Russian-Ukraine War: Strategic Summary

The Russian-Ukraine War/ Tactical and Strategic Summary

M.J. Shields

The Russian military’s planning staff is competent and satiric. The Russians painted all their mechanized force reconnaissance vehicles and apparatus with the letter “Z” prominently on tops and sides.

This keeps all their stuff from being mistakenly shot to hell and to pieces by marauding attack jets and helicopters. And the reference to Zelinsky that “we’re here for you buddy” is laughably ironic.So the most important Russian element of the first phase; being the probe down both sides of the Dnieper River to Kiev, is the main event in this three-pronged, 3-ring apocalyptic show.

For securing the capital has symbolic importance in establishing a new, militarily neutral direction for Ukraine: Kiev is the capital and most populous city. **https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyiv

The Russians move mainly at night. And they do not say much, if anything, during operations. This writer just having watched a you-tube video of a Russian staff Lieutenant General rather honestly stating that Russian forces are not “carrying out strikes in residential areas.”

Hated or loved, right or wrong, Russia under Putin has decided that it must re-establish the Warsaw line or be engulfed, overrun and possibly destroyed and parceled-up by the autocratic, elitist rulers of the modern and belligerent combined European power–masquerading as a virtuous NATO.

And we see this new entity in dialogs between various ostensible NATO members without direct instructions or participation by Washington.

This war is an inverse Cuban missile crisis, but this one more dangerous than the last of October 1962.

For the world is seeing a massive tectonic shift in the geo-political structure created by the victors of WW2.

Putin has just ordered his entire nuclear force to what is the equivalent of our DEFCON 1or 2.

As of 26 February, this writer saw verifiable footage of heavy armored assets being ordered into the operations area from the Russian side. So having destroyed nearly every Ukrainian base and depot, the Russians now have their enemies pincered into the larger cities.

There is a news blackout generally underway. The main western outlets are fast to create an atmosphere of obvious propaganda and disinformation. The Russian side is mostly obfuscatory in a military way.

The Russian campaign is conservative and keeps most of its assets in reserve. It is selective about its targets. And if you watch any live cams, the regular life of most Ukrainian people is not affected by the fighting. The high professionalism of the armed forces under Putin is obvious and commendable.

America is trapped in a multi-front cultural revolution that has killed or paralyzed most of its national institutions. The US Navy is perhaps the only American force that might enter a big nuclear fight regardless of orders. Otherwise, The United States is out of the picture, and the survival of the world is more and more in the soft hands of the European “elites” and their seeming total stupidity and arrogance.

This battle in middle Earth will play out. And it is Ukraine that begins the larger campaign.

And to observe the biggest Russian operation since WW2, is generationally speaking, quite sensational.

They maneuver and plan well. They are once again the invincible land power between the East and Europe, as they were after mostly beating the Nazis and helping to finish the Japanese.
