Why the SMO?

Russia’s Special Military Operation (SMO) has been going on now for close to 3 years, with an end in sight.

The ukrop army is experiencing a shortage of everything, and its front is crumbling. Desertions are chronic, and the conscription drive is not going well. Whatever the feelings of the average khokhol are, it seems that most are exhausted by this war that they have been pushed into by the US, EU ,NATO, and their own stupidity.

Almost 3 years in, we can now see why the Special Military Operation was started.

Let’s look at the main reasons:

1. In February of 2014, the maidan revolt in kiev resulted in the overthrow of a democratically elected government and the usurpation of power by nationalist ukrainian fanatics who declared Russians are enemy number one, and must be exterminated. Even before the first shot against ukrop authorities was fired in Donbass, the ukrop fanatics were calling for death of Russians.

It was this threat to ethnic Russians, which would have resulted in ethnic cleansing and repression, that was one of the most important reasons why Russia started the SMO in 2022.

The ukrop army, trained and equipped by US and NATO, was poised to embark on a final military campaign in E. Ukraine that would have caused a humanitarian catastrophe, the likes of one we see today in Gaza at the hands of the vile zionist regime.

This would be followed by a massive exodus of ethnic Russians from E. Ukraine into Russia. The ukrop authorities plan was to rid the Donbass of Russians and repopulate it with western ukrainian banderite rabble and turn the country over to NATO.

It is right before this happened, that Donetsk and Lugansk declared independence and decided to rejoin Russia, and Russia started the SMO to protect and drive back the banderites.

2. In 2015, post-maidan coup ukraine decalred an end to military and strategic neutrality and announced its intention of joining NATO and the EU. NATO military trainers and weapons flowed into ukraine. It was clear that the ukrops were being prepared for something.

Couple this with the total disregard for the Minsk peace process by the US and the EU, and the constant threats by morons in the west about defeating Russia strategically and breaking it up, and NATO´s rejection of Russian security demands presented in late 2021, and Putin deduced what the future would be like. He realized that if he does nothing, that ukraine will be further militarized, emboldened, and serve as a bulwark against Russia, possibly armed with US ICBMS capable of striking into Russia, then invited to join NATO after it was bristling with weapons and foreign bases.

Allowing this situation to develop would lead to a strategic threat emanating from ukraine. It would be akin to Russia arming Mexico, training its army, and stationing medium-range ICBMs there, threatening the US mainland.

The SMO was started to blunt and eliminate this threat, and this has been pretty much accomplished.

3. The failures of western military training and weaponry are numerous, and have caused disillusionment among even once-fervent believers in US military power.

Much hyped western tanks, armored vehicles, air defense systems, and other weapons have been countered and destroyed in numerous numbers by Russians. Everything that the west threw at Russia has been neutralized in some way.

This has led to US and NATO´ humiliation, as well as fear of Russia´s military power, and loss of confidence in US and NATO ability to fight and defeat Russia.

This outcome was also one of the aims of the SMO, to expose and whittle away US and NATO military power, and show their skills at war-fighting as inadequate and hollow. This has been achieved.

4. Up until February 2022, Russia was dependent on western economic and financial institutions, a fact that tied its hands considerably.

After the western sanctions were piled up on Russia, it had to get creative and work overtime to blunt the effects in all sorts fo ways.

This led Russia to establishing new partnerships and associations with other nations, and to the creation fo alternate platforms for managing its economy and finances.

This freed Russia from the pernicious influence of western banks, institutions, questionable standards, and gave Russia freedom to carry out its own economic, political and social policies without hindrance from Washington and Brussels.

Russia has achieved economic freedom for itself during the SMO, and is better for it.

The SMO has become for Russia a bitter medicine, but one that it had to take to cure itself of the many ills that have been imposed on it from the outside, but also from certain internal ones, for the last three decades.

The result today is that the Russian economy has jumped to the #4 spot, and Russian military today is the best-equipped, trained, and prepared in the world. All the anti-Russian stereotypes and myths have been squashed on the fields of ukraine, as have the myths of US and NATO military power.

In Afghanistan, NATO suffered an embarrassment. In ukraine, NATO has been significantly crippled. The next country NATO moves against, it will collapse.

There isn’t much of anything left of this criminal organization.
