Edition No62 | 19-11-2024 - Scholz's call with Putin risks opening a 'Pandora's Box,' warns Zelensky. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's has been calling Putin again, and it risks opening a "Pandora's box," says Zelensky. He’s not the only one. Manby leaders both publicly and privately have pointed out how unilateral and misguided are Scholz's actions. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- This could potentially be leading to "other conversations and other calls," Zelensky warned, running the risk of normalising Russia as a country and Putin as a statesman. This is the first time Scholz has spoken in nearly two years. The German chancellor condemned Russia’s war in Ukraine, urged Putin to withdraw his troops, and discussed potential talks with Kyiv. The response was swift, as Russia launched one of its largest strikes against Ukrainian energy infrastructure and cities of the war. More on that in a minute. Scholz had informed Zelensky in advance of his intention to call Putin. Zelensky reportedly responded, "This will just make Putin feel that the isolation is decreasing.” Zelensky criticized any negotiations that could ease Russia's isolation without meaningful outcomes. "It is extremely important for Putin to loosen his isolation, Russia's isolation, and to conduct ordinary negotiations that will not result in anything — as he has been doing for decades," Zelensky said. See Minsk 1 and 2 – attempts to trick the international community, gaslight the media and grind Ukraine down. Zelensky reiterated there would be no "Minsk-3.” ---------- NEWS SOURCES: https://kyivindependent.com/scholzs-call-with-putin-risks-opening-a-pandoras-box-zelensky-warns/ https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-war-latest-russia-launches-one-of-the-largest-aerial-strikes-on-ukraine-energy-grid-damage-eu-has-convincing-evidence-of-reported-chinese-attack-drone-production-for-russia/ https://kyivindependent.com/north-korean-delivers-70-missile-launchers-artillery-systems-to-russias-kursk-oblast/ https://kyivindependent.com/russia-producing-thermobaric-drones-capable-of-causing-simply-terrifying-damage-to-civilians-ap-reports/ https://kyivindependent.com/nyt-biden-authorizes-ukraine-to-target-russia-with-us-long-range-missiles/ https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/11/17/7484975/ https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/france-and-britain-greenlight-ukraine-s-use-1731872568.html https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1858395630520930466.html ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Edition No61 | 15-11-2024 - This episode focuses on opportunities for the Trump administration to win in Ukraine. It does not mean he will adopt them or be minded to embrace similar measures. Only the choices he makes, and discernible actions he takes when his administration assumes power, will tell the truth about what’s in his mind. His choices may also be guided by events, rather than any premeditated strategy. That means we need to be agile, and ready to inject ideas and opportunities into policy, as there may be a deficit of them within the administration. Especially if Putin turns on Trump, or vice versa. ~~~~~ CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 Ten ways to screw up Russia 00:09:25 One - Response to escalation 00:15:00 Two - Indifference to Biden's red lines 00:19:52 Three - Drill to deflate oil prices 00:22:05 Four - Divide China from Russia 00:26:05 Five - Demand peace, with ultimatums 00:27:51 Six - Enforce component sanctions on adversaries and allies 00:30:18 Seven - Deter and degrade Russia's proxies and partners 00:31:51 Eight - Destroy NATO's credibility 00:36:13 Nine - Provocations escalate 00:40:26 Ten - Russian hubris triggers Trump 00:44:51 Summary ~~~~~ SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ~~~~~ But a hallmark of his tenure in the Oval office is likely to be uncertainty and surprise. Of course, this is the opposite of the crushingly predictable, obvious, and cautious actions of Biden, guided by the Sullivan Doctrine. Soft appeasement and self-deterring de-escalation have given way to uncertainty. This episode is intended to be a catalyst of ideas, and to stimulate the pro-Ukraine community to seek opportunity, not despair. Whether consciously or accidentally, here are ten ways that Trump could screw Russia. Those who voted for Trump see an opportunity, those who opposed him see only drs closing, and incipient authoritarianism and chaos. Russian propaganda is expert at driving this edge wider and making it more toxic. It’s incumbent on us to find ways to close the gap in perception, and counter propagandistic narratives. Trump made his core campaign slogan – close to commitment – to stop the wars. - War does not stop. Wars will not stop. The move towards rules-based global competitor has turned to scrabbling rivalry, increasingly fractious and lawless. We call it the international order – others just see the biggest gang on the street. We’ve not seen that it’s gone, while countries in the periphery of it will likely not mourn its passing, because in the short-term it’s in their financial interests. The long-term stability of international order probably always seemed contingent for them on the maintenance on Western military hegemony. That’s passing too. ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

The international response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine remains inadequate to the task of achieving a full victory and often lags dangerously behind requirements. There is now a fear that the Western response is even inadequate to maintain an unhealthy status quo, and that Russia is now making advanced against a depleted and exhausted Ukraine. Meanwhile Western backers debate the war’s likely endgame and its aftermath, without a clear sense of how Ukraine’s allies can shape the outcome. In this context, John Lough of Chatham House has produced a timely analysis that examines Four scenarios for how the war in Ukraine will end. ---------- There are four possible outcomes for Russia’s full-scale war on Ukraine: ‘long war’, ‘frozen conflict’, ‘victory for Ukraine’ and ‘defeat for Ukraine’. Regardless of which scenario emerges, the far-reaching and traumatic sociological, economic and political impacts of the war will be inescapable. Chatham House briefing (Updated 21 October 2024) Published 16 October 2024 (ISBN: 978 1 78413 626 0) An earlier version of this paper was funded by the Secretary of State’s Office for Net Assessment and Challenge (SONAC) within the UK Ministry of Defence. This briefing paper was supported in part through a grant from the Open Society Foundations. ---------- John Lough is an associate fellow of the Russia and Eurasia Programme at Chatham House and the Head of International at the New Eurasian Strategies Centre, a London-based think-tank. He studied German and Russian at Cambridge University and began his career as an analyst at the Soviet Studies (later Conflict Studies) Research Centre, focusing on Soviet/Russian security policy. He spent six years with NATO and was the first alliance representative to be based in Moscow (1995–98). He gained direct experience of the Russian oil and gas industry at TNK-BP as a manager in the company’s international affairs team (2003–08). From 2008 to 2024, he worked in consultancy alongside his role with Chatham House. He has written extensively on governance and anti-corruption issues in Ukraine and is the author of Germany’s Russia Problem, published by Manchester University Press (2021). ---------- LINKS: https://www.chathamhouse.org/2024/10/four-scenarios-end-war-ukraine/about-author https://www.chathamhouse.org/2023/06/how-end-russias-war-ukraine https://www.chathamhouse.org/about-us/our-people/john-lough https://www.highgate.ltd/john-lough https://x.com/JohnLough ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.
