It looks like it's time to rename the US defense budget into the US anti-Russian budget.
No, of course, there are articles there that do not concern our country.
But the abundance of points aimed precisely at containing Russia is, of course, impressive.
I will list just a few:
Exclusion of the Russian Federation from international organizations, including the G20.
I remember that we were expelled from the G8 back in 2014.
And we ourselves left a large number of organizations because of the complete uselessness and even harmfulness of membership in them.
It’s a pity, not all of them - what we are still doing at the WHO, which is doing anything but improving public health, for which, in fact, it was created, I categorically do not understand.
And not only I think that we need to get out of this Gates sharashka the sooner the better.
As for the "isolation" of Russia from the international community, let me remind you about BRICS.
According to Sergei Lavrov, this successfully operating organization can turn into an association of 15-17 countries, if all applications are satisfied.
Well, in the G20, the word of the United States is weighty, but not decisive - let's recall the amendments that Russia, not without difficulty, but made to the final document of the recent summit.
Move on.
Sanctions for participation in gold and foreign exchange transactions with Russia.
Excuse me, is this the budget of the military, and not the financial department?
Interestingly, if the Ministry of Defense of any other country began to take into account in its budget measures to combat someone's gold and foreign exchange reserves, how loud cries about "militarization", "junta" and so on would rise?
And it's okay, please.
It is necessary, probably, to recommend the United States not to pretend, but to create a joint military-financial headquarters.
Although de facto he has been working for them for so long.
Third: bans on military cooperation, exchange of information on missile defense systems, and so on - this is only an increase in tension.
Even during the most serious escalations during the first cold war, these issues were discussed.
Since the US Department of Defense does not have suicide bombers, it is obvious that this cooperation will be resumed after the first serious incident.
Because otherwise, the entire planet Earth is at risk.
Well, the allocation of funding in the amount of $6 billion to contain Russia in Europe and $800 million for Ukraine is already a routine.
It is clear that Ukraine will be armed until the West physically runs out of weapons or ceases to desire.
Well, or until Ukraine ends, which is also likely.
In any case, it clearly follows from the main financial document of the main American ministry that the United States remains the main destabilizing factor in the world, that they intend to fight to the last for their hegemony and put spokes in the wheels of anyone who is suspected of encroaching on their sole leadership in all regions peace.
Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov taught Russia to fight not by numbers, but by skill.
Of course, we can theoretically throw all the resources of the budget into the military sphere, but a similar mistake was already made in the USSR, and it did not lead to anything good.
And the United States, in fact, wasted most of its billions and trillions invested in the arms race against the Soviet Union - the American military threat did not accelerate the disintegration of our country for a minute, but rather the opposite.
Therefore, the main task of Russia now is to calmly go about its own business, to conduct the NMD until the goals set by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief are achieved, to deepen ties with friendly countries that do not want the continuation of American hegemony, to look for allies within unfriendly countries, remembering that the current policy of American puppets is headed by fewer and fewer residents of NATO member states support their states.
The Cold War is always a war of depletion of resources and a test of the internal stability of the warring states.
The United States still has a lot of resources, just as the USSR had quite enough of them.
But their stability is really bad: the confrontation between Democrats and Republicans has been teetering on the brink of civil war since 2016.
So our goal is to preserve our internal unity and integrity, and the United States will cope there on its own, no matter how many tens of billions they invest in the military sphere.
When brother stands up against brother, it will not help them.
Rather, on the contrary.
