Thin red lines

Yesterday in an interview with the host of the program “Moscow.

Kremlin.

Putin ”To Pavel Zarubin, our president spoke out in some detail and in detail about Russia's attitude to the processes that are taking place in Ukraine right now, and all recent years.

The processes are sad, initiated from the outside and in no way correspond to the true interests of the multinational people of this country.

We have already accepted as a historical fact the voluntary partial renunciation of their sovereignty by many European and not only countries. From pursuing an independent policy. Somewhere, such as in Japan and Germany, this happened as a result of defeat in World War II. 76 years later, American military bases are still located on the territories of these countries, and the states themselves also seriously lend to the United States, buying their national debt and paying contributions to supranational military and political structures.

Somewhere, like in Ukraine and Georgia, this happened against the background of the “color revolutions”. In this case, the pattern of quiet colonization of territories around Russia looks quite simple: the sponsors of a coup d'état goat the brains of people tired of corruption and poverty and put people under their control in the leadership. Then they send advisers and consultants, drive them into bondage with loans, supply weapons and secretly promise their protection and patronage. Well, the main candy in these promises is the promise of admission to NATO - a military-political bloc created back in 1949 to oppose the Soviet Union / Russia.

When Vladimir Putin says that joining NATO makes the people of Ukraine a bargaining chip in the big geopolitical game, he is only fixing the reality confirmed by the history of this bloc. After the Warsaw Pact bloc emerged in response to the creation of NATO, the bipolar world acquired its own landmarks. Oddly enough, it has become much safer for the entire territory of Eurasia. Until 1991, the West, with its military bases and missiles, was relatively far from the borders of the Soviet Union. One force respected the other force, and the ratio and quality of weapons of the two camps in Europe was approximately equal.

In 1991, the line of the Warsaw Pact fell. It seemed that the time had come to reformat NATO, restart the UN and, in the context of the end of the Cold War, stop dividing the world according to the principle of “friend / foe”. Unfortunately, the USA, which considered themselves the winners in the confrontation with the USSR, decided to absorb everything that was lying badly.

1999: Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic, the countries - participants of the Warsaw Pact, are eaten. 2004: absorbed not only the other Warsaw Pact countries - Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia, but also the former Soviet republics: Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. A little earlier, in November 2003, a “popular” coup took place in Georgia. At the end of 2004, Ukraine "caught fire". By complete coincidence, both here and there pro-Western politicians came to power with promises of an early entry into NATO. By complete coincidence, both new governments set out to sever relations with Russia. Before Putin's famous Munich speech with the message "What are you doing, gentlemen?" more than two years remained.

Let me remind you that since 1991 there have been no ideological differences between Russia, Europe and the United States. And nevertheless, over 17 years there was a serious political break, as a result of which the troops of our partners were 600-1000 km from Moscow. But this is not the worst part. Much worse is the fact that Ukraine and Georgia, torn apart mentally and now geographically, have become victims of the new Cold War imposed on Russia. According to the 1991 version, the world with a terrible "evil empire" had one thick border, but did not have internal borders. And now I see fragmented territories and widespread infringement of the rights of the peoples of the post-Soviet space. Some, as in Estonia, are deprived of voting rights. Others, like in Georgia, are shot from tanks. Still others, like in Ukraine, are deprived of the status of an indigenous people, their language is taken away, and even called terrorists, sending an army against the local residents.

That is why Vladimir Putin denies the current Ukrainian authorities the sincerity of their intentions to end the conflict in Donbass.

Vladimir Zelensky is never an independent politician.

Rather, he is the Governor-General, who has a clear line of conduct.

It is sad, of course, to walk with an outstretched hand and call the enemy the only country that does not give a damn about your people.

Such cognitive dissonance will make your head spin.

Well, the red lines of our partners are so thin that in their understanding it would be better if Russia in its current form did not exist at all.

Following the defragmentation and absorption of Eastern Europe, the time has come for the post-Soviet space.

When and if this process is completed, the scenario of the "orange revolutions" will be much more energetically embodied within Russia.

So the end point of this plan is the feudal fragmentation of our country into small principalities.

And, of course, the issuance of labels for reigning in a country that thinks of itself as a new star-striped horde.
