The US and the UK have invested billions of dollars over the past 80 years in Ukraine as a covert “battering ram” against Russia. They are not going to give it up.
And we have the CIA and the US military industrial complex to thank for that. Smooth move on their parts!
Thank you for this solid piece of research. We mustn't forget what's going on in Ukraine while watching the genocide in Gaza unfold before our eyes. The US is behind so much bloodshed and death and at the end of the day for what? To make the oligarchs and their puppets richer. It's time we march these evil-doers to the guillotines.
Not just the US and Canada but significantly the UK was a post-WW2 refuge for Ukrainian SS, Nazis and others. In fact the Ukrainian presence in Canada could be seen as just a spillover of the much larger UK contingent. The difference I think is that the UK contingent largely integrated and disappeared, where the Canadian diaspora - including Canadian de facto deputy minister Khrysta Freeland - actively preserved their identity and their Banderist (fascist) politics.
Fantastic synopsis of a century of American mischief and how it is being primed to repeat. Thank you for laying it out so clearly. One can only hope for an alternate ending of this sequel. Can’t imagine Putin is not aware and prepping accordingly...
This article seems incomplete. It says what the US will likely attempt after an ‘official’ defeat but says nothing about its likelihood of success or Russia’s anticipation of such a move.
One of Russia’s principal goals is denazification which presumes that no Nazis will be left to fight. What will be left of Ukraine for Nazi insurgents to operate from? Will parts of Galicia be ceded to Hungary or Poland? And what is the likelihood of a Chechen type reconciliation with Ukraine after hostilities. It would have been interesting to see these aspects considered.
Thanks for your comment, Sometimes I make the mistake of thinking people have read my earlier works. Regarding your questions, I answer most of them in detail in my article: "This is How Ukraine Ends"
As I described in my article, “This is How Ukraine Ends”, Russia will not occupy all of Ukraine — why should they? The people in Western Ukraine are not Russian; they are Catholic, not Orthodox; they have no desire to be part of Russia. And nore importantly, for the history-obsessed Putin — that part of Ukraine has never been part of Russia.
Instead, Russia will reclaim those oblasts that were always historically Russian. The resultant state of Ukraine will most likely consist of those areas delineated in red and pink below.

Indeed, Putin told Tucker Carlson in their recent interview that Russia wants to negotiate an end to the conflict, and indeed they already had such a negotiation in March 2022, when Russia and Ukraine held peace talks in Istanbul.
The result of those negotiations was an 18-point plan that outlined the goals and precepts to be implemented as part of the peace deal, and these points were agreed and initialed by both sides.
Unfortunately, at that time, the peace plan was infamously scuttled by Boris Johnson, acting at the behest of the Biden Administration. Ukrayinska Pravda (Ukrainian Pravda), reported that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson arrived suddenly, “without warning” on April 9, swooping down like some perverse deus ex machina to kill the infant peace deal in its crib.

It is logical to assume that the next negotiated peace plan will be similar to the one that was trashed in 2022, to include:
A promise for Ukraine to remain neutral and to never join NATO;
Removal of all NATO installations, personnel and equipment;
Limited military structures and armaments for self-defense only;
De-Nazification of Ukraine.
What will “de-Nazification” look like in post-war Ukraine?
Thanks to the interview that Tucker Carlson conducted with Vladimir Putin, we now know what the Russian President means by “de-Nazification”.
As Putin explained in the interview, the scope and methodology of the de-Nazification process “can be handled as part of the negotiations”. This will mean:
Purging the Ukrainian government of all Nazi and ultranationalist elements;
Outlawing the practice of Nazism and the use of Nazi slogans and symbols;
Prohibiting Nazis and ultranationalists from running for election;
Prohibiting the worship and exaltation of Nazi heroes such as Stepan Bandera.
The end result is that the Nazis in Ukraine, the so-called “Banderites”, wwill be driven underground and out of public life. They will once more become a fringe element with no official power and no ability to decide public policy or influence public opinion.
And THAT is when the covert intelligence services of the West will swing into action.

Excellent history of the CIA vis-a-vis Russia, and the prediction of what they will do after Russia wins the Ukraine war is very probably spot-on.

Thanks! I’ll take a look.
I have now updated my article and added this:
Ukraine will become a “rump state”

What is the US government's motive for wanting Russia to collapse?
I explain the motivations and the reasons in my article, "Slaughtering Russia is U.S. Policy":

The problem being that’s their endgame for everything and everywhere.
