January 1, Kremlin Issues Grim Warning: “Catastrophic for All Mankind”

Published

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
2017: Islamic State headquarters Raqqa declared under full control of US-led alliance by Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) spokesman Talal Sello after 4 months of fighting.

A top Russian official issued a blunt warning, saying that any further meddling in Ukraine by Western powers would ignite a third World War — one that “will be catastrophic for all mankind.”

Specifically, the Kremlin official said that if NATO were to approve Ukraine’s request to join, it “would mean a guaranteed escalation to a World War III.”

“Kyiv is well aware that such a step would mean a guaranteed escalation to a World War III,” said Alexander Venediktov, the deputy secretary of Russia’s Security Council.

Ahead of Venediktov’s grim prediction, a senior NATO official said that if Russia were to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine, it would almost certainly be met with a “physical response” from Ukraine’s allies. Similarly, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin affirmed that the U.S. was “committed to defending every inch of NATO’s territory.”

Venediktov posited that such “dangerous” comments were being made because “in the West, fewer and fewer people remember what war is.”

“For some reason, many believe that a nuclear war can be waged locally,” he said. “We must remember: A nuclear conflict will affect absolutely the whole world — and not only Russia and the collective West, but in general any country on this planet.”

He added the ominous warning: “Its consequences will be catastrophic for all mankind.”

    The war in Ukraine was and is a CIVIL WAR in a MULTINATIONAL LAND:
    There are no “Ukrainian Nationals”! There are Western Ukrainian Nationalists versus Eastern and Odessa ethnic Russians.
    The Eastern Ukraine, from Charkov down to the Krym was never part of Ukraine. The name “Ukraine” (at the border) was given by Poland to the Western stretches and just along the Dnepr which they occupied for centuries – from whence comes also the new “Ukrainian” – a Ukro-Polish Creole
    The Eastern parts were only given to the FIRST UKRAINE STATE, 1918, BY THE GERMAN ARMY who drew the frontline for its Truce with Soviet Russia. THIS GERMAN GIFT ALSO INCLUDED THE POLISH REGION OF GALICIA, AROUND LVOV – which was in WWI and II ETHNICALLY CLEANSED from Poles and Jews by our friends, the Ukrainian Nationalists. The Westerners were for centuries under Polish occupation – for which they took brutal Genocidal Revenge – but kept the former “Masters’ Language” intermixed with their original Eastern Slavonic of the Kievan Rus and Russia
    All the Nationalist theories and leaders came from the Lvov area, also influenced by Italo-Croatian Fascism, which made their collaboration with the German occupiers in World War II a natural cooperative alliance.
    It followed the earlier collaboration with German occupation in WWI, when the German Army Command first added Polish Galicia and Russian DonBass to Ukraine, to draw the line of the German-Russian Truce of 1917 -keeping the industry out of the new Soviet Russia. And when the first big “Ethnic Clearances” happened, under the Hetman Petlyura, it was that time only in Polish Galicia.
    The ratios of the nations in Ukraine are now: Ukro-Polish 45-50%, Russian, 40%, the rest Hungarian, Rumanian, Bulgarian – plus some Tartars and Roma (“Gypsies” – who were, after 2014 often stripped half-naked and tied to trees/lampposts).
    Taking all that into account – which gives the REFERENDA in the Russian-populated regions good sense and legitimacy – the main question should be:
    CAN UKRAINE CONTINUE TO EXIST WITH ALL THIS EXPLOSIVE CONFLICT?
    The only sensible solution I can see is:
    NO! THERE MUST BE A SEPARATION FOR, AT LEAST, 10 YEARS! followed by an
    ATTEMPT OF RE-UNIFICATION ON A FEDERAL BASIS which would include a re-organized Western and Central Ukraine with the Federal States of
    – GALICIA, VOLYNIA, CENTRAL UKRAINE, the Federal Government District of KIEV plus- -CHARKOV-LUHANSK, DONETSK-ZAPOROZHIE, KHERSON-ODESSA.
    These regions are mainly Russian-populated – have never been “Ukrainian”, i.e. Polish-occupied (as the term ‘Ukraina-Borderland’ came from the Polish occupiers.)
    [-KRYM would not be included, as a land cannot be given as “present”, including its people – Khrushchev’s “gift” of 1954 was illegal, as was Ukraine’s invasion and re-conquest after 1991.]
    Such a ‘UKRAINIAN FEDERATION Would be the only feasible and rational solution of this conflict!
    It could, however, only be achieved, if all false nationalist ideologies were abandoned – and that is, after their re-appearance, under the brutal, racist Bandera-banner, in several armed organizations, e.g., Asov, Aidar, et al., not realistic, at this moment.
    Other Obstacles: OUTSIDER INTERESTS
    The Russian Interests are, in two ways, very logical and even moral:
    • Russia does not want to be put into a “Siege Situation” surrounded by hostile powers right on her doorstep. See a parallel in the US-opposition to Soviet missiles on Cuba in 1962!
    • Russia feels a duty to protect ‘relatives’ – i.e. ethnically, culturally, and language-wise Russian people, as well as other nations in the Russian Federation, as has been shown before in Georgia, when South Ossetians came under relentless artillery-fire.
    The Western, i.e., US and NATO interests were utterly commercial and “imperialist”, and instrumental in creating this Civil War, as a tool for producing a PROXY WAR between Russia and the European States are another block on the way to peace in this region – although the main aims of President Obama’s intervention in Ukrainian Internal Affairs, e.g. the Presidential succession in Kiev, have already been achieved, as they were analyzed from the past 8 years and finally formulated by the RAND Corporation laid down in their Government advice of 25 January 2022 (just before the onslaught in Donetsk) :
    • The German-Russian Cooperation on the basis of energy supply and industrial trade has been destroyed.
    • Any, quasi, Russian membership in the EU -as indicated as wish by Mr. Putin in 2001- has also been destroyed for long times;
    • Therefore, Germany, France, and the European Union have catapulted themselves, through participation in this proxy-war, back into a pre-1990 situation, economically and politically;
    • Germany, France and the European Union are back, fully entrapped in NATO.
    • Any plans of a, independent ‘European Defense Farce’ is dead!

    • Russia has been pushed out of Europe and become part of Asia – which may be good for the Ruble and for Asia, with regards to oil and gas, in general: energy exchanges, as with regards to other valuable commodities, esp. in ‘Electrically Controlled Systems’, as Russia has the richest sources of Lithium and Rare Earths;
    • From this aspect, the EU may find grounds for deep regret about this senseless war;
    • Even the United States may feel regret about this Obama-style Adventurism.
    Taking all this into account, it should be clear that a good and sensible end to this war could be easily reached – as Elon Musk argued recently, for which he deserves great praise:
    • Freezing the frontlines – respecting the borders of the Oblasts (Districts) to be occupied by NEUTRAL peacekeeping forces!
    • Repeat of Referenda (using 2014 civil registries for voter recognition!) under UN Control!
    • Setting up Federal States throughout Ukraine – but with West-East Separation, until renewed State-wise Referenda on Re-Unification and Constitution.

      You sir, are an idiot.
      A truly stupid person. WTF are we doing in Ukraine anyway? No one gives a fk about Ukaine, and you are pushing for nuclear WWIII over that piece of shit deep state stronghold? The only reason Let’s Go Brandon is sending Billions of our money there is so that they can continue to cover up their crimes.

      Sounds good but in reality it would be like taking out one cockroach in an infested house. You’d have to destroy all of them. So, destroy a whole country??? I don’t think so. Evil will always be with us, it’s also here, at home, in the USA.

    Putin is getting desperate. Is he really willing to destroy his own country by starting a nuclear conflict to make a point?
