The Ukrainian invasion or however you may want to cal it… will result in Russia killing two birds with one stone!
First, they will have removed all American influence and NATO threats from this very important piece of soviet territory and Black sea ports, and second…
Once the Ukrainian resistance capitulates don't be surprised if Putin rejects Ukrainian self determination.
He has already gone over budget and spilled too much blood while the foolish Ukrainian regime played games till the very end, so his demands for surrender will most likely increase and I wouldn’t be surprised if the Ukraine loses statehood outright.
Russia cannot take any more risks with the Ukraine… there can never be a repeat of this debacle, but more importantly he is now alerted to a new important commodity coming under Russian control...
Russian + Ukrainian grains… the world’s two largest grain exporters to be combined into a new global front!
To the victor go the spoils, and who would blame him? He will have earned it.
---------------------------------
Btw, one thing I forgot to mention is that as we near the end don’t be surprised if the desperate Ukrainians attempt a major false flag. Whether it’s a strike on a nuclear power plant or whether it’s a slaughter of fleeing civilians remains to be seen, but the danger of this happening remains great.
The fools will probably believe to the bitter end that propaganda will get them through but Russia is impervious to the West’s propaganda after decades of confronting the same. Propaganda cannot win the Ukraine anything other than delay their suffering for the end is a foregone conclusion.
---------------------------------
There is a meeting scheduled very soon between the two sides but I can see that Russia had upped the ante for they are now also demanding that the Ukraine recognizes the two state-lets recently recognized by Russia.
This is a very bitter and humiliating condition for the Ukraine to suddenly accept who are already struggling to accept the signing away of Crimea.
I therefore consider this to be the last “negotiating” meeting between the two sides as I sense Putin aims for this meeting to fail knowing that the next one will simply be an acceptance of surrender of all conditions and beyond.
