After drawing, blocking, destroying and disarming the main Ukrainian Army battle force, the rebels now have:
- humanitarian aid,
- international connectivity,
- international brigades,
- a navy,
- a regular army,
- expanded personnel,
- are apparently are activating the underground guerilla within Mariupol and elsewhere,
- and according to at least one report, an ‘air force’.
Mariupol can be blocked without ‘taking’ it, and ‘taken’ from within by guerilla/subversive activity.
- Melitopol awaits.
- Something is happening in Kharkiv.
- Transcarpathia is ready.
- Transnistria is mobilized.
- Abkhazia signs common security space treaty with Russia later this year.
Putin and Lavrov have stated that Ukraine must negotiate with the rebels, but the rebels have stated they will not accept a ceasefire, federalization and Ukraine in its current form.
The Russian war plan for the long-anticipated NATO invasion of Ukraine is a matter of public record in novels, blogs, military doctrine, etc. As Putin told Bush in 2009, if NATO were ever to move on Ukraine, it would ‘cease to exist’. And the Russian war plan has been pulled off (without firing a shot) in public view, but with plausible deniability, turned into a people’s revolution that is likely to create a new socialist state in Europe, and has:
- split the US and Europe,
- driven a wedge into the EU,
- exposed NATO,
- exposed the western press,
- gave hope to Latin America, Africa and Asia (and Europe) hope for a new future based on cooperation and peace.
This is truly the most important event in history since WWII.
I’ve always loved Russian culture and history, now I have to further hand it to the Russians, they are the greatest American revolutionaries in post-Vietnam history.
This is nothing short of breathtaking!
