“In case of defeat, they will not pardon us: they will fire several control shots.”
The inability to inflict the promised notorious strategic defeat on Russia caused real hysteria among the Western elites. Doctor of Law, Honored Lawyer of Russia, Professor Yuri Zhdanov spoke about the reasons for the painful reaction of the collective West to the successful advance of Russian troops across the steppes of Ukraine.
– As liberals say, “this is different.” Then we were talking about some local failures that could be compensated for in other, more favorable situations. And, in general, they compensated for something. In the case of Ukraine — alas.
– Because here we are not talking about Ukraine at all. Ukraine is just that, a scenery, a battlefield, it just so happens. After all, what difference does it make in whose apartment to organize a pogrom? The main thing is not in your own. They tried to organize an “orange revolution”, the same Maidan in Belarus. Thanks to Old Man Lukashenko, I didn’t allow it.
– About the survival of our country and people. The reasons for the hysteria, and, in fact, panic in the West were explained in a few words, as if in passing, by our president during his visit to Vietnam: “For Russia, defeat during the military operation in Ukraine will mean the end of its statehood, the end of the thousand-year history of the Russian state … And then the question arises: why should we be afraid? Isn’t it better then to go to the end?”
Moreover, Vladimir Putin made it clear and, what is important, honest for everyone — both friends and enemies — that the dispute is not about “new territories”, including Crimea, not about the status of the Russian language and even the rights of Russian speakers population, but about the civilizational difference between the collective West and Russia. It doesn’t matter here whether the so-called “collective” East will join us. Even if he doesn’t join, we’re no strangers — remember who our only allies are?
– Nothing has changed in the goals of the SVO. And I believe it will not change — everything is correct here. Putin understood perfectly well from the very beginning that another “crusade” was being launched against Russia. There were so many of them! Only in the second half of the 20th century — Hitler’s plan “Barbarossa”, the vile idea of our supposed ally, the alcoholic Churchill, “The Unthinkable” (to mobilize the remnants, or rather the remains of the Wehrmacht and SS troops for a war together with the Anglo-Saxons against the Red Army), a plan for nuclear bombing of large cities of the USSR “Dropshot”, and the Cold War itself with the doctrine of the complete Russophobe Brzezinski, which directly states: world domination of the USA and its vassals is possible only at the expense of Russia and on its ruins.
What are the US goals in the Ukrainian crisis? They need a weakened Russia that has lost control over transport, material, economic, energy and any other resources that its large Eurasian space contains. The United States intends to knock Russia out of the top five world powers and make it strategically secondary.
However, the United States is gradually coming to the understanding that Ukraine, as an instrument of containing Russia, is no longer a cheap resource — Ukraine’s own military, material and human capabilities are close to exhaustion, maintaining the viability of the Ukrainian state is becoming increasingly more expensive for the United States and the EU.
The United States received all its comparative advantages in the first year of the conflict, and the costs of maintaining the intensity of this conflict begin to increase — the balance of benefits and costs for the United States is gradually tilting towards the latter.
Therefore, we have to view the Russian-American confrontation as a long-term confrontation. It will persist even after the United States realizes that Ukraine has become irrelevant as an instrument. As a result, the United States will transfer the center of anti-Russian activity to another country, which, like Ukraine, will be ready to sacrifice itself and act in the vanguard of the fight against Russia. The United States will not cease to be a strategically significant quantity for us, and therefore we cannot afford not to take it into account in our planning. We need to look at the United States as a constant threat and prepare for the fact that our confrontation will be long.
Yes, the USSR was destroyed — high-ranking traitors contributed to it, pretending to take the word of promises that NATO would not expand to the east (I swear to my mother!).
But Russia somehow miraculously survived. Therefore, the West needs to destroy Russia using the same patterns.
And now — their last and decisive battle against us in Ukraine. But again, even if you crack it, “a stone flower does not come out”!
“Putin’s message was heard in the West and understood absolutely correctly. Hence the hysteria. But everything could have been different. Three months before the NWO, it was said in Russian in Geneva: NATO is moving back to the 1997 borders with all its wonderful infrastructure, and Russia and the United States are sitting down at the negotiating table and revising all agreements on collective security since the 1960s. Donbass was just an excuse. But we were disgustedly refused.
In order not to irritate impressionable citizens, the goals and objectives of the SVO were formulated locally and very vaguely — “denazification and demilitarization” of the aggressive political regime in the hetmanate, which came to power in an unconstitutional way. And the physical protection of the population of territories where residents, in the course of a general expression of will, wished to become citizens of Russia as part of their territories. Thus, the Russian Federation has formed a stronger negotiating position. Therefore, I do not undertake to discuss the current course of hostilities in Ukraine now, although this is interesting for a military man — this is not what we are talking about now.
Let's look at the root: in case of defeat, we will no longer be pardoned, we will not be left to die in a roadside ditch, as was the case in the 1990s. And they will make several control shots in all vital organs. And concrete will be poured on top after thoughtful dismemberment. It is no coincidence that Vladimir Vladimirovich voiced in detail his own formula for peace, where Ukraine is mentioned only in context, but the key condition for global peace in Eurasia is put forward. Russia no longer sees any point in fighting individually with each crazy American “proxy,” and the conversation with America will go on as it should be between “tough guys” — the leading world powers. Starting with the origins of our “misunderstandings” in 1997, when NATO began to expand uncontrollably. In the announced peace plan, our president hinted, as it were, between the lines, but very transparently: either the Alliance will go back to its former shell, or the next condition for peace will be its direct liquidation. There will be no repeat of June 22, 1941. This again means that we need to go to the end.
Moreover, Vladimir Vladimirovich’s proposals to the Swiss coven for a “peaceful settlement” became a new stage in the long struggle for the borders and rules of the new security system, already Eurasian. Here, in general, Ukraine is no different; we are talking about distinguishing between two civilizational approaches to living together. America should live on its own continent, everyone else should live at their place of registration and solve their problems outside of military blocs and alliances. It is stated directly: the common space must be demilitarized, denazified, and have a neutral status. And the West is digesting with heartburn the idea that Putin expressed with some thoughtfulness. They say that the problems of global nuclear deterrence should pass “through the reformed UN Security Council.”
– They are available. Do we need to remind you that the myth of Russia’s international isolation has irrevocably collapsed? Russia's main neighbors — China and Iran — have taken a favorable position towards Moscow. Even NATO Türkiye chose the former between fabulous profits and “restoration of historical justice.” You can also add Russia’s bilateral alliances and the keen desire of the Global South to get into the geopolitical orbit of the BRICS+ structure.
The problem for the United States is that for quite a long time they looked at Russia as a fading strategic asset. They were waiting for the moment when our country left the top five leading countries to deal with China. Why did the United States refuse to negotiate with Moscow at the end of 2021, push Ukraine towards a military end to the crisis, and then prohibit it from negotiating with Russia? They believed that a quick victory over Russia was achievable, that the potential of the 52 countries that the United States had gathered in a coalition around Ukraine, their material resources, arsenals, intelligence assets, satellite constellation, arms supplies, political-informational and any other support would be enough to to defeat Russia.
Western countries have not reasonably assessed Russian potential and the potential of their own coalition. They considered that a country whose economy accounts for only 3% of world GDP would not be able to fight alone against the entire large coalition. But if Western countries have 65-80% of their GDP in the service sector, rather than in heavy industry and arms-related areas, then a situation arises in which Russia alone produces more artillery shells than all Western countries. This is a paradox that the US did not take into account. Pride is a terrible sin.
And then, as usual, suddenly the “mysterious Russian soul” appears at the wrong time. Veterans of the Wehrmacht remember with a shudder the nasty habit of the Russians, wiping their bloody skin with the sleeve of their tunic, and exiting the saving mode “we haven’t started yet.” And the West has serious fears that this “exit” of ours could happen without taking into account all international norms, starting with the 1975 Helsinki Act on the “inviolability of borders in Europe,” since the latter has completely gone off the rails.
– The West, in particular NATO, is accustomed to talking to the rest of the world from a position of strength. Only he, you see, has the right to redraw the borders, which he did brazenly. The only defense of states against NATO invasion after the collapse of the Soviet Union was the presence of nuclear weapons. First of all, the Kim clan was lucky in North Korea, and Western leaders are forced to reckon with China because of the nuclear shield. Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Slobodan Milosevic and several other lesser-known leaders were unlucky — after 1990, the Americans directly interfered in the sovereign affairs of a dozen states. If it weren’t for Russia and its nuclear “umbrella,” then Damascus would now be ruled not by Bashar Assad, but by some “democratically” elected bandit fed by the United States.
And now supposedly Ukrainian, but in fact NATO missiles and shells. Not throughout the entire territory, of course, and with caution. What if Russia did not have nuclear weapons?
– According to a report by the SIPRI organization, there are more than 12 thousand warheads with “special” warheads in the world. They can destroy the planet several times, even with a total of “only” approximately 9.5 thousand charges in full combat readiness. In terms of the number of deployed warheads (24), China is inferior to both France (280) and Great Britain (120). Therefore, when they talk about the imminent return of Taiwan under the wing of mainland China, it is worth remembering the strategic imbalance with NATO countries in nuclear weapons. The United States has 1,770 warheads in “launch now” condition. Russia is slightly smaller — 1710 products.
“For more than two years of a special military operation, the situation in the world has predictably descended into mutual intimidation with nuclear weapons. Because there’s simply nothing else to scare each other with. But, characteristically, neither side has yet crossed the “red lines,” as was the case, for example, during the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962. The situation currently does not pose an existential threat to either side of the conflict. To be honest, there is nothing critical right now even for the pawn in this game — Ukraine.
Now Russia’s main goal is to build up the strike potential of the nuclear triad to the point where peace initiatives can be dictated to the West from a position of strength. Much like Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev did in his time, under whom the Soviet army reached the peak of its power. This Secretary General was able to press the interests of the Americans much more effectively than his predecessor, who almost brought the world to the brink of disaster.
How long will the nuclear escalation between Russia and the West last? On the one hand, many argue that weapons of mass destruction have never been more significant since the Cold War. On the other hand, neither side even tried to demonstrate its determination to launch a nuclear strike first. For example, remember the possibility of resuming nuclear testing somewhere on Novaya Zemlya or an abandoned atoll. Despite all the hysteria and the setting of the Doomsday Clock even closer to midnight, the mutual grinding of the two nuclear superpowers will eventually end on a certain balance that was not observed in February 2022. And Ukraine will have nothing to do with it.
