Since the announcement of Russia’s security requirements last December and the obvious fact that NATO wouldn’t confess to its breaking all OSCE security treaties, the question has always been: How will Russia make its security requirements reality. That Russia would perform its own version of an R2P operation was plain when the conditions of genocide in Donbass were announced in November to which Putin agreed.
About two weeks ago, Putin said the following:
“Today, the system of the unipolar world that developed after the collapse of the Soviet Union is being destroyed, that’s what is most important. The main thing is not even the tragic events taking place in the Donbas and Ukraine, because this is not the main thing. Much is said that the United States is ‘ready to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.’ And they say, and we say, in fact, this is how it is. That is the quintessence of the events taking place.”
Lavrov about the same time said the aim of the SMO is to end the Outlaw US Empire’s hegemony.
Those facts ought to have enormous influence on any analysis of the current situation. Furthermore, two other facts must be added to the scales–China/Russia’s 4 February Joint Declaration and Xi Jinping’s Boao Forum Speech–of the overall Geopolitical equation wherein our Hybrid Third World War’s centered. And all that has bearing on Guterres talks with Lavrov tomorrow:
On April 26, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov will hold talks with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who will arrive in Moscow on a working visit.The focus will be on issues related to the crisis situation in Ukraine, the DPR and the LPR, which has developed as a result of the eight-year conflict unleashed by Kiev against the population of Donbass. The interlocutor will be informed about the progress of the special military operation carried out by Russia in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter. It is also planned to touch upon a number of acute issues on the international agenda, including Syria, Libya and the Middle East settlement.
Particular emphasis will be placed on our unwavering support for the work of the UN and the provisions of its Charter, as well as the central coordinating role of the world Organization in world affairs. In addition, the parties will discuss the possibility of developing productive cooperation between Russia and the UN Secretariat.
Somehow a global view of the Big Picture needs to be adopted instead of the Westerncentric POV to which most of us are subjected to. However, this Western saying is very apt: Pride goeth before the storm.
One need not necessarily concur with all that author John Colman opines in his revelatory 1991 book! However, considerable inferential food for ponderous thought may be easily eXtrapolated to current conditions. His eXposition on perditious reigning traditions brings to light highly toXic, historically parasitcal genealogical typologies. . . Pfffft! ⚡️⚡️
