Putin’s main mistake, of course, is that he really wanted to conduct a special operation, but he got stuck in something that Roskomnadzor does not even allow to be named. This happened because a strategic mistake was made. in the assessment of the situation on several key parameters “, commented Vladimir Pastukhov – political scientist, associate at London’s” University College “to” Echo of Moscow “, BGNES reports.
How Russia can lose the war with Ukraine
“Incorrect assessment of the military-political situation in Ukraine. In a sense, Putin has fallen victim to nepotism. Now that his cousin Medvedchuk has probably reached Moscow after escaping house arrest in Kyiv, now is the time to do so. “Let’s ask where the promised flowers are. Expectations that the political regime in Kyiv will collapse like a house of cards immediately after the start of the special operation have completely failed. On the contrary, it has strengthened and the pro-Russian opposition has been completely discredited and morally crushed.”
Russia begins nuclear weapons exercises
“The Kremlin is once again stepping on the same beam, failing to understand the essence of the Ukrainian revolution and its anti-colonial, national liberation character. As a former Soviet humanitarian, I can say that Putin and his compulsory Marxism-Leninism lessons in the USSR collaborators have caught flies. And obviously: as events have shown, there is no such thing as unnecessary knowledge, “Pastuhov said.
Russia clashes with Turkey, which has been preparing for revenge for 200 years,” Pastukhov said.
Russia is trying to stop Western companies from fleeing the country
“At one point, Putin began to think that the outstanding experimental projects that shaped the content of Russian propaganda stories and reports sent to him by the Russian General Staff actually reflected the level of real combat capabilities of the Russian army. The special operation in Ukraine, which quickly ceased. to be special, showed at the end of the third day that the Russian army remains a World War II army advancing with tanks and cannon fodder. Among other factors mentioned above, this prevented the Kremlin from starting and ending the operation in two or three days before Europe and the world had time to are recovering from the shock, “Pastuhov said.
international response. In fact, this was pointed out by the brave Scottish Captain, now acting British Secretary of Defense, in his first emotional reaction to the atrocities of the Bolshevik successors – Putin forgot the lesson the West taught the Russian. Tsar Nikolai a century and a half ago, when all the supposed closest allies turned their backs on Russia and the country found itself in complete international isolation. And no matter how much Medvedev stumbles, the West will not back down, even China has declared development of relations with the United States a priority, and in just a few months the world will learn to live without Russia. a huge blind spot populated by rapidly savaging natives has emerged.This will be nothing like the USSR, but a second North Korea, priko a bathtub to China, where Putin will travel, as Russian princes traveled to the Golden Horde, to exchange oil for beads, “Pastukhov said.
Ukraine: More than 2,000 civilians were killed in the Russian invasion
A reassessment of the effectiveness of nuclear blackmail. Putin’s fixed idea for years is that as long as he has a nuclear shield with enough potential to destroy the planet, he can “milk” the Goldfish like the fisherman in the fairy tale. Russia’s intimidation has shown everyone exactly what kind of peace and methods it intends to use to establish Russia in Europe and elsewhere. Russia’s reputation today is like that of Hannibal Lecter in The Silence of the Lambs. “Putin has completely lost the opportunity to continue his nuclear blackmail. Everyone already knows what he is capable of and, clenching his teeth, is preparing for nuclear retaliation. All cartridges in the West have been blown up and all missed,” Pastukhov said.
“These strategic mistakes will have serious and irreversible consequences for Russia in the near future. Putin, the Kremlin, Russia and the Russians are already identical in the eyes of world public opinion. No one will distinguish between sanctions against the Kremlin and sanctions against Russia. Russia will continue to be collectively responsible for the actions of its government. “
Russia’s reputation is equated with that of the most denied regimes of the 20th century. It will take decades to fix this – if it can be fixed at all. A sanitary cordon-like sanitary cordon is beginning to form around Russia.” points out Pastukhov.
“The sanctions regime against Russia is serious and long-term. In the next few years, world economic relations will be restructured, bypassing Russia and without its participation. Russia will face painful degradation of its entire economic and social infrastructure.”
“Inside Russia, a theocratic totalitarian regime will be established without pretensions to postmodern liberalism. Its mainstay will be an ideology similar to that of totalitarian religious sects. Russia itself will conform to all classical models of twentieth-century literary anti-utopias.”
“In an effort to break the blockade, Kremlin leaders will constantly balance on the verge of nuclear suicide, and it is possible to officially declare war on the United States in the near future. But even without that, the risk of a nuclear catastrophe will be a nightmare for generations.” , Pastukhov predicts.
