– #A paradoxical intention | A third shoot from the hip || Telegramme featuring striking evidence on Putin’s Kind Of Peace / Connotation[1] on a Historical Lesson of Appeasement and Atrocities // coupled with Trump’s Plans Of US Isolationism as a statutory threat to global peace and security –
It notes that the problem of ethnic Russian groups in countries neighboring Russia cannot be solved by diplomatic means alone. (Lennart Meri, Speech at Hamburg Conference 1994)
Honourable Chance(llor) Scholz! Dear Lord of The Appeasement! Dear Ollie!
Here we go again!
Let’s take a closer look at Putin's Curriculum Vitae of Ambitions[3], Operations and Wars[4] as follows:
# First Outing | Hamburg Conference (1994)[5]
# War (I) vs Chechnya (1994 - 1996)[6]
# War (II) vs Chechnya (1999-2009)[7]
# Undercover Operations (1999)[8]
I consider that the unipolar model is not only unacceptable but also impossible in today’s world. And this is not only because if there was individual leadership in today’s – and precisely in today’s – world, then the military, political and economic resources would not suffice. What is even more important is that the model itself is flawed because at its basis there is and can be no moral foundations for modern civilisation. Along with this, what is happening in today’s world – and we just started to discuss this – is a tentative to introduce precisely this concept into international affairs, the concept of a unipolar world. (Vladimir Putin, Speech at Munich Security Conference 2007)
# Geopolitical Ambitions | Munich Security Conference (2007)[10]
# War (III) vs Georgia (2008)[11]
# Annexation (IV) of Krim (2014)[12]
# Armed Intervention (V) in Syrian Civil War (2015)[13]
# Armed Intervention (VI) in Central African Republic Civil War[14]
First of all, I would like to emphasize that the wall that has emerged in recent years between Russia and Ukraine, between the parts of what is essentially the same historical and spiritual space, to my mind is our great common misfortune and tragedy. These are, first and foremost, the consequences of our own mistakes made at different periods of time. But these are also the result of deliberate efforts by those forces that have always sought to undermine our unity. The formula they apply has been known from time immemorial – divide and rule. There is nothing new here. Hence the attempts to play on the ”national question“ and sow discord among people, the overarching goal being to divide and then to pit the parts of a single people against one another.

To avoid war, France and the United Kingdom permitted Nazi Germany to incorporate the Sudetenland. Earlier acts of appeasement included the Allied inaction towards the remilitarization of the Rhineland and the Anschluss of Austria, while subsequent ones included inaction to the First Vienna Award, the annexation of the remainder of Czech Lands to form the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, as well as the 1939 German ultimatum to Lithuania forcing it to cede the Klaipėda Region. The policy of appeasement underestimated Hitler's ambitions by believing that enough concessions would secure a lasting peace. Today, the agreement is widely regarded as a failed act of appeasement toward Germany, and a diplomatic triumph for Hitler. ––– related (2) as follows: 20th-century international relations - British Appeasement, American Isolationism | Britannica ––– Isolationism | Definition & Facts | Britannica ––– note on Trump’s approach to Isolationism as follows – Trump says he would encourage Russia to ‘do whatever the hell they want’ to any NATO country that doesn’t pay enough | CNN Politics: In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want.

[2] Putin's infamous history in Hamburg – DW – 07/03/2017: On February 25, 1994, Putin was also in attendance. One distinguished guest, then-President of Estonia Lennart Meri, gave a speech. Putin did something that has never happened at this ceremony: he got up and left. "With his legs straight [ed.: in a marching stance], throwing a contemptuous glance at the host, he left the hall, every step accompanied by the creaking of the parquet," according to a correspondent for the German magazine Zeit. "His exit was followed by whispers. Who is he? What's his problem?" What exactly did Meri say that so annoyed Putin? The speech reads like a prophecy of what happened 20 years later in Crimea. And Putin's reaction shows that he sent a clear signal to the West. The Estonian president referred to a paper from the foreign ministry in Moscow: "It notes that the problem of ethnic Russian groups in countries neighboring Russia cannot be solved by diplomatic means alone." Other means were conceivable for Moscow, Meri concluded. He warned against Russia's "neo-imperialist policy" and appealed to integrate Eastern European countries, including Ukraine, into the "democratic world."
