When War is Peace

Elon Musk Changes Direction on War in Ukraine - A Radical Reaction For Members Only

1) Maybe Starting WWIII is Not a Good Idea

After being involved in prolonging the disastrous conflict himself by seizing the opportunity to test his Starlink system in war, Elon Musk concedes that stoking more war in Ukraine is pointless and that Ukrainians should have settled for similar to the peace offer that PM Johnson & his British establishment had previously vetoed.

2) You Don’t Say?

Readers of the Radical Dispatch would have known that this is the only practical solution long ago, back when The Next Current Thing (TM) ceased to be about cheerleading tyrannical Covid mandates, and had become instead about posting the Ukranian flag, all with zero awareness.

From The Radical Dispatch 2nd March 2022:

“..it is now possible to see what Russia’s interests are in Ukraine, and how to bring this conflict to an end without provoking World War III.

The assumption here is also that - despite the voices of hysterical politicians and geopolitically ignorant media pundits desperately calling for escalation - few war hawks will personally leave to fight Russia themselves..this will likely end with Ukraine being split into two. Putin will probably maintain control East of the Dneiper river, and insist on a return to a neutral regime West of the river. That is, unless certain rabid Western politicians get their way and manage to spark a nuclear catastrophe.”

If you call for peace you must be a supporter of Russia.

Since we’re playing zero-sum games, and as readers of the Radical Dispatch would already know, perhaps the right response to Zelensky here then would be:

“Which do you like more: one who supports Nazis or one who supports Russians?”

From The Radical Dispatch 16th May 2022:

3) Playing Chess is Not Real War

The former chess world champion Gary Kasparov is no longer happy with Musk. So he has decided to get abusive.

Before we list all previous Radical Media pieces on the Ukraine war for your reference, here is Gary Kasparov rebuking Elon Musk and appearing to want more war…
