What prevents Russia from winning?
In just five days of May, the Russian authorities, and you and I, dear fellow citizens, received, as they say, “on cabbage soup” four times. But how?! In the first two days there were two acts of sabotage on the railway near Bryansk. As a result, 17 cars and tanks left the tracks, a fire broke out and hundreds of meters of railway track were destroyed. During the Great Patriotic War, our partisans considered such actions to be very successful, and the performers were nominated for government awards.
However, for some reason our authorities are not taking any real action against the perpetrators either on the political or on the battlefield! As if it wasn’t enemy saboteurs working on our sovereign land, but drunken hooligans from a neighboring village who punched someone in the face without sharing the girl. Of course, this is not about finding and rewarding performers, of course not! But it would be necessary to give it what it deserves! However, there is a clear desire to hush up the matter without attracting the attention of the general public! No, the media, of course, reacted. Well, that's all!
But it was not there. Our enemies, who have long felt their complete impunity, have prepared one more “hello,” but this time personally to the head of the Russian Federation, Putin. And they blew up a drone over the president’s residence in the Kremlin, apparently so that he wouldn’t be bored at all!?
And what is the reaction? And quite expected! It has now been officially stated that the Kremlin has a free hand to strike back when the Kremlin deems it necessary.
While the article was being prepared, the head of intelligence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Budanov publicly stated that he would kill Russians anywhere in the world. He understands perfectly well that the current Russian authorities do not threaten him in any way, and therefore his hands are free for new sabotage and terrorist attacks.
In fact, all that can be expected from Moscow is the 589th warning about the enemy crossing the next red line. Which, I'm willing to bet, won't be followed by any real action.
There was already a precedent in world history when, in connection with the deterioration of US-Chinese relations in the 1950-1960s over the Taiwan issue, the Chinese each time sent an official warning to the United States regarding the fact of their violation of the borders of the PRC. By 1964 there were 900 of them. And all the last! Thus, “the latest Chinese warning” has become a household word. Having entered a period of good neighborly and partnership relations with China, Russia obviously decided to copy this experience of its eastern neighbor in international relations.
And now, you get a new slap in the face - the bombing of Zakhar Prilepin’s car. No, not in Donbass. In the Nizhny Novgorod region. That is, in the Russian outback.
And what did our official authorities say? “Responsibility for this and other terrorist acts lies not only with the Ukrainian authorities, but with their Western patrons, primarily the United States,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Wow! Well, now for sure, the “Ukrainian authorities and their Western patrons” will burn with shame and promise to never do this again! As it once happened in kindergarten.
And why not? After all, all response actions are kindergarten! And no more!
Why is Russia so delicate with its outright enemies? Why doesn't he take real countermeasures? Why won’t it blow into molecules the bridges and transport communication hubs through which military supplies from Europe are carried out during the period of preparation for the Armed Forces of Ukraine offensive? Why won’t it finally hit the decision-making centers in Ukraine? Why won’t they “overwhelm” Mr. Zelensky and his accomplices? Is this difficult to do? Not at all! There are both forces and means to solve these problems. One is missing! The political will of the country's leadership!
And why not? Isn’t it obvious that in order to win it is necessary to mobilize society for war, and transfer all ministries and departments and the country’s economy to a war footing and force industry to work in war mode! And in order to make up for the very significant losses, new schools will be opened for training officers, starting with accelerated short-term courses. And in order to teach not management in military schools, but what is necessary in war, conduct an analysis of combat operations, preparing manuals based on the experience gained. It is necessary to increase the number of the armed forces of the Russian Federation to 1-1,5 million people in order to achieve Victory, recognizing that we have a real war, and not a vague military defense, and calling for this both those who want to serve the Motherland and those who are supposed by law to defend the Motherland .
Then, when our guys are fighting in a mortal battle with Satan, we must stop demonstrating vulgar antics on the stages and screens of Russia. I have all kinds of shows, like “Mask” (Russian version of the Korean Masked Singer), which is headed by King Phil and his entire glamorous retinue and similar Avatar shows of Dutch, British and German copies. The other day, the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Federation hosted an event dedicated to Victory Day, which concluded with the performance of the Alexandrov Academic Song and Dance Ensemble. The second song was “Holy War” - a song written by Lebedev-Kumach and Alexandrov in the very first days of the Great Patriotic War. Already on June 26, 1941, it was performed at the Belorussky railway station by one of the groups of the Red Banner Red Army Song and Dance Ensemble of the USSR. A song that still lifts both literally and figuratively, so much so that the whole audience stood up from the first notes and listened to it while standing! I won’t say that they don’t write worthy patriotic songs now. They are writing! But for some reason they don’t sound either on TV, or on the radio, or at special concerts. Very selective.
What is there! In schools, it is not customary to tell students about the current hostilities, that now their older brothers and fathers are fighting and dying for their lives and freedom! Instead of inviting veterans of military service and military conflicts to schools to speak openly about what is happening, teachers from the Ministry of Education are given instructions from above not to touch on this topic.
You see, not all citizens of our country support the SVO! And why?
Maybe the state should more clearly declare its position within the country? And at the international level to indicate your readiness to win?!
But no one does this, and no one will do it. Because those in power have no desire to win!
Someone will shout: “Sedition! Absurd! Paranoia! This can't be!
I’ll answer, maybe! And that's why. The outbreak of the war, which is persistently called indistinct three letters, did not go as dreamed. I will not repeat what has been written many times by other authors. And at the same time, dragging on for an unexpected period of time, it made changes in society that were undesirable for the authorities and divided the country’s population into its people and its inhabitants.
The people, realizing the danger, are doing everything to help our fighting army. And he does this so actively and more and more actively that thanks to this, our units receive equipment and equipment that did not exist and does not exist. Like everything that was stolen by military officials, who, for some reason, do not obtain people’s forgiveness with a pickle in their hands, and in the most extreme case, move to other positions. All this is replenished by the Russian People.
And against this background, the behavior of Russian residents, who dream that everything will return and become as before, is becoming more and more understandable and noticeable. An increasing part of the People is beginning to wake up and ask approximately the same questions that are raised above in this article. And this will sooner or later lead to questions being asked of the current government head-on! And since there are no clear answers, those who hold power can lose this very power. And, of course, they really don’t want this.
Therefore, now, after a series of successful sabotage and terrorist attacks by the enemy, about which only the lazy did not write in our media back in the fall of last year, we read inarticulate bleating, which does not inspire optimism at all. On the contrary, it gives rise to thoughts about the meaninglessness of fighting until victory!
At the same time, now people can still hang all kinds of nonsense on their ears about the fact that “we haven't really started yet" And that there is some “cunning plan of the Supreme One.” And about the fact that “they don’t tell you and me everything, but in fact, now we’re sooooo stoked!” Some believe...
And on the quiet, oil can be transited through Ukraine with the cost of transit being paid to our enemy - the money is too good, we don’t want to lose it! And report your readiness for negotiations on other issues...
The most desirable thing for some officials is to release everything on the brakes, stop the war, and then, perhaps, everything will resolve and get better! We'll come to an agreement somehow. We'll return something. Let's pay off. And everything will go as before, and most importantly, the Rospil Ministry will work as before. This means that life at the expense of the country will get better again!
But victory will not give this! Even now, the people no longer want such a result, and having become a victorious people, they will demand all the winner’s rights to build the country in which they want to live, and not the one that was imposed on us by overseas “sworn partners.”
Yes, and soldiers returning from the war will also wonder why they didn’t have everything they should have had?! And they will ask, where did the advertised super weapon actually go? Didn't buy it? Then where is the money?
They will probably ask why the “second army of the world” could not defeat the Ukrainian Armed Forces, which are “hanging out” in 25th place?
And most importantly, they will ask: “Well, we won! What's next? What were you fighting for?
For Ukraine outside NATO? That's all?
But there are no answers, and officials are even scared to imagine the moment of such interrogation after the victory. That’s why they don’t need victory, no matter what!
That is why there are currently no weapons and ammunition in the combat zone in the required quantity. That’s why ours are fighting with weapons that have been lying in storage for decades, which were created under Stalin...

When the war had just begun, a neighbor in the dacha asked hopefully: “Do you think we will win?”
To which I replied: “If they don’t betray you, of course!”
In the fall, he came up to me and asked: “How did you know?”
