Biden Launches “Desperate
Gambit” To End
By: Sorcha Faal,
and as reported to her Western Subscribers
A compelling new Security Council (SC) report circulating in the Kremlin today first noting President Putin declaring: “Russia, as a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council, will continue to contribute to the settlement of acute regional and global problems, consistently defend approaches to ensure equal and indivisible security, to form a fair system of international economic relations, free from unfair competition, unilateral sanctions and politically motivated restrictions”, says this declaration was joined by top Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov factually telling reporters: “President Putin has repeatedly stated that achieving our goals in the conflict with Kiev is our top priority...And we would prefer to do that through political and diplomatic means...We are still ready for negotiations...Kiev itself had derailed the talks with Moscow that were held in the Spring of 2022...Ukrainian officials have themselves admitted that it was done on the orders of the United Kingdom”.
Instead of seeking negotiations before his nation is completely obliterated, this report notes, socialist Western colonial puppet leader Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky will address United States Senators at a classified briefing today via a secure video conference feed, about which it was reported: “Zelensky will brief senators on the state of the war in Ukraine and the need for another round of military aid a day before the Senate is scheduled to vote on proceeding to the legislative vehicle for a $106 billion emergency foreign aid package that includes more than $61 billion for Ukraine”—and last evening, top socialist Democrat Party lawmaker Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer posted the notice: “The administration has invited President Zelensky to address senators as part of our classified briefing tomorrow so we can hear directly from him precisely what’s at stake in this vote”.
Prior to hearing what puppet leader President Zelensky has to say, this report continues, top Republican Party lawmaker Senator Ron Johnson assessed: “The war between Russia and Ukraine is not a fair fight...The only way this war ends is in a negotiated settlement...We're not gonna like the result...Russia will not lose this war”—an assessment joined by the article “Clock Ticks Down On Ukraine Aid As Senate Border Talks Falter”, wherein it revealed: “Time is running short for lawmakers to provide aid to Ukraine as talks among Senate negotiators over a possible border security package are faltering...Republicans say taking action on the border is necessary to unlock money for Kyiv, and the White House said Monday it would run out of money for Ukraine by the end of the year without congressional action...But talks broke down in recent days as negotiators struggled to advance the ball”—a revelation quickly joined by top Republican Party lawmaker House Speaker Mike Johnson declaring: “The Biden Administration has failed to substantively address any of my conference’s legitimate concerns about the lack of a clear strategy in Ukraine, a path to resolving the conflict, or a plan for adequately ensuring accountability for aid provided by American taxpayers...Meanwhile, the Administration is continually ignoring the catastrophe at our own border...House Republicans have resolved that any national security supplemental package must begin with our own border...We believe both issues can be agreed upon if Senate Democrats and the White House will negotiate reasonably”.
Joining NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg warning the socialist Western colonial powers: “Be prepared for bad news from Ukraine”, this report details, today it was shockingly reported: “President Zelensky communicates with some commanders of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, avoiding Commander-in-Chief General Valerii Zaluzhnyi and preventing him from holding overall command of the army”—and as puppet leader President Zelensky battles to the death against his top military commander General Zaluzhnyi, the hugely popular Kyiv Mayor Vitaly Klichko picked a side with his just issued scathing proclamation: “General Zaluzhnyi told the truth...Sometimes people don't want to hear it...Of course we can euphorically lie to our people and our partners...But you can't do that forever...Some of our politicians have wrongly criticized Zaluzhnyi for his honesty...I stand with him”.
Over the past 24 hours, this report notes, the leftist Washington Post, that’s best known for being “the official mouthpiece of the CIA”, released its two-article series “Miscalculations, Divisions Marked Offensive Planning By U.S., Ukraine” and “In Ukraine, A War Of Incremental Gains As Counteroffensive Stalls”, about which the anonymous American military and intelligence experts at the Moon of Alabama organization assessed in their just released document “The War In Ukraine Is Done”:
The Washington Post has

As the expected launch of the offensive approached, Ukrainian military officials feared they

equipped with the newest Western weapons, entered battle with no combat
experience.
The commander of
Each side blamed the other for mistakes or
miscalculations. U.S. military officials concluded that Ukraine had fallen
short in basic military tactics, including the use of ground reconnaissance to
understand the density of minefields. Ukrainian officials said the Americans
didn’t seem to comprehend how attack drones and other technology had
transformed the battlefield.
In all,
All those points played a
role.
My personal ones:

Air support would not have helped. Russian air defenses are too strong to
counter it.
The decision to use barely trained, 'green'
brigades without any fighting experience was a serious error.
Not to use smoke grenades and, in general, means of
deception, was not reasonable at all.
To have half of the new troops, the more experienced
part, fight Zelenski's already lost battle for
Bakhmut, was a major political mistake.
All
together made sure that the so called 'counter-offensive' never had a chance to take off.
The bickering now is just an attempt to put the blame for the failure
onto the other side of the table.
The Ukrainian General Zaluzny has learned from the battle. He now puts up somewhat realistic numbers to

Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhnyi Asked
Pentagon Chief For 17 Million Rounds Of Ammunition
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin was informed during
a visit to Kyiv that Ukraine needed 17 million rounds of ammunition and that
US$ 350-400 billion worth of assets and personnel would be required to liberate
the country.
Quote from a senior Defence Forces official: "
The Ukrainian army does not
have the ten thousands of barrels required to fire 17 million rounds. Nor has it the men to feed those imaginary
guns.
Zaluzny obviously thinks that the war is
lost and done with. And that it is time
for politics that pursue peace:
In addition, according to a source,
However, the President’s
Office is inclined to believe that Zaluzhnyi’s
dismissal would facilitate his political career.
It is high time for the Biden administration to
wrap this whole thing up. Do the usual
thing: declare victory, leave and forget-about-it.
With it not known if Supreme Socialist Leader Joe Biden will end the failed proxy war against Russia using his corrupt puppet state Ukraine before the CIA ends him, this report concludes, world-renowned Russian historian Gilbert Doctorow, Ph.D., in his just released open letter “Seymour Hersh, Anatol Lieven And The Desperate DC Gambit To End Hostilites In Ukraine While Claiming 'Victory'”, assessed:
Several days ago, the
renowned, Pulitzer prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh
published on his substack.com account an article entitled “General to General. A potential peace is being negotiated in
To be specific, Hersh said
that secret talks about a possible peace are presently being conducted by
The main attention grabbing
paragraph in the article was the following:
“The driving force of those
talks has not been Washington or Moscow, or Biden or Putin, but instead the two
high-ranking generals who run the war, Valery Gerasimov of Russia and Valery
Zaluzhny of Ukraine”.
The next most sensational
point in the article was that part of the settlement foresees Russian
acceptance of
And the final key element
in the settlement that would reward Russia for its acquiescence on NATO
membership would be Ukraine’s recognition of Crimea as irrevocably Russian and
the holding of a referendum in the Donbas and Novorossiya
(Zaporozhie and Kherson) oblasts that were liberated
by Russia and then joined the Russian Federation, a measure which in effect
would be a fig-leaf for formal settlement of the fate of these territories as
Russian once and for all.
This article has been
widely commented upon in anti-establishment media outlets, which for the most
part find Hersh’s revelations to be so incredible as to be unworthy of serious
discussion. In a review article carried
by the unofficial Chinese journal Asia Times, Stephen Bryen
suggests that ‘Hersh has been sold a bill of goods, or duped…’ See “Is Hersh
story on secret
In what follows, I will
consider
1. why
2. how elements in the story have been appearing in the
writings of other more consciously (com)pliant journalists in recent weeks as a
face saving ‘exit ramp’ from the failed Ukrainian adventure is being prepared
by the White House
3. what from among the incredible elements exposed by Hersh may
actually have some factual basis and give us a foretaste of the end-game in
After passing through a
number of years in relative obscurity, after being blacklisted by all U.S.
mainstream media outlets, Seymour Hersh emerged
center-stage this past February when he published on his substack
account a lengthy article which set out in great detail how the bombing of the Nordstream I pipeline was planned and carried out under
instructions from the White House and Biden’s close advisers.
Though Washington formally
denied any involvement in what was arguably the biggest act of state terrorism
in history, and though Germany and other interested states in Europe have since
done their utmost to divert attention to a cock-and-bull story of Ukrainian
responsibility for the bombing of Nord Stream I, Hersh’s account was an expose
worthy of the journalistic exploits that once won him the Pulitzer and it
remains highly persuasive.
Of course, at age 86 Hersh did not go out and
track down the story he published in February.
It was brought to him on a silver platter from unidentified sources,
i.e. actors within the Administration whose motives remain unclear.
The unidentified sources
who have now brought the story of secret negotiations between Russian and
Ukrainian generals to end the war could count on Hersh’s profound ignorance of
Here the motives of the ‘leakers’ are not hard to find: Hersh was indeed being duped in an operation to condition
Western publics for an end to the
Let me be perfectly clear:
the notion that Russia’s General Gerasimov could on his own volition enter into
talks with his Ukrainian opposite number to end the hostilities is a notion
that can be entertained only by someone who fails to comprehend what the ‘vertical of power’ in Russia is all about.
At the same time,
presumably to illustrate the high standing of Gerasimov, Hersh has placed at
the very start of his article a photo of Putin and Gerasimov seated face to
face under which we read the following caption:
“Russian President Vladimir Putin meeting with
General Valery Gerasimov at the headquarters of the Russian armed forces in
Rostov-on-Don in October”
This photo is more
interesting than Hersh and most readers of his article could imagine. Indeed, this very meeting in October was
given video coverage on prime time Russian television on the day it occurred.
We saw how Putin arrived by
car well after dark following a flight to the Rostov headquarters by
helicopter, how he shook hands with Gerasimov and with Defense Minister Shoigu
who was also present; then we were shown how Putin departed. There was not a word about
the content of these top level talks. Only a couple of
days later in a dedicated television news segment did we learn that Russia had
just carried out a full scale test of the battle readiness of all three arms of
its strategic nuclear triad, which may be described as a direct message to
Washington to proceed with great care in the Ukraine war and to think twice
before authorizing any further escalation of its deliveries to Kiev of advanced
offensive weapons.
A similar news report on
Russian state television less than two weeks ago showed Putin, Gerasimov and
Shoigu holding talks in secret at the Rostov-on-Don military headquarters. However, in the time since then no extraordinary event in the
war or in overall military activities that could be matched with the talks in
Rostov. I believe that Putin’s preparing Gerasimov
for a meeting with Zaluzhny would fit that description.
At the same time, it is
fantasy to think that Ukraine’s general Zaluzhny would risk accusations of treason
if he were on his own, acting out of ambition or out of motives to save what is
left of the Ukrainian armed forces, to defy President Zelensky and the standing
decree prohibiting talks with the Russians so long as Putin remains in power.
To suggest that he was
doing so because he received backing from
Let us instead, turn things
around: Zaluzhny
would assume the role of savior of the nation only at the urging and with
ironclad guarantees of protection coming from the Biden administration.
The elements of a possible
peace set out in the Hersh article have been circulating for weeks now in the
publications and television appearances of mainstream U.S. journalists and
academics. There are numerous variations
in the combinations of compromises that both Ukrainian and Russian sides are
called upon to make according to which academic or pundit is penning any given
article.
Let us pause for a moment
to look at what one widely read academic / journalist is saying. I have in mind
Anatol Lieven and his latest article
published on responsiblestatecraft.org:
“Biden’s Role In
Ukraine Peace Is Clear Now”.
In popular estimation,
Lieven is a middle of the road expert with great depth of experience reporting
on
Going back more than a
year, Lieven was especially sympathetic to the Ukrainian side in the war, never
more so than when he returned from a visit to
His message today has changed 180 degrees and yet
he seeks to find a way to present defeat as victory, in keeping with the boys
in the White House staff. I quote at length:
A ceasefire and negotiations for a peace settlement
are therefore becoming more and more necessary for
Given the Kremlin’s original aims when it launched
the invasion last year, and of the history of Russia’s domination of Ukraine
over the past 300 years, this would be not a Ukrainian defeat, but, on the
contrary, a tremendous Ukrainian victory. If, on the other hand, the war
continues indefinitely, there is a real possibility that Ukrainian resistance
may collapse, whether through the exhaustion of its manpower or because
Russia’s additional forces allow it to reopen the fronts in northern Ukraine
that it pulled back from last year and that Ukraine lacks the troops to defend.
Following from this, Lieven argues for a settlement now, well in advance of the

[Russia] will need to be assured that Washington is
prepared to discuss seriously a final settlement involving neutrality for
Ukraine (of course, including international security guarantees), mutual force

No matter.
Both gentlemen and dozens of their peers are being
encouraged by the policy formulators in the Administration to prepare the
Russians to enter into talks and to prepare the American and European publics
for an end to the war that is a defeat dressed up as a victory.
As I intimated above, it is
entirely possible that there have been direct talks about ending the war
between Gerasimov and Zaluzhny in the past couple of weeks, though neither
would be an independent actor as Hersh mistakenly believes.
I will go one step further
and say that it is entirely possible that the Russian side suggested that it
could accept
The possible advantage to
the Russian side would be to offer the Americans a face-saving exit ramp,
thereby ending any possibility of dangerous escalation of American – NATO
involvement on the ground should the Ukrainian forces collapse.
Putin is strong enough in
his entourage of elites and in the broad Russian public to make a persuasive
case for any settlement that ensures Russian security interests are served and
that the sacrifices in men and fortune that this war has cost will be justified
by the outcome.
Even in the less attractive
peace terms set out by Hersh, the positive results for Russia would be the
definitive liberation of most of the Russian speaking territories of Ukraine
from rule by Kiev and their incorporation into the Russian Federation, the de facto demilitarization of Ukraine given its losses on
the order of one million men dead or incapacitated, and the confidence that Ukraine
can no longer be used as an advance attack platform of NATO against his
country.
