“THE IMPENDING WINTER”
How will the arrival of
winter impact the combat zone and also the whole of Europe?
By Sidney Hey
No matter how strong the
will of your men and the sophistication of the machinery that supports them, if
the weather is unbearable it will undoubtedly hamper operations. Napoleon and
his men learned this the hard way, Hitler and his mighty Panzer brigades
learned it the hard way, the Anglo-Americans learned it in Iraq in both 1991
and 2003, and the NATO-paid mercenaries in Ukraine will soon learn it the hard
way.
But these are only the
immediate consequences of a conflict that should be resolved in negotiations
without NATO interference. The consequences that are not yet visible but that
will soon become impossible to hide are those suffered by the inhabitants of
the EU who, because of the obsession of their rulers, who have surrendered to
the designs of Washington, are condemned to suffer from a shortage of
electricity and gas due to rationing that only their grandparents knew in the
times of the Second Great War.
Scholz and Macron seem
to be unaware of the deterioration their countries are suffering and that since
the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines they have accelerated the crisis of
their industries, affecting their economies and the standard of living of their
inhabitants. The same is true of the current British government of former
banker Rishi Sunak, which is following in the footsteps of its predecessors,
leaving no doubt about the continuity of its actions against Russia. The Royal
Navy's troubled naval activities in the North Sea are proof of this and will
once again be the subject of a parliamentary enquiry into how the Ministry of
Defence spends on maintaining its fleet.
It is easy for Joe
Biden to say that there is no chance of negotiating with Russia, making it
clear that in addition to not wanting to confront Putin, he is willing to
sacrifice the Europeans in pursuit of his geopolitical goals. For the "old
man" and his European minions, the war is unfair to Russia, but for them
it must not stop. But how is the war going? The latest developments are not
good. The president of the European Commission Ursula Von Der Leyen made a
terrible mistake in the information strategy by acknowledging in a video that
the Ukrainian army had lost about 100,000 soldiers, i.e. acknowledging that the
Ukrainian Armed Forces are completely destroyed.
Although the video was
immediately taken down from the networks and uploaded again, edited to hide
this part, it had already been heard by a large part of the members of the
European Union and, of course, by the Ukrainian people themselves. Equally,
editing a video is not going to change the reality on the ground, which is that
the Ukrainian remnants and the Western mercenaries supporting the operations
will soon have to face another implacable enemy, winter.
War is a dirty and
dangerous business in itself, but under adverse weather conditions it can make
it unbearable for even the most mentally prepared (or Captagon-drugged) men. It
is estimated that few regular Ukrainian army troops are in combat, with most of
those in uniform moving on the ground being mercenaries trained and paid by the
CIA and special forces teams from NATO countries.
Considering the
mercenary and specialised assassin component of the current fighting force,
more prepared to operate through dirty tactics and behind-the-lines terrorism
than to fight head-on like a regular army, when bogged down in muddy, icy
trenches there are likely to be nasty incidents among themselves, as they may
be skilled at hybrid warfare, killing civilians to create false scenarios or
cold-blooded prisoners, but ill-equipped and ill-disciplined to withstand such
limitations on the ground.
At the same time,
Western politicians behind their expensive and plush armchairs pushing this war
are demonstrating that they have no interest in stopping it. Both Joe Biden and
his EU minions with Von Der Leyen and Josep Borrell at the helm know that in
seeking to include Ukraine in NATO membership, they are threatening Russia's
security, but they are not interested. The Ukrainians in particular, but all
the peoples of Eastern Europe are the flak jacket of the Anglo-Saxons who want
to continue NATO enlargement at the cost of their blood. Even this can be seen
by just taking a map and looking at how NATO has been deployed for the last
twenty-six years, so that a child can realise who is threatening whom.
In view of this, the
pretense of making the public believe that the European Union, inventing a
neutrality it never had (because of its subordination to Washington), would
push for a Court of Justice to try the Russian president and all his officials
for the crimes committed in Ukraine, can only be a black joke that only
Atlanticists can laugh at.
It is quite clear that
this is not a crusade of the "democracies" against the
"autocracies" as the Western media claim; this is a battle between
Western Globalism (US, EU and Britain) against the Multilateralism founded by
Venezuelan president Hugo César Chávez, which Russia has been promoting
together with China and other partners ever since.
For the time being,
NATO mercenaries will feel the rigours of winter with the addition of the
constant pounding on their heads by Russian forces, but all European citizens
(including those closest to Washington) will also feel the consequences. After
enduring energy rationing, rising prices and utility taxes due to the cut-off
of Russian gas supplies and extortive measures by the US, with winter on their
doorstep it is very likely that they will have to sharpen their axes to go
chopping in the forests and parks to heat their homes.
