The end of the Russian war on Ukraine is finally within sight. Not because Russia is winning this stupid war, but because Russia's implosion has begun.
As Russian history proves, nothing ever changes there except by instability, wars, coup d'etats, revolutions, etc. In a way, Russians are hot-headed ultra-religious barbarians, not unlike many Arab and African countries that cannot get themselves to accept democracy as a means of running their lives. Instead, demagogues, ultra-religious bigots, thieves and other bullshitters with big testicles are adulated by their people who are worse than their rulers. Many of these leaders never step down from office: They are either primitive monarchies, or if they are so-called republics, the leader seizes power by force, then hangs on to power like stink on a monkey until his deathbed after ruining his country with bloody civil wars: Sudan, Libya, etc.
Lebanon is a case in point. France created all the institutions and laid down the constitution one hundred years ago. But the Lebanese Christians are such smartass genuises that they annexed Syrian Muslim regions to their small autonomous Mount Lebanon entity, dropping from an 80% majority pre-1920 to a 50% equal share post-1920, then they kicked out their French protectors when France was on its knees under German ocupation. Now that the Muslims have done everything to bring down the Christians to the status of a tolerated Dhimmi minority, with Christian emigration out of the country being replaced by incoming Syrian and Palestinian Muslim refugees, with the Muslims waging war after war against the Christians in collusion with Arab dictatorships, the Christians are now begging France for help against Iran and Saudi Arabia, while their feudal warlord leaders have not ceased killing one another for power.
That is how Russians are. They had a chance after the collapse of the Soviet Union to bring about a democratic Russia that could integrate or at least live in peace with Europe, but they preferred to follow the criminal KGB officer Vladimir Putin and his coterie of billionnaire thieves and oligarchs. Inebriated by his popularity among a primitive and overwhelmingly poor and rural Russian people, Putin embarked on rampaging across the former Soviet Caucasus countries, then on saving the ass of Bashar Assad, the dictator-butcher of Syria by bombing every Syrian city to smitherenes, killing half a million Syrians, and sending another 12 million as refugees across the globe, simply because the Syrian people dared to ask for a change of governance. Then, when that was not enough, Putin thought he could leave an even bigger mark on history - all these megalomaniacs want is to be remembered by history like Alexander, Ceasar, Napoleon, Hitler, etc. if they have to murder millions and millions of people - by invading Ukraine, claiming that it "always was part of Greater Russia", just as Syria keeps saying that Lebanon was "always part of Greater Syria".
Russia's implosion has now begun with a rebellion by the mercenary Wagner group that has fought much of the war in Ukraine on behalf of a less-than-mediocre Russian army. The Russians are cowardly fighters, just like their friends the Syrians. Instead of fighting like brave soldiers, they hide behind their tanks, their cannons and their planes, and they bomb and shell from a safe distance to kill and maim and displace innocent civilians. Afterwards, they rape, torture and mutilate anyone who shows up in their field of vision.
According to various press reports, an account of the unfolding events is as follows:
On 23 June 2023, Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed that soldiers of the Russian Ministry of Defense were shelling his positions. Prigozhin has now promised to take revenge on the leadership of the Ministry of Defense whom he labels as an "evil" that must be stopped. He also dismissed the standard Putin justification for the invasion of Ukraine, saying that Ukraine and NATO were not planning to attack Donbas and Crimea in 2022.
Prigozhin blamed the minister of defence, Sergei Shoigu, for Russia's battlefield failures and deaths, and said that Russia's war in Ukraine was intended to benefit elites. He accused Russia's military of a rocket attack against his Wagner Group, among other serious accusations and threats against the Russian regime that prompted the Federal Security Service (FSB) to open a criminal case against him. Prigozhin pulled his 25,000-strong militia back from Ukraine and into Russia's Rostov-on-Don, and vowed: "If anyone gets in our way, we will destroy everything!"
Nice! That was Russia's dirty laundry being aired to dry. Let us hope that Putin too is brought out to dry like the filthy dictator criminal that he is. They should hang him upside down, topless and in his underwear, on Red Square. Not impossible, given Russia's long macabre history as well as Putin's own history of killings, poisonings, imprisonment and fake justice against his opponents.
Yup, I can't wait to see "Greater Russia", or as they themselves admit it to be the "Federation of all the Russias" (there are apparently many Russias), break up into the hundreds or so ethnic, lingustic and religious minorities that have been trampled for centuries by the central "white" Russians of Moscow and Saint Petersburg.
Finally, what I like about these events in Russia is that they present the other "Great" dictator of China, one Xi Jinping, a taste of what may come his way if he decides to make himself even greater by harassing and invading other countries' territories, or by keeping 1.5 billion people chained like animals in his stinking Chinese barn.
