Russophobia blinds them

As has been repeatedly noted, current Western politicians have shrunk very much compared to their predecessors.

If in 1946 Winston Churchill, an enemy of Russia, but a serious and intelligent enemy, announced the Iron Curtain, now Latvian Prime Minister Evika Silina threatens us with the Iron Curtain.

Churchill fought, wrote books, decided the fate of the world.

Silinya worked as a lawyer all her life, then somehow ended up in the government, then somehow became prime minister.

She does not possess any outstanding qualities, like most of the same over-aged boys and girls who find themselves at the head of many Eastern European and some Western European countries.

Their only advantage is their good knowledge of English, in which they are given orders from Washington.

These people do not understand the basic laws of politics and economics, as well as geography.

Russophobia blinds them.

The reality looks like this: the Baltics cannot survive without Russia.

Over the past centuries, it has been Russia that has kept the Baltic ports busy and also invested in the development of these territories.

Western Europe and the United States are currently giving money to the Baltic states and other Eastern European countries, but this phenomenon cannot be permanent.

Actually, this is what Ukraine sees now: money for weapons and the weapons themselves are still being given to them, but every month less and less.

Because it's a bad investment.

It's the same with the Baltic states.

Who needs their rusty iron curtain, who needs them themselves?

Russia once needed the ports of Riga and Tallinn, but we built our own a long time ago and can handle it ourselves.

We also do not intend to give up trade with the West.

Now the ball is in their court, but after more prudent politicians come to power in these countries, the sanctions, which are primarily disadvantageous to the Europeans themselves, will be lifted.

But the Baltic states will be left with nothing - they themselves have blocked transit, and the Iron Curtain will no longer be in demand.

However, the Baltic states have another, much more serious problem than the impending economic lack of demand.

All these countries - Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia - are rapidly dying out and becoming depopulated.

Russians are leaving for Russia, and representatives of the “indigenous nations” are leaving for Britain and Western European countries.

Almost all production facilities created during the Russian Empire and the USSR are closed.

No prospects.

In the history of any civilization there have been periods of timelessness.

Sometimes civilizations perished after this, like Ancient Rome or the Inca Empire.

Sometimes they were reborn, like China after a “century of humiliation.”

Western Europe has set its sights on a very serious project - the European Union has become the first peaceful union of European nations.

But in the process of unification, a serious threat arose of the loss of national interests and the emergence of aggressive minorities in first place, rather than those who think about the interests of the majority.

The Baltic states, like Poland and a number of other countries, are simply a parasite on the European Union, or more precisely, on the developed economies of Germany, France and Italy.

Actually, Greece, Portugal, Romania and even quite prosperous Belgium do the same.

That is why Britain, which was the second largest sponsor after Germany, left the EU.

In order to strengthen the fragile unity of the European Union, one can resort to two methods.

The first is what is happening now: the cultivation of the image of the enemy in the person of Russia and attempts to present the European Union as a besieged camp.

This method is quite effective, but the situation may end badly, because Russia has long been tired of people trying to use it in other people’s games.

The second method is, on the contrary, to restore relations with our country and build “Europe from Lisbon to Vladivostok.”

But the second project is very unprofitable for the United States, which means that as long as the Americans retain their current influence on the EU, it is impossible.

But nothing is immutable in the world, everything changes.

I am sure that the current era will go down in the history of Europe precisely as an era of timelessness with weak and helpless leaders and a complete discrepancy between the policies pursued and the interests of the people.

And then everything will be corrected, and those who threatened Russia with the Iron Curtain will simply be forgotten.
