The latest incursion into Russian Federation territory will perhaps result in a final end to Russian patience over such attacks, clearly acts of war. Putin has apparently called for a meeting of Russia's Security Council for 1pm Moscow time.
A very clear signal to the Kiev regime in response to this latest attack is vital. Declaring war on the regime and hitting government offices wherever they have been located across Ukraine would be my choice of response.
Attacking such targets has been avoided until now as has declaring war on the regime. Clearly there are significant geopolitical risks and potentially very negative consequences which are without doubt why this has not been done till now. But it seems to me we have reached a point where declaring war and hitting these targets has become necessary no matter what those knock-on consequences for Russia may be.
Of course another reason for not declaring and waging all-out war against Ukraine is the (until now) perceived need to have someone in power there to negotiate Ukraine's eventual capitulation or peace settlement. If Russia was to eliminate Zelensky then this would create a crisis and possible power grab by the Nazis of Ukraine. Zelensky however, shows zero sign of EVER submitting to the inevitable end of this conflict. He appears totally incapable of confronting the reality of the situation. And besides, the chances are that there would be massive popular resistance in Ukraine to the Nazis taking over. They have suffered incredibly in so many ways that they are surely totally sickened by the war and crave its end.
If it is necessary for Russia to take temporary control of western Ukraine so be it. A Ukrainian president and government for Ukraine that acts pragmatically to restore peace and end the dominance of Ukrainian Nazi forces is vital. Russia would be in a position to coordinate the process of electing such entities in the first few months after Zelensky and his minions are gone. A transition to EU control would be coordinated with Brussels but with the stipulation backed by Russia’s overwhelming military power in the region that no entry to NATO by Ukraine would be permissible.
With the world largely distracted by Israel's genocidal war in Gaza and particularly in this moment by Iran's expected response to Israel's latest assassinations it may be exactly the right time to hit Zelensky and Kiev and hit them very hard.
