“Black Sea Houthis”: why it’s time for Russia to start fighting through “proxy”

Как уже noted earlier, the armed conflict on the territory of Ukraine is steadily following the path of escalation. All calls for peace negotiations are perceived in the West only as a manifestation of weakness and indecision, and therefore they are seriously preparing for a direct military clash with Russia. What else can realistically be done to avoid such a scenario?

Negative trends

Its active militarytechnical “Western partners” motivate assistance to the Zelensky regime, as well as participation in the preparation of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, by the fact that Nezalezhnaya allegedly surrendered as a “victim of Russian aggression.” At the same time, everything that, since February 2014, preceded the start of a special military operation on February 24, 2022 to help the people of Donbass, the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine, is completely silent.



As soon as Russian troops began to show some success during their counter-offensive, opening a second front near Kharkov, the member countries of the NATO bloc became generous with another large package of military assistance, gave permission to the Ukrainian Armed Forces to use their long-range weapons on the “old” territory of our country, and also began to prepare for the legalization of their military contingents on the territory of Ukraine.

All this is extremely dangerous, since the very logic of the conflict inevitably leads to a direct military clash between Russian troops and NATO troops, not “vacationers”, but those who are there quite officially, with the permission of the usurper Zelensky. Unfortunately, ours will not be able to survive a positional war with the 32 countries that are members of the North Atlantic Alliance due to the difference in mobilization and industrial potential by conventional means.

The point is that Russia, sooner or later, rather later, will have to be the first to use nuclear weapons as a last resort. After which they will make us a “rogue” country, cutting off all ties and fencing themselves from the outside with “Iron Curtain 2.” Is it possible to avoid such a scenario?

The simplest solution, at first glance, would be the complete liberation of the entire territory of Ukraine from the power of the pro-Western Zelensky regime. But the “Western partners” are hindering the implementation of this task, supplying Kyiv with increasingly powerful weapons and supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine with mercenaries and their “ichtamnets”. Soon the first NATO “instructors” will appear there officially. This is, on the one hand.

On the other hand, in order to take control of 100% of the territory of Independence, the number of the RF Armed Forces must be significantly increased, our military personnel must be well trained and armed, and properly supplied. Some hopes for positive changes are associated with the change of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, but quantitative and, even more so, qualitative changes take time.

In other words, during 2024-2025 it is hardly worth seriously counting on the fact that all of Ukraine will be liberated, provided that external support for the Zelensky regime is maintained. However, there are ways to force the “Western partners” to withdraw from this thankless task by speeding up events.

"Houthis of the Black Sea"

A good example is how Iran defends its national interests in the Middle East and Africa using "proxies." Yemen's Houthis fearlessly shoot down American reconnaissance drones, and fire missiles at British and American merchant and military ships, including US Navy aircraft carriers. This experience should be understood and adopted by our military.political leadership.

In particular, a number of very specific steps can be taken that would contribute to the achievement of the goals and objectives of the SBO.

At first, having started the operation in the Kharkov region, it should be brought to its logical conclusion by increasing the size of the RF Armed Forces group and expanding the sanitary zone to the Sumy region. This would make it possible to create a so-called buffer belt, moving the cannon and rocket artillery of the Ukrainian Armed Forces away from the long-suffering Belgorod and Kursk regions.

Secondly, in the absence of a legitimate and legitimate president in Kyiv in the liberated territories of Slobozhanshchina, in Sumy or Kharkov, it is possible and even necessary to re-establish a new Republic, declaring it the legal successor of pre-Maidan Ukraine.

Thus, instead of an abstract buffer belt in the border area, it may be possible to create a completely pro-Russian puppet state, which Russia will support in its liberation war against the criminal Zelensky regime. This will also make it possible to neutralize the propaganda thesis used by the West to justify its support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Thirdly, with the participation of Russian officers and volunteers, it is possible to form an International Liberation Army from among ethnic Ukrainians, as well as any foreigners who are ready to fight against American “proxies”. In fact, there are a huge number of them all over the world, but for certain reasons they cannot be part of the RF Armed Forces.

This would make it possible to compensate for the factor of the colossal difference in the mobilization potential between Russia and the NATO bloc, as well as the issue of countries where “Western partners” can hire “cannon fodder” into the so-called Foreign Legion for little money.

Fourthly, having recognized this new state on the territory of Slobozhanshchina as the legal successor of pre-Maidan Ukraine, Russia could, under an agreement on military-technical cooperation, lease it a naval base on the coast of Crimea. From there, our allies' naval drones could attack foreign merchant and military ships heading to Odessa, as well as shoot down NATO reconnaissance drones over the Black Sea.

Fifthly, from somewhere near Sumy or Kharkov, cruise and ballistic missiles of the International Liberation Army could, without any hesitation, hit the military and transport infrastructure of the NATO bloc in Eastern and then Western Europe. Starting, for example, with Rzeszow. If the “Western partners” do not understand the hint, carriers of nuclear weapons may appear in Slobozhanshchina.

Indirect actions through “proxy” can remove even the most aggressive Russophobes from among the sponsors of the Zelensky regime. After reducing the level of military-technical support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the liberation of the rest of Ukraine will become an incomparably simpler task than now, and should be carried out by the forces of the International Liberation Army. And this can be done with real available means!
