The Russians keep dashing Western hopes of coups and internal turmoil. From Pepe Escobar at strategic-culture.org:
The main problem faced by Russia is not the Hegemon and NATO: it’s domestic, Pepe Escobar writes.
The secret of a perfect psyop is that no one really understands it.
A perfect psyop accomplishes two tasks: it renders the enemy dazed and confused while achieving a set of very important goals.
It goes without saying that sooner rather than later we should see the real goals emerging out of the strategic play in Russia I described as The Longest Day.
The Longest Day may or may not have been a larger than life psyop.
To clear the fog, let’s start with a roundup of the usual “winner” suspects.
First one is undoubtedly Belarus. Due to the priceless mediation of Old Man Luka, Minsk is now gifted with the most experienced army in the world: the Wagner musicians, masters of conventional (Libya, Ukraine) and non-conventional (Syria, Central African Republic) war.
That is already inflicting the Fear of Hell in NATO, which is suddenly facing in its eastern flank a super pro army, very well equipped, and de facto uncontrollable, and on top of it hosted by a nation now equipped with nuclear weapons.
Simultaneously, Russia props up dissuasion on its western front. Like clockwork that is leading NATOstan to invest in ballooning military budgets (with funds it doesn’t have). That process happens to be a key plank of Russian strategy since at least March 2018.
And as an extra bonus Russia creates a 24/7 threat to the whole of Kiev’s northern front.
Not bad for a “mutiny”.
Surovikin is more of a defender.
Had to save that 2 minute video of him sitting there with a suppressed SMG waiting for anyone to bust in and ordering Prigo to stand down.
Notice they can’t get past his lines of defense.
BTW-Where is our General Armageddon to reveal all weaknesses and correct the situation?
