Russian military exercises catalyze the split of the world
It is completely incomprehensible to me why most people think that in order to win a war, it is necessary to attack, you need to lose your people when taking some fortified areas, you need to capture some territory, and so on. Somehow we quickly forget some ingenious thoughts, including those of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Second World War.
For political, ideological, ideological disputes, we forget about simple truths that were once already voiced by those who are currently in historical disgraced. Probably, the time today is when people easily change their beliefs to please their own belly. It is good where the trough is larger and deeper. Where peelings are packed prettier.
Where you do not need to get your daily bread. It is enough just to go to the trough and eat, eat, eat. What happens next when you gain weight, cover yourself with a layer of fat, it does not matter. They say they will be taken to paradise, to a meat processing plant. At least no one has returned from there yet. So it’s good there… Probably, you don’t even need to go to the trough. The food itself pours into the mouth ...
Reading materials from the Western press, speeches of some Western politicians, the groans of a "outcast" from a neighboring state about a meeting in Donbass, I suddenly remembered the words of I. Stalin: "If the enemy does not surrender, he is destroyed!" Yes, the Supreme Commander borrowed this phrase from Maxim Gorky. But as to the place, he quoted it.
Just a few words that some need to remember. Remember, first of all, to preserve your own life. Regardless of which side of the confrontation line you are on.
Why does the West get nervous when Russia conducts planned exercises?
What is happening today in relation to the exercises of the Russian army in Western politicians, in the Western media, among our home-grown liberals, is not at all unexpected. Twice a year, exactly with the frequency with which the final exercises of the Russian army are held, a howl rises about Russian aggression, about training to capture some Estonia, Poland or Ukraine.
This is despite the fact that the Ministry of Defense does not hide the plans and timing of the exercises and announces them at the beginning of the next training period. What caused this periodic panic in the West? Is there any real danger from such checks?
I will disappoint the couch peacekeepers: the danger, from the point of view of the West, is indeed there. In the course of the exercises, the troops are working out, by and large, only two variants of combat operations - offensive and defensive. The rest of the questions are being worked out in parallel. In particular, logistics and so on. What are the conditions under which the exercises are held? In conditions close to the theater of operations on which it is supposed to operate during a special period.
So, prepared subunits, units, formations and even formations go out to training grounds imitating the terrain of a potential enemy. If the task of the exercises is an offensive, then the defense ministers and chiefs of the General Staff of the neighboring states are straining. The exercises show all the shortcomings of their defense, including. If defense is practiced, it triggers the same reaction. The military sees what will happen if they are ordered to advance.
But the most important thing is the concentration of trained units and formations. Again, those who have served for at least six months participate in the final exercises. This is not cannon fodder, until you understand what weapon in their hands, they are already soldiers. I will not write about the officer corps. Syria and the Caucasus have seriously "diluted" the officer corps with experienced combat commanders who know the war from the inside.
Can you imagine what would happen if, instead of exercises, a command was issued to start real hostilities? Will the opposing party be able to react quickly to such actions? Is someone able to stop such an offensive or break through such a defense? Here is the task for the NATO generals. So much for the advantage of Russia, which the West itself created by quietly sneaking up to our borders.
We can do what we want on our territory and at the same time make the West nervous. NATO, on the other hand, needs to do a lot of work for approximately the same actions. Both in volume and in time. Russia will always have time to prepare an answer. Only one thing remains - a nuclear missile strike. But even this is fraught with a serious "response", which, given the population density in Europe, will cost millions of lives.
So beautifully conceived, but these Russians
When in February a video of the transfer of weapons and military equipment to Donbass by Ukraine appeared on the Internet, the West was silent.
“This is different. This is the right of the state to move its troops on its territory at its own discretion. "
But as soon as a video with Russian echelons on Russian territory appeared, the "veil from the eyes" of Western politicians fell off. How? Why? It's scary!
Especially a lot of materials have appeared on the Crimea. It's clear. Under active informational pressure from Ukraine and the United States, a man in the West continues to believe in the occupation of Crimea and the desire of the people to return to Ukraine. For an example of the Russophobic insanity of the Western media, I'll take the BBC. Namely, the Russian service of this publication:
“The transfer of troops is taking place against the backdrop of tensions on the border between Russia and Ukraine, where unusually large forces have also been drawn in recent weeks. The situation caused concern on the part of Western countries - in particular, the United States, the European Union and NATO called on Russia to stop building up forces on the border ”.
“As the German newspaper Spiegel reported last week, a large army camp has emerged in the east of the Crimean peninsula. In this case, the publication refers to satellite images available to the publication. According to these data, the camp is located about 30 kilometers from the village of Marfovka in the east of the peninsula. "
“On April 16, the press service of the Southern Military District reported that units of the 58th Army held exercises in Crimea. At the same time, the message said that units of the 58th Army were conducting exercises in cooperation with the forces of the 4th Army of the Air Force and Air Defense of the Southern Military District, the Black Sea fleet and the Caspian Flotilla, and the message said that these exercises are planned, and they check the results of the winter training period for the troops of the Southern Military District. "
There are about a dozen such messages every day. I would like to comment on the message about the 58th Army. Let me remind you that it was this army that "lathered the withers" of the Georgian army in 2008. It was the 58th that humiliated NATO militarily. It turned out that neither equipment, nor weapons, nor instructors can create an army capable of somehow resisting Russia.
To be honest, we have somewhat forgotten about the feat of this army in South Ossetia. But the West remembers. He remembers and considers this army a real danger for "Western democracy". Rumor has it that the participation of these soldiers and officers in the exercises in Crimea largely forced the NATO command to moderate the militant rhetoric.
Most Western university graduates have problems with geography. For school graduates, this is, in general, terra incognita. Therefore, the talk about the impending invasion of Ukraine by armies from the Crimea looks comical. There are no idiots among generals in the Russian army.
To launch an offensive against a neighboring state of the army through a narrow neck in the region of Krasnoperekopsk and Armyansk is the lot of idiots. There are other ways, which are much simpler and more effective with existing layouts. And today's Ukraine is not of interest. Neither as a territory nor as an economic region. Some problems. A wild field at the beginning of its creation ...
Again the Russian sea
It is strange that the Western press is of little interest to what made the NATO generals really sad. I mean the Black Sea. That theater of operations where theoretically Russia could have problems. The straits are controlled by a NATO member state. The Black Sea coast of Russia, without Crimea, is quite vulnerable. What prevents NATO ships from completely blocking and controlling the Russian Black Sea Fleet?
And it was here that the clever strategy of our military leadership, which foresaw a possible deterioration in relations with NATO, came into play. Crimea has truly become a fortress, which it was in the composition of Russia all previous centuries. A ship that somehow enters the Black Sea waters will be immediately escorted and, upon receiving the appropriate command, destroyed with a 100% probability.
Again, to quote some BBC reports:
“On Monday, the press service of the Southern Military District of Russia announced that aviation exercises involving 50 aircraft of the air force aviation, air defense and the Black Sea Fleet. They involve fighters, bombers and attack aircraft.
The message specifies that the aircraft will perform missile launches and bombing at sea targets, flights in adverse weather conditions and at extremely low altitudes above water.
The pilots will also learn to accompany naval strike groups and operate as part of "reconnaissance strike complexes while ensuring security in the Black Sea," the report said.
In addition, Russian attack pilots have already worked out the operational transfer of aircraft to airfields in the Crimea and, conversely, beyond its borders. "

“On April 17, a detachment of ships from the Caspian Flotilla entered the Black Sea through the Kerch Strait. He became subordinate to the command of the Black Sea Fleet. The ships covered 100 kilometers along the rivers and the Volga-Don canal. The detachment includes three artillery and eight landing boats, as well as support vessels.
On April 18, two large landing ships (BDK) - Kaliningrad and Korolev - entered the Black Sea through the Bosphorus. They are part of the Baltic Fleet. Prior to that, on the same day, the BDK of the Northern Fleet of Russia "Alexander Otrakovsky" and "Kondopoga" entered the Black Sea.
On Wednesday, April 14, a large detachment of ships, which also included a large landing ship, left the basing points of the Black Sea Fleet, the press service of the Southern Military District reports, without specifying how many and what landing ships operated as part of the group.
In addition to them, it included the frigate "Admiral Makarov", the small missile ships "Graivoron" and "Vyshny Volochek", the air-cushion missile ship "Samum", the minesweeper "Ivan Golubets". The press service of the Southern Military District reported that they conducted exercises to overcome the minefield. "

Do you get the feeling that only Russians are active in the Black Sea?
Especially when Biden has recalled his ships and canceled their entry into the region?
The Turkish fleet is carrying out some tasks far from the Crimea. I understand that now there are British ships in some heads, which express solidarity to Ukraine. Where are they now? Nope! They may only express it in May. But there is little media coverage of this.
How is Khoja Nasreddin on this issue:
- And do not mourn my head, because in twenty years one of us will surely die - either me, or the emir, or the donkey.
By May, the final checks will be over, and then it will indeed be safe to demonstrate solidarity. Well done British. And they ate the fish and ...
The result?
Romania, Bulgaria, Turkey, as members of NATO, Ukraine and Georgia, as shortcomings of the alliance, proudly brushed off the savory spit and pretended that it was most likely the birds to blame. Even the fact that Russia closed the sky over some areas of the Black Sea was swallowed. Everything as usual.
But what Russia is not going to do, at least it didn’t announce it, caused a lot of protests. I'm talking about blocking the passage of civilian ships to the Ukrainian ports of the Azov Sea. Yes, we began to examine the merchants more closely before the passage under the bridge, but there was no talk of a blockade. Yes, now merchants are idle a little longer in front of the bridge, but there are no violations of international laws and rules of navigation.
I understand the confusion of Kiev. It turns out that if you act within the framework of compliance with international treaties and laws, no one "in the world" will help. We can close our eyes to violations of these agreements, we can say that this is different, but we cannot resist the legitimate actions of the opposing side. Especially when this party itself can ask for such violations.
I’m probably a little bit romantic, but it’s nice to realize that the Black Sea, at least a little, is again Russian.
Sharing the world always hurts
What we see every day now in one or another country of the world, those anti-Russian demonstrations, on the one hand, and pro-Russian, on the other, pro-American or anti-American sentiments, is a logical continuation of the restructuring of the entire system of international relations. The world is painfully parting with illusions. The world is again divided into camps.
Opposing camps are being created. The United States is now opposed not by the USSR, but by the PRC and the Russian Federation. The difference in these confrontations is that it is easier to "fight coldly" with one opponent than with two. Especially when these two have not teamed up. But this is a temporary phenomenon. The Americans, with their unyielding and often dastardly policies, themselves are pushing those on the opposite side to union.
Can you imagine the enemy of the United States if China and Russia become real allies?
Returning to where I started this material, we can say that what is happening now on international platforms, how world leaders react to the actions of the West and Russia, is a battle. Probably the most difficult battle, when they win not by the number of soldiers, not by the quantity and quality of equipment and weapons, but by well-prepared, including the military, responses to the numerous challenges of the enemy. When the threat is eliminated by creating in the enemy an understanding of the loss of his position in the event of the beginning of the active phase of the war.
I am far from victorious reports and victorious moods. Fight, even battle, is only a small part of the war. A grain of victory or defeat. Very often, victory turns into a global defeat, and defeat in battle, on the contrary, becomes the basis of a great victory.
So far, only one thing needs to be understood. We begin to live in a different world. Is it good or bad? I dont know.
But what many warned about for a long time happened ...
