Peace now 🕊️🇪🇺 The Ukraine War Will End With Negotiations #shorts

By late August 2022, the West’s focus on Russia’s war in Ukraine was diminishing. The two sides were bogged down in an extended stalemate, freeing Western leaders from making difficult choices or thinking too hard about the future of the conflict. Events since early September—dramatic Ukrainian gains, followed by Russian mobilization, annexations, missile attacks on civilian areas, and nuclear threats—have shattered that illusion, pushing the war into a new and more dangerous phase.

Since the start of the war, the Biden administration has effectively maintained a balanced realpolitik approach: arming and funding Ukraine yet continuing to make clear that the United States will not engage directly in the conflict. But the administration has avoided talking about one crucial area of war strategy altogether: how it might end. Experts and policymakers who have suggested that the United States should also support diplomatic efforts aimed at a negotiated settlement have been treated as naïve or borderline treasonous. Driving the administration’s skittishness about endgames, then, are questions of morality: many argue that it is immoral to push Ukraine toward a settlement.

But nearly all wars end in negotiations. Moscow’s escalation this fall raises the twin specters of a broader war with NATO and of the use of nuclear weapons. The global economic costs of the conflict are already enormous and will almost certainly increase with the onset of winter. Even if a negotiated end to the war seems impossible today, the Biden administration should begin to raise—both publicly and to its partners—the difficult questions that such an approach would entail. It must think through the right timing to push for negotiations and at what point the costs of continuing to fight will outweigh the benefits. In seeking a sustainable settlement, the administration must also figure out how to capitalize on Ukraine’s successes without setting the stage for further conflict. To prepare for the best deal, American policymakers must maintain a common front between the West and Ukraine, take account of Ukrainian and Russian domestic politics, and embrace flexibility, particularly in working out which sanctions against Russia can be lifted without strengthening Putin’s regime. If the administration does not prepare soon, it may find its carefully calibrated response to the war being overtaken by a dangerous fantasy of absolute victory.

NOT IF BUT HOW
In the eight months since the Russian invasion, the Biden administration’s support has allowed Ukraine to retake territory and inflict heavy damage on Russian forces while keeping the risk of large-scale escalation relatively low. The administration has also carefully avoided talking about what comes next, claiming that it is up to Ukrainians to decide what is in their best interest. But maintaining that position is becoming more difficult now that Russian President Vladimir Putin has doubled down on the war and made blatant nuclear threats against the West. Putin has chosen to take significant new risks rather than to back down, suggesting that this war will not end through simple Russian capitulation. Though these risks seem manageable for now, the time may come when negotiations are necessary to forestall catastrophe.

At the same time, the economic fallout of the war is rapidly growing. In Ukraine, public finances have been ravaged; the country is running out of cash. As the economic historian Adam Tooze put it in September, “Unless Ukraine’s allies step up their financial assistance, there is every reason to fear both a social and a political crisis on the home front.” Europe, meanwhile, is trapped in its own tightening noose, as surging energy prices exacerbate inflation and raise the prospect of a deep recession. All this makes the administration’s position—that Kyiv alone will decide when the war ends—increasingly untenable.

In reality, the question is not whether negotiations are needed to end the war but when and how they should unfold. Yet policymakers must contend with a Catch-22: the better Ukrainian forces perform on the battlefield, the more difficult it is to discuss a negotiated settlement, even though it is to Ukraine’s advantage to negotiate from a position of strength. As the risk of Russian escalation grows, so does the prospect that any Western leader who talks about ending the war will be portrayed as unrealistic, immoral, or caving to “nuclear blackmail.” But internal discussions on acceptable settlement terms now would better position all parties when the opportunity for such a deal does arise.

The vision from Jesus Christ that HE commanded all people, all nations, to tell.

From a hill you saw the valley of vision.
Over the valley you saw a full white moon.
Around the moon and aura colored bronze.
It was night and all the stars were removed.

In the valley you saw a river curved like a letter '('. There was no wind on the still waters nor on the valley. The river wide as a street.

On the left side of the valley you saw a row of straight thin branches trees. There was no curved place on those trees. Silver and Grey of color.
On top of the straight trees a single group of bright green leaves. Those leaves all the size of a man's hand.

On the right side you saw a square pit of unknown depth. Cut straight down into the ground, the opening about 10 meters square.

Inside the pit you saw sand that glittered like gold dust, but was not gold. It was sand, for the pit was not full.

Inside the pit you saw people cut into pieces and thier members mixed. None were dead. None were bleeding. None could move. A torso cut through the belly at an angle was at the center top of the head. A bald head, severed, eyes rolled up, and half its brains were not there.

Behind the pit you saw two short creatures in wedding clothes. Both creatures were the same, having enormous heads, mainged hair, pointing ears, polished brass buckles on thier shoes, black clothes pinstriped white. Southern string ties.
The short creature on the right held a severed man's left leg.

On the foot of the man's leg a clean white sock and a dirty fashionable square toe black shoe.
You saw that creature holding the leg cut the foot off of it on a spinning rusted circular saw.

After the foot was cut off the short creature on the left lifted its hands, as though praising God. Neither creature spoke any words, and those enjoyed what they were doing.

You saw the foot cut off did not bleed.

Behind the two short creatures, in the vision Jesus showed you, you saw a crooked spinning path.

Circle saws spinning of themselves, all parallel, in a crooked path. Not more than four in a diagonal row. Made of cankered gold and silver, each saw was bigger around in size than your outstretched arms. Each saw was half in the ground and half out of the ground.

The only sound you heard in the vision Jesus commanded you to tell was the whirring of the spinning. That sound jumped a quaver when the foot was cut off and then went back to the same tone of spin as before. The circles were made only for cutting. No other purpose did they serve.

On the furthest right side of the valley you saw palm trees. Those trunks also were branches, and had no straight place on them, all curved, all branches.
Under those palm trees you saw weeds.
The large palm leaves were dark green of colourand on the upper half. The lower half were dark green of colour with orange red colored centers.

You saw green grass in the valley. It is the green pastures in PSALM 23. The green grass means that every one on earth and in heaven saw this same vision from Jesus Christ. For the vision toucheth upon all flesh.
