Hello ATS!
I want to share with you my thoughts and analysis on what plans the US elites had for the defeat and collapse of Russia, and how they ultimately
ended. First, a little background.
After the collapse of the USSR, the Americans became quite relaxed: they got used to behaving like in the famous scene with the fork from the movie
“Kill the Dragon”, that is, they got used to the fact that, at their command, any foreign politician would not only completely surrender his
country, but would also willingly sacrifice his own person.
The failure in Syria, when Bashar al-Assad, with Russian help, defended his home country from American proxies, was not painful enough for the United
States to change its policy. The Americans perceived the shameful flight from Afghanistan more as a technical completion of a successful project than
as a defeat: they created chaos in the region, cut down military budgets, milked everything dry and left, abandoning local proxies to their fate.
Therefore, in February 2022, the Americans calmly turned the proxy war against Russia into a hot phase, ordering the manager of an Eastern European
colony to make nuclear threats against Russia. Since nuclear war did not suit Russia, the Russians were forced to react by launching a Special
Operation to pacify their violent neighbor.
Now about the plans. American Plan A was that the Russian “oligarchs” would behave like the Ukrainian ones, that is, overtaking each other, they
would run to swear allegiance to the American embassy. Plan A failed: it turned out that US collaborators with Russian origin were wishful thinking,
that there have been no oligarchs in Russia for a long time, and the deprivation of access to Courchevel made real Russian politicians more amused
than angry.
Plan B was to repeat the success of the first Opium War, or, if you prefer, the success of the Cold War. The idea was to provoke Russia into a
“mobilization economy,” that is, the destruction of its economy in exchange for local military successes. Mass mobilization, the storming of Kyiv
by an army of three million, and against this background - a dollar at 500, empty counters, the flight of productive forces from the country and
“food difficulties”, in some places reaching food riots. The result is a capitulation similar to Gorbachev’s or Ukraine’s, the Kremlin being
filled with American advisers and the subsequent pitting of Russia against the main enemy of the United States, China. Plan B also failed: the party
of naive hawks in Russia lobbied for one mobilization wave in September 2022, but the consequences of this mobilization turned out to be so
destructive that the “stupidity,” as Vladimir Putin called it, was immediately stopped. Now the Russian economy is functioning in a normal
operating mode: there is enough money, there are enough goods, industrial production is growing, the army is being replenished exclusively on a
contract basis. The United States no longer has hope that Russia will collapse on its own, like the Qing Empire or the USSR.
Plan C was to provoke internal unrest: riots, insurrections, revolutions, separatism. Again, US collaborators with Russian passports have been telling
the Western media for decades that Russia is a kleptocracy and tyranny, that the people hate Putin, whose power rests only on the batons of the riot
police. In the West, the June 2023 Wagner uprising was greeted with fervent hope, because they thought that this was it, that Russia was about to be
engulfed in civil war. The rebellion, however, failed at the start, since the overwhelming majority of the elites demonstratively sided with the
president, and without the support of the elites, such riots are doomed to rapid failure.
Finally, there was Plan D - a military victory over Russia. This plan was also inspired by “Russia experts” who assured the West that the Russian
army was weak, poorly motivated and completely defenseless against high-tech American weapons. Harsh reality has shown that things are exactly the
opposite: Russian troops, all other things being equal, are stronger than NATO troops, and the “superweapon” from the United States burns
perfectly as soon as it appears in the visibility zone of the Russian military.
It is easy to see that plans A, B and D were initially hopeless, since there are no “oligarchs” in Russia, potential rebels are too weak, and
defeating the Russian army on the battlefield, especially in a war of attrition, is extremely difficult: even without taking into account the Russian
nuclear arsenal. Russian soldiers are objectively the strongest in the world, and if American politicians even occasionally looked at the globe, they
could guess that the largest country on the planet did not become so by chance. Perhaps, the United States had a noticeable chance of success only
under Plan B, that is, by provoking a “mobilization economy” that would be fatal for the state. But, fortunately, the Russian schizopatriots did
not have enough political influence; we did not fully stick our foot into this trap.
