Peace on the continent requires breaking the imperialist legacy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Any outcome of the Ukraine conflict framed as a \u2018compromise\u2019 would be celebrated in the West as a victory and perceived as a failure by Russia. This must be avoided at all costs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

First, Russia must openly confront Western Europe\u2019s historical culpability. It\u2019s not the \u2018garden\u2019 its elites imagine but a field of fat weeds thriving on the blood of hundreds of millions it has enslaved, murdered, and robbed. Calling Western Europe out for its crimes \u2013 from colonialism to warmongering \u2013 legitimizes our potential use of nuclear deterrence as a justified response to aggression.<\/p>\n

Second, Russia must emphasize the inevitability of nuclear escalation in any conflict between NATO and Russia. This message is essential not only to limit an arms race but also to underscore the futility of stockpiling conventional weapons that will be rendered irrelevant in a nuclear confrontation. NATO\u2019s leaders must understand that they cannot avoid the consequences of their actions.<\/p>\n

Third, we must continue advancing on the battlefield, destroying the enemy\u2019s forces with relentless precision. However, it is equally critical to declare that Russia\u2019s patience is finite. For every Russian soldier killed, we must make clear that a thousand Western Europeans will pay the price if their governments persist in waging war against us. The public over there must understand that their elites are preparing to sacrifice them, and nuclear weapons will not discriminate between soldiers and civilians. Western European capitals will be among the first targets of our retaliation.<\/p>\n

Fourth, Russia must communicate to the Americans that their continued escalation of the Ukraine conflict will lead to catastrophic consequences. Should they persist, we will cross the nuclear Rubicon, targeting their allies and bases worldwide. Any non-nuclear response will provoke a nuclear strike on American soil. This clarity will force Washington to reconsider its reckless policies.<\/p>\n

Fifth, we must strengthen our military capabilities while continuing to adjust our nuclear doctrine. If diplomacy fails, we must escalate decisively, demonstrating our readiness to use advanced weapons to defend Russia\u2019s sovereignty and interests. While new technologies such as the Oreshnik missile system enhance our capabilities, they are no substitute for nuclear weapons, which remain the ultimate guarantor of our security.<\/p>\n

Finally, Russia must offer the United States a dignified exit from its self-inflicted Ukrainian disaster. We have no desire to humiliate America but are prepared to help it extricate itself from this quagmire, provided it abandons its destructive policies. At the same time, Western Europe must be sidelined from global decision-making. It has become the primary threat to itself and the world.<\/p>\n

If America withdraws, Ukraine\u2019s defeat will follow swiftly. Russia will reclaim its rightful territories in the east and south, while a neutral, demilitarized state is established in central and western Ukraine. Those unwilling to live under Russian law will be free to relocate. Peace can only be achieved by removing Western Europe as a destabilizing force and addressing humanity\u2019s broader challenges alongside the global majority.<\/p>\n

True peace will only come when Western Europe\u2019s backbone is broken once more, as it was after Russia\u2019s victories over Napoleon and Hitler. The current elites must be replaced by a new generation capable of engaging in constructive dialogue. Only then can Europe rejoin the world as a responsible partner, not a source of perpetual conflict.<\/p>\n

The stakes are clear: This is not just a battle for Russia\u2019s future, but for the survival of human civilization as we know it.<\/p>\n
