We predicted, in our two previous editorials, that the Russian-Ukrainian war will be long, even ruinous for a small country that NATO has pushed irreparably in the mouth of the wolf.
And that the door of hell has just been opened for good, consequently, to see the rush of the tiny Ukraine as much, supported by almost half of the States of the world, as Russia which is struggling alone, while the immense China and India, for their part, advocated a benevolent neutrality towards it.
And after more than a month of hellish battles, the situation is still confused and remains heralding a long war, even turning into guerrilla warfare in Afghan and why not the “vietnamization” of the conflict.
Note that countries like Switzerland, Norway or Finland, known to be secularly neutral, have in turn returned against the former Soviet Union. They are providing Ukrainian troops with reinforcements of all kinds, particularly in sophisticated weapons.
In addition, they have accepted, like all of the European countries, to impose a range of new economic and financial sanctions against Moscow, almost as much as the other member states of NATO. The latter are today in their fourth coercive campaign on various levels against the former USSR.
Thus, Russia has just been placed again and, for the fourth consecutive time, in the ban of international trade at the risk of being cut off from the world. Although his “enemies” are still divided to take so many new sanctions so major against him.
Initiatives to which the Kremlin master has intelligently replied by requiring third -party states to settle their huge Russian gas and oil acquisitions in rubles. This means that they must pay for their various purchases in Russian currency (the rubles).
On the military side, the clashes are still dragging on an inevitable damage, although the Russian units avoid the battles of streets so deadly for each other. And what complicates the situation more is that sophisticated western weapons are constantly raining and everywhere as a help for the defense of the “little” Ukraine.
While the invaders opposite are experimenting with state -of -the -art weapons including hypersonic missiles. The latter can be launched with high precision from Russian territory because they have a range of more than two thousand km.
However, the multiplication on the ground of the behavior of the crews, among others, of the Russian armored vehicles betrays the state of lack of a glaring strategic development, doubled with dubious efficiency. Hence the lamentable trampling of Russian contingents on almost all fronts.
While the essential goal of the West – which inevitably pushed Zelensky to want to join the Atlantic organization – is to seek, at all costs and by all means, to have Russia of “rigid putin” in hell that has become of Ukraine is bogged down.
And why not, to see it “to be eaten there” more than it takes with its share of suffering for innocent civilians as well as the peoples of developing countries, particularly those of Africa which, soon, will be threatened with famine …
Putin, let us note, almost solo fight against the majority of states in the world, especially those under American obedience, who blame him irreparably.
And that, in the same way, there has never been in ancient, or recent history, a same understanding, at the same time military, economic and financial as important and comprising as many countries, which have become enemies or almost, that that drawn up against Russia where Putin advocates in absolute master.
Note, for example, that the tandem of criminals of the axis, Hitler and Mussolini, during the Second World War, did not experience the help of such a coalition in number in order to shoot down the allies.
Putin has, in front of him, today, all NATO countries, the United States, of course. And even the Scandinavian countries – considered in history and until recently – as absolutely neutral states. To which must be added Japan, South Korea and, hold on, Saudi Arabia. All acting in order to slow down the advances of the Russian army in Ukrainian lands.
Like this country and its courageous people today have so many aids of all kinds, including state -of -the -art weapons, supplied mainly by NATO, as well as experienced volunteers, running across everywhere, this destructive war is expected to expand …
And that, to the detriment of the good people who saw their cities destroyed one after the other and of which more than three million citizens have taken the way to exile all over the world, including in the USA itself and in Canada. As for Russia, she is today a candidate to know an unusual, even worse, spell that the one that the Soviet Union of Naguère has known in Afghanistan, yet with few unconditional allies on the Muslim side.
And why not kyiv would not be a new Vietnam which was a legendary tomb for the Gi’s. But this time for Russian troops? However, this war, in the long run, can still prove to be profitable, strategically to NATO. This organization being occupying, and for a long time, the northern flank of Europe.
And in a gesture deemed fundamentally provocative and at the height of the challenge, Biden has just stayed in Poland, the space of a day, only 80 km from the border of Ukraine at war against Russia …
