The Dance of Willing Sleepwalkers: Western Powers' Peacekeeping Charade in Ukraine

Lo, behold the grand theater of mediocrity that unfolds before our eyes! In the frozen lands of the North, where comfort-seekers huddle in their democratic warmth, Canada's Defense Minister Bill Blair pronounces words that echo through the hollow chambers of Western consciousness. The nation stands ready, he declares, to join the "coalition of the willing" - a phrase that rings with the irony of sheep willingly following their shepherds to new pastures.

Canada's Defense Minister Bill Blair speaks with the media as he arrives for a meeting of NATO defense ministers at NATO headquarters in Brussels, Thursday, Feb. 13, 2025.
Behold how they gather, these merchants of false peace! They speak of security guarantees while their own spirits lack the guarantee of greatness. What is a peacekeeping force but a morphine drip for the conscience of the weak?

In the land of the eternal sleepers, where citizens feast upon the bread of contentment and drink deeply from the chalice of democratic platitudes, their leaders weave tapestries of diplomatic delusion. The British Prime Minister Starmer, that architect of compromise, leads this parade of the well-intentioned, while France follows with the enthusiasm of a nation that has forgotten its revolutionary spirit.

The great spectacle reaches its crescendo in the Oval Office, where Trump and Zelenskyy, two performers in the theater of modern politics, engage in their televised dance of discord. Here we witness the true nature of their kind - the last men who blink and say, "We have invented happiness."

See how they quarrel over security guarantees and mineral rights! Like children fighting over toys in a sandbox, they fail to comprehend that true security comes not from treaties and agreements, but from the will to power itself!

The Baltic states - Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, and Finland - hover at the edges of this drama like cautious birds, their willingness to participate tempered by their historical trembling before the Bear of the East. Australia, too, from its distant shore, makes noises of contribution, though it knows not the weight of the European winter.

And what of Vice President Vance, who speaks with the arrogance of one who has never tasted the bitter wine of true conflict? He dismisses the martial experience of nations who have shed blood alongside his own, demonstrating the peculiar blindness that afflicts those who believe themselves superior by mere circumstance of birth.

Their treaties and coalitions are but paper shields against the storm of reality. They seek to create order where chaos must reign, to impose peace where conflict must purify!

The Russians, those eternal skeptics of Western good intentions, reject this peacekeeping charade with the contempt it perhaps deserves. They, at least, understand that power speaks louder than promises, that force carries more weight than formations of peacekeepers.

Here in the heartland of mediocrity, NATO reveals itself as a creature of consensus, paralyzed by its own mechanisms of agreement. Hungary and Slovakia, playing their parts as Russia's friends, demonstrate how easily the machinery of collective security can be ground to a halt by the sand of dissent.

O you makers of peace! You who would place soldiers between the wolf and its prey! Do you not see that your very presence perpetuates the weakness you seek to protect? Let those who would be strong learn to bare their teeth!

And so the dance continues, with Canada ready to take its place in this grand ballet of the blind. Minister Blair speaks of readiness and ability, of contributions and capabilities, while the true questions of power and will remain unasked and unanswered.

Thus we witness the unfolding of another chapter in the eternal return of human folly, where those who cannot create must preserve, where those who cannot conquer must peacekeep, where those who cannot lead must follow. The coalition of the willing stands ready - but willing for what? To perpetuate the sleep of nations? To guard the dreams of those who dare not wake?

Let them send their peacekeepers! Let them build their paper walls against the tide of history! But know this: true peace comes not from the presence of armies but from the strength of those who have learned to live dangerously!
