#UkraineWar Archives - West vs The Rest

After spending billions, sacrificing Ukrainian lives, and fueling a proxy war, European leaders are left sitting like schoolchildren in Trump’s office—powerless, irrelevant, and utterly defeated.

1. The Alaska Meeting: Peace Talks Without the “Peacemakers”

While European leaders were busy posing with Zelensky in a show of hollow unity, Donald Trump was already miles ahead—meeting Vladimir Putin in Alaska to discuss actual terms to end the war. Not a single European representative was invited. Not even Zelensky.

The message was clear: The adults are talking now.

Image 1: US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in Alaska, marking their first face-to-face talks in four years. The highly anticipated summit focused primarily on the ongoing war in Ukraine, with both leaders hinting at potential shifts in their countries’ diplomatic and military strategies.

After years of moral posturing, weaponizing Ukraine, and attempting to isolate Russia, the U.S. and Russia are negotiating the future of Europe—without Europe. https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-donald-trump-peace-talks-war-in-ukraine-russia-vladimir-putin/

2. The Istanbul Betrayal: How Boris Johnson Blew Up Peace

In Spring 2022, Ukraine and Russia were on the verge of signing a peace deal in Istanbul. The terms were set. The bloodshed was about to end.

Then Boris Johnson landed in Kyiv.

His message to Zelensky? “Do not sign. Fight on. We’ll support you.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/22/boris-johnson-ukraine-2022-peace-talks-russia

What followed was a catastrophic escalation: thousands more dead, cities reduced to rubble, and millions displaced—all so the West could pursue its fantasy of “weakening Russia.”

And today? Johnson sips cocktails in Greece.

Europe begs for relevance.

3. Economic Sabotage & Strategic Failure

Nord Stream sabotage → Europe froze, Russia adapted.

Sanctions? Russia’s economy grew. Ruble stabilized. New trade routes opened.
Military aid? $100+ billion vanished into a black hole of corruption and attrition.

The result? Russia is still standing. Europe is weaker, poorer, and more and less energy-dependent on the U.S.

4. The Photo That Says It All

There they were: Scholz, Macron, and Zelensky—perched awkwardly in the Oval Office, faces tense, postures pleading. They looked less like world leaders and more like students summoned to the principal’s office.

This was not a display of unity. It was an admission of failure.

They thought they could break Russia. Instead, they broke Ukraine—and their own credibility.

5. What Did Europe Achieve?

✅ Weakened itself economically and strategically
✅ Strengthened Russia’s ties with China, Iran, and Global South
✅ Proved that U.S. interests > European sovereignty
✅ Turned Ukraine into a wasteland—for nothing

The only winner is Trump—poised to dictate terms, broker a deal, and humiliate the very allies who thought they were calling the shots.

1. Post-Soviet Betrayal

- 1991: Ukraine’s Russian minority (40% of population) ignored in Western-backed “independence.”
  - “Independence” Vote: December 1, 1991.
    - Ballot Trick: Voters asked “Do you support independence?” without defining borders/federalism.
    - Russian Regions Ignored: Crimea (87% Russian), Donbas (65% Russian) forced into Kyiv’s rule.
  - Leaked Cable: US Embassy in Kyiv (1991) celebrated the vote as “anti-Soviet victory” while dismissing minority concerns.
- 1994 Budapest Memorandum: West promised security guarantees, then encouraged NATO expansion.
