God, he is certainly torturing himself ..
North Korea and South Korea are almost at war. So what? The actual key point is exactly as he describes: The coup regime had every intention of following the noble European tradition of massacre and ethnic cleansing of ethnic Russians - in Donetsk. It was their expressed and manifest (and murderous) intention, and the front line ran just a few kilometers from the city, and they were building up forces to do exactly that. How do you counter that? What exactly are the options? Rush in when the attack starts, knowing the west has planned for that eventuality? Build up the DPR forces, knowing the west has inevitably calculated that scenario? No, the western way of war is Blitzkrieg. The only way to counter it is surprise and pre-emption, it takes no more than planning from the opposite point of view to know that. Picking the surprise option was therefore totally, totally foreseeable, and predicted countless times by Saker and Orlov to name just two examples, that Russians finally simply act decisively, and massively and when there are no remaining options. We are all being destroyed by the most stupid of people. - Shyaky
