[[Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn]]: From The [[Gulag Archipelago]], part V, chapter 2, “The First Whiff of Revolution.” Published 1974. English translation by Harry Willetts, © 1978 Harper & Row.
"For me this is a painful subject. Russia and the Ukraine are united in my blood, my heart, my thoughts. But from friendly contact with Ukrainians in the camps over a long period I have learned how sore they feel. Our generation cannot avoid paying for the mistakes of generations before it.
Nothing is easier than stamping your foot and shouting: “That's mine!” It is immeasurably harder to proclaim: “You may live as you please.” We cannot, in the latter end of the twentieth century, live in the imaginary world in which our last, not very bright Emperor came to grief. Surprising though it may be, the prophecy of our Vanguard Doctrine [i.e., Marxism-Leninism—Ed.] that nationalism would fade has not come true. In the age of the atom and of cybernetics, it has for some reason blossomed afresh. Like it or not, the time is at hand when we must pay out on all our promissory notes guaranteeing self-determination and independence—pay up of our own accord, and not wait to be burned at the stake, drowned in rivers, or beheaded. We must prove our greatness as a nation not by the vastness of our territory, not by the number of peoples under our tutelage, but by the grandeur of our actions. And by the depth of our tilth in the lands that remain when those who do not wish to live with us are gone.

The Ukraine will be an extremely painful problem. But we must realize that the feelings of the whole people are now at white heat. Since the two peoples have not succeeded over the centuries in living harmoniously, it is up to us to show sense. We must leave the decision to the Ukrainians themselves—let federalists and separatists try their persuasions. Not to give way would be foolhardy and cruel. And the gentler, the more tolerant, the more careful to explain ourselves we are now, the more hope there will be of restoring unity in the future.
Let them live their own lives, let them see how it works." [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 18:40, February 16, 2025 (EST)
:It's a bit late for you now to do a little Googling, after you published about 3 dozen [[Russophobic]] screeds to make [[peace]]making for [[Donald Trump]] more difficult.

{{Cquote|This was essentially [[Alexander Solzhenitsyn]]'s message: the Russians needed to give up the empire held together by force, So [[Putin]] is a follower of Alexander Solzhenitsyn. He would like to have good relations with the Ukrainians whom he views as [[Orthodox Christian]] [[Slavic]] brothers. But we've made that almost impossible because of our support for the worst elements in [[Ukraine]].|||[[Col. Douglas Macgregor]], May 5, 2025.}}

:'''Sure looks like that is happening now: ''[[UK Telegraph]]'': [https://archive.is/O38xV Trump is counting on a quick Ukraine peace deal, leaving Putin rubbing his hands], 06 April 2025.'''
Is Donald Trump going to apologize to Putin/Russia, completely withdraw sanctions and accept the treaties Putin & Lavrov offered in December 2021. Or is Russia, which has sky-high inflation, the beginnings of stagflation, rising corporate bankruptcies, labor shortages and a lower valued ruble, going to compromise?

'''Update:''' [[Mearsheimer]]:
{{Cquote|It's very important to understand that [[Hegseth]] said. He said explicitly that America's position is '''"a recognition of hard power realities on the ground"'''. Just think about those words. He said this in [[Brussels]] [ [[NATO]] & [[EU]] headquarters.] It's a recognition of hard power realities on the ground. In other words, Hegseth understands, '''the [[Trump Administration]] understands <u>we have lost. We have lost this war</u>.''' The tide has turned against [[Ukraine]] and [[the West]].
The problem is that huge numbers of people in [[the West]] don't understand that. They operate under this illusion that Ukraine is doing fine and all we have to do is give them a bit more [[weapon]]ry and fine-tune the fighting machine, and they'll stop the [[Russian]]s and eventually roll them back. And if you think like that about the situation on the ground, then obviously you're not going to like this deal at all. But if you face [[reality]], which is what Hegseth and [[Trump]] and Company are doing, then it's obvious you have no choice here but to end the [[war]] on favorable terms, if you can so.
Again, I think the Hegseth speech, when you look at it, is a really quite remarkable document. The number of things that he says in very clear terms that are quite profound....quite explicit, are really amazing, and I think the [[Trump Administration]] will build on what Hegseth said. I think that's the foundation. I think they sent him out on purpose to make that set of arguments.}}
[[NATO]] has prepared for this war since its founding in 1949. There is no frozen conflict. You throw yourself on the mercy of the victor. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 22:09, February 16, 2025 (EST)
:So, in good faith, let's try to make [[User:Conservative]] a little more [[conversant]] in the [[language]] of [[geopolitics]], not using an obsolete and outdated quote of [[Mearsheimer]], but one made 6 or 7 weeks ago:
{{Cquote|'''the [[Trump Administration]] understands <u>we have lost. We have lost this war</u>.''' The tide has turned against [[Ukraine]] and [[the West]]. The problem is that huge numbers of people in [[the West]] don't understand that.}}
:Note: The quote has nothing to do with the declining power of [[Russia]], but everything to do with the declining power of the [[United States]], [[the West]], and [[Ukraine]].
:[[Geopolitics]]s is [[dynamic]], not [[static]] (active, always in motion, not standing at rest). This is the problem with [[User:Conservative]]'s [[brain]] - it is static. Not [[conversant]] in ongoing, active matters. Sure, he can write on various static subjects like [[ideology]] with clearly defined [[parameter]]s, but not on ongoing, ever changing [[news]] and events that require constant monitoring and analysis. Anything the various [[think tank]]s wrote about [[geopolitics]] in 2019 are now totally obsolete. And he doesn't understand the basic [[vocabulary]] of [[diplomacy]] and [[geopolitics]].
:I tried seriously discussing this with him, and got nowhere. That provided the inspiration for [[Are ignorance, stubbornness, and stupidity conservative values?]] It is his static brain, standing still, at rest, the defies the active motion of ongoing events, while holding stubbornness and [[ignorance]], [[stupid]]ly, in such high regard.
::The original inspiration for that Essay was entitled, "Are ignorance & stubbornness conservative values?", which he positively claimed they were (I think LT sat in on that phone conversation). The only disagreement we had was whether [[Andy Schlafly]] shared [[User:Conservative]]'s value of [[deliberate ignorance]] and [[stubbornness]], which he insisted he did. Later on, after more interaction and being [[maliciously trolled]], I had to add "stupidity" to the Essay, basically at [[User:Conservative]]'s insistence.
::And his constant [[spamming]] questionable, [[false]], [[neocon]], [[globalist]], pro-[[Biden]] [[foreign policy]], anti-[[Trump]] text and links into - not one place easy to correct - but dozens and dozens of articles, essays and mainspace is [[stupid]], not [[conservative]]. Not even [[liberal]]. Just [[stupid]]. It is up to Andy now to decide if he shares [[User:Conservative]]'s [[pride]] and the high esteem [[User:Conservative]] places on [[stupid]]ity as a [[conservative value]].
:Note: Now we are hearing the same [[crap]] out of [[London]] regarding [[Trump tariff]]s that the [[Biden]]/[[UK]] globalists said about [[Ukraine]]: they will fight Trump tariff's "as long as it takes" - another suicide mission.
