Russia will soon have won and fully secured the Donbass as well as several other areas which are now transferring fully to Russian control.
But what happens afterwards?
By the belligerent sound of the Kiev regime’s rhetoric Russia can expect continuing efforts to attack Russian assets both within the newly founded areas that previously were part of Ukraine and within Russia.
How will Russia respond to such provocations?
In my estimation the response will be severe and protracted. With the military backing of the USA, UK, EU and other nations aligned with the collective west Ukraine will be capable of mounting attacks over a protracted period.
For Russia there no longer remains any reason to restrain its responses and indeed many reasons to act immediately and in force to anything any element of the western world powers uses/abuses in the pursuit of its goals against Russia.
We are at the beginning of a full-blown world war that, unless there is some change of heart on all sides, looks certain to outlast us all.
The world has split in two but in a way I suspect the western powers didn’t expect or predict at all. The global south is not falling into line with its plans and requirements. This must be the cause of a truly significant shock in the western corridors of power. This means that many powerful nations will not react to further Russian military actions with the same voice as the elites of the western world.
The special military operation Russia mounted in Ukraine has been hugely successful on multiple fronts. Not least in causing the West to weaken itself economically, financially and socially. All the most devastating social consequences to be seen in the West will stem from its fervent desire to undermine Russia and will in wave after wave only serve to weaken itself.
Russia is moving forward and will go from strength to strength as the Eurasian Union grows along with the now expanding BRICS economic grouping. Russia and China will see every reason to build their strength against any future western assaults upon them and other nations in the West’s sights will also gather close and be minded to cooperate to the fullest.
Russia has little to fear in acting boldly, resolutely whenever any entity acts aggressively toward her now. Good friends and partners have every reason to support her and to act against a dying western world that has held its malignant power over them for far too long now. The dying beast will receive no pity as it has preyed upon others for generations and the final stab wounds will provide assurance it will never rise again.
