Marcus Keupp, a military economist, argues against negotiations with Vladimir Putin, believing that it would reward Russian aggression. He asserts that Russia is losing the war and predicts its eventual defeat if the current trajectory continues.
Keupp highlights Ukraine's effective use of drones, potentially creating a 'drone wall' to impede Russian advances. He suggests that Ukraine can focus on disrupting Russian supply lines rather than costly large-scale offensives.
Keupp strongly opposes negotiations, warning that concessions to Putin would encourage further aggression and embolden other nations with territorial ambitions. He draws parallels to appeasement policies of the past, citing the example of Nazi Germany.
Keupp expresses skepticism about Donald Trump's ability to resolve the conflict, suggesting that Putin is outmaneuvering Trump. He also discusses a theory alleging Trump's collaboration with Russia, though acknowledging it is unverified.
Keupp warns that the conflict's outcome could destabilize the global order and affect even neutral countries like Switzerland. He emphasizes the danger of a world governed solely by the 'law of the strongest'.
