"Now the Russian army is able to snarl and provoke" - European press

January 29 2021 84

According to former Danish Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen, Russia has been able to regain its great power status over the past two decades, and this could be fearsome. To avoid aggression from Moscow, Copenhagen must rely on NATO forces.

The Russians have used their internal resources to revive their country's military power, and they compensate for shortcomings in some areas with advantages in others. Thus, the Russian fleet is not well represented in the oceans, but it has powerful combat submarines. The air force and air defense systems were also seriously modernized.

In the near abroad, they can now snap back and provoke - and this is felt in Gotland and Bornholm

- says the ex-Minister of the Danish Foreign Ministry - quoted by Berlingske.

The Russian army was able to occupy the Crimea without firing a single shot, using the means of "hybrid war", and Ukraine was unable to do anything. Similar events took place in Syria. Russia remains the country with the largest number of nuclear missiles. The START III treaty, which expires next month, remains a limiting factor in this regard.

The Kremlin has long been trying to solve internal problems by initiating aggression against neighboring countries. At the same time, the regime is now experiencing serious pressure from those dissatisfied with Putin's rule, accusing the United States of unleashing all sorts of "color revolutions". Thus, the Europeans must follow the path of a balance between dialogue with Russia and the protection of their own values.

        To whom to give and for what reason? Japanese people in the Kuril Islands and Germans living in Kaliningrad perhaps? Do not confuse warm with soft, these lands went to Soviet Russia as a result of the Second World War, and they are integral parts of the Russian Federation and Russian citizens live there

        Let's start with the territory of the Kuriles and the present Kaliningrad that went to NONE of Soviet Russia, but the USSR (there was such a state). Donbass needs not to shoot, but to negotiate! Because in my opinion, the war has not benefited ANYONE and Russia at the present time is many times not ready for conflicts than the USSR in 1941.

        And what does it mean when the USSR collapsed, it was necessary to give up the Kuriles and Kaliningrad? Even Gorbachev did not think of such a thing

        And what is the use of the Kuril Islands for Russia, exactly like the Donbass. You can continue to resist with a horn, they sold Alaska under the king's father, even though the local aborigines lived, and even now it seems.

        You better remember about your Bandera people who hanged, burned and shot old women and children, these so-called "warriors" could only fight against an unarmed civilian population, but in battles with the Red Army they were instantly defeated and scattered like cowardly rats in all directions, Then these scoundrels had to be caught for a long time, but now in Ukraine it is customary to be proud of these ghouls and bandits and glorify their so-called "heroic deeds" !!!

        No, not so.
        Russia has appointed itself the payer.
        From these payments (to the delight of creditors), it did not become a universal (full) legal successor of the USSR.
        And so legally (in the world) and remained the singular (partial) successor of the USSR (as well as 14 other post-Soviet states) and the universal (full) successor of the RSFSR.

        Claims against Ukraine.
        She did not pay the debts (the Russian Federation paid them herself out of some kind of fright), she did not even conclude an agreement on this with the Russian Federation, and now, as one of the legal successors, she is blocking the transfer of foreign property of the USSR to the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation.
        It turned out not even funny - the Russian Federation paid off the debts of the USSR, and received for this (legally) a fat from under the eggs.

        Yes, modern Russia had a good start, but why did it stop, why did it not take steps further? After all, everything was available, people who wanted changes, resources, enterprises. I didn't want to follow the American, Asian way, don't. Could the USSR in the most difficult times relying on the most valuable material - PEOPLE to do the IMPOSSIBLE! No, I do not in ANY way justify what happened in the country in the 20-30s of the last century !!! But look, isn't it a miracle that happened after the Second World War and before the 70s?

        I cannot say about the future of Russia, if it does not stop falling further than 1917, here I agree with you. Regarding people, I will not evaluate the Patriots' reasoning about the value of Western technologies before, during (thanks to her, Russia lost 30% without losing 70-80%) and after the war. Stealing is certainly disgusting, but how much money, people and other resources have been saved, I think only thanks to this the USSR lasted so long. But then the “LEADERS” had a quiet life, which continues to this day! They hope that by their theft they bought themselves a future.

        For your information, it is Russia that is legally the legal successor of the USSR,
        
        Nonsense.
        Russia considers itself the legal successor and heir of the RSFSR within the borders of 1953.
        This is what is written there in its Constitution.
        The world community does not agree with it about Crimea. The rest is not disputed by anyone.
        And the USSR has 15 legal successors.

        it was Russia that assumed all the obligations and fully paid off all international debts remaining after the collapse of the USSR
        
        Well, kinda, and thanks to her for that from the creditors.
        And nothing more.
        Some losses, in a word. And no profit.
        
        Quote: sgrabik
        it was Russia that continued to comply with all international treaties concluded by the Soviet Union in the international arena
        
        This is called a singular (partial) succession. But no one has ever argued about the fact that the Russian Federation is a partial legal successor (one of 15) of the USSR.
        And what shares there are between these partial heirs, that's another conversation.

        They do not live there, because after the war the population was expelled from these places without exception. The descendants of those who settled these areas at one time, mostly Russians, now live there. However, if we hold today a referendum in the Kaliningrad region, like the Crimean one, on joining Germany, then the majority of its Russian residents will vote FOR, and the situation is similar in South Sakhalin with the Kuriles.

        What other Ukraine? Novorossiya with Little Russia is the result of territorial disputes between Russia and Poland. And the primates that run there are only part of the local fauna and have no relation to this process. Ukrainians forgot to ask ... Never asked and will not ask. In China, baboons are a sacred animal.
        The depopulation will be finished and re-populated.

        And the hunt is to lie to you so mediocrely, presenting yourself as an unworthy person ... There is UN statistics on the number of births and deaths per 1000 citizens of each state.According to these data, an average of 1000 babies are born per 14.0 people per year in the United States and die 8.2 citizens, in France (Western Europe), respectively, 12.2 and 8.8, and in the Russian Federation for 12,6 newborns there are 13.4 deaths. Consider yourself where the process manifests itself to the greatest extent. Moreover, it should be borne in mind that these data are of past years, and depopulation in Russia is increasing every year.

According to former Danish Foreign Minister Uffe Ellemann-Jensen, Russia has been able to regain its great power status over the past two decades, and this could be fearsome.

It looks like someone is trying to bring in some kind of weapons to Denmark, but the authorities are hesitating. They may not buy. So the sellers connected the help in the person of Uffe.
Tries for a small share.
