For 17 months I’ve warned that the Kremlin’s unwillingness to make use of adequate drive to convey the battle in Ukraine to a conclusion is widening the conflict. Now we hear from Col. Douglas Macgregor {that a} Polish division is being readied for deployment in Ukraine.
“Warsaw, whose management of NATO’s anti-Russian campaign is prized in Washington, finds consolation within the Beltway’s perception in Russian navy weak point. A lot so, that Warsaw appears prepared to danger direct confrontation with Moscow. Based on French sources in Warsaw, if Ukrainian forces are pushed again, ‘the Poles might introduce the primary division this 12 months, which is able to embrace the Poles, the Balts, and a sure variety of Ukrainians.’
“Now, Washington is misjudging Moscow. The Russian nationwide command authorities might properly assume that Warsaw’s actions align with Washington’s intentions. President Biden’s government order to increase hazard pay to American troopers at present serving in Ukraine (who usually are not imagined to be there) little question reinforces this opinion.
“However it’s way more probably that the Polish tail needs to wag the American canine. The Poles know their navy intervention in historic Galician Ukraine will provoke a navy response from each Belarus and Russia, however Warsaw additionally causes that Washington’s air and floor forces in Europe are unlikely to take a seat quietly in Ukraine, Romania, and the Baltic littoral whereas Polish forces combat a shedding battle.”
Col. Magregor agrees with me {that a} wider conflict is within the playing cards until Moscow closes down the battle.
“America’s proxy conflict with Russia has reworked Ukraine right into a graveyard. Indulging Poland’s ardour for conflict with Russia encourages Poland to observe the Ukrainian instance. The very thought should go away Moscow no alternative however to convey all of Russia’s navy energy to bear concurrently towards Ukraine, earlier than the collective West stumbles into regional conflict. Make peace, you fools, earlier than it’s too late.”
I discover it disturbing, or ought to I say scary, that the Kremlin is incapable of studying Washington and thinks by holding Russian intervention to the Russian components of Ukraine that the Kremlin is sending the West reassuring indicators. The West’s intentions towards Russia are proof against Russian reassurances.
