It’s not accurate to say that Putin has made statements to the effect that he does not consider Ukraine as a legitimate state, or Ukrainians as a legitimate nation.
As Mearsheimer has pointed out, when querying for the source of these supposed Putin statements that western propaganda circulates, one only finds decontextualized misquotations from Putin’s ‘On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians’ article.
What the Russians actually have been saying for many years now, is that the post-Maidan Ukrainian regime wants to impose a specific ‘true Ukrainian’ ethnic and historical consciousness (which is endemic in the west of the country) to the whole of Ukraine, to the people in the southeast whom the Kiev regime sees as lesser Ukrainians, as tainted by a false consciousness resulting from exposure to ‘Russian imperialism’ and ‘communism’, and as a problem to be corrected.
Anyone who doesn’t go along with this homogenizing project of ‘ukrainization’ and ‘derussification’ is declared a ‘fifth columnist’, a ‘Kremlin agent’ and a traitor.
It is the regime in Kiev, and its nationalist ideologues especially, who are the genocidally-minded and genocidally-inclined party here.
As for the prospects for peace, there aren’t any given that Ukraine, enabled and egged on by the West, has literally made it illegal by presidential decree to negotiate with Russia as long as Putin is president, and has told us a thousand times that no peace talks can take place as long as Russia occupies any part of Ukrainian territory, including Crimea.
And just like that, Ukraine destroys itself.
https://time.com/6150046/ukraine-statehood-russia-history-putin/
The Times article takes the phrases by Putin:
“It should be noted that Ukraine actually never had stable traditions of real statehood. And, therefore, in 1991 it opted for mindlessly emulating foreign models, which have no relation to history or Ukrainian realities.”
and
“A stable statehood has never developed in Ukraine; its electoral and other political procedures just serve as a cover, a screen for the redistribution of power and property between various oligarchic clans.”
and tells its poor readers that in these phrases he means ‘clearly’ and states ‘explicitly’ that Russia doesn’t accept the existence of… Latvia, Georgia, Estonia, Lithuania, Moldova, or the existence of any other state in the world and that, therefore, Russia plans to conquer the entire planet.
It’s been called ‘the lying press’ and it’s really amazing.
What happened to Soiled Sinema?
Not entirely sure.
“The only question is, if he[Trump] knows exactly what has to be done[with the warmongering neocons], why didn’t he do it the first time?”
One reason is that Trump is fundamentally untrustworthy and not to be taken seriously on any of his promises.
However, it has to be recognized that a huge factor tying his hands in regard to his Ukraine policy, and his policy towards Russia in general, was the infamous ‘Russiagate’ hoax.
The political establishment, the ‘deep state’ and the media put together a fantastical narrative about Trump being a Kremlin agent and about Hillary loosing the elections because of Russian interference.*
This smearing campaign obliged Trump to adopt a bellicose stance toward Russia as anything else would have been presented by the media as ‘proof’ that he is indeed a Russian agent.
Thus, Trump ended up being a way more anti-Russia president than Obama.
He pulled the U.S. out of the INF missile treaty.
He mass deported Russian diplomats.
He senselessly piled up sanctions.
And, of cource, he reversed Obama’s policy of not supplying ‘lethal aid’ to Ukraine.
This policy of not arming Ukraine (with Germany being the last country desperately trying to uphold it, refusing to provide anything but a few helmets even in the last months leading up to the war) had a solid reason behind it.
It was not that the evil West didn’t want Ukraine to be able to resist a Russian invasion.
The reason was, rather, the appreciation of the simple fact that Russia could not, and would not, allow the Ukrainian military to become strong enough to challenge the Russian presence in Crimea or Donbas.
(Events have proven that, indeed, had Russia allowed Ukrainian militarization to go on for one or two more years, the balance of power would have shifted decisively in favor of Ukraine and the Russian position on Crimea would have become untenable.
Russia was not just provoked but essentially forced to invade when it finally did, after repeated warnings.)
So, Trump is in no position to complain about the neocons(his good friends) and their(his) policies of war, but it’s good that he does nonetheless.
More such voices are needed if Ukraine is to be spared from further destruction.
