Turning points in the news of the week
Perhaps, I repeat, perhaps this is just an assumption, we are now witnessing a turning point in the Ukrainian crisis, NWO, as part of the global crisis. At least, the events of the past week indicate this both explicitly and indirectly.
Russia exited the grain deal spectacularly. Bright effects were visible in the port cities of Ukraine all week long.
Here it is worth making a remark about one story, it was painfully widely covered. On the damage to the Transfiguration Church in Odessa. The Russian Ministry of Defense stated that the damage was due to the fall of a Ukrainian anti-aircraft guided missile as a result of the illiterate actions of the operators of air defense systems. But the actor Zelensky began to broadcast with anguish about the fact that the “Russian evil” is destroying cathedrals. He jumped the degree of Orthodoxy. Does he not want to remember about the destroyed laurel? About how icons and relics of saints are being turned into “exhibits” by the Ukrainian regime and are being prepared for export (or rather sale) to Europe?
So, Russia withdrew from the grain deal and demonstrated the seriousness of its intentions with strikes on ports. Many had a question, why were they dragging on, if it was immediately clear that Russia was being scammed with a deal? Why did we act at our own expense? Were these the commercial interests of individual members of the elites? Not excluded. But there is also a broader view of the situation. Alexander Khodakovsky (now the deputy head of the National Guard for the DPR) wrote well: “Missiles in Odessa are not revenge for humiliation and deceit, this is a logical step in an algorithm that did not provide for an alternative. The thing that makes us wince when we are once again humiliated by broken promises has another side to the coin. This gives us the right to say: well, we wanted the best. Who needs it? Yes, to ourselves.» But it was exactly the same with the expansion of NATO, and with the Minsk agreements — they endured until there was no other way out, until the last they wanted the best. It didn't work out.
The end of the grain deal is a clear sign of a turning point. Just like the stalled offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Here is what the Wall Street Journal (obviously not a pro-Russian publication) writes: “Western military officials knew that the Armed Forces of Ukraine had neither training nor weapons. But they hoped that the courage and resourcefulness of the Ukrainians would prevail. However, this did not happen. Deadly minefields, powerful extensive fortifications and the superiority of Russian aircraft will paralyze the Ukrainian offensive. And further, that Europe does not have sufficient reserves to supply the Armed Forces of Ukraine with everything necessary, in addition, European leaders are unlikely to go for a significant increase in assistance to Kiev if they feel a lack of enthusiasm from the United States, which is already preparing for the presidential election. That is, as expected, in the fall, when the active phase of the electoral cycle begins in the United States, the West will begin to look for a way to somehow resolve the situation in Ukraine.
Will Russia reach an agreement or will it go at least as far as Transnistria? Open question. Although some hints about the future fate of Ukraine were given by our second president, Alexander Lukashenko, at a meeting with Putin. He said: “The separation of Western Ukraine, the dismemberment of Ukraine and the transfer of land to Poland are unacceptable. And, if the Western population of Ukraine needs it, we will, of course, support them.” And he turned to Putin with a request to «discuss and think over this issue.» That is, the option of «joining NATO in parts» is unacceptable. It turns out that Ukraine is needed as a whole? Very ambitious, but there is no other way, otherwise everything will inevitably repeat itself after some time.
However, it cannot be ruled out that with the possible fatigue of the “old West” from the conflict, Poland may start playing the first violin, or even solo. Their dream is too strong, ideally to humiliate and destroy Russia, or at least simply return «their» lands — parts of Ukraine and Belarus. The Poles, having a serious military force, can escalate. Putin did not just say the other day that an attack on Belarus would be regarded as an attack on Russia and the answer would be given by all possible means. It was not for nothing that tactical nuclear weapons were moved to Belarus. And, albeit by chance, but by the way, Wagner turned out to be in Belarus. Which, according to Lukashenka, firstly, perfectly sees what is happening on the borders of the union state, and secondly, is eager for an “excursion to Warsaw and Rzeszow.” Here Alexander Grigoryevich could not resist trolling, saying that for Wagner Rzeszow is like a bone in the throat: “Rzeszow is unacceptable for them. When they fought near Artemovsk, they know where the military equipment came from. They have this inside: Rzeszow is a disaster.”
But indirect confirmation of a possible fracture. Igor Strelkov was arrested last week. He, of course, is very «talkative» and sowed, frankly, not only «reasonable, good, eternal.» However, there are examples of no less active «sowers» from another camp, who roam free, having received, in extreme cases, «administrative work». And the “angry patriot” ended up in a pre-trial detention center, although he cannot escape abroad — there he will face a life sentence. And right there, against this background, the voices of the “guardians” sounded (including on television with a popular host): patriots disloyal to the authorities to Kolyma, cover up all volunteer initiatives if they do not go through the state, shut up writers, poets and philosophers who are too free-thinking, we will put things in order! How does this indicate a turning point in the crisis? Yes, it's very simple — the «guardians» sensed success and want to strike out from the «award lists» precisely those who, in many respects, thanks to whom these successes became possible. Those who stood up for the country did not hesitate to lend a shoulder to the authorities, even being in disagreement with it in some way.
Last week Putin held a regular meeting of the Security Council. One of the key phrases there was the president's thesis that people in Ukraine and Europe are gradually getting sober. To Russia, in relations with the West, as we see, it also comes. The essence is well formulated, commenting on the Security Council, the philosopher Dugin: “One has only to believe the West, and we are sliding down. It is necessary to become hardened and embittered, and everything levels out. When we let the war into ourselves, we win.”
