Russia only plays a great power ("Delfi.lv", Latvia)


Russia plays a great power, although in fact it is not. The director of the Latvian Foreign Policy Institute, Andris Spruds, spoke about this in an interview with the First Baltic Channel.

Spruds himself in Russia is banned. He became a persona non grata in response to the blacklist of the political consultant Modest Kolerov and some other Russians.

According to Andris Spruds, the views of Latvia and Russia in historical and strategic issues differ, but there are no economic problems between countries. “Russia is playing a big country. This is important to her. But Russia plays more than it really is, ”the political scientist noted.

According to him, Russia remains great in production. weapons and energy. “But look at the competitiveness and attractiveness of the political and economic model. Here I will say that Russia is not a great power, - Andris Spruds considers. - Who would like to become a member of some organization in which Russia heads? You will see, Belarus, perhaps, even Kazakhstan, Armenia to some extent forced. And to Ukraine they say: “If you do not enter, then you will have a cold winter”.

      Sprats in a tantrum laughing You see, dear colleague, very important hospods from the Baltic Limitrophy really want to show their zeal in licking the master's Phashington ass ... only here one trouble in their efforts, these degenerates have already reached their maximum, and so they have driven their tongues in the ass .. .but the desire to curry favor remains even more ... Only radical measures can help here, and their V.V. Zhirinovsky incidentally recently very well voiced.

            A philosophical and historical study of the spirituality of the Turkmen people - “Rukhnama” (“Book of the Spirit”), the author of which is considered to be Saparmurat Niyazov - was first published in 2001. According to Niyazov, the Turkmens are the leaders in a number of inventions, for example,for example wheels and carts. They were the first to start melting metal. Also according to his version, the ancestors of modern Turkmens founded more than 70 states on the territory of modern Eurasia.

              In Turkmenistan, the secret of the origin of human culture on all continents of the planet Earth has been revealed and scientifically confirmed. As the honored worker of science and technology of Turkmenistan, academician, professor of geophysics and geology, Odek Odekov, both the Aztecs, and Incas, Ainu, Sumerians, and even the Scandinavians came from the ancient Turkmen, and even, in fact, they themselves were ancient Turkmen, who found out Migrating to Europe, Asia and America, they generously carried their high culture, knowledge and civilization to the world. Almost everything that mankind has today, the world was originally obliged to the ancient Turkmens, simply for what they were.

              Ferghana managed to read two books by Odekov. The first is called “We are Asians, Arians, Turkmens,” the second is “Traces of Turkmens on Earth.” These are collections of articles that were published after Turkmenistan gained independence. Surprisingly, this literature is “secret”, the author does not let the books go on open sale, and if he gives someone to read, then he demands that the copy be returned, so that both great books have the status of travel abroad in Turkmenistan. Most likely, the author fears for the mental health of the Turkmens, who are likely to be stunned with joy by learning the truth. But why these great scientific discoveries are hiding from foreign comrades is not clear. Indeed, if the world finds out about its true ancestors, it will begin to respect Turkmenistan, not only for gas, but in general - for all-all-all.


              The Turkmens invented the wheel, made fire, tamed the animals ... - Yes, no one argues with this, just everyone else at that time split the atom and flew into space. laughing wassat laughing

        It's just that the geography is such that there is no way to be independent for the Baltic states. I did not like to be one of the most developed places in the USSR - welcome to the role of the god of the forgotten backyards of the Gayropeysky Union.

      The Baltic states never had a brain, they were always led. Look at their history, the Livonian Order, then the Poles, a little Danes, a little Swedes and from 1721 the territory of Livonia by the Swedes was sold to the Russian Empire.
      And the fact that this imperfection drives Russia is our favorite political move in Latvia - if you want to be a Latvian Latvian - say disgusting things about Russia.

      Be condescending. This is the privilege of the strong. To understand, but not to justify the Latvians, it seems to me possible. They have always felt their inferiority. They were second-class people, savage pagan tribes when Europe was all Christian. The servants of the Livonian knights, the Ostsee barons, the Germans (Riga is a completely German city), and Russian officials and officers. Latvian servants are a sign of bad taste, rude and sloppy. Think about it! Not a single world-class talent! Zero! just pop Pauls, for a laugh. And dull anger has been accumulating for centuries. And it burst in 1917. What did they do with the so-called Russians? Latvian riflemen and Latvian security officers - defies description. Whole families went to "work" in the Cheka, robbing and destroying "bourgeois ballast" - just literate Russian people. The Cheka was 80% Latvian. Berzins, krastins, vatsetis, alksnis and other Latvian scum shed rivers of Russian blood. True, then, comrade. Stalin, gave them what they deserved. And what do you want from them. Without its past, with a suspended present and future in a dying country. Spit in disgust.

    Do not envy dear Andris Spruds !!! At least we can play, but you can't even think of something like that. You do not have an army, the military industry too, the economy is negligible in size. You had a chance to represent something in the world, but only being a member of the Union. You have chosen independence. So "rejoice in the German boot".

    The share of Russian capital in Latvian banks is about 20 percent.
    The share of Russian transit through Latvian ports is 75 percent.
    So for all the alleged independence, Latvia is more than dependent.
    Russia is the largest consumer of Latvian export goods -18.9 percent.

    Yes, because the so-called Russians allow them everything .. You look at the so-called Beaumond (he sang a little bit more decent songs, and got old women, or a little curving on the stage), run and buy in Latvia (Riga, Jurmola), houses, pitchforks , apartments .. And yet on our channels on TV, they brag to each other. And there are not a few of them ... Yes, because our bankers and Nuvovarishi carry and keep their money in their banks, and when they buy real estate, they prevail citizenship .. And this gives them the right to travel around Endrop without a visa ... Yes, according to the fact that all sorts of Burbulis, Chubais, at the top echelons of power, restrain the Russian government’s reaction (from practical matters) to the actions of the Baltic states against Russia .. We all play in tolerance, and are afraid to inflict moral and physical damage, supposedly to our good neighbors, or imaginary to our former cohabitants ... They forget in Russia, some people don’t know, and they don’t know anywhere in the wide information, mass media, etc., that Latvia is the former Latgale, the former Courland, since the creation of the Russian states (principalities) .. more than once then it was part of the Russian principalities, then it came out of them .. It was under the heel of the Swedes, then the Rus, then the Gandzian Union., then again the Rus, then again the Teutons, and so on to infinity ... Now the period has come, the union with the European (so-called) countries .. But nearing the traveling period, when Russia will get bored that this rootless mongrel is barking at it, and for some reason, this country will again become dependent on the Russians .. But then it seems that you don’t have to make the previous mistakes, you have to disperse their statehood and abolish any republic in it, and call some sort of western region of Russia, to calm them in the end ..

      Moscow, April 26. President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev

      We will be realistic - it is unlikely that we will succeed in catching up with and overtaking the leading powers in the technological level of Russia's development in the near future. The Russian economy is 10 times less than the American. And the scientific potential was actually destroyed after the collapse of the USSR. Today, the gap in a number of critical basic technologies from leading Western countries is decades.

It is foolish to deny that Russia has a desire to become strong, independent, the country has imperial ambitions, a desire to restore its former greatness, influence, so passive rotting mongrels always yelp.

    Be condescending. This is the privilege of the strong. To understand, but not to justify the Latvians, it seems to me possible. They have always felt their inferiority. They were second-class people, savage pagan tribes when Europe was all Christian. The servants of the Livonian knights, the Ostsee barons, the Germans (Riga is a completely German city), and Russian officials and officers. Latvian servants are a sign of bad taste, rude and sloppy. Think about it! Not a single world-class talent! Zero! just pop Pauls, for a laugh. And dull anger has been accumulating for centuries. And it burst in 1917. What did they do with the so-called Russians? Latvian riflemen and Latvian security officers - defies description. Whole families went to "work" in the Cheka, robbing and destroying "bourgeois ballast" - just literate Russian people. The Cheka was 80% Latvian. Berzins, krastins, vatsetis, alksnis and other Latvian scum shed rivers of Russian blood. True, then, comrade. Stalin, gave them what they deserved. And what do you want from them. Without its past, with a suspended present and future in a dying country. Spit in disgust.

    But we’re not saying that we are ideal) and you shouldn’t sew a sleeve to 3,14 here, it happened, but the greatness lies in the fact that if you fall, you get up and move on, and this happened more than once in the history of Russia, whoever did not fall never rose. And yet, your fellow countryman gave up Crimea and gave it, as it seemed then to the fraternal people, for eternal friendship, the result is known, and if Russia, as you hint, had taken everything back by force, then there would have been no smell of greatness in this case .Yes, sometimes they ruled us, but who didn’t they rule, if you look? But there were also bright heads under whose rule Russia rose again and again, by the way, with these bright rulers, Ukraine when it tried to be independent was even more unlucky than Russia and is unlucky to this day, you just continue to choose assholes to rule you and at this time) So, as I wrote above, there is no need to sew a sleeve. For centuries, Russia is considered to be the only one opposed to the entire West, since all the countries, and once territories, that are now allied around Russia or were previously part of it are not comparable then and even now count with Western countries in everything: resources, people, science, etc., there is much more of all this, and Russia has resisted all this for centuries with varying success, bent, but did not break, did not give up and continues to fight. There are many problems inside, but they We are also trying to decide how it will be in the future, we don’t know, but we think we will fight...

    The world does not stand still, the age of such empires is gone. Now, it seems to me, is the time for alliances, for the common good. For example, we can say that the states are a union and so that all members of this union live well, the United States, having military power, wages wars and prints money and lives at the expense of everyone else. Europe took a different path, not having such military power, they created the EU and its association and its members live differently, feed mainly from the association members, to which Ukraine joins, picks up crumbs from the states. And Russia, which how it can fight back like many other countries, but feeds the United States and how Russia wants to create a Customs Union and the Eurasian Union, so that together they can start living more satisfyingly and also enter or try to enter other other unions: SCO, BRICS, etc., so that together with other countries and will protect itself from the USA and the EU.

    According to Andris Spruds, the views of Latvia and Russia on historical and strategic issues differ, but there are no problems between the countries in the economic sphere. “Russia is playing at being a big country. This is important to her. But Russia plays more than it actually is,” the political scientist noted.

    Russia is playing at being a big country.
    Just for fun, Russia ranks 8th in the world and 1st in Europe in terms of population. The Russian language is in 4th place in the world and 1st in Europe. In terms of scientific and technological development, Russia ranks 1st in Europe and 2nd (?) in the world. Russia builds nuclear power plants and submarines, explores space and puts satellites into orbit, etc. etc., which is available to only a few countries out of 200 on the planet.
    Latvia, compared to Russia, is at zero level in all respects, so the opinion of all the Spruds taken together is worth no more than fly poop.

    method in modern history took place during the period between the world wars,
    takes place today.
    Second. Prosperous provinces of BIG Russia. And this way of being
