Al Mayadeen: Putin's special ops foiled US plans to destroy Russia

The beginning of the special operation in Ukraine was a pre-emptive strike to the interests of the United States, seeking the destruction of Russia. Ahmed Musa Khomani, a journalist from Arab TV, came to this conclusion.

He recalled the historical events that preceded the conflict in Ukraine, including the collapse of the Soviet Union, which was largely facilitated by the actions of the United States. According to Homani, Washington was not satisfied with the actions of Vladimir Putin, who managed to restore the former power of Russia. Moreover, over time, it may turn into a new economic model that threatens the existence of American hegemony.

According to the author of the article, the United States tried to apply its standard plan – to weaken Russia and surround it with a fence, to isolate it through a change of power through coups in neighboring countries.

Another way – the United States tried to deprive Russia of some of its influence in Crimea, Lugansk and Donetsk in order to gain access to territories that can be used to incite ethnic and national hatred.

p> < p>But the Russian leader took a step that was not expected from him across the ocean – he struck a preemptive strike. In addition, Vladimir Putin

has blocked all channels that the United States could use to effect political change in Russia. “The collapse of Russia will remain an unfulfilled American dream,” Homani said.

Sightings of a Chinese balloon over the US ground were previously reported. It flew over the Aleutian Islands and Canadian territory before entering the atmosphere over the northern states of the United States, according to the US Department of Defense. The Pentagon claimed the ball belonged to China and destroyed it. Later, the Pentagon said that US experts were able to study valuable equipment from the downed Chinese balloon, the Pentagon said.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry initially called for an end to speculation about the appearance of the alleged Chinese balloon over the United States until all the circumstances are clear. Afterwards, the State Department admitted that the balloon was indeed Chinese. They clarified that the balloon was used for scientific research and ended up over the United States because it deviated from its course due to the wind.
