Infantis contra Profissionais

Uma recente entrevista de Jacques Baud. Sobre o conflito na Ucrânia. Antídoto altamente recomendável para o envenenamento  desinformativo através das tele-madrassas, funis geocognitivos e caleidoscópios alucinogéneos do Combinado Oeste. Uma visão fria, conhecedora e desapegada do conflito.

Alguns excertos particularmente sugestivos:

«(..) our “experts” have themselves determined the objectives of the Russian offensive. By claiming that Russia wanted to take over Ukraine and its resources, to take over Kiev in two days, etc., our experts have literally invented and attributed to the Russians objectives that Putin never mentioned. In May 2022, Claude Wild, the Swiss ambassador in Kiev, declared on RTS that the Russians had “lost the battle for Kiev.” But in reality, there was never a “battle for Kiev.” It is obviously easy to claim that the Russians did not reach their objectives—if they never tried to reach them!»

«(...)the West and Ukraine have created a misleading picture of their adversary. In France, Switzerland and Belgium, none of the military experts on television have any knowledge of military operations and how the Russians conduct theirs. Their “expertise” comes from the rumours from the war in Afghanistan or Syria, which are often merely Western propaganda. These experts have literally falsified the presentation of Russian operations. 

Thus, the objectives announced as early as February 24 by Russia were the “demilitarization” and “denazification” of the threat to the populations of Donbass. These objectives are related to the neutralization of capabilities, not the seizure of land or resources. To put it bluntly, in theory, to achieve their goals the Russians do not need to advance—it would be enough if Ukrainians themselves would come and get killed.

In other words, our politicians and media have pushed Ukraine to defend the terrain like in France during the First World War. They pushed Ukrainian troops to defend every square meter of ground in “last stand” situations. Ironically, the West has only made the Russians’ job easier.

In fact, as with the war on terror, Westerners see the enemy as they would like him to be, not as he is. As Sun Tzu said 2,500 years ago, this is the best recipe for losing a war.»

Congratulo-me que Baud concorde comigo quando implica que, muito provavelmente, os Ucranocoisos teriam feito bem melhor figura sem a "assesssoria" e a "expertise" do Combinado Oeste (basicamente o Pentagono e os ingleses. 

De resto, a propaganda, quando se confunde com delírio, torna-se uma armadilha letal para os próprios promotores. Além de não desmoralizar o inimigo nem afectar a sua base de apoio, devém crença cega, estupefacciente e desviante para as próprias forças: auto-investidas de poderes e entusiasmos megalómanos totalmente desligados da realidade, lançam-se, sem tino nem freio, no completo desastre. O outro lado agradece.  Como já aqui referi, o pior que pode acontecer é quando a "nossa propaganda" nos atinge completamente a nós e falha estrondosamente o inimigo. Se usássemos de uma anologia futeboleira, o actual confronto entre o Combinado Oeste e a Federação Russa, na Ucrània, poderia ser descrito como um jogo entre, respectivamente, infantis e seniores profissionais.
