analysis World War III

[oldtimer]

I believe that President Biden was right when he said that Russia is going to Invade Ukraine.

Any intelligent person is going to come to the same conclusion knowing that Russia has already decided to pay any price imposed on it by the West through sanctions.

Short of full military confrontation by the West there is nothing that can make Russia to change its mind as they see this as a golden opportunity to resurrect the once powerful superpower that was equal to the USA.

But Russia’s ambitions are not going to stop with taking over Ukraine since it already has made plans to increase its sphere of influence to Asia, Middle East, and South America and perhaps the whole World knowing that the West is most likely not going to do anything beyond just imposing sanctions which ultimately will hurt the West itself by effecting the Global economy in an adverse way the longer that they go on.

I personally don’t like any of the old ideologies, philosophies, and doctrines of Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Religious Fundamentalism and all the other “ism” that are derived from the bad human characteristics of Greed, Lust, Hate, Cruelty, Jealousy, Prejudice, and lack of Empathy and that have been infringing on our rights in one way or another throughout the history because they can only exist through supporting inequality, oppression, suppression, torture, killing, and War.

When it comes to saving the World the last thing that I want to see is the further expansion of these old systems that have all already proven to be a failure in dealing with the existential problems that are currently facing Humanity and the Environment.

We don’t want all these political, Religious, and Racial parties and groups to resurrect their past, we want something new that can propel the World into the next Era that is based on the Universal Principles and Values that have been derived through Logic and Compassion and not through Force and Violence.

By “We” I mean all the Intelligent, Righteous, and Peace loving people of the World.

Miracles can happen, but it requires everyone to stop living in the past and open their minds to all the new possibilities that the future has to offer.

That is a future that is based on the Universal Principles and Values that are derived through Logic and Compassion which can make it possible for everyone to come out of bondage and be able to live a safe, secure, productive, righteous, healthy, and happy life.

IMO

The only I am doing is praying , and with all my soul. The rest will be what it is meant to be.

Further Analysis and predictions of future events as I see it:

In my opinion at this time the declaration of Independence for the two pro Russian regions in the Eastern Ukraine is going to conclude any further military actions by Russia provided that Ukraine does not take any offensive actions in the coming days.

I also believe that at this time the highest priority for Russia is going to be to establish several permanent military bases in the two Independent States and Belarus in addition to what it already has in Crimea. Although offensive military actions by Russia most likely have already come to an end (absent provocations by Ukraine) but the likelihood of non military invasions in the form of political interventions should now be a major cause for concern for all the East European Countries as Russia most likely is going to do its best to change any unfriendly regimes in that region.

Also in my opinion at this time Russia does not necessarily want to control all the geographical expanse of its old empire, but rather most likely prefers to bring together all the pro Russian people in Eastern Europe as the ultimate goal for Russia is to become a more powerful but Modern Country rather than one that has to deal with a lot of unruly regions.

I also believe that at this time normalization of relations with Russia is more important for the West than trying to keep the existing geographical borders in the region and as such I don’t believe that there are going to be any severe sanctions against Russia despite what is being said publicly.

Russia has the power and unlike NATO has shown that it's willing to use it and so in the long run I predict that either Russia will be accepted as a friendly European Country or that it will eventually take over Europe.

IMO

Some more analysis:

I believe that all sides should be counting their blessings if this situation stops where it is now as far as any invasion staying limited just to the Donbas region.

At this time perhaps it's in everyone’s interest for NATO to accept the two Independent States, after all NATO has to take some responsibility for allowing the situation in Ukraine to get so serious in the past 8 years and now should be careful not to be fanning the flames anymore by putting Russia in a situation that it will have no choice but to strike back at a much greater scale.

For the West to keep pushing Russia’s back to the wall any further by wanting to destroy its economy is going to put this situation at more risk of escalation as Russia might hit back by disrupting the World oil supplies in the Middle East which then surely will bring the World to a much bigger War than what the diplomats are trying to defuse in Ukraine.

Everyone should thread carefully going forward as to not to make this situation much worse than what it already is as Russia is not another third World country that can be punished by the West as it also has the capabilities and more importantly the will to punish Europe in return.

IMO

 

[oldtimer]

In the interest of keeping the World Peace I believe that the two newly independent States in the larger Donbas region should be accepted as the new reality on the ground in order to prevent a larger military confrontation in the Ukraine which without direct intervention by NATO forces will most likely result in total destruction of Ukraine.

If there is any chances for 11th hour diplomacy to prevent this slaughter and bloodshed I believe that all sides have a duty to work towards taking the peaceful way out of this situation before many innocent people are killed in the coming days.

It would be considered a crime against Humanity for NATO to sit on the sidelines while sending thousands of innocent Ukrainian people to their deaths just to preserve Europe's cold war mentality.

Putin has the war he wanted. Scary times.

Putin and Russia have officially invaded Ukraine .. you folks will see soon that all of this really has nothing to do with Ukraine , it’s just a justification for Russia to get started and be able to mobilize in the region.. by the USA and NATO telling Putin they are going to essentially break Russia , expect the worst and hope for the best

 

[oldtimer]

Our prayers are with all the people in that region.

Let's hope that this operation ends within hours and that there will be the least amount of casualties.

Putin is not after Ukraine, only a hand full of people within it , 70% of Ukraine supports Russia , they are born Russians . Putin is not looking to kill his own people at all..

You will see as more unfolds .

This won’t end until the complete agenda is accomplished , if not accomplished , I expect nukes balls to the walls , people make choices , perhaps this is the last chance to make the right one.

That all depends on if the Ukraine Government puts up a fight or not, if it does there is going to be a great number of casualties. Although perhaps Russia could minimize the number of casualties by informing Ukraine of where it is going to hit ahead of time.

NATO could have prevented the expansion of Russia's military operations into the whole Country by accepting the two newly Independent States in the east couple of days ago which would have also reduced the risk of having a lot of casualties now, but not only that NATO didn't do that they actually caused Russia to become more concerned about its security to the point that Russia now wants to invade so much further into Ukraine.

Although Russia's political ambitions go beyond Ukraine, but I believe that for now it will keep its military operations limited to just Ukraine. (This could have been kept limited to just the Donbas region if NATO had taken the right steps in the last few days to settle this situation through diplomacy.)

IMO

More analysis:

In my opinion all these Sanctions are useless,

It only pushes Russia to become more self contained and self sustaining which will eventually end up making it totally independent from the Western economy.

This will make Russia immune to any future sanctions and considering that Russia has already shown that it's willing to go all the way when it comes to using its power that will put Russia in a much stronger position in the future to punish Europe.

That's why that taking the right steps to defuse this situation through diplomacy is still of such importance .

WW3 ?
Nothing will happen
Russian forces brake ( enter ) on NATO space & nothing happen
No one tell to Biden

 

[.X.]

We are in the most delicate - sensitive position the world has ever seen as far as Nuclear war, it could jump off at any time right now , it wouldn’t take much at all. I don’t expect Putin to back down at any point , Putin is all in .

 

[.X.]

WW3 ?
Nothing will happen
Russian forces brake ( enter ) on NATO space & nothing happen
No one tell to Biden

You have to remember , Biden is half unconscious all the time , Kamala Harris couldn’t manage a grocery store , but we are in good hands

 

[.X.]

Although there is a big enough risk of this conflict escalating into a much bigger War, but there are also other scenarios that can unfold within the next 10 days that can not be written off yet:

1- A peaceful solution might be reached through diplomatic channels to defuse the current situation by taking Russia's security concerns more seriously and giving it some of the reassurances and guarantees that it seeks.

2- A limited military reposturing might take place by the West as NATO forces enter the western Ukraine in order to take a stronger stand against Russia taking over the whole Ukraine and a buffer Zone might be created between Eastern and Western Ukraine to keep them separated.

3- Russia will only invades the Pro Russian regions and not advance any further which is what the West was expecting from the very beginning when they indicated that a limited invasion might be acceptable to them.

IMO

If NATO enters the region I suspect pure hell breaks lose. If any Allies join the conflict I feel WWlll will be eminent , any moves by anyone right now could start the end of the world IMO

 

[Armageddon]

NATO space meaning any types of borders ( sea , land , air )
So i think russians enter on NATO space but no one notice ( according to maps )

I agree , They will enter NATO territories , NATO will do nothing about it , NATO is somewhat depleted militarily just as the US is , the one thing that can change everything in possible moments notice? If Russia is cut off from the “ The Swift Payment System” that is the international monetary system , that would essentially Break Russia and the Russian people … now should that happen ? Russia could turn to China or Iran for monetary conversion , I don’t expect that though , I think If “Swift” is cut from Russia , Putin will react and act decisively and promptly

Russia has smelled fear and weaknesses in Europe and now is on the prowl.

This whole thing has been mishandled by NATO from the very beginning by them threatening a major power like Russia instead of trying to come to some kind of a compromise in order to defuse this dangerous situation.

In my opinion it’s a mistake to put Russia in a situation that is going to force it to lash back in return. I have been hesitant to use the Nuke word thus far, but if Russia finds itself in a corner it could use its supersonic missiles on a limited scale to target uninhabited places like oilfields, shipping lanes, and major pipelines or power lines which will cripple the World economy.

At this time I believe that the West should do everything in its power to salvage the previous diplomatic talks and try to keep this situation contained to just Ukraine.

IMO

I am agree with you but...what supersonic missile ?
They have tanks for 1945

One thing I have learned about Putin is that he is a critical thinker , I think Putin mapped out his agenda very well , he has no intentions of pulling back or he wouldn’t have went into Ukraine , I expect some cyber warfare in near days ahead , cyber warfare can be infrastructure attacks on a country or countries , this could be just as bad as military bombings in some cases , there is a lot more to this than meets the eye , I don’t think there is any way that Putin goes down without being behind the Nuclear machine with the codes and firing , world leaders better get together and find a solution , and fast too

We all know that things can escalate to no end,

but the question now is how to prevent it from getting there.

It doesn't look like deterrence through sanctions is working,

NATO has to make some serious compromises and make them fast if there is going to be any chances of defusing this situation or at least containing it to just the Ukraine regions.

IMO
