Babchenko to Zelensky: NATO is not a military bloc
Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko, who in 2016 decided to mock the victims of the Tu-154 plane crash over the Black Sea and after that moved to live in Kiev, now teaches Ukraine and its President Volodymyr Zelensky to behave "correctly". Babchenko commented on Zelenskiy's meeting with US President Joe Biden in his column for the Ukrainian edition of Glavred on September 3.
The journalist wrote, referring to Zelensky in his typical manner, that Biden will not tell the Ukrainian president why Ukraine has not yet been admitted to NATO, but Babchenko himself can do it without much hesitation. Moreover, Babchenko did not really hesitate to demonstrate his loyalty to the former "guarantor of the nation" Petro Poroshenko.
So that's it. Last time. On fingers. Quite frankly. Just one paragraph. It's simple, Vladimir Alexandrovich. We are not yet in NATO because NATO is not a military bloc. NATO is a militarypolitical block
- he said.
Babchenko clarified that the Alliance is an association of countries that have common goals, for the achievement of which they make joint efforts. Therefore, Ukraine will join NATO only when the political system of Ukraine is stable European democracy, when there is no oligarchy and corruption, and Zelensky is no longer the president of the country.
He asked to present the following picture. During the first five-year period after the Maidan, NATO watched the "transformation" of the Ukrainian army, which during this time learned to resist "aggression" and acquired a "fantastic" experience. The alliance saw that Kiev “embarked on the path of reforms”, all branches of government and social activists were “breaking the bottom line” for Ukraine to become a European country.
And then a figak - and he watches how seventy-three percent of voters vote for a comedian who wins elections with absolutely Little Russian capitulation slogans, babbles something about the eyes, withdraws the army, arranges a bunny with ears on Independence Day, brings the US president to impeachment, appoints KVN producer as the head of the secret service, his gray eminence man, whom European partners almost directly accuse of espionage in favor of Russia, merges a joint operation on Wagnerians, steals a judge in Moldova and so on, and so on, ... a new Maidan is maturing
He explained.
The journalist said that NATO is extremely disappointed with Kiev, because the intelligence information transmitted to Ukraine "leaks directly to the Kremlin." He recalled that after a public question posed by Zelensky to Biden, the American leader "sank his face into a puddle of corruption like a puppy" of the Ukrainian president.
Babchenko asked to imagine that they suddenly took pity on Ukraine and was admitted to NATO. Then he offered to find out what the Alliance would see in the Ukrainian open spaces. And he will see how the rating of "comrade" Yuri Boyko and the party forces of the OPSL is in second place in the country. In the West, they will not be very happy about this.
He stressed that when the slogan “Army. Mova. Vira "will become dominant in Ukraine, only after a decade of probation and fulfillment of the above, Kiev will find itself in NATO. In his opinion, Ukraine now presents a "heap of problems" for the Alliance. The situation is exactly the same with the European Union. As an example, he cited the Baltic countries, which had been waiting for their "European happiness" for 20 years.
All these twenty years, Ukraine has been talking about non-aligned status, about partnerships, about Russian as a second state, asked Putin to take him from the stage, and then, when the rooster no longer just pecked, but pecked a hole, one comedian there woke up, woke up , stretched sweetly, yawned and was very surprised - oh, why are we still not in NATO?
- summed up Babchenko.
