Why the US-led West must win in Ukraine at all costs
If the US-led West loses to Russia in Ukraine, the US’s role as a leading world power will be history. For the USA, Ukraine is about the survival of its system, which is based on domination and exploitation of the world.
.
From a transatlanticist’s perspective, it is a terrible idea that countries other than the United States could have influence on the world order. However, this also shows why the West is increasingly isolated internationally, because the rest of the world has long been fed up with having to live by the rules set by the US-led West.
You may think of Russia, China, Iran and so on as evil regimes, but they all have one thing in common: They do not tell other countries and peoples how they should live, which “values” they should find great, or according to which one political or economic system they should live. Therefore, the prospect of Russia, China and other opponents of the West determining the coming world order is positive news for most countries in the non-Western world.
Robertson also said in the interview that the current situation is “almost a confrontation of alliances,” effectively confirming the Russian thesis that Russia is not at war with Ukraine but with the collective West, adding:
“The countries of the Global South decide which side they are on, but they do not seem to realize that what is happening also affects their interests.”
Yes, these countries have recognized this very well and their sympathy clearly lies with Russia, even if many have not yet declared this publicly for fear of Western punitive measures such as sanctions. But you can see it clearly if you remember, for example, the G20 summit, which was a spectacular failure for the West.
.
Would you rather have the end of the world than the end of US dominance?
This is also their attitude towards total war!
.
A conflict between Russia and NATO would lead to the end of humanity, not a Russian defeat. But apparently for some Western hawks, the end of the world is the lesser evil than the end of US global domination.
Corporate power is in danger
French Foreign Minister Stephane Sejournet gave an interview to the newspaper Le Parisien in which he said that if Russia defeats Ukraine, it would control 30 percent of world grain exports:
This is an interesting argument when you consider that the West is currently making life difficult for small farmers and forcing them to give up their farms. This is not an exaggerated formulation, because in the Netherlands this is officially said and implemented. The beneficiaries will be a few Western food companies.

Clearly neither of you have any concept of military operations from the tactical level on up.
Yes, the civilians of Donbass continue to take casualties from Ukie war crimes, but they are nothing like the casualties that would have resulted from a nazi invasion of Donbass and the seizure of more cities, let alone the war that would have to follow to expell the nazis.
Posted by: Honzo | Jan 21 2024 17:06 utc | 39

Ukraine controlled most of the Donbas before the war and still controls parts of it. Like Avdiivka. Russia went after Donbas cities like Mariupol, Severodonetsk. Bahkmut, Lysichance and Popasnya before going all in on Avdiivka, the heavily fortified city that shells Donetsk City civilian areas.

LOL. They showed Klitschko’s ‘water pipe’ as evidence of a downed Kinzhal. It has a pointy nose like Kinzhal, but is is much less sharp than the Kinzhal.
How many times this needs to be said, US Media exists mostly for propping up faltering US weapon products to save their sales.
Ukraine has maybe managed to down some decoy, recon and occasional subsonic missiles with Nato air defense weapons. That’s it. Even as a standard, all new cruise missiles produced now are some supersonic variant, significantly improving their survivability or probability of reaching target. Forget about Kinzhal.

There are whispers from Kyiv that Zaluzhny will be fired and CIA favorite Kyrylo Budanov is taking over the Ukrainian Armed Forces. If it’s true here’s why:
The real President of Ukraine, Victoria Nuland, needs someone crazy enough to blow up a nuclear power plant and Budanov is her guy. She needs a pretext for NATO troops to enter Ukraine, urgently. Russia is winning the US proxy war and Nuland is running out of options.
In her deranged mind the best way to get NATO involved is to harm Europeans with a radioactive cloud from a nuclear power plant that Russia allegedly destroyed. The Propaganda media would sell the story and suppress the truth as it has done throughout the war.
If Budanov executes Nuland’s dirty plan he would become the next Zelenskyy. That’s her promise and his ambition.
Zaluzhny would leave a vacuum. Ukrainian soldiers are burned out. Assistance from the West has dried up, temporarily. The window for Putin to end this war on Russias terms is now. Expect a major push.

“How many times this needs to be said, US Media exists mostly for propping up faltering US weapon products to save their sales.” – unimperator
Notice the the vast majority of US news outlets use Institute for the Study of War (ISW) as their chief source of expert analysis on the Ukraine conflict.
ISW, a public relations or propaganda agency which poses as a “think tank,” is anything but objective. It just echoes rhetoric and lies emitted by NATO, the Ukrainian government, and the US State Dept.
That says it all about American media’s credibility on Ukraine-related news.

re 209 post and the link to the Newsweek quoting a “Chinese millitary guy” …. what a pile of BS!! … I wander if the guy who posted this, even read the whole article, he certainly did not attempt to check the information!
Let’s look first at who is it supposedly writing – they are referencing a guy which never published anything in western media & for our side of the divide he essentially does not exist – so much for credibility! – meaning essentially none. Also Chinese millitary guys as connected as they could be to Russian Mic would not have any chance of knowing how the kinzhal technology is working or not – so referencing a Chinese guy as an expert is just blatantly pathetic – it’s like car mechanic talking about the latest space ship developments – a commentary not worth the warm beer he is drinking! I wander at what point people wake up & stop lapping up BS just because it is written in the “media” – checking the sources & crosschecking info with the other side should become a second nature for anyone trying to consume this kind of content!!!
Another truly typical hint is that this “guy” is referred to by another “guy” who is from …. wait for it – Rand corporation !!! – now if that’s not a give away than nothing is! This reminds me the 50 FBI agents which signed a letter that Hunter Biden’s Laptop is not a real story only 3 weeks before 2020 Elections were due – and all media republished it without any question of what was their proof to make such conclusion – 3 years later and thousands of hours of obfuscated investigation and guess what – the 50 guys signed it only to keep their job & Hunter Biden’s laptop is not only real but contains incriminating material on both “the father & the son” (lol). People should demand proof & if it is not provided than none of their statements should be considered as worth any consideration.
Last and biggest hint that this is all BS coping is that all (google) searches point to the same information feeding of itself & all other MSM media outlets run with very similar stories bouncing unconfirmed information as if it was given & proven so (and yet the very picture of supposedly kinzhal shown in this article does not resemble even the very basic profile of the rocket which is shown in many other photos mounted on Russian jets) … but unless one goes outside of the scope of the mentioned article or anyone not in the know about this issue will not be able to possibly tell that what’s being written is complete coping bollocks.
Now, if someone wants to read up sound commentary which I think on this topic an many others discerning Russian Military I recommend Andrei Martyanov. He tends to rant on his u-tube channel, but he always pricks BS bubles with ease, most of the time by just looking at who is the author and who they are working for. But he can do that because he is an expert in this area and have done tons of research.
ps – it amazes me how many brainless posts are floating around here these days – I mean it used to be much better – but then there is far more gaslighting going on than before (apologies to the minority which makes effort to post something of relevance)

When the Russians kill foreign “mercenaries” (real NATO armed forces including the French) who are sent to Ukraine as experts on the latest wonderwaffe weapons, the USE of those arms may be reduced. Due to loss of expertise as well as lack of ammunition. Cumulative benefit for the SMO.
There is a vsague possibility that DU ammunition has been supplied by the US, as seen used on a Russian T-90M tank by two Bradleys, although Simplicius notes that the crew excaped, so the hull was apparently not “breached” lethally.

Stonebird | Jan 22 2024 12:30 utc | 234
Watching the video, it looked as though the T-90 was blinded by the first burst from the Bradly.
It then moved around it seemed blindly trying to find cover, I assume so a hatch could be opened. Perhaps just the gun sight knocked out right at the start but a bit later completely blind. Towards the end of the video I saw, the turret began spinning so some internal damage done but no smoke. With the turret swinging round and round it headed off blindly but came to a stop against a tree or something and the video ended there. With turret controls gone, there is a good chance of casualties in the crew. I assume turret controls – electrics hydraulics ect would be in the main part of the hull rather than the engine bay.

There is still room for escalation left, but I doubt that a change at the helm is needed for that. Either Vicci is in charge or she is not, we have to make up our minds.
And I doubt anything radioactive, since that would devaluate the fertile soil in Ukraine. My bet is on chemical disaster, that accusation has proven to work and does not leave the land uninhabitable. How about a nerve gas attack in Awdejewka, that would be convinient, right?

We have been over this countless times.
1) If you do not reestablish deterrence, you will be destroyed conventionally, slowly, piece by piece.
2) If you are not the first to use nukes, you may not even get the chance to be the second.

deterrence means :
On Basic Principles of State Policy of the Russian Federation on Nuclear Deterrence
https://archive.mid.ru/en/web/guest/foreign_policy/international_safety/disarmament/-/asset_publisher/rp0fiUBmANaH/content/id/4152094
– 5. The Russian Federation considers nuclear weapons exclusively as a means of deterrence, their use being an extreme and compelled measure…
– III. Conditions for the transition of the Russian Federation to the use of nuclear weapons
– 17. The Russian Federation reserves the right to use nuclear weapons in response to the use of nuclear and other types of weapons of mass destruction against it and/or its allies, as well as in the event of aggression against the Russian Federation with the use of conventional weapons when the very existence of the state is in jeopardy.

The theoretical use of nuclear weapons is clearly limited to extraordinary circumstances within the scenarios outlined in the Military Doctrine of the Russian Federation and the Fundamentals of State Policy in the Sphere of Nuclear Deterrence. These are open documents. Anyone can read them.

A very sensible account of these attacks on civilian targets.
https://t.me/belarusian_silovik/28888

Trusted comrades from the front have repeatedly told me that attacks on civilians are almost always carried out by NATO mercenaries, usually Poles. And here it is clear that, in this case, the Ukrainian Armed Forces can learn about the shelling of peaceful neighborhoods after the fact, already from the shelling, since the orders are given by curators from the USA or Great Britain.
The meaning of these actions is clear – the accumulation of enmity, so that our people do not take Ukrainians prisoner, so that they begin to respond even more harshly, that is, in the end, to tighten the spiral of war and create conditions for the impossibility of a peaceful resolution of the conflict and reconciliation between Russians and Russians.
And this will continue. The war, according to their plans, should go to the last Ukrainian. And only the residents of Ukraine and their military can stop the curators at this stage.

Context on the origin of the war.
Last night I was watching Yoav Shamir’s Defamation (2009) film and suddenly at 36 min in the video I was taken to a meeting (15 people maybe) including an assistant to then Ukrainian president, Yushchenko, and the presicdnt of the Anti-Defamation League. The Ukrainian envoy was seeking Israel assisrance to establish a relationship with the US to distance Ukraine from the Russian influence and to create a US-Ukraine relationship as the future direction of Ukrainian politics.
* https://archive.org/details/defamation-yoav-shamir
That was 5 or 6 years before Maidan.
Such aspirations by a section of the Ukrainian politicians is not a problem per se. However the devil is in the details and the means used to achieve that goal by using violence at all levels against other Ukainians has resulted in immense suffering and no improvements yet.
