Russia moves to decisive action
Putin, at the collegium of the Ministry of Defense on New Year's Eve, for the first time bluntly stated that Russia, in response to the promotion of the military structure into the sphere of influence of Russia and to the aggressive actions of NATO led by the United States, will respond adequately, using not only diplomatic, but also military-technical methods.
And this means that in the event of a conflict, the Russian army will hit the centers of planning and controlling the aggression of the West. That is, strikes will not be carried out on all military bases and not on all large cities, but on strategic facilities from where military operations are planned and from where orders are sent to the troops of Russia's Western opponents and their minions!
Thus, the number of military bases and the number of countries that are part of NATO will be militarily neutralized in one strike, although several missile shock waves from water, from under water, from land, air and space cannot be ruled out!
And the NATO countries, and of course the United States, when discussing Russia's proposals for strategic stability in the world, should first of all think about the losses that they will suffer in the event of a war with Russia and China - it is these geopolitical associations that will collide in the event of hostilities!
Russia in this clash has a great advantage in that its territory is so vast that in any case, even with atomic bombings, some people will survive, while in the United States and especially in Europe, the population density far exceeds the population density of Russia and the atomic the war will destroy most of the inhabitants of these countries.
Those strategists in the West who are constantly pushing Russia around, driving it only into their own borders, should also think about this, which makes it practically defenceless!
I would like to explain why gradually, despite any gestures of friendliness and strategic retreats by Russia, the West is pursuing an aggressive policy, trying not to force Russia to come to terms with the hegemony and geentarmerie functions of the United States and its satellites in relation to the whole world!
... It all started around the eighties of the last century, when the party nomenklatura and top officials came to power in the Soviet Union, who somehow wanted to join the West as partners, albeit younger ones - they were fascinated by the prosperity and satiety of the countries of the "golden billion" , envying the wealth of the Western elites - these, still Soviet philistines, decided to convert power in the Union into material values %u200B%u200Band tried to find in this movement back to the estate state, an ally in the face of the West and, above all, America.
Since the time of Gorbachev, a generation of party members came to power who no longer believed in the ideals of communism and the construction of genuine socialism - in words, these patriots claimed that they had built a nationwide state, that socialism had already been built and was within easy reach of a communist paradise, but the more they talk about it they said, the more obvious their desire for personal well-being became, and flirting with the West allowed them to consider themselves civilized, advanced cosmopolitans, with all the material and power benefits of such a state.
They no longer wanted to work, as the Bolsheviks did after the Revolution, and did not want to die in the event of a war with the West, as communists and Komsomol members died on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War.
They became careerists, strove to get to Moscow, got themselves separate places for recreation, brought in special distributors, which, with a general food shortage, automatically made them a separate layer, reaping all the power benefits of such a state of the country ...
Then came the conceited village boy Gorbachev and flirting with the West turned into a frank surrender of the positions of the USSR, in exchange for the personal glory of a democrat and peacemaker - remember the happy face of this eternal Komsomol member, when the whole West shouted and applauded him, affectionately calling him Gorbiy ...
It was during his time, former Komsomol members were already thrown into power in party and bureaucratic structures accustomed to say one thing, think another, and do a third. All this horde of "foremen of perestroika" thought only about their career, hypocrisy in front of each other, making a party and bureaucratic career through this hypocrisy and hypocrisy.
And then another village boy was found - Yeltsin, also a former Komsomol leader and also conceited, and besides, a narrow-minded party functionary. He led a detachment of Russian nationalists, and playing along with the nationalists in the Soviet republics, he decided to seize power in the country. Obviously, he did this caring only for his career and therefore did not think about the future at all - he wanted to become "Tsar Boris" and for this he was ready for any meanness and betrayal!
In the end, one former Komsomol member, Yeltsin, sat down another Komsomol member, Gorbachev, and, using the support of nationalists from the republics, arranged a shameful sitting in Belovezhskaya Pushcha, as a result of which the Union and the socialist camp, which seemed eternal, collapsed overnight and Russia was left alone, surrounded by a belt of unfriendly limitrophes who received "independence" according to the verdict of this "tsar-drunkard"!
During the reign of Yeltsin, this dictator - "reformer" was surrounded by narrow-minded people from his family clan and such advisers as Burbulis, a former teacher of the history of the CPSU, who did not understand what was happening, and most importantly, did not understand at all the consequences of the counter-revolution and the collapse of the Union, for Russia itself!
And all this court camarilla made an outright fool, a dictator out of the "boss", and gradually, in the terrible nineties, the "new" Russia also began to disintegrate before our eyes!
It cannot be said that in those days there were no protesters against the Yeltsin regime in power, so the execution of the Supreme Council followed, and then the Civil War began in Chechnya, already with Russian nationalists, whom Yeltsin, with his absurd statements like "take as much independence as you can" , fueled nationalist sentiments in the republics. This bloody war ended after the death of "Tsar Boris" tormented by post-alcoholic diseases and pangs of conscience, for the destruction and execution of the White House and its defenders.
This state of collapse and chaos in the country was taken advantage of by the young reformers, led by Yegor Gaidar, who hired American experts and teachers of capitalist reforms in Russia, many of whom directly served in the CIA.
Gaidar, Chubais, Berezovsky, Abramovich and several dozens of young careerists emerged from this muddy environment - specialists in destroying the economy and the country!
Here, I only briefly describe the difficult moments in the modern history of Russia, in fact, many, and of course those who called themselves the intellectual elite of the nation, took part in this process of destroying the Soviet Union!
I cannot but say that reforms were necessary for the USSR back in the days of Brezhnev, that is, at a time when life in the country gradually stopped, there was a gradual separation of power and people, including the party elite and millions of ordinary party members!
Since the time of stagnation, the party machine has already reproduced in the power of mediocrities and philistines, which gave rise not only to Gorbachev and Yeltsin, but hundreds and hundreds of young provincials - careerists. They became party and state power, after the death of a generation of old communists who survived the war, which contributed to the emergence of new bureaucrats who turned into outright traitors to the communist idea!
It was these "new communists" who ruined the Soviet economy and instead of reforms like those of Deng Xiao Ping, they decided to replace socialism with the original capitalism.
In other words, the reforms expected by all went towards the restoration of capitalism, the power of small-town bourgeois without clan and tribe, and this became the determining reason for the collapse of the Soviet Union!
But Russia was once again lucky - Yeltsin, who no longer understood what he was doing, dying of alcoholism, nevertheless found and chose a former committee member - a young and strong-willed economist and administrator Putin - who became, after the death of Boris Yeltsin, the new President of Russia.
For this rare reasonable act of Yeltsin, the country, for all that, should be grateful to him and excuse at least some of those stupidities and crimes that he committed!
I have written more than once about the merits and demerits of the current President of Russia, and therefore I will not dwell on this ...
Today, the containment of Russia by the hypocritical West, with the help of economic sanctions, has already turned into a real economic-information war, and Russophobia cultivated by the West since the end of Yeltsin's reign has already turned into a hybrid war, which once again put Russia on the brink of destruction.
However, largely due to the reasonable policy of Putin and his associates, today the moment has come when, despite the sanctions, Russia has strengthened and restored the strength of the army, although the internal split in Russian society has not yet been completely overcome.
And Russia finally realized that attempts to improve relations with the West will sooner or later end in war, only on conditions and under circumstances favorable to the West!
In my opinion, this is the main reason why the leadership of the country and the army switched from persuading partners to "live together" to actions to defend their right to sovereignty and independence from the arrogant West, which today, after decades of unequal relations, argues something like this :
"How dare Russia, which we smashed to smithereens in the nineties, try to restore the former status quo again and claim the title of superpower! Now we will show them who is the "king of the hill" in the modern world, first by strangling it with economic sanctions, isolating it from the whole "rest of the world", and then, at an opportune moment, we will bomb it, as Yugoslavia was bombed and destroyed!
By this "common world" they mean, first of all, themselves, and therefore, today's strategists in Washington are trying to realize a long-standing desire to crack down on Russia and the political legacy left after the Second World War, ignoring the UN and creating its pro-Western counterpart - the "union democracies" - which will be completely dependent on the United States and its satellites in Europe ...
... In conclusion of this short and confused article, I want to warn optimists that the struggle against US hegemony is just beginning and this new Cold War may eventually turn into the Third World War. This should be remembered by politicians not only in Russia and China, but above all in Europe and America!
