The month of May,
and the beginning of the Russian offensive in the Kharkov region, saw
the loss of 35,000 ukrop soldiers.
Add to that the Kiev
regime’s problems with its forced mobilization not going well, and
the failures are just too stark to hide.
So, right on que,
the US, EU and NATO have stepped in with a novel idea of ‘allowing’
Kiev to use foreign weapons provided to the ukrop army to hit
targets deep inside Russia, and that NATO advisors will be sent to
ukraine to help.
This public
announcement has been hyped up by the US, EU, and NATO as something
new that will turn the tide-as all their other failed game-changing
ideas were once touted.
Even some
pro-Russian commentators have been sensationalizing this so-called
announcement as some kind of a major escalation.
It is not.
The fact is that
ukrops have been using western weapons, as well as its own, to hit
targets inside pre-war Russia for pretty much two years now, and NATO
advisors have been sitting in Kiev since 2015.
The only difference
between now and then, is that now the west has stated all this
publicly, whereas before, this approval and assistance was done
quietly and not announced publicly.
But all this was
known to many people already.
And as before, this
‘new’ strategy will not change the situation on the battlefield.
NATO weaponry has
been used to strike Russian cities in pre-war Russia for some time.
As always, NATO
logic here is once again, flawed.
According to NATO we
are to believe that:
-Ukrop forces
weren’t allowed to strike Russian military forces and assets near
the Kharkov region on the Russian side in the past, as well as deeper
in pre-war Russia, while the whole time ukrops were striking civilian
targets in Belgorod, and even targets as far as Moscow region. And
NATO expected everyone not to notice this?
-Striking Russian
regions in pre-war Russia with long-range weapons is somehow not the
same as striking new Russian regions with long-range weapons?
There is no
distinction between pre-war, and new Russian territories, as NATO
would have us believe. If a long-range NATO missile is used to hit
Lughanks, Donetsk, Kursk, or Belgorod, it makes no difference, as
these are all Russian territories now.
As we can see, this
entire charade of approval of NATO member countries to
suddenly allow ukrops to use foreign weapons to strike deep inside
Russia, and sending some advisors, is a meaningless PR exercise
concocted out of sheer panic and desperation to cover up the massive
ukrop and NATO failures by creating an illusion of some new strategy
that will change the situation in the ukrops favor. It is also meant
to mollify the pro-ukrop, anti-Russian fanboys out there.
All that the US, EU,
and NATO did here was publicly announce something that was already
going on for years, and hasn’t worked.
And Russia will
continue to deal with this as it sees fit, and ukraine will just
suffer more massive losses.
So this announcement
is simply old wine in new bottles.
