German press: Moscow's long arm is in no hurry to grab someone

Russia is no longer actively interfering in the affairs of the former Soviet republics, and recently Putin has decided to reconsider his attitude to the events around the country. Ulrich Kroeckel came to this conclusion in his article for Frankfurter Rundschau.

According to the author of the article, a phase of reflection has begun in Russia: Moscow is deciding which former Soviet republics are really important for it from a geostrategic point of view, and which ones can be released “into free float,” even with an orientation toward the West or Turkey.

If a year ago Russia without any reservations considered the entire post-Soviet space to be a geopolitical sphere of its influence, then recently Moscow has been reacting to events in the former republics of the USSR calmly, as if what is happening does not interest it strongly. The events in the Caucasus, where the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia took place, became an example of this. Moscow patiently watched events in Nagorno-Karabakh for several weeks before intervening.

(...) the hand of Moscow, once very long, is no longer in a hurry to grab someone. Instead, the Kremlin prefers to influence processes from the outside with a minimum expenditure of manpower and resources.

- writes Kröckel.

The author is convinced that Moscow has chosen a new strategy based on an analysis of actions in Georgia, Syria and Ukraine since 2008. According to this analysis, the political and economic losses from military interventions, including the annexation of Crimea, far outweigh the benefits. Therefore, Moscow decided not to actively intervene in the events of Nagorno-Karabakh or the protests in Belarus.

Moscow deliberately takes a wait and see attitude and only signals that it can intervene under certain conditions. The new strategy allows Putin to avoid irreversible steps that would drive him into a dead end and entail a significant increase in damage due to new Western sanctions, the author sums up.

Did you just wake up? For the past 35 years, all and sundry have been doing this, and with special ecstasy. Under all sorts of "democratic" signs. However, the same thing happened a hundred years ago, and two hundred. There are "Decembrists", there are "Octobrists", there are "Anarchists", there is someone else. However, for some reason they hate only Stalin, for bringing order. Now, with the filing of "democrats" and "liberals", they formulate a new "hated personality". True to Stalin, this person, oh, how far away. Otherwise there would have been more order and no one would have whined that "everything is lost."

[Svarog]

Quote: orionvitt

The main thing is that Stalin did not do everything alone. Stalin is a man who managed to mobilize society around the idea of ​​socialism and he acted with associates who were ideological and believed in what they were doing. And today's personality is not even close and cannot be compared .. This personality who chose capitalism .. and the one who makes this choice is well aware that the choice is based on the oppression and robbery of the population of the whole country by a narrow group of people.

"Moscow decides which former Soviet republics are really important to it from a geostrategic point of view, and which ones can be released" to free float. "
Nobody goes on "free" swimming.

Except that supervision is carried out by other methods.
And not only the countries of the post-Soviet space are in the sphere of geopolitical interests.
Germany itself is also included in the zone of Russia's geopolitical interests.

[halpat]

But in my opinion, nothing has changed.
They want Russia to send troops everywhere and so on. Direct itching in one place in the collective West. But Russia does NOT regularly come to war, or rather it does, but only then and in such a way that the West can only bulge its eyes and gnash its teeth, introducing some regular sanctions, as a result of which Russia only increases its independence and power in the necessary sectors.

They (the West) make the same mistake all the time. Over the centuries.
Despite the objective indicators: the territory, the availability of natural resources, etc., including the historical experience of the wars against the Russians, they view Russia on their own small scale.
Let me explain - all of Germany (EU locomotive) can be traveled by car in 4-8 hours. Along and across, as they say. There are practically no minerals. You don't need to talk about other countries.
And they seem to see everything, they know, but they measure it all the same to their idiot. It's unrealistic to imagine the life of an elephant as an ant.

I'll tell you a story. In Soviet times, a group of physicists went to travel across the USSR. We took with us 2 German physicists from the Federal Republic of Germany, passed a bunch of nkhhemorroi with permits.
The highlight of the program was a steamer trip along the Yenisei Bay.
So you still need to get there :) is an adventure in itself. On 3-4 days of sailing, the Germans were completely quiet. And here is one of them, standing in the morning on the deck with binoculars, said:
Now I understand what a catastrophic mistake Hitler made in attacking Russia.

So it goes:))
Reflect further, gentlemen, Western journalists :))

They will "crawl" only when Russia becomes socially attractive. After all, practically all the fragments of the former Republic of Ingushetia have "crawled" into the impoverished, but actively developing Soviet Russia at the beginning of the last century. And all together they built a powerful welfare state.

[Dart]

Well, they are already crawling ... or do you just ignore such things?

In his letter, Reimanis points to some kind of informal agreement that Russia will not interfere with the flow of cargo to the ports of Latvia. But that is why it is informal, so that, if necessary, one of the parties could violate it without a twinge of conscience and legal consequences. If you don't believe me, ask the Americans, who once informally promised the Soviet Union not to expand NATO to the East ...

In the same message, Mr. Reimanis recalls the development of a new direction of freight traffic from Kaliningrad to St. Petersburg. Russia discussed this project with Latvian Railways, but ultimately refused to participate in it.

Latvians want to clarify: is the refusal final? Or will we try?
Former President of Latvia Valdis Zatlers considers this approach not only ineffective, but also humiliating: “A letter of supplication will not help,” he is sure. - This is the policy of Russia. Russian policy was formed not yesterday or last year, but 15 years ago. And it was clear that gradually less and less cargo would pass through Latvia, and maybe not at all. If we humiliate ourselves, we will be humiliated even more, and there will be no positive effect for the one who is weak and prays for something to be given. "

Author. Putin does not let anything take its course in the post-Soviet space. Putin punished Armenia with the hands of Turks and Azeris and got a military base. Earlier, Putin, with the hands of Erdogan, punished the intractable Kurds in the Syrian mountain Afrin using the same scheme. By the way, the operation of the Turks in Karabakh is like a tracing paper for their operation in mountain Afrin. Turkey and Azerbaijan would never have launched such a large-scale war against Armenia without agreeing with Putin that Russia would step aside

[hydrox]

Most likely, they were simply given 4-5 weeks: "What you can take from what you owe is yours, the rest will remain Karabakh."
In other words, the ending of the Azeri-Armenian war becomes completely incomprehensible.

Most likely, they were simply given 4-5 weeks: "What you can take from what you owe is yours, the rest will remain Karabakh."
In other words, the ending of the Azeri-Armenian war becomes completely incomprehensible.

And there is no "finished" (forgive me, Lord!). Zakanchalovo will be when the peacekeepers are asked to leave. Azerbaijan has regained its land, although not yet.

Quote: denis obuckov

Putin punished Armenia with the hands of Turks and Azeris and got a military base.

and before the bases were not there?
Were there any Turks in the Caucasus? before?

Quote: denis obuckov

Turkey and Azerbaijan would never have launched such a large-scale war against Armenia without agreeing with Putin that Russia would step aside

of course, in exchange for Syria and Libya. Only Syria and Libya are far away, and the Caucasus is near. Equally agreed?

[Peter rybak]

Quote: Overlock

Before, this is when? In Soviet times? Did not have. Because all this was one country - the USSR. And after its collapse, the base in Gabala (Azerbaijan) was asked to leave and she left. And the base in Gyumri lives for itself, however, not without annual excesses.
And the Turks have always been in the Caucasus. And in Azerbaijan there were pan-Turkist movements in the XNUMXth-XNUMXth centuries, which Russia suppressed in those days. But, as you can see, everything is returning to normal. The motto "two states - one people" has existed for more than one and a half hundred years. Then there was less strength to compete with Russia. And tapericha times have changed a little. In the event of any conflict, the world will never support Russia, because we hate everyone and everyone hates us.

No one negotiated anything with anyone. Russia knew about the coming war, but did not realize its scale, hoping that this was another outbreak that would once again fade away in the same outlines of borders.
But when the Russian air defense systems transferred to Armenia were crushed like bedbugs and the war of liberation reached the end, Russia intervened so as not to lose face. And this base is for saving face. God forbid, if 200 cargoes arrive from the Caucasus. The authority of our current government is so low that it will be taken out.

True, Russian capital is not interested there, and it stepped aside, writing to the native cattle that it was Russia that moved aside.

And I will consider the majority of the population of planet Earth to be a manageable herd who do not know how to think critically. After all, this is in fact the case.
Nedomaidan in Belarus with pro-fascist flags and a crowd of zmagars ended in nothing.

And Russia in the Transcaucasus received a whole region under its control. Military bases. Whose troops are there, he rules.

To understand the theses listed above, you just need to have critical thinking. Well, at worst, just use your brain

It is very simple: "for one beaten two unbeaten give, and even those do not take." Putin always follows this rule and is reluctant to change the penalty. Taperich to feed and milk them will be the lot of Germany. Brothers won't give Taperich a ride.

[Antokha]

The German author has difficulty thinking. Moscow looks at what it needs and what it doesn't. Putin has done this before. Russia needed Crimea, and they took it. And in the current conditions they would have taken it if it were repeated now. And the war between Armenians and Azerbaijanis is really of little interest to us. Donbass is not really needed, things are going on there. So is Georgia. We did not establish a puppet regime there, although many wanted to. We don't do that. There is no task, no experience. Therefore, they did not take Tbilisi. But Abkhazians with Ossetians can maintain their independence with minimal support from Russia. Excellent. Belarus is our land, here the author missed completely. But if all Belarusians want the Maidan, Russia will allow it. For the time being. Then it will be like in the Crimea. All these situations must mature. Putin does not pick unripe fruits.

Some inadequate conclusions. In Georgia, Saakashvili's warriors allowed themselves to kill Russian peacekeepers, and they received an answer that was quite adequate, although perhaps not even in full measure.
In Ukraine, they started to kill the Russian-speaking population - the result: boilers.
But in Belarus, or Karabakh ... well, not similar cases, anyway, or even more so the 28th revolution in Kyrgyzstan, the Maya in Moldova - to one degree or another concern us, of course, but they do not require our military response ...
Or what do they think to themselves in Germany? That since we in Karabakh did not climb to fight for anyone or against anyone, then specifically Germany will not get hit on the head by taking part in military actions against us? They shouldn't have doubted, there will be no more mistakes, and for the third time in a hundred years the decision will be unequivocal: we will not leave any such germaniums for ourselves, this does not meet our strategic interests.

Nonsense. First, Saakashvili is written with a capital letter. What were the Russian peacekeepers doing in a foreign country? Who got in to kill the Russian-speaking population in Ukraine? And if they did, then for what reason? Because of the squeezing out of Crimea?
And what about Belarus? Are we getting another nation to hate us?
How were you going to fight in Karabakh? Against who? Against Turkey, Azerbaijan and Pakistan, which, for a minute, also has nuclear weapons? And with all these countries Russia has economic ties and are not weak enough.

And neither the EU nor the UN should do this. This mission is a purely Russian idea. Yes, if there is a small shock in the country, say, a struggle for power, then these guys in the Caucasus will be left to fend for themselves, as was the case in the early 90s, when "ensigns" sold weapons from warehouses to local residents, and with the proceeds families with all their belongings were taken to their homeland, where no one expected them or their families, and the country did not show much joy in their return.

The other day I was listening to a Moldovan political scientist (poor fellow, absolutely unclaimed character, who is remembered for a week once every couple of years). And he said that with the beginning of the presidency of Maya Sandu, "Russian-Moldovan relations will cool down."
At this point, I already started to giggle. But then the journalist who interviewed this political scientist asked “What can she do?”, Which brought the Moldovan political scientist into a final stupor. When the politician has nothing to answer, he thanks him for the good question. They are taught this to take time to think about the answer and at the same time use the pause to try to translate the topic. Well, what can cool the President of Moldova (I'm already silent about the fact that this is a parliamentary republic, where the president has almost no powers)? In one Far Eastern region of Russia, there are almost three Moldavia in terms of population and thirty Moldavia in terms of area.
The whale-sprat relationship can chill! Sprat may be offended! Are you completely inadequate there? It is high time for Tajikistan to become a part of the Federation and not to mock its citizens, who en masse go to Russia to work and are forced to suffer with all kinds of registrations and patents. All of them are not capable of either conducting an independent foreign policy or building a self-sufficient economy, nor to provide its citizens with a decent standard of living without other people's loans (which they are not able to give). Remember, in one of the episodes of "Tom and Jerry" the mouse got drunk on dope and rocked the right half of the episode? And then the doping was over. And everything returned to the natural state of things.

It is high time for Tajikistan to become a part of the Federation and not to scoff at its citizens, who massively travel to Russia to earn money and are forced to suffer with all kinds of registrations and patents. All of them are unable to conduct an independent foreign policy, or build a self-sufficient economy, or provide their citizens with a decent standard of living without other people's loans (which they are unable to repay).

And, of course, I cannot ignore our "bakhatovektarnago". He had hardly survived the attempt of the Maidan by the EU and Poland, supported by Ukraine and the Baltic states, as he sang songs about his "pro-Ukrainian" and "multi-vector" nature. And that he can become one-vector if he is offered a lot. He is fundamentally unteachable on a campaign.
Almost instantly, he received an answer from the EU: new sanctions are being introduced against Belarus. Where are you going to direct your vectors, sick? Nobody but Russia recognizes you! In the EU, you are only needed as FOOD. On a large platter, with apples in the mouth and in the tail. And the standard of living in a large part of the world will drop significantly. Therefore, attempts to continue to play in "independence" on the part of the ruling regimes in the limitrophes will only further lead to impoverishment and the extinction of the local population.

The world is changing again (it has such a property), and this time it is changing in favor of Russia. And whoever is not with Russia is spiteful to himself. ..... Alexander Rogers.

This is very easy to explain. Using MMA as an example.
Fighter Kharitonov went to the world with fighter Yandiev, who kicked him in the butt. Literally.
And the deputy-fighter Lebedev said that Kharitonov had no choice, because some people asked him.
To put it simply, Kharitonov got cold feet.
After the war in the Caucasus, Russia realized that things were not so simple. Her C300 and C400 scare only the faint of heart. She has no friends left in the world, she found new enemies because of her aggression against previously friendly peoples, her own Slavs. The era of a new "Iron Curtain" is coming. And if under Gorbachev the world allowed us to lift this curtain, then under Putin and his successors this may not happen. And then the people will take up the pitchfork. Import substitution will no longer work in a country with an almost ruined economy, with agriculture crammed into a far corner, and small business completely killed.
You won't scare anyone with nuclear toys. And this suddenly appeared coalition of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, it turns out, also has nuclear weapons. The creation of this coalition was not done well.
You can, of course, bang your fist loudly on the table. But then the wave of this blow will blow away the Russian children-soldiers, and the next persecution of Russians from their native habitats will begin. Cargoes of 200 will go along the same road back to their homeland. Because we have never won any war, where we were the attacker, the aggressor.
Russia is a state whose history is an almost endless series of numerous wars, armed conflicts, violent confrontations and special operations.

Only a very naive person, looking at the map of the world and finding Russia on it, might think that all these vast territories were annexed to our country peacefully ...
... Official propaganda asserts that the neighboring states were not captured, but voluntarily joined, amicably rejoicing at the liberation from the tyranny of some other aggressors and thanks to the Russian troops. Believe it or not - each person decides for himself. But as historians have calculated, from the middle of the 75th century to the present day, Russia has participated in more than 1547 wars and armed conflicts. As a result, the Moscow kingdom, average by European standards, turned into the largest empire in the world, spreading its influence from the Baltic to the Pacific Ocean. If in 3 the total area of ​​our country was 1914 million km21,8, then in 1913 it reached XNUMX million kmXNUMX. Residents of Russia remembered XNUMX because it was peaceful. For almost the rest of the time, the country fought without ceasing, sometimes leading several campaigns at once in different parts of the world. The seizure of the Kazan and Astrakhan khanates, the annexation of lands occupied by representatives of the Finno-Ugric peoples of the Volga region, expansion beyond the Urals, the conquest of Siberia, the Far East, Kamchatka, Central Asia ... One might think, believing in official propaganda, that all these lands were inhabited by small groups of kind aborigines who did not know statehood. Supposedly they were all happy to start paying taxes to the Russian crown. Meanwhile, even the peoples of the Arctic tried to defend their independence, although few people know about the Russian-Chukchi wars of the XNUMXth - XNUMXth centuries. Of course, someone can say that it was the Chukchi who attacked the Russians who came to settle peacefully near the Anadyr River ...
... Our country began:
1. Livonian War (1558-1583);
2. Russian-Swedish war (1590-1595);
3. Persian campaign (1722-1723);
4. Caucasian War (1817-1884);
5. Khiva campaign (1839-1840);
6. Crimean War (1853-1856);
7. Russian-Turkish war (1877-1878);
8. Turkestan campaigns (1853-1881);
9. Soviet-Finnish war (1939-1940) According to the most disloyal expert estimates for our country, Russia unleashed 53 armed conflicts. And for the most loyal - only 9. These can be added to the war in Afghanistan (1979-1989), but for the intervention of our troops in this Asian state there was a formal reason - an invitation to the legitimate government with a request to help restore the constitutional order.

By the way, those whom we have defeated now live better than us.

This German lives with today's news. Speaking about the experience of Georgia, Syria, he point-blank does not see that Russia's international policy has remained unchanged for the second decade: do not do what the "partners" are pushing us to, and if we make a move, then it does not leave room for maneuver for the enemy. Ossetia, Crimea, now Karabakh - as a result, the West has only to bark and impose sanctions (which also hammer their economies).
