PREV Thread: Ukraine Ceasefire ‘unacceptable’ – White House https://www.nairaland.com/7619098/ukraine-ceasefire-unacceptable-white-house Western Hysteria Over Xi-Putin Meeting Exposes Opposition to Peace in Ukraine Xi Jinping's trip to Moscow for talks with Vladimir Putin have prompted a flurry of diversions and denunciations from the West. International geopolitical consultant, speaker, author, veteran, and former international security analyst David Oualaalou unpicks the motives behind them. The West's focus on Beijing's blueprint for peace in Ukraine amid the Russia-China leaders' summit betrays its intent to prolong the conflict, a geopolitical analyst has said. US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby reacted to the three-day meeting in Moscow between Russian President Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping by branding Beijing's 12-point plan for a ceasefire "unacceptable" — comments echoed by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. The UK has doubled down on the race to arm Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky's regime to the teeth with the announcement that it will provide depleted uranium (DU) armour-piercing rounds for the 14 Challenger 2 tanks it is gifting to Kiev. David Oualaalou told Sputnik that the US media should be honest that "we, the West, do not want a peaceful initiative that will be initiated by China." "President Xi is in Moscow already and the media already is focusing too much about what he's going to be talking about: Ukraine," he said, adding that "Ukraine is going to be just part of the conversation." Far more important were financial moves to "truly cripple the US dollar in every transactions between the countries," with a "digital currency or whatever that is going to be backed by gold, not the US dollar," pointing out that "the two countries that are really amassing massive gold are Russia and China." The consultant also called the attempt by International Criminal Court — not recognised by either Russia, China or the US — to upstage the summit by charging Putin with mass child abduction days earlier "ludicrous" asking: "What credibility does the ICC have?" He said the move would only prevent talks between Russia and Ukraine's NATO backers going ahead, killing any hope Kiev may have of winning back some territory at the negotiating table, stressing: "That territory is not returning back to Ukraine. It's done. That's to me, what it means." The analyst said the dozen points in China's plan — including an end to the West's "Cold War mentality" and its resort to unilateral sanctions were "pragmatic" and "straightforward" — but Washington is just not interested. "The reason why we the US, we collective West, are opposing to this is we do not want a peace initiative to be initiated by non-Western countries such as China," Oulaalou said. "That's how much we want the conflict to drag on." "At the same time our credibility on the global stage has been shattered because we have never been that honest broker," he added. "Look no further than the Arab-Israeli conflict." By contrast, China has just succeeded in helping mend relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia after years of knife-edge tensions — a low-key diplomatic effort that excluded the West. "The negotiations were not conducted in English," Oulaalou noted. "The communique that came out of that trilateral meeting was not in English language. And right there, it sends a clear message to how irrelevant the US is becoming when it comes down to issues like this of brokering a peace." "This is why we are objecting to China taking the initiative, to put an end to the Ukrainian conflict because some entities within Washington do not want that," he added. "The fact that China brokered a deal on the Ukraine conflict says a lot about where the current global order is." The commentator recalled how Boris Johnson rushed to Kiev in early April 2022 to talk Zelensky out of approving a Russian peace proposal that would have likely committed Ukraine to remaining neutral of NATO and ceding its claim to Crimea and the Donbass republics in return for a quick rapid end to hostilities. "Boris Johnson was dispatched by the United States because we didn't want to be on the stage," Oulaalou said. "It's no different than what's going on right now," he added in the wake of Washington's rejection of a ceasefire. Beijing's peace plan is far more likely to end the conflict than the West's policy of arming Ukraine while demanding Russia withdraw unconditionally, simply because it has a better relationship with Moscow and "will be able to convince Russia" to come to terms. "Russia is not going to see us also knowing how this initiative is going to be sabotaged," he stressed. https://sputniknews.com/20230321/western-hysteria-over-xi-putin-meeting-exposes-opposition-to-peace-in-ukraine-1108653379.html

The United States government does not even want Ukraine to win. They just want the conflict to continue indefinitely in order to weaken Russia. 1 Like 1 Share |

panpan:I disagree. Prolonging the conflict can not 'weaken' Russia without devastatingly 'weakening' the West. Plus the West is only a small minority. The majority in Asia, Africa and Latin America are supporting Russia. The West doesn't have the resources for a prolonged conflict with Russia. Just look at how much damage Russia has wreaked on their economy and standard of living in just one year. It's very significant. But anyways...I'm open to the US sacrificing Ukrainian lives to 'weaken' Russia I support it. 3 Likes 2 Shares |

A flower-laying ceremony was held on Friday in Serbia’s capital of Belgrade to commemorate the 24th anniversary of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia. The ceremony was led by Minister of Labor, Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs Nikola Selakovic, and was attended by Russian Ambassador Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko, Belarusian Ambassador Valery Brilev, President of the Union of War Veterans of the National Liberation Wars of Serbia (SUBNOR) Vidosav Kovacevic, as well as public figures and numerous ordinary citizens. The commemoration took place in Belgrade’s Tasmajdan Park, where a monument depicting a child with wings and engraved with the inscription "We were just children" has been erected. The monument portrays Milica Rakic, a three-year-old girl who was killed by shrapnel on April 17, 1999, in the bathroom of her home in a suburb of Belgrade, which was located far from any military facilities. According to the Serbian government, Milica was among the 87 children who were killed in the NATO bombings. Friday marks the 24th anniversary of NATO’s aggression against Yugoslavia, which was unleashed on March 24, 1999, and lasted for 78 days. The alliance’s leadership argued that the main rationale for the operation, codenamed Allied Force, was to prevent the genocide of Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian population. According to NATO sources, its aircraft flew 38,000 sorties and carried out 10,000 bombing strikes. The bombardments killed, according to Serbian estimates, 3,500-4,000 people, and left about 10,000 others (two-thirds of them civilians) injured. Material damages totaled up to $100 billion. During the three months of the bombing campaign, NATO forces dropped 15 tons of depleted uranium in bombs and shells on Serbia. Subsequently, the Balkan country’s cancer rates surged to first place in Europe. In the first ten years following the bombardments, about 30,000 people developed cancer, of which an estimated 10,000-18,000 died. [url]https://tass.com/world/1594213 [/url]

BidenDTrounce: He went on to say that China is the main economic competitor of the United States, and after attempts to suppress Russia, the United States will take on China. According to him, Russia irritates the US because "not only does it pursue an independent policy of bolstering the multipolar world, but in many ways surpasses America in spiritual, moral and military spheres.
