Hi John
This is a really helpful analysis. It is so good, that I think it is worth HMG officials considering your approach/ideas. I will send it to my MP, Alex Ballinger, for comment and certainly to pass on. I will put your piece on my blog. Now done.
The Russian/Ukraine War needs to end with neither side feeling they have lost or won. That must mean land for peace, including Russia keeping Crimea, I think. That was a quid pro quo for our Western firebrands in Kyiv ousting a properly and fairly elected pro-Russian President. It served us right. It must mean now, however, rehabilitating Putin by majoring on Western European trading links with Russia. Even inviting him into NATO and/or EU. He must be treated as a friend, an equal, a trading partner and not ostracised. Let him have all or part of Eastern Ukraine in exchange for peace and trade and harmony. We owe him nothing less, after all our crass, insensitive, triumphalist blunders by the USA (read the Sixsmiths' 2025 book: 'Putin and the Return of History')
Treating him as a pariah, a disgrace, an enemy gets no-one an inch further. He must be accepted and trusted and become a partner in a Greater Europe project of trade and co-operation and in Climate compliance. I think, our very own Netanyahu is all of those things that I have labeled Putin as being but, he/we are far, far worse. Therefore, we don't have a leg to stand on in being THE Most Supreme Hypocrites out!!
