It is my assessment that people are under quite a lot of illusions about Russia, illusions fed from the propaganda machine of the West
If you think that this was an unprovoked invasion after 120,000 Russian troops massed on the border, if you think that Russia is about to run out of missiles or microchips, if you think the army is in disarray and unable to fight, if you think Bucha was Russian war crimes, if you think that the Russian government is a cynical kleptocracy, if you think that the regime (as many call it) maintains power only through force and oppression and corruption, if you think the sanctions are working and the world is united against Russia, if you think Russia blew up its pipelines, if you haven't thought practically about how to house the tens of millions of Ukrainian migrants... if you believe any of these things then you are under a severe delusion.
If on the other hand you believe the war started in 2014 when the Minsk agreements brokered by Fr and Ge and signed as a UN resolution was binned by Ukraine's Poroschenko, if you think Russia massing on the border was a response to the battalions Kiev had sent to quell the Donbas, if you would like to see some sort of a deal between Russia (80% of Russians live in Europe) and Europe where Russia's commodities and food are exchanged for Europe's (Germany's) money and technology to make a world-beating trade bloc (the American fear that drives this war), if you think that it is time for negotiation and compromise and peace without victory, if you can see that there is no way short of nuclear war that the Russians will ever cede Crimea or the Donbas because of historical invasions that passed through these geographic gateways, if you think the sanctions have been a disaster for everyone except Russia and America and can see the world splitting into two reserve currencies and Orders as another disaster for us in the West... then you are on the right track to a peaceful and prosperous future for all Europe.
EVIDENCE
Before dismissing me as a crazed russophile, please consider this evidence:
-RAND_RR3063.pdf - it's the American strategy for weakening Russia, google search
-https://youtu.be/q4TV4_taLzE - this is John Meirsheimer predicting seven years ago that if America persisted rolling its tanks up Russia's front lawn, Putin would wreck Ukraine
-https://youtu.be/rm5icaLbUMA in Putin's own words (give him a hearing at least)
-https://history.state.gov/historicaldocuments/frus1945-50Intel/d292 America's archives from setup against Russia (USSR) in 1948. You don't have to be a Putinist to tell stories of covert CIA operations against Russia.
It is all about the usual Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse - Greed, Fear, Ignorance and Hope. But we are smarter than that, aren't we?
