But what if the present Western leaders refuse to back down? Perhaps they have lost all sense of self-preservation? Then we will have to hit a group of targets in a number of countries to bring those who have lost their senses back to their senses.
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I do not have room to post thee entire analysis of Russian strategist, Sergey Karaganov, due to it's depth and long analysis, but the main point is, the Russian mind is coming to the conclusion that they can not afford a protracted cartel bleeding of Russian resources, as they were promised. Russia was promised that America and the West would be subdued in several years. That is why Moscow has been patient. The reality is though, the Russians are thinking, and analyzing this correctly. They can not fight in Ukraine for more years, and leave a hostile Ashkejew Nazi terror state on their border which will be another platform to terrorize Russia from.
What the Lame Cherry termed LONG BALL in a nuclear defensive strike is exactly what Karaganov is concluding must be established, because Russia believes it can strike and cause a minimal amount of possibilities that it will be struck with a full nuclear strike.
Honestly, somewhere in the Kremlin's order of battle is a date and if Russia does not conclude on that date, that it can remain secure. Russia will launch this nuclear counter offensive. The surest pressure relief now, which would goad the cartel would be an economic impact in America, an Obama 2008 AD in the year of our Lord, crash along with a crippling terror event inside America, to convince Russia that patience is where they will put their trust. If the cartel does not provide Moscow and Peking with this assurance, then Russia will produce a selective list of strikes in the leading NATO nations.
Meet you on the other side.
And here I come to the most difficult part of this article. We can keep fighting for another year or two, or even three, sacrificing thousands and thousands of our best men and grinding up hundreds of thousands more who are unfortunate enough to fall into the tragic historical trap of what is now called Ukraine. But this military operation cannot end in a decisive victory without forcing the West into a strategic retreat or even capitulation. We must force the West to abandon its attempts to turn back history, to abandon its attempts at global domination, and to force it to deal with its own problems, to manage its current multifaceted crisis. To put it crudely, it is necessary for the West to simply “piss off” and end its interference in the direction of Russia and the rest of the world.
However, for this to happen, Western elites need to rediscover their own lost sense of self-preservation by understanding that attempts to wear down Russia by playing the Ukrainians against it are counterproductive for the West itself.
The credibility of nuclear deterrence must be restored by lowering the unacceptably high threshold for the use of atomic weapons and by moving cautiously but quickly up the ladder of deterrence-escalation. The first steps have already been taken through statements to this effect by the president and other leaders, by beginning to deploy nuclear weapons and their delivery vehicles in Belarus, and by increasing the combat effectiveness of the strategic deterrent forces. There are quite a few steps on this ladder. I count about two dozen. It could even go as far as warning our compatriots and all people of good will about the need to leave their homes near the objects of possible nuclear strikes in countries directly supporting the Kiev regime. The enemy must know that we are ready to launch a preemptive retaliatory strike in response to its current and past aggression in order to prevent a slide into a global thermonuclear war.
I have often said and written that with the right strategy of deterrence and even use, the risk of a ‘retaliatory’ nuclear or other strike on our territory can be minimized. Only if there is a madman in the White House who also hates his own country will the US decide to strike in ‘defense’ of the Europeans and invite retaliation by sacrificing a hypothetical Boston for a notional Poznan. The Americans and the Western Europeans are well aware of this, they just prefer not to think about it. We, too, have contributed to this recklessness with our peace-loving pronouncements. Having studied the history of US nuclear strategy, I know that after the USSR acquired a credible nuclear retaliatory capability, Washington never seriously considered using nuclear weapons on Soviet territory, even though it publicly bluffed. When nuclear weapons were considered, it was only against “advancing” Soviet forces in Western Europe. I know that the late Chancellors Helmut Kohl and Helmut Schmidt fled from their bunkers as soon as the question of such use came up in an exercise.
This Kissinger of Russia is correct in assessment and conclusion. This blog still believes that the preparatory by Dmitry Medvedev in focusing on London is the key. Russia when it strikes, should obliterate England, reduce the state of Kiev to the stone ages, and pop off the commonwealth problems of Ottawa and Sydney which would feed a Churchill type long distance terror war against Russia, and eliminating Five Eyes, reduce the international bridge of American advance positions against Eurasia.
Russia will still have to deal with clean American super weapons, but that is why Russia pre positions dirty weapons, and has them in reserve, waiting for attrition to wear out Star Wars. But once the atomic poison is something which has to be dealt with by the sponsors of Kiev, a semblance of survival will reappear, which for Moscow produces what it's strategy is designed, in survival and peace.
The Russians have analyzed this correctly. They are processing the due date to deliver these strategic hits. Note that Karaganov has Boston on his mind. The Russian heirarchy has just informed you of something in their progression of targets. They are not thinking conservative Texas.
