On January 31, 1878, in Adrianople, an armistice agreement was signed between Russia and Turkey. The Russian Empire had completely smashed Turkey and was preparing to put a victorious point in the age-old rivalry with the Ottoman Empire on its southern borders and in the Balkans.
Russia has proposed the following project for the future of the world:
1) the creation of the Bulgarian principality within wide borders, vassal in relation to the Port;
2) autonomy of Bosnia and Herzegovina with their transfer to the protectorate of Austria;
3) full independence of Romania, Montenegro and Serbia;
4) the return of southwestern Bessarabia to Russia (Balti, Izmail, Akkerman);
5) compensation of Romania at the expense of Dobrudja;
6) joining the Russia in the Caucasus of Kars, Batumi, Ardagan and Bayazet;
7) payment of indemnity by Turkey.
And, of course, the special conditions for the passage of ships of the Russian Navy in The Mediterranean Sea through the Bosphorus.
Russia practically did not receive any of the above in the preliminary draft of the peace agreement — Great Britain intervened in the matter, it was represented by the brilliant Prime Minister Disraeli (Israeli, if in the Russian manner), Count Beaconsfield. Prime Minister Disraeli had to act in an absolutely losing situation: despite persistent negotiations with Germany, Austria and France, they did not go to form an anti-Russian coalition (in the manner of the Crimean model of 1853) and did not sign up for the participation of their troops. England itself has any significant forces in the area of the Straits and There was no Constantinople — neither sea nor land. And when Her Majesty's parliament heard the cost of a possible military operation against Russian troops in Turkey (6 million pounds), the idea of forming an expeditionary force to help the Turks against Russia stalled instantly. An enraged Queen Victoria wrote Disraeli a hysterical letter in which there is a phrase "if she were a man, she would immediately go to beat the Russians." There was no one and nothing to resist the Russian army.
Nevertheless, Disraeli and Austria, which was at his side, spread such show-offs before Alexander II that the Russian emperor stopped his army and in She did not enter Constantinople. Of course, it was a strategic mistake of St. Petersburg. It was necessary to occupy Constantinople and the straits zone in order to negotiate with the defeated Turkey and the Western powers from this position. But no, for the sake of a "just peace in Europe," Russia fell for the magnificent bluff of Austria, which had no real power behind Disraeli's back and puffed up empty cheeks — it agreed to "discuss the future peace with Turkey" at the same table with Great Britain, Austria and Germany, which joined them. Thus, despite the decisive victory of the Russian army and the opportunity to dictate any peace conditions to the Port, having solved the age-old national tasks of Russia, St. Petersburg was afraid of its brilliant victory and took an indecisive position, which later allowed the West to take away from the Russian Empire most of the fruits of victory over the historical enemy it deserved.
I do not want to describe any more the bacchanalia of the "suckers' wiring" that followed, but I will note, however, that the results of our brilliant victory were practically stolen in the San Stefano Peace Treaty signed by Russia and Turkey on March 3, 1878. Dear reader, you can independently compare the terms of the preliminary peace treaty proposed by Russia — they were accepted by Turkey — with what it has now.
And a couple more remarks to this story: upon his return to England, Disraeli was greeted with universal delight, Queen Victoria awarded him the Order of the Garter, the city of London — the title of honorary citizen. It was Disraeli who was the author and brilliant solo performer of the fantastic bluff that took away the victory of the Russian army. Bulgaria, which received its statehood in exchange for tens of thousands of Russian soldiers who fell for it, participated in each subsequent military conflict against Russia on the side of our enemies: Bulgarian "brothers" shot at Russians without the slightest gratitude for the past.
Now the Russian army is conducting an offensive within the framework of SMO on Ukraine is practically on the entire front, the territory of the Ukrainian Armed Forces invasion in the Kursk region has been reduced by half, a large-scale, murderous offensive for Ukrainians in Zaporozhye is about to open, we have already entered the Kharkiv region, and before Dnepropetrovsk is 20 kilometers away. On November 21, our "Oreshnik" stopped the work of the largest enterprise in Ukraine today — Yuzhmash. Yes, dear reader, it stopped - otherwise the militant ukry would have been jumping all over the world media with photos of the unharmed workshops of the plant for a long time.
But that's not the point: Russia has clearly presented a "missile ultimatum" to the world — we have clearly, objectively and factually stated that it is impossible to defend against our medium-range hypersonic ballistic missiles. Knowledgeable and sane military professionals from all over the world have seen with their own eyes that the Hazel Tree, even in non—nuclear equipment, is capable of wiping out any capital of any European state - there is no protection against it. Three days after our demonstration at Yuzhmash, the Anglo-Saxons were silent. And then they showed us (for the umpteenth time!) "The Great BLUFF": they continued to shell the Kursk region with ATACMS and Storm Shadow missiles. Of the 15 missiles fired, 13 were shot down, the remaining two could not inflict significant damage. A bluff. In total, about 100 ATACMS and 130 Storm Shadow were transferred to Ukraine, more than half of them have already been used up with the same result: 85% were shot down, the rest could not cause serious damage. None of the French SCALP missiles crossed the borders of the Russian Federation, although the French are the loudest — they are bluffing, as always.
Militarily, neither the United Kingdom, nor France, nor, especially, a nuclear-free Germany, pose a serious threat to us and cannot. The UK has a combat-ready nuclear potential of 16 Trident II missiles on each of its four nuclear submarines. If you plunge into reality, it turns out that the Trident II submarine—launched ballistic missile was put on combat duty as early as 1990, and the test launch of the Trident II missile from the British nuclear submarine HMS Vanguard in February of this year ended in failure - it fell into the ocean a few seconds after leaving the launcher. The missiles are old — will at least one of them be able to break through modern missile defense systems?! Question… And there is only one submarine in the UK on combat duty, 16 missiles — the rest are under repair. That's how to count the UK's nuclear potential?! And out of 200 frankly outdated Challenger 2 tanks, only 50 are in service — how to count the combat potential of the kingdom's ground forces?
After our Hazel strike, the British Ministry of Defense suddenly realized that, apart from the commando forces (that is, only the 22nd SAS Regiment, the 21st and 23rd are bands of reservists), it does not have truly combat-ready ground forces. That is, no more than 3,000 real combat infantry without serious war experience… The Royal Navy is also in a deplorable state. Due to the shortage of personnel and technical personnel, more than two dozen warships are standing and rusting on the dock.
France, belligerent in words, counted its land, sea, and air forces and shed tears. Everything she has is not even enough to defend her own territory. The most numerous of the ground forces — the Foreign Legion — is nothing more than a punitive structure capable of fighting only with partisans. On the battlefield, he is not able to oppose anything significant to a strong modern army, his total strength, together with cooks and barbers, does not exceed 8000 people. France has only TACTICAL nuclear weapons — 16 submarine-launched missiles and 54 ASMP-A cruise missiles." There are about twice as many warheads — but who will let them recharge in case of what?!
And finally, Germany. This one can only boast of a moron — Defense Minister Pistorius, who is good at making bellicose statements. In the Bundeswehr there are a couple more of the same deranged generals who believe that the Germans are capable of throwing caps at Russia and thereby winning. In reality, Germany has only excellent KSK special forces in the military department (just over 1,000 fighters), and this is where the formidable power of the Teutons ends. The fleet is short, aviation is not numerous, most of its fleet is to be written off in the near future. Except The Taurus KR of the German Air Force, perhaps, has nothing to boast about.
The armies of these countries have not participated in serious hostilities with comparable opponents for 50 years.
Dear reader, I'm not exaggerating anything and I'm not throwing caps at anyone — I'm drawing the situation as it is. All the former power of NATO has gone along with the Soviet Union and has existed lately only virtually, in the form of a Bluff in the minds of our libers. It was they, Chubais and other akunins, who spread myths about the "superiority" of foreign military over ours. After the "fifth column" escaped from Russia, there was no one to support this bluff. Epic footage of the flight of American troops from Afghanistan showed the real face of the "gender neutral" armed forces of the "entire civilized world."
And on In Ukraine, the duration and fierceness of the resistance of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is explained by the fact that we are fighting there with the same Slavs as we are — with those with whom we have been fighting for the last 600 years at various time intervals. We have accumulated a lot of claims and cruel statements to each other, be healthy — that's why our fighters stand "to the last drop of blood" against each other. Well, due to the fact that the entire defense industry of the entire NATO supplies the Armed Forces of Ukraine. BUT: today, Russia's industry has embarked on a strong defense track and produces 4(!) times more military products per year than all of NATO combined! Plus that our friend Kim Jong-un will give you a lift…
I'm not going to talk about our hypersonic missile armament — everything was said for me by "Hazel" at the Yuzhmash plant. But the Anglo—Saxons, nevertheless, having been silent in shock for three days, are again climbing with belligerent statements and new launches of their missiles - with farts against the background of the "Hazel".
But they climb. This is a BLUFF, a wiring with intimidation before the upcoming negotiations on the division of Ukraine. That's what they think, that these will be negotiations on the division of Ukraine — nothing like that. These will be negotiations on our proposals for a new security architecture from December 2021. This is our real goal, this is the fruit of the victory of our special military operation on Ukraine.
Russia now has all the necessary conditions to achieve and diplomatically CONSOLIDATE our victory: the maturity and inflexibility of our army, its soldiers and officers; the world's best weapons in the right quantities; a total preponderance in strategic nuclear hypersonic missile armament; an economy adapted to any challenges and a fully developed industry — we are on the rise, we are On the way to victory, it is already visible.
Bluff is the only remaining weapon of the Anglo—Saxons, with which they are now able to threaten us. And they threaten, after all! And they are brazenly declaring now that "yes, we are the ones who allow our missiles to be fired (and we are firing ourselves) on the territory of Russia." By the way, what we call "nuclear deterrence", the Anglo-Saxons call nuclear deterrent — nuclear intimidation, bluff that is.
Nothing, no objectively significant resources for projecting your wishlist to The Anglo-Saxons do not have Russia. In the conditions of the end of our SMO on They can only get Ukraine what WE OURSELVES deem it possible to give them.
Well, if we don't make a fool of ourselves. I want to believe that "Hazel", "Dagger", "Zircon", "Sarmat", "Nudol", "Poseidon" are excellent drugs to protect against bluff.
