The DaTechGuy Peace Plan for Ukraine: Sell Russia the Donbas region.
Posted: July 6, 2024 by datechguy in warTags: donbas, russia ukraine war
There are a lot of reasons why the war in Ukraine continues on. The Russian “official” Casus Belli was to protect ethnic Russians in the area. While that concern has some legitimacy to it that’s the thing about creating an empire of unwilling states, when your people move there and said empire breaks up as empires do the folks who moved there they tend to be disliked by the natives.
#unexpectedly of course
The actual Casus Belli had two additional components that were likely much bigger drivers.
- The desire to re-establish the old Russian control of Ukraine which predates communism by a century or more.
- Biden telegraphing to Putin that if he went into Donbas it was OK (People tend to forget that 2nd part)
Putin being Putin seeing that Biden was Biden then decided to go all in rather than just settling for Donbas and Biden being Biden (or whoever was actually running the country) swiftly offered Zelensky free passage out of Ukraine before it fell. Zelensky showing that he’s more than just another corrupt kleptocratic answered in words that Ukrainians will never forget:
“The fight is here; I need ammunition, not a ride,”
There is not a lot to admire about Zelensky but with that answer he likely saved not only his country but likely Moldovia too. The aid came and the Russians were stopped and Kiev held.
In the western part of the country Russia had much more success and Ukrainian attempts to drive them out have met with failure. Russia can’t go beyond Donbas without a major escalation and for all the weapons granted them by NATO allies Ukraine can’t drive them out.
This leads to stalemate and Attrition.
Russia having been invaded twice in the last two centuries by the single most powerful military in the world at the time (Napoleon 1812, Hitler 1941) is now VERY worried about NATO being right on their border (the Finish borders is not suitable for an invasion of Russia). To a westerner the idea of NATO invading Russia might seem insane but Russia fought a war with Poland in the 1920’s and didn’t do all that well and given the failures of the Russian war machine exposed by this war that fear along with saving face is high on the Putin agenda.
Meanwhile Ukraine isn’t all that anxious to give up a chunk of their country even one with a huge Russian ethnic population, they fear that peace might give time for Russia to reset rearm and have another go, plus frankly Zelensky and his pals have been making out like the bandits they are from the grift that comes from western aid. His decision to stay and oppose Russia may have paid off for Ukraine as a nation but it’s paid off big time for him personally. If the war ends so does the gravy train.
In the end however the Ukrainians can’t win a war of attrition and the longer it goes on the better the chance Russia might actually have a 2nd go at Kiev or that NATO & or US troops end up being thrown in the fray.
In short the war is now pretty much become a body and money pit, and unless it ends the potential for someone to do something stupid to generate a wider war or a bigger crises keeps increasing.
So how do yo solve the problem of Russia not wanting to lose face and Ukraine wanting to drive them out?
The problem is in fact simple: SELL RUSSIA THE DONBAS REGION!
The Price can be set very high high enough to mask what will in effect be reparations for the invasion. The folks concerned about the cut off of their graft have little need to worry as the rebuilding costs will be considerable with a lot of money to be skimmed off the top from the coming western aid. Meanwhile both Ukrainian and Russian conscripts who are dying by the ton can get out of this alive and rebuild their lives while Drone technology can give early warning if Russia starts to prepare for a second Round OR if Ukraine decides to try to take the sold region back.
This is the best and simplest way to end the war. Won’t please everyone but the alternative is that this war eventually ends will Russia troops in Kiev or NATO troops in Moscow and the price of either of those options is too terrible to contemplate.
Sell the Russians Donbas and let’s move on.
Under the Fedora: Has it Really only Been a week? The Trump Challenge, By Their Cuts Shall You Know, the #deepfakemedia or #deepshitmedia and Willie Brown for Kamala’s VP
Posted: July 5, 2024 by datechguy in Always look at the bright side of Trump, election 2024, elections, elections, politics, Uncategorized, under the fedoraTags: deepfakemedia, deepshitmedia, donald trump, george stephanopoulos, joe biden, Kamala Harris, willie brown
Has it really only been a week?
If nothing else the last seven days has proved one of my favorite maxims about “Conventional Wisdom” true:
Conventional Wisdom is ALWAYS correct…right up until the moment it isn’t
Donald Trump has pretty much been following the old military maxim to not get in the way when your enemy is falling apart however he did interject himself slightly with a post on Truth social offering to go mano a mano in a 90 minute no moderator live debate anytime any place to give Joe Biden a chance to prove his assertion that’s he fine.
The White House can only ignore this offer as even if it’s held first thing in the morning with a gag tied around Trump’s mouth there is no way Joe “Black Woman” Biden could do this without disaster.
What a difference a week makes eh?
Van Jones is already saying the decision has been made to replace Biden even though:
- Biden insists he’s staying
- Legally he can’t be made to leave without his own consent or his death
The most effective way to remove the left’s no longer useful idiot Biden other than killing him and pretending it’s old age (at least plausible) or not catching him “in time” at his next fall (again plausible) would be to threaten to allow Merrick Garland to suddenly “discover” proof of all of the deals where the big man got his 10% but that of course conflicts with the new narrative of Biden as a “decent” man (a word I’m not heard to describe him in his 50 year career who has done good service but is now too old to go on.
We will know tonight after his interview with George “The fixer” Stephanopoulos. As the interview is taped we will know what the orders from those actually running the country are by the cut of that interview.
If it shows Biden in the best possible light in terms of lucidity then we know that they’ve decided the poll number demand Biden stay.
If it shows a cut where Biden is sympathetic but unable to function then you know the decision has been made to dump him and it’s just a matter of forcing the matter.
We’ll know tonight
The press is still going all out to try to pretend that they knew absolutely nothing about Joe Biden’s mental decline. At the moment their credibility is as healthy as the UK conservative party who just lost in a landslide to labor thanks to the emergence of the UK Reform party. This has to change if they are to be an effective weapon for the left in a 2nd Trump Term
While they will likely find enough people who want to be fooled to play along we now need a new nickname for the MSM. The obvious choice is the Schultz Brigade as they insist they saw nothing and knew NUTHing about Biden’s mental state
But as that reference even with the Family Guy update is a tad dated I think given their united insistence until 8 days ago that all of the video of Biden demonstrating his mental state were “deepfakes” I think from this point on the Mainstream Media should now be called the #deepshitmedia or if you want to be more polite and less accurate the #deepfakemedia
I’m fine with either choice
Finally if Joe Biden resigns from the president and Kamala Harris becomes POTUS the left will insist on a quick choice for VP as she would be one heartbeat away from America’s 3rd President Johnson.
To me the obvious choice is former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown.
There are several reasons why he would be an excellent pick that checks several important boxes
- His pick would not be would not be a threat to any up and coming dem
- As an old man at the end of his career a six month stint as VP would not be beyond him
- He has name recognition and popularity among the black vote which the Dems need
- His record in SF would appeal to the left.
- He’s still articulate and would have no issue defending this administration
All solid and practical reasons but most of all it would be payback not only for a lifetime of service to the Democrat party but would be a personal sign of gratitude from the first woman president acknowledging that she would not have risen to the most powerful position in the world without his discovering her and giving her career the most passionate forward thrusts he could.
An important and realistic lesson to all young girls on the easiest way for a woman to get ahead.
The Declaration of Independence From Coolidge to Biden
Posted: July 4, 2024 by datechguy in special eventsTags: history
Normally I post a copy of the Declaration of Independence every July 4th but this frankly is much cooler. The declaration read by every president from Coolidge to Biden.
I’m sorry you don’t get much cooler than that in a political sense.
