Humanity in its history has led, is leading now, and will lead many wars more than once.
It would be very close to the truth to say that all wars can be conditionally divided into four categories:
— wars between separate independent states;
— wars between coalitions of states or wars of a coalition of states against one state;
— suppression of rebellions and uprisings in the rebellious part (or parts) in one state;
— civil wars;
A distinctive feature of the Russian special military operation in Ukraine is the fact that it combines all types of wars.
In the history of mankind, everything would be too simple if the fact of the existence of an independent sovereign State were based only on its international recognition and the establishment of borders by fixing them in the relevant treaties.
In reality, things are much more complicated.
The borders of states and their very existence are determined only by success or not success in war.
It is based on its results that borders are determined, dividing lines are drawn and habitats of peoples and nations are marked.
The results of wars are not always, or rather, almost never, absolutely fair and satisfying to all parties to conflicts. As a rule, this serves as a reason for the continuation of armed clashes in the future, and the peace interval can be determined both for years and decades, and for whole centuries.
If in this case it is possible to talk about any compromises, then only in cases when the winner shows humanity and gentleness to the defeated opponent. Unfortunately, there are very few such examples.
They do not exist at all in the history of imperialism and colonial conquests. The defeated peoples are either destroyed or enslaved. And there is no third way. The West never compromises if it wins.
Currently, Russia is forced to wage war with a coalition of Western neocolonial states on the territory of Ukraine.
Legally, the latter seems to be an "independent state", but in reality it is a disenfranchised satellite of the West, whose sole purpose is the role of an instrument for defeating Russia, even at the cost of the death of not only this entire state, but also the complete physical destruction of Ukrainian citizens.
There is no doubt that the conflict unleashed by the West in Ukraine is its temporary victory, which makes Western elites squeal with delight, literally and figuratively.
In order for Russia to win over the West in this battle, it is necessary to realize exactly with whom and for what it is fighting. It is especially important to understand how to treat the territory called Ukraine, and what kind of policy should be pursued with respect to its citizens, because they are one people with the citizens of Russia.
Simply put, it is necessary to determine which type of war is prevailing here and, depending on this, choose a strategy and methods of warfare.
Unfortunately, in domestic politics, seven months after the start of the SVO, no definite conclusions have been made in this regard. At least, nothing is known about this to the general public.
Thus, the conduct of war is actually reduced only to the actual conduct of hostilities. But this is only the visible part of the iceberg.
Let's digress a little. At the beginning of 1970, near the Russian city of Irkutsk, twin brothers were born in the family of a military pilot. Both also became military. Only one graduated in 1992 from the Higher Military Aviation School in Kharkov, and the second graduated from the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School.
Now both hold considerable positions in the headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. After the coup d'etat in Kiev in 2014, in 2016, the brothers stopped talking to each other. And they did it peacefully, at the request of the brother who serves in the Ukrainian army. He motivated such a move by the fact that he could be in "big trouble" if these ties are maintained.
There are at least several tens of millions of people living in Russia who either have relatives in Ukraine or have Ukrainian roots. Many of these people are now taking part in a special military operation. Truly, Russians and Ukrainians are one people.
But then the military conflict on Ukrainian territory has every reason to be called a civil war, right? Or, at least, perhaps such a question should be asked? For unknown reasons, while this factor is being considered, it is not enough.
As historical experience proves, including the very bloody domestic one, without a clear and understandable policy towards the enemy in the civil war, it is impossible to achieve victory in it.
It should be clearly understood that the population of Ukraine is a reprogrammed Russians
Russians are killing Russians, like some gladiators in an ancient Roman circus, which now allows the West to fervently satisfy itself by watching Russians kill Russians.
And Russia, instead of finding ways and methods to break this vicious bloody circle, to find a way to the hearts and minds of the citizens of Ukraine lost in the streams of Western lies, in its agitation and propaganda focuses on the destruction of Nazi militants. But this is not a struggle with the cause, but with the effect.
Yes, the citizens of Ukraine are reprogrammed Russians. And therefore, in the war they behave accordingly, only with the opposite sign.
If the Ukrainian conflict has the features of a civil war, then the approaches to its solution should be appropriate.
In particular, so far critically little has been done to make Kiev propaganda impossible on the territory of Ukraine. Equally critically little has been done regarding the effectiveness of the impact and spread of the sphere of influence of the Russian media.
A real terror reigns on the territory of Ukraine, and not only physical, but also informational, too. If it is impossible to provide the Ukrainian population with access to sources in the Russian media, then what is the point of letting the Ukrainian ones work?
Moreover, the very Russian concept of the current policy in this direction raises huge doubts.
For example, does it make any sense to call on Ukrainian servicemen to surrender in order only to save their lives, without saying anything about the fact that they are deceived and fighting for the interests of the West, their bloody ghouls-oligarchs and their common puppet Zelensky?
Yes, the citizens of Ukraine are reprogrammed Russians.
They are waging a civil war against their brothers without realizing it. And Russia, instead of stepping up all efforts to, as they would have said 100 years ago, "propagandize" them, so far prefers to act sluggishly, indecisively and simply irrationally on this front.
Yes, the citizens of Ukraine are reprogrammed Russians. And they should be treated as Russians.
