“NO STUPIDITY”
Why is the war in
Ukraine not a sightseeing tour?
By Sidney Hey
Many were quick to open
their big mouths and prejudge the capabilities of Russian troops and the
intensity they would face in the war with Ukraine. Only politicians and tabloid
journalists masquerading as intellectuals can support a war like the one that is
being waged today in Europe itself.
It is always important
to remember that the start of Special Operation Z (Victory) was made inevitable
by the plans of Kiev and its NATO partners to launch in March 2022 a massive
offensive on the Donbass which, besides causing a massacre against the
Russian-speaking Ukrainian population, would have hindered an intervention as
launched on 24 February of the same year.
It is Zelensky and his cohorts, working under the blatant directive of the Pentagon and with the unveiled support of NATO, who are mainly responsible for the disaster in Ukraine today and the risk of the war setting the whole EU on fire, so what will Joe Biden and his Pentagon generals do to alleviate all the pain that this would bring? Let's not forget the consequences of the Nord Stream pipeline explosions. Was this a blunder by the Navy Seals and the S.B.S.? The energy crisis is a reality and they have made Europeans dependent on expensive US LNG, victims of product shortages and price increases. Are they trying to make Europeans dependent on their food and drinking water as well?
Washington is doing fabulous business at the expense of the Europeans and the politicians have their mouths shut, surely with the banknotes printed by the Treasury Department.
The lies peddled by the
pathetic media propaganda of this side are not only unbelievable but also insulting.
When we were in Iraq our enemies had no waistcoats, no Kevlar helmets and
thanks to the arms boycott to supply them, they barely carried their AK-47 and
an RPG-7 shooter as the mainstay of their attack groups to ambush us. Their
ingenuity and persistence got the better of them and we saw that in the
Bradleys, the wrecked Abrams and the thousands of wounded who came home. We had
the firepower and political power to justify the unjustifiable. And despite
that, we couldn't bend their morale and even though it was like throwing a
duck, the bastards wouldn't give up.
Look at what is
happening in Ukraine today. While Washington, Brussels and London play blind
man's buffoonery and don't even bat an eyelid at the presence of task forces
operating on the ground with the Ukrainians, we have seen how several “Rambo”
have fallen as soon as they got off the truck or the BTR-4 that was
transporting them. Because the imbeciles thought they were dealing with
improvisers and amateurs; terrible mistake my friend, this is not a tourist
war.
The reality of this
theatre of operations is very complex. Trench lines are non-linear, covering
large stretches of plain, and are often located at nodes on main routes where
once there were pine groves that after bombardment are now only scattered
splinters.
Even their highly
imaginative networks of trenches and foxholes do not escape accurate artillery
bombardment, and UAVs are the key to this.
The tactics of
assaulting these positions is not classic and it is there that the Russians and
in particular the “Wagner” types using novel tactics have broken the backbone
of Kiev's defence, most notably the advance into Donetsk Oblast liberating
several Russophone settlements, to Soledar and soon to fully seize Bakhmut.
Panic has spread
through the corridors of the White House and from there to the Pentagon from
where they are pushing the Germans very hard to deliver “Leopard” battle tanks
to Kiev, which would mean a declaration of war on Russia. As for the Germans,
BND intelligence has been reporting that the level of daily Ukrainian
casualties (reaching three figures) will crucially affect the sustaining of the
front and this fear is seen on the streets of Kiev and other Ukrainian towns
where men are practically being “hunted” to be taken to the front.
It seems that the
Americans have once again outsourced their participation under the mask of
private security companies like BLACKWATER, which caused so much damage to
Iraqi and Afghan civilians. Now a collection of these same guys under the name
of MOZART, a security services company based in Suriname (Latin America),
probably under the direction of the CIA, composed of mercenaries wearing blue
ribbon uniforms and Ukrainian equipment are trying to counter WAGNER's Russian
counterpart.
But as the Americans
seem to be no match for these Russian colleagues, the bureaucrats in Washington
are trying to give them a helping hand by seeking to freeze the Russian
company's funds by placing it on the list of irregular armed organisations. As
an old friend would say “Come on man, open mince pies and throw butcher hook,
inni” What about American and British mercenary task forces?
The Americans can no
longer hide their involvement on the ground. There is no way. Their casualties
disguised in Varan uniforms with Ukrainian waistcoats and badges are also
scattered in several of the liberated settlements in Donetsk and what does The
White House say about that?
All this is made worse
by the huge material losses the FSU suffers every day, which are ignored by the
BBC, DW and the French media. What does the Institute for War Studies in
Washington have to say? Although it tries to blame the latest failures on the
Ukrainians themselves, everything else is pure science fiction. I'd like to see
them actually step on the ground and feel the hardness of the clay and the
slipperiness of the mud that clogs the trucks. I think these guys, who have
their asses comfortably perched on a retractable chair staring at an LED screen
in a well-appointed office in Washington, are way out of touch with reality.
They would have to be told that the colourful aerial shots of the fields
collected by the UAVs do not reflect the real danger and brutality on display
on the ground.
I would tell them that
they have no idea what this war is about and that if they are hoping to throw
the boys of the 101st Airborne Division marauding Poland and Romania, they had
better think carefully about what they are going to do, this is tougher than
they imagine.
