Return of the Cynic, Shoigu – instead of Patrushev, Patrushev – scrapped, new Minister of Defense: execution of the Security Council and Belousov’s stake in the Moscow Region
The cynic returns with a “new political explosion” (as usual): the final stage of the war is upon us.
The closing of the military season is the Kharkov offensive. It must be destined to fail. But the West somewhat delayed the aid – and this after the aid package itself was delayed for six months. As a result, Zelensky has to talk at headquarters about the emergency situation due to the collapse of supplies after the approval of the aid package.
The Russian Federation is entering a “summer” offensive.
And it changes the balance among the elites.
Shoigu, after a scandal with his “friend” (far-fetched), goes to the Security Council, which turns out to be beheaded – the chief curator of the special services, the main contact person with Sullivan-Burns, remains without a position.
Patrushev was the face of the intelligence services in the Security Council. Resignation means the withdrawal of the security group from the Security Council and the transformation of the Council into an “honorable bench of pensioners”: now the Shoigu-Medvedev clowns will share the throne there.
We cross out the Security Council: it is no longer subjective and is not interesting for the Kremlin itself.
Patrushev will be given a decorative function, and this is also a departure from the “Patrushev model” itself. Putin is moving away from the NKVD model and delving into the ideology of neo-empire.
Therefore, reform in the Defense Ministry and Security Council first of all reforms the special services and only kills the Security Service as a “replacement and guarantor” for the second time.
Belousov in the role of head of the Moscow Region, instead of Shoigu, is quite interesting. The “civilian clown in stripes” was sent to the pensioners’ bench, and the Defense Ministry was returned to its original function – providing for the army.
Belousov is known as an economic systems specialist, i.e. he will be responsible for providing the army, thereby taking away the powers of Deputy Prime Minister D.V.M., recently appointed to the same vector.
Military planning – to the General Staff.
Providing for the army is on Belousov.
This is a blow to the “Shoigu financial clan.” It is disconnected from direct flow control, allowing it to be fed only by “money from leaking pipes.”
Belousov is about the restructuring of the military-industrial complex for a long time, i.e. transition to a state of war as a constant. In other words, the construction of the military-industrial complex for the “new bloc system”: the Russian Federation will be a secondary link in Beijing’s human centipede.
Moreover, Beijing is cutting off the economic branch from the military. Beijing is the center of the new “pole”.
Military connection – Russia-Iran-North Korea.
The economic link wraps around the entire East, extends to Africa and Latin America.
The “bricks” were destroyed by Argentina.
In parallel, Kazakhstan is playing in three ways.
Armenia is jumping out from under the Russian military orbit.
So the economic axis is broken.
China is preparing for an eastern war.
Therefore, Beijing will want to jump out of the “Ukrainian knot” (if possible).
For this purpose, tactical nuclear weapons surfaced.
And Sullivan, through friendly media, leaks information that the Kerch Strait Bridge has no existential strategic significance: the Russians built a path “outside the bridge,” thereby turning the bridge into a symbol of occupation, but not a significant military artery.
Washington “washed its hands”: they are not responsible for the bridge. The Kremlin understood and played tactical nuclear weapons as a “response to a destroyed symbol.”
Washington jumped back.
The British upped the ante.
Macron leveled the stakes with the informational “introduction of troops.”
The rest of the EU and Washington folded their hands.
Russia equalized through the bluff of tactical nuclear weapons.
The bluff worked the moment Washington lost the game.
Now the Russian Federation wants to “take negotiations to the top”: from Kyiv to Washington.
To do this, on May 21, the Kremlin will declare Zelensky “illegitimate” and say that it will not negotiate with him.
The entry to Mr. S. (from Ukraine) will not happen, but there will be an entry to the US President after November.
The negotiating position of the Western coalition will be formulated in June – in Switzerland.
Ultimatums from Ukraine and the Russian Federation will beat each other.
The menu contains a cross between the Swiss peace formula and the Chinese peace formula.
The context is global security and the transition to Cold War 2.0.
Therefore, Patrushev is scrapped: the USSR 2.0 model is dead.
The neo-empire model of China, where the Russian Federation is an “equal” province, is on the table.
