How the West has contributed to the Ukrainian defeat
Book by retired colonel Jacques Baud
Why is Ukraine losing the war against Russia? How do both sides think and operate? What were the mistakes on both sides? How did the West contribute to the Ukrainian defeat?
To answer these questions and many others, Jacques Baud draws on official information as well as American, Western and Russian documents. He explains how Russia understands and conducts the war. He shows how the West's inability to grasp this reality and its determination to weaken Russia has backfired in Ukraine. Following on from the bestsellers Putin: Game Master?, Operation Z and Ukraine Between War and Peace, whose analytical work has been acclaimed worldwide and translated into several languages, the author returns to the war in Ukraine. He explains how Russia waged the war, and reveals how the image portrayed by the West led to Ukraine's defeat.

The EU is correct that if Ukraine falls, there goes Europe. However, that does NOT mean Russia invades Europe. There is NOTHING there worth taking. Instead, the collapse of Ukraine is more about the collapse of the Western political hegemony. This will lead to the crumbling of the EU internally with division – not some invasion by Putin.
Ukraine is the great EU gamble. The hopes of conquering Russia to get the $75 trillion in natural resources to resurrect Europe as the pinnacle of economic power. The collapse of Ukraine really means the collapse of European debt, and the division will erupt just as you see in the American Democratic Party and its internal Civil War.
Where are we heading?

What do you think a peace policy is?
It’s a policy that tries to put an end to the war in Ukraine and returns to the principles of the 1999 Istanbul Summit, i.e. a European security architecture that enables every European state to guarantee its own security, provided it does not do so at the expense of other states. This is essential to give Europe a degree of stability. We also need to rethink the sanctions against Russia, which are doing us a great deal of harm. More so than the Russians. Our industry needs fossil fuels. At the moment, we are buying more expensive fossil fuels from Russia indirectly via Azerbaijan or India. This is as illogical as it is dishonest. It’s an irrational policy that must come to an end.

I don't think they did this alone And you know let's say that they did plan it alone but I guarantee you with MI6 officers and CIA officers there on SE they absolutely knew about it Now were they instructed to put that into a message and send it back to headquarters and say "Hey heads up They're getting ready to do this." Maybe not But you know this go this goes to the heart of the matter that the lack of judgment on the part of those CIA or MI6 officers without recognizing that crossing this line with Russia creates a risk from a from a standpoint of nuclear weapons.

Previously Zalinsky had secured assurances from the Israeli officials certifying that the the Russians weren't going to kill him. That's changed now because of what the Russians now defining as a counterterrorism operation.
Who controls American foreign policy? Who calls the shots It's not entirely clear. One of the conclusions you might draw from this recent series of events attacks on Russia that violate the norm against attacking elements of the nuclear deterrent of a great power, is that in fact we're on autopilot to some extent covert program probably hatched by MI6 in with the Ukrainians. Undoubtedly approved by the CIA during the Biden administration, probably Richie Richishi Sunnak in Britain, who knows, just carried over into the Trump administration. And there is no evidence that the Trump administration was in fact informed of this program or that if it was it was able to make its own decision about whether it should go forward or not. And in fact the purpose of the attacks seems in part to have been to sabotage any prospect of a successful meeting between Russia and Ukraine at Istanbul.

The Russians are now rebranding the special military operation as a war against terrorism which of course unleashes them under their own rules to seek to eliminate President Zullinski and his senior people.
