Russian Neo-Con General Urges Putin to Attack UKRs Banking Infrastructure
2022-11-30
[IBTimes] Neocon? How do you figure that, mossomo?
  • General Gurulev: The goal is to sow chaos, to leave Ukrainians without jobs or means of livelihood

  • Moscow has fired more than 4,700 rockets into Ukraine since the beginning of the war

  • The recent wave of missile strikes targeted critical Ukrainian infrastructure, such as energy facilities

#2  Yeah, if they lose, they will probably get a bail-out.

#1  The worst thing that could happen to Russia is to win this war.
They would be faced by opposition from all nations of the world with the possible exception of Iran and China, (assuming that the present governments there survive the unrest they have unleashed on themselves).
All small nations would feel the need to protect themselves from Russian threats and would want to unite into a world coalition to resist them.
Their method of attacking civilian life is a monster war crime that is repulsive to the tender minded. They would face the problem of converting their conquest into more than a pile of rubble all alone with help from nobody.
Sensible government in the United States would deprive them of their oil and gas markets.
Their low European birth rates will condemn them to an Oriental future, not necessarily a bad fate but one unacceptable to Putin.
Losing on the other hand would be much better and could be done in such a way that Putin could survive, the way Nasser survived in 1956.
