A brief summary of the war logic so far.
Defend yourself. But until recently - don'T strike the enemy in his preparation and rest space.
Defend yourself. But don't strike Russian refineries to hurt his oil supply and our gasoline porices and my eleciton chances.
Defend yourself but dont demand to get enough of what you need to do so.
Defend yourself, but dont strikem the neemy'S military production facilities.
Defend yourself, but don't hinder the enemy's long range detection capabilities against your drones.
Defend yourself, but dont strike Kerch bridge before the Russians have established alternative supply liones
Defend yourseklf, but dont strike your enemy so hard that he will no longer win.
Defend yourself, but dont defend yourself too much. Better bleed than successfully deter the enemy, if need be.
I have stopped long time ago trying to ake sens eof Wetsenr logic when all exprience witg Russia since WW2 shows that the Russians respect and react to only one thing: equal if not superior force and the bitter detemrination to use it. Only then there was and is the chance that Russia gives space.
What they think in most Western capitals, makes me sick. Its all fear-driven - and fear alone is the worst of all advisors. How the war goes shows the outcome of fear as a strategy. Plus the Republican sabotage - that could be seen by future historians as the single most influential factor that has costed the Ukraine to reach an outcome fo this war at its conditions.
The Ukrainians desperately need everything they can get, so they cannot tell us openly what they think of us. They cannot afford this sort of honesty. But I doubt that behind their polite faces they feel nothing but thankfulness.
They are fighting OUR future war so that we must not fight it. They die for OUR illusion of peace and freedom. And we bind them their hands on their back and refuse them the weapons they need.
We are closer to Russian than Ukrainian interests, as a matter of fact - our own strategic longterm interests not even mentioned.
The only thing Sovjet/Russian "diplomacy" has ever reported and reacted to, was superior force and iron determination.
Our governments are made of wine gums - they are soft and give way when you bite them, and when you spit on them, they slowly dissolve.
