Welche Umstände führten zum russischen Einmarsch in die Ukraine? Update 18.6.2023

Es passiert öfter, dass bei Moonofalabama hochinteressante Diskussionen stattfinden, es aber sehr mühsam ist, sie durch die Kommentarspalte zu  verfolgen. So auch diesmal.

Dankenswerterweise hat ein Kommentator die Kommentare  zu einer Datei zusammengefasst. Ich denke, so ist eine gute Stoff- und Linksammlung entstanden.

Moonofalabama – Enquiry into Origins and Early Days of SMO (June 2023)

Posted by: Sushi | Jun 1 2023 18:51 utc | 279
„What I now propose is to draft a series on the Past of the SMO, at least the first week, and then post it on MoA, obtain the benefit of the raucous intelligence that inhabits the bar and see if it is possible for us to thrash out a rough history. History is open to alternate interpretations and it should be possible to state alternate interpretations/explanations and the evidence to support each such alternate interpretation.“

Sushi, I was directed to your comment by English Outsider over on AM’s site. As you’ll see from my conversation with him, I think your proposed series on the „Past of the SMO“ is an excellent idea. As a small contribution I’ve gathered what are hopefully all the relevant posts in the threads pointed to by EO into a Word doc. If it’s of any interest, you can find it at this link. Look forward to seeing what comes out of the project. Posted by: Ingolf Eide | Jun 4 2023 5:08 utc | 291

Update:

English Outsider hat nun seine Version, wie ich finde, sehr überzeugende Einschätzung zusammengefasst:

I believe that the Russians were coping adequately with that Western pressure and would have continued to do so, but that they were forced against their will to military action by the immediate and urgent threat to the Donbass. This was, therefore, no „unprovoked“ war. It was provoked by the West …

Viktor Urban zum Ukraine Krieg

Question: The last couple of seconds you made a great deal about 1956 and fighting for Freedom. You have a neighbor who is invaded by Russia, the very country you know you grew up, with pictures of tanks going into Budapest. Why are you opposing the European Aid?

Urban: No, no it‘s emotionally, it’s tragic, so all of our heart is with the ukrainians, we understand how much they suffer. But I‘m speaking here as a politician who should save lives. So the most important thing for the international political communities is to save lives, especially when you are convinced, as I do, that there is no chance to win this war. So therefore what we should do far more energy invest into to convince everybody that the only solution is ceasefire and then after the ceasefire peace talks to start and then we could go back to your point.

Question: Yeah, but do you really think there is no chance of Ukraine winning, that‘s surely the main thing, surely they stand very little chance of winning without the aid which you are currently blocking.

Urban: No, no. My position is that looking at the reality, looking at the figures, looking at the surroundings, looking at the fact that NATO is not ready to send troops, it‘s obvious that there is no victory for uh poor Ukrainians on the battlefield, it is obvious that there is no chance of victory for Ukrainians on the battlefield.

Das ganze Interview ist sehenswert und extrem scary. Larry Johnson hält es nicht für ausgeschlossen, dass die schon in Europa stationierten Truppen den Einsatzbefehl bekommen könnten, in den Krieg einzugreifen.
