Leaked secret US documents have revealed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has been planning to escalate the current confrontation with Moscow by invading Russian villages, targeting Russia beyond the Donbass and the current conflict zone with longe-range missiles and even blowing up the Druzhba pipeline which provides NATO member Hungary with Russian oil, according to the Washington Post. Kiev’s plans for further exacerbating the crisis cross a number of red lines and should be a problem for Washington too, as US President Biden has already made clear to Zelensky that he and his Western allies want neither “to go to war with Russia” nor “a third world war”. However, paradoxically, the US seems to be pushing for precisely such escalation.
The possible scenarios are quite worrisome. In addition to the aforementioned developments, according to the same leaks, Ukraine was also planning to attack Russian forces in Syria, which would mean making the Eastern European conflict spill into the Middle East and thus risk spiraling out of control across Western Asia and subsequently maybe even the Caucasus, too.Some analysts have already pointed out that the Russian-Ukraine confrontation potentially intersects with the South Caucasus, which is already the stage for today’s Armenian-Azerbaijani war.
According to Pulitzer Prize winner American investigative journalist Seymour Hersh’ report, countries in the region such as Hungary, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and the Czech Republic, led by Poland are pressuring Zelensky to find a compromise and end the crisis, even by resigning himself if needed.
The conflict had been transitioning into a protracted phase and the US seems to be encouraging Kiev to intensify its hostilities along the whole front line. However any kind of trench warfare or proxy attrition war is extremely harmful for Ukraine – and would not be such bad news for Russia, who can go on with a minimal offensive strategy further exhausting Ukrainian forces.
A major problem, from an American perspective, is that the Ukrainian political elite and its military leaders seem to be increasingly inclined to ignore the advice and instructions of their Western benefactors. Besides the aforementioned bold plans against Russia, there have been other signs of it: Zelensky refused to withdraw troops from Artemovsk, for example, which resulted in Ukrainian defeat there. Kiev’s political and military elite itself are divided however, and a rising number of voices are reconsidering Zelensky’s ideas about “reconquering Crimea” and openly talking about compromising.
Moreover, in the US itself, according to Hersh’s intelligence sources, “some of the better intelligence about the war does not reach the president” and he “is said to rely on briefings and other materials prepared by Avril Haines, director of National Intelligence”, while CIA Director William Burns “has come around in opposition to some of the White House’s foreign policy follies.” This indicates that there is division within Washington’s “deep state” also over the issue.
Calls for escalation, both in Kiev and in Washington, might also be a sign of desperation. There clearly is no consensus in the United States’ own establishment regarding the matter of aid to Ukraine itself – Republican lawmakers are opposing it also due to the debt ceiling now and former President Donald Trump, who is still a Republican favorite, has promised to end it if re-elected. Corruption scandals abound in both US and Ukraine and recent reports about a $3 billion Ukraine aid “error” are part of the latest one. The truth is that American weapons’s manufacturers as well as Western ones have been profiting from prolonging the conflict while also selling obsolete military equipment. Moreover, Zelensky’s rebellious “stubbornness” can only increase such division within Washington and across the transatlantic alliance, as seems to be already happening in Eastern and Central Europe. All of that creates a very dangerous and unstable situation which outcome is quite unpredictable.
Harvard political scientist Graham Ellison has warned that Western countries are trying to solve their own problems by escalating the Eastern European crisis and should it spiral out of control this could lead to dangerous war between the great powers involved.
The Western air defense systems Kiev is getting are in itself, for a number of reasons, not enough to protect Ukraine’s airspace, as I wrote. Neither are F-16s, for that matter. So far, Washington has been showing itself to be really willing to fight “to the last Ukrainian” (as in the cruel joke which Biden almost paraphrased in a December statement). Further escalation would show a willingness to fight if not literally to “the last European”, at least to something quite near it in terms of the damage to local economies and the migration/refugee crisis. It remains to be seen whether Europe in general and particularly Poland, Hungary and other nations in the region happen to also have a similar inclination – and for how long.
according to me: if humans declare war on demons (nato humans) demons would be able to use diy home made drones to eliminate massive fleet of nato’s tanks, armored fighting vehicles, infantries, marines, ships and so on. it would devastate the us brutal regime, including their allie’s, not even the f-16 or f-22 would work. they will be shoot down too.
“would be able to use diy home made drones to eliminate massive fleet of nato’s tanks, armored fighting vehicles, infantries, marines, ships and so on” i like your words demon. i hope china and iran are reading
it is their mindset that they have the right to ponce off of the people like scum parasites.
those we term as elites are high in their own imagination but low in morals, low in normal intelligence, lacking in virtue, decency and unable to discern truth. rather they have an intrinsic hatred of the truth, preferring…the narrative.
all they’ll need is sandals and antique aks.
lo que se necesita es hundir un par de portaviones nucleares de la otan
con alguna cosa disparada desde siberia con eso los norteamericanos
van a retroceder y se hara la paz y un nuevo arreglo del mundo
por que no creo que los generales y almirantes de eeuu sean tan locos
shooting down an f-22 would be a massive blow for the us regime. f-22 costs roughy 150-200$ million and if they lose one over a poor country but a powerful species ruling it. they will become anxious about demons and their capabilities.
há divisão dentro do governo nazista ucraniano e dentro do exército ucraniano. zelensky está ameaçado pela própria agência de inteligência ucraniana que podem sim derrubá-lo do poder. eles podem tentar vários planos mas estão divididos por dentro!
the ukrainians will those who will enter the government buildings in kiev and start the purge against the corrupted fascist junta. typical usa blueprint: first they arm you then they throw you under the bus, they did it with sdam, kadaffi and many others
possibly. z (what irony!) will have to go – but will retire comfortably to his villa(s) and millions of money.
russia must take very seriously to increase and take over the eastern side of dnipro, before end of september, if not next summer russia will have an coalition’s army with 2 millions men to destroy russia.
swedish mercenary daniel nyström dies in dniper under ‘unknown circumstances’.
the militant, who arrived in ukraine in march 2022, fought as part of the azov battalion in andreevka.
swedish media reported that the neonazi was preparing to return to sweden to his pregnant wife. but went to bandera for an appointment. rest in pieces bro, we will miss you
military men are dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns for foreign policy.”
does not apply to all military men but certainly to this swedish dumbass.
they always think it’s the other guy who will get his balls blown off like in hollywood.
good, has the sob gone to valhalla?
one by one marching straight to hell
slava russia. us + ukraine = zero.
promoting “cannon fodder” factory into the best organ harvesting el dorado of all times ever.
almost everything is used to the last bone.
except maybe “soilent green” might be produced (out of flesh) as well.
than, they would achieve 100% sustainable (ukrainian) project.
germany and france are also going for negotiations. what „west“ escalates then? bolivia and chile? nah… it‘s almost exclusively gb and their ilk in the us.
when you combine drug addiction and mental illness in a leader like scumskyy and add senility and uncontrolled greed to his backers the world becomes a very very scary place.
drug addiction and mental illness , indeed , witness the perverted stupid fucks commenting here.
rf by mala čím skôr vytvoriť si vojenské základne na kube, vo venezuele a v nikarague!!! to by tých debilov vo washingtone poriadne vydesilo. a hlavne by s tým ani nemohli nič urobiť, nakoľko ich vojská sa zase nachádzajú v eu!!! bolo by to ako sa hovorí fifty-fifty!!!
russian military operation has been failure. bloody draw is now best kreml can achieve.
4 new oblasts so far, yea a failure
they wanted to minimize collateral damage. they probed. they made a meat grinder. they realize they will have to govern over conquered territory. russia will not put people in a building and burn it like the zionist nuland brigade did in odessa. they will not snipe citizens and bomb russian speaking people like kiex did for eight years. east ukraine wants russia.
yeah , and i am bugs bunny !
not only did belgorod action show that the considerable russian border with ukraine was undefended, but more significantly, russia did not have a reserve maneuver battalion available to respond to the invasion within 12 hours of it. this is kind of surprising. it appears that they have committed all their maneuver battalions to ukraine and have little spare..
one wonders what would happen if ukraine invaded belgorod province with some of the 12 brigades it is holding back for the spring offensive? anyhow, the freedom of russia legion (it claims to have two battalions) said they lost no one in this operation, while russian is claiming they killed 70. the latter claim is nonsense.
russian conventional warfare machine has been revealed to be weaker than none in nato could even imagine.
tan débil que tiene capturado más de 120,000 kilómetros cuadrados de los nazis ucranianos.
this was just experiment to test readiness. russians are unprepared for civil war inside russia. so is lukashenko…
belgorod show proves there is a real danger in europe because of nazis. thanks russia there are more and more daily eliminated. please send all of them to ukraine.
it’s great that west can beat the shit out of russia and make it crawling and finally beg for mercy. happy to live these days. russian suckers can’t defend themselves and that’s really nice.
está más cerca rusia de kiev o ucrania de moscú? :-)
the dragon needs more time but won’t get it. sloth people will be mad. normies will melt down. be ready, decent people.
putin can put his red line to his own ass because putin bastard is digging his own grave now.
the dog = collective west eats its own vomit. see ii peter 2:10-end, ii thess 2: 10-end. what’s there to comprehend is that god is on the side of russia, but as many as possible of y’all, consecrate. best efforts, not perfection! that quickens the victory.
si le van a dar a kiev un montonazo de cazas f 16 medio muertos
osea todos los que encuentren viejos en las bases
o en cementerios de aviones etc pero restaurados a full
y tripulados por ukroamericanos nacionalizados de la cia
no hace falta decir nada mas esta guerra sera eterna
la proxima vez le van a dar un montonazo de cazas f 15
sacados de los cementerios de aviones restaurados
y puestos a nuevo gran negocio para las fabricas de armas
los rusos no deben confiar en la palabra de los norteamericanos o los protestantes
por que no tienen palabra ni sentido del honor !!
for 20 years starting in 1997, russia leased the naval base in sevastopol from ukraine. at the time, 1997 stood out as the peak of friendship between russia and ukraine, but it turned out to be a serious mistake for ukraine’s security. russia’s lease facilitated russia’s occupation of crimea in february and march 2014. legally, sevastopol has all along been ukrainian territory. in december 1991, the populations in sevastopol and crimea voted freely to belong to ukraine.
warsaw, london and washington are going to get themselves nuked . the krauts too if they’re not careful .
they’re not careful
understand that there is no difference between republicans (neo-cons) and democrats (neo-liberals) other than ideological mumbo jumbo. trump will just divert all attention and funding away from the russophobes and channel it to the sinophobes for operations against china. make no mistake about that. the only way to end this beastiality is to create a new system of peace through development.
much of this is psy-ops but zionskyy should still be still be checked for rabies
