Bạn đọc thân mến, tôi đã giải thích với các bạn rằng không có trận thua nào của Nga ở Ukraine và sẽ không phải là trận thua của Nga. Tôi đã thông báo với các bạn rằng Putin và Điện Kremlin cam kết thực hiện một điều quan trọng giúp phân biệt Nga với Mỹ và đó là Nga tuân theo luật pháp quốc tế còn Mỹ thì không. Đây là lý do tại sao không có "cuộc xâm lược của Nga vào Ukraine" như các nhà tuyên truyền phương Tây tuyên bố. Kiev, hoạt động của chính phủ Ukraine, và các thành phố và cơ sở hạ tầng của miền tây Ukraine không bị tấn công.
Điện Kremlin đã hạn chế các hoạt động quân sự của mình ở các khu vực ở Ukraine, nơi phần lớn dân số Nga đang bị pháo kích, chiếm đóng và sát hại bởi các lực lượng Ukraine và nơi đã phải đối mặt với cuộc xâm lược của một lượng lớn quân đội Ukraine do phương Tây huấn luyện và các dân quân tân phát xít có ý định lật đổ hai nước cộng hòa Donbass độc lập được chính phủ Nga công nhận. Các nước cộng hòa đã yêu cầu sự can thiệp của Nga, điều này làm cho “hoạt động quân sự hạn chế” trở thành hợp pháp theo luật pháp quốc tế.
A Fateful Moment of History Is Upon Us
Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

Dear Readers, I have explained to you that there has been no Russian defeat in Ukraine and will not be a Russian defeat. I informed you that Putin and the Kremlin are committed to one important thing that differentiates Russia from the US and that is that Russia follows international law and the US does not. This is why there has been no “Russian invasion of Ukraine” as proclaimed by Western propagandists. Kiev, the functioning of the Ukraine government, and the cities and infrastructure of western Ukraine have not been attacked.
The Kremlin has limited its military operations to the areas in Ukraine where the majority Russian population was being shelled, occupied, and murdered by Ukrainian forces and which faced last February an invasion of a large Western-trained Ukrainian army and neo-Nazi militias intended to overthrow the two independent Donbass republics recognized by the Russian government. The republics requested Russia’s intervention, which made the “limited military operation” legal under international law.
As my readers know, I regard the limited operation a mistake as it has drawn out the conflict and allowed the West to get deeply involved, thus promising a wider war that would likely turn nuclear. I thought and still do that Russia was emphasizing legality at the risk of nuclear war.
The Kremlin has now acted to remove the constraint of international law with the referendums in the four areas whether the inhabitants wish reunification with Russia. It is clear that the vote will be yes, and that the Duma and the Kremlin will proceed rapidly to reincorporate the former Russian territory back into Russia.
At that point Ukraine’s continuation of the war involves direct Ukrainian aggression against Russia herself. This frees the Kremlin’s hands as the war becomes Russia’s response to Ukrainian aggression. At this point it will be clear to all involved that Kiev, the Ukraine government, and the cities and infrastructure of western Ukraine no longer have immunity. In other words it becomes a real war with devastating consequences for Ukraine and possibly as well for all Western suppliers of weapons and intelligence.
Americans are not prepared for this, because all they have heard about the conflict is Russophobic propaganda and false reporting of the reality.
Larry Johnson, an honest and competent commentator, repeats this account and adds that the West lacks the capacity to produce weapons and ammunition on the scale demanded by a full war and that the European economies are facing shutdowns as the consequent of US sanctions against Russia. The message is that the US/NATO have no means of preventing a rapid Russian conquest of Ukraine except by resort to nuclear war, in which case the Western World will cease to exist.
That we could be in this extremely dangerous position is due to the total absence in the West of an honest and independent media and of honest and competent Russian experts. Essentially, there is no intelligence in the West among those making decisions and no accurate information getting through to the Western populations.
I and a few others have made huge efforts, but we are called “conspiracy theorists,” “Russian agents/dupes,” and other names used to discredit those who actually understand the reality of the situation. The growing restraints on what can be said, or if said paid attention to, has created massive ignorance as we come to a possible fateful moment in history.
Here is Larry Johnson: MORE ON THE REFERENDUM GAME CHANGER.
