Russia plans a ‘Korean scenario’ for Ukraine: Intelligence chief | Russia-Ukraine war News | Al Jazeera aje.io/cp6wts via @AJEnglish
2/“Russia is considering “a Korean scenario” for Ukraine and splitting the country in two after failing to seize the capital Kyiv and overthrow its government, the Ukrainian military intelligence chief has said.”
Or the “Korean scenario” is simply the 2nd Phase of Russia’s
3/“special military operation”, kicked into gear by Ukraine’s refusal to accept the 6 stated terms of cease-fire Russia put on the table:

Ukraine, in Russia’s vise, rejects cease-fire terms. Putin tightens the vise. Dividing Ukraine along the Dnieper River
4/would divide Ukraine right down the middle into a pro-Russian East Ukraine & neutral West Ukraine. This would create a Russia-friendly sovereign East Ukraine that'd be a buffer b/t Russia and an EU-friendly West Ukraine &/or NATO.
5/Ukraine now realizes that what it doesn't cede voluntarily Russia will take by force. If the Russian army connects along the Dnieper River, cutting Ukrainian Armed forces in the Eastern Ukraine off from Kyiv, Putin could issue an ultimatum: Kyiv surrenders and negotiations are
6/made to divide Ukraine into West & East Ukraine a la pre-unification East & West Germany, or North & South Korea. The Western narrative is preposterously misleading. Every news analyst says Putin is rebuilding the Russian Empire but that's a false narrative, a lie. If Ukraine
7/won’t voluntarily cede the terms of Russia’s six point cease-fire (the easy way), Russia will enter Phase II to wrest them forcibly thru the division of Ukraine into East & West. (IMO)

Russia claims focus now on seizing eastern Ukraine, not Kyiv
“Top Russian military officials said Friday the operation in Ukraine was entering a new phase focused on the "complete liberation" of the eastern Donbas region."
threadreaderapp.com/thread/1508293…
2/Which is more rational? To believe this report by the Russians which is aimed at both domestic and international audiences? Or the US’s second-guessing of Russia’s statement claiming that, clearly, Russia’s goal had been to capture Kyiv in 3 days and install a puppet gov’t that
3/would do Moscow’s bidding, but failed spectacularly, and now has altered its narrative to make it appear as if Russia hasn’t failed? Well if you believe that Washington has enough ESP to read Moscow’s mind you’ll go w/ US’s second guessing. Yet US’s psychological projection

2/“Top Russian military officials said Friday the operation in Ukraine was entering a new phase focused on the "complete liberation" of the eastern Donbas region, claiming Russia's assault on cities like Kyiv was part of a strategy to distract Ukrainian forces.”
3/This could be true, explaining why the miles-long column of military vehicles dropping in from Belarus manned by conscripts bogged down: it was by design.
“U.S. officials believed [however that] Russia's original objectives [had always been] regime change and long-term control

Putin: Russia will be dragged into war if Ukraine joins NATO @TRTWorld trtworld.com/europe/putin-r…
Joe Biden's response is simply that Putin is a dictator bent on rebuilding the Russian Empire. The egregious failure of Washington to understand Putin & the Russian Federation's concerns over NATO's encroaching upon its very borders is at the ROOT of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
Translation: It's better to resolve your beef w/ Ukraine over Crimea & the Donbass region BEFORE Ukraine joins NATO when the conflict WON'T escalate into WW3. A Russia-Ukraine conflict that doesn't become WW3 is better than one that does become WW3 by triggering Article 5.
