"Russia will win" - the US press describes a variant of the provocation of the war by Kiev

_{Servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the JFO zone}

The drop in the rating of the head of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, pushes him to make hasty and risky decisions, as well as to act as a provocateur of military actions against the country that has already “taken away vast territories”. Naturally, Kiev counts and hopes for the help of the West in its struggle to "de-occupy" Crimea and Donbass. In this case, Ukraine has ghostly, but still positive chances of success in the designated case. However, the situation radically changes and turns upside down if Kiev is the aggressor and initiator. American columnist Ivanka Barzashka writes about this in an article for The Washington Post.

Scenarios for the development of the situation

As the author writes, a team of several international experts considered more than ten scenarios of a direct clash between Russia and Ukraine, as well as the further development of the situation. As a result, the probable results obtained confirm the natural victory of Moscow over Kiev, this is especially characteristic of cases when the conflict begins due to the provocations of the latter.

To briefly describe the opinions of experts, in the event of an attack by the Russian Federation, Ukraine has a chance to receive moral support from the West and lose. In the opposite situation, Kiev will not be able to count even on this minuscule in relations with partners in the United States and Europe.

The logic of the experts is simple: having received assurances of support at all possible levels, Kiev is actively provoking a war, but when it starts, Washington and Brussels will only make political gestures to provide assistance, and express concern, nothing more. And Ukraine will not stand alone. This is exactly what the “confidence” trap looks like for Kiev, into which Zelensky falls deeper and deeper in his pursuit of ratings.

The containment dilemma

The US press is literally trying to "reach out" to Kiev with a warning that excessive self-confidence will lead to unjustified risks and consequences. "Lulling" by the West to a sober assessment of the situation for Ukraine will result in an unequivocal victory for Moscow, which is predicted in all scenarios for the development of a direct conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

As a result, it turns out that between Ukraine and the collective West there was a defocusing of understanding, especially of such an important point as the meaning of the often repeated phrase "support for sovereignty." There is a theoretical and political interpretation of this term, state and regime. And there is a practical filling with the meaning and action of this statement. In a way, a "containment dilemma" arises, confusing the cards of Ukraine and the West, while simultaneously unleashing the hands of the Russian Federation.

In any case, Kiev needs to listen to the scenarios developed by experts for the development of the situation during an open confrontation with the Russian Federation. All of them are not in favor of Kiev, sums up the American columnist.

... that Kiev is counting on and hoping for help from the West in its struggle to "de-occupy" Crimea and Donbass. In this case, Ukraine has ghostly, but still positive chances of success ...

She has no chance of success. And overseas they understand this much more clearly than even in Kiev. Therefore, it will not come to war, because then the democrats will lose their most important trophy (Ukraine), and this does not make sense. You need a constant state of tension, the expectation of a conflict, but not the war itself ...

[210ox]

Kiev's strategy is to constantly maintain tensions between the West and Russia. Perhaps we will overstrain. Economically and politically.

In Ukraine, chtol, have you seen a strategic player ???
Maybe it's a strategy after all. West , obediently and thoughtlessly implemented by Ukraine?

[210ox]

I agree. But Kiev brings its own part to this strategy, which looks more like masochism.

This is not masochism.
Movement of a weak-willed organism somewhat delayed in reflexes, with complete atrophy of its own brain, controlled by impulses-commands from the outside.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

The article is rather muddy and difficult to chew. But the meaning is crystal clear: when any variants Russia defeats Ukraine. Everything seems to be clear: there will be no war!
But I would not be in a hurry, "it is not evening yet" and not August, SP-2 has not yet been completed and launched! Who knows these frostbitten State Department officials and what they are capable of!

[Shiva83483]

and you ask, otkel took this very masochist-founder of the movement of masochists

[Finches]

This is Washington's strategy, and no one asks Kiev ... Ukraine looks like a little evil dog that was bitten by an encephalitis tick (nationalism), which caused it to contract rabies. The owners put her on a chain, where she comes out barking and splashing poisonous saliva, but if she breaks, then she will need to be shot, out of harm's way!

[Don karleone]

Russia will win !!!! And you, you were counting on something else. Are you sick?

The American newspaper (edition) had nothing to "plug" the information gap for the release of the material, and published an obvious fact to everyone?

This is not just an article, it is a description of the results of the "war games" conducted by experts from King's College London, the British Defense Academy and Livermore National Laboratory, incl. with the participation of former Deputy Defense Ministers of the United States.

- It's been a long time since I took checkers in my hands! - said Chichikov

Apparently the experts had nothing else to do, so they "played the game" Russia-Ukraine, with the notoriously known result - It doesn't matter who starts ("white" or "black"), but Russia wins the game.

[nnm]

Translation of the original source, actually:
https://inosmi.ru/politic/20210517/249727011.html
Apparently, they did not calculate the result, but the number of losses on both sides and came to the conclusion that even playing with someone else's yellow-blue pieces was not worth it.

Zelensky Zero, in order to survive, says and does only what is allowed or ordered. Even the alcoholic who panned in front of him in the ue-roine, and he did not dare to go to war against Russia, because in his drunken brain there was only one thought - how not to become a junk, no matter who exactly liquidated him. And Zelensky is not even allowed to think, only to do what the sponsors of the Maidan tell him to do. ..

You're wrong! It was Petya and his comrades who launched the massacre in Donbass and declared it at war with Russia.

[Yaro Polk]

Attacking bastards all sorts, always get in the face.

[markant1970]

In April, Ze's rating, according to KIIS, even rose to 31%.
Victory, yes, but the price of the issue ... Probably will be more than over Georgia

[nnm]

The one who pays for the rating is the one who dances.

[markant1970]

Here I agree with you, KIIS "tarnished" its reputation with the "order" from Medvedchuk

[nnm]

Yes, there, that the KIIS, that the Razumkov Center and so on in the presidential elections showed themselves "excellent". Not to mention the elections to local councils - no matter how they stretch Smeshko's numbers - nothing happens. And the same Sharia, who went into the mass of advice point-blank, is not noticed.

[boris epstein]

Russia does not strive for war, but attempts to reason with diplomacy do not lead to success. Whose side is the issue price? No one will go to Ukraine without a preliminary missile strike on command and communications posts, warehouses, groupings of the Armed Forces, anti-missile and air defense. Not 2008. Georgia got off easy yet.

[markant1970]

Don't be ridiculous. Learn folk wisdom about paper and ravines

[abrakadabre]

The fall in the rating of the head of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, pushes him to make hasty and risky decisions

It's already funny. You might think that ZE influences something there personally. There, and without this clown, there is someone to make decisions. Mostly at the US Embassy.

[Daniil Konovalenko]

Those who remember the war do not dream of war.

[Revolver]

Trump would definitely not get involved, and you never know about Sleepy Joe Biden. He doesn't even manage his sphincters, much less foreign policy. And at what point for what thread the puppeteers will pull him, hell knows.

[rocket757]

The one for whom she thought works listens and draws the right conclusions ...
no, not that case.

[Alexander 3]

I agree, but civilians of Donbass continue to die. How hard it is to hear from them that they are used to this. By firing a shell at the front-line territory, the Banderlog can kill residents at any moment.

[rocket757]

Political "games" around the bush.
To talk / reason on this topic .... we do not decide anything, but who can decide, go and understand what they are not thinking about, not deciding ???

[zenion]

And Ukraine can again come to an agreement with the Tatars and Turks and hit through the anus. Captured from Ukrainian villages will again be sold in Turkestan and thus there will be no debts. And they will rest, as is always customary, beyond the Danube.
