Trump hit Russia on the right cheek

34
The sharp aggravation in the Donbass, occurring despite the current “Easter truce”, is connected with Washington’s attempt to threaten Russia with creating a “second front” in the event of a too sharp reaction to the American strike in Syria.





The main objective of the American "retaliation" in Syria is the symbolic slap in Russia.

Donald Trump and his entourage, with their statements about the "chemical attack" in the Duma and threats, including at UN Security Council meetings, as always, deprived themselves of political maneuver and put the situation into a dead end, from which it would be extremely difficult to get out without losing face.

The position of the Americans is aggravated by the fact that Russia, through the mouth of its military and diplomatic representatives, unequivocally warned the United States that their aggressive actions would cause an immediate and extremely painful response.

Especially humiliating for the United States is that neither the president of Russia nor the head of government has descended into a controversy with Trump: the warnings are voiced by the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces and the permanent representative to the UN

At the same time, it is obvious that the Americans are not ready and do not want to really fight with Russia. But Trump cannot retreat either. Especially after the obvious weakness that the American leader showed in the situation of the Korean crisis. Waving a baton in front of Kim Jin Un’s nose and seeing that he was not scared, the American leader hid her behind his back (taking aircraft carrier groups away) and left with nothing.

The American leadership saw in the words of General Gerasimov a certain loophole and an opportunity to make a symbolic "retribution" without war with Russia, that Russia would respond if there was a threat to its citizens. From which the Americans concluded that if their attacks were not struck by the Russians, the Russian Armed Forces would not retaliate against the "carriers," that is, American aircraft and ships from which the missiles would be fired.

An indirect confirmation of this approach is the message published by the 11 of April in the Los Angeles Times.

“The Pentagon’s planning teams are ready to respond to the alleged chemical attack in Syria, but one danger is of particular concern - if the Russian military perish on Syrian territory, which will cause the regional war to develop into a confrontation between Washington and Moscow,” - worried edition.

It also reported that the Pentagon requires Trump to target “the Bashar Assad factories producing chlorine and other toxic agents,” that is, enterprises for the production of agricultural fertilizers and household chemicals. That is, in those places where the Russian military just will not.

Moreover, Trump directly offered Russia the scope of the upcoming strike.

“Russia promises to shoot down all the missiles fired on Syria. Get ready, Russia, because they will arrive - excellent, new and smart. You should not be a partner of an animal that enjoys killing people with gas, ”he wrote on Twitter. That is, the Americans launch rockets, and the Russians are trying to shoot them down without firing at ships and airplanes.

However, there is no certainty that Moscow will agree with this format. And in order to “convince” our country to accept it, the Americans took a number of steps. One of these is a package of recent sanctions, coupled with the unequivocal threat that they can be further strengthened.

Another "argument" was the aggravation in the Donbas, caused by the intensification of the "usual" aggressive actions of the Kiev formations.

So, for the first time in quite a long time, the Armed Forces of Ukraine inflicted a massive artillery strike on the residential quarter of Donetsk. As a result of the shelling of the outskirts of Donetsk, seven civilians were injured and 37 houses were damaged. In addition, gas pipelines were disabled in the Kuibyshev and Kirov districts of the capital of the DPR.

In total, according to the STSKK, almost 600 ammunition, including 152 caliber mm shells, was fired over the territory of the DPR within 24 hours.

Recall, recently, mainly positions of Donbass defenders and very front-line settlements left by residents and almost uninhabited have been mainly shelled.

Now, the blow is quite aimed precisely at residential areas and at urban infrastructure.

And take it anyway as a demonstration is impossible. The current shelling of civilian objects has no military significance and, obviously, is not the beginning of an offensive operation.

Recall that the barbaric shelling of Donbass agglomerations, aimed at "squeezing" the population of LDNR into Russia, was reduced after unequivocal warnings from Moscow.

This is a warning to Moscow: if it rejects the format of symbolic “retaliation” proposed by Trump, then a blow will be struck at the people's republics, to which our country will have to react and be drawn into hostilities in the Donbas. Which, of course, would be highly undesirable.

Moreover, it’s not just the participation of Russian troops in this conflict, but even pressure on Kiev can be a very negative reaction from the EU.

The combat capabilities of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are not too great, but hopes to extract maximum benefits from the anti-Russian hysteria sweeping the West, and even under the "guarantees" of Washington, such as those that Saakashvili had once given, could play a cruel joke with Kiev.

As for us, it is obvious that in the current situation we need to expect strikes in all directions.

      In principle, the Kremlin did not have such plans after the arrival of the Swiss Burkhalter. After all, they could have even minimized it, after high-profile defeats of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in boilers, if you did not occupy the entire Donbass, then move the border away from Donetsk. Mariupol was on a silver platter, it was possible to take without a fight. All this did not happen, because the curators had only one thing in mind - the Minsk Agreements (as a result of which the Donbass is moving away to Ukraine). Donbass was not needed, not like New Russia to Odessa.

        These are all scratches on Satan's face. Well, they would push the front from Mariupol. Where, in the desert, or what? Further, there are also cities and villages, and people. And Novorossia is needed ... and Ukraine is not needed not only for nothing, but even if they pay a trillion dollars for it. Then someone wrote that half of Kiev would instantly come under the banner of at least New Russia, even Russia. Good. And what to do with the second half?
        Fifteen million of ours is great! And the fifteen million meanest traitors? Speaking the same language, indistinguishable ... and suffering from a constant, enduring, acute desire to kill Russians? That is how they feel and do not be fooled. Why are they in Russia or New Russia? Are they hitting us in the back enough?
        Let the war continue, and let it become much harder. Then everyone in Ukraine will decide who is Russian here and who is the enemy of Russians (no one lives there anymore. There is no such nation as a Ukrainian). And let people move to where they want to live - among Russians or among horses. Here is a horse - an excellent name for the newest human community that is now ripening in Ukraine.

    This is some kind of surrealism ...

          Yeah. Those who needed it answered both for the plane and for Wagner. As for Shairat, they asked Russia for permission several hours before the strike. Well, they were allowed to plow near the take-off, and so what? More than half of the "axes" were lost along the way.

    You know, if every diplomatic attack or verbal diarrhea of ​​the country's leader, imagining himself a superpower, is perceived as a slap in the face, then you need to sit and not speak. Fortunately, this is not so. Russia is not being substituted for anyone, this is, firstly. It is strong enough to fight back in the event of a direct collision. This idea was expressed unambiguously by the president - why do we need a world in which there is no place for Russia. This is secondly. And finally, thirdly, Russia condescendingly looks at the tantrums that the West is rolling, and this beats far more than just threats. The truth is on our side.

    It is enough for Russia to give the go-ahead to the new Russians, to give them the same Iskander, and a couple of airborne regiments and in a week, all this Kiev Nazi trash will be cleaned up to the Polish border. What kind of second front are we talking about? In Ukraine, there are people who want to fight (nat baht does not count)?

    Still, the Syrians need to develop an action plan in case of re-shelling of American cruise missiles. As soon as the missiles fly, it is necessary to inflict, together with their destruction by air defense means, a massive blow by all the means of destruction available to the SAA, including land-to-ground missiles, against all groups of Americans located in Syria. As a result, we get: the liberation of the territory from the Americans, depriving the support of the IS fighters, we will make the Americans think about the meaning of their army’s presence in Syria and Trump’s arrogance will decrease.

    Again wipe and smear the snot on the cheeks. The announcers sound vigorously from all channels, how smartly the Syrians fought off smart smart slings and slingshots and how the aggressor bombed the desert, not daring to take a full-fledged strike. But, which is important for the East and is decisive, the Anglo-Saxons said, the Anglo-Saxons did, regardless of either the laws or the balance of power, but also on the approach of the AUG, declaring to everyone that they themselves are the law, they are power on this mortal land, all the rest slaves are obliged to listen and be silent, and whoever gets underfoot is warned not to accidentally fall under the elbow and distribution and then not cry or be offended, as has happened more than once. And it has been shown to the whole world that all these formidable speeches with frowning faces in Russia, flapping wings and clucking in the UN Security Council coddle, so entourage does not mean anything and does not solve anything, and most importantly, it does not pose any real threat and does not protect against anything . Everyone has retreated, get ready to be evacuated, they will ask us soon, a matter of time and a few more serious and deadly destructive blows to defeat, there are no more barriers, the formidable defender from the north turned out to be a straw effigy, miserable and cowardly, handing over the people who believed in him , unable even to protect his sailors on his own territory and save from ordinary would * dl.

    Putin likes to arrange a truce with Lavrov. Only with this truce for some reason others should live. They do not allow their children or relatives close to such a truce. It's easy to be kind at someone else's expense! Only click a finger on Putin and on his knees crawl forgiveness asking for everything! But he is noble, let others suffer, but he will not violate international law. I have a question for all truce lovers: “If they don’t respect me, why should I respect?
