West suffers Russia with "international" isolation

116
Western leaders have found something to their liking: to practice how to behave with countries that have, let's say, their own, different from the western and pro-Western, point of view. In particular, on the situation in Ukraine. For obvious reasons, the main focus on finding a “hard answer” is placed on the Russian Federation. We will try to deal in more detail with the measures that our “partners” are going to take in our (Russian) attitude.

To begin with, I would like to point out a state that is “concerned” in such a way that it “cannot eat” - if to paraphrase a hero of a remarkable Soviet film a little. This, as the absolute majority of readers guessed, is, of course, the most democratic, the most humane, the brightest and smelling exclusively of violets, the state of the world - the United States of America ...

The other day, US Secretary of State Mr. Kerry made a sizzling critic of the Russian position on the situation in Ukraine. Kerry noted that the United States and "some other countries" (we guess which ones) are determined to isolate Russia in the international arena due to the possibility for the Russian President, the Federation Council, to use Russian troops on Ukrainian territory.



All the foreign ministers with whom I spoke yesterday, including representatives of the G8 countries, have a common view on the situation: they are going to isolate Russia and not deal with it as usual
, - expressed the chief diplomat of the United States.

After such a statement, Mr. Kerry would like to ask him when, for the last time, he even glimpsed his progressive democratic view of the globe? Which country is Kerry and other "representatives" going to isolate "internationally"? Russia? With Burundi or Ivory Coast is not an hour confused (forgive the people of Burundi and Cote d'Ivoire). Russia is like not only within the Garden Ring ...

In this regard, for the US Secretary of State and other “insulators” I would like to provide a small geographical reference: the total length of the border of the Russian Federation (according to the Frontier Service) is 60900 km. With China alone, more than 4200 km ... “Isolator” did not grow.

However, the United States is determined ... The same John Kerry threatens:

Russia may lose the G8 summit in Sochi. If the situation does not change, it is possible that this country will even be excluded from G8.

Immediately after the statement by Mr. Kerry, information came from other representatives of G8 that they, they say, all of them suspend their preparations for the G8 summit in Sochi, which is scheduled for the summer. So, on a visit to Putin, having expressed his principled “fi”, representatives of such states as the USA, Germany, Canada, France, Great Britain, Italy will not deign to go (and this state is still doing something in the G8 - maybe or pens paint ...) and Japan.

So, so, so ... The Russians are offended by this demarche ... Well, we will not be able to contemplate in Sochi such democratic lights as Barack Obama or Canadian Prime Minister Harper (and there is such ...). What a tragedy, however ...

True, by agreeing not to prepare for the summit, representatives of far from all the G8 countries expressed their determination to exclude Russia from G8. One of those countries that declared the need to maintain a direct dialogue with Russia was Germany. Whether it was after Putin and Merkel talked on the phone, or if the high-ranking German politicians still have more gray matter in the skull boxes and, accordingly, more pragmatics than some (will not show a finger ...) others. In general, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier spoke out about the Kerry proposal impartially. He stated that he saw no reason to exclude the Russian Federation from G8, presenting his arguments:

I rather belong to those who say that G8 is the only format in which we, the representatives of the West, can still speak with Russia without intermediaries. And should we really sacrifice this format?


Probably, Steinmeier took such a position, which does not fit Washington, for the reason that he, as the Russian proverb says, has a stigma in a cannon. After all, it was Steinmeier who was one of the “guarantors” of the February 25 agreement from 2014 between Viktor Yanukovych and representatives of the so-called Ukrainian opposition. As everyone knows, the guarantors of Steinmeier and his two colleagues (representatives of France and Poland) did not come out. And if it did not, then the German Foreign Minister, in fact, is one of those who actually condoned the escalation of the conflict in Ukraine. Well, if Harr Steinmeier realizes this, then we can consider it a step forward from his side. But will the position of the head of the German Foreign Ministry be heard in the rest of the Six? ..

Although on the other hand - and what is, in fact, G8? Have you ever resolved important issues in this organization, did you take into account, say, Russian interests? Sorry, but the phrase “The Big Eight” does not cause anything other than irony, if only because it has Italy, not China, for example, if it has Japan, but not India or Brazil ... So, that today's G8 is a peculiar concentrate of pro-American geopolitics, which, by a misunderstanding, is diluted by Russia. But if the guys there are “well concentrated” - to the level of vigorous acetic essence, then whether Russia needs to marinate with them, persistently “add as friends” to this narrow circle of impassable debtors (the national debt of Japan alone today is more than 12 trillion (!) dollars)? .. A question from the category of rhetorical.

But, let's continue about the measures. One of the measures that should happen to this, is again expressed by Mr. Kerry. Not otherwise, all night in his notebook, breaking pencils, made notes.

So, the next measure against Russia from Mr. Kerry personally. According to him, citizens of Russia who are going to come to the US in the near future or, attention, to Europe, may be denied visas. We remind you that this seems to be said not like the Supreme Pharaoh of All Europe and America, but the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of a single state. In this regard, the question arises: do the words of John Kerry mean that decisions on issuing or not issuing visas to the European Union are made to Russian citizens in the United States of America, or under the “sensitive guidance” of the diplomatic services of this state? The world, of course, guessed that the European Union did not know what independent politics was, but so clearly ...

By the way, on the ban on entry and other demarches. The US side refused to receive visas to representatives of the Rosselkhoznadzor, who were supposed to arrive in the US to discuss work in the WTO (in particular, on the possible accession to Kazakhstan of the WTO). Considering the “bright future” that can be expected when joining the World Trade Organization, most news the delegates from the Rosselkhoznadzor were probably delighted about Kazakhstan being banned from entering America ... The Americans thought it would make Astana indignant - they say, “Russian militarism” does not allow honest Kazakhs to join the WTO humanly, but honest Kazakhs responded much more restrained ... The Kazakh delegation, by the way, was admitted to the United States. And now, her (the Kazakh delegation) representatives think - maybe in vain we were “let in”, maybe before it is too late - well, this is her WTO ...

In general, the isolation is mind-blowing, nothing to say.

By the way, in this regard, it would be important for the Russian Foreign Ministry to mention all those Russian citizens to whom the US Embassy is going to issue visas without any problems - there is reason to think. Especially, given that the average Russian in the United States is hardly going.

Other “our” partners, hot Finnish guys, for example, represented by Finnish Defense Minister Carl Haglund, decided to apply their sanctions against Russia. Mr. Haglund, O Mother of God, TAKEN and POSTPONED the trip to St. Petersburg, where he was to meet with Sergei Shoigu! Here is a demarche, so a demarche ... The main Finnish military man explained his “postponement” with the situation in Crimea. And how after that exist St. Petersburg people? The northern capital was waiting, you know, getting ready ...

New Zealand also decided to isolate Russia. The question is heard: “where is it?”

So the New Zealand government will suspend negotiations on the conclusion of an agreement on a free trade zone with Russia. In this regard, it is interesting to look at the person who in general thought up to conclude such an agreement with the NC. A closer just no one to conclude? For reference: the distance from Moscow to Wellington (the capital of New Zealand) in a straight line is more than 15 thousand kilometers. Another would be the signing of the border treaty refused, pranksters ...

Well, and the “world community” is threatening to boycott the Paralympic Games, recall its ambassadors from Russia (Lithuania and Canada have already withdrawn), freeze accounts in Western banks and other “horrors”. In this regard, the question-proposal to our authorities: maybe, after all, we will reformat the contents of the Reserve Fund, removing about 100 billion dollars from the "use" of the banking system of Europe and the USA? Wow, how will these systems be “delighted” ... Is there enough political will in Russia itself? ..

PS
The Iranian ambassador to Russia, Ihdi Sanai, expressed support for the Russian Federation regarding the moves being taken by the West and said that it is hardly necessary to fear for a country like Russia:

It seems that the psychological impact of sanctions and the pressure of the United States and the West on economic institutions exceeds the sanctions themselves. I urge the Russian trade and economic institutions to increase their work with Iran.


Chinese edition "People's Daily" (in fact, the main press organ of the Chinese Communist Party, expressing the position of official Beijing) writes that the United States was finally bogged down with arguments about its sanctions "in the Cold War worldview."

From the article:

The complexity of the current system of international relations lies in changing the balance of the real strength of large countries; international rules have entered a period of regulation. Thus, the states of the world should renew mutual understanding about each other, abandon inert thinking, take advantage of opportunities in order to create a space for cooperation. The existing problems between the West and Russia can be solved only by relying on concrete cooperation and trust.

It is necessary to abandon the ideological shackles of the Cold War, the only way to reduce the force of unnecessary resistance, improving international relations.


A British company British Petroleum, according to its management, lost only 1 a billion dollars in just one day of “international sanctions” against Russia due to falling Rosneft prices ... Analyst Andrew Neff says this:

The deterioration of Russia's relations with the West puts British Petroleum and Exxon in an extremely difficult position. They are waiting for a relatively difficult period, but they are unlikely to leave the Russian market.

        If they could isolate Russia, without serious consequences for themselves, then they would do so in August 2008. Isolation of Russia is a bluff. But Putin has not yet turned all the levers, only the most obvious ones, made it clear that he will do everything for Ukraine, and as far as it needs to, and he has the embargoes of America.

          So we don’t remember about China, and these are not small interests in the Crimea, inclusive ... And as a result:“The Chinese side expressed understanding of the analysis presented by Russia of the causes of the deep political crisis in Ukraine, the role played by external forces in supporting EuroMaidan, as well as the consequences of its actual failure to fulfill the agreements on the Agreement on the settlement of the crisis in Ukraine of February 21 from .g. ”, the message says.

            I agree with the West and am happy to introduce all possible sanctions, but we cannot, because in return we can withdraw from many agreements, start deliveries of X-NUMX to Iran and Syria, and possibly Iskander. And then if they use all their sanctions capabilities now, then what they what will they do if in response to these actions we introduce troops and annex Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Crimea, and southeast Ukraine to Russia? what will they then answer if they have already used everything? so that they may hold some sanctions, especially the gas valve on our side)))

          Then they were not ready for such a turn of events and were on the eve of action. Now they had prepared and were counting on such a development of the "outskirts" question.
          They will introduce sanctions like "Jackson-broom", "Magnitsky list".
          All "lards" of gold and foreign exchange reserves, the accounts of the Aligarhs will be "frozen". The property of the aligarchs and officials will be nationalized.
          Include all resources and all possible leverage.
          They also have nothing to lose.

And in general, the "shabby" sentiments prevail among the majority of the public, which again forgets that the US Army has gained tremendous combat experience over the past decades, this is an important component of the army's combat capability.

        I want to draw the attention of the members of the forum to the fact that, unscrupulously and brazenly, all political representatives of the “civilized community” are lying about the situation in Ukraine. A bunch of nurtured neo-fascists are given out for the Ukrainian people, they are trying to present their crimes with lawful actions, and lawful actions of the defended lawfully elected government as a crime. At the same time, the blood that people shed according to their instructions is being dumped onto the defending side.
        In this slanting top ten, both the American president, and the English prime minister and a bunch of smaller vassals. And it became clear that all of them - without exception - are complete villains.
        It is time for all of us to understand that under the real - totalitarian - democratic regime, it is the selection of such outcasts, essentially criminals, to power. And think about a return from democracy to the Soviet democracy.

      You shouldn’t be so, gentlemen. Article minus, a set of emotional pearls. Facts and analytics are zero. The banking sector alone will lose about 60 billion dollars, in addition, the capitalization of Russian companies is falling, this is without taking into account the fact that the top Russian enterprises are credited by international organizations (Lukoil, for example).

Are you aware that even with us, in Latvia, 58% of Ukrainians are on the right (or rather, in disempowered status) of non-second-class citizens? And this is the EU country, which announced the support of the Ukrainian people (Bandera and other similar cattle), which, along with the rest of the stars in the United States, screeches about democracy and other mutoten. It is a matter of honor for Russia itself - whether it has taken place as a truly independent and self-sufficient state or whether it should nevertheless turn into our likeness of reluctant mongrels in front of the Master. This is an elementary question - to be a People or a people, a State or a certain territorial unit under an actual protectorate.

    Isolation is to a large extent dangerous for the Russian "elite". But for most of the Russian people, threats to the elite are like a threat from a Finnish minister. Perhaps we will survive. But, on the other hand, - in principle, it is not necessary to shake things up. Food prices will affect many.
    It seems reasonable to use the results of the night session of the UN Security Council. There they demanded "to return Russian troops to their places of permanent deployment." Yes! The self-defense forces in Crimea have co-organized, the government of the autonomy is acting reasonably and decisively. In principle, IMHO - you can really place a group of polite people with weapons and in uniforms without identification marks on the territory of the Black Sea Fleet base in Sevastopol. Under the control of international observers. And the UN requirement is fulfilled, and the necessary forces are within 2 hours on armor to any point on the peninsula. And the quota of 25 personnel is far from being chosen.
    And do not escalate anything.

    EU nominated Russia
    ultimatum in Ukraine
    3 March 2014, 23: 55
    EU Foreign Ministers held
    in Brussels an emergency meeting,
    dedicated to the situation
    in Ukraine. Accusing Russia
    in exacerbating the crisis in the Crimea,
    European diplomats
    put forward an ultimatum to Moscow:
    if until March 6 she
    will not take steps to
    “De-escalation of the situation
    on the peninsula ”then there will be
    punished. First thing
    proposed to collapse
    simplification negotiations
    visa regime between the Russian Federation
    and the EU
    The European Union threatened Russia
    sanctions in case of
    “Continued escalation
    in Crimea". The situation in Ukraine
    EU foreign ministers
    discussed on Monday
    at an unscheduled meeting
    in Brussels. Following the meeting
    they put forward Russia
    ultimatum: before emergency
    EU summit scheduled
    on Thursday, Moscow should
    take steps to
    “Termination of military
    activity ”in Crimea - in another
    in case she faces sanctions.
    Firstly, it is
    on curtailing negotiations
    visa liberalization
    regime between the Russian Federation and the EU. On the
    at the moment the parties are
    dialogue in two directions -
    visa facilitation
    formalities and complete cancellation
    visas However, it is worth noting
    that talks on both tracks
    started to skid yet
    before the appearance between Moscow
    and Brussels disagreements
    regarding the situation in Kiev.
    Collapse Dialog
    visa liberalization
    regime will hit the plans of the Russian Federation -
    in Moscow hoped for progress
    at least one
    of directions already this year.
    Secondly, the EU threatens Russia
    suspension of negotiations
    by signing a new base
    Partnership agreement
    and collaboration. Without basic
    cooperation agreements of the Russian Federation
    and the EU have been living since 2008. Former
    1994 agreement (entered into
    in force in 1997) acted
    ten years and by 2007,
    According to the parties,
    hopelessly out of date. RF and EU
    hoped to quickly develop
    new document in return
    former, however, the process is
    and the case was interrupted due
    unforeseen circumstances -
    trade war with Poland,
    political disagreement
    with Lithuania and general cooling
    relations with the EU due to war
    in South Ossetia.
    The last hurdle
    the adoption of the agreement became
    protracted negotiations
    on Russia's entry
    to World Trade
    organization. But also after
    Russia's entry into the WTO process
    did not budge. The EU has become
    insist on making
    in the agreement of a number of paragraphs,
    not covered by agreements
    RF with the WTO (we are talking about trade
    investment
    competition law
    and public procurement mode). Moscow is
    accused Brussels that he
    "Wants everything at once." Lately
    EU time showed much greater
    interest
    in intensifying negotiations
    on this topic than Russian
    side. So it’s rather a “goal
    into their gates. "
    About additional measures
    which the EU can resort to,
    Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov
    on Monday night should
    had to tell him German
    colleague Frank Walter
    Steinmeier (immediately after the meeting
    German Foreign Minister in Brussels
    flew to Geneva, where on that
    moment was mr
    Lavrov). Tuesday or wednesday
    head of Russian diplomacy
    will discuss the situation in Ukraine
    with the EU Foreign Minister
    Katherine Ashton (meeting will be held
    in Madrid).
    March 3 leaders of member countries
    "Group of Seven" (G7) - Canada,
    France, Italy, Germany,
    Japan, UK
    and the USA - condemned Moscow for
    “Apparent violation
    sovereignty and territorial
    integrity of Ukraine ”,
    pausing preparation
    to participate in the upcoming summit
    in Sochi.

    Pentagon: US freezes
    military ties with Russia over
    events in Ukraine
    4 March 2014, 5: 02
    WASHINGTON, March 4. / ITAR
    TASS. US freeze
    military ties with Russia over
    events in Ukraine. About it
    it is said in common
    March 3 Pentagon statement
    “In the light of recent events
    in Ukraine we suspend
    all military contacts between the USA
    and Russia, ”says
    in the document.
    It is worth recalling: 1
    March US Secretary of Defense Chuck
    Hagel announced that Washington
    intends to settle contradictions
    with Moscow in Ukrainian
    issue diplomatically.
    “We are trying to act,
    keeping the spotlight
    diplomacy. It is proper
    responsible approach, ”said
    Pentagon chef in an interview
    CBS channel.
    Hagel walked away from a direct answer
    to the question of what measures
    can take washington
    if saved by him
    disagreements with Moscow
    on the situation in Ukraine. "We have
    many options like
    from any other country, ”said
    he specifying what the US is doing
    bet on diplomacy.
    However, the head of the American
    military department expressed
    opinion that may develop
    “Very dangerous situation” if
    events in Ukraine "will continue
    develop provocative
    way. "

    So suppose I have 1 billion. You have a bank. It's all so cool. But I know that this bank can freeze any of its depositors' accounts at the request of the government. Will I carry my money to this bank? I think the answer is obvious . The bank seems to me the identity of happiness will not increase from this.

    1 The broadest autonomy of Crimea
    2 Implementation of agreements of 21.02.14

Foreign companies / investors have been fruitfully working in Russia for a long time, earning quite a decent profit, incomparable with Europe and America. Take only one auto industry: sales of new cars are growing only in Russia and China (I speak competently). Western business is very pragmatic. For the sake of some kind of Ukraine (which not everyone can show on the map), they will not wind down their projects, close factories and enterprises. And the fact that the ruble is "storming" is banal speculative mega-operations of Western and our bankers !!!

    Nothing new actually happened. You can't wash a black dog to white - folk wisdom, as always, is 100% right. Any adequate person should remember that the greatest folly would be to assume that it is possible to convince with the words of an inveterate scumbag, which is the United States along with a crowd of its satellites, among which our "good" neighbor Finland is also noticed. This is also about the question of the next groaning, for example, about the loss of the information war in Ukraine. And how was it conceived to win in it, if Russia is simply not allowed into not only the Western pseudo-demacratic media with any information or explanation that does not fit into their matrix, but in the same Ukraine they are jammed as they can. You need to know your history and remember that the Crimean War of 1853-1856. was fought against Russia by England, France, Turkey and Italy, which had been forced into this company. So the words about the unceasing aggression for a thousand years (in any of its manifestations) against Russia is not paranoia, but just a statement of historical facts, that you want peace - get ready for war. As they say, God save me from such friends, and I myself will get rid of enemies.

    But it seems to me that the point is what.
    Obama and his administration have lost, for obvious reasons, all the points and percentages of confidence in their population.
    Like a drowning man grabbing a straw, they are trying to switch the population to foreign policy.
    Their hysteria regarding the huge state. debt and actually impending default and caused these chewing snot.
    Look. After all, Russia has not even brought a single regiment or brigade into Ukraine, but acts only in units from the Russian Black Sea Fleet, and Kerry is already howling: Occupation, 19th century. Pi ... t to world peace. The Russians are coming (apparently seen enough videos about Crimea and the "Russians are coming" on YouTube impressed him with mi-8, mi-35 and mi-24 filmed on the phone). Aaaaaa. Urgently and urgently isolate, quickly and quickly ban all visas. Immediately, I said, immediately the European Union stand at attention. Listen to battle order from Washington:
    1. Do not issue visas to Europe - let them feel how unbearable it is to live without trips to Europe-Latky, Lithuania, the Czech Republic, Germany-France.
    2. Break military ties. Let them - like their ships, when the solarium ends, hang out at our shores and eat raw fish. We will not refuel them and will not swim to them ourselves. Ish cho! Give Crimea to the invaders.
    3. Agricultural workers from Russia are not allowed. Let them themselves lose crops without our "technologies".
    4. Russian accounts to freeze. Let them print their wooden ones and depreciate them, but we will not be paid.
    Then Putin will sing, here the Russians will kneel down and pray.

    Do not be like that. Drive banerovtsev and destroy! Without looking back at NATO and the states to bring in cases of troops in Ukraine. Yarosh at the stake, the controlling clique of the leadership of Kiev - in prison.
    We are barbarians, you yourself brought us up for 20 years, get it.

    If our industry and agriculture could fully meet the needs of our country and our allies, then we could shout that we should isolate them to one place ....
    If our Armed Forces were ready to repel external aggression, then it would be possible to ignore the cries from behind the hill ...
    But what the authors of numerous articles on this site warned for so long and in detail, began to take on distinct forms.
    For such a case, we need the combat-ready Armed Forces, our own industry and our own agriculture. But do those who recently deliberately destroyed it all understand this? And if you understood, then for whom did you work?

    As people say: “F*ck, don’t move the bags!” V.V. Putin does not look like a madman, therefore all of Russia’s steps in his person are deeply thought out several steps ahead. International politics is like a game of chess. And then, if you carefully analyze what is happening, Russia and China always act in tandem in foreign policy, so there will be no international isolation. Yankees go let them go! hi

    The opposition was shocked by the opinion poll about Russian support for the deployment of troops

    Congratulations to Putin.
    We just conducted a social survey with the Agency for Social Research on order, a sample of 4200 people, a classic sample of respondents, telephone calls, the street.
    The question “Do you support the entry of troops into Ukraine”, without explanation about Crimea, Donbass, Kyiv. 56.8% - yes, 19.6% - no. In protest, intelligent Moscow 51%/24%, in St. Petersburg 47%/31%
    The second question is “Are you ready to be drafted into the army to carry out such a mission or to send your child to war?”
    You will be amazed.
    52% are ready to go themselves, kill their Slavic brothers and force their children into a meat grinder. In Moscow - our Moscow, which voted for Navalny - 49,8% are ready.
    Now sit down tighter. “Are you prepared for sanctions (impossibility of traveling abroad, shortage of foreign goods, economic difficulties) in the event of Russia’s active use of the armed forces?” 50.4% in Russia and 45.2% in Moscow answered yes.
    Today the customer will be happy.

    Regarding sanctions that supposedly could bother Russia. Well, let’s say that by some miracle the EU and the US agreed to impose sanctions against us - although this is unlikely. How would we suffer? We provide ourselves with food. Various consumer goods are supplied to us by China, which would not participate in Western games against Russia and join sanctions under any circumstances.
    If the West began to seize the accounts and real estate of our deputies, I would only applaud: it is high time for them to transfer their assets back to Russia.
    What remains? Maybe Germany would refuse to buy our gas? It sounds like “alcoholic Vasya Pupkin announced a boycott of the wine and vodka department.” We can live without their money: we will redirect gas to the east and reduce sales volumes. Soaring prices compensate us for this reduction. But Europe will simply freeze to death without our gas. They don’t buy gas from us out of pity; they really need it.
    So, rest assured, no one will freeze their ears to spite grandma. Economic sanctions against Russia are now something out of science fiction.

    we have excellent trade
    economic relations
    with our partners in the East
    and in the South and we will find a way

    financial dependence on the USA,
    but we will also get out of these sanctions

    I’ll add one more important point: if at least 1 dollar is frozen from the reserve fund (1/3 of it in the USA), then the USA itself will be pissed off. And it’s even beneficial for us. All the same, this money will never be returned. It’s better to let them burn, and we will finally free our Central Bank from the Fed and it will start working for the Russian state. In any case, we will only benefit from this.

    And let them include sanctions.
    They will seize the accounts, but do you or I have accounts there? There are accounts with oligarchs and embezzlers. And I do not mind them.
    Impose an arrest on state holdings. So you don’t need to keep accumulated in American securities, but you need to invest in your own production, science, education and medicine. In general, abandon payments with the dollar within the country. Nationalize all the assets of American and European companies in Russia.
    They will limit investment in Russia. Limit in response the supply of gas and oil to Europe. And when world prices for oil and gas soar, and then their inflation and consumer prices jump, they themselves will abandon this ...
    The "Magnitsky List" was expanded. Create your own list and declare persona non grata Nuland, kerry and other, also European politicians, who have been noticed inciting war in Libya, Iraq, Syria.
    Limit military-technical cooperation and cooperation between Russia and NATO. In response, to ban ground and air transit of any cargo through Russia, and then to ensure that through the CSTO and SCO member countries to Afghanistan. And let them remain there alone with the Taliban ...
    Russia, in alliance with the countries of the Customs Union, has almost complete food security. And it can work with Europe through the same Belarus and Kazakhstan. And when enterprises from Novorossiya and the East of Ukraine join them, then it will generally become self-sufficient.
    And if you need finance, then there is China. He refused the dollar and now he needs to place it somewhere and somehow. Why not invest in economic projects in Russia. And by the way, it will be possible to invest in those assets that can be nationalized from Westerners...

    Well, why didn’t any of you follow the link a few posts above to Glazyev’s speech? He clearly answered everything that you write a full page here
    http://ria.ru/economy/20140304/998048715.html

    “If we talk about economic sanctions from the EU, then for them this will completely turn into an economic disaster, since the cessation of Russian gas supplies cannot be compensated for in the foreseeable future, this will mean an increase in energy prices in Europe, which is beneficial for the Americans. The US is specifically pushing the EU to sanctions against the Russian Federation, in order to direct their gas, which they are now extracting from shale deposits, to the vacated niche from Russian gas. I think that this will be a very good impulse for our economy - to engage in diversification, to deepen processing and our own self-sufficient financial system, where the main sources of credit would not be external loans, but internal sources of loans."

    “The Americans threaten Russia with sanctions and involve the EU in a trade and economic war with Russia. Regarding the possible consequences of these sanctions, I can say the following: the US itself will suffer the most from the sanctions against Russia, because if we talk about trade relations with America, we are not affected by them. We hold treasury bills for a decent amount - more than $ 200 billion, and if the United States dares to impose sanctions against us to freeze the accounts of Russian enterprises and citizens, then we will no longer be able to view America as a reliable partner and will recommend everyone to dump American Treasury bills , dump dollars as a currency that we cannot be sure of and leave the American market. "

    "We will have to go to other currencies, create our own settlement and payment system. We have excellent trade and economic relations with our partners in the East and South, and we will find a way not only to nullify our financial dependence on the United States, but also get out of these sanctions with great benefit for ourselves.An attempt to declare sanctions against the Russian Federation will result in a collapse for the US financial system, which will entail the end of the US dominance in the global financial system.If sanctions are applied against state structures, we will be forced to actually admit the impossibility of returning those loans that were given to Russian structures by US banks, because sanctions are a double-edged weapon, and if the US freezes our assets, then, accordingly, the liabilities of our organizations in dollars will also be frozen. This means that our banks and enterprises will not return to US loans to partners, "Glazyev said.

    The Russian government seems to be perplexed by what Glazyev said... But Glazyev is an adviser to the President of Russia, and the Russian government led by Medvedev is a clear 5th column...

    While I was writing my post, someone had already posted Glazyev’s calculations, nothing would hurt... From the latest news... US Secretary of State Kerry made a slip of the tongue that could cost him dearly... In his speech, he stated that the United States would prevent Russians from obtaining visas to USA and Europe... An hour ago, the German Foreign Minister spoke out with indignation - literally, “what the head of the US Foreign Ministry is free to decide who will or will not be allowed into the countries of Europe”

    The European press is mocking - “of course we knew that all of the EU’s foreign policy has recently been directed from the United States, but not to the same extent”

    The United States and its vassal the EU have turned diplomacy into an activity “according to principles,” and even then not completely, because “according to principles” implies keeping one’s word and fulfilling agreements.
    The tools of US diplomacy are as follows: deception, bribery, blackmail, threats, sanctions, embargoes, provocations, lies and media propaganda, military force. The set is not shabby, but, alas, the set of a totalitarian state.

Troops were brought in instantly! Know ours! We'll catch everyone! We'll catch everyone! No one can tell us! We'll take everything! And so on.

    And this is not about sending troops to the USA, to Europe to the shitcrats and liberoids, and to a Slavic country, to whose neighbor the Russian people are closer both in mentality and blood. Forgotten slogans - We are Slavs! We are one people! We are of the same origin!

    And all this in the 21st century itself. The pages of history about the grief of wars are forgotten, the still fresh memories of the devastation of WW2 are forgotten. And all only because of a false understanding of the greatness of what is already the largest country in the world.

    Putin's Kremlin, nostalgic for the borders of the empire and the USSR, decided to collect stones in 2000. The idea itself is good and relevant to jointly confront the challenges of our time. But how did the Kremlin do it? Not through long negotiations about equitable The Eurasian Community with mutual concessions, but a policy of pressure and arm-twisting. And the Kremlin began with the Slavic peoples - Belarusians and Ukrainians. He did all sorts of things, supposedly if you don’t come under our wing - customs barriers, cordons sanitaires, closing gas valves, and other sanctions.

    What is the result? Lukashenko was somehow calmed down from kicking and left independent. Ukraine is now unlikely to look east this century, both for help and for advice. And all just to restore former borders and influence. It turned out worse than ever.

    What happened in Ukraine? The people swept away the rotten regime. He called new elections. All. No one raided Russian-speaking areas. So the Kremlin had a very strong hand in further destabilizing the situation in Ukraine. He raised the Armed Forces and sent troops into Crimea.

    SLAVS!!!

    Once in my childhood, when I was 6-7 years old, the boys and I went from the village to the sea to swim. The distance was about 4-5 km. The road through the fields where collective farm herds of animals grazed. Then veterinary medicine was still rather weak and breeding specimens grazed in the herds .Here we passed a flock of sheep on the left and cows on the right. And then a huge dark red bull roared out of the cow herd and flew towards us. We naturally jumped to the side and ran away. There weren’t any trees around, in short, there was nowhere to hide. And then there was a shepherd who was herding the sheep began to shout to us and call to them. Well, of course, there was no need to persuade us. They ran up, the man ordered us to sit on the ground. And the bull was right there, his eyes were bloodshot, his muzzle was to the ground, his nostrils were like a locomotive and he was pecking the ground with his hoof. there are like bath leaves around the guy, and he calms us down as best he can and cracks his whip. Then a breeding ram comes out of the herd, goes up to the bull, sniffs it, then backs away about ten meters. And with acceleration (I remember this crack) he hit the bull in the forehead so hard that he sat on his ass. The bull softened the second blow by turning around when he darted towards his own people. What is this for? The ram against the bull weighs four times less, but he believes that he is right in his herd. The current situation is similar to that from childhood, they surrounded , posing as heavyweights, they scare and scare. We have been accustomed to fear since childhood, but what will happen when they scare you?

But after today's press conference by Putin, it seems that a reverse move has been made. recourse Somehow the Crimeans are not actively putting pressure on the Ukrainians either. They suddenly became bolder, and the referendum question hung on hold. Is it possible that Russia will give up on the “Akhazization” of Crimea and after this active pressure there will only be zilch and Russophobic negativity left in Ukraine?

    Quote: Beck
    YESAA!?!?!?

    I read pro-Kremlin articles about Ukraine and everything related to it. I read comments choking with their delight, in some cases turning into a squeal - Here we are! Troops were brought in instantly! Know ours! We'll catch everyone! We'll catch everyone! No one can tell us! We'll take everything! And so on.

    And this is not about sending troops to the United States, to Europe to the shitcrats and liberoids, but to a Slavic country, to a neighbor whose neighbor both in mentality and blood is not closer to the Russian people. Forgotten slogans - We are Slavs! We are one people! We are of the same origin!

    And all this in the 21st century itself. The pages of history about the grief of wars are forgotten, the still fresh memories of the devastation of WW2 are forgotten. And all only because of a false understanding of the greatness of what is already the largest country in the world.

    Putin's Kremlin, nostalgic for the borders of the empire and the USSR, decided to collect stones in 2000. The idea itself is good and relevant to jointly confront the challenges of our time. But how did the Kremlin do it? Not through long negotiations on an equal Eurasian Community with mutual concessions, but through a policy of pressure and arm-twisting. And the Kremlin began with the Slavic peoples - Belarusians and Ukrainians. He did all sorts of things, supposedly if you don’t come under our wing - customs barriers, cordons sanitaires, closing gas valves, and other sanctions.

    What is the result? Lukashenko was somehow calmed down from kicking and left independent. Ukraine is now unlikely to look east this century, both for help and for advice. And all just to restore former borders and influence. It turned out worse than ever.

    What happened in Ukraine? The people swept away the rotten regime. He called new elections. All. No one raided Russian-speaking areas. So the Kremlin had a very strong hand in further destabilizing the situation in Ukraine. He raised the Armed Forces and sent troops into Crimea.

    SLAVS!!!

    Your opposition is TRAGEDY, SADNESS and SHAME and SHAME, SADNESS and TRAGEDY. That Russia will disappear tomorrow, disappear without Crimea and Donbass?

    YEEES. Sadness and regret.


    Why Beck? And not Khan, Bai or Padishah? The “poison” that you throw out on others will someday destroy you as an adequate person.

    You were not surprised that as soon as Yanukovych’s maidan was demolished, GRYVNA began to STRENGTHEN.


    Yes, but at first it fell below nowhere. And she went up as soon as they said that England would dump the dough.

    I agree, this is not fatal. Moreover, now it will be possible to roll up in Sochi, they say - no worse now.)))
    It will be possible to go to Crimea, it will become ours

    Putin needs to bang his fist and declare that all conflicts in the post-Soviet space are exclusively under the jurisdiction of Russia, as the legal successor of the Soviet Union, and any interference in the affairs of the former Soviet Republics is interference in the affairs of Russia itself and is essentially an act of aggression. Stop chewing snot and talking about the “legal framework”, about “dialogue with the West”, it’s time to get up from your knees and give this West a good kick, you need to talk with friends, but these jackals only understand the language of force and there is no point in coddling with them, haven’t you already? tired of it! Catherine II said - Russia is the Universe and will do what it wants, and Europe only does what it can!

    Putin clearly laid everything out on the shelves. Except one. When asked who blocked the military unit in Crimea, the GDP responded that it was the local self-defense that bought the uniform. Well, okay, pixel, but self-defense with SVD-S riding on Tigers, excuse me. I see who is standing in my city :) In general, no one is against it, but the Banderas have already raised a squeal in the media that Putin is not telling everything. On the other hand, no troops were brought in, all were local. rather, we need a referendum so that such a presence is undeniable.

    It’s true what they say - Russia is the center of the Earth. Think about it - we have everything! Drinking water, at least drink it, fertile land is immeasurable, in the depths of the entire periodic table, and in such quantities that the whole world is just going nuts. We are probably the most self-sufficient country in the world. If there are no Fords, we will drive dozens of them; if there are no Panasonic TVs, we will watch Horizons; if there is no Gucci, we will wear suits from Red Star. HOW CAN WE BE ISOLATED? The only danger is that the higher-ups will leak us. And, as they noticed here, the valve, again, is with us.

    And what can we, Russia, put in contrast to America and Europe? Yes, essentially nothing. The rattling of weapons near the border or the launch of a ballistic missile will no longer surprise anyone. There are no accounts of Amers or Europeans in Russia that we can freeze. It is we who owe a lot of money abroad and not us who owe it. It is our ruble that depends on the dollar and not vice versa. Before starting such a (fuss) in Ukraine, we had to completely reconsider economic policy within the country and abroad. The GDP now can only shout about the violation of the agreement with Ukraine and the infringement of the Russian-speaking population, but it cannot put anything concrete in opposition to the EU on their sanctions. Stupidly, no one will let him go to storm Bendera with a bang, no matter how much he wants it. Now many will say that I am wrong, that I am a Russophobe, etc., but look reality in the eye, our country is not able to wage an open war with the West. All these sanctions will primarily affect us, ordinary citizens. The ruble has already fallen, which means prices will rise, which means there will be an order of magnitude more dissatisfied and aggressive people within the country and the authority of our government will fall even lower, which plays into the hands of the West.

    So slogans like “Russia forward, we don’t care at all” can be shouted by people with a limited worldview or people of limited intelligence who don’t care much about the consequences.

    All the foreign ministers I spoke with yesterday, including the GXNUMX, have a common view of the situation: they are going to isolate Russia and not do business with it as usual,” said the top US diplomat.

    Judging by what the US and EU are going to do, these sanctions from Washington can only be welcomed. Well, what do we, ordinary people, care about if they freeze someone’s accounts there, or restrict someone’s entry into their countries? For the most part, these are measures that every normal Russian citizen would be happy to introduce personally towards officials and oligarchs, but does not have the opportunity. Some official won’t fly to Miami to hang out once again, someone won’t have enough to buy a brand new Bentley because their account is blocked. But this is unlikely to affect bread and subway tickets. Moreover, sanctions can make the industry more authoritative and force it to find new solutions rather than buy someone else’s. We will finally buy our own carrots, not Belgian ones.
    And yet, the United States announced that it had already suspended military cooperation with Russia. Now, in response to this, Russia should cut off communications between the US and US troops in Afghanistan through its territory and liquidate the US military base in Ulyanovsk? Do Americans want this?

    But today, by the way, an article was published on Bloomberg, the article is interesting because it cites as an example the events of the Crimean War of 1854, then you see, democratic European countries punished presumptuous Russia, which attacked Turkey without any reason. The author calls to unite and give the same answer to Russian imperialism in Crimea again. Just like that, without any problems. love

      A strange example.
      At that time, Russia did not have weapons of mass destruction.
      And economic sanctions.

      In addition to everything that the forum participants have already written about, here’s something else:

      In my opinion, it’s even more profitable for us; at the same time we’ll strangle the 5th column.
      But this is not about profit, but about our brothers in Ukraine.
      It was the USA and the West that provoked all these bloody events in Ukraine, the putsch, mockingly mocking during the Olympics - “Putin won the Olympics, but lost to Ukraine,” “fork,” “zugzwang,” and so on.

    This is the Odessa channel "Academy". At present
    Kyiv put so much pressure on him that the most popular TV presenter you see on screen had to leave. Six months earlier (still under Janek), the ATV channel was closed for a far-fetched reason, because... he prepared not only anti-fascist, but anti-Yanukov materials.
