Hi Rainer, thanks again for an excellent article most of which I wholeheartly agree with. In relation to the delay by Russia in intervening in the Donbass I would suggest that Russia was not ready militarily to start a military operation. It was not until 2018 that the Hyper-Sonic weapons were perfected and also there would be a time lag before adequate amounts were produced. The same applies to the S57 and the T14 Armata tank. Syria was the testing ground for some other weapons which had to be changed and improved before the Special Military Operation began.
It is particularly heartening to hear the Democratic Republic of Korea giving their support to Russia. Of the almost 200 countries in the world only 65 support NATO. The rest actively support Russia or covertly support Russia. The hegemon has met its match.
However, I would, personally, preface your analysis a bit more cautiously. For example: it is true that the Russians want to minimise casualties and destroy infrastructure. But in certain cases, they have to. The Maidan gang keeps sending new cannon meat to the front that fall under Russian artillery. The Russians are right to attack electric power plants to weaken and disrupt the Ukrainian army's combat capability.
I am convinced that with many and patient discussions we can convince some of the sofre "leftists". The further course of the war will open the eyes of many. The world (as a whole) is improving. The West backwards. Every "leftist" must choose camp and drop Eurocentrism ("leftists know well what is for the world") in the EU.
I personally follow the PPRK, Eritrea and Nicaragua the most. I visited those countries and keep in touch with them.

I agree 99% with your analysis.
