Kremlin's strategic mistake?
This line is reflected in the Minsk protocols, and in the speeches of Lavrov at the UN General Assembly, and at numerous press conferences of representatives of the Russian "power vertical". It is significant that the president himself remains silent in this verbal war, since, apparently, he also wants to preserve the "peace", even more than that, to restore some constructive interaction with the "western partners". The political leadership of Russia could not understand that Washington, and with it the whole of NATO Europe, took the course of inflicting a full-scale defeat of Russia in Ukraine. And this will find expression in the second, more prepared attack of the Kiev junta on Novorossia.
Speech by Barack Obama at the 69 session of the UN General Assembly 24 September, a joint statement by the G7 seven foreign ministers 25 September, violations of the Kiev junta truce in Ukraine, unrest in Hong Kong and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region of China, revitalization of the Islamic Caliphate in the Middle East with threats against Russia, - all these pieces of the mosaic are gradually forming a coherent and dangerous picture. It is even more disturbing that no adequate response to these actions by the West from Moscow, and, especially, Beijing has not yet been observed. As if nothing had happened, spacecraft with Russian and American cosmonauts take off to the ISS, our gas and oil flow into Europe, and the money for Russian resources continues to “spin” by hook and crook in the Western economy. From Russia, “pacifying” signals are being sent to the “Washington Regional Committee” and its European branches, and the stronger they are, the more “weaker” are the US and its allies in the international arena. It is possible that the whole Kremlin’s “peace plan” implies a different scenario than unconditional surrender to the victor’s mercy, but the window of opportunity for its realization is catastrophically shrinking with each passing day, Russia's positions are becoming less strong in the international arena, and the political and the socio-economic situation in our country is slowly but steadily destabilizing. The Americans strike each of their new blows in the “hybrid” war against Russia only after they are convinced that the previous one had achieved the goal and there was no smashing answer to it. Here, inevitably, Gorbachev is recalled with his "new political thinking", the essence of which was to surrender everything and everyone for the sake of "peace on earth." What came of this is known. Almost the same thing that happened in the 30 of the last century with the "pacification" of Hitler's Third Reich.
So it turns out that so far the most tough and frank assessment of the actions of the "Obama team" is given by his political opponents in the United States, for whom this criticism is an integral part of the preparations for the November 4 congressional elections in November 2014 and for the presidential elections 2016.
"It is absolutely inconceivable to observe how the President of the United States confronts the whole world and speaks blatant lies that everyone sees while simultaneously demonstrating double standards and the belief that Washington has the right to violate all laws because of the exclusivity and irreplaceability of the United States. It is even more inconceivable that no one I did not get up from those present and did not leave the meeting. The diplomats sat and listened to this blatant lie ... They even applauded as a sign of support! " - such an assessment of the 40 minute speech by Barack Obama at the UN was given by the ultra-Republican Paul Roberts.
As you know, there is no more blatant lie than a half-truth. The half-truth "from Barack Obama" - in particular, on the Ukrainian issue - was this: "When Ukrainians mobilized public protest and called for reforms, the corrupt president fled. The Crimea was annexed, contrary to the will of the government in Kiev. Russia pumped weapon in eastern Ukraine, supporting the separatists and the conflict that killed thousands. When the plane was shot down from the territories controlled by these proxy structures, for many days they refused to give access to the crash site. And when Ukraine began to regain control of its territories, Russia stopped creating the appearance of simply supporting the separatists and sent in troops. "
The second part of the truth, about which Obama was silent, is that:
- "mobilization of public protest" in Ukraine in the form of "euromaidan" was carried out by the US State Department and special services, as well as their agents in the government of Yanukovych and "non-state organizations" of neo-Nazi persuasion;
- “Ukraine’s corrupt president” fled not because “Ukrainians called for reforms”, but under tough pressure from the United States and their European allies who helped carry out the February 21 coup d'état of 22, while the candidacies of those “Maidan leaders” “which became part of the new“ government of Ukraine ”were actually approved by the US State Department (see Victoria Nuland’s negotiations with the US Ambassador to Kiev, Jeffrey Payette);
- “the conflict that killed thousands” was unleashed by the new “government in Kiev”, which looked through all the crimes of the “Maidan” militants, but used the army against the first peaceful protests of residents of the south-east of Ukraine who disagreed with the neo-Nazi massacre;
- Malaysian "Boying" was not shot down by a rocket from territories controlled by "pro-Russian separatists", - all objective evidence suggests that this tragedy was organized and carried out by Western intelligence services as the "second series" of September 11 terrorist attacks of the year "(the same Paul Roberts writes about it like this: "The whole world knows that Washington ... refuses to submit photos of the destruction of the Malaysian airliner, that Ukraine refuses to provide instructions to air traffic controllers who were given to the liner, that Washington is hindering the real IAOD that European experts have pointed to the bullet holes in the skin of the aircraft is not provided with any explanation why the Ukrainian fighter jets chased the plane, following the instructions Ukrainian air traffic controllers. ");
- Finally, Russia did not enter its troops not the territory of Ukraine.
The US allies were quick to express their solidarity with Obama, literally the day after his speech, signing a joint statement stating: “Russia must immediately fulfill its obligations under the Minsk Agreement, including the withdrawal of all its troops, weapons and equipment from Ukraine, the border between the two countries, when monitored by the OSCE, and ensuring the release of all hostages. Russia must also ensure that all commitments under the Minsk Agreement and the lzhenie political process in Ukraine ... We reiterate our condemnation of the illegal attempt by Russia to annex Crimea ". In this regard, it is worth noting that "the withdrawal from Ukraine of all its troops, weapons and equipment" means for the West complete Russian evacuation from the Crimea as well.
"In recent weeks, we have introduced a number of additional agreed sanctions against Russia. Sanctions are not an end in themselves, but they can be revoked only if Russia fulfills its cease-fire obligations and the Minsk Agreement and respects Ukraine’s sovereignty. Otherwise we are still ready to make Russia pay even more for non-fulfillment of obligations, ”the document says.
How did our country, publicly accused from the UN rostrum in all mortal sins and set before the ultimatum about the actual surrender, respond to this? At least at the diplomatic level? The speech of Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on September 27 was maintained in the same conciliatory tone: they say that the relations between Moscow and Washington need a “second reset”, we are striving for dialogue and we keep it even in the present, “very truncated and shortened form”, we interested in normalizing relations, although we did not destroy them, and so on.
In support of this position, an agreement was reached in Berlin, according to which Russian gas deliveries in the amount of 5 billion cubic meters to the territory of Ukraine should be resumed without any guarantees of payment for these supplies by the Kiev junta, but in exchange for promising payment of past debts. "We will not let the Ukrainians freeze!" - triumphantly commented on this news Barack Obama. Meanwhile, under the flag of the "Minsk truce" over 650, the military personnel of Ukraine and those who arrived on its territory "to participate in the exercises" of NATO special forces with the support of artillery and heavy equipment that beat "on the squares", that is, in residential quarters, broke through to Donetsk airport blocked by militias . Neo-Nazi terror will be spread over the territory of the South-East, which until now has "remained aloof" from the conflict - the example of Kharkov is evidence of this. The inevitable resumption of hostilities will take place in much less favorable conditions for the army of New Russia than it was before the armistice.
In other words, restoring the “dokrymsky” status quo in the international arena is impossible. Russia was chosen as another victim of the West not at all because of the events in Ukraine - on the contrary, the events in Ukraine were provoked by the West in order to strike at Russia. Because the campaign around “violations of the rights of sexual minorities”, “violations of children's rights for adoption” and other “tolerant” husks could not be a reason for such a blow and were used as a “warm-up” of anti-Russian sentiments in Western society.
The March of Peace 21 September was clearly timed to the arrival in Moscow of the new American Ambassador John Tefft, was a kind of "parade of the pro-American opposition" - a show of strength for all those who are ready to build personal and corporate well-being on the ruins of a national catastrophe. Compare with Obama's speech the advance of the "round table" of the opposition and the resolution of the "peace march" published on the Internet, stating:
- that the political leadership of Russia is carrying out criminal aggression against a neighboring sovereign state, i.e. Ukraine;
- that this aggression became possible as a result of the dishonest and unfree elections of 2011 – 2012, which resulted in Putin and his entourage concentrating enormous uncontrolled power, both executive, legislative and judicial;
- that in Russia the fascist-type regime is rapidly forming;
- that Russia should withdraw its troops from the territory of Ukraine (including the Crimea? - auth.) And stop propaganda, material and military support to the separatists in the South-East of Ukraine;
- that a criminal investigation into the facts of unlawful coercion by the Russian authorities of Russian military personnel to take part in hostilities in the South-East of Ukraine, which has led to many of them to serious injuries and even death, is required;
- that “it is necessary to stop the lies and propaganda hysteria on federal TV channels, stop defamation and persecution of citizens who publicly condemn the aggression in Ukraine and the annexation of Crimea as a“ fifth column ”, give them the opportunity to freely express and defend their point of view in the media”;
- that it is necessary to cancel the anti-sanction measures, which caused a sharp rise in food prices, limited the rights of citizens to their consumer choice;
- that the trade and gas war against Ukraine should be stopped, and all the organizers of the above actions should be brought under investigation and trial.
Is it not clear that all of this - links of one chain, that any hopes of the virtual "peace party with the West" in the Kremlin are compromised in a compromise, that "crawling away," like Gorbachev after 1991, will not be given to anyone of the current "power vertical" that the cup of shame and betrayal will force to drink to the bottom? What are the current Russian president and allies preparing the fate of Muammar Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein and Slobodan Milosevic?
Is it not clear that we have a dilemma: either surrender, or the path of continuous concessions with complete defeat at the end?
Is there a way out of this situation? Yes, there is, and very simple. We must uncover all the lies of Obama and Co., we must not tie the hands of the army of Novorossiya, but support it in resisting ukronatsizmu, declaring this from the same UN rostrum, created thanks to the victory of the United Nations in World War II. It is necessary to warn Europe that any new step taken against Russia, either of their own accord or under US pressure, will be considered as a force majeure situation that prevents full-fledged cooperation, primarily in the energy sector. Finally, we need to appeal to the people of Ukraine, where all things need to be called by their names: the fascist-nationalist coup - the fascist-nationalist coup, the participation of the Kiev junta in the "hybrid" war of the West against Russia - the participation of the Kiev junta in the "hybrid" war of the West against Russia, with all the ensuing consequences. Of course, we need to get out of the “Washington consensus” and its associated model of an oligarchic-raw materials economy. Of course, Russia needs to build a society of social justice and progress. Because with the current socio-economic and ideological-political "foundation", we cannot win a "hybrid" war against the West. This, in fact, is what western geostrategies are counting on. This is their main calculation, and it must be overthrown in the first place. Otherwise, the "dashing nineties" will seem to all of us children's games in the sandbox - a defeat in the current "hybrid war" will most likely put an end to the existence of Russia, the Russian people and other peoples of our country, the Russian civilization and the Russian state.
So, the Russian public is waiting, first of all, for a new Munich speech from its commander-in-chief, where all the points will be placed over "and" with regard to the unfolding US aggression, the Russian public is waiting for a cardinal cleansing of all structures from the "pro-Western agents" and, above all, from the financial block of the cabinet ministers, the Russian public is waiting for retaliation against the Kiev fascist junta and victory, which will stop the neo-Nazi revenge of the revision of the results of the Great Patriotic War.
