Putin didn't want a copy of Israel at his doorstep. He knows that Victoria Nulland went to Ukraine and installed a government to create a discount Israel there.
Israel was the proof of concept that a artificial creation in a region would be used to crush any country westerners disliked and wanted to take advantage of and impose their will.
The silly Ukrainians thought: We will be a discount Israel here. You know the drill. Democracy. Rule of the law, freedom and the billions of dollars to fund all that. Complete with jet fighters, missiles, rockets and free technologies for us to play big and strong.
Then, the Ukrainians thought, we, together with the other minnows, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia as Israel limited edition, will fustigate Russia. Create internal divisions. Civil unrest, etc. The final goal would be to Balkanize Russia and create several mini-countries from Vladivostok to Saint Petersburg. Those would be vassal states. controlled by the EU.
Zelenski hard at work trying to prove they can be an Israel, hit Russians building, sending in killers, hitting Russian airfields.
Vladimir knew the plan and decided to wipe the weed on the bud. No fake Israel neighbor near the Russian borders. Hence Ukraine having no change to implement Israel's proof of concept.
But there is more. The Chinese immediately discovered that Taiwan was being coached to be an Asian Israel from where China could face the same planned Russia Balkanization. Split China into mini states. That could be concocted by telling the Uyghurs were being denied "human rights" but the plan was to use Taiwan to control the Taiwan Strait.
The Australians smelled the power, "prestige" and the money and decided to jump in as kangaroo Israel. contracting $40 billion of nuclear submarines. To "protect" the sea lanes against, guess who? Their biggest trading partner China. Australia wanted to be an appendix too.
Russians and Chinese are smarter than the Middle East folks. It is not going to work there.
The world has changed and the tools used in the two decades following WWII end will never work anymore;
Accept multipolarity and adapt..
The son of Reza Pahlavi trying to go back to Tehran is ridiculous. Thinking that throwing bombs for a few days and governments' fall? What do these people think. That this is Chile 1973? |
