The (quite possible) Ukrainian quagmire

Peter Man

Overheard on the web • The voices of our most lucid anti-war/anti-imperialist thinkers.

Always incisive, Peter Man looks at the complicated situation in Ukraine, America's sociopathic cynicism, Moscow's difficult dilemmas, and the likely fate of all attack dogs. Especially when they bark in Ukrainian.

Zelensky with Ukie troops. More a captive figurehead and puppet than real leader. The orders to create a festering wound on Russia's doorstep are really given in Washington.

Question: Did the Americans finally succeed in giving Russia her own Vietnam quagmire?

This article became obsolete before people got a chance to read it. DV doesn't understand that it's not about Donetsk and Luhansk. It's about US arming Neo-Nazis Russo- hate-mongers and preparing to bring WMD to the gates of Moscow. This is an existential threat. Since the Ukrainian comedian and the Neo-Nazis are the people who think they enjoy Americas friendship and promises of protection, they will be made a lesson for future attack dogs. Unfortunately, attack dogs are usually stupid and delusional.

If America agreed to let Ukraine be a NMZ, then there is peace for all. Since America does not want peace for Russia, then they have no choice but to make Ukraine into a NMZ. The operation will not end until Russia achieves this objective. This is not ideal for Russia because it has no choice. Russia should never have gotten itself into this poor strategic position. But rest assured that Russia will get its pound of meat. All those NATO Baltic chihuahuas think that its okay to bait the bear, but once you let loose the dogs of war, they will soon have to learn to live in fear, because you may not be able to get the dogs back into the cage after Ukraine.

Regarding Taiwan, if China is not careful, they will be forced into war as well. It is imperative that China should summarily reunify at the next opportune time, completing the operation within one day. The alternative will be unpleasant, like what's happening in Ukraine today.

Provocations? I don't see no provocations!
The audacity of hypocrites: The imperialist-controlled, EU think tank European Policy Centre (EPC) has the gall, like the rest of the Western disinformaiton machine, to speak of Russia's unprovoked attack on Ukraine. Unprovoked, indeed! Just 30 years of nonstop threats and maneuvers to strangle, destabilise and dismember Russia, opening her to the capitalist vultures of the West.

Art of War, Sun Tzu. America harms Russia without suffering a single casualty. America doesn't care about Ukraine. Its just an attack dog. In a real fight, the attack dogs die first. But the attack dogs can bite and harm Russia. What about America having to spend billions to arm Ukraine so the attack dogs will have teeth? Money is nothing to America. They print their trillions, which come from the people's debt, while the money created goes to the elite-owned Military Industrial Propaganda Complex, a part of which supports the political/technology/media structure which keeps the country in perpetual war and provides unlimited budgets for war, a perfect cyclical economy that supports the capitalist Big Lie that a number on a ledger created out of thin air represents wealth. Not only that, but the rest of the world eventually helps to pay for the war budget because the USD is the worlds reserve currency.  Anyone who disagrees will be starved or bombed to the Stone Age, except for China and Russia who can defend themselves. America prints trillions and the world suffers from inflation, not just America. The elites don't pay for inflation, as their property holdings will increase in value, the people who pay for groceries, rent, and daily necessities suffer from inflation but who cares. Not only that, but distant wars actually help the American war-based economy and cause the US Dollar to rise in value against its profligate printing. In war zones, people tend to hoard US Dollars, taking US Dollars out of circulation. America also makes it hard for US Dollars to be repatriated. So the hegemon wins when you are forced to fight a war against your brethren who have been turned into attack dogs for the empire; you're also paying for it. This is a good lesson for China to not find itself in such a poor strategic situation.

What can Russia hope to achieve from this unwanted war? Russia must from now on be much more influential in the affairs of Ukraine. All de-Russification must be reversed, including the separation of the Orthodox Church. The Russian language will be one of the official languages to be taught at schools. The Neo-Nazis will be deligitimized and their crimes duly prosecuted. Ukraine must have a treaty with Russia and be a member of the federation. Foreign media and NGOs must be licensed (actually best simply kicked out and kept out, as they are mostly disinformation agents and spies.—TGP) There will be Russian bases. Then we’ll have peace. Alternatively, Russia will employ FOABs (enormous bombs short of nuclear—TGP) which will kill everything within a 300m radius. It will be cruel, but such is war. Learn from Sun Tzu, do not get yourself in that situation.

Hopefully, the Ukraine side will finally come to its senses. When Russia succeeds in their operation, it will be the turn of the three Baltic states to shake in their boots, NATO or no NATO.
