All can be understood, even Putin.
Well, judge for yourself. The Soviet Union was first selected from the ex-officer of the KGB. Then, without exception, the state of the former Warsaw Treaty, as well as the three republics of the former USSR, went to NATO with a drill step and with songs. And after, when he already became the president of Russia, Georgia reached out in the same direction, and in Ukraine there was an orange revolution inspired by Western patterns and dreams of the European future.
Meanwhile, completely different examples and samples are faced with his eyes.
Vova for four years, when our tanks and aviation save Hungarians from the fascist coup. The initiative of Volodya 16, when he, with a feeling, as we guess, will find out deep satisfaction about the fraternal assistance provided to the Czechoslovak people. “Never,” he reads in the newspaper Pravda, “will not be allowed to tear out a single link from the Commonwealth of Socialist States,” and these bright words are forever imprinted in the soul of an impressionable young man. But Vladimir is already 27 years old, he is successfully graduating from the Higher School of the KGB, and by the New Year he will find great joy. Our troops are introduced into Afghanistan so that, as you know, the Americans are not included there.
This is also called life experience. Not the son of difficult mistakes, but a guide to action. The experience learned from childhood, multiplied by the character. If you keep and not let go, bomb and press the tanks, then the number of friends and allies increases sharply. And if to arrange referendums and chew snot, then all friends and allies will scatter. In their homes, or even in strangers, with headquarters in Brussels.
In this sense, the invasion of the sovereign Ukraine and the Sudeten type bordering with madness about the salvation of Russians in Crimea seems clear and deeply logical. Vladimir Vladimirovich not only in his own, Putinsky forth the largest geopolitical catastrophe of the past century and takes revenge for all the defeats of the post -Soviet years. He puts into life and death personal, deeply suffered thoughts about the structure of the world. The simple thoughts that he once expressed aloud: about Comrade Wolf, who eats and does not listen to anyone. Then I was in mind America, and this, partly invented by him, and to even a greater extent tsarist Russia and the Stalinist, Khrushchev, Brezhnev USSR, he imitates today. For under the wing of America the peoples are striving, and they flee from Russia.
In addition, Putin has a bomb. That is, nuclear weapons and missile troops, which are the main argument in the discussion about the Russians pursued in Ukraine. The President of the Russian Federation is not to you Saddam, who could be driven from Kuwait to Baghdad himself, cheering up from the air. Not Chauserka, not Miloshevich, not Gaddafi, not Hitler - the list can be read for a long time. Exactly for this, Putin respects Stalin, who, as proved by British scientists, accepted the country with Sohu, and left with a bomb that inspires a sense of correctness and impunity.
That is why humanity, which is now observing the human rights operation in the Crimea, is immersed in severe thoughts, and Vladimir Vladimirovich, on the contrary, is cheerful and optimistic. And if anything poisons a feeling of geopolitical muscle joy, it is probably regret that he was not headed by the Soviet Union at the beginning of the damned 90s. He would not let anyone go from the fraternal family of peoples.
However, Putin was not lucky with the era, and the circle of his imperial claims is very limited. Transnistria, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, now the Crimea and East of Ukraine. But these days he feels like all the Kremlin kings at the same time, collecting Russian lands by the power of weapons. But he is again in the spotlight, as during the Georgian War, and everyone wants to talk to him: Obama, and Pan Gi Moon, Hollande, and Merkel. So he is eager for his geopolitical complexes, strengthening in the minds of innocence.
He is mistaken in another, and these are two difficult mistakes at once: political and historical.
Firstly, the civilized world these days begins to perceive him as the most dangerous person on the planet - where is the deceased Saddam or always living Kim in all his hypostas. Putin Russia is becoming the main problem for humanity, and when Obama threatens his Kremlin partner with an payback for the occupation of Ukraine is not empty words. The West has a lot of levers of impact on scumbags, and among them they are very painful, for example, economic properties. This is quite soon possible to feel the so -called Putin elites, storing both wealth and their heart in foreign banks. As Ukrainian events showed, this kind of impact is very effective and fraught with the most unpleasant consequences for the leaders of the nation. Up to the palace coup.
Secondly, and in-main, the same historical experience indicates that coercion of friendship in foreign policy always turns out to be disobedient for the occupier. Let not immediately, sometimes in decades, but friends scatter, trying to take refuge where they can be protected with the same bomb. Actually, therefore, they flee at the first opportunity and at such a speed that for a long time, unbearably for a long time suffered humiliation and silently saved hatred, suffering from someone else's yoke.
All can be understood, even Putin, but it is much easier these days to understand Ukrainians who, longing and pain, observe how foreign troops enter their country. Moreover, these feelings are experienced not only by the Westernists or Kievans, but also by Crimeans, and millions of inhabitants of the eastern regions, whom Putin's Russia plunged into the painful expectation of a large war. Promising help in return, which they do not need. Flapped on his disasters, the President of the Russian Federation for many decades poisons the relations of two truly close peoples, tearing the fraternal bonds, and for this the Russians will someday curse him.
