Two worlds - two wars. Part Two

Part one is here.

The results of the "first stage" are obvious – Ukraine has completely lost its navy, most of its extensive military infrastructure (bases, airfields, weapons depots, etc.), and has been left without an air force. Our army managed to practically complete the creation of the so-called "cauldrons", in which parts of the UAF, nazis and nationalists are surrounded in the offensive zone.

That is, we can assume that the number one task set by President Putin, the "demilitarisation" of Ukraine as a whole, is being successfully carried out.

In fact, this is being also recognised during the current virtual road show of the "evil dwarf" Zelensky (as one of my wise acquaintances called him) under the slogan "foreigners will help us" (thanks to Ilf and Petrov for this phrase, which has become, as they say now, a meme). This figure, whom I personally refuse to recognise as a legitimate Ukrainian leader, consistently speaks before parliaments of different countries – from America to Australia and, according to an old acting habit, before the participants of the Oscar and Grammy award ceremonies.

His American puppeteers apparently managed to get through to his drug-clouded brain remnant, so now he no longer demands to urgently accept Ukraine into NATO, close the sky over Ukraine, which would inevitably lead to the transition of a "special military operation" into a global war, but only begs for new cash handouts and weapons. As he plaintively begged in one of his speeches to the Europeans: well, give us at least one percent of your tanks and planes, otherwise we have nothing to fight with.

And in a recent interview with the American television company Fox News, he whined with tears in his voice: "Just give us the missiles. Give us the planes. You can't give us [fighter jets] F-18 or F-19 or whatever you have there. Give us old Soviet planes. That's it." Like, "God, give us what you don't need”.

Since his actor's skills, admittedly, are not so bad, he clearly surpassed another character of the same authors – "a former deputy of the State Duma" - in the power of persuasion Kisa Vorobyaninov. No matter what this "giant of thought" and "father of Ukrainian democracy" says, for some reason I always hear something familiar from childhood: "Monsieur, I have not eaten for 6 days. Give me please some kopeks to buy a piece of bread. Give something to the former deputy of the State Duma".

And the worst thing is that these very "foreigners" still continue to help the Kiev regime by supplying weapons to Ukraine, including offensive ones. Britain and Germany were especially successful in this, and the Pentagon recently notified the US Congress about providing additional assistance to Ukraine for another $300 million.

Meanwhile, Washington has already allocated $1.6 billion to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia's military operation. And since the beginning of the Biden administration, $2.3 billion has been spent for these purposes. Now the United States is going to supply Ukraine with laser-guided missile systems, Switchblade and Puma unmanned aerial vehicles, air defence systems, armoured vehicles, ammunition, night vision devices, communication systems, machine guns and - and this cannot but to be particularly alarming - chemical protection products.

I think it is clear to any objective person that by doing so they only prolong the agony of the Ukrainian junta and provoke new victims among the civilian population.

Now our troops, as everyone knows, are on the approaches to a number of major cities, but they are in no hurry to enter there.

They have come to the most difficult stage of the military operation, because the fighting inside the cities is very different from those that are conducted in the open area, especially considering that by order of Zelensky, machine guns and other weapons were distributed to everyone. I do not know how our commanders will solve this problem, but in any case, I am sure that they will try to avoid civilian casualties as much as possible.

The nationalists and nazis entrenched there have nothing to lose, because they understand perfectly well that they will not get out of there alive. Fascists and terrorists remain so, regardless of what language they speak and what God they pray to. 

When the Americans predicted that our troops would reach Kiev in two days, they proceeded from their own mentality based on the principle of "victory at any cost”. But we are just not Americans. Unlike them, we do not attribute civilian casualties to the so-called "collateral damage". There is simply no such thing in our military vocabulary.

And an unexpected confirmation, in my opinion, of the perverted mentality of Western politicians was their reaction to the disgusting and hastily fabricated fake about the so-called "genocide" in the city of Bucha. I will not repeat why this whole story is a lie from beginning to end – a lot has already been written about it these days. I'm interested in something else.

The hysterical ladies holding high ministerial posts in Germany and England were the first to react to the nightmarish videos from Bucha almost simultaneously. Well, what to expect from them - maybe they just have thongs (or whatever they wear under their skirts) which put pressure on their brain, and do the Minister of Defence or the Minister of Foreign Affairs really need to understand the degree of freshness of blood and cadaver stains? It's not a woman's business. But then, after them, the men also, Macron and Johnson, who did not even bother to take at least some pause to analyse the video materials, screamed

That is, they fully take for granted that the Russian army, which, by virtue of its history and culture, represents the most humanistic-minded country in the world, is capable of killing civilians. Obviously, they judge by themselves, and I can remind you that the planes of these countries participated in the criminal bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999, as a result of which several thousand civilians, including women and children, were killed. Another sad anniversary of this crime, by the way, was celebrated the other day. By the way, France back then allocated the most of all combat aircraft among Europeans to kill civilians.

Digressing a little from the topic, I can't help but say that the casting of this fake pursued at least three goals. Firstly, to divert attention from the negative effect in the world caused by the publication of documentary footage of the brutal torture of Russian prisoners of war by Ukrainian nationalists.

Secondly, to soften the accusations of betrayal, which were showered on Kiev after certain concessions, which the Ukrainian negotiators allegedly made became known. And, thirdly, at least to provoke a new outbreak of anti-Russian rhetoric and sanctions, and at most once again try to involve third countries in the conflict, that is, to achieve its globalisation.

After that, I admit, I simply do not understand the point in continuing the so-called peace talks with representatives of the illegal Kiev regime, which replaced the previous one, which came to power as a result of a coup. In wartime, such negotiations can be successful only in one case: when one of the parties admits its imminent defeat and thus tries to bargain for some preferential terms of surrender.

And in conclusion: since at the beginning of the article I said that at one time I studied history quite diligently, then according to the laws of the genre I am obliged to loop this topic.

I don't know about the current generation, but at school we knew by heart Lermontov's poem "Borodino" about the battle, as a result of which the Napoleonic army was dealt a severe blow, but in the end our troops still had to leave Moscow.

But few people remember that our great commander Mikhail Illarionovich Kutuzov did not want this battle, believing that the Russian army, weakened as a result of a long retreat, was not ready for a decisive battle. In the memoirs of his contemporaries, much has been written about how this decision was painful to him. Even Leo Tolstoy in his great novel "War and Peace" could not help but write: "He was horrified at the thought of the order he had to give." Yet he had to make this decision, which was more political than military. But to surrender Moscow without a fight was unthinkable.

I remembered this because I am sure that the decision to launch a "special military operation" was very difficult for our leadership. But it is the battle that Russia was obliged to give in order to remain a great country and not lose the respect of its citizens.

And those who doubt this, I can ask one simple question: "Does the state, and in this case Russia, have the right, in the presence of an obvious existential threat, to leave several million of its compatriots and citizens for imminent extermination, even if they live on the other side of the border?"

Yes, of course, any military action is a tragedy – I can repeat it endlessly. But still, personally, I can only give an affirmative answer to the question I have posed myself. We had no other choice. And capitulation to the so-called "collective West", against which we are actually fighting in Ukraine, would mean the death of Russia as a sovereign state.
