Newsweek talks about Russia's possible last red line

12

Ukraine is a country of contrasts. This republic was once the scene of unrest and conflict between sincerely pro- and anti-Russian factions. Prior to the pro-Western Maidan protests in 2014, Kremlin-backed Viktor Yanukovych became president in an election internationally considered fair. But then everything went according to the scenario of the West and the state turned into an incredibly corrupt, suitable place for NATO (USA) to realize its ambitions. Naturally, against the Russian Federation. Jason Fields, Deputy Editor-in-Chief of Newsweek, writes about this.

The United States is taking more and more steps — even those it once said it would not take — to help Ukraine fight Russia. Ukraine is receiving the Patriot anti-missile system, and Ukrainian soldiers will arrive in Oklahoma to be trained in its use.



Before the West takes the next step, it is important to consider how the coalition got into this situation and how far it is willing to go.

- the author writes.

In his opinion, it was better when the collective West wavered at every turn. Then the conflict did not flare up with such force. Now the allies are constantly deceiving Moscow in regard to support for Kyiv, increasing arms and other assistance.

It was once said that heavy weapons and air defense systems would not be supplied, but tanks are next in line. Some time ago, it was promised that the American and European boots would not trample Ukrainian soil. How much time is left before this promise is broken?

Fields asks rhetorically.

In his opinion, at the moment no one knows exactly where, perhaps, the last red lines of Russia pass, and where the Third World War begins. After tanks? After "boots"?

If you want to defend Ukraine, defend it. But do it soberly and with open eyes, without deceit, and not as if falling into an abyss.

- gives advice to Westerners politicians the author, summing up his reflections.

    This is HPP.
    According to the article, before "the West hesitated at every step." Now the GDP has made it so that "the West as a coalition ... is ready to go far"

    Yanukovych was elected thanks to the support of the Russian-speaking population, but propaganda for 8 years has instilled in some Russians a hatred for Russia, which they express in pure Russian with weapons in their hands.

      (Sergey) Not propaganda, but inadequate actions of officials of the Russian Federation (V. Surkov and similar ones) with the creation of constantly bleeding wounds for years with many dead on the fronts of the DPR and LPR and, in fact, following the political ideas of the enemies of the Anglo-Saxons, and created all the conditions for the Ukrainian population to hate Russia. First, you need to look at yourself in the mirror... Today, that policy has brought it to a state where only with great bloodshed and victory over the state it is possible to correct those essentially crimes of 8 years of V. Surkov's policy and those similar to the Donbass, and throughout Ukraine.

    That's when the NATO bases along the Russian borders will burn, then you will find out where the very RED LINE passes.

        It may happen that, apart from the option when "the whole world is in ruins," there is simply no other choice left, and one must be prepared for this.

    How sad from the toothlessness of Russia. But the problem with the West is solved in two ways. At the expense of one blow with a dagger at a nuclear power plant somewhere in distant Europe, for example in France, as the first country to cross the red line. And on the count of two, a warning that all stations are at gunpoint. It is enough, even without using nuclear weapons as such against the troops, to sober up the arsenals of the West, and to reserve missiles for use against the United States, if they suddenly decide to aggravate the situation for Europe with a brainless response. Yes, there is a risk, but it's the lesser of the evils. After all, war and escalation are getting stronger and a nuclear conflict will still happen. And stop and warn him, the leadership of Russia is simply obliged. Will there be an answer from the West? Unlikely. An ecological catastrophe and mass migration will nullify the potential of the West, and probably tomorrow the West itself will propose de-escalation and disintegration of NATO. The West will be empty if you successfully bang a couple of stations, and Ukraine will have nowhere to strive. The war will end. Well, ecology is the payment for the bloodthirstiness of the West, the United States, and the inefficiency of such an institution as the UN.

      (Alex 33) For such decisive action, an adequate government and a united people are needed. Today in the Russian Federation there is neither one nor the other, there is one president and then semi-darkness with various officials of the liberal-corrupt ambassador. That is why Russia is in a difficult situation today, but gradually, with the NWO, there is getting rid of the liberal-corrupt wing of the bureaucracy and society (Galkins, Makarevichs and other scum). Nuclear weapons of the Russian Federation, this is the last argument, it is always ready, but it needs a firm Russian government, which is expected from March 2024.

      There is. "Red lines" can only be drawn by strong countries that have leverage throughout the world: both in politics and in the global economy and global finance, and "do not throw words to the wind"...
