MIAMI, United States. – On Saturday, October 8, as is known, two sections of the brand new Kerch bridge linking Russia to the recently incorporated Crimean peninsula were destroyed military manual by Mr Vladimir Putin. (Although – everything must be said – it found a certain echo among the ethnic Russians that abound in that tortured region of the planet).
What is not known is how they blew up the two sections of the bridge simultaneously. Was it a Ukrainian submarine? Was it a sabotage operation carried out by a truck transporting flammable material? There are eight detainees, presumably subjected to torture sessions, which will end up generating any type of responses induced by the butcher who acts as an interrogator. Or were they two Ukrainian-made Neptune missiles, like those used to sink the Russian flagship Moskva (Moscow) in the Black Sea on April 14, a few weeks into the Russian invasion of Ukraine?
If I had to bet, I would do it on the option of the Neptune missiles from the Ukrainian factory Luch. It is not a question of nationalism, but of the fact that the gringos jealously guard that the weapons that they give to the Ukrainians are not used offensively against Russia. They are for defense. Since the Neptune rockets seem to have worked splendidly for them in the Black Sea against the flagship Moskva, they will tend to repeat the feat. What seems unlikely is that they used a truck bomb. (So far, the only suicides in this wonderfully skeptical age, where there is no belief in the afterlife, are Islamists, who hold other beliefs.)
In any case, Putin reacted like a miura to the attack on “his bridge”. He manufactured it in record time. It was its Project. There was a personal matter in the matter. There was none in the sinking of the Moskva. She was a ship 186 meters long (long) by 26 meters wide (width), manufactured in the early 1980s for a crew of 510 sailors and officers. She was a missile cruiser. To prevent dive raids, the invaders have ridiculously declared it to be a “sacred underwater park.” The Moskva had served to sow terror in the Syria of Bashar al-Assad, a puppet of the Russians.
That is why Putin unleashed a missile attack on the capital, Kiev, and numerous major cities in Ukraine. He was the victim of an uncontrollable fit of rage, despite his proverbial gill breathing. The missiles have hit universities, schools, hospitals and workers’ homes. To the extent that he feared that he would use the adverse course of the war to employ nuclear energy against Ukraine.
Fortunately he didn’t. He thought that the US would retaliate, also nuclear, against Moscow, as we will see later. Ultimately, the US bears an enormous responsibility in this conflict, which Washington has fully acknowledged. In early 1994, Bill Clinton, then US President; Boris Yeltsin of Russia and Leonid Kravchuk of Ukraine were part of a “Partnership for Peace” formed by NATO.
Subsequently, Russia promised to collect the almost 3,000 atomic missiles deployed on Ukrainian territory, under the watchful eye of the US and England, which serve as guarantors of the pact between Moscow and kyiv, later destroyed by Vladimir Putin and his invasion. to Ukraine.
It remains to rule out the nuclear threat from Putin. Is serious? I do not think so. And I don’t think so for the same reason that Khrushchev did in October 1962: because he would lose her outright. If Moscow has lost the conventional war with Ukraine, what would happen to it in a nuclear fight waged by the US? Every rail hub would disappear, like every troop concentration, like military bases. They have been observing by means of satellites for a long time. Satellites that are capable of distinguishing the factions of the outstanding officers, which allows them to assign them the importance they really have.
Naturally, France and England would destroy cities with more than 20,000 and less than 50,000 inhabitants, and then you would see how wise it was to create NATO, and how stupid Vladimir Putin was to indulge in a war that simply cannot win, contravening one of Sun Tzu’s wisest advice in The Art of War (“avoid battles in which it is impossible for you to win”) as is being seen with total clarity. Simultaneously, Israel would take the opportunity to suppress the Iranian nuclear threat and delay the emergence of that danger for another 20 years.
Is there someone to the right of Putin? Of course. There is always someone who is ready to attack leaders for not being extreme enough. Igor Girkin, a kind of “Scarlet Pimpernel”, but the reverse of fiction, denounces, whenever he can, Vladimir Putin and accuses him of betraying Mother Russia. Girkin calls himself “Stalkov” -a stalking gunman-, and has been declared on multiple occasions “hero of the Russian fatherland”, so it is impossible to rule out the denunciations of a person committed to destiny semi-independent from “Donetsk”, as is the case with Girkin. Sometimes it seems that Putin acts to please or resemble Girkin.
