There’s no big “benefit” to the newest push promoting Ukrainian surrender and capitulation to Russia. The arguments for & against appeasement have been made over and over again. The only “opportunity” that has arisen has been for the Russophile set to have their voices amplified.
The Kremlin agents, useful idiots, and Russophile club has had a spotlight shone on their immoral, anti-facts and anti-Ukrainian arguments again. Think: “There’s no such thing as bad press”.

No new facts or arguments have been made. The bad one just got a boat load of attention.
In fact, I’ve seen a great deal of variations of the same tired appeasement articles from the usual suspects consolidated into threads so you can see the arguments get whitewashed and validated by academic and expert “authority”. Yeah, it’s been an “opportunity” all right.
The only “opportunity” and “good” that came out of pushing the SAME old tired and worn immoral, anti-Ukrainian, pro-Kremlin policy is for the Kremlin to have all its people come out at once to sing this shit tune in unison.
I suppose the “silver lining” I can put in this dark information warfare operation is that at least it has shown again who all the like minded assholes are.
@RomanSohn, @HopkoHanna and I have made many very strong arguments and legal proposals over the years that would help immediately repress Russia’s aggression and revanchist aims. I don’t see these remedies being cited in this “opportunity” for discussion. It is no accident.

I keep thinking about how the Biden admin was considering Matthew Rojansky as the Russia Director of the National Security Council. I wonder if someone didn’t reach out to Rand for Charap’s appeasement piece to see what reception it would receive if adopted as US policy.
The public response to the prospect of the Wilson Center’s Rojansky being the NSC Russia director was a resounding “hell no”. Did they reach out for an appeasement pusher to use it as a test balloon? See how big a commotion the policy would cause? Acceptance from enough people?
I also can’t help but continue to feel that no matter the rhetoric from the Biden admin, he is cut from the same cloth as Obama who was a disaster on foreign policy. The man of the “reset” admin may not be all that different on Russia. Decisions to date have largely sucked.

The bottom line is that many people see the world full of “us and them” “like and other” “worthy or less than”.

Ukraine is regarded as a “have not” and “less than” country by many. Ukrainians are “not worthy” of dignity.

Genocidal mafia state Russia? KEEP ‘EM HAPPY!

“If Ukraine is so irrelevant then why are we talking about it?” Because EVEN IF you are immoral and don’t care about Ukraine’s existence, MOSCOW cares about it a great deal. It makes or breaks the Russian imperial project. So the Q is: Do you want Russia on steroids to exist?
I know people like to reduce it to “moral” vs “sphere of interest” argument. This is masturbatory jargon. It’s simple: Either you believe in the international security order and the right to self determination, or you believe in might makes right and imperialism.

I see the Kremlin agents are once again pushing the narrative that “Ukraine should let occupied Donbas go to Russia ‘temporarily’.” “Make Moscow pay for it and get your shit together in the meantime, Ukraine! Then try to get it back when you are reformed!”
It’s just too good. You get to promote surrender and capitulation; rewarding Russian aggression as an “undesirable pain in Moscow’s ass”; the narrative that Ukraine’s biggest problem is corruption, NOT Moscow; under the guise of “concern for Ukraine’s well-being”.
How the hell does anyone fall for this bullshit?

“Ukrainians will never accept appeasement” is not true. Zelensky came to power on the appeasement platform in his presidential campaign. We’ve witnessed 2yrs of concession policies.

SOME patriotic Ukrainians groups - like @InformNapalm and @rok_org_ua - are fighting this hard.
We should not confuse the patriotic and devoted nation building minority with the “what’s the difference?” majority.

We shouldn’t be flippant about the recent appeasement push by the Moscow friendly, Kremlin agents. Ukraine’s Office of the President could pursue such policies.
Ze’s presidency has been grounded in appeasement policy with a clearly discernible pattern of concessions to Russia:

-Gutting UA intelligence & defence sector
-Prisoner exchanges undermining UA’s legal position on the war
-Suberverting UA’s energy independence
-Ceding territory

The appeasement pieces are coming from the usual suspects and supported by the Russocentric/ Russophile cabal. It is the same as always: “the West has to push Ukraine to compromise sovereignty not to upset Moscow to prevent something awful from happening.”

We should ignore them.
I refuse to share the piece everyone is circulating. We know the arguments. They are same immoral, pro-Kremlin ones that were peddled when Russia militarily invaded Ukraine in 2014. Anyone of influence should be working hard behind the scenes to counter this Kremlin operation.
No one of any intellectual or moral quality can in good faith argue for appeasement at this point in time. It’s like arguing for appeasement for Hitler in 1943. You know who benefits - and it isn’t the victim or law or morality.

There seems to be a tremendous amount of optimism that the West will meaningfully step up and help Ukraine if Moscow escalates its war of aggression in the coming months as many fear it will.

I cannot even begin to imagine how such unshakeable faith in western support can exist.
Not one - NOT ONE - country has even formally and officially recognized that Russia is the aggressor state waging unlawful interstate war against Ukraine. Russia militarily invaded in *2014*.
Without this CRITICAL recognition of FACT, there are so many limits on help. And more critically, if no one can even recognize that Russia is the aggressor state, how can we expect any WILLINGNESS to pursue appropriate remedies and courses of action?
