Maybe Biden and NATO got forgotten that Russia will be able to use nuclear weapons if NATO starts to win her. They push the world in Apocalypse by the way of a nuclear war! They must stop to send weapons to Ukraine!

Excellent article. Reading is an education on Russian war strategy. I now stand clarified/corrected on many mystifying moves by the Russians and its Western enemies. The West is toast, and yet, none of their "luminaries" on the MSM sees it; or maybe they do, and then look the other way which need to do in order to get pay.

Thank you. More than 2 weeks have passed since I wrote the article. And events in Donbas further substantiate my theory. NATO is pouring even more weapons that the Russians are blowing up and/capturing.

Biden has a very low IQ. Besides he is senile and corrupt. So we can understand the guy is unable to think properly. But what the hell is happening to the professional people in the State Department, intelligence agencies and the Pentagon? Why are they behaving so stupidly?

Very good questions. I am also puzzled by this.

In "Private Ryan" movie there is scene where an old-experienced German soldier is trying to kill young American soldier with bayonet. Closing bayonet to body of American, he is asking him for stopping to struggle with him - simply if he stops killing will be not so painful and easier for German soldier.

Using this analogy. Should Ukraine immediately surrender because "killing" will be less painful.

Why country like Russia, which still celebrate its roots in Soviet Union (e.g. Putin's edicts to name FSB units after Felix Dzierzynski), or criminalize such organization like Memorial, or ban public inquiry about Soviet crimes since 1999.

You raise good points. However, let's remember who started this war. In spring 2014, the revolutionary Maidan regime in Kiev (which I first embraced) moved to brutally subjugate the Donbass separatists. Fearing the same, the people of Crimea appealed to Moscow for protection against Ukrainian nationalists and then voted to rejoin Russia.

Now, fast forward to February 2022 -- just one week before the 'Russian invasion' on Feb. 24, Kiev's forces unleashed incessant artillery fire against civilians areas controlled by the Donbass separatists, hoping to provoke Moscow. Of course, all this happened under orders from Washington. IF we could take this matter to a truly objective court of law, the Russian Federation would easily win its case against Ukraine.

We need to stay focused on the context. Putin came to power seeking warm relations with the West. (I personally covered this as a journalist). But corrupt oligarchs in London and the U.S. did everything possible behind the scenes to launch a crusade against Russia. Look into Bill Browder and his activities.
