Russians intend to take revenge from the West
In 2014, Russia happily escaped the fate of the Second Carthage. But, at the same time, she missed a chance to defeat New Rome. Risk is equally the father of victory and defeat. Risky, as a rule, personalities are daring, strong-willed, but ... do not always win. If there is no victory, then there’s nothing to drink champagne for. This is in theory. In real life, everything is more complicated: defeat is sometimes worthy of victory!
Check for "lice"
The spring of the alarming and unusually impulsive 2014 stirred up the Russian nation and inspired its most energetic strata. The Russians, constantly retreating from different directions in the late 80s, accused of all conceivable and unimaginable sins, suddenly clearly realized: Crimea, Sevastopol - Rubicon, a red line, the transition for death is similar. At least spiritually. It is no accident that the events in Ukraine were called the Russian spring, the time when, excuse me, the ethnic identity of the Russians was tested for “lice”.
Who are you, the descendants of Svarog and Perun, trembling creatures, with whom everyone pushes around or self-sufficient personalities who have an opinion, which make you reckon with yourself !?
Such a dilemma has arisen for millions of Russians living in Ukraine from time immemorial, and for Russians, whose support was urgently needed by Ukrainian compatriots. The insolent Natsiks who came to power as a result of the Maidan coup d'etat threatened to "extort" the entire Russian-speaking population. Not only ethnic Russians, but also Ukrainians, for whom the Russian language is native. And this is neither more nor less than half the population of glorious Ukraine!
At the call of the soul, Crimea and the Donbass, which became centers of active resistance of the pro-Western junta, were moved by patriots from Russia prompted by noble solidarity motives. And if everything was resolved safely with the Crimea and the city of Russian sailors - Sevastopol. They became new subjects of Russia. Then in the Donbass, Kharkov and Odessa dramatic, sometimes tragic events took place.
The trap with fatal consequences
Odessa May 2 tragedy became Ukrainian Khatyn. Pro-Russian activists who wished to speak their native language and honored the memory of their ancestors - heroes of the Great Patriotic War, simply burned in the House of Trade Unions, a kind of headquarters of resistance to neo-Nazi ideology. They burned the current followers of the ideas of Bandera and Shukhevych - Hitler's minions!
Only the Russian state could radically support Russian and Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the southern and southeastern regions of Ukraine, which once constituted a vast area of the Russian Empire under the name Novorossia. The introduction of Russian troops into Ukraine depended on the will of one person - President Putin. The Federation Council, at the request of the President, vested him with relevant powers. The troops, exerting psychological pressure on the new rulers of Ukraine, repeatedly conducted exercises near its borders. But they did not enter the territory of Independence!
From open sources it is known that the issue of troop entry has been discussed twice. In March-April and early May, in the wake of the Odessa tragedy, when desperate prayers flew at the Kremlin — requests from Odessa residents: “Putin, send troops!”
The media leaked information about the Russian military, who strongly opposed the introduction of troops into the territory of a neighboring state. The main argument: there will be considerable casualties among the military! The generals were particularly concerned about the S-300 and Buk air defense systems, as well as the missile and artillery systems of the ground forces. Ukraine in 1991 got the most powerful grouping of the Soviet army with a huge amount of military equipment. And, despite the processes of “squandering” in previous years, the arsenal of weapons for 2014 remained quite impressive.
Some experts expressed the view that the burning of pro-Russian supporters in Odessa was a carefully thought-out brutal provocation, a cunning trap of Western intelligence services. The curators of the Kiev regime reasoned brilliantly simply. Russia, on an emotional wave, enters troops, is declared at various levels as a country - an aggressor, and it is being squeezed by a ring of various sanctions. Result: Russian economy “Torn to shreds”, people in distress and rebellion, there is a change of regime to a loyal West. Russian troops are withdrawn from Ukraine, a huge indemnity is paid for “aggression”. Money for contribution payments at high interest rates gladly give Western countries.
Russia is defeated and turned into a dependent, secondary power. Separatist tendencies are gaining strength in it, some republics are holding a referendum on independence. The Russian Federation is falling apart. The West establishes a protectorate and destroys Russian nuclear weapons. Former superpower - full "kirdyk"! Russians are divided into several “civilizational peoples”, accustoming Western values such as love for homosexuals and black migrants, not without pleasure sitting down on the tolerant neck of new frightened breadwinners!
A sad prospect, isn't it !? The fate of Russia in this situation is very reminiscent of the fate of Carthage - a powerful power of the Ancient World, who lost due to fatal mistakes in policy exalted on that Rome. In our case, the new West is the collective West!
Russia is not Carthage. We would win!
There are diametrically opposite calculations. Political scientists, conditionally attributed to the sovereigns, believe that Russia is not Carthage! Throughout its history, it withstood the most severe tests, overcoming obstacles, and became stronger each time.
“We would inevitably win.” The West would be forced to reconcile with Russia, with a new geopolitical alignment in Europe - the sovereigns are firmly convinced.
Whether in the place of Russian leaders the famous Carthaginian commander Hannibal or Napoleon, who was closer in time factor, they would definitely risk taking preference not to narrow-local, but to global actions. Both Napoleon and Hannibal were known as brilliant masters of strategy and tactics, they loved unexpected, discouraging adversaries, intuitively capturing the outcome of almost every battle. What would military geniuses do in relation to today?
To control Ukraine, it is not necessary and even unreasonable to keep the armed forces throughout its territory. It is enough to occupy the southern and southeastern regions: Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhya, Kherson, Nikolaev, Odessa, Donetsk and Lugansk. Industrial regions where pro-Russian sentiment is traditionally strong. Areas with access to the Black and Azov Seas. The rest of Ukraine, cut off from seaports and major industrial centers, is in a dependent, disadvantaged position and does not pose a strategic threat to Russia.
According to the supporters of the experts, by 2018, Russia would withdraw the army from these lands, forming a sufficiently strong and friendly state - the Republic of Novorossia with a population of about 20 million people. Yes, of course, I would have to seriously invest in the creation of an army of New Russia with a strength of at least 100 thousand bayonets. But this is the case when the game is worth the candle, and even what!
Western and central Ukrainian regions made up, in fact, Ukraine. The West would be forced to recognize not only Crimea as part of Russia, but also a new state - Novorossia. There would be a section of the Soviet project called “Ukraine” into two ideologically polar republics. One is the pro-Russian, strategic ally and partner of Russia. Another - the Ukrainian state, adhering to the ideas of Bandera - Shukhevych, would become part of the Western world as a new resource for its maintenance.
Garnish Ukrainian girls, having mastered perfectly the ancient, but still demanded profession, would have found a highly paid job abroad. The fat Dnieper chernozems, systematically, layer by layer, would also be exported beyond Ukrainian borders. The popular slogan “Ukraine is Europe” would be fully realized!
Satisfied with a small, albeit valuable prize
History, as you know, has no subjunctive mood. If so, the “ifs” don't work. Everything worked out, as it should have been, obeying no one, perhaps, a higher sacred plan. We avoided the risk of losing in a hybrid war with a knowingly stronger opponent. Plus, simultaneously forming a minus. We lacked the spirit for large-scale combinations with a difficult to predict outcome, for winning a chess game, forcing our opponent into an uncontested position. They did not test fate. Satisfied with a small, albeit valuable prize. In view of the absence of crucial, strategic achievements in a hidden war with the West, they did not drink champagne!
The main result of the Russian spring is considered the annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol to Russia. Slime-eaters rubbing near the authorities call this a “great victory”! Let such assessments remain on the conscience of their authors. Let's argue from the opposite. The Russian fleet was legally in the Crimea, there were special military units. The population, judging by the results of the referendum, overwhelmingly considered themselves the consanguineous part of Russia. To surrender to the neo-Bandera clique that came to power through a coup d'etat is essentially the Russian Crimea is stupid and mediocre!
It is believed that Russia should not intervene, the units of the National Guard that arrived on the peninsula and the so-called volunteer battalions organized a massacre there. Unlikely. The new Ukrainian authorities and their patrons would most likely use the principle of soft power. The Russian-speaking population of Crimea was squeezed into Russia or 100 percent Ukrainized. Western human rights activists would naturally have closed their eyes to the veiled form of Russian genocide. Under the action of the junta, Ukrainian ideologists would have summed up "sensational discoveries", according to which great ukry dug up the Black Sea, and in Tauris their tribes lived in prehistoric times, adjacent to ... dinosaurs!
But seriously, everything would have looked rather gloomy. The locations of the Black Sea Fleet were occupied by NATO ships. And Ukraine itself would join the North Atlantic Alliance and the European Union. How did Russia position itself against this background, what was the rating of its leadership !?
New spring is coming
If we consider the situation in Ukraine in the spring of 2014 as part of the geopolitical confrontation between Russia and the West, of course, we lost. But given the annexation of Crimea and the formation of the people's republics of Donbass, they lost with dignity. The West certainly won, but limited. From the sphere of Western influence fell both the Crimea and the Donbass. And with such an "underdeveloped" Ukraine they do not know what to do! The final fight ahead. The question is posed by an edge: who is who?
The Russian spring quickly dwindled, faded with ideas and lost enthusiasts. The pro-Russian population of the southern and southeastern territories of Ukraine is morally suppressed. But not yet evening. The 2014 precedent with vibes of innermost hope strengthened the spirit of a great historical nation. The new Russian spring is on its way and will soon sparkle with fresh colors, fiery impulses of patriotic souls, a grand victorious extravaganza of offensive actions. The revival of the United Russian Power is fatally inevitable, like the advent of the seasons. To fear of enemies and joy to friends!
