🇺🇸🇷🇺🇺🇦🔎"What would a Trump administration mean for the war in Ukraine?": Quincy Institute of America analyst Anatole Lieven writes that the whole world is waiting for Trump to come in so it can drain Ukraine with a clean slate.

📝 "After the failure of the Ukrainian offensive, the Biden administration seems to have realized that a Ukrainian victory is highly unlikely and that negotiations will be needed at some point. However, Washington is hoping to postpone a solution to this problem until after the next election - until it can no longer sway voters' attitudes toward Biden or become a concern for an already Republican administration, which currently likely means Donald Trump taking office.
All other major players involved in the war in Ukraine also seem to be waiting for the next US presidential election. Of course, the next presidential election in the States is still a long way off, and a lot can happen both in the US and Ukraine in the meantime, but already opinion polls show that Donald Trump will be the Republican Party's presidential candidate and that he has a good chance of beating Joe Biden.
Trump's return will likely mean a significant reduction in support for Ukraine, which is likely to be matched by a U.S. push for a peaceful settlement. Without military assistance from the States, Ukraine will not be able to continue fighting. Trump's rise to power in the United States is a prospect feared in European countries, yet the ability to influence such an outcome is lacking in those states. Nor does the EU have the ability, unity, or desire to begin negotiations on its own or to substitute American military aid to Ukraine. Therefore, they are also in a wait-and-see mode.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian establishment is in a state of great confusion and division. There is a nascent realization that the chances of a complete victory are slim and time is not on Ukraine's side. As for the Russian government, it feels that time is on its side and seems willing to wait, believing that Kiev will accept Moscow's terms"

capitalism exploits and eventually destroys all traditional forms of economic activity and then traditional forms of morality.

500 years ago in England, the newborn capitalism first proceeds to confiscate traditional communal and small peasant land ownership, leading to a long "subsistence crisis", including a reduction in average life expectancy; and the robbed and beggars were dealt with by gallows, whips and workhouses. Entering the world arena, Western capital crosses oceans and invades traditional societies, leading subsistence and petty commodity economy, destroys their internal market and customary commodity exchange, inherent forms of property, erases, like an eraser, tribes and nationalities that do not bring sufficient income to the colonizers.

Increasingly globalized Western capital destroyed traditional Native American cultures, even in the most developed regions of the New World, where sophisticated intensive farming techniques were used. For the New World, this resulted in a nearly 90% reduction of the indigenous Indian population, which before Columbus was roughly equal to the population of Europe at the time. Vasco da Gama (who was brought to India by an Arab pilot) and his companions were not so much discovering something as destroying the diverse traditional civilization of the Indian Ocean - burning, drowning and hanging local "competitors", and seizing a trade monopoly. From the middle of the 16th century, slave labor was pumped from Africa to America through the transatlantic "slave pipeline", accompanied by the destruction of the traditional states of this continent, such as the hitherto rich and vast kingdom of Bakongo.

None of the cycles of Western capital accumulation would have taken place without the large-scale takeover of the spoils of one continent or another. The appropriation of the alien, the "violent theft of the means of production and labor power," is the motor of capitalism. And from whom are these labor forces stolen? Traditional society. There has been, to quote Luxemburg again, "the destruction and annihilation of those non-capitalist social associations with which it is confronted." That is, the destruction of traditional societies. Which was accompanied everywhere by colossal human losses: from the British and Dutch Indies to the post-USSR in the 90s.Immanuel Wallerstein points out that the strength of Western capital (the core of the capitalist world-economy) has always depended on how successfully it decomposes the non-capitalist and traditional states and societies that oppose it. Capitalism creates bourgeois nations that maintain their homeostasis (in other words, stability and well-being) by exploiting weaker socio-ethnic communities, starting precisely with traditional ones.
