News reports today indicate that imperialistic Russia is ready for negotiations concerning Ukraine. Whether these negotiations would be with Ukraine or with its so-called western sponsors was left unclear by Chief War Criminal Vladimir Putin’s mouthpiece, ex-Communist gangster Sergei Lavrov. Of course, the whole Russian leadership are ex-Communists and they retain the Russian Social Imperialistic dream of world domination. Communism was never their ideology-it was always extreme Russian nationalism masquerading as an “internationalist progressive” force.
The blatant, obscene Russian invasion of Ukraine, a sovereign nation that is a member of the so-called United Nations is the greatest threat to world peace since the end of World War II. That such a war is taking place in the “Common European Homeland” and is instigate by a supposedly civilized and cultured nation is unbelievable. Nevertheless, this war is documented daily on television and the Internet and the behavior of the Russian military is something unseen since the heyday of Nazism. Russian war crimes are viewed by the whole world on an almost real time basis. A previous post on this blog (click here: Joe, Don't Go!) admonished President Joe Biden not to attend the scheduled G-20 summit to be held in Indonesia as it would require Biden to meet with Putin and the Chinese dictator Xi Jinping, fresh off his seizure of lifetime power at the Chinese Communist Party Congress. Xi and Putin are not people Biden should negotiate with and in fact the entire G-20 meeting should be cancelled or, as an alternative, Russia and China should be excluded. It is enough that they paralyze the functioning of the UN. Another post (click here: It's Time for the U.N. to Go) proposed that a Council of Free Nations replace the sad heir of the League of Nations. This is not going to happen, but it should. The UN is moribund as are all organizations which include the forces of destruction and tyranny in the world.
What can be negotiated with Putin and his gang? He cannot be allowed to win at the conference table what he tried to gain on the battlefield. He and his country have failed and exposed the miserableness of their regime. To negotiate at this point anything other than complete Russian withdrawal and full reparations to pay the expense of rebuilding Ukraine is a total waste of time. Make no mistake, Lavrov, Putin and Company are experienced graduates of the USSR’s top schools. They are well educated and much more experienced than their western counterparts. So it will be easy to fall into a diplomatic trap they will spring on the West. We cannot and must not negotiate with war criminals.
War guilt must be assigned and accepted by the Russian aggressors. They must pay to rebuild Ukraine. No negotiations! No more Munichs!
