Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that US private military companies located in the Donetsk region are preparing a provocation with chemicals in eastern Ukraine.

“Tanks with unidentified chemical components have been delivered to the cities of Avdiivka and Krasny Liman to commit provocations,” he said at an expanded meeting of the Defense Ministry board with the participation of President Vladimir Putin.

American approach It works - don't touch works like clockwork.

If something worked once, it is used further.

If a provocation with chemicals once succeeded, for example, in Syria, and it worked, then why not repeat the same thing in Ukraine.

Moreover, American biological laboratories all over Ukraine are stuck like mushrooms after rain, which means that you don't have to go far to get the necessary toxic chemicals, everything is close at hand.

This is where all the American arrogance lies, all the Western civilizational racism described by John Hobson, which is the essence of the West and will not go anywhere: we, the West, are civilization, those who want to become like us are barbarians, and those who do not want to be savages ... For Western strategists, politicians and political strategists, both the Arabs of Syria and the Ukrainians, split off from Russia, are natives.

Although the status of Ukrainians in the Western hierarchy is, of course, higher (let that console Svidomo). They are barbarians, that is, they at least strive to become the West, while the Arabs who insist on preserving their identity, culture and value system are savages. However, this does not change the essence of the approaches from the West: both are prescribed the same thing - provocations with the use of toxic chemicals. And how many of these same savages and barbarians in the end will fall - does not matter. Nobody even counts them.

Actually, provocation is one of the favorite methods of the West to start a war with Russia to the last Ukrainian patriot. Precisely a nationalist patriot, because the rest, including the Armed Forces of Ukraine, are not eager to fight with Russia. And radical nationalists are not needed by anyone - neither the current Ukrainian government, nor the one that will replace it. Therefore, here too, everything is extremely, in the Western rationale - to carry out sabotage, provoking Russia to enter Ukraine, starting an anti-Russian information campaign under this pretext, increasing sanctions, and even neutralizing a significant part of Ukrainian nationalists who got everyone.

However, not everyone supports the scenario of a war with Russia, even in the West.

Strongly against the war in Europe, especially in Germany.

The radicals of Poland and Hungary are ready to fight a little.

But they will fight only for their fragments of Ukraine and only in order to regain them for themselves.

While the "heroes" will be boiled in the boilers of Donbass and in the south-east of the former Ukraine in general, they will "under the guise" squeeze out those spaces where the rights of their fellow tribesmen - Poles, Hungarians, Romanians - are being infringed, terrorizing by forced Ukrainization.

An ambiguous attitude towards the war with Russia, however, is also among the American elites.

Actually, only the neocons want war.

It is they - their representatives in power - who send American PMCs to Ukraine and bring up chemical weapons for provocation, as indicated by the Russian Minister of Defense.

Joe Biden himself, like his administration, does not want any war - neither in Afghanistan nor in Ukraine.

He is old for the war.

And it’s not the best time to anger Russia.

You see, the Russian peacekeeping operation in Ukraine will be supported by China, and Russia, in response, will fully support China's efforts to return Taiwan.

And then what to do?

To fight with Russia and China at the same time?

Joe Biden thinks so, and these sad thoughts prevent him from concentrating.

That is why he constantly confuses names, names of countries and has already named Kamala Harris President twice.

They do not want war in Ukraine either.

But it is precisely the wars, and it is the ordinary citizens of Ukraine that are the majority, not the Ukrainian minorities.

Of course, everyone there, too, is tired of the mess and anarchy, not only the Russian and Little Russian majority, but even the radicals themselves, but the war ...

The last instance that wants war is Russia.

It was Russia and the Russian president who personally did everything to resolve the Ukrainian crisis without a war.

But over the past eight years since the "Maidan", all the red lines have long been crossed, and more than once in both directions.

Country UA is decayed and almost finished off.

There is not even a national leader who would rally everyone and call somewhere.

Volodymyr Zelensky, who is the President of Ukraine, is simply frankly laughed at (as, indeed, always).

No one holds him for real power, not even his own entourage.

How to fight in such conditions?

Who will call the nation to war, who will lead the Ukrainian national unity and be the first to go into battle, dragging along the Ukrainian army against the "sworn Muscovites"?

Zelensky?

Even Ukrainians are not funny here.

We need a new leader / leaders, but where to get him / them from and how he / they will get power, after all, Zelensky is still sitting and sitting?

Military coup, "Maidan"?

Also an option.

War will justify everything, and besides, it's no stranger to it.

But who at this time will solve the issues of heating, power outages, corruption (this, however, is already superfluous), who will stop the tariff genocide and the experiments of Western pharmaceutical companies on ordinary Ukrainians?

Nobody has canceled Covid either.

American PMCs will arrange a provocation, no doubt about it.

But they themselves will not climb into the "cauldrons" and die for Ukraine, as well as for the barbarians, from their point of view, inhabiting it, they did not hire.

They made a provocation, shouted "Glory to Ukraine!"

in broken American, and, having received a fee, - in Miami, to the sea, under the palm trees.

And to die in the mud and cold, leaving their wives and mothers in unheated apartments - let those who in response shout "Glory to the heroes!"

The rest won't.

There are no bad ones.

Under the most favorable conditions for Ukraine - and this is fast and complete mobilization, quick and effective deployment in combat positions, quick training, trouble-free operation of equipment, coordinated and effective command of Ukrainian formations - the capture of Odessa by Russian troops will take from five days to a week.

Kiev - ten days ...

Of course, it would be better to dispense with provocations, calling on Russian peacekeepers to come and stop the Ukrainian bacchanalia, which has lasted not even from the time of the "Maidan", but from the very moment of the collapse.

Zelensky, of course, will not call, he is joking.

But there are also responsible regional leaders who are not up to jokes, there are business representatives, there are ordinary citizens of Ukraine, and finally, who, according to the Constitution, are the main source of power.

There is almost no time to think.

CIA officers have already developed plans, and specialists from American PMCs have already arrived at the site for execution.

The countdown of Ukraine has been launched, the result is predictable, the consequences are inevitable, the question is - at what cost?

After all, the provocateurs from PMCs will not have to die.
