Olena Halushka - Russia is Creating a Hell on Earth in Ukraine, making Ukrainian Victory Essential

  • The approach to supporting Ukraine which Western leaders have been taking so far has been „as long as it takes“. The lack of a clearly defined end goal impacted the pace and scale of the assistance, as well as raised questions on its efficiency. It cannot last this way in the protracted war as Ukraine’s mobilisation potential and resources are shorter than Russia’s. Instead, a clear commitment of the West to aid Ukraine with „whatever it takes for a fast victory“ is the only way to return sustainable peace back to Europe.

    - more countries seeking nukes to defend themselves,
    - more autocrats opting to try bite off bits they also want of their neighbors, and
    - less economic stability for world trade, whose foundation is geopolitical predictability.

    I'm American, and deeply distressed that the US has dropped the ball for so long. I must ask, though, why Europe in general chose to not take large steps to " close the skies " in the beginning, as Pres. Zelensky pled. The Ukranians have always known what they needed and what Russia intended. I can't help thinking that the west is soft and spoiled, thus a perfect victim for predators.

      Maybe because that would have meant WW3? Quite simply We are closer to The Russian Nazi state than the USA is. And so minds were focussed on not escalating the conflict.

What is not at doubt is that the shitty MAGA wing of republican politics is frankly in a love in with tyrants and so has sold Ukraine down the river.

      yep! and many of us having been listening to related ideas for more than two years already, and writing our rep's and senators etc etc, to little avail !! Yes the american gvt has a lot on its plate now, to put it mildly. But the militaries of at least ten of the Nato countries are the lead nations in Nato, called the J10. These countries can possibly mount a coalition operation to assist Ukr if Ru does not stop this increasing assault on truely crucial infrastructure that they destroyed recently, namely one plant in Kharkiv, and to some extent another plant in Kiev. The increasing targeting of Odesa and nearby is also extremely damaging and problematic for Ukr, and so many of us having been persistently explaining to american leaders (and others have been explaining to european leaders) that if we cannot stop approx this level of damage level, then the situation can pretty quickly become untenable for Ukr's military, and that is unacceptable to us in the West, who at this point do have an obligation to secure at least what Ukr consists of at the moment. Many of us in the months before the invasion knew that the prior fiveish years had showed american passivity or weakness, namely when Trump got the US military out of Black Sea instantly the moment Ru fired upon Ukrainian naval ships near the Kerch strait, before the bridge was built. So, yeah Trump started the weak impression, and Ru knew exactly what sort of political vulnerabilities the US had, particularly maybe after Jan 6th. Anyway, part of the real problem now is that the delays in getting the right equipment to Ukr has cost some of the best Ukr soldiers and officers their lives. These ppl were the bravest, often well educated members of Ukr society. Many were the top of the brightest and most creative. (whereas weak-willed and cowardly very able-bodied young men left or didn't return to Ukr when the war started. So, when Ukr says its losing its best, most of us don't grasp how profoundly true that is!!!) We need to get truely capable weapons and any know-how or intell we have, into Ukr hands. And if that does't work, then a coalition needs to start rapidly planning direct assistance to Ukr, if Ukr wants it. This is life, whether we like it or not.

    She’s right. If the sanctions against Russian oil worked, we shouldn’t need Russian oil already. Meanwhile, OPEC is cutting production to keep prices high.

    My father fought alongside USA troops in the Pacific during WW2. He thought they were great guys although not so great as soldiers. I grew up with high regard for the USA and confidence in over 70 years as an allied friend.
    My belief has gone through 180°.
    Clearly the USA cannot be relied on. My attitude is now:
    The USA is all mouth and no trousers.

    Why does this woman have better understanding of military strategy, geopolitics and have more balls than literally EVERY SINGLE politician and military commander in my nation?
    It sounds hyperbolic but I think listening to her points here, I agree 100% with almost everything, and have held similar views for 2 years, its so nice to hear someone with a public voice express clarity.
    Zero emotional reflection or empathy is needed to arrive at these conclusions too, the strategies of appeasement and constant one sided de-escalation combined with half hearted efforts and timidity are so obviously going to maximise costs and minimize profits on a cultural/societal scale. It is truly baffling how inept the elites of the western world has become, their only saving grace is that they aren't actively cruel and generally can be trusted to keep agreements, though UK and US failure to uphold the spirit of the Budapest memorandum has put a serious crack in that too.
    In the future, only nukes will keep you safe, not the guarantees of other nations, thats the message sent on repeat at full volume.

      The nuclear weapons in Ukraine were Russian, not Ukrainian.
      The Budapest Agreement was violated by the Americans who stole all the gold from the Ukrainian Central Bank in 2014, while the Budapest Agreement stated that none of the signatories to the agreement may forcefully influence the economy of Ukraine.
      And if you want a nuclear war, no problem, you're not the only one.
      I only know who has used nuclear bombs so far.
      You don't have to accept what I wrote at all. I don't see any problem there.
      You just need to go to Ukraine and explain it to the Russians.

    She’s got very strong and meaningful arguments. She’s absolutely right about time. Time is of the essence in any war. You don’t give your enemy enough time to regenerate and get back at you with a lot more experience, while avoiding the repeat of past mistakes. Providing your enemy with time amounts to arming them! Particularly when your enemy is such a resourceful country like Russia.

      A brief history of the confrontation.
      Globalists are against the Russian people.
      2007 - Putin, speaking in Munich, accuses the West of unleashing wars, organizing color revolutions, and destroying the world order.
      2008 - The West launched a war against Russia, killing 79 Russian peacekeepers in South Ossetia.
      2014 - The West organized a coup in Ukraine, brought the Nazi junta to power there, began to destroy the Russian-speaking majority in Ukraine and arm Ukraine, preparing it for an attack on Russia.
      2007-2022 - The West is trying to sway protests in Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan, trying to carry out coups in these three countries.
      2022 - The Bandera junta attacks the independent republics of Donbass and starts a war. 8 days later, Russia invades Ukraine and begins an operation to protect the republics of Donbass.
      2024 - Russia liberates the Russian lands of Ukraine from Nazi occupiers, the standard of living in Russia is high, the standard of living in the West has collapsed, the whole world is on Russia's side against the West.

    Olena Halushka is absolutely correct on all points. Politicians, influenced be the "leader" of the west (USA), have sought to manage de-escalation, appease the aggressor and slow walked aid from the very beginning. This is an indelible stain of shame on the west and has forever reduced the trust of many nations in the west with regards to the USA. Finally, this latest package of 60 billion "for Ukraine" (significantly less when the figures are actually analyzed) does not impress me. It is a small fraction of what what spent on the Iraq war. A far less legitimate war given no weapons of mass destruction were ever found.

    Ukraine is a country where almost 50 million people lived in 1991 after the infernal communism. With the advent of democracy, the number of people living in Ukraine today dropped to around 30 million.
    Listening to the video and reading a small part of the comments, my conclusion is that Ukraine will not end well, and the Ukrainian nation is also under scrutiny.
    It would not be the first nation to disappear. In the area between the Caspian Sea and north of the Black Sea, from the eighth to the eleventh century, the state of Khazaria spread, and the Khazars disappeared and today are referred to as ghosts.
