The “Little Foreign Ministry” in the Government of the Russian Federation under the direction of the former ambassador to the United States Yuri Ushakova set up Russian Newsweek, draining the text of the document on the pro -Western concept of foreign policy of Russia. To reality, this “concept of foreign policy doctrine” has practically nothing to do, except that the Kremlin is interested in the longest stay of the Obama administration in power. For purely pragmatic considerations: Washington practically gives Moscow one position after another, not paying attention to the consequences of its actions.
The Little Foreign Ministry, working in the Russian government under the direction of the former ambassador of the Russian Federation to the United States, Yuri Ushakova, is really successfully functions, and for a long time. From the moment Mr. Ushakov moved from Washington to Moscow, having received the post of deputy head of the government apparatus for international affairs under Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.
After this appointment, Yuri Ushakov finally managed to get around his old competitor Sergei Lavrov, with whom he fought for the right to become the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. Having become an adviser to international affairs of the real country of the Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Mr. Ushakov gained significantly greater weight when Moscow adopted certain foreign policy decisions, he actually turned into the head of Mr. Lavrov.
The Russian Newsweek says that the plan to improve relations with the EU, which began with the recognition of the crimes of the USSR in Katyn, arose by chance. That is, stabilizing the situation between the Russian Federation and Poland, constantly and fairly opposing the imperial policy of the Kremlin, began with a telegram from the Russian embassy in Warsaw received by Yuri Ushakov.
In principle, such a telegram was in principle, but that Moscow seriously decided to bet on this script is already very difficult. An additional confirmation of the foregoing was the statement of the Minister of Defense of Poland Radek Sikorsky regarding the possibility of introducing a visa -free regime between the EU and Russia.
Mr. Sikorsky insists that exactly the same EU negotiations should start with several former post -Soviet countries at once, including Georgia, Azerbaijan, etc. Such a step, in my opinion, would be absolutely justified. Moreover, the abolition of the visa regime, for starters with Georgia, would have become a clear signal of Moscow that the war provoked by the Kremlin with Tbilisi is at least not forgotten.
Washington’s guarantees of the “guarantees” of Jackson-Vennik, which interferes with the development of trade relations between the Russian Federation and the USA, declared by the authors of the article, are based on a conversation with one (!!!) Russian diplomat ... while responsible journalism requires confirmation of at least two sources, one of which, in this situation, must represent the American side. In addition, if the set three is an explanation, then this anonymous source of the magazine either gives the desired for the actual one or works ... in the African department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation.
Until November of this year, the democratic majority in Congress is unlikely to reach the vote to cancel the correction of Jackson-Vanik. Not to mention the fact that, despite the numerical majority in both chambers of the one -party members of President Obama, their attitude to the mentioned amendment is by no means unambiguous.
But the most important thing is that in November the next elections to Congress will be held, as a result of which the Democratic Party can really lose the majority either in the House of Representatives, either in the Senate or in the congress as a whole. If this happens, then the chances of canceling the amendments will become even more ghostly.
The economic substantiation of the need to change the course of foreign policy-the consequences of the crisis allegedly convinced Russia of the need to “lean against someone”-does not withstand any criticism. As well as a link to the words of the president-Bez-Portfel Dmitry Medvedev that "it is time for Russia to stop inflating the cheeks."
Russia with difficulty, but survived the crisis, which, in fact, does not make it stronger and of course does not put it in a number of economically developed countries. The Russian Federation still remains an underdeveloped country of third world, trying to put itself on the map due to extremely aggressive, confrontational steps in relation to the EU and the United States.
That is, Moscow, in particular, relies on strengthening relations with the so-called hype countries, including Iran, Venezuela, etc. In addition, the Kremlin uses military force and serious economic pressure on the countries of the post -Soviet space, trying to return them to imperial embrace and dictatorial management system. What is it, if not a continuation of the cheek pouting policy?
A quote from the last appeal of Dmitry Medvedev to the federal assembly, given above, has the same or even less weight in the Kremlin than the widely known words of Vladimir Zhirinovsky about the wash of the Russian boots in the Indian Ocean. In addition, almost no statement by Mr. Medvedev, starting with those related to the “national projects” he supervised, had no real power to calls for the fight against corruption. Not to mention the concept of European security proposed by him, which would finally deprive the already soft -bodied Europe of this very security.
The refusal of Prime Minister Putin to accept at the U.S. Vice President Joseph Biden and the meeting of President Medvedev with the leader of the terrorist organization Hamas Haled Mashal clearly show where the Kremlin’s foreign policy priorities are located.
In the quote from the quote by Sergei Lavrov, who, according to the authors, is present in a merged document, the Russian minister expresses “anxiety” for the fate of President Obama and “accuses the“ military, reconnaissance and foreign policy hystobracling ”of attempts to“ return to the confrontation policy of the last administration ”.
This reminded me of both the former Soviet times, when Lavrov’s “enemies” were on the way of improving relations, and about the recent joy of Moscow in connection with the appointment of condolisian Rice to the post of first adviser to President Bush in national security, and then the US Secretary of State.
In the same way, the Kremlin clapped the choice of Henry Kissinger and Tom Graham (former senior director for Russia in the US National Security Council) for the role of “shuttles” between the White House and Moscow. It seems that the Kremlin continues to “dance” Washington as he wants. The question is whether he will once again manage to persuade the “gullible girl” “to dinner”.
