Great analysis.
You say the map was produced “by the Russians for the Russian public”. It might also be the Russians telling both the West and the people of Ukraine, “Cut out the baloney. Look at our map. The jig is up.
Nord stream 2 will go on, for the Germans have ploughed too much of their money.. The Soviet Union supplied energy to much of Europe when they were true adversaries.. What is the alternative?, carbon footprint heavy over priced US gas???,.. The war did not start with the Russia, it’s been an on going ugly affair since 2014 coup,the Now Republic of Denask and Donbass have been constantly shelled by extremists forces in the Ukraine army, and No one has ever been convicted of the murder of those young people killed in the fire of the Donbass government building, where… Read more »
Actually they were beaten to death with batons to save bullets. Refer to Eric Zuess article from a weeks or 2 ago and follow the links to the archives.
I saw it all back when it happened.
I agree that there is a core of irrationally vicious Russophobes that seem to be at the core of most western governments that are immune to any mitigating logic. Who are they, do they have any distinguishing characteristics?
I doubt that they have any special physical characteristics. But I suppose they may be low IQ, maybe little education, and are weak willed individuals who have no strong sense of self and no basic inner guiding principles, and are easily persuaded, i.e. brainwashed, into believing whatever others, such as the media, want them to believe.
How do they ‘heat up’ a cauldron? I know they are leaving soldiers without food, fuel or supplies of ammunition. My sense of humour pictures Scottish bagpipes being played at night!
So if Russia considers other nations intervening as an ‘act of war,’ then what risks might they face. If Poland sends planes, will Russia target any missile batteries of NATO that are lodged in Poland? Would they face the taking out of military institutions in Poland? Would Russia target the planes and destroy them and any airfields they land in West Poland? Since Putin FINALLY attacked Ukraine to stop the shelling, Russia is both credible and unpredictable.
I’m thinking Putin’s slow roll may have a purpose. Ukraine has high unemployment and millions who don’t want to live in the Russian sphere. So give them some time to flee and let the Poles deal with them. In a few weeks the Poles will cut an agreement to endorse Russia’s plan so they can deport them back to Ukraine.
Reading our British media has Zelenski on their front pages stating he will fight them on the beaches in the forests etc etc. His wanting to keep his job by using his Western backed army as cannon fodder just to kiss the US backside.
Alexander … why do you refuse to go there? Why can you not entertain what to many of us is factually evident — that these aren’t simply anti-Russian ideologues, but are and have been part of the WEF’s and their controllers’ (owners/controllers of the BIS & CBs) pushing forward of their NWO, of the “Great Reset,” especially the financial reset, now that they have parasitized the present one near to death?
