Putin: Outsmarts West, Averts Nuclear Armageddon

The heroes and villains of world politics have always been contentious—whoever writes the pages of history paints a fascinating interpretation.

This week, another hero presented himself to the world, and his elevation to hero status should not be denied nor be contentious.

But it will be, because no matter what, the demonisation of Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Russia has brainwashed the global community into a consumed narrative of mania that has always been suspect and weak.

Recognising Putin as a hero may be met with great disapproval by the brainwashed masses, but those who understand the world of geopolitics will draw the connection and appreciate why Putin is a hero.

And if he isn’t seen as a hero by the international community, he is by the Russian people. Since 2006, Putin has faced a hostile West, especially the neocons of the US who have done everything to destabilize Russia and depose Putin.

Putin’s presidency and quest to normalise Russia, grow its economy, and have it become an accepted member of the international community was offensive to the US. They couldn't have Russia or Putin non-compliant with the US’s hegemonic objectives.

Simply, Putin’s refusal to be compliant or a lackey of the US didn’t bode well for America’s grand schemes. Ukraine is a geopolitical nightmare the US and NATO have created dating back as far as 2007.

Using Ukraine as a bulwark to threaten Russia’s security and sovereignty has failed. Russia has defeated the US and NATO’s plans of destroying Russia and exploiting its resources. It’s obvious the Americans and NATO not only underestimated Putin but were ill-equipped to counter Putin and the Russian resolve or military might.

But this week, if it wasn’t already blatantly obvious for the past several years that the US and NATO were ill-equipped strategically, diplomatically, and intellectually to deal with Putin, then this week the message was well and truly rammed home.

These are different leagues of geopolitics, and Putin is in a league of his own for reasons that should be clear. It’s why the world must now recognise him as a hero.

Following Putin’s June 14 peace proposal in advance of Zelenskyy’s Peace Summit in Geneva earlier this week, Putin flew to North Korea. He had a date with North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.

Putin’s global game of chess has checkmated the US and NATO and illustrates why the fools in Washington and NATO are no match.

Putin’s meeting with Kim Jong-Un has significantly altered the global geopolitical landscape. It has led to the formation of a new strategic alliance, dramatically shifting the balance of power and potentially averting a nuclear crisis.

Those in the US, especially within the Pentagon, who understand the significance of the alliance, recognize what it creates—a formidable partnership between Russia and North Korea of economic importance that begins the transformation of Korea, as well as a mutual defense pact that sees each protecting the other.

Late last week, when Putin made a peace offer that was immediately dismissed by the US and NATO, it was a calculated move designed to position Russia as a rational and willing participant in peace negotiations.

However, as is the predictable narrative from the West and the US, Putin's demands were seen as an imposition on Ukraine, mirroring President Volodymyr Zelensky’s own preconditions for negotiations.

Putin called for the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from contested territories, a demand perceived as a call for surrender. It was a ludicrous interpretation by analysts, demonstrating a refusal to understand Ukraine has not only lost the war but would continue to lose territory it will never regain.

Seasoned geopolitical analysts understand the deeper implications of Putin's move. Described as a “diplomatic torpedo" by Russian officials, it was aimed at the international community gathered in Switzerland, pressuring them to reconsider their support for Ukraine by presenting Russia as a rational actor ready to negotiate. And that’s what Russia has been all along.

Putin’s offer for peace was a message to both international and domestic audiences. Domestically, it was aimed at appeasing Russian hardliners who have criticized Putin for being too diplomatic and cautious. By presenting tough demands, Putin sought to project strength and resolve, reinforcing his image as a steely and determined leader.

The West’s response to Putin’s offer has been characterised by its refusal to engage seriously in negotiations, driven by diplomatic inexperience and a sense of hubris.

Leaders throughout the US and Europe dismissed Putin’s overtures as insincere and aimed at buying time for Russia. The West’s failure to admit it’s been humiliated by Russia and its ongoing refusal to negotiate is a significant miscalculation, reflecting a deep-seated arrogance and underestimation of Russia’s strategic capabilities.

The West's diplomatic inexperience has been on full display, with leaders failing to recognize the benefits of engaging with Russia on its terms. US and NATO hubris hasn’t only prolonged the war in Ukraine but has driven Russia to seek alliances elsewhere, culminating in the historic trip to North Korea.

The real game-changer, however, was Putin's visit to North Korea. Shrouded in secrecy and marked by elaborate ceremonies, it resulted in a military alliance with significant geopolitical ramifications.

Despite media attempts to downplay the significance of the alliance, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed the essence of the alliance was an overwhelming military relationship.

Russia’s alliance with North Korea serves multiple strategic purposes. Firstly, it neutralizes US efforts to isolate Russia. With North Korea as a steadfast ally, Russia gains a powerful partner in East Asia, complicating the strategic calculations of the US and its allies. Secondly, it demonstrates a united front against Western sanctions and diplomatic pressure, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of both Russia and North Korea under sustained international scrutiny.

Furthermore, it ensures any aggressive moves by the US or its allies in the region would face a coordinated response from both Russia and North Korea. It also sends a clear message to China and other regional powers about Russia's commitment to maintaining a balance of power in East Asia.

While reactions by the West to Putin's peace offering and his trip to North Korea remain mixed, Putin’s diplomatic game of chess has helped avert any immediate threat of a broader nuclear conflict. There is also significant anxiety about the long-term implications of this new alliance. The US and its allies now face a more complex and challenging strategic environment, with Russia and North Korea poised to counter any moves that threaten their interests.

Western media have largely downplayed the military relationship, focusing more on the ceremonial aspects of Putin’s visit. However, analysts within the Pentagon and other strategic circles are acutely aware of the gravity of the situation—recognising it alters the strategic calculus, making any direct confrontation with Russia even more perilous.

Furthermore, the alliance also represents a significant strategic setback for the US and its allies. It complicates the implementation of policies aimed at containing China’s influence in the region, such as the AUKUS pact and other military arrangements with Japan and South Korea. With Russia’s involvement, the strategic landscape of East Asia becomes more volatile and unpredictable.

Moreover, the alliance underscores the limitations of Western diplomacy and sanctions. Despite years of economic pressure and diplomatic isolation, both Russia and North Korea have managed to not only survive but also strengthen their positions on the global stage. Russia has rapidly transformed itself into an economic powerhouse, and Russia and North Korea’s resilience challenges the effectiveness of the West’s approach and calls for a reassessment of its geopolitical strategies.

The implications of the new alliance are vast. Not only does it reassert Russia’s presence in East Asia and strengthen its hand in its ongoing confrontation with the West, but it also signals a shift in the global power structure, with Russia and North Korea standing united against US hegemony.

Putin’s North Korea visit was a masterstroke. It was a political masterclass in how to outwit rogue nations hellbent on the destruction of humanity through Armageddon. Russia’s alliance with North Korea has made it impossible for the neocons in the US State Department to carry out their plans of escalating the conflict with Russia. Putin’s formation of the partnership has effectively removed the proxy element from the war in Ukraine, making any direct confrontation between the US and Russia less likely.

Not only has Putin ensured any attack on Russia or North Korea would trigger a coordinated response and a direct confrontation with the aggressor, but the mutual defense pact, similar to NATO’s Article 5, acts as a deterrent against any aggressive moves by the US or its allies.

Putin’s strategic acumen has reshaped the geopolitical landscape globally, and his ongoing attempts to negotiate peace highlight Russia’s willingness to engage in negotiations on its terms, projecting strength and resolve. His trip to North Korea and the formation of an alliance with North Korea has created a new axis of power challenging the strategic dominance of the US and its allies.

It’s a significant turning point in international relations, with far-reaching implications for global security and stability. The West now faces the humiliating task of reassessing its strategies and finding new ways to navigate this complex and rapidly evolving geopolitical environment.

Because of Putin’s strategic brilliance, the world has a lot to thank Russia’s President for. His leadership and quest for peace have saved the world from the lunacy of the West and the madmen in control.
