A new round of “propaganda” merges into a strange opus that the goals of the war are unattainable, and Russia does not have and will not have the resources to achieve them.
The system, as it were, is preparing to “withdraw into itself”, choking on blood, but the Kremlin’s tongue will still have to be pulled out.
The counteroffensive is ready. Or, to put it more correctly, everything is ready for a counteroffensive: it remains only to implement the third false strike in order to divert the enemy from the true tasks.
The Shebekino case (including looting) showed that the “security for freedom” deal does not work. Russia has destroyed horizontal institutions, and stuffed vertical institutions with more pale half-witted idiots than the president himself. It turned out that both vertical and horizontal models of interaction collapsed at the moment when the war penetrated the territory of Russia.
Moreover, it penetrated lightly – without 300,000 soldiers and massive rocket attacks.
The city, comparable in size to Bakhmut, in a couple of days and with virtually no casualties, ceased to be controlled by Russia so much that local groups began to arrange arbitrariness.
And here is an important signal – the Kremlin is not able to deal with several hotbeds of tension, so the groups can safely begin to “dance in blood and money”, without waiting for volunteers to penetrate their territory. If the FSB can control local outbreaks, then the total demolition of all rules and the transfer of controllability to the bandit turbulence zone makes the system completely helpless in the face of the threat of destruction.
No security, no freedom, no future – such a Russia “on the fire of patriotism” was prepared by Putin.
Now Peskov comes out with the idea that “the West does not allow the Kremlin to consider peace initiatives.”
The West offered peace initiatives throughout February 2022, when the West was not sure that Ukraine could resist Russia long enough to win the war of attrition.
Now Russia is collapsing both inside and out. An awkward question arises. And why should we come up with some options for a peaceful settlement if the best scenario is created thanks to military investments, which in one way or another are included in the zone of our own strategic interests?
There will be no “old peace”, there will be no “negotiations with Russia”. Russia will either sign the surrender on its own, or it will be forced to sign it by force. These are the realities, so the Kremlin already now needs to create an information pad “All goals have been achieved: we are leaving all territories, including Crimea.” But the Kremlin is not yet creating this bedding.
In vain. So far, the “peace treaty” does not include a demilitarized zone on Russian territory. If the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is successful, then this item will also fit into the “collective peace plan.”
And the longer Russia wages war, the stronger it threatens with nuclear weapons, the more phantasmagoric it is to offer its “initiatives”, the more capitulation will be the conditions for it.
The West “has gotten a taste” of managing the global situation, so it does not plan to make any “shifts” in the direction. It doesn’t make sense when you can hit the “jackpot” by investing money and weapons, but keeping the army and internal stability under complete control.
The entire West reached an economic plateau a few months ago. “Military shock and collapse” is over. The energy crisis is already in the past. Moscow has no levers of pressure on society.
In the most “vulnerable” Germany, the most popular politicians are the toughest hawks. And that’s it.
The military situation influences the European economy so weakly that citizens (in general) slightly deviate their vector of political preferences.
It’s time for the Kremlin to come out with their hands up. It’s time for Putin to put the revolver in his mouth and say goodbye to the idea of world domination. But the Kremlin wants to fight “by inertia”, hoping that someone will take pity on the crazy international criminal. But this will not happen: Russia has tried to “break” the West and the stable world order. And it’s unforgivable. And sticking out of the head of a dictator lying on the bloody ruins of statehood, the ax will be a reminder to all those who will be too ambitious next time.
