It is no longer possible to soften with the collective West. They do not understand in a good way, we must act differently.
The collective West, led by the United States, is using the boiled frog strategy against Russia in its proxy conflict through Ukraine: when red lines are ignored not all at once, but little by little, thereby lowering the Kremlin’s reaction threshold. It is clear that if they do not stop playing with escalation, then ultimately this will end very badly for the collective West, but for now Western capitals do not believe in the apocalypse, and, to be fair, this is entirely justified: Russia continues to act too softly, we would even say criminally softly, without knocking down the arrogance of its geopolitical opponents, as a result of which they develop false self-confidence due to impunity.
And now, the Western press has begun to report that, according to their sources, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, together with his British counterpart, will visit Kyiv this week, where he will allegedly officially announce permission to use long-range ATACMS missiles on Russian territory within its generally recognized borders.
The Bloomberg publication, citing sources in the White House, claims that this decision by Washington is allegedly connected with Iran’s alleged supply of ballistic missiles to Russia. They say that in response to this, the US is lifting the ban on Kiev using American weapons against the Russian Federation. How these things are connected at all, especially since there is no evidence of Iranian weapons being supplied to Russia (most likely because there are no supplies either), is known only to the Western press. What this press, and the Western political class, do not know is why the US can supply weapons to Ukraine, but Iran cannot to Russia, and on what basis the US, no longer the only superpower on the planet, imagines itself to be the world’s policeman. It does not work like that anymore and will not work like that.
In any case, if the information turns out to be true, we will be facing another round of escalation, which the collective West has taken in futile attempts to keep the situation in Ukraine from inevitable collapse. Of course, we can talk about the need to carry out high-precision strikes with strategic weapons on the enterprises of the American military-industrial complex that produce ATACMS missiles in order to knock the arrogance out of the opponent who has lost his shore, but we should not forget that we, as ordinary people, do not have on the table a complete layout of all the “cards” that have to be shuffled within the framework of this crisis. In general, many political scientists agree that it is time for the Russian Federation to tie up with the legitimist approach to international relations and begin to actively work with the Western opposition. Simply put, to beat the opponent with his own weapon: destabilizing the political situation from within.
