This is what happens when a bunch of ragged hyenas, jackals and tiny rodents poke The Bear: a new geopolitical order is born in breathtaking speed.
From a dramatic meeting of the Russian Security Council to a history lesson delivered by President Putin and the subsequent birth of the Baby Twins – the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk – all the way to their appeal to President Putin to intervene militarily to expel the NATO-backed Ukrainian bombing-and-shelling forces from Donbass, it was a seamless process.
The (nuclear) straw that (nearly) broke the Bear’s back – and forced its paws to pounce – was Zelensky the Comedian, back from the Russophobia-drenched Munich Security Conference where he was hailed like a Messiah, saying that the 1994 Budapest memorandum should be revised and Ukraine should be nuclear-rearmed.
That would be the equivalent of a nuclear Mexico south of the Hegemon.
Putin immediately turned Responsibility to Protect (R2P) upside down: an American concept invented to launch wars in MENA (remember Libya?) was retrofitted to stop a slow-motion genocide in Donbass.
First came the recognition of the Baby Twins – Putin’s most important foreign policy decision since going to Syria in 2015. That was the preamble for the next game-changer: a “special military operation (…) aimed at demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine”, as Putin defined it.
Up to the last minute, the Kremlin was trying to rely on diplomacy, explaining to Kiev the necessary imperatives to prevent heavy metal thunder: recognition of Crimea as Russian; abandon any plans to join NATO; negotiate directly with the Baby Twins – an anathema for the Americans since 2015; finally, demilitarize and declare Ukraine as neutral.
Kiev’s handlers, predictably, would never accept the package – as they didn’t accept the Master Package that really matters: the Russian demand for “indivisible security”.
The sequence, then, became inevitable. In a flash, all Ukrainian forces between the so-called line of contact and the original borders of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts were boxed in as the occupying force of territories of two Russian allies that Moscow had just sworn to protect.
So it was Get Out – Or Else. “Or else” came as rolling thunder: the Kremlin and the Russian Ministry of Defense were not bluffing. Timed to the end of Putin’s speech announcing the operation, the Russians decapitated with precision missiles everything that mattered in terms of the Ukrainian military in just one hour: Air Force, Navy, airfields, bridges, command and control centers, the whole Turkish Bayraktar drone fleet.
And it was not only Russian raw power. It was the artillery of one of the Baby Twins, the DPR, that hit the HQ of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Donbass, which actually housed the entire Ukrainian military command. This means that the Ukrainian General Staff instantly lost control of all its troops.
This was Shock and Awe against Iraq, 19 years ago, in reverse: not for conquest, not as a prelude for an invasion and occupation. The political-military leadership in Kiev did not even have time to declare war. They froze. Demoralized troops started deserting. Total defeat – in one hour.
The water supply to Crimea was instantly re-established. Humanitarian corridors were set up for the deserters. “Remnants” now include mostly surviving Azov battalion Nazis, mercenaries trained by the usual Blackwater/Academi suspects, and a bunch of Salafi-jihadis.
Predictably, Western corporate media has already gone totally berserk branding it as the much-awaited Russian “invasion”. A reminder: when Israel routinely bombs Syria and when the House of One Saudi routinely bombs Yemeni civilians, there is never any peep in NATOstan media.
As it stands, realpolitik spells out a possible endgame (see Donetsk’s head, Denis Pushilin: “The special operation in Donbass will soon be over and all the cities will be liberated.”)
We could soon witness the birth of an independent Novorossiya – east of the Dnieper, south along Sea of Azov/Black Sea, the way it was when attached to Ukraine by Lenin in 1922. But now totally aligned with Russia, and providing a land bridge to Transnistria.
Ukraine, of course, would lose any access to the Black Sea. History loves playing tricks: what was a “gift” to Ukraine in 1922 may become a parting gift a hundred years later.
I DO NOT SUPPORT ANYONE POLITICALLY, I CONSIDER MYSELF A CITIZEN OF THE HEAVENS, WAITING FOR THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.
AS FOR PUTIN, BIDEN IS A MILK SAP PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY COMPARED TO HIM, AND CERTAINLY A BRILLIANT GENIUS. PUTIN IS 69 YEARS OF AGE AND HAS THE HEALTH OF SOMEONE IN THEIR 30’S AND 40’S. HE RIDES HORSE, FLIES HELICOPTERS, SCUBA DIVES, MARTIAL ARTS, WRESTLING, GETS INVOLVED WITH NATURE AND WILD ANIMALS, VISITS SCHOOLS AND HELPS STUDENTS WITH THEIR SCHOOL WORK, CLIMBS MOUNTAINS, AND A WHOLE LOT MORE; INCLUSIVE OF, HIS ACADEMIC BRILLIANCE AS WELL. HE IS NO FUNNY CARTOON MAN!
HERE IN THE ONCE USA WE HAVE BIDEN AS WELL AS TRUMP WHO ARE BOTH MURDERS AND VACCINE FREAKS, THAT DO NOT WANT TO DO RIGHT, AND DO NOT KNOW A DAMNED THING ABOUT RUNNING A COUNTRY, OTHER THAN TO MAKE MONEY.
Thank you SeaShell. It’s pretty obvious that the American establishment installed Biden for the reasons you give — a feeble minded puppet and his ‘performances’ are painful to watch.
Seashell, you are completely wrong about one thing – your lumping President Trump (still is) along with ineffectual and criminal Biden. You do not know the whole massive, world-wide project that is going on outside of a chronic, lying-media dominated movie. President Trump is highly intelligent, speaks in code, plays 5-dimensional chess, possesses the nuclear suitcase (certainly not Biden the imposter), still uses Air Force 1 and is controlling much of the US military who respect him deeply – as he so well deserves. And if President Trump had not instituted the warp speed vax – a hard decision – we would have been in lockdown immediately and forever by the NWO puppets presently reigning over us, and likely ALL DEAD from their de-population agenda to the 500 million population worldwide they badly desired. You are only half right Seashell – right about Putin, bless you, but WRONG about President Trump. We are in a critical chess game which President Trump and his Alliance must win.
The ultimate aim of this project/chess game is to save our souls. What is needed now is for people like you to wake up to the whole plan – the waking up is so desirable for as many people as possible, but the plan will go ahead regardless. Time to fix up that other half Seashell!
And by the way, we are ALL citizens of the heavens, not just the Jesus people. Read Matthew 22 – the wedding parable. Some of the Jesus people did not enter the heavens either!
