What in your opinion is going to be how the war is going to end? Would the Russians withdraw her troops and allow Ukraine to remain a Defacto member of NATO and the EU ?
It is a matter of opinion on how the war in Ukraine might end. Let me offer my academic and scholarly view:
The U.S. being the world superpower is in a global conflict, Ukraine War is just one front out of that, which will only end when the stake holders from both clubs decide to conclude it. There is a need to recognize the scope of the challenge, ramping up arms production, and making other strategic decisions. The nuances of geopolitical imperatives attached to this conflict need to be understood along with the understanding of who is going to be the main beneficiary of the conflict. With winning or losing of Ukraine, who is going to be benefitted directly and indirectly. If the war aims are served well with the protracted campaign, be rest assured, it will be long drawn conflict. The geostrategic maneuvers are primarily an instrument of the geopolitical designs. Whatever is happening in Ukraine, has the linkage to the geopolitical designs.
Thanks
It will most probably and by a cease of fire, and another UN peacekeeping mission. Russia will not remove its troops, just like Turkiye did not in Cyprus, still illegally occupying its Northern part. Ukraine joining NATO, is a major "red flag" for Russia. Thus, it is not a probable perspective for Ukraine.
In my opinion, most likely, the war between Russia and Ukraine will end with the signing of a truce. A truce on terms satisfactory to Russia is equally likely, as is a truce on terms satisfactory to Ukraine. Ukraine's possible accession to the EU is a matter of several or a dozen years. As for Ukraine's accession to NATO, it is difficult to predict at the moment whether it will happen, because it will depend on what the new world order will look like.
The end of the war, the withdrawal of Russia and the membership of Ukraine in the EU and NATO depend on the available moral, human, financial, material, informational, etc. resources that both countries have today and will use in the future. Analysts of these potentials and abilities can give an approximate answer to the question posed.
In fact, the decisions of both countries and the policies of the leading and affected countries of the world community will determine future developments. If this does not happen in the foreseeable future, a situation of long-term crisis and conflict between East and West will be created, with unpredictable consequences for the world. We can only hope global sanity prevails!
First part of the question -
required-
Diplomacy and Dialogue:Encourage diplomatic negotiations between the involved parties.Facilitate talks through neutral intermediaries or international organizations.
International Mediation:Seek the involvement of international organizations or neutral countries to mediate the negotiations. Utilize diplomatic channels such as the United Nations or the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).
Ceasefire and De-escalation:Call for an immediate ceasefire to halt the ongoing hostilities.Establish mechanisms to monitor and enforce the ceasefire.
Humanitarian Assistance:Prioritize and coordinate humanitarian aid to address the immediate needs of affected populations. Create safe zones to facilitate the delivery of aid and protect civilians.
Peacekeeping Missions:Consider the deployment of international peacekeeping forces to help maintain stability and security in the region.
International Sanctions:Implement targeted sanctions to pressure conflicting parties to engage in meaningful negotiations. Adjust sanctions based on the progress of diplomatic efforts.
International Support for Diplomatic Solutions:Garner international support for diplomatic solutions and condemn actions that hinder peaceful resolution.
Address Root Causes:Identify and address the underlying issues and grievances that led to the conflict.Explore political, economic, and social solutions to address the concerns of all parties involved.
Regional Involvement:Engage neighboring countries and regional powers to contribute to a comprehensive solution. Address regional concerns and potential spillover effects.
Public Diplomacy:Encourage public diplomacy efforts to build understanding and support for peaceful resolution among the populations involved.
Absent a change in US and NATO policy, this war is not going to end before the fall of the Putin regime. That might happen after Putin dies - which seems to be likely in the near to medium term - or if the military decides to
end his regime.
On the Ukrainian-Russian front line (over 1,500 km), the Ukrainians destroyed: 1) more than 338,000 experienced Russian soldiers and officers, 2) 224 military aircraft and 224 helicopters, 3) 5,632 tanks, 4) 10,519 armored infantry vehicles, 5) 8,058 powerful artillery units, 6) 605 powerful air defense complexes (air defense), 7) 919 salvo artillery systems (Grad type), 8) 22 naval ships and boats (including the flagship of the Russian fleet "Moscow" and 1 submarine, 9) 6,136 unmanned aerial vehicles.
Perhaps you do not know some facts about Ukraine and Ukrainians. Ukraine produces its own weapons, and not only requests them from partners. Previously, Ukraine built space rockets for the Soviet Union and created many other weapons. (https://www.imena.ua/blog/ukrainians-in-science/ ) Ukrainians simply did not expect such an insidious attack by Russia. But Ukrainian military firms are gradually beginning to adapt to the conditions of war and their engineers are developing new weapons of their own.
Ukrainians have plans for the future of Ukraine. 1) Destroy Putin's army in Ukraine with the help of weapons (own weapons and those provided by partners by EU and NATO members. 2) Will Join the EU. 3) Will Join NATO and in the future defend Europe against any aggression from the east. 4) After the fulfillment of these points (or maybe even after the fulfillment of point 1), Russia will cease to exist in the form it is now. This will free the world from a potential threat from her. But the collapse of Russia will be a tragedy for many Western, Eastern and Southern politicians, governments, media editors, journalists, various "armies of liberation from something from something", researchers and many other people who have been so long and generously financed by Russia with its billions of petro-dollars. That is why they do not want to allow the collapse of this "stupid gas station" with its crazy ruler.
Therefore, I am sure that the Ukrainians will protect their country from the aggressor and liberate the occupied territories within the horizon of 1-2 years. And for Russia, "dark times" will come. But Ukrainians will no longer care about it.

Ukraine's message to EU countries - "If you don't help us now with weapons, sooner or later your children will fight with Russia."
Russia's only high-precision weapon is Russian propaganda, which destroys the brain of everyone, even those who do not have it.
Volker Türk, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
"...It has been 662 days since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. My Office continues to undertake extensive monitoring and documentation by our Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU), based on the rigorous, and tried and tested, methodology we have developed over decades. This documentation continues to indicate gross violations of international human rights law, serious violations of international humanitarian law, and war crimes, primarily by the forces of the Russian Federation.
They include 142 cases of summary execution of civilians since February 2022, in territory controlled by Russian armed forces or occupied by the Russian Federation. On occupied territory, we have documented widespread torture and ill-treatment of detainees, including sexual violence, as well as large numbers of enforced disappearances..."
"...As of 4 December, my Office has recorded and confirmed over 10,000 civilian deaths resulting from the conflict since February 2022, including more than 560 children. A further 18,500 civilians have been confirmed injured, many of them severely. The true toll is probably substantially higher..." https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements-and-speeches/2023/12/russia-should-immediately-cease-its-use-force-against-ukraine-turk

Previous Statement: "To War or not To War, That's the Question to Ask NATO"; i.e. “To conquer without peril; to triumph without glory”, an old French Adage says: (Own Translation). In this Vein, the paper by Klinke, I. 2023, "Of tanks and tankies: What's ‘left’ for geography after the invasion of Ukraine. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 48(4), 811-815" asks among other essential questions: "Why is the plight of the Ukrainians framed in such different ways to that of the Palestinians and why is it more controversial to understand the Israeli occupation as colonial?" and affirms that "The answer surely has to do with a larger and often unspoken geopolitics that whataboutery can help to uncover". The author concludes "...the ethics of Western military support for Kyiv remains tied up with events on the battlefield, the degree of further escalation, and, ultimately, the outcome of the war. It is with an eye on this strategic and moral terrain that we should reflect on the lessons of this war for the geography of war itself. There are still, it should be said, good reasons to be a NATO sceptic. But such scepticism has to be delivered with the necessary nuance, even ambivalence, reflecting the fact that the current war is both a proxy war and a war of liberation." Read on:

In The Same Vein. Cynicism and the height of hypocrisy is that people from where they are, risking absolutely nothing for themselves or their offspring and not suffering the pangs of war decide or think of what is good or bad for others. Why do the countries that want to fight against the Russian empire not go to war and strive to invent all kinds of subterfuge, so that they could not be qualified as co-belligerents? Do they want to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian? And waiting for the intervention of the West, if only to promote to Ukraine the principle of its membership in NATO, the ordeal of the Ukrainians, and the martyrdom of Ukraine are continuing. In this regard, "Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Tuesday that the head of NATO shows that the alliance wants to wage war when it opposes the "freezing" of the conflict in Ukraine. "If NATO, through the mouth of (Secretary-General Jens) Stoltenberg, once again declares that they are against freezing, as they put it, of the conflict in Ukraine, so it means they want to wage war. Well, let them wage war!" he said at a news conference in Minsk".

Merry Christmas to All Colleagues and Hope for Better Tomorrows for Humanity. Thoughts and compassion for the innocent victims of armed conflicts in Ukraine Palestine and everywhere else.
Open letter from the Palestinian Patriarch "from https://groupegaullistesceaux.fr/ (Own Translation from French)": Michel Sabbah, the former Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, addressed the global public from the birthplace of Christ in Beit Lahm, through the "Palestine 100 Initiative" platform, for this year's Christmas. In a message dedicated to war-fallen Gaza, the Patriarch said, "Christmas this year, in Beit Lahm and all over the world, is a prayer to God Almighty, to stop the war in Gaza and all of Palestine. During these days, many direct their eyes and hearts to Beit Lahm, but only an hour away, they see the war in Gaza, where humans are buried beneath the rubble of their own homes, they see children beneath the rubble, they see humanity beneath the rubble."
He regarded the war as a genocide of Palestinians, adding that Palestinians and Christians witnessing the genocide during these specific times, "must recognize that Christmas this year should not be restricted to Beit Lahm solely but must traverse to every oppressed human, particularly on the Holy Land, and it makes its way to Gaza and all of Palestine, where death reigns supreme". The patriarch called for an end to the aggressive genocide in Gaza, calling on Christians around the world to support and defend the Palestinian cause. “Gaza deserves liberation, independence and peace,” the patriarch said, adding that the root causes of war and occupation must be investigated, as Gaza and Palestine have a long history of war.
Merry Christmas to all Christians! I give everyone this Ukrainian folk song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqeJ38DThVc In 1919, this song was brought to the USA by the Ukrainian composer M. Leontovych with the Ukrainian folk choir. And in 1921, the Russians treacherously killed him. But now it is one of the most favorite songs of Christians all over the world. This is how it sounds now.

Previous Statement: "To War or not To War, That's the Question to Ask NATO"; Any other talk is just cynicism: a NATO Hybrid War, down to the last Ukrainian. i.e. “To conquer without peril; to triumph without glory”, Says An Old French Adage. (Own Translation). The Kyiv Independent (15 Hours Ago), UK defense minister warns of 'severe consequences' if Putin wins war in Ukraine. "U.K. Defense Minister Grant Shapps has told the Sunday Times in a Dec. 24 interview that the West "cannot afford" to lose the war in Ukraine and that there would be "severe consequences" if Russian dictator Vladimir Putin wins. "If we allow Putin to win this war by dragging it out, and he somehow wins it by exhausting everyone else, then we will suffer the consequences. And the consequences would be incredibly severe for Europe, for Britain, for the world," Shapps said, as quoted by the media. "And the reason I say that is because we know what happens when dictators march across Europe. We know what happens when others look at a weakness or what they perceive to be a weakness, and that could have implications in the Indo-Pacific or elsewhere," he said. "So we literally can not afford not to win this war..."

This is not a matter for NATO. This is a question for Putin. If NATO stops supplying weapons to Ukraine for self-defense or if Ukraine stops defending itself, Ukraine will disappear. To end this senseless war, it is ENOUGH for Putin to simply withdraw his troops from Ukraine. What is unclear here? Everything else is just Russian propaganda!
I am posting the following reply on another thread "https://www.researchgate.net/post/Russia_and_Ukraine_are_two_BROTHER_republics_of_the_USSR_What_are_they_now_and_what_will_happen_to_them_in_the_future/260 (page 260)": @*** reported "ISW: The Russian Federation has created new regiments to strengthen the occupation of the Donetsk region... ". This is why the West must stop its hypocritical narrative and equip itself with Honesty to admit that the question is none other than what I mentioned in my Previous Statement: "To War or not To War, That's the Question to Ask NATO"; Any other talk is just cynicism: a NATO Hybrid War, down to the last Ukrainian. i.e. “To conquer without peril; to triumph without glory”, Says An Old French Adage.

Speaking of Occupied Territories (in the West Bank and Gaza “Occupied Palestinian Territories” (OPT), in the Donetsk region. or wherever they are). As such and under International Law, the protection of civilians in occupied territories is the responsibility of the occupier. According to the same international law, populations in occupied territories have the Right to Return.
In this regard, one may read within the study of the Australian Institute of International Affairs, 16 AUG 2023, "Occupied Palestinian Territories and Illegal Israeli Settlements," by Professor Gregory Rose. What are the “Occupied Palestinian Territories” (OPT), and why are Israeli settlements there illegal? Legal answers to these questions are surprisingly elusive; comparative analysis of Israeli and Palestinian claims in the West Bank reveals competing bases for legal title. On Tuesday 8 August 2023, the Australian government announced that it will refer to the West Bank and Gaza as “Occupied Palestinian Territories” (OPT) and to Israeli civilian residences there as “illegal settlements.” [1]. This Australian government's position conforms to the position taken by a majority of UN members. It was condemned by Australia’s Jewish community and triggered controversy in the mainstream press... The author came to the conclusion that "Australia’s political change of legal rhetoric on Israel is a case study of the interplay between international politics and international laws. It exemplifies the declining relevance of fundamental rules of international law, as they become more frequently diminished by and subordinated to the supreme power of political alliances that can dominate majority voting in UN institutions."

The Kremlin is already and will likely continue to exploit the Hamas attacks in Israel to advance several information operations intended to reduce US and Western support and attention to Ukraine. The Kremlin amplified several information operations following Hamas attacks in Israel on October 7, primarily blaming the West for neglecting conflicts in the Middle East in favor of supporting Ukraine and claiming the international community will cease to pay attention to Ukraine by portraying attention to the Middle East or alternatively Ukraine as a zero-sum comparison. Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev claimed the United States and its allies should have been “busy with” working on “Palestinian-Israeli settlement” rather than “interfering” with Russia and providing Ukraine with military aid.[1] The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) accused the West of blocking efforts by a necessary “quartet” of Russia, the US, the European Union, and the United Nations, leading to an escalation in violence, implicitly blaming the West for the current fighting.[2] Prominent Russian propagandist Sergei Mardan directly stated that Russia will benefit from the escalation as the world “will take its mind off Ukraine for a while and get busy once again putting out the eternal fire in the Middle East.”[3] These Kremlin narratives target Western audiences to drive a wedge in military support for Ukraine, seek to demoralize Ukrainian society by claiming Ukraine will lose international support, and intend to reassure Russian domestic audiences that the international society will ignore Ukraine’s war effort. https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-october-7-2023

Speaking of Hamas. I am posting the following reply on another thread "https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_does_it_mean_to_be_objective_in_the_Israel-Hamas_war "Page 80)": @*** wrote "Sinuar broke the silence for the first time: “We destroyed the occupying invading army”... Hamas leaders in Qatar now appear to be quite moderate because they and say frankly: “We want the war to end.” Sinuar... believes that the war is not over yet, and thinks exclusively in terms of war"..". So there are many "Hamases". At least two: the one in Gaza and the other in Qatar; both are still alive and not at all eradicated.
Subsidiary Question 1: Who is being killed by IDF's terrible war on Gaza? IMHO the IDF's War is first and foremost on the civilian population of Gaza including adolescent victims, girls, and children, babies, newborns, born on time or prematurely, embryos not yet born; killed, injured, or deported.
Subsidiary Question 2: Should we understand that the Civilian Population of Gaza is the Third Hamas? IMHO, we have to admit it, Otherwise, and as I mentioned before, Frederik van Gelder would have to modify the Title of the Discussion.
In the same Vein. We have been hearing about the "Israel-Hamas War". To be objective, it is appropriate to talk about the "Israel-Palestine Conflict" instead. The reason is simple; Hamas is not in control in the West Bank and yet, this is not spared from Military and Armed Settlers Attacks. In this regard, the paper by Gabriel Mott (Institute for Civics and Public Policy, Ohio Northern University) “Israel-Palestine Conflict", (published on November 16, 2023, DigitalCommons@ONU), is particularly interesting to read. It highlights the major issues of the conflict, its history and progression, and identifies its key actors. The paper also tries to provide reasonable predictions about the future of the conflict in Palestine and the Middle East in general. The author recommends as a conclusion (quote) "We encourage you to consider multiple perspectives and draw your own conclusions about the best resolution of the conflict. If you want to know more, read the news from reliable sources. If you can, try to find verified claims from multiple independent media outlets and relate what you find to your knowledge of the history and context of the conflict."

Nearly two millennia ago Marcus Aurelius said: “May the force be given to me to endure what cannot be changed and the courage to change what can be, but also the wisdom to distinguish one from the other." (Own translation [1]). In his immense wisdom, Pope Francis had the force and courage to Tell the Truth and Denounce the Imposture: In an interview published in May 2022 [2], he described the “barking of NATO at Russia's door” as one of "the triggers for Putin's wrath...."; And now, In his Christmas message [3], Pope Francis is saying: "that children dying in wars, including in Gaza, are the "little Jesuses of today" and that Israeli strikes there were reaping an "appalling harvest" of innocent civilians.

Ukrainians destroyed another one of a Russian warship in the Ukrainian Crimea. During the week, 4 Russcist (from Russia+fascist) bomber planes were also destroyed. Thus, Ukraine weakens the aggressor, protecting Europe from a possible Russian invasion. This is why we need western weapons. https://twitter.com/ukrpravda_news/status/1739605180683805139
According to the British minister, the destruction of the ship of the Black Sea Fleet "demonstrates that those who believe that the war in Ukraine has reached a dead end are wrong!" "They didn't notice that 20% of Russia's Black Sea Fleet was destroyed in the last 4 months," he added. "Russia's dominance in the Black Sea is now under threat, and a new coalition of naval forces led by Great Britain and Norway is helping to ensure Ukraine's victory at sea," concluded Shapps.

In the Same Vein. As I previously mentioned, the core issue is to ask NATO: To War or Not To War, That's The Question! And for a good reason: Get to Text, 27 December 2023. (Reuters), "President Volodimir Zelensky said last week that the army had proposed mobilizing an additional 450,000 to 500,000 personnel. Valery Zaluzhny said on Tuesday that this number was not a proposal from the army and that it was a project to be implemented gradually.He added that he would never have revealed this number publicly, a comment likely to fuel rumors about political tensions with Volodimir Zelensky. Despite the little progress made by Ukrainian troops since the launch last June of a counter-offensive intended to retake territories controlled by the Russian army, Valery Zaluzhny remains extremely popular with Ukrainians for having repelled the The Russian attack on Kyiv at the start of the conflict then orchestrated two successful counter-offensives in the fall of 2022.
Tensions between the chief of staff and the president came to light in November, when Valery Zaluzhny reported that the war was heading towards a stalemate due to the technological situation on the battlefield. . This was followed by a reprimand from the presidency in Kyiv. Volodimir Zelensky and his allies continue to paint a less gloomy horizon for the war, repeating that Ukraine has the means to repel Russian troops and will succeed in doing so to recover every centimeter occupied since the start of the invasion. “I was criticized a lot for these comments, but over time people will realize that I was completely right,” said Valeri Zaluzhny, also indicating that Ukraine and its allies have identified the responses to be made to the majority of the problems he raised last month."

Jamel Chahed! You can't "glow" like that because the Russians will not pay money to you. You provide information from a site whose team consists of 3 people. Carefully read the manual, developed by the FSB! FALSE is written in those articles, it is a Russian information war against Ukraine. The task of this information war is to spread distrust of Ukraine and its military and political leaders.
Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenko "..After all surreal subterfuges you used to explain your imposture, it is clear that what you said means: "it is indecent to compare deaths of Gazan women and children to deaths of Ukrainian women and children." QED. What a Pity and Shame. Let's stick to that." So Please "de Grâce" Don't call me out, Don't address me anymore, and Forget even my Name.

Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenkov: (P 237) Vlayslav Honcharenko wrote, "Gazan deaths of women and children in the last two months is twice as high as Ukraine in the last two years". I am sure that a decent person with moral values and empathy would never write such a comparison (unless he is a Russian)". Dr Rashad Seedeen, wrote that in an outstanding article [1]. I would be careful not to make any value judgments about Dr Rashad Seedeen or anyone else. But please explain: why it is indecent to compare the number of deaths in wars of armies aggressions against civilians. Looking forward to reading your explanation.

Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenkov: (P 238) Vladyslav Honcharenko wrote "Russians buy not only publications, but also various "studies" from not quite decent researchers". I asked you: But please explain: why it is indecent to compare the number of deaths in wars of armies aggressions against civilians? Do you find that your reply responds to the question asked? Please try again to explain: why it is indecent to compare the number of deaths in wars of armies aggressions against civilians?
Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenkov: (P 239) Vladyslav Honcharenko wrote, "The fundamental difference between the situation in Gaza and Ukraine is the nature of the war." Who spoke of the nature of the war? of terrorism? of Islamism? of Neo-Nazism? or of other subterfuges? The question was about the innocent civilian population's Martyrdom in Ukraine and Palestine: "why it is indecent to compare the number of deaths in wars of armies aggressions against civilians?" So please think about it once again and come up with an honest answer, Otherwise let's stick to that.
Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenkov: (P 239) Vladyslav Honcharenko Off Topic and Out of Context. Who spoke about Ukrain Russia Israel Or Palestine History or War Contexts? The question was about the innocent civilian population suffering the horrors of wars whatever they are. You Declared "Gazan deaths of women and children in the last two months is twice as high as Ukraine in the last two years". I am sure that a decent person with moral values and empathy would never write such a comparison (unless he is a Russian)" I am not Russian and the Paper I mentioned is From Australia. Hence my question: "Why it is indecent to compare the number of deaths in wars of armies aggressions against civilians?" So please, once again, think about it and come up with a Direct Honest answer: How Gazan deaths of women and children are different from Ukrainian deaths of women and children? Otherwise, let's stick to that.
Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenkov: (P 239) Vladyslav Honcharenko wrote "Women and children in Gaza suffer for the ACTIONS (aggression) or inaction (failure to fight aggression) of their warlike men" What are you saying? We are speaking of Women and Children. These are innocent Civilians who deserve only Protection. Can you say that the women and children of the Bucha region were massacred because the ACTION of the Azof Neo-Nazis who committed attacks against the Russian-speaking population in Southern Ukraine? Or INACTION because women and children of the Bucha region were unable to prevent the Azof Neo-Nazis to do so? So please, once again, think about it and come up with a Direct Honest answer: Why it is indecent to compare the number of deaths in wars of armies aggressions against civilians?" How Gazan deaths of women and children are different from Ukrainian deaths of women and children? Otherwise, let's stick to that.

As I previously mentioned, the core issue is to ask NATO: To War or Not To War, That's The Question! And for a good reason: New York Times, Dec. 28, 2023, Russia Retakes Some Land Hard Won by Ukraine During Counteroffensive. Russia’s recent progress around the southern village of Robotyne is a sobering development for Ukraine amid dwindling Western military aid. By Constant Méheut, Reporting from Kyiv, Ukraine. "Russia has recaptured land hard won by Ukrainian troops at the peak of their summer counteroffensive in the south, making progress around the southern village of Robotyne. The situation has reinforced the war’s latest reality: With their counteroffensive stalled, Ukrainian troops are now on the back foot in many places. Besides Robotyne in the south, they are also struggling in the east, having all but retreated from the town of Marinka, officials said this week.
Deepening their challenges, Kyiv is increasingly worried that its military will not have the resources to keep up the fight. Washington announced on Wednesday that it was releasing the last remaining Congress-approved package of military aid available to Kyiv..."

To: Jamel Chahed. Great work! You concentrated all your manipulations in one post. Now do the same with all my answers (complete, not sentences taken out of context). You identify as a scientist! So behave in discussions like a scientist, not like an internet troll. I wrote to you about the causal relationship and the different nature of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine (p.p.236-242). You stubbornly do not want to see this. But you come up with your own interpretation of my phrases and try to manipulate them like an Internet troll. By the way, this is one of the favorite techniques of Russian propaganda, which Ukrainians have learned well to detect over so many years.
Unfortunately, other nations have not progressed so far in this direction. For information - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(slang). (not only you know the "Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V" technique).

Therefore, I apologize to him as well. 4) As I already wrote to you, I sympathize with the women and children of Gaza, not only for them but also for all PEACEFUL residents.

This misunderstanding did not allow us to become friends, at least to have pleasant memories of our communication. And now I calmly and with a clear conscience begin to fulfill your request "Please "de Grâce" Don't call me out, Don't address me anymore, and Forget even my Name". I hope you now understand the difference between Ukrainians and Russians. And that we are not one nation. And that's why the Russians call us "Nazis" or "neo-Nazis".

When we stop talking with the other. "Currently, it seems as if it is increasingly difficult for people to talk with each other. Not necessarily with your relatives or other people that you tend to agree with. No, what is referred to is the conversation with other people, with whom you may have a touch of tension, because you may not fully agree with these people... If we take it to a broader scale, our news are filled with pictures from Gaza where it is difficult to see that the two parties are interested in any form of negotiation, leaving two populations victimised. Or the now more or less forgotten war in Ukraine, that for the last year has been frozen in a warfare tactic that we thought was buried with the millions of young men, whose lives were sacrified in northern France during the first world war more than one hundred years ago. History seems to repeat itself because we have no intentions in talking with the other... Talking with each other is important. Being interested in each other is important. But it requires that we put ourselves in play, and thereby at risk. Involving with the other gives you the chance to learn from the other, but it also implies that we may have to revise our perception of our reality, and therefore act differently than what we used to do. This indicates that if our intent is to engage with the other with the purpose of understanding the other, then it requires more than just to begin talking. We have to talk with each other, not just talk to each other..."

"...Talking to each other is important..." I agree with this thesis. But there are cases when it does not work and other methods are needed. For example, I wonder how the author of these words would talk to a crocodile, being in the same cage with him? (especially if his head would be in the open mouth of a crocodile). This is my question to all supporters of negotiations with Putin. Russia's only high-precision weapon is Russian propaganda, which destroys the brain of everyone, even those who do not have it.
Nearly two millennia ago Marcus Aurelius said: “May the force be given to me to endure what cannot be changed and the courage to change what can be, but also the wisdom to distinguish one from the other." (Own translation [1]). In his immense wisdom, Pope Francis had the force and courage to Tell the Truth and Denounce the Imposture: In an interview published in May 2022 [2], he described the “barking of NATO at Russia's door” as one of "the triggers for Putin's wrath...."; And now, In his Christmas message [3], Pope Francis is saying: "that children dying in wars, including in Gaza, are the "little Jesuses of today" and that Israeli strikes there were reaping an "appalling harvest" of innocent civilians.
Comment 1: History will note, for millennia to come, that the Words of His Holiness Pope Francis are the expression of an unshakeable Agapè
Comment 2: Situations today are the result of past decisions. Future situations of war or peace will be the result of today's decisions. "Those who don't remember history are condemned to repeat it" Said, George Orwell".

Jamel Chahed constantly repeats Russian propaganda (" I Previously wrote: To War or Not To War, That's The Question to Ask NATO!..." ). I claim -Russia's only high-precision weapon is Russian propaganda, which destroys the brain of everyone, even those who do not have it. I emphasize Ukrainians have been defending their country against Russia's attack for 2 years. Who could believe it before? Ukrainians stopped the army, which was feared by the whole world. In the last 8 months, this "second army in the world" advanced 3 kilometers in Ukraine and victoriously captured a small town (Marinka), which had 10,000 inhabitants before the war. Who could imagine such a thing? And we will continue to do it, because otherwise, Russia will commit genocide against the Ukrainian nation. And we are grateful to NATO for helping us with weapons to protect our sovereignty! If the Ukrainians stop shooting, the Ukrainian nation will disappear. If the Russians stop shooting, the war will end. What is unclear here?

I Previously wrote: To War or Not To War, That's The Question to Ask NATO! Because, in front of the Russian war machine, infernal and implacable, it is nonsense and cynically hypocritical to say to Ukrainians: I'm with you and helping you to defend Ukraine to the end, to the last Ukrainian, if necessary. The New American, December 29, 2023, by Angeline Tan, U.S. Launches Final Ukraine Aid Package. "On December 27, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that his country will offer Ukraine an additional $250 million in military aid... Lawmakers have already left Washington for the Christmas holidays, after having been unsuccessful in authorizing $60 billion in Ukraine aid requested by President Joe Biden in October... Furthermore, the secretary of Ukraine’s parliamentary national security committee, Roman Kostenko, admitted that the Ukrainian military needs 500,000 new conscripts to cover casualties and man newly established units for the next 12 months... Kostenko bemoaned that his compatriots “thought that we would win soon,” which inculcated the belief in Ukrainians that “they could live quietly [and] not prepare for mobilization.” “And now the words about an additional 450,000-500,000 mobilized have become a cold shower for everyone,” the lawmaker said. He elaborated that the figure roughly mirrors the armed forces’ needs in terms of replenishing “sanitary losses during the year” as well as creating new units. The military, according to Kostenko, must plan years ahead as the conflict “can … drag on for a long time.”..."

I emphasize Ukrainians have been defending their country against Russia's attack for 2 years. Who could believe it before? Ukrainians stopped the army, which was feared by the whole world. In the last 8 months, this "second army in the world" advanced 3 kilometers in Ukraine and victoriously captured a small town (Marinka), which had 10,000 inhabitants before the war. Who could imagine such a thing? And we will continue to do it, because otherwise, Russia will commit genocide against the Ukrainian nation. And we are grateful to NATO for helping us with weapons to protect our sovereignty! If the Ukrainians stop shooting, the Ukrainian nation will disappear. If the Russians stop shooting, the war will end. What is unclear here?
Vladyslav Honcharenko, Please, "De grâce!", if you have "any dignity", a "minimum of decency" and/or "a hint of pride" don't address my person anymore, don't mention me, and forget even my name. Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenko "..After all surreal subterfuges you used to explain your imposture, it is clear that what you said means: "it is indecent to compare deaths of Gazan women and children to deaths of Ukrainian women and children."

Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenkov: (P 237) Vlayslav Honcharenko wrote, "Gazan deaths of women and children in the last two months is twice as high as Ukraine in the last two years". I am sure that a decent person with moral values and empathy would never write such a comparison (unless he is a Russian)". Dr Rashad Seedeen, wrote that in an outstanding article [1]. I would be careful not to make any value judgments about Dr Rashad Seedeen or anyone else. But please explain: why it is indecent to compare the number of deaths in wars of armies aggressions against civilians. Looking forward to reading your explanation.

But I have the RIGHT to comment on YOUR post. Isn't that right? And one more point. Why did you start more than 100 of your posts with the same phrase :To War or Not To War, That's The Question to Ask NATO!"? You get the impression that you were paid for it, as trolls are paid for promoting some idea. This is the Russian method of zombification of the population. Don't do that here (let's just keep the news without that zombie phrase) and I won't react like that to your posts.
Jamel Chahed. I have dignity, decency, and pride definitely no less than you. I am convinced that manipulations and Russian lies and propaganda must be fought. You spread it. I'm trying to keep this from spreading, not fight against you. And I will continue to do so until you stop spreading various fakes. Well, let's continue... "Dear colleagues!

I have already replied to this post of yours 17 times. I give it for the 18th time. And I will do it every time you delete your message and move it forward. I am no less patient than you are stubborn.
To: Jamel Chahed. Great work! You concentrated all your manipulations in one post. Now do the same with all my answers (complete, not sentences taken out of context). You identify as a scientist! So behave in discussions like a scientist, not like an internet troll. I wrote to you about the causal relationship and the different nature of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine (p.p.236-242). You stubbornly do not want to see this. But you come up with your own interpretation of my phrases and try to manipulate them like an Internet troll.

You made the right decision! If I were Russian, I would buy vodka, call my friends and drink for 3 days and brag to them about my victory and laugh at you. But I am Ukrainian.

And that deserves respect. 2) I want to apologize to you for the emotional and perhaps too sharp reaction to the comparison of the war in Gaza and Ukraine and some of your messages. 3) I did not want to offend the author of that article. I don't know him. Maybe he is a good person. And maybe he did not attach much importance to his phrases as I perceived them. Therefore, I apologize to him as well. 4) As I already wrote to you, I sympathize with the women and children of Gaza, not only for them but also for all PEACEFUL residents. My position is this: peaceful people should not die violent deaths. 5) And finally. I am really sorry for our conflict. This misunderstanding did not allow us to become friends, at least to have pleasant memories of our communication. And now I calmly and with a clear conscience begin to fulfill your request "Please "de Grâce" Don't call me out, Don't address me anymore, and Forget even my Name". I hope you now understand the difference between Ukrainians and Russians. And that we are not one nation. And that's why the Russians call us "Nazis" or "neo-Nazis".

Le Monde, Dec. 31, 2023, by Jean-Pierre Filiu (Professeur des universités à Sciences Po), Le destin de l’Europe en 2024 se jouera à Gaza (The destiny of Europe in 2024 will be decided in Gaza, Own Translation). Benjamin Netanyahu and Vladimir Putin, who are banking on the return of Donald Trump to the White House, will do everything to prolong the war in Gaza, which would be disastrous for the European Union, both in the Middle East and in Ukraine. "The historian knows from experience how opinions gradually adapt to conflicts that develop over time. It is no less disturbing to note that the war in Gaza has become trivialized even more quickly than that in Ukraine The losses in Ukraine are, however, much more military than civilian, while the milestone of one percent of the population killed is about to be crossed in Gaza. Such a dizzying figure would represent 650,000 on the scale of France dead, including 250,000 children, as well as millions of wounded, mutilated, traumatized and orphans..."

As things stand, it is worth remembering that the “Nagging Issue”, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is: "To War or not To War, That's the Question to ask NATO"; and for a good reason. The Telegraph (8 hrs), 2024 will be a critical year for the West and the world "The new year dawns with the West being drawn in the direction that every diplomatic sinew has been straining to avoid – direct conflict with either Russia or Iran, or both. The relentless Russian air and missile attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine seem designed to demoralise its people just as the West is cooling in its support almost two years after the invasion...As the West’s promise to back Ukraine “for as long as it takes” begins to fray at the edges, Putin will sense that his earlier calculation of waning interest abroad is beginning to show dividends. Sanctions have not brought Russia to its knees nor triggered a coup. Will 2024 see Nato back away further, especially in a US election year?
Matters are complicated by the spreading war in the Middle East. The West has been desperate to see this confined to an Israeli-Hamas fight, but the longer it goes on, with untold suffering in Gaza, the greater the likelihood that it will spread... The diplomatic and military conundrum at the start of this year, therefore, is whether it will be possible to continue taking a stand against Russia and Iran without triggering a direct conflict with either or both. As a nuclear power, Russia will persist in making dark threats about the consequences of Western involvement... The world is potentially facing its most critical year since the end of the Cold War and arguably since 1945. The autocrats must be faced down or the outlook is bleak indeed."

Jamel Chahed. I have dignity, decency, and pride definitely no less than you. I am convinced that manipulations and Russian lies and propaganda must be fought. You spread it. I'm trying to keep this from spreading, not fight against you. And I will continue to do so until you stop spreading various fakes. Well, let's continue... "Dear colleagues! I am sorry that Jamel Chahed brought you this garbage again. (his message "Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenko" ). But soon he will remove it from here and move it forward And will do so constantly. He did this in this topic before. I always answered thus to this message of his -
To: Jamel Chahed. Are you really a scientist? If so, why are you acting like a clown? After each of my answers, you have already deleted and then moved forward your message 17 times, which began like this -
"Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenko:(P 237) "..After all surreal subterfuges you used to explain your imposture, it is clear that what you said..."
I have already replied to this post of yours 17 times. I give it for the 18th time. And I will do it every time you delete your message and move it forward. I am no less patient than you are stubborn.
To: Jamel Chahed. Great work! You concentrated all your manipulations in one post. Now do the same with all my answers (complete, not sentences taken out of context). You identify as a scientist! So behave in discussions like a scientist, not like an internet troll. I wrote to you about the causal relationship and the different nature of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine (p.p.236-242). You stubbornly do not want to see this. But you come up with your own interpretation of my phrases and try to manipulate them like an Internet troll. By the way, this is one of the favorite techniques of Russian propaganda, which Ukrainians have learned well to detect over so many years.
Unfortunately, other nations have not progressed so far in this direction. For information - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(slang). (not only you know the "Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V" technique).
I want to note that during this clowning he wrote to me "Go ahead: Post it one last time." And You Did It: Bravo! Now: Please "de Grâce" Don't call me out, Don't address me anymore, and Forget even my Name." I took this as a suggestion to stop this trash and followed it up by writing a post with the following content -
"Before I grant your request I want to tell you the following.
You made the right decision! If I were Russian, I would buy vodka, call my friends and drink for 3 days and brag to them about my victory and laugh at you. But I am Ukrainian. I am a descendant of a great nation that has lived on the banks of the Dnipro River for over 2,000 years. Therefore, I will tell you the following: 1) You have acted very wisely. And that deserves respect. 2) I want to apologize to you for the emotional and perhaps too sharp reaction to the comparison of the war in Gaza and Ukraine and some of your messages. 3) I did not want to offend the author of that article. I don't know him. Maybe he is a good person. And maybe he did not attach much importance to his phrases as I perceived them. Therefore, I apologize to him as well. 4) As I already wrote to you, I sympathize with the women and children of Gaza, not only for them but also for all PEACEFUL residents. My position is this: peaceful people should not die violent deaths. 5) And finally. I am really sorry for our conflict. This misunderstanding did not allow us to become friends, at least to have pleasant memories of our communication. And now I calmly and with a clear conscience begin to fulfill your request "Please "de Grâce" Don't call me out, Don't address me anymore, and Forget even my Name". I hope you now understand the difference between Ukrainians and Russians. And that we are not one nation. And that's why the Russians call us "Nazis" or "neo-Nazis". Because Ukrainians always emphasize that they have little in common with Russians."
But I was wrong, because I thought that Jamel Chahed have no problems with adequacy. Now I'm not sure about it".

Truthout (1 hour ago), Israeli Ministers’ Comments About Mass Evictions in Gaza Alarm Observers. The remarks follow Netanyahu reportedly saying that he wants “voluntary migration” of Palestinians from Gaza. "..A document from the Israeli Intelligence Ministry that leaked during the early stages of Israel’s latest attack on Gaza proposes the forcible and permanent transfer of all of Gaza’s 2.2 million Palestinian residents to Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula. The Egyptian government has publicly opposed the forced transfer of Palestinians, which would be a war crime.
In recent days, United Nations officials and humanitarian groups have been increasingly vocal in warning about the Israeli government’s apparent desire to force Palestinians out of Gaza, where around 70% of housing units have been damaged or destroyed by Israeli bombing since October 7. Late last month, the U.N.’s special rapporteur on the human rights of internally displaced persons said that “as evacuation orders and military operations continue to expand and civilians are subjected to relentless attacks on a daily basis, the only logical conclusion is that Israel’s military operation in Gaza aims to deport the majority of the civilian population en masse.” Smotrich and Ben-Gvir’s remarks intensified such warnings. “Anyone defending or denying the clear motivations of Israel’s political leaders is actively enabling the ethnic cleansing and mass murder of Palestinians in Gaza,” Em Hilton, a Jewish anti-occupation activist, wrote on social media. “We have a duty to do everything we can to stop this horror and ensure that [the international] community holds Israel to account.” Ariel Bernstein, a researcher for the Israeli group Breaking the Silence, echoed that message, writing, “This government must be stopped now, their aim is simple: to wipe out the Gazan population.” Journalist Mehdi Hasan, whose MSNBC show was recently canceled, asked whether U.S. officials have “any comment” on the Israeli ministers’ statements suggesting ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip. “They’re saying it out loud!” Hasan wrote."

On Aggressed, Aggressor, NATO Enlargement, and Ukraine War. Russia's real problem can be summed up by this beautiful quote from Walter E. Williams (Author): "If you hate my guts and have designs to hurt me, and I see you building a cannon aimed at my house, I am not going to wait for you to finish construction". This moreover is in the same vein as the words of Pope Francis who in an interview [1], has called the war in Ukraine: “cruel and senseless”...; And described the “barking of NATO at Russia's Door” as one of the triggers for Putin's wrath...

Moral: As things stand, it is worth remembering that the “Nagging Issue”, Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow is: "To War or not To War, That's the Question to ask NATO"; and for a good reason. The Telegraph (Jan. 1, 2024), 2024 will be a critical year for the West and the world Dictators must be faced down or the outlook is bleak indeed "The new year dawns with the West being drawn in the direction that every diplomatic sinew has been straining to avoid – direct conflict with either Russia or Iran, or both. The relentless Russian air and missile attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine seem designed to demoralise its people just as the West is cooling in its support almost two years after the invasion...As the West’s promise to back Ukraine “for as long as it takes” begins to fray at the edges, Putin will sense that his earlier calculation of waning interest abroad is beginning to show dividends. Sanctions have not brought Russia to its knees nor triggered a coup. Will 2024 see Nato back away further, especially in a US election year?
Matters are complicated by the spreading war in the Middle East. The West has been desperate to see this confined to an Israeli-Hamas fight, but the longer it goes on, with untold suffering in Gaza, the greater the likelihood that it will spread... The diplomatic and military conundrum at the start of this year, therefore, is whether it will be possible to continue taking a stand against Russia and Iran without triggering a direct conflict with either or both. As a nuclear power, Russia will persist in making dark threats about the consequences of Western involvement... The world is potentially facing its most critical year since the end of the Cold War and arguably since 1945. The autocrats must be faced down or the outlook is bleak indeed."

I am shocked by these headlines about NATO and by the people who post them here an infinite number of times. If you are a REAL SCIENTIST, then give me the answer to 2 simple questions: 1) On the basis of which international documents is NATO OBLIGED to ask Russia's permission for its expansion? 2) On the basis of which international documents does Russia HAVE the RIGHT to attack neighboring countries? Therefore, violators of international law must be ordered! Failure to comply with international law will lead to chaos. Isn't that clear?
Росіяни активно змінюють етнічний склад населення окупованих територій - https://www.pravda.com.ua/ukr/news/2024/01/4/7435796/
In line with my previous reply, this is a just-released paper by Song, Y. (2024). Ironclad US commitment to NATO? From NATO expansion to the Ukraine crisis. Cogent Social Sciences, 10(1), 2282734. Available on: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/23311886.2023.2282734
One may read in the ultimate conclusion of the paper: "As the Chatham House report by the NATO Group Policy Experts explicitly indicated, European governments are responsible for ensuring their territorial security, as “no amount of ‘smarter’ defence will compensate for a failure to reverse falling defence spending” (Butora, Citation2014). This, to a certain degree, explains why Trump mocked NATO as “obsolete” and had a long history of denigrating NATO and removing the US from the Alliance. Although the US is now “back” at NATO as Biden assures European allies that the Alliance’s mutual defence pact is “a sacred obligation”, Europe, which sees the image of US leadership becoming stronger across much of NATO than it has been in years, remains unsettled about the credibility and longevity of US commitment to the Alliance, simply because it also understands that the thorny issue of “two-tiered” alliance has disrupted the organisation’s strategic agility and vitality thus affected the US relationship with NATO. In short, concerning the unsatisfactory and even flawed coordination efforts, as well as the growing US preference for the “Pivot to Asia” strategy, which places more focus on the Pacific over Europe, it seems highly likely that unless something changes, NATO will end up just doing less with less."

In the same vein as my previous reply, it is interesting to read just-released article [1] by Florian Zollmann (Newcastle University, UK), "A war foretold: How Western mainstream news media omitted NATO eastward expansion as a contributing factor to Russia’s 2022 invasion of the Ukraine", No offense to those who refuse to read academic papers. The paper "identifies two competing explanatory frameworks: the dominant Western news media narrative assumes that Russia/Putin’s imperial ambitions and nefarious traits have caused the war, and a second narrative, advanced by several scholars, former diplomats and selected journalists, asserts that NATO’s eastward expansion created the context for Russia’s invasion. The article concludes that the second narrative has been de-emphasized in the news. Such framing is contrary to the historical and documentary record, and links to a marginalization of non-military solutions to solve the conflict."

Again, Jamеl bombards us with Russian propaganda. Russia's only high-precision weapon is Russian propaganda, which destroys the brain of everyone, even those who do not have it. "...the second "asserts that NATO’s eastward expansion created the context for Russia’s invasion..." Just look at the map! Russia has had a fairly large border with NATO (Poland, the Baltic countries) for more than 30 years. Be a SCIENTIST and not a disseminator of Russian propaganda!
This is an episode of my discussion with a Russian scientist - "You wrote "...we will not allow NATO to be in the Ukraine!" What does "...we will not allow?" Let's call a spade a spade. Therefore, say directly - "we will kill Ukrainian children, women, old people because we are AFRAID of NATO" (in Ukraine). But why are you not afraid of NATO in Finland and do not attack Finland? And I will tell you why - Because Finland is already in NATO! And you are afraid to attack NATO. Therefore your argument is bogus. Putin just needs Ukrainian land without the Ukrainian people. This is genocide!" And a fairy tale about NATO, just to cover this main goal.

It is regrettable that Scholars refuse to read Academic Publications, refute them without argumentation, and indulge in speeches laden with invectives and inquisitions. Scholars, because they are Scholars are against war, for peace, and for mutual respect everywhere in the world. Their Duty, each time when necessary, is to Rebel and Stand Against all forms of Injustices, Hateful Speeches, Racist Prejudices, and Manipulations of all kinds; always relying on Academic Knowledge and Historical Truths, withdrawn from State-Of-The-Art on the different themes: these are the Only Weapons Academics Have to bring objectivity into the debates for better future to all. Otherwise, what are we expected to do as Academics: to Shut Up? Let It Happen? or Normalize with Imposture? With all my respect to All.
To: Jamel. This is one of your reasonable posts. Unfortunately, many others your posts are trolling and promoting російської пропаганди (if you do not give your own arguments in support (or vice versa) of individual episodes of those articles. I think that often you do not even realize this because Russian propaganda is a very insidious thing, in which tens of billions of dollars are invested all over the world). Much of what you wrote applies to both of us. Therefore, I suggest to stop that clowning (but if you want, we can continue) and in the future adhere to what you wrote in your post. I suggest that all readers of this thread recommend this post by Jamel so that he gets a lot of recommendations and moves it to the most prominent place (the beginning) of the thread. But if Jamel continues trolling, we can withdraw our recommendations (by clicking "recommend" again under this post)
PS. Jamel continued to throw his garbage. His words do not match his actions. So I withdraw my offer to recommend his post.
During a massive Russian missile attack on Kyiv, one of the Russian missiles fell in the Voronezh region of Russia and destroyed an entire street in the Russian village (video). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7JralHWeKM Ukrainian air defense shot down more than 70 such missiles in the sky over Kyiv on 03/01/2024. Imagine the number of victims and destruction if all these missiles hit densely populated areas of the capital of Ukraine. Already did you imagine? Therefore, only people who support the Russian policy of genocide of Ukrainians and the ideology of fascism can question the need for NATO assistance for Ukraine.

Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenkov: (P 239) Vladyslav Honcharenko wrote, "The fundamental difference between the situation in Gaza and Ukraine is the nature of the war." Who spoke of the nature of the war? of terrorism? of Islamism? of Neo-Nazism? or of other subterfuges?

I am sure that a decent person with moral values and empathy would never write such a comparison (unless he is a Russian)" I am not Russian and the Paper I mentioned is From Australia.

Can you say that the women and children of the Bucha region were massacred because the ACTION of the Azof Neo-Nazis who committed attacks against the Russian-speaking population in Southern Ukraine? Or INACTION because women and children of the Bucha region were unable to prevent the Azof Neo-Nazis to do so? So please, once again, think about it and come up with a Direct Honest answer: Why it is indecent to compare the number of deaths in wars of armies aggressions against civilians?"

Jamel, you seem to be a scientist, but you act like a clown. I thought you believed what you wrote. I thought that for you Russian money or the rating in RG is less important than what you write. Oh well. It's your choice. Let's continue. For every bit of your shit, I will copy my post exposing it.Jamel Chahed. I have dignity, decency, and pride definitely no less than you. I am convinced that manipulations and Russian lies and propaganda must be fought. You spread it. I'm trying to keep this from spreading, not fight against you. And I will continue to do so until you stop spreading various fakes. Well, let's continue... "Dear colleagues! I am sorry that Jamel Chahed brought you this garbage again. (his message "Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenko" ). But soon he will remove it from here and move it forward And will do so constantly. He did this in this topic before. I always answered thus to this message of his -
To: Jamel Chahed. Are you really a scientist? If so, why are you acting like a clown? After each of my answers, you have already deleted and then moved forward your message 17 times, which began like this -
"Previous reply to Vladyslav Honcharenko:(P 237) "..After all surreal subterfuges you used to explain your imposture, it is clear that what you said..."
I have already replied to this post of yours 17 times. I give it for the 18th time. And I will do it every time you delete your message and move it forward. I am no less patient than you are stubborn.
To: Jamel Chahed. Great work! You concentrated all your manipulations in one post. Now do the same with all my answers (complete, not sentences taken out of context). You identify as a scientist! So behave in discussions like a scientist, not like an internet troll. I wrote to you about the causal relationship and the different nature of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine (p.p.236-242). You stubbornly do not want to see this. But you come up with your own interpretation of my phrases and try to manipulate them like an Internet troll. By the way, this is one of the favorite techniques of Russian propaganda, which Ukrainians have learned well to detect over so many years.
Unfortunately, other nations have not progressed so far in this direction. For information - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_(slang). (not only you know the "Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V" technique).
I want to note that during this clowning he wrote to me "Go ahead: Post it one last time." And You Did It: Bravo! Now: Please "de Grâce" Don't call me out, Don't address me anymore, and Forget even my Name." I took this as a suggestion to stop this trash and followed it up by writing a post with the following content -
"Before I grant your request I want to tell you the following.
You made the right decision! If I were Russian, I would buy vodka, call my friends and drink for 3 days and brag to them about my victory and laugh at you. But I am Ukrainian. I am a descendant of a great nation that has lived on the banks of the Dnipro River for over 2,000 years. Therefore, I will tell you the following: 1) You have acted very wisely. And that deserves respect. 2) I want to apologize to you for the emotional and perhaps too sharp reaction to the comparison of the war in Gaza and Ukraine and some of your messages. 3) I did not want to offend the author of that article. I don't know him. Maybe he is a good person. And maybe he did not attach much importance to his phrases as I perceived them. Therefore, I apologize to him as well. 4) As I already wrote to you, I sympathize with the women and children of Gaza, not only for them but also for all PEACEFUL residents. My position is this: peaceful people should not die violent deaths. 5) And finally. I am really sorry for our conflict. This misunderstanding did not allow us to become friends, at least to have pleasant memories of our communication. And now I calmly and with a clear conscience begin to fulfill your request "Please "de Grâce" Don't call me out, Don't address me anymore, and Forget even my Name". I hope you now understand the difference between Ukrainians and Russians. And that we are not one nation. And that's why the Russians call us "Nazis" or "neo-Nazis". Because Ukrainians always emphasize that they have little in common with Russians."
But I was wrong, because I thought that Jamel Chahed have no problems with adequacy. Now I'm not sure about it".
Vladyslav Honcharenko, "Jamel Chahed. I have dignity, decency, and pride definitely no less than you.." Okey, My Bad! So, Please, "de Grâce" Don't call me out, Don't address me anymore, and Forget even my Name..." Please, "De Grâce!"

My thoughts in the context of the France 24 article (Jamel Chahed). Ukrainians are probably one of the few nations in the world that are not afraid of the "Russian bear". But fighting bears with stones and sticks is difficult. Think about the following questions:1) How many countries in the world could fight with Russia for almost 2 years 2) Would you like to die in the war? 3) What skills and abilities do you personally have today to be an effective soldier? 4) Why can Russia pay huge sums of money to its soldiers, but Ukraine cannot? 5) Why Ukraine is not helped with the necessary weapons (planes, long-range missiles, even shells in sufficient quantity, etc.) 6) Are the sanctions against the Russian economy effective? 7) Will Europe be able to fight Russia if Ukraine falls? Having answered these questions for yourself, you will be able to understand at least a little the feelings of Ukrainians. Patriotism in Ukrainian society has not diminished. GIVE US ALL THE WEAPONS WE NEED and you will see the results of this patriotism!

The Russians probably pay Jamel very well, because he started several hundred of his posts with a single phrase ("To War or not To War, That's the Question to ask NATO".), makes an accent that NATO is to blame for Russia's aggression. With this, he emphasizes that Russia is not guilty of an aggressive attack on Ukraine. I do not see any other logical explanation for such a stubborn promotion of Russian narratives. If I'm wrong then tell us why Jamel?

Nuclear weapons are the best deterrent mechanism for an aggressor. Unfortunately, in 1992, the USA and Russia (together!) deceived Ukraine with a fairy tale about the "non-proliferation of nuclear weapons". Under pressure from the US, Ukraine handed over its nuclear weapons to Russia (along with the missiles with which Russia is now firing at Kyiv). But today the USA behaves more decently than Russia, feeling its indirect guilt in the aggression against Ukraine. If Ukraine had even a few nuclear weapons (at least tactical ones) - Russia would never have attacked Ukraine! Russian propaganda everywhere says "Don't trust the USA, you can be deceived." I would say - "Don't trust Russia, you will definitely be deceived"
First of all, there will be Peace.
Everybody will regret what has happened and be in shock about how they have been deceived. It will be evident that nothing was achieved by the West and that misinformation lead to the war. Many who have not been working for Peace will be embarrassed for the rest of their life’s and their children will have no respect for them. A lot of fathers in the West will lose their children, even decades from now.
Russia has already been experiencing a prolonged stage of miraculous economic development for years as direct consequence of sanctions. The war has been a super-strong accelerator to that development which I think has astonished everybody including Russians. The Russian economy is approaching a state in which it will be fully self-sufficient including all primary resources, food, essential elements, high-tech and world-leading tech-companies. Self-sufficiency is the basis for unrestrained, unlimited growth (in this point of time). ANY excess production of the Russian economy is gladly bought by its many direct neighbors with insatiable need for Russian resources and fast growing economies themselves.
A direct reply to your question is not of my interest as it is so utterly off. I recommend hearing more African news, as I do. There are first-class African media outlets in English (they are significantly better than the Indian and Chinese information channels in English).
Second reply
The outcome of the war was evident before the war even started when the presidents of Russia and China declared unlimited cooperation (http://en.kremlin.ru/supplement/5770). This declaration has been successfully rolled out ever since. The events in the Ukraine usher as geopolitical accelerator to that end. Particularly in the global rush to exit the Western financial system which has proven to be entirely unsafe during the war.)
Unfortunately, one has to know US, Russian, Chinese, NATO and BRICS assets for comparison. This includes profound knowledge of the industry, civil and military technology, the economy, financial markets and ALL resources to be able to compare. Without this knowledge it is impossible to understand the war in Ukraine for it develops within these interconnected layers of reality.
I remember my own beginnings. I would mostly learned about everything oil and gas for years. Then I learned about the water required, contaminated and depleted for production and about ALL other energy sources. Even after that I could not begin to understand as so much knowledge was missing and most specialists characteristically explain insignificant aspects, information out of context or outright wrong. A great example for this information problem is the data about daily-oil production referenced by all experts. It is eyewash. Only data about production per energy input would be valid (as the required energy for oil extraction has continuously increased within the last decades). Another great example is GDP which has very little to do with the real economy, real values, health of a nation or society. Particularly in the case of the US where money generation is entirely detached from domestic economic output (by use of the global distribution system of US currency which is the Petro-Dollar system). Understanding the disconnect in current US statistics for GDP and the real US economy provides a fundamental idea of how the war is going to end.
Thirdly, we know about the outcome of the war by the change in all of the above listed asset classes, as well as the geopolitical landslides towards the East. In all categories the West is in free fall. For me as a simple construction engineer it is of particular interest to learn about the scandals in the US like the one leading to the production of submarines and warships with substandard alloys for several decades. Not a single military asset built with the weak alloys out of those production lines is safe for operation. Some of the latest US warships had cracks shortly after deployment and were decommissioned. There are countless such incidents or scandals depicting the aging of the US military-industrial-media complex. I just gave this one as it is little known.
The disintegration of western alliances, collapse of economies and impoverishment of populations proceeds with surprising acceleration. I warmly recommend the set of 300+ interviews done for the series “California Insider”. Being a German myself I have been experiencing the downfall of the old world first hand (in Europe since the 80ties). On the other side the Majority Of The World enjoys a diversified and robust economic uprisal under the leadership of the peaceful economic alliance that is the BRICS.
The outcome of the Ukraine war will be like the outcome of the war in Afghanistan and other US foreign interventions: An epic and historic embarrassment for the US. An eye-opener that could not be any stronger, for the advanced age of a dying empire in which leaders have started believing their own lies, in which the population is so drug-addicted, overweight, sick, mental or uneducated that not even enough young people qualified for simple military service can be found.
The war in the Ukraine will persist in the global consciousness as an unspeakable crime against humanity uniting the world irreversibly in the struggle for Freedom, Justice and Peace. This is the Chinese century. This is the Asian century. The new World Order has successfully materialized since February 2022. It was prepared by the SCO for almost 20 years as well as in Russia under practically and effectively the same prudent leadership since 1999.
I want to finish with the remark that I am not an expert on these matters. Everything I wrote are basics, or should be general knowledge.
Among Thousands of History Books about Palestine, I recommend the one by Jerome Slater, professor (emeritus) of political science at the State University of New York at Buffalo. "Mythologies Without End: The US, Israel, and the Arab-Israeli Conflict, 1917-2020. Oxford University Press, USA, 2020". From the outset, the Book’s Prologue is a moving text of Honesty and sincere truth. I am reporting this fascinating text hereafter:
PROLOGUE: "Like almost all Jews of my generation, coming of age in America in the 1940s, immediately after the Holocaust and with anti-Semitism still alive in this country, I thought of myself as a passionate Zionist and rejoiced over the establishment of the state of Israel and its 1948 and 1967 victories over its Arab enemies. From 1957 to 1960 I served as the anti-submarine warfare officer on a US destroyer. Some years later, after Egypt acquired four submarines from the Soviet Union, I wrote to the Israeli embassy in the United States and offered to serve as an ASW officer on an Israeli destroyer if a new war with Egypt were to break out before the Israelis could train their own people.
My offer was politely declined, and in any case I changed my mind when it became apparent that soon after the 1967 war, Gamal Abdel Nasser, and then his successor Anwar Sadat, were seeking to end the Arab-Israeli conflict, but were being stonewalled by the Israeli government of Golda Meir. I considered writing to Meir to say that if Israel blundered into an unnecessary war with Egypt -which, of course, in 1973 it did- she should consider my offer as canceled.
For the past fifty years I have been studying, teaching, and writing about Israel and the Arab-Israeli conflict, and have many close connections in that country. l’ve been there many times, served as a Fulbright lecturer at Haifa University in 1989, and given lectures at other Israeli universities. I continue to have many dear Israeli friends. During this time l’ve become convinced that Israel -with essentially blind US Jewish and government support- is well along the road to both a moral and security disaster. The first step Israel must take to prevent matters from getting even worse is to come to terms with the historical truth. Doing so may even be the sine qua non to providing justice to the Palestinians, to save itself as an enlightened democracy, and perhaps even literally save itself from an attack by fanatical Arab terrorists who have somehow acquired nuclear or other weapons of mass destruction.
The prospects today for a just peace, it must be said, have never been so dim. What then is the purpose of this book? Or even for completely secular Jews, like me, what is the point of thinking of ourselves as part of the Jewish people if we fail to align ourselves with the best values of Western civilization, to which Judaism has made a fundamental contribution? There was a time when it was widely accepted -and not just by Jews- that the Jewish culture and tradition were particularly committed to reason, truth, and justice. Consequently, when Israel was founded, and vowed to be “a light unto the nations,” the belief was widespread that it might actually fulfill this promise, or at least try to. Today that seems quaint, if not downright preposterous -but it wasn’t always so.
I write now in the hope that an effort at honesty and accuracy might perform some service. I feel something of a personal responsibility: these are, in some sense, my people. Their mythologies have blinded them to the true history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and in their oppression of the Palestinian people they have abandoned enlightened Jewish traditions, which in my (secular) view constitute the best reasons for Judaism to have survived for twenty-five centuries. One can only hope that correcting the historical record can make a contribution to justice as well as truth."

South Ukraine, is under Occupation. West Bank and Gaza are “Occupied Palestinian Territories” (OPT). As such and According to International Law, the protection of civilians in Occupied Territories falls under the occupiers' responsibility. To learn about the Rules and Laws that govern the Responsibilities of Peoples, States, and Armies in Occupied Territories, I would mention the Nabulsi Karma's well-referenced book, "Traditions of War: Occupation, Resistance and The Law (Oxford, 1999). ; online edn, Oxford Academic, 1 Nov. 2003)" https://academic.oup.com/book/3195?login=false
Abstract
This book examines wars and military occupation, and the ideas underlying them. The search for these ideas is conducted in the domain of the laws of war, a body of rules that sought to regulate the practices of war and those permitted to fight in it. This work introduces three ideologies: the martial, Grotian, and republican. These traditions were rooted in incommensurable conceptions of the good life, and the overall argument is that their differences lay at the heart of the failure fully to resolve the distinction between lawful and unlawful combatants at successive diplomatic conferences of Brussels in 1874, the Hague in 1899 and 1907, and Geneva in 1949. Based on a wide range of sources and a plurality of intellectual disciplines, the book places these diplomatic failures in their broader social and political contexts. By bringing out ideological continuities and drawing on the social history of army occupation in Europe and resistance to it, the book both challenges and illuminates the understanding of modern war.

To: Nicol-André Berdellé. Oh my god, are you a scientist or just another Russian propagandist? "...The outcome of the Ukraine war will be like the outcome of the war in Afghanistan and other US foreign interventions: An epic and historic embarrassment for the US..." - How do you know the future? Share the source! Should I just believe you? Are you a scientist or a prophet?
I laughed for a long time at the phrase "... I recommend hearing more African news, as I do. There are first-class African media outlets in English (they are significantly better than the Indian and Chinese information channels in English)." - Ah, I understood! The Russians tell Africa about their great development different information than to China and India. "Russia Today" is afraid to give to China and India lying as they lie to Africans. China and India are not so gullible.
"...It will be evident that nothing was achieved by the West and that misinformation lead to the war..." - Tell me, what misinformation made Putin launch a missile attack on Ukraine and launch a large-scale invasion? Let me guess... Putin was afraid that NATO would approach Russia's borders! Or Ukraine wanted to attack Russia first! Why small, weak Ukraine will can attack a superpower Russia which has nuclear weapons? With what weapon and army to attack? Do Russians consider Ukrainians idiots? We are not suicides! And if Russia was so afraid of the USA or NATO, why did the Russians attack Ukraine? It was necessary to hit the USA or NATO! And why is Russia afraid of the "approaching of NATO to Russia's borders", when has had a large border with NATO countries for more than 30 years? Is it logic?
This is an episode of my discussion with a Russian scientist - "You wrote "...we will not allow NATO to be in the Ukraine!" What does "...we will not allow?" Let's call a spade a spade. Therefore, say directly - "we will kill Ukrainian children, women, old people because we are AFRAID of NATO" (in Ukraine). But why are you not afraid of NATO in Finland and do not attack Finland? And I will tell you why - Because Finland is already in NATO! And you are afraid to attack NATO. Therefore your argument is bogus. Putin just needs Ukrainian land without the Ukrainian people. This is genocide!" And a fairy tale about NATO, just to cover this main goal.
To: Nicol-André Berdellé. I will give you information that propagandists from "Russia Today" (via African, Chinese or Indian media) will not give you. 1) This is what Ukrainian Donbas "liberated" by the Russians looks like -
https://www.radiosvoboda.org/a/maryinka-naslidky-obstriliv-rf/32411199.html
Ukrainians once lived here (whom the Russians came to "liberate")
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vH7u1pjMjc - Video of the results of the Russian missile attack on Kyiv during the New Year holidays. Ukrainian air defense shot down all Shahed drones and more than 60 Kh-101/Kh555Kh-55 missiles and 10 hypersonic Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal" missiles that were in this attack. In the video - the arrival of only 1 rocket. If it weren't for the Western anti-aircraft weapon (that West, which you think is rotting), imagine the consequences of this attack!
3) We (Ukrainians) patiently destroy the aggressor who came to our motherland, to our country during 2 years. During this time - On the Ukrainian-Russian front line (over 1,500 km), the Ukrainians destroyed: 1) more than 356,000 experienced Russian soldiers and officers, 2) 329 military aircraft and 324 helicopters, 3) 5,940 tanks, 4) 11,015 armored infantry vehicles, 5) 8,391 powerful artillery units, 6) 617 powerful air defense complexes (air defense), 7) 935 salvo artillery systems (Grad type), 8) 23 naval ships and boats (including the flagship of the Russian fleet "Moscow" and 1 submarine, 9) 6,503 unmanned aerial vehicles. Ukrainians will continue to endure, defending their homeland with the support of our allies who help us with weapons
4) you can see the real military map here -https://deepstatemap.live/#7/49.429/32.080. (In green it marks the territories that the Ukrainians have already liberated from the Russians in 2 years since their insidious large-scale attack)
A must-read by Scholars [1]: "The Responsibility of Intellectuals to Explain the Historical Background to International Conflicts". Excerpt from the paper conclusion: "..Intellectuals who purport to analyze international conflict situations must give a full picture. They should not limit themselves to writing versions of events that conform to what particular governments want to hear. They have a moral obligation to take their analyzes wherever the facts require."

Thank you for the effort to compile that information.
My remark about the outcome of the war was poorly worded, you are right. I should have written: The outcome can be seen unraveling since 2022. Like the war in Afghanistan…
As scientists we bear the highest responsibility to work for the good of all people. Now we have to work for Peace above all. We need to work out and deliver the decisive facts that create understanding in the minds of those less fortunate to inquire and study themselves. We should by all means not fight against each other, insulting and embarrassing ourselves. If we do that we become less credible in the sight of the public and decision makers. I respect you and I am truly sorry for what is happening in our countries...
To: Nicol-André Berdellé I have a suggestion (so that your words about world peace don't look empty). WRITE A LETTER TO PUTIN so that he stops the war, stops killing women, old people and children in Ukraine. And then you will tell us what he replied to your peaceful initiative!
The best thing you can do for peace is to write many letters to your MPs about providing arms for SELF-DEFENSE to Ukraine or gather a demonstration in front of the government's house with such a demand.
"...We should by all means not fight against each other..." I wonder what you would do if some thug broke into your house and started raping your wife or mother? Would you tell him about world peace? (sorry for such a comparison). It just amazes me how people can not understand that in addition to good there is also EVIL in the world! If evil is not stopped, it will multiply! And as it multiplies - it will be much more difficult to stop it (Remember Hitler?)
