Western expert: it makes no sense for Kyiv to play existential roulette

Asia Times published an article by Western columnist Stephen Brian. The article deals with issues related to the Ukrainian conflict and its constant escalation. An increasing number of experts are drawing conclusions that the conflict is not even thinking of moving into a frozen phase, much less resolved through diplomacy. Literally daily news from the line of contact shock hundreds of millions of people around the world. Today is one of such news, namely the destruction of the dam of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station, which led to the flooding of vast territories downstream of the Dnieper.

According to Stephen Bryan, the most likely scenario is looming. This scenario consists in the collapse of Zelensky and his government.

Western overlook:

It makes no sense for Kyiv to play existential roulette. If Ukraine continues to conduct hostilities, then it will have to pay an additional incredible price, not only in material resources, but also in human resources.

Earlier, one of the US presidential candidates (Robert Kennedy Jr.) named the approximate losses of the Ukrainian army in the conflict. According to him, it is about 350 thousand people.

Meanwhile, officials in the West keep saying that Ukraine must "achieve victory over Russia on the battlefield."
Moreover, this is used as a kind of factor or condition, under which Ukraine will be accepted into NATO. The next summit of the military bloc will be held in July this year in Lithuania.

We also had such a person, Mishka Marked, he liked to express himself in such a way that no one would understand (even he himself), but it sounded smart.

Now the word has become fashionable (among Ukrainian "experts") narrative. (Ours somehow manage without narratives.) And they begin their speeches by citing philosophers, ancient and not so, then the narrative is used. They really "want to show their scholarship." After citing the philosophers, they begin to carry their own sharovar nonsense of the village level of argumentation.

In fact, everything is not simple, but very simple. Any event has two components - essence (essentia) and existence in the current moment (exsistentia). The essence is unchanged, but the existence can change greatly, and in order to explain this canoe to people, a narrative (narrare) was invented - this is just a story that is non-controversial in terms of internal logic, the basis of which is essence and existence. The simplest example of a narrative - the word canoe comes from the name Biden, since that transcendent nonsense that the said character carries must have a proper name. The fact that the term was coined long before Biden appeared suggests that Hellenistic Athenian students anticipated the appearance of this character and anticipated this event. Is it logical? Logically! Here's a narrative for you. This is what politicians do.

I didn't understand anything, but your explanation is just great! If I could do the same, then the boss’s question about the opened bottle of cognac on my desk or my wife’s bewilderment about the fact that I smell of extraneous female perfume would not present problems for me.

[Leader_Barmaleev]

Absolutely nothing complicated. I can share my experience, maybe it will be useful to you. So, you need to get two higher educations, after which it’s not bad to teach at a university for at least five years. To defend a Ph.D. degree in unnecessary sciences to nobody, and after that, for just some forty years, daily unsubscribe from prosecutor's requests, investigative checks and ministerial orders. By retirement, you will generate any excuse without waking up. Checked.

And who cares in the West? Putting a million Ukrainians to harm Russia? Yes, please! These are not priceless Anglo-Saxons. However, they don’t really care for their marginals either.

[Adrian28]

A million people who could have been Russians if events had turned out differently.

[dmi.pris1]

History does not have a subjunctive mood .. However, in the scenario of the liberation of a large part of Ukraine, these millions would have flown to the West, and most of the rest began to quietly shit. Thirty years, almost two generations, were brought up in hatred towards us

[Myths]

What's that and they know how to shit. Now let them be noble in Europe now.

That's why you shouldn't get carried away with joining Ukraine to yourself. But this project definitely needs to be destroyed. What is not annexed to itself is divided into separate regions and each is given state independence. Formal. We will have the Republic of Kiev, the Lviv Republic, the Ivano-Frankivsk Republic... Such small sub-states will never be able to pursue an independent policy, which means that it will be possible to keep them on a leash without any problems. When we understand that people have been reeducated in a particular region, we can join it.
In general, the Ukraine project has already died, as for me. 10 million refugees, huge damage to the economy, a lot of loans issued. I can’t even imagine how this state will be able to survive after the cessation of Western support. And it will stop with the end of the NWO, regardless of its outcome. And Russia... And Russia, even after the heaviest defeats in its history, rose again.

And who cares in the West?

West is a loose concept. USA is the West. Europe is the West. Personally, I have a strong feeling that the West is at war with the West on our territory and the goal of the United States is by no means Russia with China. And the USA has an absolutely win-win party

West is a loose concept. USA is the West. Europe is the West.

It is true, but taking into account the fact that Europe is already a colony of the Anglo-Saxons. The USA as a whole is not the West, but a rabble from all over the world under the leadership of the Anglo-Saxons, who are considered the West ..

?Put a million Ukrainians to harm Russia?

And what is a million ukrov for the West? Yes, this is a drop, this is what will not get to the west, where they are not needed. Even if seven million die (the entire adult male population), the West will not care. Younger women and children will be dismantled for the reproduction of Europeans (.LGBTeshnikov must be replaced), cripples from the war, old people, drug addicts and drunken natives will remain in the Ruin. Everyone will be put on reservations. Here is the whole result.

Yeah, only they got away from Ukraine a long time ago, according to opinion polls conducted by the Americans - just young women of commercial age twisted everything

[rocket757]

Bonus with home delivery...
The population remains smaller and smaller, especially since the possibilities of self-healing are also not ah ...

[Bykov.]

So they don't play anything. It is they who play and twirl the pagan arrogant Saxons.

and I watch for Europe and for the USA this show is who says and writes what!

Well, he said and said, to hell with him, he was not much mistaken.
For us (Russia, Russians) the main thing is something else:
in a database like those that are now undergoing losses on both sides are approximately the same.
Do we have a lot of extra young guys to "utilize" them?
It is high time to translate SVO into some other quality.
A real ongoing war is a war and should be called / declared.
Antics here are both ugly and harmful.

[rotkiv04]

the fact that the Anglo-Saxons only dreamed of in the last century, it embodied in the current reality - the Russians are destroying the Russians, this is what the West could only dream of and this is their most important victory

[Fangaro]

Invented terms...
Existential Roulette, Ukraine, Brian in Asia Times.
There are words, but there is no meaning in these words.
