The myth of the Ukrainian offensive

The myth of the Ukrainian offensive


New old fears of the West


There are more and more commentators trying to understand the outcome of the special operation every day. In the West and in Ukraine, these can be divided into two large camps - official and unofficial propagandists.



The first in office and skillfully swing their saber in the air. For example, the Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Gavrilov assures that the Russian army will “be in a panic” after the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. At the same time, the leading role in the army is given not even to NATO technology, but to a certain fighting spirit of young and zealous nationalists. Despite peppy rhetoric, Gavrilov complains about the acute shortage of fighters at the front. The Armed Forces of Ukraine really want to shoot down the Russian missile carriers Tu-22 and T-95 - the air defense delivered does not cope with its tasks of destroying missiles and drones-kamikaze.

You can understand the Ukrainian military, but the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine need to clearly understand one thing - the West will not be able to allow Russia to be defeated in a special operation. Most likely, Gavrilov, Zaluzhny, and Zelensky understand this very well, but they are forced to speak a little differently on camera.

The second type of propagandists is assembled mainly from retired officials and military leaders. The statements of such characters are usually not obscured by the requirement of officialdom, but sometimes it is difficult to figure out what is more in them - the desire to become famous in the civilian world, or really convey the truth to the audience. However, one cannot pass by such statements - the authors can intuitively broadcast the agenda in the camp of the enemy.

And sometimes real sentiments in the highest echelons of power are transmitted through retired persons. In particular, for probing the reaction. For example, the former commander of the US Army in Europe, Ben Hodges, recently distinguished himself, by the way, a typical anti-Russian hawk. He directly accused the Pentagon of insufficient assistance to Kyiv and the unwillingness of a decisive victory for Ukraine.

This should not be surprising - the concept of a "smoldering conflict", into which NATO is dosed with firewood, has not been canceled. But if earlier the imaginary exhaustion of Russia, including the consumption of people's trust in the highest power, was at the forefront, now the rhetoric has changed. Now only a complete pro-Western optimist will talk about the depletion of the country's resources in the foreseeable future. At the same time, no one can clearly explain the months-long trampling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the spot.

Let's try to distract from the emotional background of what is happening and look at the situation from the outside.

All the key powers of the West support Ukraine in one way or another - some with money, some weapons, and who and just a kind word. The combined power of suppliers and sponsors of the Kyiv regime many times exceeds all Russian resources.


The fifteenth month of the special operation is underway, but critical weapons systems either did not appear in Ukraine at all, or were supplied in insufficient quantities. At the same time, NATO countries hide behind hypocritical statements that they cannot undermine their own defense capability to please Kyiv.

Lies from the first to the last letter - only F-16 fighters in the United States built more than 4,5 thousand. Can't they chip in and hand over a couple of hundred planes to Ukraine? Similar story с tanks - At least one thousand vehicles can be transferred to Ukraine without prejudice to NATO defense. And the issue of ammunition can be solved. With whom does the collective West now intend to fight by conventional means - is it really with Russia?

You can talk a lot and colorfully about the notorious "red lines", but the fact remains that the West, for a year and a half of the special operation, did not dare to directly intervene in the conflict. And this is really an extreme line that Western bosses will never cross.

The supply of weapons to the Kyiv regime is an undoubted evil for Russia, but it has never led to a large-scale conflict between nuclear powers. The Americans supplied the Afghan Mujahideen with a wide range of weapons, far from being defensive, but the USSR did not even break off diplomatic relations with the United States. Now the scale of the conflict in Ukraine cannot be compared with the Afghan war, but there are not so many fundamental differences.

Faithful friends of Russia


All of the above confirms the words of Philip Breedlove, a former high-ranking military officer who once commanded NATO Joint Forces in Europe. Unlike hotheads in the civil service, who demand an unconditional victory over Russia, he is skeptical. On the air of the ABC TV channel, he pointed out the main thing that the collective West fears is Russian nuclear weapons. It is for this reason that import aid to Ukraine is insufficient. An elegant leap from the topic of maintaining a "smoldering conflict", you can't say anything.

At the same time, Secretary of State Blinken's parallel statements about enough deliveries to Ukraine for an offensive sound both comical and tragic.


Philip Breedlove

Zelensky retorts in response that the Ukrainian Armed Forces “need more time” to launch an offensive. More for what? So much equipment has been delivered that they cannot figure it out, or are they waiting for the Russian army to erect even more fortifications on the line of contact?

The answer is simple - the West is frankly afraid of Ukraine's success on the battlefield. Now the breakthrough of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to Melitopol, and even more so to the Crimea, will be perceived by the Kremlin as the beginning of a strategic defeat with an unpredictable escalation. The ban on NATO strikes on Russian territory is being considered in the same vein. Leaders from hostile states know how to listen and hear, especially when the president of a nuclear power says the following:

“The Russian response will be immediate and will lead you to consequences that you have never experienced in your history. We are ready for any development of events. I hope that I will be heard."

This was said by President Putin, warning third countries against direct interference in the course of the special operation.


Based on the opinion of retired NATO General Breedlove, a very unusual picture emerges.

On the one hand, Ukraine is actually deprived of its military-industrial potential under Russian strikes. This is not about handicrafts collected in garages (the nationalists have a clear progress here), but about equipment that can influence the situation on the fronts - tanks, armored vehicles, artillery and small arms. Ukraine is not able to provide its army with uniforms, medicine and quality provisions.

Russia handed over the Kiev regime into the hands of the West with its own hands - it is not surprising that now the Kremlin is ready to talk seriously only with Washington. At the same time, in Ukraine itself, a peaceful secular life has been miraculously preserved - they entertain in clubs, feed in cafes, and show in cinemas. For a simple Ukrainian, Russia, as best it could, did not complicate life with the start of a special operation. Unless, of course, this Ukrainian did not take up arms.

On the other hand, Russia has retained its military-industrial potential and increased the production of certain weapons many times over. Simply because there are no military operations on the territory of the country and rockets do not fall on the conditional Uralvagonzavod. How bombs fell on the Kharkov locomotive building at the beginning of the Great Patriotic War.

Some commentators are comparing the potentials of the NATO countries and Russia - they say, the advantage is on the side of Brussels and Washington. And multiple. Another part of the "experts" points to the Great Patriotic War, where the Soviet Union received a generous lend-lease. The idea is that Russia is now unlikely to last without a second Lend-Lease. At least from China. In 1941-1942, the country lost almost half of its industry in the west, and the second was forced to transfer to the Urals, the Volga region, and sometimes much further. And the help of Lend-Lease in this situation was completely irrelevant. Respected experts completely forget about this.

The guarantor of the continuation of events in the modern format remains Russian nuclear weapons, which were feared, feared and will be feared in the West. There is no certainty that Zelensky is afraid of him - he doesn’t give a damn about his people for a long time, but the sponsors of the regime are shaking. Faithful friends of Russia warheads appeared here in all their glory. Western leaders found themselves in a military-political impasse.

By the way, they painstakingly nurtured it with their own hands over the past decades. The West simply does not have the experience of such a broad confrontation with a nuclear power. Hence the impossibility of transferring real hostilities to the territory of Russia.

Hence the upcoming Ukrainian offensive, which is turning into a big military myth.

By the end of the year, Western thinkers are hoping for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and everything goes to the fact that they will take place without the rush of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the east

    thinkers of the West hope for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and everything goes to the fact that they will take place already without a jerk of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the east

    And why should the "Thinkers" of the West yearn for a cessation of hostilities? In economic terms, everything is fine with them, business is spinning, slowly reaching a pre-covid level. In the political and public, it is simply gorgeous - there is an aggressor country, against which everyone cheerfully began to make friends, though not immediately, but now friendship is growing stronger every day. In the military, it's clear. Junk to Ukraine, new to build.
    Again, a sweetly soothing article.

      Yes, the author’s theses are controversial and do not stand up to criticism ... I have long ceased to predict something in this NWO ... it still does not fit into any conflict from the history of Russia and the USSR .. neither standing on the Ugra, nor the Finnish War of 1939-40 year, neither the Second World War, nor the Afghan war ... in general, something new ... it is still difficult to say for certain how further events will develop further ... there are too many X's and variables in the equation of this historical fact. request
      Yesterday, I was greatly amused by the reaction of the members of the forum to Poddubny's stuffing and the work of the CIPSO regarding the Ukrainian offensive ... now you should not draw hasty conclusions about the actions of our enemy ... everyone voluntarily or involuntarily lies.

        Why did the author take that the West is afraid of the defeat of Russia? The West Needs the Defeat of Russia. Bleeding from the nose. This is the only way to weaken us and, if possible, destroy us. Breedlove's statement is taken out of context. we will never use this weapon in Ukraine. Firstly, these are our territories and our citizens. Secondly, after that, in reality, we will find ourselves in complete isolation. And this is defeat

            But in full? There was no total hatred for the USSR (after all, workers’ uprisings broke out in Europe), + both the USA and Europe had problems, which gave the USSR a chance to buy or take the people and technologies of the West for its own development.
            Now such a chance is unlikely - there is no such crisis abroad, and most likely no one will give technology, and independent development can take a long time

          Yes, no one needs the destruction of Russia. The EU needs Russia in terms of resources, the US needs it as a sword against China.
          Ukraine is an American sword against Russia and the EU, the meaning of which is to cut off the EU from the Russian Federation if something happens (partially already happened), because the main gas and oil flows pass through Ukraine. Also, the overland trade route from China to Europe passes through Ukraine. And by military means through Ukraine to put pressure on Russia to sign against China.

                Imagine customs at the borders of all our regions wassat Horror. Let's continue modeling. In addition, in one area there is a sane government, and in another, an insane one, struck by localism, and the prince is sitting there. the third area is just bandits, and the fourth sends everyone away. sad As a result, the creation of a single economic zone like the European Union will suggest itself. And it has been created for decades, although the ideas have been around since the 19th century. What do we end up with? Crushing Russia into pieces is not beneficial to anyone. ps The Bolsheviks did not simply collect the ruins of the empire into a single state again at the whim of the proletariat. This was both economic and political expediency.

                    PS An example from our history. In the 90s, we observed cases when one agricultural region, by order of the governor, set up posts at the exits to prohibit the export of its crop of grain and potatoes (due to a poor harvest), so that its population would not be left without bread and potatoes. For some reason, the neighbors have an unmeasured amount of money and they were able to buy everything. Why are these not the first signs of customs? And Rossel with his "currency"?

          We need the Defeat of Russia. Blood from the nose.

          There is one more question here - will great China allow Russia to lose? Will he be forced to intervene? For our defeat is the inevitable coming to power of our direct henchmen of the United States. And why does China need it - such a gift along the entire northern border?

          In addition, it is not a fact that the population of the Russian Federation will calmly look at Western occupation. I think - a significant part will still actively resist. But does someone need it - a mess and unrest on the territory of a leading nuclear power?

For some reason, this rather simple idea has also been completely forgotten, and this is probably the main result of recent changes in the world, that the center of the world order has shifted concretely, the US-Europe bloc is bursting at the seams, if not collapsed, but the center is in the form of China - Russia is clearly being formed, of course, the countries have different interests, but they are forced to work in conjunction - against the United States, otherwise both will go wrong.

    And here I disagree with the author. They may be able to listen (they have ears), but they do not want to perceive what they hear correctly, or they are not taught. Therefore, many are firmly convinced that Russia will not go for the use of nuclear weapons, all its "red lines" are an empty phrase (they themselves gave a reason for this), which means we can do whatever we see fit. What they are currently doing.

    "The myth of the Ukrainian offensive"
    They at least have a "myth", but what about us?
    "critical weapons systems either did not appear in Ukraine at all, or were supplied in insufficient quantities."
    Well? What are we standing for, who are we waiting for? Our generals are not capable of advancing even without critical weapons! And what will happen when they are given to Ukraine? Already started! England handed over cruise missiles.
    "The West for a year and a half of the special operation"
    Yes, Putin, for 20 years he has not acquired his own "galoshes"! What would they fight now if not for the USSR?
    "True friends of Russia"
    Soon all of Central Asia will move to Moscow and Russia! For them, the government is doing "everything it can!" Russians to war, and this citizenship in an accelerated procedure!
    "Russia has retained its military-industrial potential and has increased the production of individual weapons many times over."
    They won't say it on TV. After they wrote and write here at VO about the destruction and bankruptcy of military enterprises, it is stupid to talk about "building up". There are not enough shells, and you are talking about some kind of "build-up"!
    "Ukrainian offensive that is turning into a big military myth."

      I am against the theory "it's okay that my cow died, it's bad that the neighbor's is alive"
      To be honest, I don’t care at all what will happen to them and everyone else, if it just doesn’t affect my country. But what they have, something collapsed, absolutely does not prevent the commissioning of new capacities, including production weapons for themselves and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And the HPP on the collapse of Europe by the method of "cooling to sub-zero temperatures without our gas" not only did not work, but quite the opposite. And a lot of things didn't work.
      So it's time for everyone who still hopes that "the neighbor's cow will die", roll up their sleeves and start working hard, so that "their own will remain alive"

    When there is nothing to write - scold the Anglo-Saxons? something like this.

    But in real life - such murderous "games" are always played by many players ..
    And if "but the fact remains - the West, for a year and a half of the special operation, did not dare to directly intervene in the conflict.", then Russia somehow does not bomb this West, but sells resources to it. Record, by the way, in the 22nd year.

    And you don't have to interfere.
    Did they interfere with the Soviet-Fnlian, Soviet-Polish, Soviet-Afghan? No. helped with weapons and instructors.
    Have we interfered in the Amer-Vietnamese, Amer-Korean, Amer-Syrian? No. helped with weapons and instructors.
    Then what is possible to fantasize? The State Department and so in winning. ALL of his statements about the need to strengthen NATO, the golden river in the military-industrial complex, about the deceit of the Russians and Putin, that the Kremlin promises one thing and does another, that it will send commoners to shoot, and sons will drive cars at night - here they come true.

    It's lovely. The only question is, how are things in the Strategic Missile Forces? And I think NATO asked it much earlier than me. If things are the same as in the "Khenshtab", military commissariats and in the navy, then in Brussels and Washington they will shake only with laughter.

    2 banks out of thousands is nothing, they will print more money (press the button)


    Banks, for your information, are different. There are commercial ones (yes, there are thousands of them), and there are investment ones - there are not so many of them, and a lot depends on them. And these banks are not some kind of shelupon, but with a turnover that exceeded the GDP of many countries (such as Ukraine).
    And about the fact that they will "just print it" - the executive director of the Fed does not demonstrate such optimism, quite the contrary. And she is clearly more in the subject than you.

    Last post by Prigogine. Tough, with military vocabulary, but fair.
    Prigozhin - Lukoshenko from the war.
    If he is not heard and the decision, for the report, only on paper, then we will have victory only on paper, for the report, to the general laughter of the whole World.

    But the fact that they have, something collapsed, absolutely does not prevent the commissioning of new capacities, including the production of weapons for themselves and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. And the HPP on the collapse of Europe by the method of "cooling to sub-zero temperatures without our gas" not only did not work, but quite the opposite. And a lot of things didn't work.
    So it's time for everyone who still hopes that "the neighbor's cow will die", roll up their sleeves and start working hard, so that "their own will remain alive"


    It interferes and the commissioning of capacities does not take place very quickly, since you have to buy shells for howitzers from Pakistan (!!!) for Ukroreich. Well, Pakistan is a really powerful industrial power, save the Western World! laughing
    And what about in Europe? The population gets high from the growth of well-being, what is growing right before our eyes? Therefore, the Parisians began to organize pogroms, like, are they raging with fat?
    HPP will work. Energy prices have gone up again. Yes, while the vaults are still full, but they are not bottomless. That's when we'll see.

    Well, start to work hard, who's stopping you? And the rest of the country is already working, some enterprises are already in three shifts.

      Yeah. At four. Last year, they wrote about an enterprise operating in three shifts where drones should be produced. But something seems to have gone wrong and the drones are still being transported by volunteers, but neither the government nor our catalistic generalissimo for some reason took care of this in a year. Although the people from the front line are shouting their own.

    The author is known for his patriotic position, and here we read patriotic mantras about Russian industry. There is no mention of our powerful army, only the strategic nuclear forces, which the West is afraid of, were remembered. But where does this super-patriot see hope for Russia? In the West! There will be no defeat for Russia, let alone a catastrophic one, because the West does not want this. What if he wants to? No, he will be afraid of our strategic nuclear forces. How many times have we declared that we will not use nuclear weapons? We use conventional weapons in Ukraine very carefully! And against the West! ... There will be no offensive in the south, because then a catastrophe will break out with access to the borders of Russia, and the West does not want this because it is afraid of our strategic nuclear forces. Those. our author has no hope for our wonderful army, even more wonderful government and absolutely wonderful president. Hope only for the West, that they won't kick us. Maybe they won’t, they feed the hopes of young men. Oh yes, Comrade Fedorov, oh yes .... surpassed Mr. Skomorokhov! He writes more about individual shortcomings in the assay tent, and then with a broad stroke of an oil painting: The West will help us! Maybe it will help, I would like to believe, but the question is: which Russia will the West help? We have Russia, excuse me, Putin, and he received a black mark from the West, it is logical that the West will finish off Putin's Russia. If Russia in general suffers at the same time, then the West will survive it. Putin too. Final conclusion: I share the author's pessimism, I smile at the author's optimism.

    Hence the upcoming Ukrainian offensive, which is turning into a big military myth.

    By the end of the year, Western thinkers are hoping for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, and everything goes to the fact that they will take place without the rush of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to the east
    While there is no particular reason for optimism ...

    Well, where do your volunteers get "lancets", "cubes", "geraniums"? Can you tell me the addresses of the outlets?
    And the "calibers" and "Iskanders", presumably, are also delivered by volunteers to the NVO zone? tongue

    The article is written long, but does not carry any common sense. The main thing is that the West will not hesitate to enter into a direct war against Russia. And then this and that on this topic. And it made me laugh a lot - the President said clearly and clearly ... The President said a lot of things. Ooooh a lot. There is a whole collection of his quotes, warnings and threats to the West on the Internet. And what? And nothing. Nothing from the word at all. Saying and doing are different things.
    About a thousand tanks and a hundred F-16s from Zapal, in the mouth of the author - once upon a time they did not dare to transfer artillery and air defense, they tried to transfer 4-6 pieces ... Now what and how much is sent to Ukraine ?! Hundreds. Previously, the UK, for the amusement of the Ukrainians, for a couple of shells that flew into the Krasnodar Territory - started a criminal case against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Moscow Region, and the same president promised heavenly punishments for this ... Now Ukrainian cruise missiles, shells and drones attack Russian cities and villages many times every day , infrastructure facilities and military bases. AND? The author has a couple to get out of the twilight of the propagandistic urapatriotic style of writing articles. They are all tired for a long time
