Mr. Ponomarenko writes further about the demands from Russia:
"The U.S. must forget about establishing any new military bases in former Soviet Union nations that have not joined NATO yet, or use their infrastructure for any military activity, or even develop bilateral military cooperation."
The author addresses:
"The provision obviously points to Ukraine and Georgia, which both have suffered from Russian military incursions and therefore aspire towards joining NATO."

Mr. Putin and his 2 cowboys [Sergey Lavrov, the Russian Foreign Minister; his real name as an Armenian is Mr. Kalantarian or Kalantarov & Sergey Shoigu, the Russian Defense Minister] are well known President Putin's cowboys.
P.L. S. (Putin, Lavrov and Shoigu) are well-known evil persons around the world for their lies, for their demagogy and for their crimes and
for making wars against the former Soviet republics (Azerbaijan, Georgia, Ukraine, Moldova, Kazakhstan).
Putin and his cowboys (P.L.S) are pathologically afflicted for to be posioned in their current jobs. They committ aggressions and wars.
Putin and his cowboys are pathilogically addicted to splitting the territories of other nations.
P.L.S create the ethnic as well as the religious tensions among many different nations in the former Soviet republics.
Putin and his cowboys use the opportunity for presenting themselves as the peace makers.
Putin and his cowboys then occupy the territories of the former Soviet republics under the umbrella term of the Russian peace makers.
As President Putin and his cowboys are committing wars, crimes, always their goals are: to occupy more territories witin the Ukrainian territories.
Putin and his cowboys are constantly increaseing the Russia's planned plots
The Russian aggressions primarily are oriented to the regions like the Eastern Europe as well as to the South Caucasus.
Putin and his cowboys are strongly emphasizing the wars against Ukraine should not lead to their failure to
forget the importance of the occupation of the Azerbaijani territories in the Karabakh region.
Putin, therefore, enhances the presence of the Russian troops contingent in the territories of Azerbaijan within the territories of Azerbaijan in the Karabakh region.
For Putin and his cowboys Ukraine and South Caucasus are the 2 major contributors for the Russian dream for
renwal of the Russian impetialism.
In Mr. Putin's doctrine, committing the criminalities, massacring people and destroying different cities by making wars are fundamental for the Russian imperialism.
To plan and to make wars against the other nations are the pretext for enforcing of the Russian goals.
Putinsim for all crazy putinists in Russia means the Russian imperialism.
Putin and his cowboys (currently) intensively are deploying the Russian soldiers, tanks, fighters and their heavy munitions to 2 major fronts: First to the Ukrainian front.
Putin and his military generals also militarizing the Azerbaijani territory in Karabakh region in order to guarantee the continuity of the Russian imperialism.
On 9 March 2022 CBS News "cbsnews.com" published a report entitled "Putin "unlikely to be deterred" by economic sanctions and military setbacks in Ukraine, U.S. intel leaders say " written by Olivia Gazis.
Mrs. Gazis quotes Avril Haines (director of national intelligence ) who testified (Tuesday) along with other intelligence chiefs (before the House Intelligence Community as part of an annual hearing on worldwide threats) as saying:
"Russian President Vladimir Putin is "unlikely to be deterred" by the effect of the West's coordinated economic sanctions and his military's setbacks in Ukraine and will seek to "escalate" his country's aggression against Kyiv in the coming weeks."
Director Haines addresses:
"An "aggrieved" Putin likely "perceives this as a war he cannot afford to lose."

The author writes:
"So, if "everything goes according to plan",
-the transfer of tens of thousands of Russian soldiers to the "meat machine",
-the disgrace and humiliation of the Russian army in the eyes of the whole world, instead of increasing NATO's prestige in the world and further expansion to the east,
-dragging it to default,
- seizing hundreds of billions of dollars from the Russians,
-discrediting the Russians as a nation all over the world,
-creating a savage, bloodthirsty, looting image,
-endless hatred against them,
-deepening long-lasting divisions between the Russian and Ukrainian peoples ,
-making them almost eternal enemies, displacing millions of Ukrainians, killing infants, the elderly, raping women, girls and even children!"

Mr. Mammadov addresses:

The author explains:
"All this shows that Russia, or rather the Kremlin, is involved in the economy, politics, diplomacy, the military and so on."
The writer points out:
"As in propaganda, he is very pinty, rude and primitive, using all shades of lies from white to red!"
Mr. Mammadov addresses:
"Today in Ukraine, not only the imperial appetite of the Kremlin and its zombie masses, but also the war of the past and the future of the Ukrainian state, society and those who support it - the technology, the economy, the worldview and the mindset, and the weapons are at war. ! We do not say morality yet. In this war, the past has no chance and can not."
The author writes:
"The Russian side, and the mindset that governs it, has gone through all of the above, so it is defeated!"
Mr. Mammadov goes on to say:
"Despite all the threats and false "military success" reports, the Kremlin and the Russian army are now crawling out of Ukraine, looking for ways to get out, albeit a little "wet-faced." "
The writer notes:
"The Kremlin's propagandists have already begun to "feed" their people with the thesis that "we are fighting with NATO, not Ukraine, and we are losing to NATO ." "
The author adds:
"However, a large part of Russian society does not want to accept these theses."

The

Russian

Putin’s
war
Lynne Hartnett writes:
"The world is trying to make sense of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s violent invasion of Ukraine."
The author addresses:
"But his attack is not rooted in any rational calculation of costs and benefits."
The writer explains:
"Instead, Putin is making an ill-conceived gambit to reclaim his nation’s stature as an imperial power and assert Russia’s prestige, authority and will on the world
stage."
Mrs. Hartnett points out:
"Putin has positioned himself as a frustrated representative of an aggrieved fallen empire — for example, lamenting “the paralysis of power and will” that led to the complete “degradation and oblivion” of the Soviet Union in 1991."
The author addresses:
"Though this grievance seems situated within what Putin has called the tragedy of the Soviet collapse, his imperial inspiration extends even deeper into the country’s past."
The writer explains:
"As Putin described it in a 2012 speech, the revival of Russian national consciousness necessitates that Russians connect to their past and realize that they have “a common, continuous history spanning over 1,000 years.”

of
Russian
imperialism
shaping
Putin’s
war
Lynne Hartnett writes:
"Putin understands the post-Soviet global order through the prism of Russia’s long history."
The author notes:
"And that history is inextricably tied to Russia’s dynamic imperial mission both in the past and today."
Mrs. Hartnett addresses:
"The first “Russian” state was established in present-day Kyiv in the 9th century."
The writer points out:
"But Kievan Rus’ fell into ruin with the Mongol conquest of the 13th century, becoming a decentralized group of principalities that each owed fealty and tribute to the Mongol khans."
The author explains:
"By the late 15th century, though, the principality of Moscow, led by Grand Prince Ivan III, turned the tables of fortune on the Mongols."
Mrs. Hartnett addresses:
"Ivan, known to history as Ivan the Great, renounced his land’s subordination to the Mongols and declared the sovereignty of Russia."
The author writes:
"Ivan then subdued his neighbors, annexed their territory and centralized Moscow’s authority."
Mrs. Hartnett addresses:
"Ivan the Great came to power less than a decade after the Ottoman conquest of Constantinople in 1453."
The writer points out:
"Cultivating his imperial standing with his marriage to the niece of the last Byzantine emperor, Ivan claimed Byzantium’s legacy for Muscovite Russia and adopted the title of czar for himself."
She addresses:
"As czar, he asserted Russia’s international influence and stature by establishing diplomatic relations with foreign powers and building the Kremlin to serve as an architectural manifestation of Russia's new imperial power."

Lynne Hartnett writes:
"When Putin succeeded Boris Yeltsin as president of the Russian Federation in 1999, he claimed that his country was entitled to exert a privileged influence over the post-Soviet states.
"
The writer points out:
"Yet many of these nations balked at the local cronyism and corruption that seemed to come with Moscow’s continued influence."
The author addresses:
"In the early 2000s, popular uprisings in Georgia, Ukraine and Kyrgyzstan — collectively deemed the Color Revolutions — demonstrated these countries’ spirit of independence and, thereby, the limits of Russia’s and Putin’s control of the region."

The author addresses:
"The Russian president’s decision to move into eastern Ukraine and annex Crimea was the opening salvo to reclaim the power that imperial failure had eroded."
Mrs. Hartnett writes:
"But the determined resistance of the Ukrainian people to Russian aggression has shown the folly of Putin’s vision of renewed imperial grandeur."
The writer points out:
"Having found independence from Moscow in the years since 1991, Ukrainians have no desire to return to their previous colonial status."
Mrs. Hartnett writes:
"Despite Russia’s superior military might, the Ukrainian people have made a stand for their sovereignty and their freedom, earning support and respect around the world."

"Because of restrictions imposed on reporting of free press the supreme commander (Here it is Putin) has limited information of what exactly is happening in society and in the military."

Eugene Rumer writes:
"The Primakov doctrine has set Russia’s recent course."
The author continues:
The Kremlin must decide if it should continue to follow the doctrine, or if it should pursue a more robust set of global ambitions."
The writer addresses :
Since 2014, Russian “hybrid warfare” has been at the center of attention of Western security analysts."
Mr. Rumor explains:
"The Kremlin’s reliance on proxies, disinformation, and measures short of war has created the impression that its hybrid capabilities are distinct and separate from its military and can serve as a substitute for hard power."
The author points out:
"That impression is incorrect."
He notes:
"Russian military and hybrid activities and tools are inextricably linked."
Mr. Rumor explains:
"Hybrid warfare has been associated with Russian Chief of the General Staff General Valery Gerasimov, the author of the so-called Gerasimov doctrine—a whole-of-government concept that fuses hard and soft power across many domains and transcends boundaries between peace- and wartime."
