Putin Rus Strike Back Arm West Enemies; Zelensky Illegitimate; Kharkov Offensive, Rus Eyes Kherson Return (Alexander Mercouris)

The US recently stepped up cooperation with Ukraine to hit targets inside Russia. In response the Russians have declared that they will arm the enemies of the West in what can be described as an asymmetric response. The entire war is the result of Western provocation. From the 2014 coup onwards Ukraine was armed by Western countries, following neocon directives, in order to have them fight Russia in order to diminish their influence in Europe and around the world. The entire plan is backfiring spectacularly and now the neocon maniacs are pushing things are far as they can. We may yet see NATO troops sent (overtly) into the war zone. If this happens other countries throughout the world may intervene on Russia's side in various ways. 

Remember, outside of the Western world the Russians are seen in a very favourable light. The West, at the moment, is recognised as unhinged and dangerous. A lot of countries are moving away from the US dollar for this reason. Not everyone in high office, no matter how corrupt, are idiots that are unable to see what's going on. They'll do what they can to jump off from a sinking ship, or at least plan contingencies (by siding with Russia, and China).
