🇺🇸🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺Threat of Direct Western Intervention in Ukraine

▪️This is a prospect I've warned about since the SMO began in 2022;

▪️This began in 2014 when the *US* overthrew the elected gov of Ukraine, militarizing it to menace Russia on its own borders. It's a US conflict; ▪️US narrative has been it is "defending" Ukraine from "Russian aggression," it cannot afford to be seen initiating direct conflict with Russia, it must be "European" nations that do so with the US appearing to assist only as a reluctant afterthought;

🇺🇸🇹🇭 US-backed opposition sweeps Thai elections

Overtly anti-China, anti-Russian pro-Western opposition sweep Thai elections.

Move Forward Party linked to IS-backed billionaire Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit who pledged to roll back cooperation with China came in first... There are still several legal/procedural checks that might restrain US proxies, but the elections demonstrate Washington's growing influence over media, education, & political systems across Southeast Asia - starting w/ Myanmar, Malaysia & Philippines, & now finally Thailand...

Ukraine's offensive will start when it starts.

It is also possible that Ukraine will launch counter-offensives in places like Bakhmut either as part of the larger offensive or independently of it.

One doesn't indicate the other necessarily. Ukraine repeatedly postponed its 2022 fall offensive (it was supposed to be a spring-summer offensive).

Ukraine's delays do not mean it is not going to happen.

It was #China who built Laos' first real highways and now a high-speed railway connecting Kunming, China to Vientiane, the capital of Laos, which is just across the border from access to #Thailand's rail network (soon to have high speed as well)... US is attempting to influence #Thailand's upcoming elections this May to get opposition into power who openly seek to cancel the high-speed rail with China and other forms of Thai-Chinese cooperation...

🇺🇸🇰🇭 Fake rights org "Amnesty" claims Cambodian opposition leader Kem Sokha was jailed on a "fabricated treason charge."

In reality Kem Sokha was caught on video bragging about how the US was helping him overthrow the Cambodian gov... He claimed:

"...the USA has assisted me, they asked me to take the model from Serbia, where they can changed the dictator.

You know Milosevic had a huge numbers of tanks. But they changed things by using this strategy, & they take this experience for me to do in Cambodia..."

US aiding Kiev to take Crimea when Crimea clearly opted to join the Russian Federation in 2014 illustrates why Russia launched the SMO to begin with.

US gov-funded polls in 2013 reveal public identified as Russian, wanted to assoc. w/Russia. (source: pdf.usaid.gov/pdf_docs/pnaec…) Russia isn't imagining that Russian-speaking Ukrainians are under attack - they are - along with citizens of the Russian Federation in Crimea itself - even before the SMO, since shelling Crimea wasn't possible, Kiev denied Crimea fresh drinking water.

🇺🇦🇵🇱🇬🇧 If modern Western main battle tanks were wrecked and rendered ineffective by irregular forces in Syria & Yemen, what does Poland, the UK and others imagine will happen sending them into Ukraine with no air cover or proper artillery support, & w/struggling logistics? "A doc published online lists ISIS as apparently having destroyed 10 of the supposedly invincible Leopard 2s; 5 reportedly by antitank missiles, 2 by mines or IEDs, 1 to rocket or mortar fire, and the others to more ambiguous causes."

10 tanks will make zero difference. Ukraine started with 100s of tanks - received 100s more from NATO - lost all of them and will lose "10" Challengers, any Leopards or M1 Abrams NATO sends.

If Yemen or ISIS/Kurds can cook M1s/Leopards what do you think RF Armed Forces will do? but the panic is palpable among Ukraine's supporters - even supposed "experts" who should know 10 Challengers won't make a difference - but they can't think of anything else to say or do at this point...
