It would be nice to accept the sedative to Vladimir Putin and his Kremlin comrades. Moreover, this must be done urgently, immediately, without delaying tomorrow. The President of Russia and his team may happen in a heart attack or stroke. By the way, quite Kremlin illness. Almost like a gout of kings. True, if the Secretary Generals of the blows occurred mainly from old age, then Vladimir Putin may be enough from rage and paranoia.
The virtual end of the presidential rule of Mr. Putin apparently convinced him that he was surrounded by traitors. And they, having gathered together in Germany at a meeting of the G8, will certainly begin to teach his democracy again.
And he is not a whipping boy for them. He is an adult man, an athlete, a security officer with experience abroad. And, by the way, the president of the country, who knows much better than the whole world democratic “rabble”, which, sick, is good, and what is bad.
Dips and betrayal began with the advent of Angel Merkel in Germany, continued with the coming to power Romano Prodi and Nicolas Sarkozy in Italy and France. Not to mention the “rot” of the departed Blaire, a filthy story with Litvinenko’s poisoning in London (either Berezovsky, or Mi6, or “Tamil Ilami’s liberation” from Sri Lanka) ... and Bush’s exclamations: “What are you doing, my friend!”
Why did Jacques Shirak, Gerhard Schreder and Silvio Berlusconi never occurred to “build” his parliaments or, in the end, give them money to stay for at least one more time? How can Bush afford to leave in such a difficult time? Stupids and panties, misunderstanding the need for the continuity of the political line in their countries!
He, Putin, should now be one for all of them. To think how to continue the divorce of the prodigal European "rabbits", gradually returning to their Washington mother. He, Putin, is one with a neck, or his head, or with his hands (he forgot how it is supposed to be there), should convince the damned West of the correctness of the ideas of authoritarian “democracy”, followed by the legitimization of the primary “accumulated” capital.
“Do not be afraid of us,” the Russian President calls after the launch of a new ballistic missile. She, according to Sergei Ivanov, one of his successors, overcome any pro. Apparently, this refers to the radar and ten unarmed bombers who are going to place the United States in the “sold” to Washington Poland and the Czech Republic.
“We are against!”, They shout from the Kremlin, straining the veins from rage and not paying attention to the tests of their mighty rocket. We will not allow you, ”they say loudly, not noticing the White House’s proposals about unprecedented cooperation with Russia under the Problem program in Europe (“ Non -White Paper ”, transferred to Moscow about two months ago).
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently reported this unquestioned position of the Kremlin to the attention of Secretary of State Condolisia Rice, almost accusing Washington at the beginning of the new arms race.
... No one is afraid of our missiles and no one needs to break the strategic balance. Firstly, because there is no balance of this between Russia and the United States, and has never been. That is, polite words about its observance by the White House were pronounced, but nothing more. You can’t have a military balance with those who have almost nothing take off, and if it rises into the air, it flies not at all where they want. Quite in the USSR, where the most protected secret was the almost complete helplessness of the country before the Star Wars program Ronald Reagan. Do not believe, ask those who worked on a harsh answer to the "American aggressors." They will tell you that one of the options for the blinding of the staff satellites who follow the Soviet missiles was an explosion of small atomic charges near their own launching mines ...
Secondly, it will not occur to anyone in the West with Russia. Just because it is not clear why this is needed. The West, with all its real, and not far-fetched shortcomings in the Kremlin (such as “imperialism” or “unipolar world” and other nonsense), will not go to Moscow, Napoleon or Hitler. He, the West, does not want to get stuck in the swamps and freeze in the snow. He does not need to use nuclear weapons next to his borders. He, the West, is not an idiot and not a monster, and it is possible to scare them only by himself, and even a part of the dark population, covered by the attack of nationalism.
The West, including the United States, is trying to reassure and agree with Putin, Ivanov, Medvedev, and at least with the devil sitting on the throne of the collapsed Soviet empire and the nonexistent Russian. The West does not want to see aggressive Russia, which, thanks to the current policy of the Kremlin, uses any opportunity to put a boxer at the door, and then run away from there, screaming the surroundings with a cry of his own great power. I do not think that Washington and Europe will succeed. Relations of George Bush and Vladimir Putin clearly showed that the road to hell was paved with good intentions. I think that the president of the United States and his currently working pairs of the administration, which now works, will be able to once again see this first in Germany, and then in Kennennbancopt on July 1-2 of this year. However, a rake and exist in order to constantly step on them. The advantage of Vladimir Putin over the same George Bush is obvious even to those who do not see very well in the dark. Mr. Bush will be able to leave the cynical Washington to Texas, under the exclamations of part of the population, offending for him, and Putin must remain a real political player in Russia, at least out of a sense of his own security. Therefore, George Bush’s business trip to the White House almost ended, and Vladimir Putin’s registration in the Kremlin hated by him will be extended in one way or another.
PS. It may be those who in 1999 persuaded Mr. Putin to change President Yeltsin should fulfill the sincere desire of the current head of Russia and make it the president of Gazprom. And the world would be slightly calmer, and the sedative could be a little saved.
