism wants to accumulate the economic base for the ongoing fourth industrial revolution, less than 1% will own the land, and not figuratively, and will own the body and soul of its inhabitants. only in this way can it survive, the war uses the weapons of artificial intelligence, the hidden boys of Peter Thiel’s stable will control our every move and thought. …the beeper guys.
Merz, the BlackRock Revolving Door, probably will be elected in Germany
Wolfgang Wodarg: “Blackrock is behind the big arms and agrochemical companies that are profiting from the war in Ukraine. A Blackrock representative and a politician who is turning the doors cannot become heads of government in Germany.”
Daniele Ganser: “On February 23, 2025, Germany will elect a new Bundestag. The CDU is leading the polls. But CDU leader Friedrich Merz is not a peacemaker. He wants to send even more weapons to Ukraine, including Taurus cruise missiles. Merz was chairman of the supervisory board of the German subsidiary of the American asset manager Blackrock. The company has invested heavily in the arms manufacturing company Rheinmetall. Blackrock and Rheinmetall are profiting from the war in Ukraine.
Trump's goal should be to take care of the welfare of the American people. There is no advantage for the US to provoke a war in Ukraine to begin with. Therefore, it is best for the USA to withdraw from the Ukraine War. However, the same cannot be said about other European nations. They have their concerns and their right to worry about their security. It is Europeans' right to strengthen individual and collective defense. I claim that is the obligation of their national and collective governments. Yes Putin may not want to invade Europe in any way, but who knows what Russia will do after Putin is gone? The same reasoning applies to the Russians side: yes DJT wants peace with Russia (not necessarily peace in Ukraine) but who knows what the USA will do after DJT? Proper national defense is the number one task for any government to claim sovereignty.
I suspect that the statement “Moscow lacking both the capability and intent to attack Nato” may not apply to the NATO members closest to the Russian borders, which in turn helps explain their ‘hawkish’ stance: better for them to make war to Russia in Ukraine than on their own territory. If Russia is considered as lacking the capability and the intent to attack NATO, why does the same piece advance the hypothesis that Russia may engage in a preventive war against NATO, if this goes ahead with its plans for re-armament?
Echm, the European hawks don't have much power. Either they will follow USA lead or they will lose even more of their former territory. They really completely lost... 👀
