Why V. Putin is the best Geopolitician of our time

Why V. Putin is the best Geopolitician of our time

On Thursday, 23 December 2021, at the big press conference of the President of Russia clearly demonstrated that  Vladimir Putin is undeniably the best geopolitician in the world in recent decades. For in history there are very few such people who came to power in a country in a state of economic crisis and political chaos, and in just two decades returned it to the ranks of the world's leading powers. Moreover, he did it in such unfavourable conditions - with the complete unity of their opponents, in the conditions of the global financial and economic crisis and growing instability.

If we add to this the difficult situation within the country with its internal political tensions and contradictions, the presence of a huge number of social and economic problems, then we can state that the task of returning Russia to “greatness again”, which faced V. Putin at the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, seemed completely insurmountable. But nevertheless, he managed to brilliantly cope with it, once again demonstrating to the world that "the Russians do not give up" and the West was in a hurry to write them off from world history.

Today Russia is once again a great power with powerful allies. The path of two decades was not easy and sometimes very confusing, since it was impossible to show the "partners" their true intentions ahead of time.

The first years were spent on solving the priority Russian problems - preventing the country from disintegrating into specific principalities, stabilizing the situation and excluding the then oligarchs from political life. And only after that the first application was made to return to the "club of leading world powers" - this happened in February 2007 in Munich.

Seven years is a short period and very few people realized that the situation began to change, Western leaders generally pretended that nothing had happened and the world remained the same and in principle was like that and only this very moment can be considered the beginning of a large geopolitical turn away from the West. This effort received its logical conclusion almost a decade and a half later in the form of an ultimatum presented by Russia to the United States and the NATO bloc in December 2021 demanding to immediately and unconditionally get out of the space of the former USSR, as well as to remove American offensive weapons from Eurasia.

What is most remarkable is the geopolitical situation in which this event took place. If in the early 2000s Russia was practically alone in the international arena, today it has a number of allies and agreements concluded with them. First of all, it is China, which immediately supported Moscow's initiative - it perfectly understands who its main opponent is and without whom it will not be able to cope with it. With a high probability, it can be assumed that there are some agreements between Russia and the PRC, including an informal military alliance. The United States cannot resist in any way, which the Americans themselves admit.

Well, on the part of another great Asian power - India, there is clearly a friendly neutrality. They managed to maintain good relations with it at the level that existed during the Soviet era, and the Moscow-Beijing-New Delhi triangle is becoming a real nightmare for the West, which is losing its power over Eurasia. There are serious reasons to believe that the three countries have also agreed on their own financial and economic clusters, and this will quickly deprive the dollar of the status of a world reserve currency. And without it, the US will finally leave its place as world hegemon.

In general, the Western world is no longer something integral and unified, as it was a decade ago. The turbulent economic and political upheavals that began in 2008 led to its split and the transition to a life on the principle of “every man for himself”. Therefore,  now there is no reason to fear his coordinated policy towards Russia - there are many who do not want to spoil relations with her and deprive themselves of energy supplies because of this. And this means expanding the horizon of opportunities and freedom of action, which was difficult to imagine just a few years ago.

Such a fundamental change in the situation in less than a generation gives grounds to say that V. Putin today has no equal in the field of geopolitics. The ability to subtly calculate the situation, if necessary, mislead "partners" and make completely unexpected and non-standard decisions - all this was demonstrated to them in full over two decades. But more importantly, the president himself believes that his main political achievement is yet to come..

I agree that VVP is the best, or at the least, most effective geopolitician of our time. He knows how to build and manage teams with requisite skills in-depth and is applying the same principles internationally as in Russia.

He has an almost ideal blend of personality traits, innate and learned skills and is mart enough to know when to apply each tool in his toolbox.

When he was a mid-ranking official in St Petersburg, he was generally regarded as the go-to guy for foreigners with genuine businesses with sound propositions because he did what he said he would do (or at least did his best to do so), he could not be bought and he was straightforward.

Back when I started out in Finland, he'd been coming over from Russia as part of a soccer team that played in amateur games often with teams from the business community around Finland. He was well-liked. That was before he was airlifted into Moscow to become part of Yelstin's cadre.

[Contrarian]

IF he had avoided annexing Crimea, invading the Donbas and now threatening to invade the rest of Ukraine, the title would be true.

As it is he has created enmity between Ukrainians and Russians which did not exist before. 

[Manny]

IF he had avoided annexing Crimea, invading the Donbas and now threatening to invade the rest of Ukraine, the title would be true.

1) Allowing Crimea to reunify to prevent issues with Sevastapol.

2) If Donbass had been "invaded" it would by now be part of the RF.

3) There has been no "threat" to invade Ukraine. The US invented that and fed it to a complicit media.

You're welcome.

Sums it up succinctly. 

It should be noted the Russians invented the nonsense about the US/NATO wanting Sevastopol as a naval base.

As for the 100,000 plus Russian troops along three borders of Ukraine, I guess they are there toasting marshmallows.

[Wiz]

No persons, governments or group of people are all perfect BUt I respect him that he took over a very destroyed country and in a few years managed finally to restore an order and brought back respect to the Russian people for their government and also respect and pride for their country! Russia today is a very modern place and well advanced.

I will never forget my first impressions when I visit St Petersburg and was wondering around visiting marvel places with a companion translating  everything to me.

I am sure at the end he will be the best leader that Russia ever had.

PS: Dear friend Contrarian.... I would suggest you read the history again regarding Russia and Ukraine.... and who has messed Ukraine last.... in 2014 and of course was not V.V Putin neither Russia.... but USA and their staff member of CIA Geoferey Payat together with a fat Jewish woman, who organised everything and spend $5 billion... everything on the record!

Russia does not need Donbus for anything... as it has plenty of land of its own.....and not enough people to live there.

Now if you had ever visited Russia you would sing us a different song with an attractive Russian woman on your side!

Do not pay attention to all the crap the Zionist troll posts, let him have fun!

Actually that is what the theft of Crimea and Donbas were. That and the assembled 100,000 little green men in tanks and artillery on the border of Ukraine now.

Having said that I do wish that NATO would agree to never accept Ukraine. In fact if the IMF defunded Ukraine, Russia could then step in. Either way Russia deserves Ukraine.

This is in fact very true.

There was also an invitation to quote published IIRC on the State Department website. I saw it on the original page, not a screenshot. They were looking for refurbishment work on buildings in Sevastopol. Obviously not conclusive, but certainly indicative of both intent and attitude.

Oh no Manny, Zelenskiy is lying as are his senior military staff when they say that the Russians are NOT massing for an invasion. They must be. The USAians NEVER lie, and certainly never project.

[B.B.]

1) Allowing Crimea to reunify to prevent issues with Sevastapol.

In violation of the Budpest Memorandum of 1994, and the Ukrainian Constitution. 

2) If Donbass had been "invaded" it would by now be part of the RF. 

You mean like Crimea is now?  Putin has certainly destabilized the Donbas.  He also has now created a permanently hostile Ukraine that will never elect a pro-Russian government ever again.

3) There has been no "threat" to invade Ukraine. The US invented that and fed it to a complicit media.

So the tens of thousands of Russian soldiers on the borders with Ukraine are just hanging out?  Asking for a friend.

Professor B.B Do you ever read what other people are posting or just simply ignore the other posters and continue spreading your ignorance?

I have already , in a previous post, pointed out that Crimea was an Autonomus Republic and had every right to have a referendum and chose whatever the majority wanted.

Yes their crime was, Not to follow the American instructions and destroy their country as you, the USA, did in Kiev in 2004-5 with your organised Orange Revolution and in 2014 YOUR coup d'état and they choose Russia as the Majority were of Russians. If you never have visited Crimea it's better not to open your mouth as you have not a clue apart from bla bla!.

2) If Donbass had been "invaded" it would by now be part of the RF.

It is amazing how ignorant and brainwashed from your Media are most if not all the USA people, including yousel!

After the collapse of the USSR in 1991 and Ukraine's decision to become independent from the Russian Federation the 2 countrie continue their coperation.....and Russia was exporting it's gas to Europe...and Ukraine had cheap gas from themselves. Both countries were co-operating well,  as they had common interests, because  90% of Ukrainian exports were going to Russia and in return the Russians were supplying cheap gas and other things despite your Orange Revolution, they still continue their arrangements.

For your information  and according to the WSJ on the 17 Dec 2013 — Russia lavished Ukraine with a bailout package worth at least $20 billion which I an not aware if they ever repaid. As afar as I am aware,  when Viktor Yanukovych was pushed to join the EU (Your other vehicle to repress the EU countries via your Germany vassal and the IMF you control,) he realised that was better to be with Russia than the EU.... so he signed an extension till 2042 for the Crimea Russian bases in exchange for cheap gas of $50 per 1000 qb and that was best for his country! Unfortunately, he failed to play your game and had to run for his life.!
All your other comments are simply fantasies and you provide no accurate evidence except Blah Blah and nothing else!

QUESTION FOR YOU: Who started bombing east Ukraine and when , killing sofar more than 10000's of people and when it all started?   just to remind you!

14 Apr 2014 — CIA Director John Brennan Visits Ukraine Amid Crisis ... the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, John Brennan, was in Kiev over the weekend.
15 Apr 2014 — The attack began hours after the U.S. confirmed that CIA Director John Brennan had visited Kiev on the weekend   Simple coincidence?

3) There has been no "threat" to invade Ukraine. The US invented that and fed it to a complicit media.

Russia is the largest (land Mass) country in the world and what it does 2-300 km inside their country is none of your business. May I remind you that all Invasions against Russia came from the West and South frontiers  Your country is over the pond many 1000's km away, and Russia does not care to attack you..... but you have to realise you cannot tell Russia what to do any more, like you used to. YOU WILL GET USED TO IT PRETTY SOON.

Keep an Eye to your Dollar as I hear it's moving fast and soon only few countries will use your toilet paper. Russia and China have plenty of Real Gold!
Yours is sold and the Rothschild's (FED) are sucking you dry!

Your National Dept, is almost 30 Trillion Dollars, which I guess you have no intention to pay any time.  China is holding few Trillions and who know what they will do...Maybe will continue buying American Business and real estates............
Keep an eye also in Germany as soon the new boys will ask you to move out as they will ask for their Sovereignty  Back!.

HAVE A NICE DAY!

PS: Sorry for the long post but I am tired getting lessons  from arrogant and also ignorant people.

Indeed it is quite amazing to see how the US dollar over the last two years has strengthened against the Ruble, English Pound and the Euro. Wiz since you are a simple sort of poster this means that for currencies such as the three I note, it costs more of these notes to buy a US dollar.

Please carry on confirming your ignorance.

Its you who are either believing fake news, or are simply ignorant.

may-2020 to jan-2021 , the dollar took a nosa-dive compared to Euro , 0.9 Euro ~ 1 dollar at the beginning, 0.8 Euro ~ 1 dollar at the end of that period. Since then its started to rise again, but its still not above the 0.9 Euro value now.

And GBP i am not even commenting, just click the chart and be amazed at how poorly its doing.

I can't stop Laughing..... because I can always make a safe bet when I make a post, who will be the first to answer.. you are so predictable on your trolling shift!

When I made my post this morning.....at 5.42 GMT I was fully aware who will be the first person to answer to my comments and of course was you, as usual, answering me  at 7. 41 GMT ... for a subject, a throw away comment, and you like a fish.... bite hard! after 2 hours.

Well our dear friend Mark..... gave you the answer... and he is spot on.

I only have to say I feel sorry for you having to make such long shifts..........until 2.30 am your time.. It must be very lonely life....been on shift for 24 hours.....

You know very little or Not A LOT ( as a magician use to say in UK)..about currencies.! Any idea what is your inflation rate over there now?

You are a pathetic creature as from a very long post you just found my trick throw away line to answer....... so it proves my point that you have no idea of what i going on over in Ukraine and Russia.and in the world around ......

Shalom .... Shalom shopping time now. and when back will tell you about our inflation rate.

In fact Mark is correct from his perspective, as I am from my perspective. The rise and fall depends entirely in which currency you are anchored in. For every currency that rises another currency falls.

If one looks at the five year average of the Dollar to the Euro or Pound than the Dollar is in the middle range. It certainly is not crashing as Wiz repeatedly states.

I suggest you take another look at my posts and if you find that comment "crashing" then I will apologise   but I have never used that word..... in which case you should apologise for substituting my posting with other words.

Just for your information when I was running my own business I was using the Money /Currency  markets and as far i can remember I never lost any money.

I had a good friend working in the Money markets.......and he educated me where to use/invest the business money I collected in the Bank from my customers and 99% I made a profit. He also teach me a few other tricks on how to make nearly perfect bets with the currency!.

When the current "alzheimer'r Democratic president won the election and become officially President of your country it was pretty obvious to outsiders what was coming next. Look the history, when the Democrats were in power, always had problems with Russia, as they prefer poking on the Russian bear to have a continuous "Cold War", it's their policy as suit their plans,  like now. That is what they are after but Putin has other views....... and we are looking and guessing.

Okay Wiz most Americans here on this forum don't like Biden.

However you have made posts calling Trump a "mafia President".

While Trump was far from perfect he was the best choice we had and some of us liked how he handled the economy and his work to secure our border. 

[Danchik]

Wiz takes a lot of heat for some of his views, but IMO, he's right overall even though he can go off the rails a bit at times, which can take away from his real POV for some of you. It's also easy to see that others form their opinion of what he says on their dislike of him and not his message. Apropos for current beliefs on anything of substance these days.

This is one of the best videos summing up how we (The West and Russia) all got to where we are now, and I trust this guy way more than all the pseudo-expert opinions whom have posted on this forum and haven't been to Russia for years, or are economically exploiting women in Ukraine and thinking with their dick. And that also includes the outdated and hugely overrated opinion from anyone's significant other .

Watch the whole video if you're really interested as the Q & A after Pozner finishes is also compelling.

P.S. it's always a hoot to hear an American use another country breaking a treaty as evidence to prove their point. Surely, something the America government would never do so.

If you don't like your President it is yours and all American people problem and not mine.

I called Trump Mafia President because he behaved like the Mafia people.
How many times and for how many businesses of his declared Bankruptcy?

Did you read about Laundering money for Russian Oligarchs?
I guess that was the card that putin was holding and not any naked photos for a young girl in some Russian hotel in Moscow!

After meeting with Putin in Helsinki, in a private room on their own, I just wonder why both came out of the room laughing and playing like good old friends?

Have you watched his wife's face... when they were/are in public?

Always she looked terrified and I wonder why?

As about your current president.... have to wait and see ......if he has the balls to go against Putin or Russia?
