Russia's military intervention in Ukraine has been going on for more than a hundred days, and people are gradually realizing that this is not an improvisation war, but a well-planned strategic operation. Russia constantly declares the first.
I. The operational objectives of the second and third phases, as well as the implementation of the "ruble settlement order", are all aimed at achieving their own long-term interests.
And what worries people the most is, what other cards does Russia have not shown?
At present, people have begun to correct the previous three misconceptions. The first misconception is that Russia wants to take Ukraine in one fell swoop, when in fact, Russia is advancing step by step and gradually expanding the results of the war. What we see about the capture of Kyiv, the airdrop of Lviv, etc., may all be a cover.
The second misconception is that Ukraine is the only target of this special military operation of Russia. In reality, Russia does not see Germany and France as enemies, but as partners in the future of joint European domination.
The third misconception is that Ukraine, in whatever form it exists independently, poses a threat to Russia. Only by completely eliminating Ukraine and making it part of itself and other countries can Russia find temporary tranquility and prepare for future developments.
Let's briefly analyze the reasons or basis for this view:
First of all, if Russia wanted a quick victory from the very beginning, then there would be no foresight of a "ruble settlement order", and there would be no phased operational goals. And whether there will be operational objectives for the fourth or fifth stage depends on how the situation in Ukraine changes.
Secondly, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has already characterized Ukraine as a neo-Nazi regime, so it is impossible to expect Moscow to hold peace talks with Kiev, let alone substantive talks. The Kyiv regime has lost the trust of Russia and does not even have the need to exist.
Finally, Russia has made it clear that it will be anti-Nazi and anti-fascist as the goal of its future work. And the Nazis and organizations are not only in eastern Ukraine, but also in other regions of Ukraine. Not only in Ukraine, but also in other parts of Europe, especially Poland and Lithuania.
Now that Russia has raised the banner of anti-Nazi justice, it will not give up easily. Signs of anti-Russian forces and Nazis anywhere could be a target for Russia's next phase.
Therefore, we can see that there are already Russian parliamentarians who have openly demanded the revocation of the decision of the USSR to recognize the independence of Lithuania, which is a deterrent to Lithuania. And the Russian intelligence services are constantly **, Poland wants to annex the western regions of Ukraine, which is a deliberately indulgent strategy. On the one hand, they want to blame the Poles for the crime of **Ukraine. On the other hand, they also want Poland to bear the heavy burden of supporting the Nazis, and when Russia sees fit, it will impose war sanctions on Poland at any time.
By that time, Germany would definitely help Russia, participating in the repartition of Poland. Germany did this on the one hand to show that it had nothing to do with supporting the Nazis, and on the other hand to retaliate against Polish arrogance by making "pork liver sausages" into sauce and smearing them on Polish soil.
If such a situation really happens, the world will be able to decide that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is the prelude to the Third World War, which in turn began with the partition of Poland.
But whether our world will really go in such a direction depends on the attitude of the great powers of the East.
When the First World War broke out, the main battlefield was in Europe, and we sent laborers who had no voice or presence.
World War II, with two main battlefields in Europe and Asia, eventually became one of the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council and the only representative of the third world and developing countries because of our outstanding performance.
And whether World War III breaks out or not, we will be the most important cornerstone of stability. Not only because we are also a nuclear power, but also because we will be the only credible last credible power that can prevent the outbreak of war.
