Strategic Loosenings
Emerging Opportunities
In accordance with the feeling that the Russian SMO in Donbas has thrown the entire order of nations into a new era of some sort, some loosening of strategic fasteners and emergence of strategic opportunities appear in connection with the Black Sea-Eastern Mediterranean-Persian Gulf region.
Vladimir Putin in Tehran with Recep ErdoÄŸan and Ebrahim Raisi:
So, it would be best to take extra steps in our trilateral format aimed at stabilising the situation in those areas [US-and terrorist-occupied] and at returning control to the legitimate government of Syria.
It appears to me that Russia, Turkey, and Iran have agreed to reunite Syria and run US out, especially from Syrian oil fields. I doubt Israel would want to get in the middle of that operation, to back up Vicki Nuland and CIA.
OTOH, joint Russian, Turkish, Iranian operations in that direction — using Diplomacy, Finance, War-Fighting — is an easy way to open a second front against Nuland/CIA, in addition to attacking their front against Russia in Ukraine. Waste away American strength and will the way Nuland et al want to waste away Russia’s strength and will via Ukraine. It makes strategic sense. It would not take much.
No doubt Russians have assessed — accurately — that Nuland et al lack industrial base, generalship, and Soldier retention/recruitment to do much more than jump and shout while terrorizing civilian populations with rocket and tube salvos on their homes, schools, hospitals, train stations, bridges, and supermarkets.
Daily is wasted opportunity to practice Three Brothers Doctrine, and all down to enmity and envy in a tiny but bumptious fraction of the US population — Ashkenazy Jewish Atheists — over perceived wrongs done to their ancestors by, they believe, Russians.
A monitory Joint Statement by the three presidents at Tehran.
Sergey Lavrov (video interview) expands Russia’s strategic goal in Ukraine region due to HIMARS presence from Nuland et al. Bernard at Moon of Alabama describes what this means operationally and tactically.
Of note: Russia, so far, has not struck decision-centers in Kiev, or power and water plants there or at other major cities.
Should non-existent (but active) US and British commanders of Ukrainian forces manage — using HIMARS or other means — to make unusable bridges over the Dnipro River at Antonivka and Antonivsʹkyy Zaliznychnyy Mist, and the railroad across the Dnipro at Nova Kakhovka dam, Russia’s strategic vector pointing at Mykolaiv and Odessa-Transnistria (Left Bank of the Dniester River, opposite Moldova) — all this being historic Novorossiya — would be threatened on both flanks.
Should that happen, or get close to happening, one would expect Russian General Staff to recommend to President Putin that American (who are not there) and Ukrainian decision-makers be annihilated in their decision-making centers in Kiev and elsewhere, such as Mykolaiv.
For reference — and in free PDF — the justly renowned study, The Russian Way Of War, by Lester W. Grau and Charles K. Bartles is worth a student’s time to digest and grasp.
