The blindness of Russia and the attention of the West. As Ukraine has been haunting luck since the beginning of the war

Blogger Yuri Borisov expresses a paradoxical opinion: Ukraine has been pursuing luck since the beginning of the war. In the end, the West could simply not notice the invasion of Russia, as it happened with Georgia. We spray our partners in the lost 7 months for vital assistance for Ukraine. These 7 months did not have time to lead to truly catastrophic consequences.

But the negative impact on the front line, the forces of defense, and the moral spirit in the rear, and the general atmosphere around the war should not be denied. But I am forced to state that we were still very lucky. I will say more: in principle, we are very happy throughout this war, even when it seems not. We were lucky with the level of Russian corruption and with the level of awareness of Ukraine.

Because with the basic ratio of resources without the factor of Russian corruption and the factor of catastrophic underestimation of Ukraine, Russia would have in theory of us to rolled as the US Iraq. We were lucky that the US and European countries in principle decided to notice a full -scale invasion in its first hours and days. It was not like Georgia. It was not like a Tutsi genocide. It was not like Ra Ra Pekhlev, who was fed with promises of help and threw up in Iran for a year and a half.

Because sometimes the holy belief in the strength of good and principles in international politics upsets me. For example, the US and Israel. I am very far from the idealization of Israel, but the US was a rather bad friend for Israel for the first 25-30 years of its existence. Then when Israel was critically vulnerable economically and militaristic. From economic vulnerability, it was rescued by Germany (Glory to Adenauer!), From the second - the weakness of neighbors and French weapons.

Even for a peace agreement with Egypt, Israel must be much more thanks to the will of the Egyptian President of the Sadat. This partnership that symbolizes the status of a NATO key ally is Reagan's product. But even after that, it was rolled at Bush-Sr. and Clinton, and then somehow unstable. This is despite the fact that Israel has never had a nuclear state as an enemy. In addition, when the US was on the dubious side, there was also enough.

And not in the format of the current paranoia that they play in the Russian-Ukrainian war "both ours and yours. " However, though sometimes rhetoric about escalation and can push it to such thoughts. But it was in the Iran-Iraq war. Despite the fact that Iraq attacked Iran. When Iran moved the war to Iraq - the United States began to support Saddam with money and weapons, as well as covered politically genocide of Kurds (using chemical weapons).

At the end of the war, the United States attacked Iranian oil facilities and tankers (hello, Russian refineries). All in order to get an acceptable peace for Iraq. Saddam will thank. It will not be superfluous to mention Korea and Taiwan. Korea was destroyed by about 80%after the war. And American help in the first 10 years was limited to a little food and a little credit for buying food.

After defeat by Mao, the Republic of China was counting on American support, spending properly at the UN as it should be, but received nothing in return. In addition to the guarantee (non-non-continent). I will not be about South Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. Why did I write about it? To emphasize 4 obvious thoughts again: therefore there is something to rejoice. And there are reasons for optimism. As if sometimes the ward did not want the injustice of the world.
