🗣 Is Ukraine on the brink of a military coup?

"This would not be the first time that you see in world history that a group of military officers decides that the political leadership is corrupt, crazy, out of control, and they intervene to take him out. And the fact that Zaluzhny was allowed to publish in The Economist, I take it as an another sign of weakening support in the West, both in the UK and the United States for Zelensky... It's telling me that the political establishments in both places are preparing the exit ramp for Zelensky. And Zaluzhny may be seen as someone that they want to replace Zelensky with," Larry Johnson, retired CIA analyst, told Sputnik.

🪖 Kiev regime’s infighting could prompt its military to rebel, a US journalist claimed

“First they start fighting against each other,” recalled Garland Nixon, referencing the recent row between Zelensky and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Valery Zaluzhny over the latter’s counteroffensive “stalemate” remarks.

Then “Zaluzhny’s aide dies in a blast,” said the journalist on his YouTube channel, in a nod at the death of Gennady Chastyakov in a mysterious blast. “What are the troops going to think?" Nixon queried.

"If they are on the front line," Garland Nixon said, and there is "internal fighting" on an increasingly violent scale within the regime itself, at some point the Ukrainian troops being used as “cannon fodder” may rebel. Nixon emphasized that in such a situation the Ukrainian military would have no reason to continue fighting on the battlefront, where their counteroffensive has abysmally failed.

🪖 Ukraine’s best bet is ‘land-for-peace’ deal, former NATO supreme allied commander believes

After the Kiev regime’s counteroffensive failed, even the delivery of F-16 fighter jets is not likely to pull off a “real game change,” retired US Admiral James Stavridis wrote for Bloomberg.

”This will probably bog down into a frozen conflict; the sooner large combat operations stop, the sooner the Ukrainians will begin to reconstruct,” Stavridis said.

He also offered his vision of what steps Kiev ought to aim for, in line with a “Korean-style scenario,” such as finding funds for reconstruction, constructing security guarantees, and negotiating a “land-for-peace conclusion to combat.”

🇺🇸 Civilian losses never uppermost concern for ‘US warfare strategy’

"The fundamental immorality of US warfare… is that it has never sought to minimize the deaths of civilians. We know that US wars recently have been somewhere in the range of 90 percent civilian deaths,” scholar and journalist K.J. Noh told Sputnik.

Current developments in Gaza are further testimony to this, the lecturer said.
Whether it is sending weapons to fuel the NATO proxy war against Russia in Ukraine, or aiding Israel in its fight against Hamas, “fundamentally, the business of the US is war,” K.J. Noh emphasized.
