Dear Mr. President
As Ukrainian cities continue to be targeted by Russian army missiles and drones, bringing death and devastation to the civilian population, and as many Ukrainian soldiers continue to be exposed to the terrible gliding bombs dropped from Russian territory, we take the liberty of appealing to you.
JOIN US ON TELEGRAM
Follow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official.
We fully understand that, as President of the only country in the Western coalition able to provide a credible and persuasive response to any headlong rush by the Moscow regime, you have been careful since the beginning of the war to avoid any scenario that could lead to escalation.
In a few months’ time, it will be three years since the Russian invasion of Ukrainian territory unfolded on a large scale; it now seems clear to us that, for both military and political reasons, this worst-case scenario is no longer likely to bring any advantage whatsoever to the Moscow leadership. Quite the contrary.
As for the question of Russia’s future after its defeat in Ukraine, the current power structure leaves little room for doubt. The vertical power structure of the siloviki will be reorganized around those components of the politico-mafia system which were the first to understand that it was appropriate for them to put an end to the Putin experiment in order to save what can still be saved.
We do believe, however, that there is still a major risk of escalation, but that it has moved to Asia. Just as Mao waited for the Kuomintang to exhaust itself in its fight against Japanese troops before launching his Long March, Xi Jinping is waiting patiently for the Russian military apparatus to collapse.
Trump’s Team Considering Direct Talks with North Korea as Kim Strengthens Ties with Russia
From this point of view, then, any Western procrastination can only delay Russia’s inevitable defeat and at the same time strengthen the People’s Republic of China’s imperialist designs, not only with regard to Taiwan and the Philippines but also in the Russian Far East, particularly in the territories of Outer Manchuria annexed by Russia in the 19th century, the key to access to the Sea of Japan.
For these reasons, we believe that the legacy of leadership you have shown since the Russian invasion of 24 February 2022 would be tarnished if, in the final months of your Presidency, you did not reinvigorate the Western coalition by supporting the following measures:
– abolition of restrictions on the use by the Ukrainian army of Western weapons to neutralize military and logistical targets on Russian territory;
– supply, including with financial support from other Ramstein coalition countries, of 300 Abrams tanks and 1,000 decommissioned Bradley infantry fighting vehicles;
– creation within NATO, on the model of Cocom during the Cold War, of a structure responsible for controlling arms exports and dual technologies to Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Belarus and Azerbaijan;
– enlargement of NATO to include Japan, Australia, South Korea, the Philippines and any other democratic country that, like Argentina, expresses a wish to join.
Thanking you once again for your leadership, please accept, Mr. President, the expression of our highest consideration.
