What can a cornered bear do?

Almost throughout the world stories Western countries tried to denigrate Russia/USSR and isolate our country from the rest of the world.

As soon as they didn’t call us: “a thundercloud hanging over Europe”, “gendarme of Europe”, “Mongol-Slavic hordes”, “communist threat” - these are just a small part of the labels that were hung on Russia and the USSR in different historical periods.



Now we are witnessing another attempt to send Russia to the dustbin of history: the United States has launched a frantic activity, trying with all its might to provoke a conflict between a previously united people, artificially divided by deceit and betrayal - between Russia and Ukraine. For this: American and European politicians throw tantrums in the media, America and some European countries pump up Ukraine weapons, States are planning to deploy their troops in Eastern Europe.

The ultimate goal of all this is to force Russia to use armed forces, for example, to protect the inhabitants of the DPR and LPR in response to the provocations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. And for its part, for this, the United States promises to impose "unprecedented sanctions" on Russia, hoping thereby to drive our economy into the "Stone Age".

This threat is real and quite serious.

In the case of a really wide application of sanctions - disconnection from international banking services, restrictions on the supply of industrial and household goods, as well as access to the Internet, the life of the population in the country may deteriorate by several orders of magnitude.

In fact, if this is not a declaration of war, then the last step before it.

Russia will have to somehow react to these sanctions, and respond harshly enough so that the enemy's population will feel the result in "their own skin". We have no direct options for responding to sanctions, and it is also not very acceptable to unleash a war because of them.

The answer may lie in asymmetric measures, and we will consider some of the potential ones in this article.

Let's divide all the proposed counter-sanction measures according to the degree of their "rigidity" into three levels, respectively, green (relatively mild measures), yellow and red (the most extreme measures).

Some measures may seem “too much” to someone, but after all "à la guerre comme à la guerre", is not it?

Green level


stock storm


One of the most important financial instruments of Western countries are stock exchanges, where securities are traded: shares, bonds and other financial instruments.

As in any market, there is a wide layer of speculators on stock exchanges - companies that, without producing real goods and services, earn on changes in the value of financial instruments. Often their actions cause significant damage to both individual companies and entire market segments (and their country as a whole, including).

Exchange mechanisms can be used to cause significant damage to the enemy's economy. The effectiveness of exchange speculation as a response to sanctions can be increased due to the fact that the goal is not to extract financial profit, but to cause damage - to break not to build.

Another factor contributing to the effective creation of a “stock storm” is that the position of many companies and market segments can be naturally unstable, and it remains only a little pressure on them at the right time, in the right place - "falling push".

Attacks on the stock markets can be carried out by properly programmed stock exchanges. Robots, capable of carrying out trading operations at a speed inaccessible to a person, registered to nominees and companies.

It is worth noting that financial markets are often prone to excessive influence even by third-party factors, for example, publications in the media or rumors spreading on the Internet.

For example, there was negative information about the owner of a certain company, and its shares immediately fall.

Cheated on his wife?

Called black black?

Got drunk in a bar 30 years ago?

The next day, the capitalization of the company falls by 20% (conditionally).

This tool can and should be used effectively as well.

Cyber ​​attacks


What Russia is constantly accused of is “terrible Russian hackers”. Cyber ​​espionage, influence on the US presidential election and much more.

Well, you have to comply, otherwise it’s even a shame to be uninvolved with such and such an advertisement.

For example, the same trading exchanges can be subjected to virus attacks, which can be very effective in combination with a “stock storm”. First, the shares of the largest companies fell, and then it (the stock exchange) “cut out” altogether.

Why not a scenario for a full-fledged panic?

In general, war on the information battlefield is a multifaceted thing, we considered this issue in more detail in the article Cyber ​​weapons of mass destruction.

Violations of the work of retail chains, infrastructure facilities, commercial enterprises. What can I say - the thoughtless digitization of everything and everything leads to the fact that things no longer belong to the people who own them.

The manufacturer, at its discretion, can disable some of the functions or make them paid - in a car, TV, washing machine or iron.

It is irrational not to use such opportunities in the sanctions confrontation.

Particularly effective may not be a complete disruption of the performance of any equipment, technique or service, but a deterioration in the efficiency and quality of its work - it works a little slower, more errors, more energy consumption, increased load on mechanisms, and so on and so forth.

Such digital sabotage may not be immediately noticeable, but in the aggregate they can cause enormous damage to the enemy’s economy.

A variant of a kind of "Internet privateering" may be considered.

And what, we need to learn from the best - the leading European countries practiced this method of warfare at sea with might and main, why are we worse?

Within the framework of “Internet privateering”, hacker groups can receive information support and immunity on the territory of the Russian Federation, provided that their actions are not directed against Russian interests. And in the US, let them frolic as they want.

The advantage of the above methods is that they do not have to be voiced and acknowledged publicly, since the Internet is always a gray area.

asylum


We can provide political asylum to all those who oppose the authorities of countries that impose or support sanctions against the Russian Federation - various Edward Snowdens, Julian Assanges and others accused of divulging classified information, sympathizing with Russia or China, inadvertently offending ethnic or sexual minorities, opposing gender insanity.

People like them will be much more active if they know that they can always find protection and asylum in the Russian Federation.

Despite the "democratic" rhetoric, the United States is far from what can be considered a rule of law, it has a lot of its own secrets, the disclosure of which obviously will not positively affect the social and economic situation in the country.

This means that there will always be dissatisfied people who will work with Russia not for fear or money, but out of conviction.

Suspension of agreements


We are talking about various economic agreements, for example, Russia's accession to the WTO or the observance of copyright.

As the injured party, which has suffered unjustified economic damage for no reason and treacherously, we refuse to comply with those international agreements and rules that are not beneficial to us.

Suppose our opponents do not let up, and tighten the financial noose on the economy of our country more and more, and then we move to the yellow level.

yellow level


Information isolation


Internet cut off?

Well, Western countries will also have to get used to isolation, at least partial.

Underwater Internet cables can be chosen as a target.

Deep-sea submarines in combination with autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicles (AUVs) can ensure the physical destruction of submarine cables linking the continents.

Submarine cables, damaged by explosions at several dozen points each, will not be easy to restore.

In addition to submarine cables, it is possible to provide Internet communication between the continents using communication satellites.

Satellites in high orbits provide narrow data transmission channels with significant delay, and getting to these satellites is difficult, at least imperceptibly.

At the same time, low-orbit global networks of Internet communication satellites, such as Starlink, are being actively developed, and now they may well replace submarine cables.

However, their location in low orbit makes them vulnerable not only to anti-missiles, but also to laser weapons.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have a combat laser complex (BLK) "Peresvet". The exact characteristics, as well as the capabilities of the Peresvet BLK, are classified, and they can only be assumed.

If the Peresvet BLK is only able to temporarily blind the optics of reconnaissance satellites, then the issue is temporarily removed from the agenda.

However, if its capabilities make it possible to inflict more significant damage on low-orbit satellites, then the Peresvet BLK or weapons based on it can be used to disable enemy low-orbit satellites.


There is a possibility that the Russian BLK "Peresvet" is capable of damaging satellites in low orbits. Image by wikipedia.org

To destroy satellites whose orbits do not pass over the territory of the Russian Federation, the Peresvet BLK can be placed on aviation carriers, ships or even submarines.

Unlike kinetic methods of destruction, it is much more difficult to prove the impact on a satellite with a laser - how do we know why it broke?

We need to do it more reliably, everyone knows that Elon Musk uses commercial electronic components, and this is the result ...

Of course, it is possible to damage not only communication satellites, but also other civilian satellites - meteorological, agricultural and others, but definitely the civilian sector - our priority goal is to damage the enemy's economy, and not start a war.

Channels and straits


More recently, the world has witnessed how a small accident in the bottleneck of the Suez Canal caused significant damage to the global economy.

Now let's imagine that there are several such incidents, in different parts of the World Ocean, and these accidents are much more serious.


Some waterways can be blocked relatively easily, but restoring them can be an order of magnitude more difficult. Image by wikipedia.org

How can this be organised?

Thousands of ships pass through the canals and straits, which often change their owners and sail under God knows whose flags. Some of them may be acquired through shell companies, or specialists of a certain profile may be introduced into the crews of such ships, or, if such ships are modern and automated, then malicious code may be embedded in their software.

As a result, a ship capsized in a narrow channel or strait can paralyze traffic for months.

In an even worse scenario, it could be several ships loaded with concrete and collided with each other.

Waiver of sanctions


If tough sanctions are imposed on us, then we may well refuse to comply with sanctions against third countries.

For example, we can start supplying all types of weapons to Iran - long-range anti-aircraft missile systems (SAM), operational-tactical missile systems (OTRK), we can lease several nuclear submarines to them, as was done with India.

It is safe to say that some countries in the region will not be happy about this.

And, of course, you should not focus only on Iran - no restrictions on free trade.

Let's turn off the gas


The threat of cutting off gas supply by Russia has been repeatedly suggested by our Western partners, including as a reason to limit the alleged monopoly position of Gazprom.


And if they don’t take it, we’ll turn off the gas

In itself, such a decision is not the most profitable step for our country.

In addition to falling revenues, this is also undermining the reputation of our country as a reliable supplier. Therefore, this measure can be applied only knowing that the supplies will be blocked one way or another from the “other side”.

For example, if information is received through intelligence channels that from spring, when demand for energy resources will fall, and the United States will begin to gradually increase supplies of liquefied natural gas (LNG), hoping to completely push Russia out of European suppliers of blue fuel by winter, then you can make a leading move - turn off the gas in winter.

When European countries have to choose between a frozen population and industry, they will make an obvious and predictable choice, and the damage to European industry can be enormous - factories in Texas, shut down due to the harsh American winter of 2021, will not let you lie.

red level


The red level is already when there is no time for jokes at all, when the sanctions have reached such a level that there is almost nothing to lose, and the next step is only war.

Eligibility for immigration


Europe loves to settle refugees from all kinds of bantustans. It would be even more understandable if permission to enter was given only to women, children and the elderly, but no, young men of “military age” also “run” to European countries, who quickly get used to a new place and begin to establish their degenerative orders, trying to turn the country that sheltered them, in the same viper from which they fled.

Who are we to interfere with this bright European dream - to shelter all the disadvantaged?

How can it look like?

Two stages.

The first is recruiting teams that gather everyone in African countries (for example, and not only) to move to the European continent in organized groups (preference must be given to men of military age, and no children).

The second is specially purchased ships, the cheapest of what can be purchased, if only to sail from the point of loading to the point of unloading. And then - everyone, welcome on board, and go.

Let the fleets of the countries of Europe decide for themselves what to do - drown the uninvited guests, send them back, put them in camps, or do something else.

Perhaps, during this occupation, they will not have time to poke their nose into the Black Sea and talk about the belonging of the Crimea?

Both hired teams from third world countries and one of the “refugees” can steer the ship - a simple navigator with a laid course, instructions for managing the ship and mooring by running the ship aground off the coast of the selected country.

Also included is a camera with the ability to transfer photos and videos over the network, in which case to show how the evil European military drown the unfortunate refugees.

How will this affect the social and economic stability of the countries of Europe, as well as their unity, if, for example, about 1 new “settlers” are transported to Europe and the UK in a year?

noble privateers


Returning to the problem of privateering.

If before we talked about Internet privateering, now it's time to return to the origins - maritime piracy.

Already, filibusters of the XNUMXst century have provided an increase in the cost of shipping due to an increase in the length of routes (bypassing areas where pirate attacks are possible), as well as an increase in the cost of insurance premiums. And all this is only because of the poor people with RPGs.


Noble privateers of the XXI century. Image by wikipedia.org

And now imagine that someone trained pirates in different regions of the planet, equipped them with modern weapons, means of communication, high-speed motor boats, etc.

How effective will they be in this case?

How much will the risks and costs of maritime transport increase?

But what if someone will provide pirates with information about the routes of movement of ships based on data from space and undercover intelligence?


What if tomorrow the pirates look something like this? Image by wikipedia.org

Such "counter-sanctions" will provide the fleets of potential adversaries with employment for many years to come.

It may turn out that in order to solve the problem of piracy, they will even have to give up some of their humane principles, for example, as before, begin to “hang them on a yardarm”.

cocaine avalanche


The opinion is often expressed that the United States actively contributed to the fact that drugs got and get into the territory of the USSR / Russia.

But is it really?

It's hard to say - the probability of this is quite high, that they didn't interfere, that's for sure.

For the number of drug addicts that appeared after the collapse of the USSR, we should thank the United States in many ways, as the main "sponsor" of the collapse of the USSR.

But even in the United States itself there are many who want to experiment with consciousness. And the combination of a large sales market and a developed economy gives rise to many who want to master this market.

Fortunately, the United States has Latin America at hand, where people do not live so that they are very rich. And as soon as drugs are not brought to the United States - by couriers, planes, even makeshift submarines.

In Mexico, which shares a border with the United States, some drug cartels are often as powerful and influential as the government.

What will happen if they have modern weapons, really modern, including heavy ones?

Quiet small-sized submarines, originally designed to transport combat swimmers, but quite suitable for solving other specific tasks?


Today, drug couriers deliver goods in underwater coffins. Image by wikipedia.org


What will they do tomorrow? Image by wikipedia.org

The government in Mexico may well collapse, and the United States will receive a full-fledged war zone near its border.

The United States itself will be overwhelmed by a wave of drugs, which will lead to such riots that will surpass by an order of magnitude those that were staged by the demoniac BLM activists (an organization that has not yet been recognized as a terrorist organization on the territory of the Russian Federation).

Freedom fighters


During the Cold War, the US and the USSR actively supported "freedom fighters" around the world.

Accordingly, those whom we considered "freedom fighters" were considered terrorists by the United States, and vice versa.

If the support of various groups at that time was aimed at gaining a foothold in the region and expanding their influence, then as a counter-sanction measure it can be used simply to destabilize the situation in certain regions of the planet.

The same AFRICOM command will be knocked off its feet, trying to extinguish dozens of conflicts and coups across the continent.

Collapsed regimes, the rejection of agreements and the endless redistribution of property will make it much more difficult for the United States and its allies to develop the natural resources of developing countries.

In addition, the flow of refugees to European countries will increase, which is quite consistent with the previously announced “right to immigrate”.

Andrews


All the measures given in the article alone may not have a significant effect, but applied in combination, they will lead to a synergistic effect that will make the world shudder, and then those who started and supported all this sanctions mess against Russia will only have to say to themselves - What the hell are we getting into all this?

Are the measures proposed in this article good and humane?

No, they are tough, cruel, unpleasant, and some even disgusting.

But if the choice is between them and the fact that our children will eat grass and roots, as children in North Korea often do, then the choice is quite obvious.

These measures are only a consequence of the actions that can be taken against us, and they simply do not need to lead to this.

Still, no matter how anyone would like, but Russia is not North Korea, and no matter how weak it may be, its capabilities will always be several orders of magnitude higher than those of other victims of American aggression, and losses during any conflict with Russia, be it military or economic, can be unpredictable and unacceptable for all parties.

    ...if the choice is between them and having our children eat grass and roots, as children in North Korea often do, then the choice is quite clear.

    Comparison with the DPRK is epic ...
    Maybe it’s worth starting to invest again in domestic science and education (starting with raising the salaries of teachers, instead of digitalization programs), in the development of industry, petrochemistry, genetics and microbiology, then there will be no need to eat "grass and roots" ...

      But isn't North Korea an independent geopolitical player that refuses to dance to the tune of the United States, independently choosing its own path, an unbending nuclear-missile power, is that all? Why does a respected author scare him, and not South Korea, which is a mattress pad that sold its sovereignty for jeans, Coca-Cola and plastic surgery?

Therefore, I understand that all those knees that your state throws out, which YOU urge to defend by all means, will come out sideways to my Motherland and its people. Incompetence, corruption, disregard for the moral standards accepted in our country, corruption with the help of the media. All this is done in the interests and for the money of the above characters. Which undoubtedly are friends of the authorities, its support, which is confirmed by numerous state awards.

                  You know, I am ready to subscribe to every word of this paragraph, with the exception of the one I have highlighted. For me, the "state" and the Motherland are completely different concepts. But you did not clarify to me your logic, according to which you enlisted the state and the above-mentioned persons as apologists.

                  And here, let's take a closer look!
                  If I have to die a hero - well, this is how fate will turn out - then I will have to. Not for Rotenberg, not for Chubais, not even for the guarantor himself. And for the Motherland. For that quiet street in Kursk where I was born. Over the river where my father took me 7 decades ago to go fishing. For Pioneer Park, where I walked in my youth with girls. For their children and grandchildren. For that plant, finally, where people still work on the systems I developed. This is what I call my homeland. Officials, from the smallest to the guarantor, are not included in this concept. And for this Motherland I am ready to fight and die. Excuse the pathos.
                  But you have a different approach.
                  You can die as a hero with a cry - "For the Motherland! For Rotenberg!"
                  You will not go to die for Roteberg. And you won't go for Putin. And for the state in general, because it is unpleasant for you. I would not want, in which case, to be in the same trench!

          Well, actually, the "suggestions" of the author of the article, as well as some comments about "turn off the gas" and "we will not give titanium", actually characterize the cheer-quacks, show their mental level - to spoil, ruin, snobbishly turn up their noses from "having no English in the world and "we'll show them" - and nothing more. They don’t even think about anything, why, for them, the authorities will think right for them, or, they live by slogans and what Kisel-Solovey TV pours into their ears. No more. The author's proposals are exactly what they accuse Russia of in the West, what they blame her for. Does the author want to translate these accusations into practice? Prove that in the West, blaming Russia is not lying? And to think about the "asymmetric response", what already, no way? Brain missing? Think about what some people write here correctly "- an asymmetric answer is not what Western partners expect the effect of their sanctions to follow, but exactly the opposite actions - that is, focus on improving life in their country, and not spend money and forces in a deliberately hopeless butting with "Western partners". To begin with, try to get out of all the organizations imposed by the "partners" and cancel the rules imposed by them and start with the Constitution, the budget rule and the financial system, written under the dictation of the Americans, where there is an incomprehensible Central Bank and lots of commercial banks...

            The states are not at all happy to see the current Constitution of the Russian Federation.
            The budget rule allowed Russia to accumulate money both for
            rearmament, as well as confrontation with the insolent United States.
            In the 90s, I was lucky to communicate with V.V. Gerashchenko. I understand the Central Bank.
            Since then, mistakes have been made and certain conclusions too. hi

            Just do not forget that if such calls lead to real actions, then there is Article 205 in the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation on this score.
            Which provides for sickly terms in places not so remote.

                  Well, since you are already there and, moreover, from the age of majority, then let me be curious, do you also think that Russia is to blame for the energy crisis of 21-22? If I'm not abusing, a couple more questions: Do you agree that the Russian authorities hounded the Skripals and Navalny? And finally, you support the hysteria with the "inevitable" and "unambiguous" attack by Russia on Ukraine ... on the Baltic States ... On Poland ... further down the list.

                    No, I don't. But the precedent of unfolding a proxy-civil war somehow does not look pretty. Moreover, attempts to raise the internal rating on this.
                    with the fact that the Russian authorities hounded the Skripals and Navalny?
                    Most likely not, or the competence of the special services has been completely lost. An illegal immigrant from Albania will kill any Skripal for 20 thousand, and even do business with his trunk. But the story of the spirekeepers doesn't add up.
                    Is Russia to blame for the energy crisis of 21-22?
                    The banal greed of all parties to the contract is to blame here.
                    But spreading internal hysteria about the fact that we will freeze them all and then cover them with Poseidon and caliber and add khibiny is at least stupid. Because the probability of aggression (chito analytically) increases. And ultimatums are already on the verge of a foul. You have to hold on properly.

                        It was immediately clear to you that the ultimatum would not be accepted, BUT For some reason, you proved to me that Biden has problems there, problems here, Afghanistan here, hypersound there, the bet on globalism has greatly crippled the States, loss of control, OPEC + stand shoulder to shoulder, the need for a mediator in negotiations with China and Iran, three wars they will not pull, they have almost a "perfect storm", therefore, guarantees that NATO will not advance for the sake of all this is the least that they are ready to offer us.

                        Russia is not only Biden, no one in the States will survive.
                        And the question is why an ultimatum was delivered, and in such
                        form is the most interesting and correct question.

                        I repeat: the States are ready, but they cannot. Till.
                        The introduction of "crippling sanctions" against the Russian Federation

They couldn’t do it themselves, they prepared everything for you, you agreed - go and solve the problem ... but your islanders, without any problems and at least some screens, dragged 2000 rackets, sent instructors, brought the contingent, they are wailing about an imminent attack, sanctions have begun to compose and wave them .... but Russia is still to blame, is it strange ?!

          There is absolutely nothing unethical about the need for the survival of a country. This is war, and in war, white gloves are unacceptable when you fight with scum. In this war, all means are good when you fight for your survival. There are two options here - either the country died or the country survived. No others.

      For the US and NATO, "hellish sanctions" will mean a multiple reduction in their own security due to the need to target them with new nuclear deterrence forces in sufficient numbers. And the West, of course, understands this.
      For the EU, sanctions are an energy crisis, rising production costs and a drop in competitiveness.
      The rupture of relations between the Russian Federation and this is chaos in many areas of patent rights, the WTO, etc., beneficial to the West.
      And in a country that sells food for 30 billion, no one will starve, and no one will eat grass, and now consumer goods are produced, in general, not by the United States, but by China.

          In fact, if Russia begins to respond harshly, then everyone will have to tighten their belts .... many simply do not understand how Russia can respond and what strengths it has, so they think in stereotypes about a gas station and an economy torn to shreds.

          What is the main problem in the world right now? Besides Covid? This is inflation, the Fed and other center. banks have poured more than $12 trillion into the economy, and it goes without saying that the cost of goods and services has skyrocketed, and now we have to curb price growth by raising rates. What is remarkable about Russia in this picture? It is the largest supplier of energy resources in the world, and the volumes of energy resources that it supplies to Europe significantly affect production in the EU, and if tomorrow there are tough sanctions with SWIFT shutdown, then you just need to cut off the supply of energy resources to the West in order to evaluate what **** ** will start after this step. Even if the United States increases shale gas production and Qatar and Azerbaijan help them in supplying energy resources to Europe, it will still not be possible to replace such volumes of gas in a short time, and it is far from certain that they will physically have such volumes, i.e. the price tag for energy resources in Europe will break through several ceilings at once and will certainly affect foreign markets, including in the USA .... prices for goods and services in Europe and the USA will skyrocket and it will not be easy for Europeans and Americans to keep the situation, I even admit that in The US will start a Republican counterattack along with the population that will take to the streets due to the increase in the prices of gasoline and essential goods ... and it will certainly be possible to put an end to the US-EU Green Agenda.

          Therefore, Russia has its own trump cards, although it’s far from a fact that we will go so far, but (conditionally) we can bring down the world (even without the use of nuclear weapons and the army). As for military-technical measures, if we are driven into a corner, we can try to return to Latin America and target the United States, and through Kaliningrad and Belarus, target our other NATO "friends".

          And of course, you need to enlist the support of China, as one of the largest economies in the world, I think that the GDP did not just go to the opening of the Olympics and in a conversation with Xi, support for China and Russia will be discussed in the event of a sanction.

              I explain popularly: the harm from mutual sanctions is approximately the same, i.e. we will cause them a conditional loss of 1 trillion dollars and they will cause us approximately the same damage, but our economy is conditionally estimated at 2 trillion, and theirs is conditionally 22 trillion. As a result, we lose half of everything we have, and they lose one twenty-second part. Well, who will win?
              Understand, I do not call for surrender, I call not to talk about accelerations and breakthroughs, but to really raise and develop our economy and the standard of living of the population.

                Is anyone against it? I am for it. You just need to understand that in any case there will be sanctions (they already exist) and there will be more, and you need to learn how to live with this. But sanctions are mutual losses, and if we are beaten, then we need to respond, there will be tough sanctions, which means we need to respond harshly, and if we don’t respond, then everyone and sundry will beat us.

                For example, let's take the Donbass, tomorrow the Armed Forces of Ukraine will begin a conditional offensive to clean up the LDNR, and we will have two options 1) Intervene (no matter at what level) and get sanctions. 2) Do not interfere and watch how our citizens are killed.

                Or another example, the United States is deploying medium-range missiles and a missile defense system near our western borders, targeting the Western part of the country and major cities (Moscow, St. Petersburg, etc.) + limiting the possibility of our retaliatory strike using nuclear weapons and reaching acceptable losses for the United States .... and this is not fantasy, everything is moving towards this. Don't answer too? And if we respond with military-technical measures, we will get new sanctions. In general, sanctions can now be obtained for any reason, if there is a desire, but the West has it.

        Not even nasty things, but soft-bodied giveaways with the West.
        Still, we are waiting: What will the guarantor say and do in response to the West's savory spit in the direction of the Russian Federation's ultimatum on security guarantees.
        If this ultimatum was to "separate NATO and the United States for the next negotiations," then this is a clear weakness of the Russian Federation in front of the aggressors, when you are being squeezed from all sides, filling you with frenzied Russophobia, and you are groaning, snotty and wiping yourself, which will lead to our demise as a state already once for sure.
        Or if this is a groundwork for "the decisive and large-scale deployment of new weapons by the Russian Federation without regard for shouts from the West" or "preparation of some decisive actions in the economy that will knock the chair out from under the dollar and the hegemony of the West" - then we will soon find out.
        But, something from the languid lips of the guarantor comes only resentment and endless moaning like "well, we asked us to listen and understand, withdraw the troops, taking into account our concerns, and the West gave us a savory kick in the ass in response. How not culturally and not fair!!!".

    Although Russia really has something to answer. Starting with energy and resources, ending with the return of the normal, human ideology of socialism, which, against the backdrop of the mess that is happening in the world, is quite capable of being very much in demand again.

      The issue of Donbass smoothly migrated from the issue of terror against everything Russian in Ukraine to the plane of SP-2 and the spread of NATO. In Ukraine, the fascist regime differs from Hitler's only in the scale of repressions. The state "stratifies" society: Ukrainians, other peoples, and below - Russians. War crimes - for a whole library of "White Books". But officials are "embarrassed" about this issue.

Even from the article under discussion, this can be seen, the ideas of the level of "shit under the door" or, in some places, "shoot yourself in the foot so that their clothes are splashed."

The process has been going on for a long time, and now here and there the fruits of those measures are appearing that were taken with difficulty, due to the fact that most of the elites are in blissful confidence that they are still waiting for us in the west. And despite this bliss, they managed to push through something, largely thanks to the leadership, by the way. And when the sanctions rang out, it became more and easier to promote them.
      I agree with you, the author’s opinion, in my opinion, is a collection of very strange and eccentric measures, as if on purpose missing really influential steps and opportunities to influence the decisions made by the West.

      Here, a ton of text has already been written, the main message of which is that before arranging a "tough response to the West" you need to look from the outside and ask yourself "have we crossed the very line beyond which we accuse them"? This is not a boxing match, where the one who broke and knocked out the enemy the most is the one who won, but an infinitely long chess game, where you need to understand that the move must always go to the time of the opponent. Today you turned off the gas, who will buy it from you tomorrow? proxy war and hacker attacks, who will make mutually beneficial concessions with you tomorrow? today you cheated, under which flag will you compete tomorrow at the olympic games?
      I do not suggest reading the McLaren report and other pieces of paper hundreds of pages in order to draw conclusions for yourself, but you can always watch two documentaries, two points of view on one event. Which story is more like the truth, and in which one you decide for yourself.

There is not only electronic correspondence and various docks that can be faked, but also opened flasks of the second sampling B, the difference in the actual and reporting documentation, an inspection of the laboratory building in Sochi, where the same “pipe transfer hole” and the second storage room were found duplicate samples with sample B.

    "the application of sanctions - disconnection from international banking services, restrictions on the supply of industrial and household goods, as well as access to the Internet,"
    No need to invent a new when the old works. Our entire economy belongs to the Anglo-Saxons. Russia plays by someone else's rules, so we will always be the losers. We must go our own way, known, from which all Anglo-Saxons will howl:
    "1. Let's carry out the nationalization of strategically important and systemically important industries, the electric power industry, railways, communication systems, leading banks. The state will regain its monopoly on the production and wholesale of ethyl alcohol. This will give impetus to development and bring trillions of rubles to the treasury annually; will allow us to form a development budget instead of the budget of impoverishment and degradation.
    2. Restoration of Russia's economic sovereignty. There are several trillion rubles in the government's pocket. But these colossal funds have been transferred to the management of foreign financial organizations. Those trillions of rubles that are stored in banks and US debt, we will invest in production, science and education. The new government will save the Russian economy from total dollar dependence. Create a financial system in the interests of the state and citizens of the country. We will limit the access of foreign speculative capital to the Russian market. We will refuse to participate in the WTO, because for 4 years of being in this economic punishment cell we have received more than a trillion rubles of direct losses and 5 trillion of indirect ones.
    3. Credit resources - for economic recovery. To this end, we will reduce the bank interest. We will stop the wild withdrawal of capital abroad. "
    I think Grudinin, because of this program, was subjected to repression.

    Today I came across one article from which the hair began to stir ...
    I knew that large multinational companies were buying up everything in the bud in the Russian Federation, but still I was "surprised" so to speak.
    A small snippet from the article:
    "
    ....Over the past 15 years, multinational companies from the US and Europe have taken over dozens of the largest Russian producers of water, dairy products and soft drinks. Hundreds of well-known Russian trademarks were sold. Many of them were sold out "for pennies", and now they are worth millions, but do not belong to us. Juice "Dobry", chocolate "Russia", milk "Merry Milkman", cosmetics "Clean Line", "Fruktime", "Mug and Barrel", "Merry Milkman", "Miracle", "I", "Tone", " Fruit Garden", "Russian Gift", "Springs of Russia", "Favorite Garden", "House in the Village", "Agusha" - all these and hundreds of other brands with Russian names no longer belong to Russian companies. Even the Essentuki brand is no longer ours ...."

    Since they are going to give a "rebuff" to the aggressor, by increasing the pumping of gas by the newly minted Hero of Labor through Ukraine? Or have they forgotten what the food sabotage of the late 80s is, which they themselves staged against the people, to overthrow the communist system in the country? What will prevent in the case of "hot" relations with Western "partners" from repeating to these "partners" the same thing already against the current regime, nationalization? But what about the foreign assets of those close to you? belay

      The Soviet planning distribution system itself provoked food and production sabotage and the policy of the Central Committee of the CPSU, starting from the 50s and at the beginning of the 60s, fell into the arms race, kicked the civilian sector to the first place, the military-industrial complex rolled out thanks to Ustinov and planted the economy on an oil currency needle around the neck of the country, dozens of rogue countries hung which they supplied everyone for thanks in 1986, thanks to the above, the economy of the USSR "arrived" like politics.
      What will prevent in the case of "hot" relations with Western "partners" to repeat to these "partners" the same thing will not be done against the current regime - They will simply take and sell their property in Russia as it was in 2014 - 2015 and there will be no nationalization or they will create left offices through which it will be possible to safely conduct business in Russia without fear of sanctions and investments from the West in Russia, not a few hundreds of billions of dollars, no one will lose their profits and investments, so that no food sabotage will be needed, everyone needs profit and not losses.

    In my opinion, this development of Russia will be the most optimal - the welfare of citizens, the economy, industry, science and medicine. Seeing our achievements, the West itself realizes its mistakes in its attitude towards our country.
    Of course, military and other threats to the security and peaceful life of our citizens must be eliminated and stopped. Russia can give the world space exploration, a new model of human life, the ecological restoration of the planet - that's what we should strive for, and not confrontation, mutual destruction and war.

At least, a significant part of Russian citizens are convinced of this.

    Russia will have to somehow react to these sanctions, and respond harshly enough so that the enemy's population will feel the result in "their own skin". We have no direct options for responding to sanctions, and it is also not very acceptable to unleash a war because of them.

    The answer may lie in asymmetric measures


    I read the proposals of the author of the article (we will turn off the gas, cyber attacks, sponsoring refugees and "corsairs", attacks on communications cables, etc.) and the answers of our members of the forum to these proposals in the spirit that this will lead to a direct military clash, and this is us we can't afford it, I thought - And what kind of asymmetric answer can we give to NATO countries in response to sanctions?

    It is a struggle with effects, not causes. Many commentators, together with the author, do not understand that the enemy should not be sought in the outer contour, the enemy is much closer. The enemy is very close, in every state. institution, administration, court, prosecutor's office, district police department. With rare exceptions, these are the first enemies of the people.

    These measures will not lead to the desired result. If you hope that the West will get scared, beg for mercy and lift the sanctions, you are mistaken. Most likely, they will say: Ctesiphon must be destroyed - and you will learn that the second North Korea is not the last step. Wait for the Cuban embargo, only this time it will be introduced not only by the States. And the whole pro-Western world, dozens of countries in all corners of the planet. When there are not even Chinese goods on the shelves, you will understand that the devil should be paraphrased: it is the Russian Federation that only produces galoshes. If we discard the Manilovism, then it should be recognized: economically, politically, and even more so culturally, the West cannot be defeated in principle. By military means - extremely controversial and too expensive, like a Pyrrhic victory. We need to come up with something smarter. Especially considering that I would very much like to return good relations, as it was before the Georgian mess, to the zero, the best of times. Otherwise, if the above measures are applied, any path to reconciliation will be cut off forever. In general, summing up, I believe that it is a bad idea to measure sanctions with the West, they will certainly pass it on. And since the outcome cannot be changed, they will win anyway, the only question is our losses and destruction - isn’t it better to immediately capitulate unconditionally, fulfill any conditions, that’s right, any conditions at all, so that the West forgives us? But it is possible in another way, with less blood. To sell to the West the only culprit of our quarrel with him, to sell the devil with all his entourage - he alone is to blame for everything.

    Let's put it this way: doing nasty things to your partners is possible and necessary.
    Only this should be done by a special body, where specialists close to genius will work, and, of course, competent ones.
    For example, Great Britain, with its secret and not very expensive moves, caused enormous damage to Russia.
    This is the murder of Paul I with the subsequent invasion of Napoleon, and incitement of the Persians to the destruction of the Russian embassy and the murder of the ambassador, and the organization of the zero world Crimean War, and the threat of war when Skobelev took Constantinople, and a large participation in the supply of weapons through Litvinov in the first Russian revolution, the murder of Rasputin, for being a supporter of Russia's exit from the war, active participation in the civil war and intervention - it was the British who created the first concentration camp in Russia on the island. Mud'yug in the neck of the White Sea and they destroyed not the Reds there, but simply Russian military personnel who opposed the occupation.
    They actively supported all Transcaucasian Musavatists, Dashnaks and Georgian nationalists, Basmachi in Central Asia.
    How Hitler was raised and coached is well known.
    It was Thatcher who correctly discerned who Gorbachev was and lured him into the “club of Western elites.”
    The list is far from complete, it has been going on for more than 200 years (or maybe 300 - Peter I somehow quickly fell ill and died when he began to think about going to Persia, the doctor was an Englishman).
    So, do we have a department or department in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Foreign Intelligence Service, or anywhere else to create problems, and ideally, the collapse of Great Britain? Not at the level of "Landan from E Capital of the Great Britain", but with serious analysts and authority?
    Doesn't deserve it? For me, in terms of the level of damage caused to us, it really deserves it.
    But there is no such thing, and there is no such setting of tasks, and there is no such body.

    And, without irony, all these articles and actions of those in power give me a feeling of deja vu. About 30 years ago, another character with the same (almost) smile ran down the plane over the hill, and we heard about peaceful coexistence, that we have the resources, and they have the technology, and now we’ll live! Those. the resources were gone, but they did not heal. I think that with the eastern version everything will be the same. And, the struggle of the Nanai boys will continue forever. Well, at least until we hear from every “iron” (as my mother told me about the 50s) about lower prices for milk and butter, cheese and meat, etc. For now, the words “global inflation” will be in common use in our country. For now, most of the payments will go through visa and master card. For now, our products will not be bought for rubles. And don’t think that those watching will ever allow you to press the red button, because the current struggle of the “Nanai boys” is more than satisfactory for them.

    In the case of a really wide application of sanctions - disconnection from international banking services, restrictions on the supply of industrial and household goods, as well as access to the Internet, the life of the population in the country may deteriorate by several orders of magnitude.
    Do you ever confuse anything? The United States is not a manufacturer, it is a blackmailer and a consumer of industrial and household goods in the amount of 40% of those produced in the world with a population of just over 4%! Therefore, I consider this point to be clearly unnecessary.

    3. Shutdown of all imported machines and turbines that are serviced remotely

    It seems to me that you are going too far in your aggression and hatred.

    There is a place for them in the fields of Russia,
    Among the coffins that are not theirs.

    London gives Scotland £41 billion a year for proximity

    So that Scotland doesn't turn into Donbass and run away? I'm afraid it won't work...he'll run away!

    Why do people, limited in mental activity, obtaining information and the ability to analyze, still get “information” from TV, try to analyze it and, most importantly, post “their analyses”? And topvar publishes them.
    A bear driven into a corner can only die, because it allowed itself to be driven.

    I hope there won't be any more such nonsense on topware.

    And since the outcome cannot be changed, they will win anyway, the only question is our losses and destruction - isn’t it better to immediately unconditionally capitulate, fulfill any conditions, just any at all, so that the West will forgive us?


    Who's stopping? Surrender personally.
    The only condition under which the West will “forgive” the Russian people is 100% suicide of this people.
    “A good Russian is a dead Russian” and nothing else.

    I couldn’t even get through half of this nonsense... The author needs to eat. Russia is not the USSR! Safety margin in negative values. If the question arises, then almost all (friends) of Russia Venezuela, Cuba, Syria and other dictatorial regimes will fall in a few days (after all, the people in these countries are poor and promise (the Americans) to them (democracy) with the simultaneous bombing of the palaces of the rulers. And no ground operations are unnecessary , the crowd itself will sweep away everything in its path and not a single army will defend the golden throne, knowing that the ruler is already dead or hiding in a bunker. And for such work Russia will be made North Korea, only their people are different (dark), they don’t know how the world lives, therefore (happy) and in Russia people will very soon begin to ask what is happening (even now they only ask quietly in the kitchen and there are not so many of them). Therefore, it is better to invest resources in people! People are the main priority, they made this country and if People will live in Russia! Then all your (historical) lands will ask to join you and not run away at breakneck speed.
