The author's observations on the Ukraine conflict highlight a clear distinction between aggressor and victim. He argues that Ukraine's fight against Russia is a just war, akin to the situation in Bosnia. However, the looming prospect of an unjust peace, particularly exacerbated by political figures like Donald Trump, threatens to strip Ukraine of its lands and justice for war crimes. Drawing parallels with the 2008 Russian-Georgian war, he contends that the West's weak responses not only failed Georgia but also emboldened Putin's future aggression towards Ukraine. This appeasement pattern encourages systematic regional destabilization, reaffirming the need for strong international commitments to protect Ukraine.
Ukraine faces the risk of an unjust peace under Donald Trump, leading to lost lands, unpunished war crimes, and insufficient security guarantees against future Russian aggression.
The weak Western response to Russia's 2008 war on Georgia emboldened Putin's aggression toward Ukraine, showcasing a pattern of appeasement that history warns against.
