After a month since the conflict started a lot of what’s reported makes increasingly less sense. Russia has undoubtedly large military might and as suppliers to Ukraine will know what they have officially and unofficially too. Are there large strategic weapons from the cold war era that are located within the borders of Ukraine possibly kept from the west “in reserve”.
Here in the West, we are guilty of prejudice and discrimination against “Russia” being that we still consider Russia to mean cold war era Soviet USSR to which we always just called “Russia”. So we still treat them with the same fear, distrust and distain as we did in the past due to our knowledge which was all American biased. Of course we in the west don’t get news from Russia ever nor speak the language or comprehend the culture, so whatever the news says is what we believe no matter what. Despite the governments of the west constantly lying to the public, we see much with covid information being proven fake within months and ”support” for sufferers of covid and disasters taking time to word and create policies and laws to force people into debt or worse in exchange for support. I weep for any refugees thinking Australia is a good safe destination for them as their lives will be ruined forever. The Australian government has been Grooming students to come to Australia where they find they are not free to travel as they’d like or access service or support that the Departments claim is available. The same lying politicians are still spreading and amplifying the col war “facts” about present day Russia. Not just diplomatically does this impact on the world stage. not a single indication anyone considers that Russia was telling the truth about the situation and Ukraine are the bad guys here. No facts are being presented. Normally where there are wars or conflicts there are teams of journalists on the ground showing live the situation presenting the facts as they witness them. But here we are seeing low-resolution webcam images where nothing identifiable can be seen nor can when, where or what is happening and certainly not why. A month in and things just don’t add up. reports have gone from bein framed as certain facts though nothing presented to back that up to now they are talking more about things being unconfirmed, the uncertainty of the truth is finally being seen in reports. Russia absolutely has the military might to dominate or destroy the Ukrain yet its not happening.
They aren’t really using aircraft despite having the skills and equipment to rival every air force on the planet. The only thing they have really achieve decisively was to secure the Chernobyl power plant and that is a sensible course of action to protect all of europe from Ukranians using it as a giant dirty bomb which it is. The power plant remains are as hermetically sealed as possible, its NOT hardened against any form of attack and on small “accidental” attack can see tons of radioactive dust launched into the sky to poison europe and possibly the world. Ukraine of course has always had easy access to Russian military equipment so they can easily launch a stray missile and blame it on Russia. So it may transpire in the long run that Russia is actually protecting the world right now and there’s no point trying to explain it when no country has ever been prepared to treat Russia as good guys ever even if they are. You can bet America will threaten the use of nuclear weapons in a similar situation. Maybe Russia has no evidence to present that the world will believe at this point, so they have to stay their course of keeping insurgents from getting in range of Chernobyl to use their weapons
Go watch Wag The Dog.
I think it’ll e decades before the truth of whats going on comes out its clear the western governments are tainting the information being give to the worlds public. and they are all deparate to position themselves to profit directly from higher fuel prices which are often percentage taxed for profit and hoping to put on a friendly supportive front to acquire political IOUs. This puts things in a dangerous position if the west is forced to support the bad guys to keep the current narrative viable in line with whatever the US and UK wants.
Be honest with yourself, have you ever lived in Ukraine? have you even ever met anyone from there? Don’t forget the Ukraine is a young independent country that has long been a part of the communist grouping of countries and its government and people may have been under pressure the West doesn’t have and so the people have their own way of living which we wouldn’t find acceptable. Bribery has been the norm there and the population have gotten use to diverting funds for the public good to their own pockets and outright thefts of opportunity. Sounds like Putin right?. Don’t forget the Chernobyl disaster that happened in Ukraine, not Russia, yes the government in control was Moscow and the main staff involved were educated in Soviet Russia, but the builders, police, firefighters, suppliers etc were all Ukrainians. And of course, the guards to the area that took bribes to let people into the region also Ukrainian and the people who looted the city of Pripyat were all locals, that is Ukrainians. Because of these thieves, god knows how many people have and will die from radiation poisoning due to all the personal items looted and spread out into the country or further. Think again if you think Ukraine is the innocent utopia you think there are because of the way the current situation is being portrayed. The same culture of thefts and bribes and the large shared border today with Russia presents an opportunity for Ukraine to obtain Russian weapons not only during the Soviet era but since becoming independent. I don’t think there is any truth out there yet to pick a side and its worrying that picking a side is part of the Western agenda, could that be because the west want access to russian oil? maybe land to build bases to cover off Russia or China, never forget America cant exist with an enemy to fight, they never have and never can. Whether its real or not America always bullies others in the hope they strike first, Pearl Harbour, middle east and 9/11 were all done that way, They currently have China and north Korea (which the Americans created too) as potential warzones to declare if they cant insinuate themselves into fighting Russia. But yet again what if Russia are being good guys in this conflict? there is evidence of that as I mentioned but even so the west will have to perpetuate further lies to keep the story that Russia is bad, that’s a dangerous game as nuclear warfare and disaster is highly likely in that event.
