Expert: Putin and Lukashenko will no longer be able to play hockey as if nothing had happened

August 3 2020 20

Having made the decision to detain Russian citizens who were declared to be mercenaries of PMC "Wagner", the Belarusian leader made a strategic mistake, crossing a certain line in relations between the two countries. So, what is next? Thinks about it political columnist Sergei Strokan - his opinion is reported by the newspaper Kommersant.

Lukashenka actually took the Russians as political hostages, which no one in the world would dare to do. Therefore, it is very difficult to imagine a turn towards a "bad world" in relations between Minsk and Moscow. In fact, "Father" started an undeclared war with Putin. The friendship between the two leaders also came to naught because of the fatigue of the Russian authorities from the whims of Lukashenka - for this reason, the Kremlin could try to carry out a "color" revolution with the "Western ally".

In Strokan's opinion, Lukashenka in this case wants to achieve two goals at once. First, raise rates in future economic and political bargaining with Moscow - they say, after the elections, it will not go anywhere. Secondly, the head of Belarus is hinting to Western leaders that he is not at all a loyal satellite to Russia and is capable of playing his own games. And if the Russian Federation plans to remove him, he is surrounded by the halo of the victim, so you can do business with him.

The President of Belarus has crossed the line, and it will not be easy to turn back now. Now it is difficult to imagine how, after all this, Putin and Lukashenko will again play hockey as if nothing had happened. No, we don't need this kind of hockey!

- the expert believes.

A columnist with a Zapadenskoy surname, of course, can do whatever he wants to "talk."
But in vain, like the Kiev Maydauns, he ascribes to Russia the "implementation of" color revolutions "!

"Color revolutions" are the exclusive prerogative of the United States and its vassal NATO "Common Europe"!

PS If the Russian authorities had at least a little head thought and REALLY WORK (at least with the beginning of the presidency of V.V. Putin!) In the direction of forming an adequate friendly environment and allies of their Russian Federation, then malicious Washington would hardly have got its anti-Russian "Anaconda's loop" and the current seizure of Russian citizens by amero by groveling Belarusian "hockey players" would not have happened!
Uncontrollably, only under crafty "promises", subsidizing allegedly "pro-Russian" politicians is a strategic mistake - "eternal RAKE" of the Russian authorities, on which they tirelessly dance!

  Well, any whim at the expense of taxpayers. Here recently a blogger expressed one idea about how to create a civil society in the Russian Federation in six months - you just need to adopt a law according to which not the employer, but the employee, will have to deduct taxes. And then the workers will have a MASS of questions. That is why, and not because of the "administrative difficulties", such a law will never be adopted, and the dancing will continue ...

    A very interesting idea about creating an active civil society of conscientious taxpayers!
    After all, continuous feedback between the authorities and the people has long been necessary, because will reduce the blatant irresponsibility of those in power!

      So what's the deal?
      It is necessary to introduce an additional and voluntary tax for "members of civil society." Let them expel him and demand a report on him.

        tax for "members of civil society"
        
        If you mean 22% of those who voted against the amendments to the Constitution, then soon it will be at least technically possible - an experiment on electronic voting was carried out not for the sake of an experiment, but with an eye to further implementation. Voters are authorized on the portal of public services, so if there is a desire to identify "members of civil society" it will not be difficult.

        History shows that dictatorships do not tolerate dissent, whether African or "last European." That is why (in order to preserve statehood by preventing "internal repressions"), different states are introducing norms similar to our article 7 67-FZ "On the basic guarantees of electoral rights and the right to participate in a referendum of citizens of the Russian Federation."

        I'll tell you more - in all the laws of all countries something like the right of citizens to privacy of correspondence, negotiations, etc. is written down.
        This did not prevent the United States from operating the Echelon system since the middle of the last century, which intercepted all telephone conversations on the planet.

        Evidence "by contradiction" in one question: why did the RF want to block the "Telegram"?
        So there is anonymity (and is easily ensured by encryption), albeit for third parties, not developers. It's just that someone really wants you to think that you have no choice (at least about the elections, at least about the laws adopted by the "elect"). Here is an opinion on the submission of the "concept of sustainable development" to the UN by the analytical center of the government of the Russian Federation - read it if you have the desire and time, it is very informative, and sometimes even creepy:

        On the same site, there are often articles about digitalization and about "digitalizers".
        While people on TV are being distracted by the "Americans with their echelon systems" - a lot of things can be done on the sly.

    The idea is just great. It turns out that everything is simple. Now it will not be Gazprom that will pay the tax, but Miller from his salary, Sechin instead of Rosneft. Here we will live! Don't you think that in this civil society you and a blogger will end up smoking bamboo?
    If you mean 13% of personal income tax, they say, people will see how much they deduct and start asking officials where taxes are going, then I must disappoint you. In addition to personal income tax, there are still many taxes that citizens do not pay, moreover, the share of personal income tax is not so huge. I don't remember the exact data, but I won't be mistaken if I say that this is no more than 17% of all tax collections.
    
    Types of taxes and fees.

      Perhaps, but we are now talking about taxpayers. 13% x 12 months - one and a half salary per year. This in itself is significant, but there are also other taxes, including indirect ones (VAT, for example). Thanks for the link - very clearly.

        I'm afraid this is your problem too. More difficult to administer means more expenses, more staff, new software, it will be more difficult to collect taxes, therefore, less money will come in, and so on. Actually, it's a rather strange position, you are going to take an active part in the process of distributing finances and immediately state that this is not your problem.
        
        Not immediately, but as the officials are "educated" by conscientious citizens. It is now they are recorded in the "1,5% of the crazy", and the phenomenon will be ubiquitous.
        
        Who is stopping you from doing this now? Or do you want some abstract active citizens to appear who will be "choked by a toad" for the taxes paid and they will educate officials as they should?
        Not your problem again?
        
        This is what I mean - the disciplining effect. Mutually beneficial for both taxpayers and the state, mind you, with proper administration.
        
        Mutually beneficial? See the paragraph above, costs will rise, taxpayers will begin to deal with distribution closely, and this will take time, which means it will be distracted from other matters. What is the benefit? Moreover, not all active citizens understand finance, what they will start to advise and demand there - can you imagine?
        
        Perhaps, but we are now talking about taxpayers. 13% x 12 months - one and a half salary per year. This in itself is significant, but there are also other taxes, including indirect ones (VAT, for example).
        
        So I'm talking about them, do you think VAT changes the picture a lot? Do you know what it looks like? You go to a barrel of money, throw in your 5 kopecks and start screaming with foam at the mouth - I pay taxes, I know how, where and how much to spend. Don't you think it is reasonable to take into account the interests of other taxpayers who contributed much more to the "common pot"? And so you turn into the same officials, now you want to distribute other people's money. On a voluntary basis for now, but for now, at the next stage you will want to receive money for this, because you are wasting time on this. Who will be in this "asset"? Who is more impudent (more active), he is at the "trough". In fact, you want to introduce the institution of commissars or return party control of the Soviet era. People who do not understand anything about this will begin to distribute finances.
        
        I am confident that the "dancing" will continue regardless of who is "at the helm" - simply because you cannot please everyone. Someone thinks subsidizing Belarus is inappropriate ("dancing"), while others do not.
        
        That's right, you can't please everyone, can you imagine what it will turn into? I hope it won't come to gunfights.
        
        Both those and others have the right to consider as they please and they have a ghostly chance to change the paradigm every 5 (6) years by their will.

        I believe that the main problem here is how the party communicates with people. We talk little and boringly about what we have done. We explain poorly what and why we are going to do it. And we too rarely give people the opportunity to declare their position on party platforms. So that they are convinced that their opinion is heard by United Russia, and their interests are really protected. That is why we are closely working on updating United Russia. First of all, in areas that previously received little attention. This is support for civil initiatives, digitalization of the party, recruitment.

Only broadly in relation to the execution of the budget (at least in terms of national projects and "social networks") and instead of the ONF, let "conscientious citizens" get involved and they should be heard. For each payment, there is no need for a utopia - a small sample is checked in all large arrays (even products, even the results of something), on the basis of which a conclusion is made about the quality of the entire "batch".

A number of signs (TIN in the form of a picture, date of registration of the site, etc., the presence of several sites with the same typo) indicated that scammers were working. Using the Who is service, I found out that the ip-addresses of the sites belong to a company registered in Moscow. I wrote a letter to this company (received thanks for vigilance) and a statement through the electronic reception service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Moscow. Three (two?) Weeks later I received an answer from the Ministry of Internal Affairs - the policeman who was handling my appeal, instead of checking the factual information indicated in the application, asked me to identify myself - who I am, what I am, where I live, a phone number (apparently, an electronic application form it was not provided ) write a statement by hand in the form sent by him, sign it, scan it and send it to him. How important speed is in investigating "cybercrimes", I think, there is no need to explain. During this time, most sites simply "moved" to other addresses and changed their names - there was nothing to investigate. Do you think I played a dirty trick on this policeman - made his life difficult? How did you "do nothing" - can you tell?

Putin and Lukashenko shouldn't have played hockey for a long time. Nobody remembers what Lukashenka said from 2014?

Those who fight against Ukrainians must be destroyed

The Internet remembers everything. But for some reason people forget. When Belarus, following the example of Ukraine, sets off in the direction of the EU, then maybe we'll find out how much money Russia has poured into its "ally."
The axiom that an ally should be paid has always been relevant. Lukashenka knows only the word "pay" from this phrase. And Russia should have remembered for a long time that the ALLY had to be paid.
Nothing happened. It's just that in the last year or two, Russia has concluded that Belarus is not an ally. It's time to close the trough.

1) The expert accuses Putin: "there can be a" color "revolution."
2) Like they quarreled, and they won't play hockey.

And if not, and they play something (as, for example, Putin offered the ISIS accomplice La Erdogan to buy the Su-57, not to mention the S-400), then the expert will bear responsibility ???
