The West made 8 mistakes regarding the racist war against Ukraine:

1. The West – as a whole – was taken by surprise by the war; its acceptance of what it wants for reality and systematic errors, delusions, illusions and self-deception in its perceptions of Putin have made it unable to believe that there will be a war.

2. The West – when the war began – was leaning towards the conclusion that Russia's blitzkrieg would succeed and Ukraine would be defeated.

3. The West – when the blitzkrieg failed and a full-scale and brutal war broke out – was guided by the understanding that, yes, Ukraine should not be defeated, but the war should last as long as possible so that Russia would be absolutely exhausted, and thereby to accelerate the collapse of the Putin regime and open path to a more acceptable, more peaceful, more liberal and more democratic government in Russia.

4. The West – despite the series of impressive sanctions against Russia – deliberately allowed a number of opportunities for their partial non-fulfillment or circumvention; moreover, in the field of energy, the West continued the actual financing of aggression against Ukraine with Western money.

5. The West – in the summer of 2022 – stopped (at least seriously slowed down) the offensive of the Ukrainian armed forces, when Russian military and especially human resources directly involved in the hostilities were greatly used up, and Russia soon after that had to order the enterprises of the Russian military industry to start working in three shifts and without days off, as well as to begin the (continuing to this day) moGilization.
[When the war is over, a very important and complex question for historians and military experts will be the clarification of why the West did this – my answer is – out of fear of humiliating and cornering Putin – so that he does not resort to a nuclear attack; let's remember how the victory of the Ukrainian armed forces in Kherson plunged the West into shock, numbness and stress, there was simply a certain period of swallowing Western languages, silence and complete bewilderment – how to evaluate this success...]

6. The West – as evidence of its still great fear of Putin – was, is, and it is not known how long it will be convinced that Crimea should be removed by brackets in the next few years, that Crimea is irreversibly Russian, that the Crimean train has left – "everything else, but only not Crimea!"..

7. The West – regardless of eight Ramsteins and especially regardless of the last Ramstein – allowed a delay of at least 3 months in the support of ground equipment: tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery systems, etc., and this led to the advance of the rashists, albeit in a small area and with insignificant successes, but with loud Great Russian propaganda – finally at least some success was achieved by the rashists after the series of undoubted and humiliating defeats.

8. The West – again and again, as if it cannot properly learn lessons from the war – is at least 6 months behind in supporting Ukraine with fighters and long-range missiles. If the West had not allowed such an unforgivable delay, one could hope that by the middle of 2023, Ukraine would have approached the border not only on December 31, 2022 (before the beginning of the so-called "new offensive" of the racists), but also on the border by February 24, 2022 (before the start of the rashist war) and even go ashore on the Sea of Azov, destroy the Crimean bridge and step, at least initially, on Crimean land.
...
At the same time, two very correct decisions of the West regarding the rashist war against Ukraine should be noted.
I noted these two correct decisions, still giving credit to the West – which has proven and continues to prove that rumors about the collapse of the West are greatly exaggerated, and the West continues to be the most important strategic factor and guarantor of the success of efforts to demand an acceptable and sustainable world order – despite attempts The Islamic state and the rashist state to sow chaos and throw peace into disorder.

Here are two correct decisions of the West regarding the rashist war against Ukraine:

1. The West – in what I believed and continue to believe – very energetically, quickly, courageously and effectively freed itself from the seemingly catastrophic fate of dependence on Russian energy resources.
This became possible both thanks to the quality management decisions of Western governments and thanks to the fact that the market, liberal economy of the West, and especially in this interdependent and interconnected world, is much more flexible and mobile, more adequate and enterprising than the economies of authoritarian, non-democratic states.
That it would be exactly like that – without being at all a specialist in the energy field - I claimed from the very beginning. I wrote constantly that the energy devil is not so black, that there will be no oil and gas apocalypses in Europe.

2. West – very difficult and very slow, but!!!! – finally gave priority to an alternative strategic vision, which until recently was subordinated to the dominant strategic vision of the West, about which I wrote above – this about a maximally long and exhausting war for Russia. Now the West is following precisely the alternative strategic vision that the sooner Russia is defeated, the lower the price of victory over it will be and the faster conditions will be created for at least some change in Russia's leadership and foreign policy.

Well, thank God!
