As a very difficult decision is looming for Zelenskyy, the weight of history is making the choice for him. Carry on fighting and lose more territory [at a rate of 1,200 DEAD soldiers per day] — or go with Donald Trump 28 points plan for peace and accept the losses. Honest observers and serious military experts cannot expect a return to 1991. According to some expert:

1991 — Ukraine has a population of 55 million

2014 — Ukraine has a population of 44 million

2025 — Ukraine has a population of 19 million

FOUR oblasts have chosen to return to Russia after a 100 year (say since 1922) errant in Ukraine.

Crimea voted to re-join the Russian Federation in 2014.

These cannot be changed without WW3 — and WW3 would not change the situation.

Kherson, Kharkiv and Odessa are still in the grey basket. If the Russian Military Operation continues, they will fall and the Russian population [60 %] of these Ukrainian Oblast will be voting to join the Russian Federation.

Trump might pull some of his points off, but Russia will still baulk on a few sticky points — especially finances.

But until the contract, the peace agreement, is signed by all parties [Russia, Ukraine and the USA — no EU], Russia will continue its RMO. 

Meanwhile one can hear the screeches of women.

Okay, here Gus is going down a slide...

The main frontline spokespersons against "Peace According to Trump" are women. Kalas, Von der Leyen and the Ukrainian Representative at the United Nations... And more.

At the top, there is a picture of an American medic working for the Ukrainian Army in a well-appointed bunker. The reporter/journalist from The Independent is biased: Russia bad, Ukraine excellent. Russia does nasty tricks in Europe. Europe is a clean white dove... BS from The Independent...

"NATO Isn't ready for war, yet..." she says...

What is this supposed to mean? Ukraine has to carry fighting and lose another 1.5 million "men" till 2028, when NATO is up to Russia's present military strength? Would Russia improve its capability beyond what NATO could reach by then? Would Russia not have won the whole space by then? [something Russia does not want to do.]

This is where I go back to the "women". Not all women of course. This would be sexist. But the women who have placed themselves at the frontline of AGRESSION without understanding history nor the damage their position is inflicting on populations — those of Ukraine and of Europe. Kajas, der Leyen and Hrystyna Gayovyshyn remind me of the Australian "mushroom poisoner", now in prison...

They also remind me of the women in the front seat of a boxing match encouraging their man to fight until he's completely brain-damaged by a superior opponent, in order to boast about "honour" and "glory".

Zelenskyy seems to have seen the writing on the wall. He hates the Trump Plan but he hates the alternative though he tries to put a spin on "freedom", "independence" and "glory" as winter will be harsh...

All of these "women" and Zelenskyy have been part of the grand "chessboard": destroy Russia [for America since 1917 — for the UK since before Napoleon — for the Germans since Hitler — for the French who knows]... all with ebbs and flow of cunning, deceit and indoctrination without understanding. Russia has not been a clean player either throughout history and made some mistakes, but since the dismantling of the USSR, the Russian Federation has been somewhat morally far superior to the "west". The "west" has thrown everything at russia, from the Georgia to the Chechen wars, from the Navalny, the robber Oligarchs and now the Ukrainian caper. The "west" provoked The Russian/Ukraine conflict. 

It is likely that Donald Trump still has no full understanding of the "west" deceitful manipulation through its political and media outlets of the real synergies so far, but it seems The Donald can see if the "war" is not arrested at this point in time, things will go far worse — especially for the "west" with de-dollarisation and other shifts: BRICS creates more wealth than the G7...

So, let's hope that the human world is about to enter a new phase: cooperation rather than confrontation. multipolarity rather than unilarity. and that DECEIT WILL DIE...

This could be the last chapter of Gus Leonisky's book "THE AGE OF DECEIT"...
