News X World (India) interview at midday on the Trump Peace Plan and Russian capture of Kupyansk

You will note that I determinedly ignore the questions put to me by the News X World moderator because they are, like almost all discussion of the Trump Peace Plan in Western media, focused strictly on the points in the Peace Plan relating to Ukraine’s giving up its presently held territory in the Donbas. This is what Kaja Kallas at the EU Commission and the warmongers Keir Starmer of the UK, Emanuel Macron of France and Friedrich Merz of Germany denounce as a capitulation imposed on Ukraine which they say they are determined to resist.

However, the 28-point Peace Plan is a comprehensive road map intended to put an end to the remilitarization of Europe and implies regime change not only in Ukraine but in 24 of the 27 European Member States that are today’s troublemakers.  By bringing about a nonaggression pact between Russia, Europe and the U.S., by pledging not to ever invite Ukraine into NATO and in general no longer to expand NATO, this plan will revise the security architecture of Europe to ensure at least a coming generation of peace on the Continent, not only between Russia and Ukraine. Moreover, the point on extension of the START treaty on strategic nuclear weapons is something unrelated to the Ukraine war but very much a concern in the Kremlin and also among those in the West who stand taller than their pygmy heads of state and government.

Gilbert Doctorow's latest book, "War Diaries. The Russia-Ukraine War, 2022-2023" is a unique contribution to literature on the war thanks to the author's reports on the Russian home front written during his periodic visits to St Petersburg at a time when Russia no longer issued visas and nearly all Western journalists had left the country. Doctorow's two-volume "Memoirs of a Russianist" published in 2020 also constitutes a category of its own, consisting largely of diary entries rather than reminiscences written decades later.. Volume 2 focuses on the community of 50,000 expatriate managers working and living in Moscow during the 1990s, about which none of his peers has yet to write. Gilbert Doctorow is a professional Russia watcher and actor in Russian affairs going back to 1965. He is a magna cum laude graduate of Harvard College (1967), a past Fulbright scholar, and holder of a Ph.D. with honors in history from Columbia University (1975). After completing his studies, Mr. Doctorow pursued a business career focused on the USSR and Eastern Europe. For twenty-five years he worked for US and European multinationals in marketing and general management with regional responsibility. From 1998-2002, Doctorow served as the Chairman of the Russian Booker Literary Prize in Moscow. During the 2010-2011 academic year, he was a Visiting scholar of the Harriman Institute, Columbia University. Mr. Doctorow is a long-time resident of Brussels.

  1. “It is hard to get a man to understand a thing when his paycheck depends upon him not understanding it.”

    The newscaster is otherwise pleasant and polite, and may address everybody by first name.
