I try to not get caught up in the day to day stuff because most of whats coming out from the West is total propaganda, and there is little coming from the Russian side which also is likely propaganda .
On March 1 I made this prediction
“I predict Ukraine will become divided into East and West Ukraine. West Ukraine will join NATO and Putin will accept this as East Ukraine will be his buffer. Russia will be left to deal with chronic insurgencies in East Ukraine while suffering economic hardships due to trade disruption caused by sanctions.”
I think its pretty clear something like this is happening. It clearly makes no sense for Putin to liberate the Donbas and trust the existing Ukraine puppet government to denazify and honor an agreement to exclude NATO membership as well as accept the loss of the Donbas and Crimea. This would just be risking having to repeat the invasion once Ukraine breaks their commitments under pressure from US
It only makes sense that Russia will want a buffer, which seems likely to be between the existing borders up to the Dnieper river in the West. Putin will set up a puppet Government or Governments depending how they break it up. Russia would likely set up Russian bases which would recruit locally to man them
As for Kiev, I don’t know, maybe they agree to make it into Jerusalem or Berlin and either split it in two or share it, or they break it off completely from the West which will no doubt move its capitol to Lviv
In the end I think what was Ukraine in 1991-2013 will be completely Balkanized.
Whether the Nationalists will be allowed to govern the area West of the Dnieper river (except in the South up to Odessa) is not known. It might be Balkanized itself or perhaps Poland (and NATO) grabs some of the West.
In the end we will have an awful lot of disgruntled neo-nazi militants who will become the New Al Qaeda.
This assumes no madman starts WW III. In 2019 they a ran a NATO -Russia War simulation after a Russia invasion of Ukraine showing up to 1 billion deaths could occur (around the same time as Event 201)
Is it possible to have a WW III without nuclear weapons? Frankly, I doubt the Elite on either side has a death wish. Life is too good, so yes, maybe. But this assumes neither side tries to win anything more than Ukraine, or Taiwan/Philippines for that matter (if China gets involved).
Remember, one of the major objectives of the WEF and Davos Sustainability Crowd is depopulation. Wars do that better than almost anything and Famines will almost certainly follow
And a full scale war would be a great way to unleash a Pandemic using biological weapons. NATO will blame Russia or China and they will blame it on US bioweapons labs in Ukraine. This time I bet they already have a vaccine stockpiled (eg Small Pox)
Unfortunately I dont have a copy of the script so we will have to watch and see as it develops
