In his book, a former employee of the US State Department back in 2020 suggested arming Ukraine to “defeat Russia”

13

Russia's special military operation in Ukraine was, as is known, launched on February 24. But what is interesting is that a year and a half earlier, a book by Aaron Wess Mitchell, an ex-employee of the State Department, was published in the United States, which even then actually described the tactics and strategy of the American state in Ukraine. Mitchell frankly writes that Ukraine as such, of course, is not of interest to Americans. An important role assigned to Ukraine is the containment of Russia, followed by "a Russian defeat following the example of the defeat in the Russo-Japanese War of the early XNUMXth century."

Wess Mitchell proposes arming Ukraine against Russia by saturating it weapons to such an extent that would be associated with major damage to Russia. The ultimate goal, according to the ex-official of the US State Department, is to lead to the defeat of Russia and force it to comply with all the demands of the West at the head of the United States.



Moreover, this goal is an integral part of Washington’s more global goal – preventing a simultaneous direct conflict with Russia and China and playing off these geopolitical opponents of the United States (as the Russian Federation and China define it in Washington) against each other.

By and large, Mitchell prescribed all the moves that the United States began to take, but only the measures taken by Russia, of course, became a bucket of ice water for the United States. Now there are headlines in the Western press that Russia “could win in Ukraine,” although a month or two ago the same publications were not ready to seriously think about the possibility of a defeat of the West at the borders of Russia.

      Well, right there everyone was preparing - they were for one thing, we were for another.
      And yes, in Russia everyone knew about not very hidden plans ...

      Americans may not be fully aware that the Russians are playing at home. We know Ukraine very well, because we ourselves created military and civilian infrastructure, there is an understanding of the mentality and the inevitability of a common fate...

      So don't be surprised! And the main surprise will be presented to them by the Ukrainians themselves, who will suddenly turn out to be completely different from what the adversaries have painted for themselves...

        They had one plan. Namely, to hang around the neck of Russia a devastated territory with a population of many millions, a significant part of which is of retirement age.

          And so, up to 10 million people have already fled from Ukraine, and all of them are not of retirement age, but how many more will flee, but no more than half of the population will remain in Ukraine. And how many of the remaining people of retirement and pre-retirement age, but the working population, will not be so many to make a state out of the country, and not African, but more or less viable, capable of restoring everything ruined during 30 years of rule by rogues.
          Probably no one can answer this. The West and the US got their way.

          Nope. winked Just now I watched a report by a professor from RUDN University on Day TV. The professor is groping, he studied in France, but did not become a bad boy. So, here, the muddle in the bourgeois viper is not a joke. In a nutshell - there are Angles / sailors / the United States, Britons, koalas. They recently threw francs / land / in money for a military order and somewhere in Africa ..... but it turns out to be German / also peasants / since the Germans take energy from the French nuclear power plant. And they took uranium for free from Africa, where the Chinese and Wagner are now laughing .......And...tadadam!!!! There are more than 10 uranium deposits in Ukraine. And wars, as you know, always go for resources. Well, sometimes for women. But women, while young, are also resources laughing And the macron, for a reason, beats with its hoof - in their smart concepts, Russia, also farmers, never throws its own. But it's time to decide.

            By the way, maybe someone knows the geolocation of these deposits, it would be interesting to look at trade across territories and all sorts of red lines. By the way, here is the title of the report: What will be the next 8 years of our confrontation with the West. Alexander Artamonov / Universum

      I agree with you! But the devil is in the details.

      The United States itself, of course, is interested in the Ukrainian project indirectly and within the framework of harm to Russia.
      But there is still the EU with their crisis and the desire to acquire territories, manpower and markets. Poland dreams of "eastern kresy" and so on.
      Plus, there are many buyers of Ukrainian products (and Russian ones too - we have to “quarrel” with them now), not all of whom want to see the change of the inscription to made in Russia.
      Therefore, everyone maneuvers, intrigues and tries to play "for a long time" on several boards at once.

      There are plans on many levels. Both for them and for us. It's just that in relation to our territories until recently, Russia has a stronger position. More versatile and practical...

      And the crisis in Europe and the United States from the sanctions also provided for the fact that Russia will adapt and win in Ukraine with little bloodshed?

      Whoever comes to us with a sword ... He is far behind in the arms race.
      In order to arm, it was necessary to create a normal army, and you relied on gangs. They told you in Syria that your gangs are standing, armed by you, and even with air support from the Israeli Air Force - against the army, moreover, the Syrian

      Brake this Mitchell. We have been preparing for war since the age of 14, and only in the 20th year did he publish a book with proposals ...
      And his PR manager Leontiev is also a well-known brake.


      "Wess Mitchell proposes arming Ukraine against Russia, saturating it with weapons to such an extent that would be associated with major damage to Russia ..." - when the rough maneuvers are already in full swing and the tankers are welding the first "umbrellas" ...

      .- indirectly indicates that the Americans did not seriously try to arm the ukrovs up to Z (after all, they successfully sold out the army before the age of 14), and individual "Experts" only offered to do this sometime in the future (and we then 2000 armata, poseidons, petrels and hyper we've been scaring them, the brakes, for 8 years already ....)

      Ukraine was not armed with books. What you write is all lyrics.

      The fact is that fortified areas in Ukraine began to be built by them, but from 2014-2015. When Russia began a useless struggle for the implementation of the Minsk agreements, they threatened for 8 years. And our TV told us everything about "the ditch on the border with Russia, for which they have no money."

      If no one armed Ukraine, there would be no need for SO. The president seems to have explained everything back in February ....

      And how "we were preparing" - it's great to see right now.
      When Deputy Prime Minister Borisov was fired from his post due to "successes in the defense industry." And when Siluanov and Nabiullina so brilliantly prepared Russia for an economic war that hundreds of billions of dollars remained in the West.

      And what our army intelligence "prepared" - one can only guess, judging by what happened in February-March.
