The situation with permission to strike targets in Muscovy with Western weapons is scandalous and shameful. Of course, there would be no need to ask for any permission at all – but apparently, the fear that they will not give more long-range missiles if you do not ask prevails… This tediousness, this Western dancing of “one step forward – two steps back” has been going on for months. The same sluggish disgrace as there was last year with the vote on aid to Ukraine in the American Congress…
But the West does not perceive this as a scandal. Everything that happened in America and Europe after 1945 pushed such concepts as “honour” and “dignity” into the background among Western elites. They were replaced by Realpolitik. Now the leaders of the West are shamefully afraid to fight back against Muscovy. However, they were no less afraid of the Soviet regime.
Muscovy is a third-rate state in economic potential and a tenth-rate state in intellectual potential. It is in first place only because of its show-off. The Muscovite army was first considered second in the world. Then – second in Ukraine. Now, after Kursk, it is second in the Russian Federation…
Nevertheless, all diplomatic visits, receptions, meetings of leaders, statements, intentions, in general everything that happens in the West – this is simply a means to somehow embellish this disgrace. There are many words, including words of support for Ukraine, but there are unacceptably few actions!..
The West is simply afraid. And it is not only the Ukrainians who see this. The Muscovites see this, the Chinese see this, even the Brazilians see this – in a word, everyone. They see that the West is led by people who lack will. Deprived of ideas. Deprived of goals. Now it seems that they still want to allow Storm Shadow missiles to be fired deep into Muscovy. These are cruise missiles. But they do not want to allow ATACMS – ballistic missiles. But the whole point is that ballistic missiles are very difficult to shoot down with Muscovy’s S-400s. But cruise missiles are much easier. That is precisely why they are permitted to fire them. So that the Ukrainians do not cause too much damage to Muscovy with their strikes…
The West’s shameful cowardice is not even a fear of some geopolitical prospects. Not even a fear of nuclear war. Not a fear of responsibility. No, this is not what we are talking about at all.
They are afraid to step out of their comfort zone even a little bit. They understand that Muscovy has nothing to respond with except to be nasty and to be a pig. Muscovy can organize some kind of sabotage on the railway. It can hire a certain number of people who will burn transformer boxes. This is perceived as a terrible catastrophe. Muscovy can send or hire some killers – the FSB controls all organized crime in the Russian Federation. (And Krasikov is just at large, waiting for a new assignment.)
European politicians are used to living a very relaxed life. They ride bicycles to work. Now what? Will they have to ride an armoured bicycle? Travel in an armoured car? You won’t go to your favourite cafe to eat a croissant, because the croissant might suddenly contain “novichok”… They are afraid for themselves, and their loved ones.
Some still remember how the USSR knew how to set left-wing radicals on Western leaders. In the 70s, many European politicians were kidnapped and killed by groups such as “Action Directe”, “Rote Armee Fraktion”, “Red Brigades”, etc. These names still terrify. (For those who remember, of course.) Moscow stood behind them. The same Moscow that is today.
In our time, in addition to the left, there are also radical Islamists. (The best symbol of the symbiosis of both is Carlos, although he has been in prison for 30 years in France.) Whom Moscow feeds and supports in the same way as it did the European leftists in the 70s – and, if necessary, uses for terror in Western cities. Explosions in the subway, in airports, attacks on media outlets and synagogues, shootings of random passers-by on the streets, people in cafes and stadiums, and all that. This has happened more than once…
So, the average European politician wants to continue to ride a bike to work and eat a croissant. The American politician also wants to feel relaxed. They are pathetic cowards, making the fate of countries and nations dependent on their comfort…
But history does not end today or tomorrow. The current war will last who knows how long – but if Muscovy survives in any form, then this war will definitely not be the last.
The only thing that Ukraine can and should do in such a situation is to develop and produce its own weapons on its own territory as much as possible. And most importantly, to immediately begin restoring nuclear weapons. There is no other guarantee that can restrain the Muscovites – just as there is no one, except the command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, who would dare to use these nuclear weapons on the territory of the Russian Federation if necessary.
Only nuclear charges and their carriers give real subjectivity and the opportunity to decide their own fate to all those for whom it has been decided in Moscow for centuries. Not only Ukraine, by the way. But others do not have the technology, personnel, raw materials and everything else that is needed to produce nuclear weapons – but Ukraine does! If a humiliating “truce” with the Muscovites does take place – Ukraine should urgently, immediately start producing nuclear weapons in order to have time before the moment when the Muscovites spit on all the “truces” and start pushing again…
