Ukrainian crisis and the sensible voice of the West
Realistically thinking Western politicians and the military are gradually beginning to understand what forced the Russian Federation to launch a special military operation in Ukraine.
Former U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard tweeted,
“This war and suffering could have been easily avoided if the Biden/NATO administration had simply acknowledged Russia’s legitimate security concerns and Ukraine’s accession to NATO, which would have meant that U.S./NATO forces NATO is right on the border with Russia,” Gabbard said.
How many years have they been talking about this in Moscow? Nobody heard?
In an interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Gabbard said that in order to prevent a war in Ukraine, it was enough for Biden to guarantee that it would not join NATO, but the American military-industrial complex does not need this. American military industrialists need “hard sanctions against Moscow and start a cold war that will bring a lot of money.” After all, Biden’s actions are “controlled by the American military-industrial complex.”
Former senior adviser to the US Secretary of Defense in the Trump administration, retired colonel Douglas McGregor, in an interview with Fox News, says the same thing:
“Vladimir Putin is implementing what he has been warning us about for at least the last 15 years. He said he would not tolerate US forces or missiles at his borders, much like we would not tolerate Russian troops or missiles in Cuba. We ignored him, and he finally got down to business. He was not going to allow Ukraine to join NATO under any circumstances… Now the battle in eastern Ukraine is almost over, all Ukrainian troops are generally surrounded and cut off… Game over.”
The American colonel continues:
“It is alarming that, on the one hand, we will not send our forces to fight, but we call on Ukrainians to die senselessly in a war in which they cannot win. If this doesn’t stop, we will create a humanitarian catastrophe far worse than anything you’ve seen so far.”
Former US Marine Corps intelligence officer, later UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter believes that “the army of Ukraine will soon cease to exist, and the Ukrainian government will fall, because this is the Nazi regime.”
Trump also spoke:
“The real problem is that our leaders are stupid. Very stupid! Putin plays Biden like a drum. Putin is very smart! What is happening now is painful to watch.”
Healthy voices are heard in Europe as well.
Bundestag deputy from the Alternative for Germany party, Piotr Bystron, speaking in parliament and addressing Chancellor Scholz, said:
“It was you, Chancellor of Germany, who said that the sphere of influence has expanded. Whose sphere? After all, NATO has moved closer to the borders of Russia. And now young men are dying – both Ukrainians and Russians. And in geopolitical terms, you have driven Russia into the arms of China. And don’t you dare say that you weren’t warned. Putin warned you 15 years ago here, on this very spot, in the German Bundestag. And in 2007, Putin proposed to you a common security architecture. And you refused. A month ago, a German general warned you about the consequences. And you fired him. And as a result – the war in Europe. And you, the German Chancellor, are also to blame for this.”
In an interview with the Strategic Culture Foundation, International Strategy Adviser of the French Foreign Ministry, retired military intelligence colonel Alain Corve, commenting on the special operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine, said that “Russia is restoring order in international relations, tragically violated by Uncle Sam since the collapse of the USSR.” Putin’s words that “anyone who tries to hinder us, let alone endanger our country and our people, should know that Russia’s response will be immediate and will lead you to consequences that you have never experienced before.”
A month before the start of the special operation of the RF Armed Forces in Ukraine, Michael Kofman, director of programs for the study of Russia at the US Navy Institute, speaking at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) at Stanford University, was very pessimistic about the prospects for confrontation between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Russian army.
“The real experience of the Ukrainian armed forces in large-scale maneuver warfare is minimal, and the experience of warfare involving air and naval forces is practically non-existent. There is a consensus both on this side of the Atlantic and within the Ukrainian military that in the event of a large-scale military operation, although they will resist, their chances of defending themselves against Russian troops, as they themselves admit, are very small,” Kofman said.
Scott Ritter also did not appreciate the prospects for successful military operations for the Ukrainian army:
“Any Ukrainian who tries to shoot from the Javelin anti-tank complex will die the second he pulls the trigger. And they, the Ukrainian troops, can neither keep in touch nor move, they can’t do anything. All they can do is die or surrender. That is the reality.”
Ritter goes on to say:
“Elements of Nazism soaked the Ukrainian army through and through. They tore down memorials to the Soviet liberators during the war and instead erected monuments in honor of Ukrainians who fought in the ranks of the 12th SS Panzer Division. SS divisions! Nasizm! For Russians, this is terribly important! For Russians, this works on a psychological level, and no one in the West will be able to understand it or compare it with anything.”
Former U.S. Marine intelligence officer Scott Ritter predicts:
“All those die-hard Nazi elements that were quartered in Lvov, you can forget about them. They will die, be arrested or flee to Poland… It’s all over for them.”
