Of course, the Ukraine war has strategic dimensions related to NATO and the broader geopolitical order. But at its core—and this has been aggressively suppressed by Western elites and the fake news—it is about long-standing tensions between Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking populations, or more broadly, between Western- and Eastern-oriented communities within Ukraine. It required a constant balancing act between these groups. That balance was ruined when Joe Biden and Victoria Nuland decided to overthrow the government in Kiev, after which the Ukrainian-speaking and Western-oriented side gained the upper hand. That shift was totally ruinous for the country, as is almost always the case when idiotic Western elites show up to “fix” things. Ultimately, there are only two options. Either attempt to restore the previous internal balance that existed before 2014—which now seems impossible given everything that has happened—or reorganize sovereignty along lines of language and cultural identity. This probably should have been the plan from the start but, unfortunately, Western elites are extremely allergic when it comes to the issue of rejigging sovereignty (except, of course, in Kosovo, where it was totally acceptable). x.com Tom
