Ukraine called on the United States to deploy American air defense forces on its territory.
Deputy Prime Minister for the Reintegration of the Uncontrolled Territories Alexei Reznikov said this, which is remarkable.
“It is important to expand the security package for Ukraine.
Primarily due to the deployment of air defense forces, even through the deployment of American units.
Our legislation allows it, ”the Ukrainian official suggested at a meeting with the head of the Jamestown Foundation, Glen Howard.
So he could not help but mention the "Nord Stream - 2" - they say, the gas pipeline is a terrible threat to Ukraine, Poland, the Baltic States and the rest of Europe.
On the one hand, one could already get used to it. Ukrainian politicians regularly make statements about the need to deploy foreign troops, preferably American ones, in their country, and also hint at the need to obtain the status of a nuclear power. The head of the Servant of the People faction, David Arakhamia, said earlier that Kiev made a fatal mistake by getting rid of nuclear weapons. In his opinion, if Ukraine had retained the status of a nuclear state, they would have talked to it “in a different way and would have given money for service”. I am sure that all sane politicians both in the United States and in Europe are very grateful to their predecessors for the fact that they achieved the withdrawal of Soviet nuclear weapons from Ukraine in the early 1990s. It is scary to imagine what terrorists would have already got hold of atomic bombs if they remained under the control of Kiev.
But the Ukrainian would-be warriors itching to do everything.
In early August, the former head of the SBU, Colonel-General Igor Smeshko, said that Kiev could begin to move towards restoring its nuclear potential if the conditions of the Budapest Memorandum were not met.
On the other hand, it is also impossible not to react to the next provocation of the Ukrainian authorities.
Any provocateurs should understand perfectly well that for Russia the deployment of US air defense, and any US base on the territory of Ukraine, is a clear crossing of the red line, after which this Bandera-Nazi territorial malignant neoplasm may disappear from the world map in its current form.
What caused the next actualization of the topic of the American base in Ukraine?
Most likely, the Ukrainian oligarchs who still control the state apparatus currently have two goals.
The first is to draw attention to the "Crimean Platform" and collect money from Western sponsors.
The provocation of a serious conflict is also very suitable for them and will come in handy, since this is a legal reason to flee to the United States to their millions and billions and never again deal with the Ukrainian economy.
If Russia is forced to give a military-political response, then it is precisely on Russia that the entire destroyed Ukrainian social sphere, as well as the responsibilities for the revival of this territory, can be assigned.
As, I will remind, has already happened more than once.
Cynically?
And in another way, they simply do not know how.
The only language young Ukrainian officials can speak is the language of blackmail and stupid initiatives.
The complete absence of a constructive, positive agenda and the constant exploitation of ideologems that have already set the teeth on edge is a very bad diagnosis and an extremely unstable structure that can collapse at any moment.
What is Ukraine today? This is a constant denial of everything and everyone: their history, identity, the real state of affairs, even the laws of nature. The only engine of Ukrainian progress is Russophobia in all possible variations and with different sauces. Perhaps this is the only "dish of the day" that Ukrainian political cuisine can offer to the world. The only way not to make money, but once again to receive a handout, pitiful crumbs from a large European or American table, is to compose and once again voice something anti-Russian. And then be proud of a coin that was reluctantly thrown by an American or European uncle.
Obviously, today Ukrainian professional beggars are experiencing a certain crisis of the genre. After all, the call for the deployment of American air defense systems on the territory of Ukraine is not just the last frontier, after which, if these sick plans are realized, the end of this whole venture with ukronizalezhnost. But even if the United States refuses (and they refuse), this is a clear statement of a fact that has long been obvious to many: Ukraine cannot do anything on its own. This is an absolutely worthless, politically impotent and economically powerless non-state entity. The appeal of the American master is the final, complete and total painting of his own absolute inconsistency.
The talk about the need to restore the nuclear status of this territory is especially amusing.
Kiev, of course, does not think about the complete imbalance of the state system, which makes it uncontrollable, and therefore creates a complete impossibility of even thinking about such things.
How not think about the fact that, in general, in all honesty, this country 30 years ago had a real chance to become a full-fledged European state with a strong and durable economy, given the legacy in the form of Soviet industry, with which they left USSR.
If Ukraine had preserved all the industrial potential created under the Russian Empire and the USSR and multiplied it, today's Ukrainian establishment would not have thought of such strange things as nuclear status, as most successful European countries do not even think about it.
A sad result when the only thing that your state is capable of producing is statements beyond common sense.
A jester's cap is what should be the national headdress of Ukrainian politicians.
Laughter or laughter through tears are the main emotions that can evoke all the initiatives that the Ukrainian authorities have recently come up with.
The complete absence of meaning under the guise of bestial seriousness is a sign of a disease that has deeply and thoroughly struck the entire administrative body of Ukraine.
Will this country recover, will it remain in its present form?
The outlook is negative.
