The war in Ukraine is losing the western attention.
Apparently, the West is checking off Ukraine and concentrating on other issues. For Kamala Harris, the war is even over as Ukraine already won in 2022 according to her. And Blinken doesn´t prioritize Ukraine either.
That poses a problem for German Chancellor Scholz. He was all about Ukraine in the meeting. And he is alone. A big angry Putin plants himself in front of his office. After the conference, Scholz even came up with the idea to massively increase military spending by 2027 or 2028. But he has opposition to this plan within his own government coalition. His own party and the Green Party do not agree with cuts in other fields but that would mean that the gov´s zero debt policy would be over. The government will probably not survive the next parliamentary elections, anyway. Scholz´ SPD will probably end up as a junior partner in a new government coalition with the conservative CDU.
However, the CDU is even more fanatic about waging war until the last drop of Ukrainian blood, but this could be mere opposition. We still don´t know how they would act as a government.
To sum it up, the West considers the war in Ukraine lost and turns towards other issues.
"The so-called "Munich Report", which is prepared annually for the IBC and which is a kind of audit of the situation in international security, does not even contain a separate section dedicated exclusively to Ukraine. It does not single out Russian aggression as a separate challenge, but instead brings Russia's actions into the overall matrix of events in the world. They say that the world is entering a period of struggle of all against all, and Russian aggression is only an element and illustration of this problem.
And at the Munich Conference, there was much more fatalism. The West's willingness to win was not felt.
Even the official motto of the conference was the phrase "Lose-lose". And although this phrase was indicated with a question mark - in fact, instead of looking for how the West can prevail in the global confrontation, the organizers of the IBC began to prove that the parties to all confrontations in the world are heading for a common loss."
