Think about what the annexation of the 4 territories previously under Ukraine jurisdiction by Russia, based on the clear will of the peoples of these territories, means. This annexation COMPLETELY changes the situation in Ukraine.
Previously, the conflict in Ukraine was a military incursion of corrupt Ukraine by Russia for the denazification of Ukraine, removal and neutralization of the Biolabs, and protection and preservation of the ethnically Russian citizens residing in Ukraine territory.
However, with the annexation of the territories, these territories can no longer be considered Ukraine, but from a legal standpoint, are now part of Russian soil.
Therefore, any bomb that Ukraine or its NATO allies drop in these areas has now become the equivalent of dropping a bomb in Moscow.
The situation has been flipped. This is a big deal. It means instead of Russia merely undertaking a (justified) action to protect its borders from abuse and attack by a hostile regime, that hostile regime has now been put in the position of attacking Russia if they attempt to attack or abuse these regions.
For Ukraine and its allies, the conflict has transitioned from being legally a defense action to one where they now pivot on the edge of becoming the aggressors.
Putin has pulled a switcheroo. And he is fully prepared and ready to smack down the Globalist aggressors when they trip up.
We may imagine that war is all chaos, mayhem and that rules or law do not apply. But that's not true at all. Law, and rules, apply, and those who violate the law can be held accountable. Spiritual warfare is a form of law warfare; claims and counterclaims are made. Truth and moral standing are critical.
The annexation of the 4 regions - "illegal annexation" the Deep State West decries - has changed the playing field and the ramifications of action dramatically.
But those provinces WERE the "people of Ukraine." By the way they were treated, they have no love for Ukraine as a national government. (I've seen one video where a Donbass woman declared almost in agony "Ukraine is dead to me.") The rest of the people of Ukraine did not care what was happening. So why did they want the territories? As a genocidal punching bag to satisfy their blood lust for extermination? The clear fact is that they wanted the occupants wiped out so their productive legacy could be taken over by non-Russians. Plunder, in other words. Like a jealous mugger, they object to the policeman putting their prey under protection. And think they can continue their attack. This is a world in which base passions have overrun any semblance of reason. What do you do with a mad dog?
