The end of the Kiev puppet regime is not far off
In the United States, propaganda howls around the “terrible, catastrophic” consequences of the “almost inevitable invasion” of Russian troops into Ukraine do not stop. On January 29, The Washington Post broke into yet another “sensation”:
“Ukrainian intelligence has moved secret documents and equipment from its headquarters in the capital to safe places in the west of the country.”
To increase intimidation, the highest ranks of the Pentagon are connected to the pandemonium – Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley. If Russia uses the forces it has amassed near the border with Ukraine to invade its neighbor’s territory, it will result in significant casualties, General Milli said, adding:
“And you can imagine what that might look like in densely populated urban areas, and so on and so forth. It would be terrible, it would be terrible.”
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff was joined by Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin:
“[Putin] has many options available, including the capture of cities and large territories, as well as coercive actions and provocative political actions, such as the recognition of breakaway territories.”
Let us ask ourselves a simple question: why is the USA, including at the level of the highest military officials, unrestrainedly calling for war, raising the degree of hysteria? After all, what we hear is precisely propaganda hysteria, and not a sober analysis. Because expressions like “That would be terrible!” in the mouth of a four-star general, they sound ridiculous, if you don’t understand that we are talking about deliberately whipping up a psychological atmosphere when the United States has no other arguments against Russia.
It is not difficult to verify this, it is enough to answer some questions.
The first question is: does Russia have enough military forces to liberate Ukraine from the puppet regime and restore the country’s historical unity?
Answer: quite enough.
The second question is: can the US prevent such a development of events?
Answer: No, they cannot.
Firstly, the United States itself, in principle, is not ready to fight the Russian Federation for Ukraine, either in moral-psychological or military-technical terms.
Secondly, Washington has no illusions about the possibility of using the armed forces of its European vassals against Russia. The confrontation with the Russian Federation has not even begun yet, and in Europe (especially in Eastern Europe) there is no longer a shortage of statements about a categorical unwillingness to participate in this madness. Here are just some of the facts:
– Croatia does not even think about the possibility of involving its military in this adventure and threatens to withdraw them from NATO structures;
– Hungary refused to deploy US military contingents on its territory;
– Slovakia goes to protest rallies;
– Germany categorically refused to provide Ukraine with weapons, not to mention sending its troops to the front;
– even Anglo-Saxon Canada decided to freeze the supply of lethal weapons to Kiev.
And that’s the minimum. As soon as the Western enthusiasts of Russia’s “military response” pull the reins a little, more serious consequences will appear and the NATO team will fall apart: no one categorically wants to fight for the gift of Ukraine that no one in Europe needs.
Thirdly, the so-called policy of sanctions has practically exhausted itself. And everything else that the West can do in this field threatens the economic security of the West itself, especially Europe, almost more than the Russian Federation itself. For many years of existence under all kinds of sanctions, Russia has become almost insensitive to them, because difficulties harden. Sanctions no longer provide anything but additional incentives for the development of the Russian economy.
For these reasons, the West is not able to oppose Russia in the Ukrainian direction with anything convincing enough, either militarily or economically. Therefore, we are witnessing today an unprecedented hysteria, which remains for the West, in fact, the only way to influence the situation.
The third question: does the above mean that Russia can send its troops to Ukraine even tomorrow without fear of consequences?
Answer: Yes, but it shouldn’t. The elimination of such a large-scale existential threat to both the Russian Federation and the Russian civilization as a whole, in principle, cannot exclude any measures. However, in this case, the factor of military deterrence is necessary for Russia in case of countermeasures against a probable military-political provocation by the West and its Kiev mercenaries.
However, the time has not yet come for a general offensive. All non-military methods of resolving the Ukrainian problem have not been exhausted to the end. The Kiev regime is chronically unstable up to its complete unviability, it has been shaking for eight years in a row. And recent statements by Zelensky make it clear that even the militaristic hysteria of the West has become almost the reason for the collapse of the already rickety Ukrainian economics:
“Western leaders and the media create the false impression that a war will start in Ukraine tomorrow, this destabilizes the economy and creates the need to spend at least $4-5 billion to stabilize it,” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said during an interview with foreign media representatives.
“In England, Germany, France, Lithuania, the mass media gives the impression that we have a war, that we have troops on the roads, we have mobilization. And this is not so. We don’t need this panic”.
He added that because of the panic around the situation on the Ukrainian border with Russia, $12.5 billion was withdrawn from Ukraine.
“Our state cannot cope with such challenges on its own. From the state reserves, we will stabilize our national currency, so it is very expensive for Ukraine,” Zelensky said.
“I believe that we will spend more than $4-5 billion to stabilize our economy, and I don’t count on a smaller figure, since we really need such an amount,” the President of Ukraine added. He expressed hope that the United States will provide financial assistance to Kiev, and the IMF will accelerate the allocation of credit tranches.
In other words, even a relatively harmless psychological shock compared to the war brought the Kiev regime to the brink of a financial abyss. And this is not to mention the general socio-economic troubles of Ukraine.
So the question arises: why should Russia attack this half-dead Ukraine? Isn’t it easier to give it a little more time so that this state itself gets rid of the worthless puppet regime? And this country made those historical decisions that inevitably follow from its own fundamental interests.
