The United States Is Planning for the Aftermath of Ukraine War by Ms Sonja van den Ende!

According to the Rand Corporation, there are two scenarios for the United States: "after" the less favorable war or "after" the more favorable war.

The prominent think tank for United States policymaking recently published a long report on the so-called aftermath of the war in Ukraine.

Washington,D.C. and its NATO allies have to admit that the United States is losing another proxy war together with its satellite states of Europe. Previously they lost in Afghanistan (after more than 20 years, a second Vietnam), also recently in Syria and Iraq, and now in Ukraine.

Even so-called "Russia experts" in Europe admit that Ukraine is losing.

"I do not rule out that Ukraine will lose the war this year. Europe has misjudged the Russian army," says Belgian "Russia expert" Joris van Blade to De Standaard.

Russia has the initiative again and the Russian people are not going to stop the war, he thinks. "We have missed historic opportunities to make Europe safer."

According to the Rand study, two scenarios are possible: a so-called "hardline" or a "softline" postwar. Of course, the United States prefers a softline postwar outcome, where they still have room for manipulation and possible coup d etat and Balkanization (partition) of Russia just like they did in former Yugoslavia. According to Rand, the United States military presence in Europe has increased to around 100,000 personnel since the start of Russias Special Military Operation in February 2022.

The United States deployed attack aviation from Germany to Lithuania; Patriot air defense systems from Germany to Slovakia and Poland; and F-15 tactical fighters from the United Kingdom to Poland. In addition, European countries are sending F-16s to Romania, as the Netherlands recently indicated. These F-16s are capable of attacking Russian cities. Washington,D.C. characterized these deployments as part of a wartime surge to deter Russia from expanding its aggression beyond Ukraine to attack United States allies in Europe.

Leaders in Europe are almost hysterical. One after another, they proclaim that Russia is going to invade Europe, starting with Moldova, the Baltic States, and Poland. The Netherlands, Germany, and France are warning their people to expect an attack from Russia, as is Sweden, which recently joined NATO.

The population is being frightened by the unhinged rhetoric of their politicians. Conscription must be reactivated and Germany even has a concept ready to recruit migrants (about 1.5 million serviceable men) and entice them to get a passport.

European leaders are also concerned about the upcoming elections in the United States after Republican contender Donald Trump made comments suggesting he would quit NATO and let Europe fend for itself. They are worried that the United States might abandon them.

During a recent NATO conference in Brussels, a lot of war rhetoric was spoken. "We live in an era where we have to expect the unexpected," said Dutch NATO Admiral Rob Bauer. Meanwhile, the Danish and German defense ministers have warned of a potential war with Russia within five years.

The United States and European leaders assume the "hardline" scenario is likely in the next few years. They proclaim through their mouthpieces in the corporate-controlled news media that Russia is becoming much more "risk-acceptant". Therefore, it is calculated that a hardline approach may increase NATOs ability to deter purported Russian aggression.

It is that time of year again for the hawkish Munich Security Conference, in Bavaria, Germany. This is the forum where President Putin provoked alarm when he gave his famous speech in 2007, making it clear that the unipolar world was over and a multipolar world would emerge in the foreseeable future. Putins prognosis caused much chagrin for Western leaders.

This years theme at Munich is animated by Donald Trumps supposed undermining of NATO. The appeal for support from the United States has become more urgent among some European politicians. Ukraine lacks weapons and ammunition, they openly say. Russia is sometimes five times superior on the battlefield. In addition, a United States support package worth around $60 billion was approved by the Senate last week but the Republican-dominated House of Representatives could reject it - and so far it looks like it will.

Europe, in turn, would not be able to fill this gap and, therefore, Ukraine will lose the proxy war for the United States and the West.

In addition to the presence of Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, the European leaders and lobbyists will also use the opportunity in Munich to lobby Republican Senators and Representatives to support Ukraine (with money). Nowhere outside the United States can you find as many American politicians in one place as at the Munich Security Conference this year.

Zelenskys participation in the conference had been expected for some time but had not yet been officially confirmed.

Last year, he opened the most important meeting of Western politicians and experts on security policy via video address. Now he is taking part in person for the first time since the Russian Special Military Operation began almost two years ago. He is afraid for his position; he is losing the proxy war on behalf of the United States and EU-NATO.

The actor-President of Ukraine Zelensky desperately wants to secure future European support.

United States Vice President Kamala Harris is attending the Munich conference instead of Joe Biden. Rumors are circulating in the Western media that President Bidens cognitive condition has deteriorated even more and he is unable to come.

If Biden wins the November presidential election, will Harris become the next president upon his inevitable retirement during a second term? That is probably the intention.

As President Putin said, he would rather have Biden than Trump as the winner. In his diplomatic way, he said that Biden is an "old school" politician, meaning of course that a Democratic government with Biden-Harris is easier to understand and estimate than Donald Trump, who is capricious and unpredictable.

These are the facts: the presumed hegemony of the Western states is falling to pieces. The "Collective West" is losing its wars. Their status and economies are in a downward spiral, even before the Special Military Operation.

The politicians and the elites who stand behind them, the World Economic Forum (WEF) and other semi-international organizations (usually Western-oriented) want to compensate for this historic loss of the unipolar world with a new system, away from fossil energy, ostensibly for the climate, but actually to try to weaken and isolate Russia by destroying its economy based on copious oil and gas resources.

European so-called leaders, in fact, "vassals" of the United States, have slavishly followed the agenda of creating a new Cold War, which could turn into a hot war.

Instead of betting on diplomacy, they have chosen the path of war, in contradiction to the (Western) United Nations Agenda 2030, where Western countries have forced this agenda on the Global South.

This agenda also states that we must strive for peace and prosperity for everyone. So it is yet another lie from the Global West, or rather the empire of lies, which is now submerged in its own lies.
