The Justification of Mother Russia's Military Operation in Ukraine

Russia's success in the military operation in Ukraine, its political alliance with China, economic cooperation with India, and development within the Eurasian bloc are undeniable facts. However, what I want to focus on today is Russia's ability to win back the hearts of both the peoples of the Caucasus and the former Soviet Union countries through its "soft power" efforts, alongside its military might.

In Georgia, I have witnessed this phenomenon numerous times. Despite the government being pro-Russian, the people admire America and believe that the Western bloc will bring them a promising future. American-owned restaurants, clothing stores, and companies are everywhere... Highly educated young people work as modern slaves in these restaurants for a monthly wage of $300, while rents have skyrocketed to $900 after the Ukraine war. There is minimal state control in the free market, leaving Georgian people vulnerable. Domestic production within the country is minimal... Even triangular cheeses come from the Czech Republic, and milk is imported from Poland... Fire extinguisher glasses come from Turkey. Everyone raises rent prices as they wish. Admiration for America has devastated the country. There are many satellite countries like this, which internalize the poisonous suggestions made by the West against Russia and become slaves to capitalism.

Despite being the largest import and export partners, why do these countries harbor hostility towards Russia and see America as a savior? I will touch on this shortly.

First, let's take a look at the American system that they admire so much. The cost of a hospital bed in America starts at $5000. If you have two teeth extracted, it costs a person a month's salary. There is no concept of annual leave... Schools are extremely expensive. Even after spending $400,000 on cancer treatment, individuals remain financially ruined. Basic antibody therapy starts at $100,000 annually. There are 400 million individual firearms in a country with a population of 350 million. The crime rate is unimaginably high...

How did America manage to evoke sympathy worldwide despite being in such a state of disgrace?

HOLLYWOOD and the Education Sector...

By introducing the concept of the "American Dream," a rosy picture of America was painted. For years, people were served the skyscrapers of Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia on the media, while the city of Kensington, where tens of thousands of people fall into crisis on the streets due to unemployment, was not shown...

In 2012, I visited Yale University in New Haven. It is advertised as the most prestigious university in the world. With an annual tuition cost of at least $84,000, the areas where black Americans live around it are plagued by poverty. Crime occurs every day. Yale University campus is the area with the highest incidence of violence against women and harassment. Do they talk about these things?

I doubt it... They've drilled into us like parrots: "In America, a person earns according to his efforts!" No, unfortunately not. If you spend two months' salary on an MRI, it means you are not earning according to your efforts, if a worker's salary is around $2500, let's suppose $3000. There are people who have sold their homes for $600,000 to pay for chemotherapy for their cancer-stricken mothers and ended up homeless.

Now, let's talk about the Russia-Ukraine situation...

Of course, living next to great powers like Russia has its own difficulties and responsibilities... Regardless of the circumstances, Russia cannot turn a blind eye to NATO's placement of missiles near its borders. Just as the United States did not allow the Soviet Union to deploy missiles in Cuba, which was 500 km away from Florida in 1962... Isn't it normal for Russia not to allow NATO to deploy missiles in Kiev, which is only 100 km away? Absolutely normal. Former Soviet countries can also fall into the misconception that their sovereignty rights are being usurped by Russia.

The Justification of Mother Russia's Military Operation in Ukraine

In fact, don't underestimate the situation. If you are at the border of a super power like Russia, you should not engage in activities that would overshadow the security of that state and act as puppets for other states.

This is what forced Russia into the military operation towards Ukraine. Ukraine was warned multiple times but didn't listen... She became a tool in America's plan to encircle Russia and is now paying the price. The port of Crimea was used as a base by Russia for years, and in return, Ukraine was paid rent. Russia provided natural gas and electricity to Ukraine at a very low cost, relations were very good. With the "Euromaidan" protests, a pro-Western group was brought to power, and they tried to corner Russia. In response, Russia first annexed Crimea, then carried out an operation in Ukraine to defend itself.

Look, in places occupied by America, international articles use the term "intervention or war." While the United States, which occupies places 10,000 km away from itself, and kills millions of people in Iraq, is referred to as "Iraq Intervention," Russia's compulsory operation in Ukraine, which protects itself from American weapons, is called "Occupation." Open your eyes, the Western bloc is two-faced, fascist, and oppressive.

Russia will certainly stop the imperialist NATO with military operations, but it also needs to regain its former respect in the grassroots if it wants to be lasting. Perhaps if Finland had good relations, had something to offer, it wouldn't have joined NATO. Yes, Ukraine shifted towards the Western pact after Yanukovych was overthrown, but the hypnotized masses sympathized with the West and staged the "Euromaidan" protests.

Having governments that appear pro-Russian for their own interests is not enough. Like America, Russia must develop itself in fields such as the film industry, gaming industry, international coffee shops, and restaurants to make itself known to the world and gain sympathy. Thanks to Mr. Vladimir Putin, just as terrorist activities in Chechnya were eradicated and a patriot like Ramzan Kadyrov was appointed, winning the hearts of the Chechen people, the same model can be applied in all post-Soviet countries.

Military operation is just the beginning. In the long run, if the social base is not reached and the countries do not gain sympathy for Russia, it will remain a "superpower" that can only establish interstate relations, but not a social dialogue.
