CAN WE PLEASE NOT MAKE VLADIMIR PUTIN MADDER: ENOUGH ALREADY.

ICHEOKU says the West should and must introduce a new approach in their dealing with Russia's Vladimir Putin as what is, seems not to be working so well or well enough. This is in order to avoid an un-bargained for sudden cataclysmic event which might prove very fatal to mankind. So yes, Vladimir Putin is a dictator but so also are China's Xi Jinping and North Korea's Kim Jong Un. But the West is not threatening them as they seem to repeatedly often do with Vladimir Putin. Why is Vladimir Putin being singled out particularly in this manner as there should have been a one cap fits all approach to all dictators, but not one special cap for Vladimir and different caps for Jinping and Jong Un. 

At least, Vladimir Putin's Russia is somewhat free, with limited opposition and limited press freedom, unlike Xi Jinping China and Kim Jong Un's North Korea with absolutely zero freedom for the opposition and the press. In North Korea, such attempt is ruthless put down by feeding suspected non compliant people alive to purposely starved rabid wild dogs. China also ruthlessly puts them down and have now crushed democracy in Hong Kong and menacingly threatening to do the same in Taiwan. So why single Vladimir Putin out for a separate treatment. He is still European, a white man; and has more to gain with a peaceful Europe than an Europe devastated by fissile materials. He is apparently fully invested in the preservation of the white race and their continuous survival as a people. Therefore, he will be more amenable to reaching a detente with the West and such opening should be exploited for good. 

America and other Western European nations as well as Australia and New Zealand should explore some ways to meet Vladimir Putin half way and see how to provide him with some necessary accommodations in order to sooth his ego, towards achieving a more peaceful, non confrontational, co-existence with Russia's Vladimir Putin. The approach of the last two decades of constantly pillorying Vladimir Putin does not seem to have worked or at least worked as anticipated. He has been in power since 2000 and nothing seems to have changed in his operational behavioral pattern and mode of conduct. So, why continue on the same pathway that has led to no where with a change in his behavior; or must the West be so stubborn,  continuously powering along a pathway to no where, except of course their primary intention is not to reform Vladimir Putin but to continuously portray him in the light which he seems to now relish and glow.  

ICHEOKU is emphatic that it is about time a different solution is put to the problem in order to bring Vladimir Putin closer than to continuously scare him off and eventually back him into a corner, where feeling trapped and left with no option he might spring like a cobra and ask out angrily and devastatingly. Although the West might think that they can win a full scale shooting war against Russia, which is debatable; but it will come at a very grave cost which the West might not be prepared to pay. This begs the question, why not explore the less expensive option, a way to achieve a more acceptable result which will forever free the world of the never ending phobia of Russia and what possibly Vladimir Putin is up to and might do if push ever comes to shove. 

But it seems that the continuous hot rhetorics and sanctions against Russia and Vladimir Putin is the agreed upon accepted template and the West latches unto it for a reason, to maximize an agenda. They want to continuously make out Vladimir Putin as the bogey man who the rest of the world must be wary of and in order to protect themselves from him, they need to continuously stockpile up weapons of war to defend themselves from Vladimir Putin's possible invasion of their territories. A signature of the military industrial complex, their tried and tested modus operandi, since fear always works. They love stoking it, so that they can continue plying their weapons sales and war trade. 

It might not end well for everyone should Vladimir Putin feel seriously threatened and forced to snap. His latest State of the Russian Nation address to his people seems to suggest that he is trending this way. He seems to be steadily getting very anxious and agitated, feeling about to be ensnared and being gradually boxed in. He has warned against the West crossing certain redlines but failed to describe which things constitute the deadlines which the West must not cross, thus making them his sole exclusive determination as what they are. Such open ended threat is ominous as nobody knows what in particular will trigger his reaction. It is a fluidly developing situation and it does not bode well for world peace. Mankind's survival is at stake as a reactionary Vladimir Putin will readily first explode those stockpiled nuclear weapons in his arsenal than succumb or marched out from Kremlin in handcuffs. 

But all these angst can easily end today if the West will allow Russia to be fully integrated into Europe as a bona fide member of the European Union and North Atlantic Treaty Organization as well as other world and regional bodies as an accepted, equal and full partner. Thereafter, he could be made to conform with existing norms within those bodies which sustains peaceful neighborliness. With that, he can also be made to disarm since he will no longer feel threatened and the need to defend himself and protect his position. It is worth exploring and in fact, the West owe the world the duty of peace to explore this solution. ICHEOKU strongly believes that it is exactly what Vladimir Putin is waiting for and there is no harm in trying everything and anything that would ensure that nuclear bombs are not ever dropped again on the humanity which inhabit this world. Enough of the avoidable tensive world of confrontation against Russia and they Vladimir Putin.
