    Honestly, Russia and the United States are also incompatible, which explains everything. No more illusions.

      All the time they are talking about the Russian economy, it’s bad, it will burst, it won’t work, but what about America itself, a soap bubble that is about to burst. Everyone is busy with situations around Russia, but they don’t say anything about themselves.

      Yes, everyone who does not comply with the interests of Russia, either they are us or we are!

      And who will determine the guilty person and the degree of his guilt? These are the slogans from the series:
      "Hurray! Traitors to the wall! Give decimation in Ukraine! Give Kiev! Our ankle boots will trample the ground of Pendostan!"

      Let's be more serious ...

    Interestingly, intelligence gives interviews in the camp of the enemy! Horror! In fact, we can conclude that in order to relax the United States in Ukraine, it is necessary to create problems on the other flank. For example, to supply Iran, Syria and other promising US governments with modern air defense systems and anti-ship systems. As a result, it is possible, as during the Caribbean crisis, that the United States will have a desire to talk productively and take into account other people's interests. Only the threat of unacceptable losses will set them on the right path.

    Well, for this, the guy did not have to go to Russia, and so everything is clear. I traveled with someone to talk, we must look whose slave will and from here draw conclusions.

    The most important thing is said in the interview. States do not want to weaken their own and build up our influence. Well. The states will have to make room .... angry

    All of them are such Western politicians, political scientists and other experts: "I started for health, and ended for peace."
    He offers us, zayets, to compromise with the USA on the terms of the USA. at the same time, pay attention that I have never mentioned America itself, about why they climb into the Middle East, where it’s slippery without snotty ones, and does the American establishment really have the strength and resources to pursue its eternally aggressive policy.
    But once he rolled over to us, then all of this is not so much.

      At least he is trying to understand us. Naturally, looking from his corner.

    Against this background, I do not consider the Ukrainian situation (when one part of the country seeks rapprochement with the EU, and the other gravitates toward Russia) as something completely unique. The Ukrainian situation fits into the centrifugal trends that we have been observing in Europe for some time
    I'd like to see the attraction of Texas to Mexico, and of Alaska to its historical homeland. And of course Louisiana to Africa laughing

    We do not have any interests in Ukraine. Since there is no, at the "gene" level, the concept of Ukraine, in the form in which the West has been diligently presenting us for the last 100 years especially, systematically. All reflections in the article refer to the "project Ukraine", and not native Ukraine, in the "consanguineous" concept of this part of Russia!
    Interests, left around the corner, for three!
    A sense of justice, Truth, does not tolerate political interests!

    The essence of his analysis, America has steered and will steer the world.
    Many dreamed about it, but so far America has succeeded. How long will this go on? This is a big question.
    Judging by what they brought to the World over the past 25 years (excluding Hiroshima), they are not destined to hold their leadership positions for a long time.
    The world is already sufficiently electrified and Russia's actions to eliminate unipolarity,
    causes discontent with the presence of fear in the "Master of the World". Having tasted the sweetness of "exceptionality", they will resort to any meanness to remove the troublemaker from the road. Whether they will succeed or not will depend on the number of those who support the idea of ​​a multipolar world.

    I predicted three years ago in one of my books that as soon as Russia begins to gain strength and demonstrate its strength, a crisis will occur in Ukraine. It was obvious.

    Well, that's dotted over the "i". What we are constantly repeating - there would be no Transnistria, South Ossetia, Crimea and Donbass, there would still be Ukraine, and in the future Belarus. The states need these territories for their ABM and SRM missiles. It's as simple as a cucumber. bully

    Friedman correctly noted the reason for the weakness of our liberal economy, "driven into a raw material corner" by Western liberals: "The fall in oil prices was inevitable. What else did you expect? But you have built your economic strategy, focusing not only on high oil prices, but generally on energy exports. This made you vulnerable! You had to use the last 10-15 years of high revenues from the sale of energy resources to diversify the economy, but your authorities have not done this "

      The fall in oil prices after what? After its not completely clear jump? They began to increase production volumes in order to grab more, so they got what they got. Or was it not known in advance that the largest buyer of US oil is switching to its production? One positive thing is that from free prices in Russia they created a development fund (stash).

    In Washington, many got the impression that the Russians want to destabilize the already unstable US position in the Middle East - in a region that is key to America

    Everything is short and clear.
    I have returned to the heading of the article. No: that's right - American.
    But some wrong. Red is red, blue is blue. Demolition of templates.

    The conclusion suggests itself from the interview: Obama is a black sheep who simply can’t act otherwise than he does, in Russia ...

    There is no interesting thing, everything that Friedman said is clear to the student, but how it is served, from a high position, strangled not by a military race, so economic, only Friedman does not know that the Russians are not giving up

    It seems like the message is not new.
    So the words repeated by me will not be new.
    Reiteration...
    Did this Semit say something new?
    No.
    Something smart?
    No.
    To the author of the article: nothing more to write about?
    Or is there not enough imagination?
    How much can you promote overseas stupidity?
    Foreign ambitions?
    And often outright mockery?
    Ask me, author, I’m telling you, you’re throwing so many of our ideas.)))

    Well, he said something useful anyway. The fact that the states are systematically and persistently bending their line of world hegemon. And Russia is playing giveaway, then "I will tear everyone." It would be desirable to bring all the politicians of the Russian Federation leading to the weakening of their country to account. At least for the memory of history.

    we have at least one tangible commodity in the form of oil and gas, and the United States has the only commodity cut paper, called the dollar.

    Friedman is worth listening to. He is right in what he said about our dependence on energy exports. But he is also cunning. I came to Russia in order to understand it. Read the article "Understanding Russia to Kill It". It's a funny thing.
