BI: Russia has already proved that it is ready by all means to prevent Ukraine from joining the West

November 28, 2021 56

Moscow fears that Ukraine's accession to NATO will lead to the deployment of US and Alliance troops in close proximity to the European part of Russia. This affects the vital, strategic interests of the Russian Federation and the Russians will do everything necessary to prevent such a development of events, including direct military intervention, writes Sascha Glaeser, a columnist for Business Insider.

Since Moscow is already at war in the Donbass, Kiev's accession to NATO could lead to disaster. The Alliance's collective defense clause will require the United States and other allies to militaryly defend Ukraine

- notes the author.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has made it clear that Kiev's accession to NATO is the crossing of the "red line". Is US President Joe Biden ready to send Americans to die for Ukraine? It is obvious that Washington, while continuing to provide Kiev with quasi-security guarantees, is playing a dangerous game, fraught with a real war with a nuclear superpower. Moreover, US military aid and false hopes that NATO will defend Kiev only prolong the conflict in Donbas, increasing the risk of a direct clash between the United States and Russia. Thus, policy The White House is not only counterproductive, but dangerous for Americans.

Given the risk of nuclear escalation, the Biden administration must honestly assess whether starting World War III over a territory of little importance to US security

- emphasized the expert on international security and transatlantic relations.

Russia has already proved that it is ready by all means to prevent Ukraine from joining the West. Significant monetary and human costs will not be an obstacle to this. Moscow simply has nowhere else to retreat. Therefore, there is no need to drive her into a desperate situation. Moreover, unlike Russia, the United States simply does not have a sufficiently large interest in Ukraine, because of which it is worth risking so much.

Ending the conflict in Donbass will require a comprehensive political settlement that takes into account the geopolitical concerns of the Russian Federation. A peaceful solution to the conflict should lead to the restoration of the territorial sovereignty of Ukraine and the positioning of the Ukrainian state as a neutral buffer country, not connected with either Russia or the West. Neutral Ukraine will not seek to join NATO or the military structures of the Russian Federation and will not allow either side to deploy armed forces on its territory. This will enable Russia and the United States to build a stable and predictable relationship.

  After 1991, Russia and Ukraine are different states. You can’t lose what you don’t have. The fact that the prancing swineherds mutilated and ruined their own country is their problem.

    This is an indicator of the shortsightedness of the Soviet and Russian leadership. The Russian leadership was unable to offer its population for 30 years an attractive model of economic and social development, youth policy, ethnic policy. That repelled Ukrainians from Russia, and most importantly Ukrainian youth. She fled to Germany, to the Netherlands. , to Belgium, to Portugal, to Greece, to Poland, to Estonia, to Finland, to Norway. But not to Russia. Now, thanks to the failures of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Ukrainian territory is turning into a springboard for NATO, its special services, intelligence centers, bases. Such proximity to Russian defense and industrial centers drastically reduces NATO's need for medium-range missiles, strategic and long-range aviation. NATO received tens of thousands of cheap motivated natives for nothing, motivated by anti-Russian. The KChF lost the opportunity to repair its ships and vessels at the Nikolaev Association. The Russian Defense Ministry is forced to spend money on creating connection of light forces on the Sea of Azov, hairstyle m on the most inconvenient shallow part, lacking adequate PMO and aviation.

      What about the foresight of the Ukrainian leadership? It suggested that people not flee the Ruins? And they run everywhere, including to us. Why should the Russian leadership offer something to the population of another country? What kind of position is this? Are you standing on panel and waiting for someone to offer more?

      You are crazy What need for medium-range missiles does it reduce? There are no missiles there. The Nikolaev plant is in ruins, what is there to repair? The shipbuilding industry in Crimea is developing and modernizing, it covers the needs for repairing the CH. What is it forced to create in the Sea of Azov? Doesn't Russia have adequate air defense and aviation?

    The essence of the claims is not clear
    Firstly, if we are talking about Crimea, then we "quote the classics"
    
    The rights of Russia are only within the limits of its state border.
    
    And since the border runs along the outer perimeter of Crimea, this is it.
    Second, what does Crimea have to do with it? It's more about putting things in order in the wild field. If anything, the next jumps and tire smoke extinguishers are scheduled for December.
    The task of Russia is to prevent the escalation of the conflict, to prevent the appearance of destructive elements there. Gangs of nationalists or NATO units, which, however, are not very different.
    So it’s about a humanitarian mission. Hanging the Ruin around the neck of the Russian budget is hardly reasonable.

      Life in the villages of the LDNR is complete poverty, there is no medical care, no delivery of goods to the front-line villages, no subsidies, no coal for the miners' families for the winter. That is, for the villagers, returning to Ukraine is a return to normal life. Oligarch Malofeev lit a fire with the hands of Girkin Strelkov and threw it as it is. And the civilians of the LDNR have been suffering for more than 7 years. Russia does not recognize the LDNR as its territory, getting off with humanitarian aid. Now there is a real ghetto, with a steep salary of the militia in 17 thousand rubles with combat.

    This is not a correct comparison, and no one has canceled Russia's geo-political interests yet, and no one has the right to cancel them, while indicating what and how Russia should do.

  Russia's right is not backed up by a resource-based economy and a decrepit Armed Forces.

    And what are your rights supported by? No economy and no armed forces, not even decrepit, but already lying in intensive care in a coma for a long time?

        This is amazing. Would go to (on) "to normal life." Why are you vegetating in dreams here?

And what was the department of Mr. Lavrov doing in 2013-2014, when Ukraine rushed to float freely?
And what are the ambitions to establish order in an independent country? Why is Moscow satisfied with the presence of Turkish troops in Azerbaijan (NATO, by the way), while NATO in Ukraine is so exciting?

  Lavrov also created a Russian-Turkish observation center and made it easier for the Turkish military intelligence to control its South. Tsarist, Soviet diplomats and generals would swell from such a surprise and over-tolerance.

I don’t know what Putin has proved to whom. In my opinion, he’s in the bunker, sniffing the vaccine, lying unconscious. For in the minds of doing what is happening with the country is a crime of the highest order.

Here Russia is in its own right. He can do whatever he wants in the area of his interests.
Whoever does not agree, let him go to smash the Australian embassy.

The rights of Russia are only within the limits of its state border. And the comparison with Australia is incorrect - the Australians are not going to annex the Solomon Islands as the Russian Federation annexed the Crimea.

Or how Izratl takes over the Palestinian territories and the Syrian Gollans

In the battle for this bridgehead, NATO wins, and the Russian Foreign Ministry loses

If the Russian Foreign Ministry had single-handedly defeated NATO, it would have been too much even for Lavrov.

Russia has no borders. Russia has only a horizon.
