WHY RUSSIA WILL NOT CONCLUDE THE WAR IN UKRAINE YET

 Here is some trivia. The Germans sent 30 Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine which were said to be the most powerful tanks in the world and would win the war. All 30 German Leopard 2 tanks have been destroyed within one month of showing up at the front lines.

The British are much cleverer. The British have sent 14 of their Challenger 2 tanks to Ukraine but with strict conditions attached. The Challenger tanks must NOT be used in front line combat and each Challenger tank must be accompanied by a recovery tank in case the Challenger is hit by enemy fire ! Truth is stranger than fiction.

Why Russia will not conclude the war yet? The reason is simple - if the Russians conclude the war now, meaning they defeat Ukraine and run over the entire territory, then all the sanctions against Russia will remain and may even be prolonged. Russia does not want to give any more excuse for the sanctions to be prolonged. This is not only for the benefit of Russia but for the benefit of Germany - which is the real target of this British-American War in Ukraine.

Russia needs Germany not only as their largest trading partner in Europe but more importantly as a friend and security partner in Europe.

The German chancellor Olaf Schulz has become a real weasel doing all the bidding of the British and the Americans. Schulz has completely ignored the British-American bombing of the Nordstream gas pipeline which is now crippling his country. My view is Olaf Schulz will one day be tried in a German court and sentenced to jail for treason.

Life in Germany and Austria has become very difficult. Here is Survival Lilly (Elisabeth Putignam)  with a short video on the situation in Europe. Lilly is Austrian.

So Russia is prolonging the war to give more time for the growing protests and unhappiness in western Europe against the conduct of this war and against the money and arms provided by Europe - again at the bidding of the British and the Americans. Remember the real culprits behind this war are the Brits.  

If there were elections in France and Germany today there will be changes in government in those countries.  Other than removing the sanctions and restoring free trade with Europe (particularly with Germany) the Russians will also want security guarantees that NATO will not expand to their border with Ukraine.

Let me make a prediction. The British will abandon Ukraine as well. You mess with the British and the Americans and this is what will happen to you.
