The European Union is waiting for the fate of the USSR?

Network newspaper Znak.com published a large telephone interview that the correspondent Alexander Zadorozhny took from an international journalist Vitaly Tretyakov.
Tretyakov - General Director and Editor-in-Chief of the Independent Publishing Group, Editor-in-Chief of the Political Class magazine, Moskovskie weekly news". He is the author of more than 2500 articles in various collections and major Russian and foreign publications.
According to Vitaly Tretyakov, by the time of the Kiev coup d'etat, "the Americans had already crossed out" Russia "from the list of geopolitical competitors." The main foreign policy task of America, reminds the expert, is to prevent the challenging of the US hegemony on the planet. And if such a "dispute" arises, the United States destabilizes a potential competitor "from the outside and from within, up to surrender, and even collapse and disappearance." “In previous years, the Americans did not set such a task,” the analyst notes, “but during Putin’s third presidential term, it became clear that our country had chosen and pursued an independent course, and then the American containment policy moved from the field of abstraction to a practical plane.”
Geopolitical competitors used the return of the Crimea to the bosom of Russia as a pretext for upholding the “benefits America”. To observe the benefits of the United States is the “work” of the American president. "Exactly the same job and our president," said the expert.
As for the NATO forces in Europe (after all, Kiev for good reason refused the non-aligned status of Ukraine), “there is no NATO: it’s ridiculous to talk about the combat capability of the Europeans, they are not real military opponents of Russia,” said Tretyakov. And there is this:
The West is not going to fight with Russia: “... for this you need to be a suicide, there are no such idiots in the West”. The goal of the West is to weaken Russia as much as possible as a geopolitical rival. Ways of weakening: military-political, economic pressure, propaganda rhetoric. In addition, the West has managed to “drive us into a spiral of ruinous arms race, in order to force us to reduce social spending to the maximum, in order to cause discontent among the masses, a riot”.
According to Tretyakov, Russia is one of the most successful states on the planet. The standard of living or exchange rate "may fluctuate, but all this is temporary." “On the whole, on the historical scale, a state that has existed for a thousand years cannot be successful, and since 1480, with the deliverance from the Horde yoke, has never lost its independence,” the analyst notes.
Next, the expert moves to the geopolitical cohabitation of Europe and the USA. In this game it is clear who the boss is: “... The European Union, as you know, fought for the liberation of Tymoshenko. This was one of the main conditions for the conclusion of an agreement between Ukraine and the EU. Europeans put on Tymoshenko and more on Klitschko. Tymoshenko received nothing at all. Where is she now? Klitschko cost the post of Kiev mayor. Why? Because the Americans, against the will of the Europeans, put on Poroshenko and cut off: "No, this will be here." Poroshenko was elected president with falsifications, manipulations, but it was not important, because - and this is the main thing - the Americans wanted it so much. ”
According to the expert, the dispute over “who will be president” was “not between the Ukrainian people and Washington, but between Berlin and Washington”. The Ukrainian people do not matter: “Everything is long overdue. Even under Yanukovych (not to mention the other Ukrainian presidents), despite the official non-aligned status, NATO constantly conducted exercises on the territory of Ukraine. ”
What is Europe's position in the conflict with Russia?
In Europe, there is a political struggle, and the positions are different. For example, in Germany, Merkel is a member of the Christian Democratic Union, while Gabriel and Steinmeier belong to the Social Democratic Party.
In addition, the West made a series of mistakes, trying to drag Ukraine into NATO. And these mistakes in Europe are not willing to admit.
According to Tretyakov, "European politicians and oligarchs, the real owners of Europe, its wealth, understood that the project of the European Union had come to an end." However, they "cannot recognize it publicly, but begin to gradually dismantle it." In addition, the project owners need to "during dismantling, control and pan-European order should be maintained." Americans are also interested in this.
Regarding the situation in the east of Ukraine, the “blatant accusations against Russia” are part of the distracting maneuvers, “camouflage”, convenient for Western politicians. “Behind this hype, you can quietly, calmly, in secret from the general public, implement your plans,” says the journalist. Otherwise, the press would ask questions: what is happening with the EU?
Meanwhile, Russia is recovering:
And another great quote:
Thus, we will add on our own, the Ukrainian crisis has become a kind of convenient screen for the incipient collapse of the European Union. However, the cause of the Ukrainian crisis is the erroneous actions of Western politicians, primarily Obama and Merkel. These actions can be characterized by the proverb "Hurry - make people laugh." True, there is little funny, because in Ukraine blood is shed and houses are destroyed. But the West is extremely cynical. And he knows how to close his eyes in time.
Expert rights: The West will never admit their mistakes. For politicians, self-criticism does not exist. If sages had ruled countries in the world, as Comrade Plato from Ancient Greece had dreamed of, it would probably have been different. But mediocrity rules — the henchmen of the so-called "elites", and their lot is to flood the planet with blood in the name of "democracy." They will not stop, even if Ukraine, whose sovereignty and “integrity” the West values so much, will fall apart. All states, on whose territory either a soldier’s boots or a Western diplomatic boot set foot, sooner or later fall apart. It was not on the world map of the USSR, Yugoslavia collapsed, Sudan split into two, Libya and Iraq are wandering. Unenviable fate awaits Syria. Ukraine will not be an exception.
But together with Ukraine, the European Union is cracking at the seams. Greece can be the first sign, but we'll see.
