Korotchenko called the consequences of the partition of Ukraine along the Dnieper for Russia

March 26 2021 53

If Russian troops enter eastern Ukraine and the country is divided along the Dnieper, the consequences for Russia, as well as for relations between Moscow and Washington, could be the most catastrophic. This opinion was expressed by the editor-in-chief of the National Defense magazine Igor Korotchenko on the air of the Ukraine.ru YouTube channel.

Russia will be able to solve the LPNR problem to some extent, as well as reach the borders of Transnistria, but otherwise a large-scale war in Europe does not bode well and means a sharp aggravation of relations with Western countries.

The SWIFT system will be disabled, Russian assets in the West will be blocked, there will be a variant of a full-scale cold war

- the expert noted, adding that the situation may develop according to the scenario of the Caribbean crisis of the early 60s of the last century.

Korotchenko believes that the Russian Federation should be ready for such a development of the situation, and it is necessary to calculate the possible steps of the opposing side, initiate the creation of new alliances and solve the resulting economic Problems.

The analyst also believes that the likelihood of an offensive by units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on militia units is very possible, while deterioration of relations between Russia and the United States plays a large negative role.

This is all, of course, terrible. But why doesn't Korotchenko calculate the options for Europe? All of the above means a full-scale economic war. So, deliveries to Europe have been completely stopped. All European assets in Russia are blocked. The supplies of aluminum, titanium, oil, gas, timber and a host of other items have been stopped. Gas transit has been stopped and the maintenance of half of Ukraine falls entirely on the shoulders of the EU. The transit from China has been terminated.
Of course, there is nothing good about it. But who will be worse is still unknown.

  The first thing that was almost completely destroyed during the collapse of the USSR was the fleet. Because the fleet controls trade routes, which makes it possible to realize: "ah, don't buy from us, then don't buy from anyone." How many tankers are not allowed to Venezuela? Therefore, the Anglo-Saxons are outraged by any trade routes not under their control.
  We need to rebuild the fleet and then fewer people will support sanctions. Or stop being ashamed of destroying someone else's non-friendly infrastructure on land. Sanctions are war. The West considers us an aggressor and does not want to be friends, I think when we become, then it will want ...

        The NSR is not currently controlled by the Anglo-Saxons, although they are present.
        The missiles were delivered to Cuba without demand, i.e. the Anglo-Saxons were present, but not in control under their noses.
        Chersky was accompanied by Russian warships, probably to neutralize control. Although I do not argue, on the canals and straits of the Anglo-Saxons without massacre, you can't move ...

        The NSR is not yet a run-in path. One-time operations do not solve anything.
        The sea power of a state consists of the following components: a strong merchant fleet, a strong military fleet, a deployed base across the world, and port infrastructure.
        According to the Gorshkov doctrine, the USSR deployed OPESK in certain regions. The most famous is 5 OPESK. But it was very far from the control over sea traffic. The task of OPESK was to control the US aircraft carrier groups within the framework of the "fleet against fleet" concept. But not control over sea trade routes. For example. How the British controlled the way to India (the pearl of the British crown). Of course a strong fleet. But also .... Gibraltar-Malta-Alexandria-Suez-Aden. It was worth neutralizing Malta for a while and the path was covered with a copper basin. Regardless of the number of ships and the strength of the British Navy.
        It is generally accepted that the Soviet Navy during the Gorshkov era was incredibly strong. Yes, there were many ships. But the number of ships does not make the fleet. As the saying goes, "three thousand ships and a million sailors, this is not a fleet."

        Well, as not run-in, it is already being used, intensively or not, another question.
        This isn't the fleet? Yes, even one submarine is a fleet capable of putting all NATO on its ears. The power of the state is made up of the readiness to use force. But how to apply it when there is a strong state in the world that, with the help of Hollywood, made itself excessively strong, endowing itself with police powers, that is, they are ready to use and use force according to all their doctrines, and we were not so much scared as deceived. And when we were forced to demonstrate our readiness to use force, after that we immediately became aggressors and are now trying with all our might to turn everything back, to isolate, because this demonstrated the whole zil of excessiveness. And they like to steer.
        The Americans told the enslaved Japanese not to sell composites to us, and they stopped, but would they stop if they knew that after that they would not be able to trade with anyone, because their goods would be drowned? Of course, this is an old, uncivilized method, but effective as long as there is a hegemon. Why don't we use it, probably because we want to live, we equip ourselves, we accumulate strength, we rebuild the fleet, import substitution, i.e. we self-develop, and maybe that itself will change with the decrepitude of the hegemon, for example, there will be a payment system of its own, or more than 50 new states, but sooner or later we will still be, because otherwise our interests are not interesting to others ...

        The question was posed initially: did the USSR Fleet control sea trade routes? The answer is negative. The Gorshkov doctrine implied a strong nuclear submarine fleet (as part of the strategic triad) and surface ships equipped with missile weapons (according to the principle "we have no aircraft carriers and you will not have"). Hence the creation of OPESK. Neither one nor the other implies control over shipping.
        You gave the example of Chersky. This just speaks of a lack of control. If for escorting 1 civilian vessel it was necessary to equip a convoy, to hide from observation, then how many transports will Russia be able to conduct, say, in 5-6 ports? The same goes for Cuba. A one-time operation carried out at the limit of strength and capabilities indicates a lack of control.
        One more example. England was able to conduct a landing operation thousands of miles from the metropolis (Falklands). Could such an operation be carried out by the Soviet Navy? And they carried it out because they had strong logistical support. The same supply ships that helped the Americans in the Pacific during the war. In the absence of such, the Japanese created the Tokyo Express and lost the Battle of Guadalcanal.
        Another comparison from modern times. China has three aircraft carriers and is building at the same time 7 or 11. It has the second largest fleet. But the task for the Chinese Navy is very minimal. Ensure freedom of navigation in the near zone. Ideally, from Sakhalin to the Strait of Malacca. China plans to enter the World Ocean only by 2050. Of course, they are Stakhanovites and can complete the task earlier, but even the presence of aircraft carriers does not allow them to control the world's transport arteries. We need bases and China is actively involved in this.
        Yes, in theory it would be nice to have a strong fleet. But all at once does not work out. The West could afford a specification for the types of aircraft. The USSR had to develop all directions at the same time.
        Main sources of my findings
        Gorshkov "Sea Power of the State"
        Roskilde "Flag of St. George"
        And works on geopolitics from Mackinder and Haushofer to the present day.

        The Navy has always exercised and will continue to exercise control over the activities of the Navy of foreign states, the protection of its own and allied ships, and the display of the flag in any operationally important areas of the oceans.
        Therefore, the answer is yes, this is one of his main tasks.

  In the United States itself, they have not seen war for more than 150 years, but all over the world they were able to organize bloody massacres in almost fifty countries, including the atomic bombings of Japan, so they relaxed a little, living in the world of American democracy, which they created only for themselves. and for other countries it is completely different - on bayonets and Tomahawks, but in the last war alone we lost more than 27 million people, after which we lived both in hunger and in the cold, gradually rebuilding our country from beams and dugouts to the first "Khrushchev" , etc., so that we no longer get used to living in times of hard times, and I am quite in favor of reviving the complete "iron curtain" again, and thereby preserving our country until it was pulled apart in pieces, as they did with our USSR. And the LDNR is high time to recognize within its pre-war borders, and to force Ukraine to peace, declaring it in genocide and the destruction of the people of Donbass, and Shoigu has long been ready for this, and the Americans will not even have time to sneeze, as the entire southeast will be under our control, and maybe even Kiev ... And I say again that there is no such idiot in the world, not even Biden, who will go to confrontation with nuclear Russia because of some kind of Ukraine, and as soon as we cross their border , there most of the "horses" will instantly change their shoes, and they will shout-Putin is our president ..... Enough, enough to curry favor with America, now the question is about the life or death of our state, so now we have no time for European curtsies, but with a boot on the podium with "Kuzka's mother".

  Russia's participation in the war in Ukraine is very important for the United States-Britain. To weaken
  and the subordination of Germany-EU. World War II in Europe - was needed
  for this. The US-Britain NEEDS any war in Europe with the participation of Russia.
  A simultaneous blow to the Russian economy and the complete dependence of Germany-EU.
  Unfortunately, this is all simple and win-win for them.

    For the United States, throw a wedge everywhere. Old Europe sees its future in Eurasia, here they have great prospects, and the United States has already won back opportunities and no prospects for the future, while the new Europe, in the form of Poland and Romania, naturally does not count. Therefore, continental Europe will not fight for the interests of the Anglo-Saxons.
    In addition, the United States faces a war with China over Taiwan, which, in principle, they cannot win. The damage to the reputation will be monstrous. The current economic, scientific, technical and military potential of the United States does not allow hoping for superiority, especially in the next 10 years, especially given the internal instability in the United States itself, after which China will no longer be in the reach of the United States in the military field. They will not be able to use nuclear weapons against China now, Russia will not allow. As a result, at least South Korea will soon come out from under the wing of the Americans, it is more profitable and safer for them to cooperate with China and Russia, in addition, Korea will then be able to unite, which is now being hindered by the United States. The war poses a great danger to Britain, since its entire territory is accessible to our supersonic missiles (even non-nuclear missiles will suffice) which it cannot intercept and which in the blink of an eye will multiply its military potential by zero. The only nuclear-powered submarines can avoid instant zeroing, but they are unlikely to dare to shoot at Russia with atomic charges, but their tomogavki, we are not afraid, as Syria showed.

It will be necessary to resolve the issue with Ukraine sooner or later. If Korotchenko believes that Ukraine will become a non-aligned, neutral and friendly country towards Russia, then he is simply a fool. Therefore, the division and destruction of Bandera's Ukraine is vital for Russia! The only question is when to carry out this procedure - if later it will be much worse for Russia. And the question of Swift, sanctions and other things is nonsense. The West can impose sanctions against Russia for any reason - it will not need some reason like the partition of Ukraine. And no one in the West will lose the huge Russian market and energy supplier at a loss for a long time. Even with the Iron Curtain under the USSR, trade with the West did not stop - and it will not be here either. Of course they will ponder for a while, and then everything will return to normal
