Why are European Leaders deluding themselves regarding Putin’s intentions? The stark reality is that Putin must be defeated it’s that clear. There is no other choice.
Be clear Putin has no intention of seeking either a seizefire or a peace deal with the Ukraine. Who was responsible for this stupid thought? It was mainly generated by Trump based on either his misunderstanding of Putin or it being a ploy propagated by Putin himself and willingly distributed by Trump. Either way the suggestion that Putin wants peace or is at least open to peace discussions is just a fantasy. There is quite simply no truth in it at all. Now it has become a pointless waste of time and European Leaders have been left in limbo. Waiting for Putin to be ready for peace is a pointless waste of time when time and action is crucial for the Ukraine. Putin must be defeated plain and simple. European leaders can hide their heads in the sand as much as they want but they will have to face up to this fact that ‘ Putin must be defeated’.
Putin must be defeated and that is the only way to end Putin’s war with Ukraine
While the European Leaders waste precise time in trying to determine if and when Putin might be amenable to discuss peace, they are basically avoiding the answer which is in plain sight. Putin must be defeated. His troops must be forced back into the pig stile that is Russia. Putin must be defeated. European Leaders cannot afford to procrastinate because this is essentially a war for Europe and Europe must step up to the mark and be prepared to act with force against Putin and his army.
Who is Putin to dictate who he will tolerate in the Ukraine as a peacekeeping force. Putin and his Russian troops have no right to be in the Ukraine. Putin invaded the Ukraine he is not welcome. European troops have every right to go to the assistance of the Ukraine if they wish to do so. Any European troops that go to the Ukraine to assist will be welcomed by the Ukraine so they have the right to be there. The more the merrier. This should be done right now to annoy Putin immensely and to be an affront to his statements on the matter. The West should ignore any preferences of Putin. Putin will soon get the message that ‘ Putin must be defeated’.
Putin has no right to dictate the terms of this war
Putin has no right to dictate the terms of this war nor who can get involved in it. Putin is an invader and an intruder who has no right to be in the Ukraine at all. If Putin won’t go then he must be forced out. In fact this would be the better option anyway. Putin has been banking on the fact that Trump will neutralise the effectiveness of NATO. Trump’s objections to allowing the Ukraine to join NATO is something that Putin has been relying upon and in fact the whole thing may have been designed and instigated by Putin with the help of Trump. Despite all this Europe can still send the message that Putin must be defeated and Europe are willing to go to any lengths to achieve this.
So with NATO being neutered Putin believes he can proceed to take back Ukraine unimpeded
Let’s face it NATO have been neutered by Trump and his America first policies. Trump keeps repeating the words of Putin that the Ukraine should not be allowed to join NATO. The reason for this as Trump fails to grasp is that NATO would offer a cast iron guarantee against Putin’s aggression and this would put an end to Putin’s imperialist ambitions to bring the Ukraine back under his sphere of oppression. So Trump has become a willing pawn in Putin’s strategy without even realising.
Trump has become a willing Pawn in Putin’s strategies to both weaken NATO and to impede Ukraine’s acceptance by NATO
So Trump has become a willing Pawn in Putin’s strategies. He is helping Putin to weaken NATO and to prevent the Ukraine from joining NATO because the USA can veto any membership request. The threat from NATO to Putin’s ambitions to assimilate the Ukraine into Russia have been neutralised. This is what Putin fears the most. So if NATO has been neutered what other options are available to thwart Putin? Unfortunately there is only one option left and that is that Europe must step up now to defeat Putin. Putin must be defeated.
Putin is relying on the premise that there is no appetite for war in Europe
Putin has based his aggressive strategies on the premise that there is no appetite for war in Europe. This is reflected by the attitudes of all the European Leaders. It is not something that is paletteable to European Leaders. Putin considers these attitudes weak and exploitable. He has done this on numerous occasions now and Europe has been found wanting. Now European Leaders need to shift their attitudes to war because Putin must be defeated.
Putin can’t even defeat Ukraine so he has no chance against NATO
This war needs to be resolved in favour of both the Ukraine and Europe and European leaders must acknowledge this fact now and stop running away from a war with Putin. Putin must be defeated by whatever means we have at our disposal. If NATO won’t step up to the mark to defend the Ukraine ( mainly because of Trump), and NATO has become unreliable,then Europe needs to pick up the mantle. Putin must be defeated and the time has come to realise this and to realise that only Europe can do this and it must be done now. Putin can’t even defeat Ukraine so if NATO can get involved it’s chances of winning and defeating Putin are really good.
