The Ever Widening War by Paul Craig Roberts!

RT reports that the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service has concluded that the West is planning to prevent a Russian victory by sending 100,000 NATO troops to occupy Ukraine. "please see here:"

I doubt the 100,000 NATO soldiers will have any more success than the 600,000 dead Ukrainian ones, but the threat of deploying NATO soldiers is more proof that I was correct that President Putins slow-moving limited military operation would provide endless time for the West to get involved and progressively widen the conflict until it is spun out of control.

We are now at that point with insane Washington,D.C., Britain, and France striking Russia with missiles and planning to deploy troops. All of this could have been avoided if President Putin had done what every commander should have done and struck hard and fast to quickly end the conflict.

President Putin preferred the goody two-shoes role, and the consequence was that the West was convinced that Russia was too weak or too lacking in confidence to win if the West backed Ukraine.

President Putin has let the gradual widening of the conflict go on for three years, and the world has been brought face-to-face with the possibility of nuclear war.

To avoid it, President Putin has to carefully craft his response to Western missile attacks on Russia and to give advance warning so that enemies in the target area are not killed. These are not responses that the West will find convincing.

President Putin is correct to refrain from any decisive action until Donald Trump is in office as there is some hope that Donald Trump is not part of the neoconservative agenda of defeating Russia and discrediting Putin with the Russian people.

There is the danger, however, that the Biden regime will use the time prior to Trumps inauguration to so poison United States-Russian relations as to make any agreement impossible.

My concern from the beginning of the conflict has been that sooner or later President Putin would have to really fight or surrender.

It seems that the only remaining hope of avoiding a devastating war is Trump. Can he control his bluster? Can he accept the fact that the conflict is Washington,D.C.s fault and accept Putins victory? Can he succeed in defining victory as peace and not victory over Russia on the battlefield? If not, it is up to Putin to surrender, or end times will be at hand.

This extraordinary danger could have been avoided if Putin had disposed of the puppet government in Kiev before the West had time to get involved in the military conflict. A Russian demonstration of crushing force in itself would have served as a deterrent to the provocations, Putins weak response to which has brought the conflict to the brink of war between the West and Russia.
