Rubicon crossed, Permanent Conflict on Russia. Zelensky Targets Belarus Next (The Duran)

Russia's forces are closing in on Konstantinovka and Lyman as the Donbass front nears total collapse, while the UK fires storm shadow missiles into Voronezh in a pointed signal that British policy toward Russia will not soften regardless of who leads in London. Alex Christoforou and Alexander Mercouris break down how the collective west is expanding the conflict beyond Ukraine's borders, with Zelensky issuing repeated ultimatums against Belarus and European hardliners pushing for deeper escalation as Russian military gains accelerate.



Hopefully the military situation in Ukraine collapses to end any chance of a permanent war against Russia that will likely include a new front against Belarus. The globalist/neocon warmongers in the West will almost certainly try to open further fronts against Russia in other regions as part of their long term strategy. A global economic collapse might be one way to end this madness - something that could be triggered through the destruction of oil facilities in the Middle East. This may happen as Israel continues its war in Lebanon.

One footnote to what Zelensky is doing, as a puppet of neocons, by antagonising Poland, and looking at his suicidal orders that have killed many Ukrainian soldiers, is that part of the war aims may be to destroy the neo-Nazis, and general population, of Ukraine. The war is not simply about destroying Russia but also Ukraine. At the very least they are fighting the war down to the last Ukrainian, where they're essentially all expendable.
