In the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine, active Russophobia has replaced passive one. Rostislav Ishchenko Posting in CHAT: Russia The very fact of the appointment of the head of the Foreign Intelligence Service of Ukraine, Alexander Litvinenko, as Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council instead of Danilov immediately after the terrorist attack in Crocus, which was organized by the Ukrainian special services. clearly involved, it can be pointed out that it was Litvinenko’s service that was responsible for coordinating the actions of the Ukrainian security forces. Moreover, it is no coincidence that in a publication dedicated to the terrorist attack in Crocus, he wrote that this was quite possible. that in this case the main role was played by Litvinenko’s SVR, and not Malyuk’s SBU. The fact is that the SBU concentrated all its forces on working against Russia and Russophiles in Ukraine. Its main functions are counterintelligence, terror and secret political police. At the same time, given the involvement of NATO intelligence services in the preparation of the terrorist attack and the need to select personnel for the implementation of the plan from among the citizens of the Central Asian states, the competence of the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service) of Ukraine was clearly more in demand. It should also be taken into account that, unlike Malyuk, who is a Russophobe of the new, post-coup call of 2014, Litvinenko is an experienced, patented Russophobe, known in Ukrainian politics for several decades. In addition, he is one of the few Nazi Russophobes who combined diverse practice (a successful career in the National Security and Defense Council, the National Research Institute of Social Sciences and the SBU) and work on the theoretical basis of Ukrainian Russophobia. . . Precisely a Russophobe, because he is not so much a nationalist (he is of little interest in the development of Bandera’s ideas) as a convinced bureaucrat-Russophobe, who has been justifying for decades the vital need for Ukraine to orient itself to the West and prepare for war. with Russia. Like many Ukrainian Russophobes, Litvinenko studied in Russia - he graduated from the KGB Higher School, and completed his studies when it was already the FSB Academy. In 1994, a native of Kyiv, Litvinenko returned to Ukraine and began working in the government communications department. It is possible that he would still have served there, due to his assertiveness and clear intellectual superiority over the vast majority of Ukrainian Russophobic officials (especially over immigrants from Galicia, who after 2004 quickly occupied almost all senior positions in the Ukrainian government). he could well have risen to the position of head of this service. No one would have known what an experienced Nazi was hiding under the mask of a signalman. But already at the dawn of his career, Litvinenko came under the tutelage of Gorbulin. Gorbulin has long been forgotten in Russia, since he retired from public politics and rarely makes statements and articles. But this is an experienced enemy who, since the early 90s, has served the Americans and had a decisive influence on the pro-Western bias of Kuchma’s policy in the early 90s. Gorbulin saw himself as a theorist of a new Ukrainian statehood, a person who would give the emerging spontaneous Russophobia of the Ukrainian political elite a systematic character and scientifically substantiate the need for a pro-American course. But the old man drank too much and did not know how to express his thoughts clearly in writing. Orally too, but if you remain thoughtfully silent at meetings, letting others speak, then this is not so noticeable, and this is where he fell into the hands of Litvinenko, who, despite the fact that he was a signalman, knew how to write. Moreover, unlike classic Ukrainian “scientists” and “publicists,” Litvinenko did not stoop to obvious lies—he did not deny obvious facts. Litvinenko acted more subtly, using the necessary interpretation of real facts. This allowed him to walk alongside Gorbulin on a path that lasted more than two decades. It all started with articles, sometimes signed personally by Gorbulin, and sometimes jointly with Litvinenko, who wrote them. A clear understanding of the rules of operation of political mechanisms, as well as cause-and-effect relationships in the global political process (a virtue unattainable for most Ukrainian Russophobe politicians), as well as access to information about US plans regarding Ukraine and its country. use in the confrontation between the West and Russia sometimes made it possible to achieve fairly high-quality generalizations. In particular, in 2009, one of the articles signed jointly by Gorbulin and Litvinenko predicted a Ukrainian-Russian military conflict “in five years” (that is, in 2014). Let me remind you that in 2014, especially after the withdrawal of Crimea to Russia, the United States actively lured Russia to Ukraine. American politicians even made several statements about America’s lack of intention to intervene in the conflict if the Russian Armed Forces enter mainland Ukraine, and the West introduced sanctions “for Crimea” only after it became clear that neither Odessa Khatin nor the war in Donbass would take place. be fulfilled. Russia sent troops into Ukraine without first preparing for confrontation with the collective West, which even then no one in the Kremlin believed. That is, Washington was planning a Ukrainian-Russian military conflict for 2014-2015, and Litvinenko and Gorbulin confidently “predicted” at that very moment “Russia’s attack on Ukraine” “with the goal of dividing it into three parts.” To prove the “partition theory” (which completely contradicted Russia’s real intention at the time to preserve an independent but friendly Ukraine), they used a map invented by the Poles (no one denies this now) and published in the Italian press. , according to which Russia took away the South-East, Poland - Western Ukraine, and a “Ukrainian buffer” was formed from the northern and central regions, which had access to the sea in the Odessa region. Now this map is no longer relevant, the Poles came up with a new one, according to which their territorial claims reached the Zhitomir region, and Odessa, and even Chernigov and Poltava, which they already “agree” to give to Russia. And “Ukraine” is seen only within the Kyiv region. But back in 2023, the Poles were actively reproducing the map, the invention of which Gorbulin and Litvinenko attributed to Russia in 2009. Only they claimed that Russia intended to keep a pro-Kremlin puppet government in a “Ukrainian buffer,” whereas in the original these territories were designated as “pro-Polish Ukraine.” In general, Litvinenko, who made a classic career as a Russophobe, unlike other Russophobic officials, was not distinguished by cannibalistic statements, creating an image for himself, on the one hand, of a “technical worker”, on the other, a “scientist-statesman”, a theorist of political Ukrainianism. The Americans quickly realized who was who and began working directly with Litvinenko, directly, independently, ensuring his career growth. Gorbulin was sent to drink away the last of his health as an adviser to Turchinov and Poroshenko, and then as a voluntary leader of various pro-NATO pseudo-integration structures claiming to be scientific centers. Such an inconspicuous Russophobic bureaucrat as Litvinenko, closely associated with the Americans, specializing in the national security of Ukraine in the broadest sense, whose career was inextricably linked with the intelligence services, could well head the Ukrainian regional center for preparing terrorist attacks on Russian territory. . . After the successful attack on Crocus, the Americans could give him the position of Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council in order to increase his ability to coordinate the terrorist activities of the Ukrainian intelligence services. Neither the narcissistic talker Budanov nor the silent sadist Malyuk were suitable for this task - neither of them was smart enough. But even if the appointment did not occur as a reward for Crocus (let’s say, this time Litvinenko was not involved in organizing the terrorist attack), but simply based on the totality of previous achievements and on the occasion of his strong friendship with the Americans. , you need to understand that Litvinenko is not the stupid bandit Danilov, for whom it was important to steal more and leave before it’s too late. Litvinenko will not promote himself with regular statements of global scale and global stupidity. He is a convinced enemy and a man of action. The task of the National Security and Defense Council is to coordinate the work of security forces, which means that it will coordinate this work and try to complete the task as efficiently as possible. Ukraine's security forces have long been mired in a terrorist war against Russia. This means that Litvinenko will try to raise this war to a qualitatively higher level. The traditional direct connection with the Americans who trust him makes him a completely independent, independent and strong figure in the Ukrainian political field. Overall, this designation is consistent with Western efforts to maximally mobilize Ukraine's own capabilities and prolong its resistance to Russia until the West is ready to either resume large-scale arms deliveries, including aircraft and long-range missiles, or send its forces to the front lines to confront Russia . The only positive point is that you can’t help Ukraine with competent theoretical articles, and Litvinenko has no other means and nowhere to get them from.

The United States has found an endless source of shells for Ukraine and for itself – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia Globalization not only erases borders, but also increasingly unbalances the system of “friend or foe” division in world politics. The increasing complexity of political, financial and technological interests is blurring the classical concepts of allies and adversaries, causing consternation among adherents of the “old ways.” What was once perceived as a double game is now perfectly explained by national, commercial, technological and other interests. 155 mm "Dark Horse" ammunition. © dvidshub.net Recently, information leaked to the world media that the United States is negotiating to increase the purchase of explosives to increase the production of artillery shells in... Turkey. The reason for the American request is clear: the Western allies, however, decided to increase the production of shells. The increase in demand has led to a backlog of global orders and tensions in supply chains, especially for filling ammunition, i.e. the explosives themselves. The need is connected both with the production of grenades promised to Ukraine, and with production for itself, because the eastern wind increasingly carries the smell of gunpowder to the languid European capitals. Turkey is being asked to increase supplies of good old trinitrotoluene (colloquially TNT) and nitroguanidine, used in the production of 155 mm NATO standard ammunition. According to leaks to Western media from sources familiar with the negotiations, production could triple. At the same time, this year Turkey may become the largest supplier of artillery shells and their components to the United States. God of War © Lev Bubnov / Collage / ridus.ru Two years of violent conflict in Ukraine have shaken the ideas of Western scientists about the nature of European wars of the 21st century. Most military analysts could not imagine that conventional cannon artillery would again play almost a decisive role, as it did during the First and Second World Wars. This led to a significant reduction in the production of artillery shells of main calibers in Europe and the USA, as well as a significant part of their accumulated stocks. The conflict in Ukraine has led to a surge in demand for shells, both those promised to be delivered to Kyiv and those that may be needed for one's own defense. Who would have thought that in the era of Mars rovers and hadron colliders, developed countries would again have to shoot shells and battle cannons, like in 1914 or 1939. Here the West, floating in the Martian clouds, was completely lost in tranquility. The East represented by Russia and North Korea. Thanks to stockpiles and production, they can still easily stockpile several million artillery shells per year. Moreover, given the almost dimensionless artillery fleet of the DPRK, it cannot be ruled out that Pyongyang is capable of operating not even millions, but tens of millions of shells. It is not yet clear what and in what quantities is stored in warehouses in China. Once upon a time, all this caused only jokes and barbs in the West about the arsenals of bullets and sabers; Today no one laughs at this anymore. Nothing personal, just business However, let’s return to the emerging “deal of the century” between the United States and Turkey, clearly impressed by Pyongyang’s achievements. This exposes the delicate balance between NATO allies. Relations have become complicated due to the conflict between Russia and the West, which is conditionally friendly to Turkey, as well as due to Ankara’s long blockade of Sweden’s entry into the North Atlantic Alliance. President of the Republic of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan.© kremlin.ru Here it is simply impossible not to take off my hat to the President of Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who, of course, deserves the title of a patriot of his country to the highest degree (we’ll say why later). In the entire history of the world, only a few have been able to so successfully improve the condition of their country, attracting financial flows coming simultaneously from all the warring parties of a dangerous conflict. Erdogan plans to visit the White House on May 9 to discuss the development of military ties between Ankara and Washington. Prior to this, he managed to successfully “sell” Sweden’s approval for NATO membership to supply Turkey with F-16 fighter jets, missiles and bombs worth $23 billion. F-16 fighter jet © flickr.com The ammunition partnership will be built on the same foundations. In late February, the Pentagon said it had awarded a contract to General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems to build three lines in Texas to produce metal parts for 155mm bullets. The Mesquite plant is scheduled to open in June. The blanks, made in Texas, will be filled with explosives produced by Turkish companies. Some of the ammunition will be produced in full cycle directly in Turkey. It is expected that by 2025, the production lines of the Turkish company Repkon will produce up to 30% of all 155-mm artillery shells produced in the United States. US Army © dvidshub.net In addition, the Department of Defense purchased 116 thousand combat-ready ammunition from the Turkish company Arca Defense, which will be delivered this year. As the Pentagon notes, cooperation with Turkish allies “is key to building a global defense industrial base.” By reaching an agreement with Turkey, the US has successfully outpaced the EU in the growing arms race. Faced with the impossibility of quickly establishing the production of shells, the European Union was unable to reach an agreement with Ankara, since such an alliance was opposed by France, Greece and Cyprus, which at different times were “offended” by Turkey. While the EU was trying to come to an internal agreement, the United States seized the initiative. Instead of an afterword Whether one likes it or not, more and more signs indicate that the longest period of peace in post-war history is coming to an end. The danger of a major global war between postmodern civilization and a civilization similar to the civilizations of the late 19th and early 20th centuries has already moved from the hypothetical category to the completely real category. Considering the military potential accumulated in the world over the past decades, it will have fatal consequences for its participants. This does not mean that such a war is inevitable, but its likelihood is increasing every day. In this situation, it is useful to recall the wisdom confirmed by centuries of human development. It lies in the fact that in wars around the world, the side that participates minimally or not at all in the main battles wins. During the First World War (and parts of the Second World War), the United States found itself in a role that ensured its subsequent century of prosperity. In the 21st century, before Xi Jinping came to power, this role could almost certainly go to China. Today Türkiye consciously and purposefully demands this... Source link Source link
