Welcome back to the paid subscriber mailbag, my periodic token reward to paid members to allow them to ask a question which I’ll dutifully answer in more long-form fashion than the typical comments section reply allows.
As usual, the answers can be viewed by all subscribers, so don’t miss out, as there are many interesting discussions and analyses in the mailbags, as my readers often ask very incisive and thought-provoking questions about global geopolitical developments.
If you haven’t subscribed yet and have a burning question you’d like me to put my mind to, then now’s your chance to become a full member.
As a reminder, only one question per person please.
With that dispensed, ask away!
If you enjoyed the read, I would greatly appreciate if you subscribed to a monthly/yearly pledge to support my work, so that I may continue providing you with detailed, incisive reports like this one.

As we are now entering in the last chapters of this war (even if it might prolong till 2025), do you think Zelenksy be allowed to escape by either own military, Russians or NATO?
It seems things in Ukraine are building towards a coup - or an electoral replacement of Zelenskiyyiyiyiyi, same diff - that everyone assumes will result in a "peace" government that is ready to talk surrender to the Russians. In the February 1917 revolution in Russia the Provisional Government that replaced the Tsar doubled down on the maximalist goals of the previous government. The October revolution that replaced the PG with the Bolsheviks had, if anything, the most maximalist war goals of all: world conquest via revolutionary war. What do you think is the likelihood the government that results of a coup in Ukraine that ousts Zelenskiiyiyiyiyiyiyiyiy being as or more maximalist that it replaces?
