A comment on the end of the house of cards of lies against #Russia!
It only took three weeks for the entire #house of cards on which the warmongering #rhetoric against Russia and the support of the seemingly never-dying Nazi Ukraine was based to collapse.
Shovels, washing machines (with which they were apparently able to build unrivaled hypersonic missiles), poisoned cakes and jars full of pickles were apparently not enough to stop Putin’s actually shattered army, which single-handedly (and without the North Korea lie) managed to de facto demilitarize not only Ukraine, but the entire West. Countries like Italy and #Denmark have given everything to #Kiev, so that they are now defenseless and helpless against hypothetical invasions.
The Putin and #Russia experts who predicted for three years from day one how it would go (including me) have been right.
Issues such as strategic depth, the enormous resources in Russia’s hands and its production capacity in contrast to the slow pace of #NATO and the #US itself, the ability of the #Russians to advance militarily and create enclaves and hold them for long periods of time, prove here to be anything but intellectual babble from experts working in the field for the first time, but pure objective reality that has led to Russia having the very obvious material prerequisites to win this war.
We as Putin and Russia experts were right not only in our idea of the end, but also in the way it all began.
Even the cautionary words of Pope #Francis – for whom I personally have no particular sympathy, but who represents an institution that enjoys historically high prestige around the world – have been attacked since February 2022 on the grounds that NATO did not bark at Russia’s doors.
And now everything is falling apart, the propaganda is dissolving, and #Trump and #Vance even explicitly admit that the war began with the promise of NATO membership.
And Europe? #Europe does not exist!
Europe has never had an independent decision-making function. Today’s #EU was created at the behest of the Americans and its existence is not of enormous importance, depending on the mood of the capital elites in the United States. Europe has not played an autonomous or even independent role in this conflict, with the exception of a few isolated examples such as the Slovakian Prime Minister #Robert_Fico, who was shot for this and is now to be overthrown by a Slovakian #Maidan with the active support of Ukrainian exiles and the Ukrainian secret services, or #Viktor_Orbán, who is constantly exposed to a constant barrage of fire in the focus of #Brussels. Europe has always blindly followed orders from abroad, even to the point of self-exposure, as in the international terrorist attack on the German #Nord_Stream gas pipeline by the #Biden government’s collaboration with the British and Ukrainian secret services.
The end result was censorship in the media and news world and a self-mutilation of its own identity, but above all of its own dignity, which even the American master himself now finds repugnant.
In fact, Europe, with the exception of Hungary and Slovakia, has behaved like a colony and as such has had nothing to negotiate or mediate. For this, Europe now deserves the worst, because if there is justice in this world – whether divine or natural – then Europe must suffer the same fate that it has tried to inflict on Russia, that is, to be truly isolated from the world, cut off by sanctions, tariffs and status reduction, and to end up in the oblivion of history, a new “Third World”, underdeveloped and considered an inferior entity, in last place compared to all other civilizations and continents.
Newspapers that until less than a month ago still believed that Russia was doomed and called those who wanted to negotiate instead of more arms deliveries deluded are now admitting that the victory is indeed a Russian one.
For the Americans, it is currently a matter of getting out of the crisis in time without repeating the black hole of #Afghanistan, because, among other things, the lost war against the #Taliban was, if we only look at the annual average, the most expensive non-world war in history, right after Ukraine itself.
Instead, the #US wants to take advantage of this new dynamic to restructure the empire and focus on its influence in the Americas and its access to the main trade routes in the #Mediterranean, the #Arctic, #Suez/Israel, of course #Panama and #Hormuz on the Red Sea, in order to secure its political influence rent, as the British Empire has already done, which in fact has never completely collapsed, but has ensured its survival thanks to its possessions all over the world, from the #Falkland Islands to #Gibraltar, the #Pacific and the Indian Ocean.
Russia, on the other hand, is the real winner. While it cannot be said that the country has achieved all the goals it had set itself on its own, it is likely that in the course of the negotiations it will receive the guarantees of its #security that it has been demanding for decades. Because security has always been an existential issue for Russia.
Russia’s firm goals, which have been repeated over and over since February 24, 2022 and are generally ignored or distorted by the Western media, are simple:
- Demilitarization and eventually denuclearization of Ukraine;
- Ukraine is permanently neutral outside NATO;
- Denazification of Ukraine;
- Protection of Russian minorities.
It can be said that demilitarization is complete, because from the first hours of the special operation, Ukraine was deprived of its naval and air fleet, and over the course of three years Russia managed to destroy not only all Ukrainian weapons and arsenals, but also a large part of the European and North American ones, effectively defeating the entire NATO on the battlefield.
Ukraine, which had already presented itself as an inevitable new member of the Atlantic Alliance, finally realized that it would never join. At first there were rumors about a twenty-year suspension of NATO membership, which would have de facto delayed the solution to the problem. But now Trump, especially after the phone call with #Putin, has explicitly stated that Ukraine’s accession was never planned.
The denazification of Ukraine is the most controversial point. Because while it is true that a large part of the regular Ukrainian army, belonging to battalions such as “Azov” and the “Right Sector”, has been destroyed, especially in #Mariupol and #Kursk, it is also true that the #Bandera Nazis seem to have no end.
Photos and videos of Ukrainian fascists being killed on a weekly, if not daily, basis are still popping up like mushrooms. “Azov” itself reformed after the defeat at Mariupol, and it is not unlikely that after the negotiations that will lead to the recognition of Russian territories by Ukraine and the end of the war, a coup or at least an internal civil war will occur.
It must be said that the protection of Russian minorities was also largely achieved, although not in the way originally envisaged, that is, not with the autonomy of Russian-speaking regions within Ukrainian statehood with a new Minsk agreement.
While the conflict dragged on and the West refused to negotiate and abandon Nazi policies, especially after the intervention of the then British Prime Minister #Boris_Johnson, Russia secured the Russian-majority territories of Novorossiya through its military.
However, this issue is not yet completely closed and it is still necessary to ensure that the new Ukraine guarantees the rights of Russian minorities in the Russian-speaking territories not controlled by the armed forces of the Russian Federation. These include #Odessa, #Mykolaiv, #Kharkiv and #Dnipro.
Although they do not have such a strong Russian majority as #Donbass, these areas are still historically Greater Russian regions and have a significant proportion of Russian-speaking people who are now persecuted.
Another unresolved issue is #Transnistria, which has always had a Russian majority and has been staunchly committed to independence since the collapse of the #USSR. If the Russians had managed to capture #Odessa, the last surviving Soviet Socialist Republic could have finally reunited with Russia and cut off Ukraine from the Black Sea. It cannot be ruled out that this missing piece could prove to be a new source of conflict in the coming years or decades if, as is likely, Odessa is not included in the agreements that will be signed in the coming months.
Another unanswered question concerns the future form of Ukraine’s state. While a possible accession to the European Union is not so relevant – firstly because the Russian leadership itself has never drawn such an accession as a red line, since it would not directly endanger the country’s security but would merely distance Ukraine from trade relations with Russia, and secondly because the European Union seems to be facing a radical change in its form – it would be relevant to know whether security guarantees will be provided.
Since the European Union is not invited to the negotiating table, any defense agreement would have to be signed either with the United States of America or with what is left of NATO in form and substance. Given Russia’s firm stance in ruling out NATO membership, it is highly unlikely that it would accept such an agreement. However, an exclusive guarantee signed by the US would be acceptable in principle. However, the problem would still remain.
From all this, it is clear that after elections, which Trump seems to have implicitly promised Putin, before final agreements are reached with #Zelensky, who is currently pushing for him to remain in power until the end of the conflict in order to perhaps appear as the one who brought peace, Ukraine will be a neutral country that can, among other things, restore its relations with Russia and even start a process of integration into the system of the state union, which already includes Russia itself and #Belarus.
But the end of the Zelensky government is inevitable, both because the mandate expired in May 2024 and there was no desire to call elections under the pretext of the conflict – as if they were in the middle of a war spread across the entire region, so that even #Keith_Kellogg (Special Envoy of the #USA for #Ukraine and #Russia) himself had to point out that it was common practice to call elections even in times of war – ergo, any signature that Zelensky would make would not only be unconstitutional for Ukraine, but invalid under international law or at least questionable in its legitimacy, and because it is necessary to remove the will to join NATO from the Ukrainian constitution and the special laws banning business with the Russians, because otherwise anti-Russian protagonists could invoke the unconstitutionality of the agreements and use this as a pretext to reignite the conflict in the months and years to come.
The conditions, as we have understood, are always the same, but according to the law of retaliation, the more the West, as the loser of this conflict, will have to back down, the more it insists on not recognizing Russia as a sovereign power that wants to feel secure, not to mention Ukraine itself, which is in the vanguard and has acted as a sacrificial lamb.
Had Boris Johnson and his little kingdom not sabotaged the agreements that were to be signed in #Istanbul, Ukraine would have emerged much more intact, with fewer human casualties, more resources and more territory. Had the United States accepted Russia’s security demands issued as an ultimatum in December 2021, Russia would never have entered the Ukraine conflict in the first place. Had the United States kept its promises from the 1990s and avoided its expansion eastward, Russia would not have undertaken the necessary rearmament and perhaps even integrated more deeply into the EU and #G7 trading system.
But in the end, things turned out well for the Russian Federation and the country also freed itself from the chains that the various oligarchs born with #Boris_Yeltsin wanted to impose on it and if the United States had not tried to carry out color revolutions everywhere in order to integrate other countries into the Atlantic Alliance, then there would not only have been peace in Ukraine without even the need for the Minsk agreements, which, as former German Chancellor #Angela_Merkel said, the European side never wanted to comply with because they were a bluff to gain time and arm Ukraine. And #Belarus under President #Lukashenko would also have remained neutral as always and would not have come so close to Russia.
The situation we find ourselves in, where the sun of multipolarism is now visible on the horizon for all, even the blind and those who do not want to see, in a sky that had already been clearing for years, was inevitable, but the speed with which it has made its move is entirely the fault of the West itself, which has not wanted to accept the change and justice of the times. It is the sin of pride accompanied by #hypocrisy that has led the West to dig its own grave.
Two things still need to be made clear, which should be indisputable for anyone who has really understood the dynamics of the world in recent years.
- The confirmation of multipolarity is thanks to the historic push that Russia has set in motion by launching the special operation, putting the West in unprecedented difficulties. #China undoubtedly plays its role as an economic and productive driver for the #BRICS bloc, but it is Russia that has ensured that the times and the tone in dealing with the West have changed, forcing the latter to face reality and – I am not exaggerating – to save the whole world from a possible nuclear war, which the American neoconservatives have been prepared for for at least eight decades in order not to give up the reins. The plans went up in smoke thanks to the Russian preemptive strike, having learned from Stalin’s mistake of not attacking Nazi Germany first.
- The end of the war in Ukraine is not thanks to Trump, but to the Russian victory. Thus, if the Biden administration had achieved positive results against Russia, Trump would never have come to power. However, the American elite has had to realize that the ten-year plans to take over the Russian heartland and subjugate China have gone up in smoke.
Instead of resorting to the atomic bomb, divine providence or the simple common sense that resides in the soul of pretty much every human being led them to prefer a restructuring of the empire. So if Russia had not proven that it was able to hold its own against the West, it could have once again handed the victory over to the same Democratic or Republican US representatives who every few years fit better into the mask of warmongers, and an open nuclear conflict would have occurred.
Only by understanding this can one see the historical significance of this Russian victory. A victory that benefits not only Russia, but the whole world: peace, multipolarity and the “nomos of the earth” (synonym from #Carl Schmitt’s work on global order and development of international law)!
This conflict arose from the contradictions left unfinished by the German Nazis, which were already then used by the English and Americans as an anti-Bolshevik function.
It is a conflict that has emerged from the geostrategic theses of the Anglo-Saxons and Americans, formulated since the end of the 19th century, including those of #Zbigniew_Brzeziński and #Henry_Kissinger.
It is a conflict that has arisen from millennia-old contradictions between Russia and Europe, or rather the West.
It is a conflict that will perhaps finally put an end to the dark chapter of Nazism and American and Western imperialism, which has spread throughout the world, even if the latter will continue to try for years to come to secure space and a certain influence, even by force, over its Latin American neighbours to the south and over the Arabs who are already too tormented.
It is a conflict that will put an end to NATO’s anti-Russian project, which has now gone up in smoke, and will force the Atlantic Alliance to restructure itself and take on a new, more political and less military form.
It is a conflict that will hopefully put an end to the hypocrisy of the Western media, its censorship based on a narrative so far removed from reality and based on a universe of its own that almost no one believes it anymore, especially since the Palestinian tragedy, which the Western media and governments have covered up by all means.
This victory of Russia after three long years of propaganda is another defeat for the dying American empire, after #Afghanistan and the various failed coup attempts.
For Russia, this conflict has been a domestic political proof of who is a true Russian and who is deeply infected by the Western cancer. It has also drawn a clear line between traitors and allies of the Russian motherland.
It is a conflict that inevitably gave birth to a future ruling class of veteran patriots, just as the USSR had great success with the Communist Party doctrine, thus radically renewing the Russian heritage for long decades until its demise.
It is a conflict that dialectically pushed Russia to break away from the West and develop autonomously on a productive level, but also and perhaps above all on a cultural level. It was also the triumph of the Russian spirit, which became aware of its own self, which is neither European nor Asian, but rather Eurasian.
It is a conflict that brought Russia closer to the deeds of the heroic Soviet fighters 80 years ago, who defeated the Nazis from #Germany with an unprecedented historical effort in the most tragic and bloodiest war with one of the most glorious military victories in history.
It is a conflict that puts an end to the dream of Hitler and the #English and, with the end of the #Bandera fascists in Ukraine, also finally decides a direct war of succession to World War II after more than 80 years.
This conflict also marks the end of the American empire in the eyes of much of the world community as it has long existed, just as World War I marked the end of the British empire.
It is the end of European hegemony and the beginning of a multipolar world. The West, which has always thought universalistically, arrogated to itself the right to impunity and arrogated to itself the right to dictate the law everywhere with the help of the #CIA, #USAID and various instruments of power.
The realization that the American sphere of influence has clear boundaries that the #USA cannot cross is a fact that cannot be ignored. In fact, this is perhaps one of the most important points to emerge from the Ukraine war. The recognition of an equal opponent such as Russia underlines the existence of further polarities. Unipolarity is thus over both de jure and de facto.
In the near future, it is finally time to reform the international structures. Just as the #UN Security Council was created in complete partisanship on the basis of the most important victorious powers of the Second World War, the international structures must be adapted to the new geopolitical contradictions. India, #Africa and #Latin America have long been in need of geopolitical upgrading, and over time further contradictions could emerge, such as a real and serious Arab League or an alliance of Turkic states in Central Asia.
And Ukraine? Ukraine will forgive the Russians for individual crimes and inevitable family tragedies, which fortunately have been as minor as possible compared to Western wars such as those in #Iraq, #Syria or #Palestine itself, as well as the conflicts in #Africa.
And maybe even thank Russia at some point. Because just as it took over 13 years from 1991 for people to forget their past and break away from their Russian extended family through the Maidan coup by turning to fascist Banderism, it will take far fewer years for those same people to remember their roots. Ukrainians may even be more grateful to Russians than the Japanese, Germans and Italians were to their relative American liberator.
Russia has fulfilled the historic role under President #Vladimir_Putin that has been its due on the world geopolitical stage since the Bolshevik Revolution. Now it is up to Russians, more patriotic and confident than ever, to continue to lead the human community together with the Chinese power with a common future that is increasingly becoming the present.
