Five Benefits That The US Would Reap From Coercing Ukraine Into More Concessions To Russia<\/span><\/p>\n

Failure to do so risks another \u201cforever war\u201d, an Afghan-like debacle for the US, or World War III.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov\u2019s\u00a0recent reaffirmation<\/a>\u00a0of his country\u2019s goals in the Ukrainian Conflict signal that the Kremlin regards\u00a0the US\u2019 reportedly finalized peace plan<\/a>\u00a0as\u00a0unacceptable<\/a>. Ukraine must withdraw from the entirety of the disputed territories, at least partially demilitarize\u00a0and denazify<\/a>, and Western troops mustn\u2019t deploy there afterwards for Russia to agree to a\u00a0ceasefire<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are the five benefits that the US would reap from coercing Ukraine into these and other concessions to Russia:<\/p>\n

1. Swiftly & Sustainably End The Ukrainian Conflict<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another \u201cforever war\u201d or Afghan-like debacle would be averted upon swiftly ending the conflict via these means, which would lead to a sustainable peace since Russia\u2019s security interests would be ensured. The Trump Administration thus wouldn\u2019t have to worry about getting dragged into another quagmire via mission creep if peace talks collapse or having its reputation tarnished by a defeat. Coercing Ukraine into the required compromises for ending the conflict would be an effective and face-saving way to\u00a0move on<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2.<\/strong>\u00a0Shock NATO Into Spending 5% Of GDP On Defense<\/strong><\/p>\n

NATO\u2019s Western European members are expected to procrastinate on Trump\u2019s demand that they spend 5% of GDP on defense unless they\u2019re shocked by the proposed US-coerced Ukrainian concessions. They\u2019d jolt them into prioritizing this without further delay due to their paranoid fear of a Russian invasion. This would in turn lead to Western Europe finally shouldering more burdens for its own security and correspondingly complementing its Central European members\u2019 existing efforts in this regard.<\/p>\n

3.<\/strong>\u00a0Turn Central Europe Into The EU\u2019s Center Of Gravity<\/strong><\/p>\n

In that scenario, the Central European countries\u2019 role as NATO\u2019s frontline states would be reinforced, which could lead to them becoming the EU\u2019s center of gravity if the US helps the Polish-led \u201cThree Seas Initiative\u201d implement its\u00a0dual military-economic integration projects<\/a>. These anti-Russian countries are expected to cling even closer to the US after the Ukrainian Conflict ends, thus enabling the US to drive a wedge between Western Europe and Russia afterwards, thereby perpetuating US influence over the EU.<\/p>\n

4.<\/strong>\u00a0Enter Into A \u201cNo-Limits\u201d Resource Partnership With Russia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Expanding the\u00a0nascent<\/a>\u00a0Russian<\/a>–US<\/a>\u00a0\u201cNew<\/a>\u00a0D\u00e9tente<\/a>\u201d into a \u201cno-limits\u201d resource partnership in the post-conflict era would lead to them jointly managing the global oil and gas industries while also unlocking valuable rare earth opportunities.\u00a0Potential US ownership<\/a>\u00a0of Russia\u2019s Nord Stream and trans-Ukrainian gas pipelines to Europe could further perpetuate US influence over the bloc as well as deter Russia from violating the Ukrainian peace deal. The economic and strategic benefits would truly be unprecedented.<\/p>\n

5.<\/strong>\u00a0Accelerate The \u201cPivot (Back) To Asia\u201d For Containing China<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quickly extricating the US from the financial and military commitments that the Ukrainian Conflict entails would accelerate its \u201cPivot (back) to Asia\u201d for containing China and comprehensively add to the pressure being put upon the People\u2019s Republic by Trump\u2019s\u00a0global trade war<\/a>\/\u201ceconomic revolution<\/a>\u201d. This outcome would advance the US\u2019 grand strategic goal of reshaping the emerging Multipolar World Order more to its liking within the realistic limits posed by the global systemic transition.<\/p>\n

These five benefits would be lost if the US doesn\u2019t soon coerce Ukraine into more concessions to Russia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The conflict could continue indefinitely in that event, during which time the US\u00a0might either<\/a>\u00a0largely abandon Ukraine and thus cede its influence over the EU while accepting an historic defeat or punish Russia by \u201cescalating to de-escalate\u201d at the risk of World War III, neither of which is preferable.<\/p>\n

The best way to end what Trump rightly described as \u201cBiden\u2019s war<\/a>\u201d is therefore through the proposed means.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
