The Last Days of NATO's Emperor Zelenskyy
July 23—Sources in the intelligence community and close to the White House say that we in the last days or weeks of the reign of Emperor Volodymyr I (Zelenskyy), NATO's puppet dictator of the Ukraine. Every day that the senseless war in the Ukraine continues, the Ukrainian forces are losing over 1,200 men, and they have long since been scraping at the bottom of the manpower barrel for "recruits" who are forcibly dragooned for service.
Senior military leaders long ago concluded that the war is hopelessly lost against a Russian foe that has superior resources to deploy and what is called "escalatory dominance"—the ability to ramp of the level of attack and resources deployed into the fight, beyond Ukraine's ability to respond. No amounts of additional NATO supplies, including new Patriot missile and drone defense systems, which will be sent by the U.S. to paying customers in NATO, for transshipment to the bankrupt Ukrainians, will alter this losing equation.
Plans for Peace and Zelenskyy’s Replacement
These sources report that it is the military command that is moving to replace Zelenskyy, so that actual peace negotiations with the Russians can take place. It has been known for some time that Ukrainian military leaders and their Russian counterparts have been talking about a peace deal through "back channels." They have already hammered out terms for a ceasefire, and discussion of how to deal with the reality of battle-drawn borders for the Ukraine. The sources say that the military totally accepts the position of President Donald Trump that Ukraine must accept that the Crimea and the 4 oblasts, which contain majority Russian populations, will never be part of Ukraine again, but that borders of the 4 oblasts can be adjusted.
Zelenskyy, to justify his slaughter of Ukrainians in this useless war, which he and NATO deliberately provoked in a stupid attempt to weaken Russia, has famously proclaimed that he would never yield "one inch" of Ukraine's territory, a stance which dooms real negotiations.
These sources say that Ukraine's real military leadership, not the handpicked fools loyal to Zelenskyy, have long ago agreed to not seek NATO membership, provided they are allowed to control their sovereign defensive forces and police and other agencies to maintain domestic order. Further, in the discussion with their Russian counterparts, before Zelenskyy tried to cut off such talks, they expressed a desire to disarm and destroy the various Nazi linked military formations, such as Azov, but said that they were protected by NATO.
A Coup in Motion and the Trump Factor
Sources report that Zelenskyy was informed of the coup plans against him in the military not by the Americans and the CIA, but by the British and MI6, and NATO linked sources. He reacted by removing from command Ukraine's most popular leader, General Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the former chief of Ukraine’s armed forces and who he appointed Ambassador to London, so his activities could be watched by British intelligence. The sources say that Zelenskyy wanted to have him killed, but then CIA director William Burns, the most able diplomat in the dysfunctional Biden Administration, vetoed those plans and threatened the Ukrainian dictator.
Zaluzhnyi is now considered the preferred successor to the NATO puppet, Zelenskyy; he had said previously that he would be willing to sit down with Putin to make peace.
"Now, the wheels are turning, and the decision has been made to Zelenskyy to exit, either gracefully to exile in the U.S, perhaps to Miami or Hollywood, with President Trump's approval," said a source. "You see Zelenskyy needs this brutal war to continue for him to stay in power, under an emergency decree. He has already given an indication that he may not run for re-election, when that occurs. So, the offer is to get out now; to make a grand play and say he is leaving to allow for new leaders to negotiate a real peace. Then, exit stage right, taking at least some of the money he has stolen with him and perhaps some of his key people, like [Chief of the Office of the President] Andriy Yermak with him. If he chooses not to leave, well, then there are ways to deal with that which would not be pleasant for him. But most people think he will leave, since he is a coward, despite all his bluster. Only last week, there were reports circulated in Ukraine that there are plans to evacuate his whole government, should the Russians move on Kyiv, which is not in the offing right now."
These sources dismiss more friendly statements coming from Trump towards Zelenskyy as simply part of the play to try to bring Putin to the table. Trump has zero love for Zelenskyy, they say, who vainly tries to play up such statements for internal consumption. Trump will support Zelenskyy's exit "in a New York minute. He has no use for him, at all."
Enter 'Psywar' Hersh
The outlines of what is described here were leaked to the investigative journalist Seymour Hersh, who wrote an article speculating on Zelenskyy's departure July 18. There are indications that Zelenskyy knows what is coming,' Hersh writes. He has just shifted or fired three officials: the minister of defense, the prime minister, and the ambassador to the United States. As the U.S. official told Hersh, Zelenskyy “is beginning to read the danger signs.”
What happens next, the official added, in terms of political violence inside Kiev and elsewhere, depends largely “on the degree to which the population has reached the point where they have no other choice. Zelenskyy will not go willingly but feet first. Herein lies a U.S. internal debate. Smart side says let the Ukrainians sort it out by themselves and not get the CIA involved to seal the deal. So far, good sense drives the policy. But some unnamed leaders are impatient and this will take time—more than fifty days”—the deadline Trump has given the Russians to begin serious negotiations and to implement a ceasefire.
Former UN Weapons Inspector Scott Ritter, in a post on Telegram, said that he considered the removal of Zelenskyy one possible reason for Trump giving Putin the 50-day deadline. In his interview with The LaRouche Oranization President Diane Sare on the TLO Symposium, Ritter said that Trump has reached an impasse in his Ukraine/Russia negotiations and wanted a pause to reset.
