The Western world is squeezing the "Anaconda Loop" around Russia

42

The day before, another, tenth in a row, package of anti-Russian sanctions was adopted, which became the toughest in the entire history of the confrontation between the Russian Federation and the collective West. Along with the European Union, new restrictive measures were introduced by the United States, Great Britain and Canada. Экономическая The "Anaconda Loop" around our country began to shrink even more.

"Anaconda Loop"


The origins of this sinister name lie in the history of the American Civil War. Then General Winfield Scott, not believing in a quick military defeat of the Confederation, proposed to strangle the southerners, who practically did not have their own heavy industry, economically. To do this, the fleet of the northerners was to impose a naval blockade of the ports of the Confederate States of America, and the ground forces were to capture the Mississippi, breaking the connection between the eastern and western parts of the CSA. The sonorous name for Scott's plan came up with journalists.



Subsequently, this idea was developed in the public field by the well-known American Russophobe political scientist Zbigniew Brzezinski, who, in his book The Grand Chessboard, proposed creating a “belt of extremely hostile states” around our country. In southeastern Europe, an Intermarium confederation under the leadership of Poland was to appear, stretching from the Baltic to the Black Sea and cutting off Russia from Western Europe. From the south, at the Russian borders, the Great Turan, headed by Turkey, should also be created, which should also include Azerbaijan, Northern Iran, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Kyrgyzstan.

As can be seen as of the end of February 2023, the Anaconda Loop plan in its political plane is being implemented at an accelerated pace.

A large part of Ukraine for Russia with the current approach to conducting NWO is actually lost. The collective West stood behind the back of the Kyiv regime and supplies the Armed Forces of Ukraine with everything necessary for the war with the RF Armed Forces. The integration project of the Intermarium was given new life in the form of Trimorye, the approval for which was given to Warsaw by the United States. Also gaining momentum is the pan-Turkic project of Great Turan under the auspices of Ankara, which includes more and more former Soviet Central Asian republics in its sphere of influence. Perhaps only a large-scale earthquake in Turkey unexpectedly gave Russia some kind of reprieve, mixing up the plans of the "sultan" Erdogan.

In addition to geopolitical projects of an anti-Russian orientation, created on its periphery, the collective West is consistently pursuing a policy of purposeful economic strangulation of our country. Thus, the head of the EU foreign policy service, Josep Borrell, directly named the goals of the tenth sanctions package:

We remain united in our determination to damage the Russian military machine.

The new European sanctions can be considered comprehensive. Among the key ones, one can single out measures aimed at restricting the export of goods that “can be used to support the military efforts of the Russian Federation”:

Today's decision imposes further bans on the export of critical of technologies and industrial goods such as electronics, specialized vehicles, machine parts, spare parts for trucks and jet engines, as well as goods for the construction sector that can be sent to the Russian military, such as antennas or cranes.

The ban includes heavy trucks, spare parts for them, semi-trailers, special equipment, power generators, binoculars, radars, compasses, structures for bridges and towers, loaders and cranes, electrical engineering, spare parts for equipment, pumps, equipment for metal processing, as well as goods used in the aviation industry. In order to avoid the possibility of circumventing sanctions, the European Union has banned the transit of European dual-use goods and technologies through Russia. By the way, Ankara has already promised Washington not to allow Moscow to circumvent the restrictions, however, it has not yet joined them itself.

The EU also strengthened sanctions against the Russian banking sector by including three more financial institutions in its "black list" - Alfa-Bank, Rosbank and Tinkoff Bank:

To ensure the effectiveness of asset freeze prohibitions, the Board decided to introduce more detailed reporting obligations on funds and economic resources held by listed individuals and entities that were frozen or moved in any way shortly before listing.

The media group Rossiya Segodnya and foreign subdivisions of the Russian media, allegedly spreading “propaganda and pro-government disinformation on the aggressive war that Russia is waging against Ukraine” did not go unnoticed by European partners:

The Board initiated the process of suspension of broadcast licenses for two additional media outlets: RT Arabic and Sputnik Arabic.

In addition, the tenth package included personal sanctions against 121 individuals and legal entities from Russia, including military leaders Alexei Avdeev, Mikhail Teplinsky, Sergei Karakaev, the head of Rossotrudnichestvo Yevgeny Primakov, Commissioner for Human Rights in the Russian Federation Tatyana Moskalkova, the National Welfare Fund of Russia , Russian National Reinsurance Company and others.

It should be noted that several Iranian companies that allegedly help Russia by producing and supplying drones to the RF Armed Forces also fell under European sanctions. Among them are companies such as Oje Parvaz Mado Nafar, Paravar Pars, Qods Aviation Industries and Shahed Aviation Industries.

In addition to the Old World, the countries of the Anglo-Saxon world took an active part in the economic strangulation of Russia. In particular, the US Department of the Treasury and the US State Department imposed sanctions on more than 200 individuals helping Russia "in evading sanctions." Restrictive measures from Washington affected the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, Skolkovo, Megafon, the Main Computing Center of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces, 1200 Russian military personnel, the State Grain Operator and others. Also, from May 10, 2023, a 200% duty on aluminum and aluminum goods from Russia will be introduced.

London imposed sanctions on four Russian banks. MTS-Bank, St. Petersburg, Uralsib and Zenit fell out of favor with the British. Canada also updated its sanctions list, which included 129 individuals and 63 legal entities from the Russian Federation. PJSC Motovilikhinskiye Zavody, Research and Production Corporation Uralvagonzavod, Federal Security Service, Main Directorate of the General Staff, FSO, Federation Council, State Duma, United Russia Party, Main Directorate for Special Programs of the President and Rosfinmonitoring, as well as State Duma Deputy Dmitry Skrivanov .

The overall picture is very bleak. It is an extremely difficult task to resist such external pressure against the background of a severe SWO. What measures can and should Russia take in response for its own survival? This will need to be discussed in more detail separately.

    In Soviet times, it was even worse. They did without foreign clothes and other household utensils. And the fact that defective managers screwed up and pilfered everything is bad, of course, but not fatal. We need to shake up our oligarchs and nationalize all the finances and property of the runaway Western companies. All proceeds should be spent on the development of its industrial potential. Yes, that's just the vyarkhovny couple does not say anything worthwhile about this. But this is bad. He declared his own, and it is necessary to act, and not to talk.

    When someone is pressed, he tries to do at least something in response ...
    But Russia still supplies strategic raw materials to all NATO countries.
    What is the dependence of the US, France on Russian plutonium? And what?
    Here Russian cosmonauts will fly on enemy rockets.
    Through gasket companies, Russia trades LNG, oil, etc. with NATO.
    Russia supplies aluminum to NATO countries.
    Russia has not imposed sanctions against a single Western arms supplier.

    The situation is not clear even to a simple layman.
    Well, how they beat you, and you lick your heels ...
    They are strangling, but Russia, whatever you want, we take care of your people, even if you pour mud over us three times (as with Estonia).

    And if Russia is so strongly dependent, then they hoped for a chance?
    Then it is clear why the generals lose to the jester.

    It's time to rename the NWO in Ukraine into the War with NATO as a direct participant. The difference is that the NMD predetermines the use of the limited capabilities available to the Russian Federation, which are many times inferior to the political, economic and military potential of NATO, and the War removes all restrictions from the Russian Federation because NATO officially sets the task of inflicting a strategic defeat, which means victory on the battlefield and “decolonization” RF that the military doctrine is considered as the basis for the use of all available strategic weapons

          More than helpful.
          From the production of agricultural products to LNG technology "Arctic Cascade".
          Due to all this, the economy keeps and develops, and for the population there is only one more crisis, and it is weaker than in 2014.

          And that the generals did not notice the changes in military affairs, starting with the pogrom of Soviet air defense in Lebanon in 1982 - so glory to the Soviet military schools that they graduated from.

    the collective West is consistently pursuing a policy of deliberate economic strangulation of our country

    The West is doing exactly what it warned Putin about before the start of the NWO, persuading him not to invade Ukraine.
    Until 23/02/2022, everything was more or less economically.

    It is an extremely difficult task to resist such external pressure against the backdrop of severe SWO.

    And this is the main front of the confrontation.

    What measures can and should Russia take in response for its own survival?

    In the medium term, everything is clear.
    Infrastructure towards Asia, localization, search for alternative suppliers.
    What actually is being done.

      On the whole, you are right, but as far as our medium-term perspective is concerned, it depends how you understand it. It seems that the measures taken are more likely related to the short term, and it is possible to talk about the medium term, and even more so the long term, only taking into account the future behavior of China, India and some other countries, which is predictable with a noticeable degree of conditionality...

    Quite right! However, a radical restructuring of the system is not visible; rather, individual, insufficiently effective measures are being taken. Very interesting excerpts on the topic from the book "Clausewitz and the Void" at the links:

    By "medium term" I mean 3-7 years, until ~2030.

    Quote from: Vox_Populi
    measures taken are rather short-term

    Well, in aviation - only a site was chosen for the plant of aircraft engine components. While they are building, while they are setting up production ...
    To the port of Chumikan, only the first tens of km of railway lines were delivered to drink, out of ~ 600. (And the port itself is only in projects)
    The production of lithographic equipment under 300nm signed up for 2025, 130nm even later, respectively, until this equipment itself is produced, while factories with this equipment are set up, until they are saturated with chips ...

    Gas carriers - there is a project of its own, but it had to be processed for a completely different engine, instead of imported diesel engines - the Rosatom steam-gas cycle using gas boilers, coupled with a steam turbine ...

    In general, no matter what is serious, this is work for a few more years, even if they have already begun.

      What are the current prospects? Yes, there are some reserves, but the fighting requires huge funds, which must be constantly replenished, which country will be ready to assist the losing side? Now we need to negotiate with China and North Korea, and neutralize India and Pakistan, however, they themselves do not show much activity in an effort to help Ukraine. The question of the use of tactical nuclear weapons in communications in the West of Ukraine is already overdue, no matter how we miss the moment, then the next step will be the use of strategic nuclear weapons in NATO countries. Another option is to simply surrender on the terms of Ukraine, as the liberals want, this option does not suit both the leadership and the majority of the population. To win, you need not only a great army, but also a desire to win, victory will not come without determination.

      In connection with the quite frank statements of the West about the intention to destroy the people of Russia, you understand that we have long had the moral right to use tactical nuclear weapons, but first you need to hit communications in Western Ukraine in a sparsely populated area. When they begin to write about the construction of defensive structures on the territory of Russia, the realization comes that the time is coming for a transition to more serious weapons, nuclear weapons are the last argument of the kings.

    squeezing the "Anaconda Loop"???

    There is no loop that could pinch Russia.
    We really need to look at these things, and even more so in CONNECTION with the history of the USSR and Russia.
    Plans are one thing, but the reality is quite different. The US has big problems with reality.
    It was smooth on paper, but forgot about the ravines.
    All US plans regarding Russia have long been bursting at the seams. Others have already failed miserably. They write new ones, but they are already cracking.
    NWO marches victoriously in Ukraine and is a confirmation of this.
    The noose, if any, is tightened around the neck of American democratic fascism-terrorism in one criminal vial.
    This is US suicide!
    All the steps they take against Russia turn against them and lead them to DESTRUCTION and DESTRUCTION!
    Russia is so huge and POWERFUL that the West does not have such a loop and never will.

    The United States seized Ukraine, Europe, some countries of Asia and the Middle East in a lasso, and Russia is NOT TOO TOUGH for them!
    The US wanted to lasso the Russian Crimea. The plans failed.
    The US wanted to lasso the Russian Donbass. The plans failed.
