Bundestag deputy: You can criticize Putin, but you can not neglect the interests of Russia

75

It is possible and necessary to criticize Putin, but you should not neglect Russia and ignore its interests. Especially now, when after voting on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, his power in the country and influence in the world have strengthened.

This is discussed by a member of the Bundestag and one of the leaders of the German "Left Party" Gregor Gisi in an interview with Deutschlandfunk radio station.



After the overwhelming majority of Russians have approved the amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, the incumbent President Vladimir Putin has the opportunity to run for the next election twice more. Thus, if he nominates himself and can win, he will remain in power until 2036.

Gizi calls this move of Putin “a clever maneuver”, because the restriction on two presidential terms remains, but the previous terms of the current head of state do not count. According to the German politician, he could be envied by Donald Trump, who would also like to remain president forever.

A recent vote confirmed that the rating of confidence in Putin in the country remains high. According to Gizi, perhaps this does not apply to megacities such as Moscow or St. Petersburg, but in the regions the majority of Russians support his policy.

Russia and its leader have become even stronger. This also indicates that external pressure from Western countries on the Russian Federation is not bearing fruit.

For some reason, they rarely mention that Putin back in 2001 was open to rapprochement with the West. He offered cooperation in economics, politics, culture, and was even ready for the interaction of special services and the armed forces. But the West behaved arrogantly, which caused a cooling of relations.

The pressure policy not only does not help, but even forces Russia to develop in those industries that were previously in a "hibernation mode". Gizi believes that it is time to lift the sanctions and regain mutual trust between Russia and the West:

We must warn Putin of certain things, but he must be sure that we will no longer push him into the background, we will not constantly deploy our military at his borders and the like. This is not now. No relationship based on trust.



According to Gizi, if the West takes steps towards Putin, then Putin will go towards the West.

        I am not a fan of GDP, but with all the minuses I’m sure that for example Mishiko he will not give a hand. But with EBNe and Gorbi, all the more, there was no such confidence.

          V. Putin forgave Cuba $ 32 - the data on the debt of the USSR. And they could "pay" from this debt to the base in Lourdes ... as far as I remember, in a year, for Lourdes they paid up to $ 000 (consider how much would be enough ...). For example, the interest on the debt for the base in Lourdes.

          Where did you see the praise of Russia in the article? The deputy did not praise Russia, but criticized the Western policy towards Russia. It is clearly and clearly stated that Russia is like that, because, firstly, it is what it is, and secondly, the West itself pushes it to steps that are unpopular in the West. In a word, the third law of dynamics is "Any action causes equal opposition." So, the harder they press, the more they will be surprised.

              No, not alarming. This is the "cry from the heart" of the West, whose economy is gradually stagnating during the crisis. The main thesis of the article is that sanctions and an aggressive economic policy towards Russia hit the very west first of all. But it was not the politicians who suffered, who make money, so to speak, by mouth, but the entrepreneurs who had real economic ties with Russia. In general, the reasoning of this deputy is just a voice of common sense, which does not fit into the general (rather absurd) Western political trend. Which once again shows that politics is not all rational.

    The German left has been talking about this for a long time, repeatedly offering to lift sanctions against Russia and explaining their detriment to Germany itself. But they still don’t want to hear this voice, besides Ukraine is hanging on its feet, which is high time to throw it off, but political ambitions and a false sense of solidarity do not allow this to be done.

    Now we need to prove with examples and facts that Putin’s interests are connected with the well-being and prosperity of Russia.
    A recent vote confirmed that the rating of confidence in Putin in the country remains high.

    Eternal power brought on bayonets of an administrative resource? Everyone understands that voting on the amendments legally yielded nothing. The referendum gives confidence, and not auto-voting stretched out in time and in the luggage racks.
    It is clear why the reincarnation of Chernomyrdin is so happy. Only he forgot that the Russian is good, the German - death.

    It is possible and necessary to criticize Putin, but you should not neglect Russia and ignore its interests. Especially now, when after voting on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, his power in the country and influence in the world have strengthened.

    Putin’s power was almost absolute even before the Constitution was amended.
    So the introduction of amendments, one of which is the cancellation of the term of the presidency, cannot be considered an increase in power.
    But at the expense of influence in the world, the one here, excuse me, but this is completely absurd.
    Whom have we not yet influenced?
    In the United States have provided.
    In the EU have provided.
    So it turned out that the imposition of sanctions against the Russian Federation became for many a national fun.
    African countries had a very strong influence.
    An effect such as writing off debts is generally enchanting nonsense.
    We have a very serious impact on Japan.
    Previously, when they did not influence, she didn’t open her mouth about the Kuril Islands.
    And with increasing influence, the Japanese are in ecstasy struggling from the prospect of getting islands.

    I could continue to list Putin’s increased influence in the world, but I don’t want to be upset.

      Why does the State Department or Echo need to change Putin? Its own in the board, the screen of the oligarchy. Everyone is full, happy. The people are proud of him and love him laughing And then some Stalin will come, not far from trouble.

    It's not about Putin. And in Germany - it's time to scratch her turnip - either she is an actor in world politics, or she will roll along the path of Great Britain to the second echelon of still developed countries - subsidizing the wishes of the United States. There is no third way left for it - Southeast Asia will soon outstrip the old "golden billion" in everything, with or without America.
    And Russia - the owner of the golden share - for Germany for sure. May help stay in the lead. Or it may not help.
    But it’s not for Germany to judge our behavior, it’s for itself to decide on itself - nothing more.
    We forgave her a lot of things, gave a lot of things - and this is not good for us. So, from now on, we should not expect such a line of behavior from us in the next thousand years.
    And German politicians on this subject should not worry anymore - we are no longer very interested in this.

    laughing The pastor of the Evangelical Theological Academy of Hamburg, Ulrich Hentschel, proposed to cut his head to the monument to the "iron chancellor" of Germany Otto von Bismarck in Hamburg. “It is extremely important to break down the monumentality and strength of this monument,” the pastor pointed out. “In the end, old Bismarck should no longer dominate his heroic pose with the Hamburg sword.” ..... Bismaryaku - on a dime! laughing Source (in German)

    "... if the West takes steps towards Putin, then Putin will go towards the West."
    "East is East and West is West. And they will never meet." (Very old British imperial wisdom).

    And the pink veil from the eyes in relation to the West fell for some.


    It is a pity that only some ...

    That's for sure: unfortunately not everyone has seen. Some people want to believe in fairy tales and look at the world through pink or black glasses, and the world consists of many shades
