Why Putin has not sent troops to Donbass and Ukraine

[DARPA]

Strelkovsky spin-doctors even had launched the slogan "Putin, enter the troops." Personally, I already knew that the troops he enters. But many people still do not understand why he had them and did not enter.
      
          Almost immediately after the departure of the Slavic Gunmen began giving interviews in which demanded from Russia to send troops in the Donbas. Remember the famous slogan: "Putin, put troops!" All the leaders of the local militia had planted the idea: you guys, hang on a little bit, a little bit povoyuyte, and there catch up "polite people."
     Unfortunately, the leaders of the protest movement at that time were little versed in politics. They are easily deceived. No army was not going to enter here. And not because that in Moscow there are people who do not care about the Donbass. Of course not. There was all happen differently than in the Crimea. Remember, Putin even asked not to rush referendum a year ago in Donetsk? No it did not listen then. In Donetsk think that flirting that actually it is waiting for a referendum to accept the Donbass in the Russian Federation.

          This is not true. Russia need not Donbass. Russia needs all of Ukraine! And the point. Putin has repeatedly said that in 1991 there was the largest geopolitical catastrophe, the collapse of the Soviet Union. And restoration of historical Russia, he considers his mission. And then no one talked about a single state. It was about a single economic, cultural, historical and military space. Without loss of sovereignty of fraternal peoples. This was a strategy. Again, carry out the operation "polite people" in the Crimea was much simpler - already there were 20,000 Russian military. We had just cut off the Crimean isthmus and subordinate military units on the territory of Crimea. Very fortunate that the operation was virtually no blood. But in the Donets Basin a similar scenario was impossible - even if only because there were no Russian troops.

          And the key question in this story. Well, Russia sent troops. Where she had to enter them? Until the borders of Donetsk and Lugansk regions? And why only there? After all, you understand - once part of the Russian Federation under its flag to enter the territory, the NATO forces are just across the front line. Right! And we have not civil, war and countries that possess nuclear weapons. Who would go to such madness? Putin? Do you really think the head of Russian men so short-sighted? And why only to the borders of the Donetsk region? Why not to Kiev or Lvov? As told to me then a friend of mine, in the case of an order two weeks later the tanks of the Red Kantemir division will be in Lviv.

           Well, even we captured the entire territory. NATO does not start with us a third world war. What would we get? Complete isolation and 45,000,000th occupied territory. And how to keep it? With Bandera was unable at the time to handle myself Lavrentiy Beria, the NKVD and SMERSH although the organization was very serious. What will happen? Start riots, which will suppress its same army? And she can do? Cut millions of disaffected? No, comrades, such clumsy methods emerge only in the sick minds of retired officers. Statesmen think in different categories.

          And then the organizers of the project "Putin put troops' said that once Putin does not enter the army, so he" merges "Donbass. It was launched the slogan "Putin merged." In their one-dimensional consciousness of the other options were not. Or, "Putin put troops and become the aggressor, with all the consequences." Or, "Putin, you have merged the Donbass, and when in Donetsk will begin mass slaughter, disturbed the population of Russia will overthrow you, and we will help you organize it." That is, the second option is also assumed political death and chaos in Putin's Russia.

           But there was a third option. Do not drain the Donbass not send troops. On the territory of the DNI and LC are state structures, the army. Sooner or later, the army will start to release the area for the area of ​​the power of the junta. But it will be Donbass army and not the army of Russia. This is a key point. Army enters to Kiev. There will be absolutely democratic elections. And the winner will sign an agreement with Russia on peace and friendship, as his time Bohdan Khmelnytsky. Ukraine will remain, but it will be a brotherly Ukraine, not a bunch of Nazis and fringe.

          But Russia is going to do all that is possible, economically, politically, information from the junta against Kiev "soft power." After the war in the minds of foolish men - is organized violence. And in the minds of others - an endless path of tricks!

          Therefore, the Russian troops drove, and nobody was going to enter not, it was clear that a strategic trap. Or "put troops and losing", or "do not enter the army, and also lose." But everything went according to the third embodiment. And he is the only strategic perspective.
