“Si vis pacem, para bellum.” “If you want peace prepare for war.” Putin understands this Latin saying very well.
Thanks Scott; I always learn things when listening to you. Had no idea that was the reason Burisma hired Biden’s son. There was always question marks in my mind on why they hired him; now i understand and it makes perfect sense. Thank you for all you do.
While I agree with what most of what Scott says, I believe Russia will invade.
The only ones who have the power to prevent an invasion is NATO, by guaranteeing they will not get Ukraine and Georgia into the gang. But they will not do it because that is not their goal.
Russia is between a rock and a hardplace. They either invade Ukraine now and prevent it from joining NATO or they fight NATO on Russia’s border 10 years from now.
NATO wants to show Russian “aggression” as a means to keep NATO alive and well, ready for their next adventure. Meanwhile, the US wants to kill NS-2 in order to sell the LNG to the EU and control Europe’s energy market.
Biden’s ringing the alarm everyday is designed to keep the fire going and ensure that Russia invades. Meanwhile, business is brisk. Poland buys $250B worth of tanks, Finland buys F-35’s, Ukraine is showered with armament which they will use the IMF loans to pay for it and voila….a perfect business environment. And who dies? The hapless Ukrainians thinking they are fighting for freedom.
In my opinion, Russia WILL invade, unless NATO signs in the dotted line.
But there is no need for Russia to invade UNLESS the UkroNaszis attack the Donbass and start large scale killing of civilians. However, the evacuation of separatist civilians from the front line areas largely precludes this scenario. Now, if the UkroNaszis attack, they will be destroyed within the separatist areas – just as they were in 2014/2015. The UkroNaszis have no air force to speak of so their destruction will largely be an exercise in pest control, and their destruction will be seen as righteous by the rest of the world for breaching Minsk II.
All the UkroNazis can do now is fruitlessly shell the Donbass area. And at some point very soon Putin will turn off their gas once and for all….
As for joining NATO, Ukraine has more chance of joining the Association of Caribbean States.
Sorry, but I nodded off during the video’s portions w/o Kennedy. Did I miss anything?
There is a lot more to the Ukrainian crisis than the country ascension of to NATO or WMD on its territory. Putin made clear last summer that he was not going to allow the regime to ethnically cleanse the country of the russophone Ukrainians either by pushing them to emigrate or by degrading their civil status. Here is my take: https://medium.com/@jirisevera/%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%BE-%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE-in-ukraine-959cc14eaaf3
