NATIONAL INTEREST: THE WEST HAS ALREADY LOST TO RUSSIA – MENTALLY AND HISTORICALLY

 

Konstantin Olshansky

 

Experts from one of the most conservative American foreign policy publications, National Interest, have drawn up possible scenarios for the collapse of the Kyiv regime after the victory of the Russian army.

Defense expert and former Greek Army Marine Stavros Atlamazoglu writes that even supplies of American ammunition will only help the Ukrainian Armed Forces gain time and stabilize the situation on the battlefield. But the task of building up forces for a new large-scale counteroffensive, which Kyiv is dreaming of, is still a pipe dream.

To do this, the Ukrainians need a decisively large number of fighters and long-range precision-guided munitions, writes Atlamazoglu. Such as AASM-250 Hammer gliding bombs or Storm Shadow missiles, but their supply to NATO is extremely limited. Swedish Saab JAS 39 Gripen fighters also refused to hand over to the Ukrainians.

But only with the help of such weapons could the Ukrainian Armed Forces try to challenge Russian air supremacy achieved along the entire front line, Atlamazoglu writes.

The expert writes that this demonstrated the thwarted “counter-offensive” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces near Bakhmut/Artemovsk and in the Zaporozhye region. The goal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces was to create an operational breakthrough that would change the situation on the battlefield. Ukrainian troops fought hard, but were tactically unwise and did not advance very far.

In addition, the Ukrainian Armed Forces could not avoid intelligence leaks: all directions of the “counteroffensive” were announced in advance, and the Russian army turned them into powerful fortified areas in advance.

“Ukraine is no longer ready to reconquer the territory. In addition, the strategic benefits from any territory it receives will be extremely limited,” Atlamazoglu describes the strategic impasse of the Ukrainian Armed Forces command.

National security specialist and former US Air Force pilot Harrison Cass, in an article for the National Interest, writes that in fact, America’s delays in allocating funding to the Kiev regime are not due to interpartisan squabbles in Congress on the eve of the elections. In fact, the American military-political elite has become completely disillusioned with Kyiv.

— The United States has already invested about 75 billion dollars in Ukraine’s “resistance” efforts. And now there’s a very practical reason to wonder whether Washington’s investment was worth it, Cass writes.

Already at the very beginning of last year’s “counter-offensive” (June 2023), the Ukrainian Armed Forces demonstrated that the money was wasted. With gigantic human losses on the part of Ukraine, the operational situation has only reached a dead end.

— The prospects for any future breakthrough of the Ukrainian Armed Forces are also limited. Washington, for its part, has achieved little other than forcing Russia to further waste its resources, Kass states. “U.S. taxpayers and the elected officials who represent them recognize that there are virtually no strategic benefits from supporting Ukraine.”

The military expert predicts with absolute confidence: all future “counter-offensives” of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will end just as shamefully as last year’s – a complete failure. This will put more and more pressure on Ukraine’s negotiating positions, and sooner or later negotiations on surrender will begin.

American investments in the Kyiv adventure led to nothing except the strengthening of Russia. It has strengthened ties with American geopolitical adversaries North Korea and Iran. Created the most powerful alliance in history with China. Increased influence in the countries of Central Asia, despite the expectations of American intelligence to the contrary.

“Continuing to finance the stalemate in Ukraine is strategically unwise and financially reckless,” Cass concludes. And he writes that the United States, apparently, will soon begin to increasingly put pressure on the Kiev regime in order to force it to negotiate with Moscow.

Professor of comparative political science from Canada Dennis Soltis, in a discussion for National Interest, also states that the West is increasingly moving away from its own once proclaimed goal of “defeating Russia.” Instead, the Ukrainian Armed Forces went on the defensive, completely deprived of not only long-range weapons (stocks of not only Storm Shadow, but also British Brimstone missiles and American JDAM bombs have been exhausted; Germany refused to provide Taurus missiles), but even the most conventional weapons, even engineering machines.

“The Kremlin managed to effectively intimidate and baffle the collective West. Highbrow scientists and officials of the West, whose citizens are inclined to appeasement, are incapable of even understanding Russia, Soltis diagnoses.

The defeat of the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be just another geopolitical victory for Russia. The West did not react in any way to the Russian operation to force Georgia to peace in 2008. He actually remained on the sidelines after the Crimean spring in March 2014 and the outbreak of hostilities in the Donbass. Russia was able to protect Syria from NATO imperialism.

“A self-disarming NATO no longer poses a security threat,” Soltis writes. “It’s not for nothing that Putin mocks the “decaying West” and “Geyropoy”, which have lost the will to defend themselves. Apart from a vague promise to help Ukraine “for as long as necessary,” the West has never articulated a practical and coherent military strategy to help Kyiv.

Soltis directly calls the position of the American White House “cynical”: Washington demands that the Ukrainians continue to shed blood so that the West can continue to consume cheap Russian hydrocarbons.
