Surrender of Crimea

Crimea, to put it mildly, passed, and if they betrayed without abysses. With his annexation of Russia, everyone has reconciled and now they are only trying to keep his face. Putin perfectly understands this and therefore continues to increase the Russian military presence in the Crimea. He is not afraid of the western eloquence and even rigid rhetoric, mindful that the dog that has been sprinkled, but the one that bites. But these are not visible today. It seems that even Kyiv reconciled with the loss of Crimea.

Most of all, the general secretary of NATO, Anders Fog Rasmussen, noted, noted the "great restraint that the Ukrainian armed forces showed." He considers this to be the main advantage of the army - not combat effectiveness, not loyalty to the oath and military duty, not analytical abilities and strategic thinking, namely restraint in communicating with the enemy. “A cold head is the key to the de -escalation,” the NATO Secretary General emphasized. It is very sad if Mr. Rasmussen does not have other keys in conjunction.

Rasmussen not one pretends to seek the keys to de -escalation. All leading Western politicians are engaged in imitation of an adequate response to Russian aggression. They are reluctant to react to the devils to react, take responsibility and spoil long-term and favorable relations with Russia. But they can’t also react to the call of the Kremlin, so they are finished with inspired rhetoric, which would have sounded good yesterday. Today she is already muffled by the price.

British Prime Minister David Cameron bravely remarked: “Today, three things should be noted. First of all, it is necessary to make sure that Russia and Ukraine start negotiations. Secondly, we must show that we will help Ukrainians in need. Thirdly, we must send a signal to the Russian authorities that what happened, is unacceptable and should have consequences.”

OSCE Secretary General Lamberto Zanier said that the OSCE will "contribute to the political resolution of the current crisis through the dialogue." France President Francois Hollande clarified that it does not exclude the imposition of economic sanctions. German Chancellor Angela Merkel added that the European Union can freeze the assets of some Russian citizens if Russia does not begin political dialogue with the Ukrainian authorities. US President Barack Obama called on Putin to find a way of diplomatic resolution of the crisis in Ukraine, for which Moscow should enter into negotiations with the participation of international intermediaries.

It seems that dialogue and negotiations have become a manic idea for Western politicians. They beat her in every way, completely not considering that all these measures, not to mention the threats of their application, as a dead poultice. However, they must say to their voters that all possible measures of counteraction were taken. The fact that all the opposition of aggression is limited to rigid statements, says about the actual readiness to pass the Crimea.

A belated reaction is a conscious choice of politicians who are ready for defeat. Therefore, many of them, following the Kremlin propaganda, stubbornly repeat that the presence of Russian troops in Crimea has not been proven. This distortion of reality is quite consistent with the position of the West: we meet the threat of Russian invasion by the threat of sanctions.

Some Russian intellectuals were not connected to this game by no means from the Kremlin set. For example, rock musicians Maxim Leonidov, Boris Grebenshchikov, Vyacheslav Butusov and Yuri Shevchuk call not to allow war between Russia and Ukraine. It seems like there is no war yet, because it is not officially declared, and unknown, speaking Russian and to the teeth, armed with ultra -modern weapons, do not wear shoulder straps and chevrons. Who are they, God news.

What is the saddest, the new Ukrainian government is also involved in this game. The Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk, while in Brussels in negotiations with the leaders of the European Union, said that in the event of the intervention of foreign forces in the situation in Ukraine, the government and the Ukrainian army will operate in accordance with the Constitution.

My friends, wake up! Crimea has long been flooded with Russian troops - regular and assembled on the spot. Do you play uprift with Russia? While you pretend that there are no foreign forces in Ukraine and all issues with Russia can be resolved by negotiations (even negotiating groups are created for this!), These most missing forces seized the Crimean parliament, put at the head of the local government of the puppet prime minister, stopped broadcasting independent media, took all key civil objects and a number of military people.

It seems that Kyiv threw Ukrainian troops in the Crimea to the mercy of fate. They were ordered not to respond to provocation, that is, not to enter into a clash. This is worse than the order of surrender, because the military is true to the oath and do not surrender, but at the same time remain alone with the enemy and with their hands tied. In order not to "provoke" them! In fact, there are no provocations, and they are not needed. Russia occupies Crimea systematically and without a single shot. This is not a provocation, this is annexation.

Do not succumb to provocations - sounds beautiful. The path is not very peaceful, but without bloodshed. This is really important. But at the same time, it must be understood that Ukrainian sovereignty in Crimea will be lost. Crimea is already actually deduced from the jurisdiction of Kyiv. The central government does not control the situation on the peninsula. In the next few weeks, the annexation will end with a referendum imitation in the Crimea, the "Churovsky" vote count and the decision of the false Russian parliament on the accession of Crimea to Russia.

What will happen next? Putin will laugh in a fist, celebrating a bloodless military victory. In the Western capitals, a coordinated choir of unanimous indignation will sound for some time. In Kyiv, they will be proud that they did not succumb to provocation, and on geographical maps will continue to denote Crimea as Ukrainian territory.

Honestly, it is not at all sorry for those Crimeans who stopped around the Soviet stall and are so rapidly eager for degrading Russia. It is a pity of the Crimean Tatars, who won the right to live in their homeland with unprecedented victims, and now they will again fall under the new Soviet oppression. It is also a pity that those who will become the next victim of the imperial policy of Russia. There is no doubt that the Crimea Putin will not stop on the Crimea Peninsula. And if no one will answer the “provocations” and further, then the new conquests will be light, humane and not too costly. Until he rushes into oncoming power. Then he will get driving his tail and will be ready to dialog.
