Today is the final proof for Anthony Blinken’s geopolitical strategy, which was developed under the direction of Joey SoftServe (and Kamala Harris), respectively. The results are not encouraging. Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about four hours ago to recognize the independence of Donetsk (and Luhansk), two important Russian-speaking regions in Eastern Ukraine. In his speech, he also discussed the idea of Russian perpetual victimhood. This would have sent CRT guru Ibrahim X. Kendi running to grab his notebook. We have posts about this at Putin Gives an Insane Speech on Ukraine, Leaves the Last Piece of War in Place, and Vladimir Putin Rules the Ukraine Table and Makes Joe Biden Look Feckless and Unreliable as a Security Partner. Putin sent Russian peacekeepers to Eastern Ukraine shortly after his speech.

For all the TDS foreign policy “experts” who are whinging and crying about Americans being reluctant to go to war with Russia over Ukraine,
Putin is urging you not to describe the Russian soldiers currently invading Ukraine as “peacekeepers”, and you will use quotes marks when you do. Call it what it is — an invasion.

Remember that the main cause of the crisis was the decision by the George W. Bush government to extend NATO not just to countries such as Hungary or Poland but to ex-Soviet states such Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Lithuania. The assumption that Russia was an exhausted geopolitical force was the basis for this decision, which, looking back, appears ill-advised.
How this plays out now is anyone’s guess. The White House has already ruled out sanctions on Russia for recognizing the autonomy of Donetsk and Luhansk and the peacekeepers seem to fall within the “minor incursion” parameters that Joe Biden established in January. I don’t know what level of risk the Ukrainians are willing to take by accidentally, or not, killing Russian troops. I’d just note that under the UN “peacekeeping” definition, both sides have to agree to a ceasefire before deployment. That hasn’t happened in this case which leads one to believe that the primary purpose of the Russian troops is to get some of them killed. So we haven’t seen the last of this melodrama.
