Commander of the German Navy: Crimea will never be Ukrainian

99

Crimea will never be Ukrainian again. Its status as a Russian region is already an indisputable fact.

This opinion was expressed by the Commander of the German Navy, Vice Admiral Kay-Achim Schönbach, during a conference of the Defense Research Institute M. Parrikar in India, discussing the situation around Ukraine.



During the discussion of the candidacies of states wishing to join the North Atlantic Alliance, a high-ranking German military officer said that Georgia meets all the parameters, but it would be unwise to accept it into NATO.

The vice admiral also noted that New Delhi and Berlin should work more closely with Moscow, which could become a strong ally in the confrontation with China. The German military believes that bilateral agreements between states are ineffective, so countries should unite in closer associations.

Schönbach suggested that there would be a large continental armed conflict. True, in his opinion, in the coming years it can not be expected. Most likely, it will happen in ten or even twenty years. By that time, according to the German Vice Admiral, a critical mass of unresolved conflicts will have accumulated in the world, both in Europe and in Asia. And these conflicts can turn out to be interdependent both in the military-political and economic terms.

A referendum on joining the Russian Federation was held in Crimea in March 2014. More than 96 percent of the citizens of the peninsula and more than 95 percent of the inhabitants of Sevastopol voted for this decision.

Many German journalists criticized the commander of the country's navy, stating that Russia "may perceive his words as legitimizing the actions committed in 2014 by the leading EU countries."

              Why not. Our Germans once brought two policemen from Osnabrück "on vacation to Russia" (are you already scared?). Here they were sharpening an enameled bowl of dumplings and 1,5 vodka for two at a time. And then in the Park of Culture they tried to stop the equestrian outfit in order to tryndet for the hard lot of law enforcement officers. I'll tell you, even the horses had in their eyes ...

        "From Lisbon to Vladivostok" was such one of the projects, implying the political and economic mutual integration of Russia and the EU, but this is no longer relevant. For Russia, the plans include the development of the CSTO, the CU, the SG, etc. Those. their own projects. With the EU, it is desirable to build good-neighborly but politically completely independent relations.

        The EU is not entirely capable, subjective, adequate. There can be no talk of mutually integrating political processes.

        As obvious as it is, the EU imposes sanctions on Russia for all sorts of LGBT reasons, bulk sanctions, a third energy package, green energy, etc.
        There are no prospects that there is something in their heads that will improve.

        There is no need to integrate with the madhouse, you need to distance yourself, leave purely economic ties. We supply gas to you, supply electricity to your madhouse, you pay for it, we buy what is produced in your madhouse, and that's it.

    A new level of presentation of information stew at VO.
    It’s not just that they don’t give a full translation of the source, they don’t even translate direct quotations and don’t give them at all.
    All in your own words. And the guys are happy with such a meal. Caps began to fly even higher. laughing

    The vice admiral also noted that New Delhi and Berlin should work more closely with Moscow, which could become a strong ally in the confrontation with China. The German military believes that bilateral agreements between states are ineffective, so countries should unite in closer associations.

    Meanwhile, they themselves do not know how to revive trade and economic ties with China.
    Everything is done like a slutty owner.

    The persistence with which the Ukrainians are trying to return Crimea is similar to the desire of two gay men to conceive a child. The more they try, the more the dupa hurts.

    They say that covid has such consequences
    - while maintaining speech and memory,
    an infected individual "sculpts" a nonsense.
    Don't take this bla-bla-bla seriously.

        I don't fall for anyone
        neither accountable nor subordinate to anyone,
        if you are interested. Since 2006,
        to myself. Prior to that hunchbacked on the "uncle".

    Here is what "die Welt" writes:
    "He felt that there was no one around who could watch him, he was far from home - and he said what he really thought. The commander of the German naval forces, Vice Admiral Kai-Achim Schönbach, one of the most important officers The Bundeswehr, said at a think tank event in Delhi, India, that Russia's plans to occupy part of Ukraine are "absurd" What Russian President Putin really wants is "respect at a decent level." The officer was filmed during his lecture. Whether it was legal or not is not clear. In any case, this is a surreal spectacle with a dangerous look at the Ukrainian crisis and Putin. It contradicts the official position of the federal government on almost every point."
    So, in Germany, it is IMPOSSIBLE to say what you think if it goes against the official, even if unrealistic course of politicians!

    He's already been bullied and he's already resigned. Ukrainians called the German ambassador to the carpet and raised a screech. Still did everything right.

    The German Chancellor (1933-1945) A. Hitler never loved and did not trust the military. For which, in the end, he paid the price.
    No, after all, the Germans did not understand anything and did not learn anything. And as soon as some of them have flashes of consciousness, they are immediately extinguished by the paranoid ideas of their "leaders".
