A War Russia Set to Win

A War Russia Set to Win

M. K. Bhadrakumar, Tribuneindia.com – Two massive terrorist strikes misfired spectacularly and a terrible beauty is born in the Ukraine war. These two carefully planned attacks in quick succession — on Nord Stream gas pipelines and Crimean Bridge — were intended as a knockout blow to Russia. According to President Vladimir Putin, people ‘who want to finally sever ties between Russia and the EU, weaken Europe’ are behind the Nord Stream blasts. He named the US, Ukraine and Poland as ‘beneficiaries’.

India should expect the defeat of the US and NATO, which completes the transition to a multipolar world order

Last Wednesday, Russia’s domestic intelligence service FSB identified Ukraine’s military intelligence chief, Kyrylo Budanov, as the mastermind behind the Crimean attack. The New York Times and Washington Post also pointed fingers at Kiev, quoting ‘sources’. While Nord Stream-1 has been crippled, one of the strings of Nord Stream-2 remains intact. Putin said last week that the pipeline could be restored and Russia could deliver about 27 billion cubic metres of gas. ‘The ball is on the side of the European Union, if they want — let’s turn on the tap,’ he said.

But mum’s the word from Brussels. It is a profoundly embarrassing moment for the EU. The triumphalism has vanished as Europe is threatened by years of recession caused by the blowback from sanctions against Russia, where the US insisted on the cut off of energy ties with Moscow. The EU has now become a captive market for Big Oil and is left to buy LNG from the US at the asking price, which is six to seven times higher than the domestic price in the US. (Contracted price for long-term Russian supply for Germany used to be about $280 per 1,000 cubic metres as against the current market price hovering around $2,000.)

Plainly put, the Europeans have been nicely played by the Americans. India should take note of the US’ sense of entitlement. Basically, the Biden administration created a contrived energy crisis whose real aim is war profiteering.

The Crimean Bridge attack of October 8 is much more serious. Zelenskyy has crossed a red line that Moscow had repeatedly warned him against. Putin has disclosed that there have also been three terrorist attacks against the Kursk NPP. Russians will settle for nothing less than the ouster of the Zelenskyy regime.

First, we get we stop the war because it is costing us too much money then we hear we are profiting from the war. Somebody needs to make up their mind. Russia likely losing another big piece of ground this coming week. Does not look from here they are winning anything.

How is poland a beneficiary?

Russia wants.to fight.a war without calling.it a war.

Russia wants to fight a wsr where they cwn limit the other sides choice of weapons and targets

Russia wants to dictate the conditions of a war,limoting the enemy to wgat russia deems is te enemies territory, while saying any attack on thier territory is a red line.

Russia wants to hit power plants, tit for tat should be in.play,its really that simple.

In war you just may not get to call.the rules, you can try.
And what?
Whine?

How is poland a beneficiary?

Because with North-Stream out of commission, the Norway/Poland pipeline is going to become much more important for gassing Europe.

Russia wants.to fight.a war without calling.it a war.

Yes.

Russia wants to fight a wsr where they cwn limit the other sides choice of weapons and targets

They'd like to , but in order to succeed they would have to close of all of Ukraine from Europe from Chelm down to Hrbrenne and even more south Odessa. Chelm is quite close to the Russian border, so closing that will prevent much weaponry from even reaching Ukraine.

Russia wants to dictate the conditions of a war,limoting the enemy to wgat russia deems is te enemies territory, while saying any attack on thier territory is a red line.

And yet, many large Ru-border cities like Belgorod are hit daily with missiles that we never hear about in Western news.

Russia wants to hit power plants, tit for tat should be in.play,its really that simple.

...

But if they do, nukes go flying and everyone knows that.

Markje perhaps you should post your sources that show how many times Belgorod has been hit by missiles?

The only source I could find is from Wikipedia and the number of times Belgorod has been hit is far, far less than Kiev or Kharkov.

Serious question WC. Do you really think that sources like Wiki and Yahoo are going to be accurate and unbiased, when it comes to reporting anything that paints Russians as victims?

They already ignore the pre amble to the start of this conflict and simply claim that Putin is a mad man, the new Hitler and this is all entirely unprovoked evilness, which requires a western response. None of their reporting will cover the build up including Nato training in Ukraine, on the Russian border, the Bio factories funded by the US or the repeated Russian requests to back off.....which of course went ignored and here we are.

Try Telegram channels. Being able to read/write Russian in Cyrillic is a must though. My written russian is still 4-year-old or something, but reading goes better every year.

This is called "Shooting the Messenger."  Instead of writing off facts because of the author or where published, why find something within you believe is not factual to discuss?

One should use facts to form opinions, but you can't use opinions to create facts.

Everyone is guilty of this, when someone mentions rt.com or 1tv.ru , immediatly its "propaganda" and therefore not true.

What everyone keeps forgetting though, is that propaganda is at its strongest when its telling the truth.

If it weren't for the gullible, those not capable of doing some simple research to separate fact from fiction, or understand the concept of context, I'd agree with you.  There is an industry that makes fortunes out of them.



I wonder what the circulation numbers were for this issue.  IIRC some RUA members spouted such nonsense as well.

Eh no its not.

I'm asking WC a direct question regarding the sources he regularly uses and if he understands what information he may glean from his go to source. This has zero to do with shooting the messenger. It's about asking WC if he's aware of the greater goings on, if he understands why I'm asking this question and if he uses these sources because it backs up his views.

I simply wonder if he read the other stuff because he never posts it or criticises NATO/the West/Ukraine, like a neutral person would.

 I spent some time reading news reports from/about Belgorod it seems Ukraine started in May, I come just shy of 100 since the start of the war. This excludes Russian self inflicted strikes (2).

To my reading and thinking this city is a fair target for Ukraine, but everyone in entitled to there own opinion.

I seriously doubt there are many unbiased media sources available. Not Yahoo or AP or Tass or RT or Al Jazeera or any other media. The problem with using Russian news sources for the Ukraine-Russian war is media such as Tass and RT are owned and operated by the Russian government. They report what they're told to report by the Kremlin. Yahoo, AP and other news sources don't have a government connection although IMO I wouldn't rely on them as being totally independent.

As I've mentioned I'm finishing my Phd. In grad school some profs have banned Wikipedia as a reference because it's too easily manipulated.

When I've done work for a client I have two rules. I don't use Wikipedia and I must have at least 3 sources for information I reference and of course I have to document the references. RUA is not work or grad school so I don't bother with the 3 sources rule. Especially since many other posters don't give any references at all when they post.

As I've stated many times I don't see why Ukraine can't be a member of NATO and the EU? So what if Ukraine is on Russia's border. Belarus is a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) and borders several NATO countries I don't remember Russia and Belarus asking permission from the NATO countries they bordered to form the CSTO or its predecessor.

The USSR formed the Warsaw Pact and again no permission from other European countries was sought for the formation of the Warsaw Pact. Kaliningrad lies in the middle of NATO countries and is likely nuclear armed. Again no permission was sought by Russia to militarize Kaliningrad.

The only way to be neutral is by sticking to the facts and in the correct context. Much of what is posted here are opinions, often intermingled with misrepresented facts and/or taken out of context. I consider myself neutral, or at least open to hearing the other side of the story, and I will even accept the 'other side' if the facts and context line up.  Despite this, I get all kinds of named awards around here, LOL. I don't find WestCoast's replies far out of line as far as factual matters go, and his opinions can be thought-provoking.

As far as a critique of the West/NATO/Ukraine goes, you might want to try asking specific questions instead.

Rosco you really should read all my posts. I've repeatedly pointed out how corrupt I think my own PM Justin Trudeau is. Along with Joe Biden, Donald Trump and other past US presidents. With this constant changing of PMs in the UK I've got to believe that the UK is at least as corrupt as Canada and the US.

As for Nazis in Ukraine again it's something I've criticized. When I mention all the Nazis in Russia and give links to the information all I hear is silence from those who talk about Nazis in Ukraine. Why is that Rosco? Are Nazis in Russia with links to the Kremlin OK?

Transparency International measures corruption around the world. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. Russia is even more corrupt than Ukraine as hard as that is to believe. Surprisingly Belarus is less corrupt than both.

Europe is threatened by years of recession caused by the blowback from sanctions against Russia, where the US insisted on the cut off of energy ties with Moscow. The EU has now become a captive market for Big Oil and is left to buy LNG from the US at the asking price, which is six to seven times higher than the domestic price in the US. (Contracted price for long-term Russian supply for Germany used to be about $280 per 1,000 cubic metres as against the current market price hovering around $2,000.)

Plainly put, the Europeans have been nicely played by the Americans. India should take note of the US’ sense of entitlement. Basically, the Biden administration created a contrived energy crisis whose real aim is war profiteering.

Putin has disclosed that there have also been three terrorist attacks against the Kursk NPP. Russians will settle for nothing less than the ouster of the Zelenskyy regime.

Those silly Euro's threw themselves into multiple years
of recessions because they put sanctions on Russia. Maybe
someone can explain the economics involved there.

Nobody blamed cruel Bill for keeping her on the

colluding with the sneaky Russians tricked Hillary
into forgetting to campaign in both Wisconsin
and Michigan.

You were spouting on about the Russian hoax for
years.

Thanks, 2tall. You just provided a great example of why it is a good idea to understand and maintain context in discourse.
