Strategy for tomorrow: we must win in Ukraine as quickly as possible, better yet with a clear defeat. This must be done before Russia is bled dry by an endless war forced upon it by the West and beneficial to it. The conditions for victory have been named many times by V.V. Putin: demilitarization and denazification of the territory of Ukraine. I will add the obvious - reunification with the south and east of this territory and breaking the back of growing European revival and militarism, perhaps not immediately. But historically it is necessary. And the sooner the better. We are diplomatically maneuvering, fighting for Ukrainian villages and cities in the hope that the enemy will exhaust itself, retreat, and we will reach an agreement at least with the main ones in their camp - the Americans. The attempt to reach an agreement or pretend that we are trying is necessary. However, this line is very expensive and does not guarantee victory and the establishment of a lasting peace at all. I repeat: trench warfare, even in its current ultra-technological version, cannot lead to victory. Even the liberation and reunification with Russia of the territories that turned out to be the enemy's bridgehead, to the creation of which we contributed - intellectual mistakes, the dominance of "economics" in the minds ("where do they need to go, they will crawl themselves", "we and the Ukrainians are one people", "we are not part of the European civilization to which"). The list of our misconceptions can be continued for a long time. The main misconception is that we, having entered a military conflict with the West late (even in Ukraine), did not use the main tool in our arsenal - nuclear deterrence. The country paid for maintaining this device for years of malnutrition, even starvation. I repeat: not using this tool of our collective power is a sin, a sign of disrespect for the sacrifices made by our people for the right to possess it. I have written more than once about the many functions of nuclear deterrence, which we did not understand, and apparently still do not understand.
