Bulgarian press: Ukraine and the USA fell into a "strategic trap"

In 2022, Ukraine may face hard times, and this will be connected with a possible change in US policy in Eastern Europe. The author of the Bulgarian edition of Duma, Lychezar Radev, draws parallels with the situation during the Cold War. Then, to contain the Soviet Union, the United States needed to normalize relations with Maoist China. Washington had to close its eyes to the peculiarities of Chinese ideology and politics, to the activities of the PRC in the countries of South and Southeast Asia, if only China provided some support to the United States in the military-political confrontation with the USSR.

At present, Radev believes, we see the opposite situation: China has grown to the impossible, and the United States has practically no room for maneuver. So, not only has China grown significantly, but a new actor in global politics is also emerging - India, which also has strong ties with Russia and is unlikely to support Washington's anti-Russian policy. Russia also has good relations with other Asian states - for example, with Vietnam. There are also no openly anti-Russian states in the Middle East, even the UAE and Saudi Arabia are increasingly cooperating with Moscow, not to mention Egypt or Syria.

The current situation forces Washington to take a different approach to the issue of further building relations with Russia. Moreover, there is no one to rely on in the fight against Russia and China: Europe is rapidly weakening, completely dependent on Russian gas, and the United States simply has no other allies.

Now one of the main stumbling blocks between the United States and Russia is the situation with Ukraine. This is one of the main problem areas of the modern world. But if the United States does not want to confront both Russia and China at the same time, it will have to slightly change its policy on Ukraine. If we talk about the economic component that always stands behind politics, then China is more dangerous than Russia in this regard. Therefore, the United States may well agree to weaken support for Ukraine.

The United States and Ukraine have found themselves in a "strategic trap", writes the author of the Bulgarian press, and here's why. First, Ukraine will not be able to resist Russia with the forces and means at its disposal today. Second, if the United States weakened its military assistance to Ukraine or abandoned its military presence in Ukraine, it would be a very serious blow to its positions in Eastern Europe. Without American infusions, Ukraine will not only be unable to resist Russia, its very existence in its current form will be in question.

It is possible that if Ukraine continues to follow the given course, it will be doomed to disintegration. Radev writes that Russia may well form a zone of strategic stability from the regions of the south and east of Ukraine - Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhye, Kherson. Perhaps, writes the Bulgarian observer, today such a project seems fantastic, but in the longer term it is quite real.

Wait and see. What a trap and to whom. China is primarily based on pragmatism. First of all for yourself. And everyone else ... Europe does what Washington says. In January, negotiations were announced on the issue of security and our proposals. Let's wait for them (although they will be closed and what is there and how incomprehensible)

Is there an independent press in dependent Bulgaria ?? But!

[pytar]

Is there an independent press in dependent Bulgaria ?? But!

Zyablitsev in his role! Well, if we look at the facts, there is an independent press! There are all sorts of opinions in the Bulgarian media! Competition in ideas is fierce! State media only BNT / Bulgarian National Television / and BNR / Bulgarian National Radio /. They are governed by a governing council appointed by the Parliament. And there is always a powerful opposition to parliament. No one can crush all power under him, no one can dictate what the media will write. The reader, the viewer, the listener decides! Russian media are also present, and no one calls them "foreign agents"! Nobody is persecuted for posts or reposts on the networks! This is impossible to imagine with us!

[Finches]

Today I will not troll the Bulgarians, thanks to your Minister of Defense, who wrote on his Facebook account that there is no need to deploy additional troops on Bulgarian territory yet. They say that the existing 5 American GIs are enough and there is no need to increase them by another 000! But, most likely, Niger and Latinos, the main ethnic groups of American troops abroad, fucked all "eggs, chickens, malko" in the district and the local population living around the bases "Novo Selo" and "immensant", will not make it possible to increase the increase in American "brother"

It's hard to believe! Zyablitsev, think about it ... How strange it will look ...

[Finches]

Why? When at least someone in Bulgaria shows himself to be a normal man, then the attitude is normal! Or like this:
"Not far from the famous Shipka monument (Bulgarians call it the Monument of Freedom) there is the Church of the Nativity of Christ, a Bulgarian Orthodox church built in memory of the soldiers who died for the liberation of Bulgaria in the Russian-Turkish war. All the bells of this church (the largest - 12 tons) are cast from cartridges from cartridges and shells collected at the pass. We entered this temple ...
It was a weekday, there was no service at that moment, the church was empty. Hearing our speech, a Bulgarian monk came up to us and asked: “Are you Russians?” We confirmed. “Do you have some time?” Asked the monk. “Yes,” we replied. The monk left somewhere, and a couple of minutes later he went out with seven other bearded, dressed in black "colleagues." The monks lined up and sang ...

Eight harsh male voices played Gregorian chants, stunning beauty and power under the arches of the Temple. What were they singing about? Besides Russian, I know Ukrainian, so I understand the Bulgarian "version" of the Slavic speech quite well. So, the monks sang psalms written in memory of the Russian soldiers who died for the freedom of Bulgaria. They sang to us for almost an hour. Then the monks bowed and one of them quietly said: "Forgive us, brothers" ... "

And you here are smearing some snot about our Russian realities - business, there is the most important fact! That's how your monks are!

[expert]

Strongly! This is hundreds, thousands of times more powerful than all kinds of articles by "independent publishing houses" and custom polls.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

Great about the monks!
And about the "trap" ... What a "strategic trap" there! Some on the eve of the collapse, while others - large loss and shameful retreat!

[pytar]

Why? When at least someone in Bulgaria shows himself to be a normal man, then the attitude is normal!

In Bulgaria, normal men are in no lesser degree than in Russia. I know very well both countries and the people living in them. But as you read your media and forums ... I do not want to comment.

"Not far from the famous Shipka monument (Bulgarians call it the Monument of Freedom) is the Church of the Nativity of Christ ... Having heard our speech, a Bulgarian monk approached us and asked:" Are you Russians? " ... A couple of minutes later the monk came out together with seven more similarly bearded, black-clad “colleagues.” The monks lined up in a row and began to sing ...
Eight harsh male voices brought out Gregorian chants, stunning beauty and power under the arches of the Temple ... "

This story is popular in Bulgaria as well, I have known it for at least 10 years. We consider Russians to be their own. I will tell you a case that I witnessed. With his wife / she is Russian / we traveled around the country. We settled down for the night in a private house in the small town of Belogradchik. Housewives, a middle-aged woman and her elderly mother. When they found out that my wife was Russian, they made a very pleasant surprise for her in the morning! They brought coffee with breakfast, and then sang a few Russian songs in quite good Russian! They also presented a book about the history of this region, which they themselves wrote! My wife was shocked, the first from the incredibly beautiful area of ​​Belodgradchik, the second from the respect that two ordinary women witnessed to her. My wife said that Bulgarians treat Russians better than Russians themselves do one another! I will add - we treat Russians better than we treat each other! Such cases happened to us more than once wherever in Bulgaria we were! I even began to go through different instances easier, being there with my wife!

What were they singing about? Besides Russian, I know Ukrainian, so I understand the Bulgarian "version" of the Slavic speech quite well. So, the monks sang psalms written in memory of the Russian soldiers who died for the freedom of Bulgaria. They sang to us for almost an hour.

Orthodox chants, psalms are conducted in the Old Bulgarian language, you call it Church Slavonic. It sounds in your and Ukrainian churches. And it sounds really amazing, this is the language of my great-grandfathers that has been preserved thanks to the Orthodox Faith to this day!

Then the monks bowed and one of them quietly said: "Forgive us, brothers" ... "

In ru-forums and websites I read how this priesthood is interpreted! Like "Bulgarians apologize to Russians because ..." and then the mantras of Ross follow. propaganda! No guys! This is our Orthodox custom, one asks for forgiveness from another! Bow down, no matter who is in front of you, ordinary people or the Tsar! And whoever he is, will bow before the monks in return, ask for forgiveness!

Dear, it is! We have Russophilia at the genetic level, even those who criticize Russia do not hate it.
And about our people who graduated from universities in the West, I have a different opinion. A Bulgarian, wherever he studies, remains a Bulgarian! Having returned to the country, he will use his knowledge and skills on his crawl to the Motherland! And we have a lot to learn from developed countries, not everything there is as bad as propaganda squeals! In all times of crisis, educated, knowledgeable, and able Bulgarians have played a big role in overcoming problems. Yes, and Russian history abounds with such examples, since the time of Peter I.

If your MO is consistent in its actions and pushes the Yankees out of the country, then you can be respected again ...

I always try to 1. be as casual as possible, 2. always speak on my own behalf, at least 3. I can generalize some things, in view of a fairly wide circle of my acquaintances. Therefore, I will give the following explanations:
1. MO does not work by itself. It works in unison with the policies of the government and Parliament. Sometimes one or the other responsible person makes statements so that the government can study the reactions of those concerned.
2.Although people we are very similar to you, over and over again I state that we see a lot in completely different ways! Everything that happened to you from the West looks like "us and them".
3. Bulgarian foreign policy has different goals, different tasks, since we have our own national interests! There is no goal to "squeeze the Yankees out of the country"! We look at the presence of NATO as a factor of stability in the Balkans! And we need stability in order to continue developing the country, the economy, and the standard of living! On the other hand, it is not in our interests to further strengthen the presence of NATO! This will exacerbate confrontation with Russia and reduce the level of stability!
I am not going to comment on the GDP policy in the Balkans, I think it is extremely dangerous for my country. And all this propaganda against the Bulgarians as a people in the service of the same policy. But we make a difference between the Russian government and the Russian people! These are two completely different concepts!

[Yulian]

"I will not begin to comment on the GDP policy in the Balkans, I think it is extremely dangerous for my country. And all this propaganda against the Bulgarians as a people in the services of the same policy. But we make a difference between the Russian government and the Russian People! These are two completely different concepts!"

There is no GDP policy in the Balkans, but the US policy is extremely clear - all Balkan countries should be enemies of Russia. Therefore, they will impose their uninvited help as if Russia is a threat to Bulgaria. This is very dangerous for us because the NATO troops can be Turkish and this will be our end. They have such a habit of entering but never voluntarily leaving, and this is what we see in Cyprus, Syria and everywhere!

[pytar]

Emotions, addictions do not play politics. Only interests are in charge there! Erdogan and VVP want to knock the West out of the Balkans. This is in their common interest. Knock out the West, divide the Balkans into Russian and Turkish spheres of influence. Guess which country the dividing line will pass through?
Russia does little, it has a policy to wait until "ripe apples fall into their hands by themselves." And the role of the "pounding tree" is given to Erdogan. That is a threat, a real one, while VVP is like a "rescuer" whom the Balkans frightened by Erdogan invite to help! Russia, doing nothing, will get more than half of the Balkans! That's the whole situation!

but on the other hand, the US policy is extremely clear - all the Balkan countries should be enemies of Russia. Therefore, they will impose their uninvited help as if Russia is a threat to Bulgaria.

Russia cannot compete with the West in the field of economy and social order. Russian energy projects are not comparable in importance to the complex benefits of EU membership. But Russia is competitive in the field of defense, armaments, power structures. In order for these advantages to come into play, there must be confrontation, separation of "ours and foes", in the case of the Balkans. Here the presence of the West brings stability, the EU demonstrates a working model for solving interethnic problems. The countries that fought among themselves for centuries, arranged the largest bloodshed in history, now live peacefully and there are no borders between them! In such a situation, Russia has no chance, therefore, in the interests of escalating conflicts, polarization is "ours and yours", which opens the door for it in the Balkans!
And what is in our interests? I think it is in our best interest to gather the Balkans for a chair and figure it out - do we want to be a "powder magazine" again and again, or can we agree together and cool all these imperials like Erdogan and VVP. Our salvation lies in the creation of the Balkan Union as part of the EU.

[Yulian]

"Erdogan and VVP want to knock the West out of the Balkans. This is in their common interest. Knock out the West, divide the Balkans into Russian and Turkish spheres of influence. Guess which country will the dividing line pass through?"

The fact that WFP and Erdogan have some common interests is absurd. Turkey's goal is invariable - revenge for the defeat of the Ottoman Empire and the humiliation of Russia through its dismemberment. Only a person devoid of reason can believe in Erdogan's good intentions towards Russia, Bulgaria or some other Christian state! And for SASCH it is all the same whether Bulgaria will exist as an independent state or as a Turkish vilayet!

[pytar]

The fact that WFP and Erdogan have some common interests is absurd. Turkey's goal is invariable - revenge for the defeat of the Ottoman Empire and the humiliation of Russia through its dismemberment.

Local interests sometimes converge, there is nothing absurd in this. From 1938 to 1941, the USSR and Germany also had this, then the USSR from the West, until 1945. But the global ones contradict, this is also a fact.

Only a person devoid of reason can believe in Erdogan's good intentions towards Russia, Bulgaria or some other Christian state!

Hardly anyone can argue with this. Syria is an example of this. And there is. So what? How do the global contradictions between these large countries prevent them from getting along where their interests converge for a moment?

And for SASCH it is all the same whether Bulgaria will exist as an independent state or as a Turkish vilayet!

This is also true! No one should be under the illusion that the US will defend Bulgaria from Turkey. This is the cardinal dilemma for Bulgaria! As President Radev states: "Russia cannot be an example of a social model for us, but we must cooperate with it, it is in our interests!" The problem is that for Russia, in view of its authoritarianism and backwardness in the social structure, such cooperation is not particularly interesting. She needs to set foot in the Balkans, restore her presence here, and this is possible only if Bulgaria accepts some of the "values" that hold modern Russian society. It is not for nothing that Russian politicians support certain oligarchic structures in Bulgaria and in the EU in general. Similar collaborate with similar ones. This similarity (to live according to concepts, not according to the law), something from which we have been trying to get away for 20 years!

Only before that they remembered Brezhnev and his policy, do everything that would be good. The party will not interfere with the people; the people will not interfere with the party. The trouble is that Russia now has neither friends nor allies, but dreams that they are. China has allies in its region who will help it. North Korea. Vietnam will never forget what happened to America. America has allies, but paid ones. They won't last long. America can easily incite Ukraine on an adventure and say - is there paper? No paper.

In a country with authoritarian control, where the authorities control a lot of things in the personal lives of citizens, it is difficult to calculate the real audience. With all that, they look and that's a lot! Many people do not bother to search, check information from alternative sources. Everyone accepts without criticism, as the pure truth. And then there is such a paradoxical phenomenon - the oversaturation of the Internet with fake, distorted information. Most of it is generated by the same pro-government propaganda institutions.

EVERYWHERE EVERYTHING IS THE SAME! more-less.

Since the steps can be very different, it turns out that not all are the same!

We have a world wide web EVERYWHERE where there is some kind of connection!
Those. choice of information for every taste ... And since control over the information space is in the hands of NOT OUR AUTHORITIES ...

The authorities are working hard to plug this gap! Know about projects to create a control firewall. You also have a lot of facts when the authorities persecute people for expressing a different opinion on social networks and in public.

But this, if you have it, is different from what the central mass media broadcast in our country.

That's the difference! 1. We do not have "media centers" except for BNT and BNR. 2. The media serves the information that is interesting to people. It is clear that society is more interested in domestic politics, the state of the country, economy, etc. And they are all very critical of the authorities, the authorities themselves think, because the opposition is always strong, no matter who is ruling there. If the media don't meet the requirements, they lose viewers and go bankrupt. Competition does not forgive, it leads everyone to adequate!

By the way, such a question ... and where is everything good and blissful now ??? no matter how much I asked this simple and specific question, no one has ever been able to answer or even began to poke around, it's useless.

Actually the question is strange! Nowhere, can never be "everything is good and blissful"! The whole difference is in the steps, they are in different countries and even in different regions of the same country, they are different!

In general, the policy of the Russian Federation over the past 30 years has led to a sad result - we actually have nothing to bargain with, we have already given everything. And now - we have come to a critical situation, when either the last crumbs will be taken from us and the Russian Federation will be forced to capitulate to the West, or a war. It was before the USSR could have forced to compromise, like you don't climb here, but we are here. We are removing missiles from Cuba - and you are from Turkey. And so on .. Now - there is nothing to bargain with, that's it, alles. That is why the native guarantor was so frightened at the extreme conference - such as the last red lines, no more concessions .. Of course, no - there is nothing to give up already .. Got bad, vigorous, dear partners .. I just think - the Westerners put the device on all these lines ..

And it is worth depriving this project of global coverage, as it becomes a dummy.
---
We can send this project to hell.
And it will crumble. Because for it, once again, global coverage is needed.

We will be followed by China and India, and there and other countries (since no one wants to ruin their economy).
And Europe, if anything, even if it follows the lead of the United States and ruins its economy, will depend even more on China, by the way, too, on us, and on India.

The photo is funny. At first it seemed to me blindly that his fly was unbuttoned, and his shirt was sticking out of it.
Immediately the situation presented itself: a very drunk man was so upset while he was coping with a small need that he forgot to cover himself. Life!

Ukraine and the United States fell into a "strategic trap"

The author is well versed in the international situation, outlined the real situation, and does not blindly follow the Russophobic hysteria that is fashionable in the West today.

The United States and Ukraine are in a "strategic trap"

Let's hope that this is indeed the case. At least one can agree on Russia's relations with China, India and other countries listed by the author. But the assumption that the United States will abandon Ukraine raises great doubts, although it has more than once observed how the Americans for the sake of their interests abandoned and substituted their "allies". The principle is that we are responsible for those who are not working for the Americans.

It's true. Moreover, they will be the first to point the finger at Ukraine, they say, it was she herself who learned the war with Russia from her and the demand.

Only we can pick up this American message and add that this Ukraine with a hangover sent from somewhere near the Dnieper "Ukrainian" Iskanders and Calibers ("taken away" from the Russian invaders) straight to the Pindos bases in Romania. Poland, etc.
What to take from them? One word, drunk

[Mikhail3]

At the moment, the biggest risk for Russia in the whole brewed mess is a successful attempt on GDP. It all depends on whether he correctly evaluates the traitors around him, and whether there are enough faithful people. He always controls the international situation itself, he has never broken off on a large scale yet. And here the stakes are nowhere larger, everything must be clearly prepared, so that the only weak link is himself.

Traps and traps, plus crossbows at every turn. Every world leader (in the sense of a country) has his own problems. In China, this is Taiwan, in America, it is world hegemony and the death of the white population under the pressure of the black, in Russia, the collection of Russian lands and their protection.
Ukraine faces a choice - either the disintegration of Czechoslovakia is peaceful, or the Ukrainians will have to emigrate to Poland or Canada.
What will be the trigger for the Great Redistribution? One of the utopian options is Israel's attack on Iran. Almost immediately, the movement of Russian troops to Ukraine, then the elimination of the blockade of the Kaliningrad region by Lithuania and NATO, China restores sovereignty over Taiwan, Azerbaijan unites with Turkey at the expense of Armenia, the Taliban captures Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.
You can also add Scotland declares independence. This is what my fevered brain has come up with so far. You have to understand the more incredible the forecast, the faster it comes true. Merry Christmas, Catholic!

Serbia conquers Kosovo, Argentina Falklands, Japan Kuriles, Spain Gibraltar, Catalonia declares independence. There is plenty of bad energy in the world.

The Americans made a mistake 30 years ago, when, on the advice of the Polish freak Bzhe, they decided that seizing Ukraine is happiness, "Heartland", like, without which there is nowhere, the country is "the key to everything."
Got it. And here it is - happiness.
Ukraine is one of the main destroyers of the USSR, but you will ruin the United States too, thanks to Nuland and her husband Kogan.
And everyone will feel better.
