How the Russia-Ukraine war will end is an issue that has attracted global attention this year. However, politicians from various countries often have different views on this due to their different positions and interests. Among them, the views of Americans and Russians are the most obvious.
The usual situation is that Americans believe that the Russo-Ukrainian war will end with Europe and the United States helping Ukraine to bring down Russia. Regardless of whether Ukraine can regain its territory, Russia should be in ruins after this battle.
The Russians believe that although Europe and the United States are willing to sacrifice their own economies to support Ukraine, the Russian economy has strong resilience and its military is far superior to Ukraine. Therefore, the final outcome must be that Russia wins the war and the United States loses its hegemony in Eastern Europe.
But recently, two politicians with huge influence in Russia and the United States respectively gave a similar answer to how the Russia-Ukraine war would end from different positions and perspectives.
are Dukin, a well-known Russian right-wing social activist, who has been promoted by Western media as the think tank behind Putin 's special military operations, and former Secretary of State Kissinger, who has great reputation in the US diplomatic community.
December 15th is the 30th birthday of Dukin’s daughter Dalia Dukina, but she died in an assassination attempt by the Ukrainian intelligence agency in August this year. When Dugin attended a commemorative event a few days ago, he talked about how the Russia-Ukraine war ended.
What he probably means is that there are only two possibilities for the end of the Russo-Ukrainian war. The first is that Russia, after an arduous struggle, will win on behalf of the majority of countries around the world that oppose hegemony. In this way, the world situation will maintain a relatively stable development.
Another possibility is that Europe and the United States continue to increase their aid to Ukraine, or even directly get involved in the war. By then, it may be difficult for Russia to win, but Europe and the United States will also perish together with Russia.
put it more straightforwardly, that is, after NATO was involved in the war, a global nuclear war broke out, and the world was destroyed. Coincidentally, Kissinger recently expressed his views on the future of the Russia-Ukraine war in the British magazine "The Spectator" from the standpoint of the United States, and to some extent they coincided with Dugin's ideas.
Kissinger's general meaning is that the Russia-Ukraine war has now reached a critical node. If both sides can seize this opportunity to negotiate peace as soon as possible, the outcome of the war may be rewritten. But if the two sides fail to grasp this negotiating node, then the Russo-Ukrainian war may expand in scale and even evolve into a world war .
In order to prove his point, Kissinger also specifically took World War I as an example, saying that the current situation is a bit like August 1916. At that time, the First World War was at a turning point. All parties involved in the war had the idea of peace talks, so they hoped that the United States could mediate.
However, because the then US President Wilson was busy with domestic elections and failed to seize this opportunity, the Battle of Verdun later broke out. Britain, France, and Germany lost 2 million soldiers at one time in this war.
Such heavy casualties directly made it impossible for Britain, France and Germany to continue negotiations. Therefore, the first war was completely out of control. In the end, both sides were exhausted and had no choice but to cease the war.
Obviously, what Kissinger means is that if the United States promotes peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, there is still a chance that this war will end with fewer casualties. If it delays further and misses the time window, then a subversive battle like the "Verdun Meat Grinder" in World War will likely occur, causing Russia and Ukraine to completely lose the space for peace talks, and then directly involving NATO in the war.
Objectively speaking, Kissinger's concerns still have some validity. Recently, Ukraine is promoting its plan to counterattack Crimea . Once a war really breaks out, Russia will definitely do its best and will no longer leave any room. At that time, it is likely to lead to a terrorist battle of mass destruction, prompting Ukraine and Russia, NATO and Russia to lose the space for negotiation.
To sum up, although Dugin and Kissinger came from different positions and had slightly different statements, their meanings were actually similar. That is, as a big country, Russia has launched this war, and it cannot end in failure.
The idea that the United States wants to use the Russo-Ukrainian war to bring down Russia will only force Moscow to do whatever it takes. By then, not only Ukraine will be destroyed, but Europe, the United States and even the entire world will not be able to stay away.
Only your enemies know you best. Now that Russia and the United States are countries that are hostile to each other, the more knowledgeable politicians in their countries have come to similar conclusions based on the same thing and different positions. This can only show that the Russia-Ukraine war has indeed reached a critical moment.
Whether the United States and Russia can seize this time window as much as possible to promote peace talks and an armistice will not only determine their own future, but also affect the destiny of the world. Now that Putin has stated that he will not refuse to negotiate on the Ukraine issue, the ball will undoubtedly be kicked to the side of Kiev and Washington.
