Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson on Ukraine’s prospects

– Ukraine will either capitulate or cease to exist as a state. There will be no transgender Ukraine. She will either surrender on Russian terms or they will destroy her.

“And I think that Russia is extremely serious here. If you underestimate and do not believe Russia’s statements, you will be bitterly disappointed.

The Russians are right. By the time the US leadership comes to the idea: oh, we need negotiations to end this, it will be too late.

The Russians will not negotiate. They no longer trust the West. The West has already proven itself to be a liar. After all, they used the Minsk agreements and Minsk-2 simply as a diversionary maneuver and to stall for time. And Russia said: no, we are not idiots, we don’t play such games.

It is the matter of time. Do you know the expression: the walking dead? Or, in this case, Ukraine is like a chicken whose head has been cut off. The chicken is still running in circles. But she has no head. And then she falls and dies.”
