Blogpost # M. 232  “A TALE OF TWO VLADIMIRS” *

Before Vladimir Putin’s atavistic, and illegal assault on the democratic Nation of Ukraine (2022), there has been no significant war since the Second World War. Russia’s unprovoked attack was an inarguable and egregious articulation of Russia’s autocratic Premier, Vladimir Putin’s assertion of his delusional Ceasar-like power, dedicated to the forceful reprise of the USSR, presumably. encouraged by his easy grab of Ukraine’s Crimea and the Donbas.

In concert with most right-thinking inhabitants of the Planet, we are outraged at the convening of the “Peace Conference” at which Donald Trump’s “Bro-Mate,” and the aggressor, Vladimir Putin, will be represented, but, bizarrely and unjustifiably, without the rational and fair representation of the victim, Ukraine’s democratic President, Vladimir Zelinsky.

Nevertheless, such justified outrage is somewhat ameliorated in consideration of the starkly evident contrast between the respective position of the publically embarrassed and deprecated, would-be “Alexander the Great,” Vladimir Putin, and the contrasting Vladimir i.e., Ukraine’s President. Zelensky.

Putin, in his ego-delusional, publically broadcasted assertion that Ukraine would be summarily defeated in three days, has, nevertheless, expended billions of dollars and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his egomaniacal venture, which, has empirically, lasted more than three years.

It will be recalled that said delusional, self-identified Caesar, has famously broadcast photos of himself, heroically posed, in gladiator fashion, riding a horse, bare-chested. In demonstrated reality, he is a faux strongman, under the existential control of a coarse cadre of Russian mafia, composed of rich oligarchs, and a leader who is empirically able to remain in power by poisoning and imprisoning his detractors,

By bright contrast, President Vladimir Zelensky, democratically elected by the popular vote of the people of Ukraine, has further elevated and endeared himself to his Nation and the free world by his dignified demonstration of steadfast courage and patriotism. [It is revealing that, among the propagandic justifications of Putin for his egregious aggression, was his meme that Ukraine is a “fascist” State since its Vladimir is Jewish; irrefutably, not a historically empirical choice of fascism].

We adamantly disapprove of the Trump administration’s decision to convene a dystopic peace conference in the absence of one of the parties involved in the contextual war (as we are ineluctably, non-plussed and concerned about all matters, Trumpian), but we can glean a bit of satisfaction in the knowledge that the egotistic Putin, with the assistance of our disreputable Chief Executive, is desperately attempting, and will predictably fail, to save face.
