| − | {{quotebox-float|former [[Naftali Bennett|Israeli Prime Minister Bennett]] claimed in early 2023 that Putin promised him the year prior not to harm his Ukrainian counterpart, and he’s thus far kept his word in spite of Zelensky authorizing Putin’s attempted assassination at his residence in [[Valdai]] last December. For reasons that only [[Putin]] can account for if publicly asked about this or if he decides to share them on his own volition, he’s absolutely uninterested in authorizing Zelensky’s assassination. This is the objective [[political]] [[reality]]....
| |
| − | | |
| − | ...[[Trump]] reconciled with [[Zelensky]] after their public dispute early last year, subsequently reneged on his reported obligation to coerce him into withdrawing from [[Donbass]] in exchange for Putin declaring a [[ceasefire]] per the “[[Spirit of Anchorage]]”, and is now “escalating to de-escalate” with Russia. Far from being a liability, Zelensky is now viewed by Trump as an asset in his new “war of attrition” for coercing Putin into energy-related concessions after sensing weakness from him over the past year.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Therefore, at this point, Putin’s hypothetical authorization of Zelensky’s assassination wouldn’t change the dynamics of this conflict in a way that would advance Russia’s interests. '''Trump made up his mind to double down on using Ukraine as the US’ [[proxy]]''' for coercing [[strategic]] concessions from Russia, and '''he’d be enraged if Putin took his new friend out''', which could prompt him to radically [[escalate]] in revenge.}}

My own experience of [[Western]] [[sanctions]] matters here not as a personal grievance, but as evidence that the infrastructure of [[globalisation]] is [[political]]ly conditional. [[Asset]]s can be frozen; [[rights]] once considered [[inviolable]] dissolve the moment a political decision is taken.

| − | The systemic effect of sanctions proved broader than their original intent. '''Disconnection from global systems—financial, technological, legal, educational—confronted Russia’s creative class with a choice it had not anticipated: either full emigration with the severing of all ties, or a return to the question it had been avoiding for three decades: how to build its own world inside Russia, by its own rules, to its own standards.'''|||Andrey Melnichenko}}
