He said that nobody in Europe knows what Trump’s plan actually is, they’re unable to assemble the approximately 100,000 troops that a prolonged peacekeeping mission in Ukraine would require, and Poland still remains reluctant to participate in any such mission even if it’s heavily pressured to do so.
If NATO or EU nations provide "peace keepers" to monitor the Ukraine/Russian Line of Control, I am certain there will be a "false flag" incident with peace keeper casualties. That will "justify" war hawks to resume hostilities with Russia. Trump is wise to with-hold US troops from service in Ukraine. Starmer is irresponsibly mad if he goes ahead with his intentions to authorise British troops to be stationed in Ukraine.
Starmer is a completely naive idiot, he cares nothing for the people of the UK. He thinks that Elensky is some war hero instead of a corrupt psychopath cross-dresser who also cares nothing for the Ukrainian people. Even with elensky's removal via the ballot box, false flags will be plentiful from the Banderites.
Lukowski repeats the statement that "the Russians cannot be trusted." Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov made a long statement just a couple of days ago wherein he did a rundown of all the things the West has done that make it "agreement incapable." I'd like to see or hear a similar specific enumeration by the West of Russia's untrustworthy acts, if any Western leaders actually believe themselves up to the task. But in what has become typical fashion (especially in Europe), the Western oligarchy seems content to simply repeat the mantra "the Russians cannot be trusted" rather than going into specifics. Repeat it enough and it becomes true, right?
I think this news suggests that Polish military establishments have different ideas than their political counterparts. No worry. After a while Poland will fold like Olaf under EU.
the reality is that NONE of the NATO members or aspirants who have armed Russia's enemies and spoken of carving up Russia and tried to extinguish Russia economically will be invited to "occupy" western Ukraine by Russia. And if they show up without UNSC approval, Russia will target their troops. See, the idea of a "peacekeeper" is that he is just there patrolling and "keeping the peace" peacefully by his presence. It is not to wage war under yet another ruse.
How do the Russians decipher whether NATO/EU troops are peace keepers vs. aggressors? If they allow this the entire war has been some sort of clouded, cloaked psyop. There is no change in Europe's (and the U.S.?) desire to conquer, carve up and extract from Russia. They will not stop absent decisive defeat. The Russians did not want NATO on their border. They have accomplished that at material cost. Now they will permit hostile forces on the very line of contact proximate to their border? Any relenting now is indication something else was afoot.
I just wonder what sort of costume parties the lunatic European oligarchs will hold when no one on the planet is willing to believe that "the Russians are coming." This poor fool needs a better hat.
It is unlikely that the Russians will ever agree to the presence of a 100,000 NATO soldiers inside Ukraine, regardless of the role assigned to them. Even a smaller force will be opposed as unacceptable. They would view this as an initial intrusion by NATO. Their own long-term strategy will push for Ukraine demilitarization, relentlessly. As far as Polish planes flying over Ukraine, that is a major NO! They started the whole of the Special Operation to make sure to head off NATO intrusions. One has to look at the full experience of the Soviet/Russian period with the West to understand present positions. There are certain events that are almost unknown in the Western World. The book from Amazon “A Nasty Little War” will provide some interesting details. It is very well written by a historian.
Now that Vance laid out how things are going to be does Poland feel better about Europe and NATO? I highly doubt it. They better get in high gear and start manufacturing the munitions needed to survive for 2/3/4/5/6 weeks because the way it look right now counting on European help is akin to nobody coming and thinking the US is open checkbook would be just foolish.
I read elsewhere (LinkedIn) a post seeking to draw a parallel between dealing with Putin to secure peace in 2025 with Chamberlain’s efforts to avoid war in 1938 at Munich. The facile point was not to appease dictators. I pointed out that the declared aim of the SMO was to denazify Ukraine hence any similarities to Munich were made irrelevant by NATO support for Zelensky’s regime against Russia in favour of Nazis. As to NATO stationing troops on Russia’s border the UK should deploy them in ratios that the RAF sought to achieve to meet DEI quotas, 20% immigrant minorities and 40% female then they will pose no threat at all to Russia.

something like, yes -- and this after being allowed to waltz into Ukraine with their "peacekeepers" and occupy the place?

"Repeat it enough and it becomes true" - Perception Management IS the modus operandi.

We are used to intelligence chiefs telling the truth, especially Polish ones...

You are a feisty 1 with balls-'o-steel posting that on LinkedIn: I've never seen as great a collection of uptight keeners anywhere else.
Thanks. LinkedIn probably is representative of 80% of the population although with a higher proportion of self promoters.
Did Lukowski give an estimate of how many border guards he'd need should kinetics happen to keep his fighting-age boys from running to Germany?
B. ciekawy.
