Russia-Ukraine war will end is a question that has attracted the attention of the whole world this year. But often because of different positions and interests, politicians from various countries have different views on this. Among them, the views of Americans and Russians are the most obvious.
Usually, Americans believe that the Russo-Ukraine war will end with Europe and the United States helping Ukraine to drag Russia down. Regardless of whether Ukraine can recover its territory, Russia should be devastated after this battle.
The Russians believe that although Europe and the United States would rather sacrifice their own economy to support Ukraine, Russia’s economy has strong resilience and its military is far superior to Ukraine. Therefore, the final outcome must be that Russia wins the war and the United States loses its hegemony in Eastern Europe.
But recently, two politicians who have great influence in Russia and the United States have given a similar answer to how the Russia-Ukraine war ended from different standpoints and perspectives.
are respectively a well-known right-wing social activist in Russia, Dugin, who was publicized by Western media as the think tank behind Putin's special military operations, and Kissinger, a former Secretary of State with great reputation in the US diplomatic circles.
December 15th is the 30th birthday of Dukin's daughter Dalia Dukina, but she died in the assassination of Ukrainian intelligence agencies in August this year. When Dugin attended the commemoration a few days ago, he talked about how the Russia-Ukraine war ended.
He roughly means that there are actually only two possibilities for the Russo-Ukraine War to end. The first is that after Russia has gone through a hard struggle, it will win the victory on behalf of the vast number of countries that oppose hegemony in the world. In this way, the world situation will maintain a relatively stable development. .
Another possibility is that Europe and the United States continue to increase their aid to Ukraine, and even get directly involved in the war. It may be difficult for Russia to win at that time, but Europe and the United States will also die together with Russia. To put it bluntly,
said that after NATO and got involved in the war, it led to the outbreak of a global nuclear war and the destruction of the world. Coincidentally, recently, Kissinger expressed his views on the future of the Russia-Ukraine war in the British "Spectator" magazine on the side of the United States, and to some extent coincided with Dugin's ideas. What
Kissinger probably meant was that the Russo-Ukraine war has reached a critical point. If the two sides can seize this opportunity to negotiate peace as soon as possible, the outcome of the war may be rewritten. But if the two sides fail to grasp the node of this negotiation, then the next Russo-Ukraine war may expand in scale, and even evolve into world war .
In order to prove his point of view, Kissinger also deliberately took the First World War as an example, saying that the current situation is a bit like August 1916, when the First World War was at a turning point, and all parties involved in the war wanted peace talks The idea, so I hope the United States can come out to mediate.
But because the then American President Wilson was busy with domestic elections and failed to seize this opportunity, which led to the outbreak of the Battle of Verdun, and Britain, France, and Germany suffered 2 million casualties at one time in this war soldier. The heavy casualties of
directly made it impossible for Britain, France and Germany to continue negotiations. Therefore, the First World War was completely out of control, and it was not until both sides were exhausted that they had no choice but to cease fighting.
Obviously, what Kissinger means is that if the United States promotes the Russia-Ukraine peace talks now, there is still a chance for this war to end with less casualties. The subversive battle of "Verdun Meat Grinder" in World War I caused Russia and Ukraine to completely lose space for peace talks, and then directly involved NATO in the war.
Objectively speaking, Kissinger's concerns are justified. Recently, Ukraine is promoting plans to counterattackCrimea. Once a war really starts, Russia will definitely do its best and will no longer care about any leeway. At that point, it will likely result in a mass-destruction campaign of terror that leaves Ukraine and Russia, NATO and Russia, no room for negotiation.
To sum up, although Dugin and Kissinger have different standpoints,There is a little difference in the statement, but the meaning they express is actually similar. That is, as a big country, Russia, since it has launched this war, it cannot end in failure.
If the United States wants to use the Russo-Ukraine war to bring down Russia, it will only force Moscow to recklessly. At that time, not only Ukraine will be destroyed, Europe, the United States and even the whole world will not be able to stay out of it.
Only the enemy knows you best. Now that Russia and the United States are countries that are hostile to each other, the more knowledgeable politicians in the country have come to similar conclusions based on the same thing but different positions. crucial moment.
Whether the United States and Russia can seize this time window as much as possible to promote peace talks and a truce will not only determine their own future, but also affect the fate of the world. Now that Putin has stated that he will not refuse to negotiate on the Ukraine issue, the ball will undoubtedly be kicked to the side of Kyiv and Washington .
