    Silicon Bites - #61 - If he Chooses to There are More than 10 Ways Trump can Completely Screw Russia

    · Silicon Curtain

    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 Russia00:09:25 One - Response to escalation00:15:00 Two - Indifference to Biden's red lines00:19:52 Three - Drill to deflate oil prices00:22:05 Four - Divide China from Russia00:26:05 Five - Demand peace, with ultimatums00:27:51 Six - Enforce component sanctions on adversaries and allies00:30:18 Seven - Deter and degrade Russia's proxies and partners00:31:51 Eight - Destroy NATO's credibility00:36:13 Nine - Provocations escalate00:40:26 Ten - Russian hubris triggers Trump00:44:51 Summary~~~~~SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA 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/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

    545. John Lough - The Four Possible Outcomes to the Ukraine War and Russia's Ambitions to Target Europe

    · Silicon Curtain

    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-loughhttps://x.com/JohnLough ----------SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain----------TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

    Silicon Bites - #60 - The 10% Ally. Will Trump be Any Better? Is Stark Reality Better than Delusion?

    · Silicon Curtain

    Edition No60 | 07-11-2024 - This is a piece I had planned on writing as a rebuke to Biden administration, in the event of a Kamala Harris victory. Perhaps the topic becomes even more urgent now, as the US government enters a transition phase to a second Trump term of office. With the US apparently supplying only 10% of the promised and approved aid to Ukraine that was mandated in the April aid bill, we must ask, can Trump really be much worse than this? It’s a point Ukrainians have been making for some time – that delusions and weakness under the Democrats may be more dangerous than facing the stark reality of a Trump presidency.~~~~~SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISERA 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~~~~~At the start of November Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Ukraine’s allies to stop just ‘watching’ amid the threat from North Korea, and before the troops sent to Russia by Pyongyang reached the battlefields of Kursk and Donbas. The geopolitical rubbernecking continued, and little seems to have been done of any impact. No new supplies to address the significantly escalatory threat and no lifting of existing of red lines. Pathetically John Kirby announced that ‘no new red lines’ would be imposed in response to Russia’s successful attempts to drag North Korea into the war, a statement that has the deterrence power of brandishing a limp lettuce to deter a charging bull. ~~~~~SUPPORT THE CHANNEL:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtainhttps://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain~~~~~NEWS SOURCES: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/02/volodymyr-zelenskyy-urges-allies-to-stop-just-watching-amid-north-korea-threathttps://www.independent.co.uk/news/ap-ukraine-russia-kyiv-vladimir-putin-b2640107.htmlhttps://euromaidanpress.com/2024/10/31/ukraine-has-received-only-10-of-latest-us-aid-package-zelenskyy-reveals/https://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/zelenskyy-criticises-poland-for-failing-on-military-aid-and-defence-front/https://www.politico.eu/article/volodymyr-zelenskyy-confirms-tomahawk-missiles-victory-plan-blasts-us-for-giving-away-secrets-ukraine-white-house-russia-war-leak/~~~~~USEFUL LINKS:Vatnik Souphttps://twitter.com/P_Kallioniemihttp://www.medbat.org.ua/en/ Real World Newshttps://kyivindependent.com/https://www.kyivpost.com/https://english.nv.ua/https://www.themoscowtimes.com/https://meduza.io/enhttps://meduza.io/https://novayagazeta.eu/https://www.newsweek.com/topic/russia...Analysishttps://www.ft.com/russiahttps://www.economist.com/https://www.foreignaffairs.com/https://cepa.org/https://www.atlanticcouncil.org/https://www.theatlantic.com/search/?s...~~~~~TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND:kharpp - Reconstruction project supporting communities in Kharkiv and Przemyslhttps://kharpp.com/Save Ukrainehttps://www.saveukraineua.org/Superhumans - Hospital for war traumashttps://superhumans.com/en/UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Russian operations have now reached unprecedented levels. It seems the main aim is to increase the costs of supporting Ukraine, while at the same time slowing the delivery of military supplies. Russian operations are increasingly organised around ‘gig-economy’ principles. The dangers are mounting from operations that have an element of plausible deniability, that can scale, while causing significant damage and sowing terror. ----------LINKS: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/03071847.2024.2401232 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.1080/03071847.2024.2401232?needAccess=true https://news.sky.com/story/mi6-and-cia-warn-of-reckless-campaign-of-sabotage-across-europe-being-waged-by-russia-13210838https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cp8e15yr1gwo----------BIOGRAPHIES: Daniela Richterova is Associate Professor in Intelligence Studies at the Department of War Studies, King’s College London.
