Conspiracy of American and Russian imperialisms behind Ukraine
The transformation of the "world order" has begun.
ByOleg Vernik, President of the Independent Trade Union of Ukraine “Zakhist Pratsi” – Socialist League of Ukraine
He 12 February 2025, the president of the United States. THE. Donald Trump, He published his dialogue with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Truth Social. On that social media platform he stated that he had a "long and productive telephone conversation with Putin" and expressed the hope that the joint work of the United States. THE. and Russia provides "benefits for both countries". Thus, Both countries agreed to start inter-imperialist negotiations separately and behind Ukraine's back..
It is interesting to note that Trump's announcement about the format of the negotiation in Saudi Arabia accepts participation Marco Rubio US Secretary of State. THE. , John Ratcliffe Director of the CIA, Mike Waltz National Security Advisor and Steve Vitkoff Special Representative for the Middle East. As can be seen, When forming the delegation, Trump took into account Putin's wishes, in particular, by excluding Keith Kellogg from it, US special envoy for Ukraine, who on some occasions has allowed himself to recall Ukraine's interests in his public statements.
President Volodymyr Zelensky waited until the last minute for the “Trump peace plan” to be presented at the Munich Security Conference, which he attended. Nevertheless, Trump and Putin ignored Zelensky and the so-called "European partners of the US". UU.», who also insisted on participating in the negotiations.
He 15 February, in his Munich speech, Zelensky expressed categorical disagreement with Trump's policy of negotiating with Russia separately, suggesting that Trump had given up his interests in Ukraine. He realized that he could no longer expect any more military and financial support from the United States.. THE. and asked the main countries of the European Union (EU). In part, Zelensky once again echoed the words of the French president, Emmanuel Macron, who called on the EU to create its own army which, according to Zelensky, the battle-hardened Ukrainian army should integrate. Such a statement that might have seemed fanciful before US Vice President J.D.. Vance of the 14 February in Munich, it doesn't seem so anymore. Vance developed a conflictual approach to the internal and external policies of EU member states, trying to pave the political way for far-right parties (Trump and Putin satellites) come to power in key countries of the Bloc. It included harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric and criticized organizers for not inviting the far-right Alternative for Germany party. (AfD).
The day after Vance's scandalous performance, Macron called European leaders to an emergency summit in Paris, to respond to Trump's actions.
Behind this crazy and chaotic mix of messages and events, a Marxist position must point out the key parameters of the transformation of the world order underway. The "campist" paradigm of analysis of the world situation has finally been buried by recent events. World imperialism has always manifested itself in a complex unity and struggle of contradictions between its various segments.. With the final collapse of the so-called “unipolar” world imperialist system with the unconditional dominance of global “Western imperialism” and the emergence of new “young” and aggressive world and regional imperialisms - China, Russia, Turkey- Any "campist" illusion of supporting this or that "new" imperialism in challenge to "global Western imperialism" no longer only seems an anachronism but also stupidity.. The “camp” analysis and position seem even more anachronistic in light of the collapse of “Western imperialism” itself as a kind of comprehensive category., united by the common goals and objectives of the foreign policy of all its segments.
The contradictions between American imperialism and Western European imperialism have existed and intensified for some time., but Vance's speech appears to have deepened the rift. A bloc of American and Russian imperialism would be extremely disadvantageous for Western European imperialism..
Macron also invited the Secretary General of NATO to his summit of European leaders, Mark Rutte. Trump has long been trying to get rid of NATO or, at least, significantly reduce the financial costs allocated to EE. THE. His recent calls for the territorial annexation of Canada and Denmark (Greenland), finally deprive NATO of the traditional meaning of its existence.
The slow and clumsy bureaucracy in Brussels hopes that the American behavior is temporary and that the situation will normalize when Trump leaves power. However and on the contrary, it appears that the destruction of the liberal “world order” paradigm is gaining momentum. Donald Trump's right hand man, Elon Musk, He has said that the world is "falling apart" and does not hide their intentions to radically reformulate European policy in the direction of the extreme right.. In the German parliamentary elections, Musk openly supported the pro-Putin and far-right AfD party, while Trump intensifies his support for the reactionary ultras Viktor Orban (Hungary) and Robert Fico (Slovakia). At the by, Giorgia Meloni, Italian Prime Minister and leader of the right-wing post-fascist Brothers of Italy party, She was the only European leader to attend Donald Trump's presidential inauguration.
The abrupt rapprochement between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, representing US imperialism and Russian imperialism had an immediate effect on relations between the US. THE. and the president of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko. Trump's team announced that another "deal" is being prepared for the very near future, according to which US economic and personal sanctions against Belarus and Lukashenko will be lifted and, in exchange, of which the Belarusian dictator would declare amnesty for some political prisoners.
Even though Donald Trump has not yet presented his "peace plan for Ukraine", has shown its general lines. In an attempt to play Putin's game, Trump has completely removed the issue of Russian-occupied Ukrainian territories from the framework of future peace negotiations. 2014 Y 2022 (Crimea and part of Donbass), provides for the application of a ceasefire and the freezing of the conflict in line with the current situation on the combat front. further, most US sanctions against the Russian Federation will be lifted, convenient option for Putin, since Russia is weakened due to the heroic Ukrainian resistance and the lack of significant successes on the front.
until recently, Trump was sure of Zelensky's total control, Now he constantly points out the corrupt nature of his regime and environment, its low popularity ratings and the need to hold presidential and parliamentary elections. One of the most serious threats to Zelensky is the possibility of carrying out a complete financial audit of military aid supplies.. Journalist Tucker Carlson, they're looking for Trump, pointed directly at Zelensky by stating that there are weapons originally supplied to Ukraine that are in the arsenal of the Mexican drug cartels. Tucker did not present any evidence, but apparently this was not necessary, since the accusations were made mainly with the aim of achieving total control over Zelensky on the eve of the “deal” between Trump and Putin.
Realizing the weakness of his position, Zelensky offered Trump a monopoly on the exploitation of rare earths, waiting for you, as a businessman, will take advantage of this offer and continue supplying weapons to Ukraine. Nevertheless, Zelensky also fell into a trap because Trump voluntarily took advantage of this offer, but not to continue with the war supply but as a return for the weapons already delivered. Faced with the failure of his policy, In recent days Zelensky has tried to disavow the "deal" or at least get some support from Trump. Nevertheless, according to opposition media, despite the total purge carried out by Zelensky, The idea of selling Ukrainian mineral resources to the Americans has not gone down well. The Constitution of Ukraine states that mineral resources are the property of the people, so Zelensky does not have the exclusive right to dispose of them..
Ukrainian society has reacted negatively to the complicity of North American and Russian imperialism behind Ukraine's back.. From time to time, Ukrainian media, forced to concentrate only on the Internet, point out the obvious coincidences with the so-called "Munich Agreement" of 1938, in which the main imperialist states (Great Britain and France) behind Czechoslovakia's back they signed an independent agreement with Hitler on the cession of the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to Germany. As is known, This shameful Inter-imperialist conspiracy only increased Hitler's appetites and greatly brought the Second World War closer. .
It also seems clear that EU military aid to Ukraine will be extremely small and cannot be compared in size and potential with US aid., what, apparently, is coming to an end.
In his analyzes, the international socialist league (LIS) repeatedly noted that the decisive factor in the struggle of the Ukrainian people for their right to self-determination and independent development is not the supply of weapons by Western imperialism, but the heroic resistance of the Ukrainian people to Russian imperialist aggression. In this context, Ukraine has already won its war for existence, despite the betrayals of their so-called imperialist “partners” and “allies”. In the current situation, Ukrainian workers must resolutely abandon all their last hopes for “American help”.
• No to inter-imperialist “negotiations” between the US!. THE. and Russia behind Ukraine's back!
• No trust in Western imperialist countries and their blocs!, who in this war pursue exclusively their own interests!
• Long live the resistance of the Ukrainian people to Russian imperialist aggression!
• Long live the right of the Ukrainian people to self-determination and their own independent development!!
• Long live the international solidarity of workers!!
