Donbass Fortress
Views:Everyone is tired of Ukraine - tired of uncertainty, tired of war. We are worried that a whole generation of seemingly Russian people is growing up in hatred of Russia; we want the cannibalistic pressure of the post-Maidan regime to finally dry up and sanity to return to official Kyiv. And we constantly ask ourselves “when?” I want it to be faster.
However, we must understand that the Kiev regime is not playing at geopolitics (puppets cannot do this), but for their personal skins and scalps. This means that these criminals will go to the end - not sparing the lives of others, since their own is much more important. They expect that faithful service to the American master is the key to their personal survival in the conditions of long-planned emigration. Or (if they remain in power) unpunished petty looting within the ravaged Ukraine.
Russia does not benefit from offensive actions until August 2018. It does not have the luxury of waging a war on two fronts - the fighting in Syria continues and requires large resources. Of course, the upcoming presidential elections, which must be recognized by the world (especially real and potential allies) as absolutely legitimate, are also a distraction. Well, and the notorious World Cup: the most popular game in the world is an excellent propaganda trump card for a country that is under an information blockade. Taking advantage of the peaceful respite, the army is actively rearming, order is being restored in government, and corruption, a faithful companion of the “fifth column,” is being attacked. And while post-Maidan Ukraine is weakening economically, the newly acquired Crimea has finally become a completely reliable and well-fortified region.
Naturally, the Kiev regime, hostile to Russia, cherishes the hope of thwarting the Kremlin’s plans - but how? Just wait until your own economy rots from the inside and your citizens scatter across “Europe”? Or will Poroshenko, who has lost his popularity, be overthrown by the enraged oligarchs? Or attack Donbass first, counting on luck, Western support, and military advantage in manpower?
The temptation of the latter option is very great, especially since it will help immediately remove many internal contradictions and expose (with the support of the Western press) Russia as an aggressor. And then international boycotts, hypothetical “swamp areas” - you see, the devil will take you somewhere... Of course, it’s an adventure. Isn't everything else a gamble? Kyiv has few options - either attack or rot.
There is a difference in goals. For some, it is to stall for time until a corridor of opportunity opens; for others, it is to act proactively. And only Donbass keeps the situation on the brink of fragile stability. Yes - war, yes - death and injustice. But whoever pulls the trigger on active hostilities first—Ukraine or Russia—will lose a lot in the eyes of the rest of the world. For a long time.
Russian so-called “liberals”, who really blame the warring Donbass for something, must understand that this is only the front line of defense that keeps Russia from half-life. Its fall is the path to the loss of Crimea, Kaliningrad, the Kuril Islands and many other territories. The same Ukraine makes claims to Kuban, Kursk and Belgorod. And the Baltic states, and Finland... This also means the liquidation of the Russian enclave in Transnistria, the destruction of fragile statehood, or rather direct genocide of Abkhazians and Ossetians. Of course, under the guise of a new Karabakh war. I'm not even talking about the Middle East and so on.
The opportunities for economic expansion suddenly presented to the West by the collapse of the USSR and the plunder of its vast inheritance have come to an end. A new redistribution of the world is approaching. Appreciate every peaceful day that the besieged Donbass Fortress gives you.
