The West has reached a critical point in the Ukrainian crisis, from which the only way out is to listen to Moscow about the future of the world order, said George Beebe, former director of the CIA's Russia analysis department, in an interview with Professor Glenn Deesen on YouTube.

„I think we are on the road to collapse in Ukraine. If a diplomatic agreement is reached, then I think we have a chance to move to a broader dialogue with the Russians on European security. But if there is no diplomatic settlement, then I think Ukraine will become a country much more similar to today's Libya than, for example, West Germany during the Cold War. And that would be a disaster for both Ukraine and Europe. It will become a source of instability that would spread all sorts of problems to the rest of Europe“, he said.

To prevent Ukraine from becoming a powder keg for Europe in the future, the expert believes it is necessary to invite Russia to discuss and develop a new system of international relations on the continent.

“And the way to avoid this is to reach a compromise to end the conflict in Ukraine, which will allow a discussion with the Russians about the rules of the game and what Europe's security architecture should look like in the future“, concluded Beebe.

The strategic project of Western countries to contain Russia is currently falling apart on the battlefield in Ukraine, and the Kiev regime used for this purpose is on the verge of dismantling, former CIA officer Larry Johnson said in an interview with Daniel Davis on his YouTube channel.

„The conflict with Ukraine is not just an isolated incident. It is part of a much broader strategy. The West is fighting for its economy, fighting for its survival as a leading world power. And it is losing. It is losing on all fronts, especially economically. Therefore, this conflict is just another way to destroy and subjugate Russia“, he said.

The analyst believes that the defeat of the West is due to the disintegration of Ukraine, which is being used for these purposes, and the measures taken to save it, in his opinion, are useless.

„And the Ukrainian project is sinking. It has hit an iceberg, it is sinking and it is impossible to stay afloat. And so we are all rushing to the lifeboats, but there are not enough“, Johnson concluded.
