After Kherson, Russia will have to answer the damned question of its history

Petr Akopov for RIA Novosti:

The departure of our army from Kherson to the left bank of the Dnieper provoked the expected reaction from a part of society — what a horror, everything is gone. They also repeat one of the most famous phrases in Russian history: "What is this — stupidity or treason?"
These words were uttered 106 years ago, on November 14, 1916: at a meeting of the State Duma, the leader of the Cadet Party, Pavel Milyukov, in his speech denouncing the authorities, posed the question point-blank: "What is this — stupidity or treason?" Among the accusations thrown in the face of the supreme power — the royal court and the government — the main one was that she was looking for a "shameful peace" with Germany. The leader of the opposition named (prudently quoting the German press) those who allegedly constitute this traitorous party: among them were Prime Minister Stürmer (from Russian Germans) and Grigory Rasputin. Milyukov's speech was banned by the censors, but it was on the lists. A few days later, Stürmer was dismissed (not because of Milyukov's speech), the next month Rasputin was killed - and two months later it was February 1917 ...

None of what Milyukov said was true — neither the royal court nor the government were conducting secret negotiations with Germany. But then a considerable part of educated society believed Milyukov, who, after the abdication of Nicholas II, became the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia and tried to wage the war to a victorious end. But the army without a tsar at the head (who was, after all, also the supreme commander in chief) began to decompose along with the whole country — and instead of victory, we got a revolution, the obscene Treaty of Brest-Litovsk (that is, the loss of western lands, including Ukraine) and the Civil War. Why we recall it now?
To the fact that the indignation at the next statement of our Foreign Ministry that Russia is ready for negotiations with Ukraine is very reminiscent of those same Milyukov suffering — how is it, why did we fight, we must not allow a blow to the back of our army, we need to stop the traitors in the elite who are ready to surrender Russian interests in negotiations (secret or overt)! Bad news from the fronts is commented on in exactly the same way — they are leaving Kherson because they want to come to an agreement with the West, start negotiations, and refuse to defeat Ukraine! Here are the traitors — they only think about their skins and capital! It is necessary to expose everyone, remove them and put them on trial, and the one who does not understand this and does not do this is himself a traitor!
We have been hearing and reading all this for a very long time, but now there is another exacerbation of pseudo-patriotic hysteria. It covers a small part of society, but this is not good either. Moreover, there is a danger that in the event of defeats at the front, in combination with some next statement about negotiations, the neurosis will spread to the broad masses, that is, it will begin to threaten the main condition for our victory: popular unity in trust in the supreme power. To prevent this from happening, you need to know the lessons of history well — including remembering November 1916 — and be aware of what is happening now, distinguish between real and imaginary threats.

Russia is not threatened with treason — Putin will never agree to a "shameful peace" either with Ukraine or with the West. On February 24 this year, a historic choice was made, the Rubicon was crossed, after which Russia can only move forward. Stumbling, making mistakes, missing blows, concentrating, even temporarily retreating tactically, but strategically moving only forward. The speed of this movement can be different — it depends on our efforts, and on external resistance, and on the global situation. The words that our Foreign Ministry and even Putin speak to the public can also be different — and even very peaceful, but at the same time they serve very specific tactical goals. Not replacing and certainly not cancelling the strategic goal, which is crystal clear. Russia is returning itself to itself — both in the territorial, and in the spiritual, and in the ideological sense. The former Ukraine no longer exists — and on the pages of future Russian history there is already another Russia.

XI JINPING TELLS CHINA’S ARMY TO FOCUS ON PREPARATION FOR WAR

President #Xi says #China in an ‘unstable and uncertain’ security situation amid tensions over #Taiwan


Pictures of Xi, who recently secured a third term as party leader, in his #army uniform during a visit to a command centre featured prominently on the front page of the People’s Daily on Wednesday.

Xi said the army must “comprehensively strengthen military training in preparation for war”, having warned at a recent party congress of “dangerous storms” on the horizon.

“Focus all [your] energy on fighting, work hard on fighting and improve [your] capability to win,” he was quoted as saying.

The army must also “resolutely defend
national sovereignty and national security” as China was in an “unstable and uncertain” security situation, he reportedly said.

State Department Speaker Ned Price - that "the United States is waiting for signals from Russia that it is ready for serious negotiations on Ukraine": Russia has a responsibility to demonstrate not only in words but also in deeds that it is ready for negotiations, which the world has clearly heard from side of Ukraine.

“I didn't close the door. I said that we are ready to talk with Russia, but with a different Russia. With one that is truly ready for the world. With the one that is ready to admit that they are occupants, ready to compensate our people for everything, and this is not about money. They need to return everything: land, rights, freedom, money": Zelensky and the skill of changing shoes in the air.

Europe are issuing internal warnings to Washington colleagues that some countries with populations that support Russia are growing angry over sanctions and blame the U.S. for rising costs. That sentiment could put pressure on European leaders to pull back support for the sanctions, officials said in internal reports circulated throughout the administration in recent days and viewed by POLITICO.
