Si vis pacem, facere bellum

When will Donald understand that the only way to stop the Russian aggression in Ukraine, which has been ongoing for almost four years (February 2022), is to promise Putin a long and exhausting war—a war that will be damaging to the Russian economy, to Russia’s demographics, and to the very future of Russia as a state ?

Just promise him… promise him a bleak future. Sell Zelensky some long range missiles as Tomahawk. Don’t let fuckin’ Putin believe he can gain anything—territory, natural resources, or people—through armed aggression. The ennemy is Poutine and his madness. Si vis pacem, inimico tuo mortem promitte (if you want peace, promise death to your ennemy).

We have often seen in modern history countries collapse politically after a war of attrition. For instance the Austro-hungarian empire or the German Reich in 1919. In Russian history itself, the collapse of the Tsar empire in 1917, or of the Soviet empire in 1989, can be seen as similar tragedies which has threatened the existence of the Russian state.

The West—the European Union and the United States—are the only economically powers capable of dominating Russia, which is merely a second-tier power.  And Russia is secretly allied with China, which is your long-term ennemy. The Western country problem is that from the very beginning, their leader—yes, that’s you, Donald—has been completely discredited by rumors and his erratic behavior.

When will Donald understand ? I think never. He is no more a leader !
