Russia behaves wrong. The authorities underestimate the danger of what is happening around Skripal's poisoning. It is necessary to cooperate with the British, proving their non -involvement in the terrorist attack in Salisbury. No need, brutally playing with nodules, mocking them.
In this spirit, appealing to the mind of rulers and reading a moral sermon to them, today some rather informed Russian citizens are expressed, connecting opposition beliefs and respectableness in their speeches. Well, in fact, why are they so rude in dialogues with the West, all of our political figures, from Putin and Kiselev to the last paid blogger? After all, you can express yourself softer, and act more smartly. Not trying to unite even those who were not going to send Russian diplomats from their country yesterday.
However, it is difficult to agree with aware, opposition and respectable. Perhaps they are mistaken, allowing a serious psychological miscalculation. Regardless of what is involved in the leadership and special services of the Russian Federation to poison the former GRU Colonel Sergei Skripal and his daughter Julia or is not involved.
If Vladimir Vladimirovich and his Chekists have nothing to do with it, then how to not understand and not share their indignation with an arrogant bite from Teresa May and her minions. Insulted, you see, innocence should look like that they all look from Putin and Kiselev to the next paid blogger, denouncing provocateurs and Russophobes. They burn with anger, they burst with anger, they mock, they arrange scenes - and this idea should cause the deepest trust among the audience. Slandered only so and behave.
If the national leader and officials subordinate to him are guilty of various departments, then they should not make any complaints and do not have to remember about morality here. Especially in the case when, in addition to the murder of the traitor, the customer also set other, more important goals. For example, a sharp exacerbation of relations with Europe and America amid the grandiose success in terms of Russia's preparation for the Third World War. As well as the preventive intimidation of potential fractures from the FSB and GRU, the number of which is precisely in connection with the mentioned grandiose successes can increase at times - there, after all, not everyone agrees to actively contribute to the destruction of life on Earth. If a multi -way was played out, one of the elements of which was a demonstration of insulted feelings.
Then the evasive, as a rule, is simply obliged to talk about "unprecedented rudeness" and "bordering, probably with banditry" the behavior of our respected partners. So he says, and there is no need to tell him and many other Russian politicians and press secretaries that they play with fire. For it is precisely this game without rules that is now very popular among those who are directly leading it, and those who explain the actions of the authorities. A considerable part of the population, as the elections showed, also joined it with excitement.
A separate question is that the West can contrast such a game.
In the short term, it is clear that. Solidarity with the British, which was already partly manifested at a meeting of the leaders of the European Union countries, where it was decided to recall the EU Ambassador, and in determination of many, following London, send Russian diplomats. As for the long -term prospects, Europe is hardly possible to operate effectively without a traditional look at America. As unpredictable today as Putin's Russia, but with the difference that Putin in Brussel is used to expect only dirty things, and from Trump, in principle, it is incomprehensible to expect.
It is possible, for example, that he will take advantage of the situation to try to push the penalty duties for Europe with impunity on the import of steel and aluminum in the United States - in exchange for solidarity with Great Britain. It is possible that he will be refused and, having hidden resentment, will support NATO allies, but at the same time he will remain a very unreliable ally. It is possible that soon and suddenly Trump will meet with Putin in order to solve world problems - to the joy of the Kremlin, to the horror of Europeans. Nothing is excluded when the policy is performed by the bankrupt-deigne, who imagines himself a great man.
So European leaders have to act extremely neatly. Making steps the necessary, but also given the different coming circumstances, such as the likely Russian multi -way and incredible chaos, which is happening in the head of the American president. Trying to calculate what the wounded Putin is plotting into the very heart and what tricky geopolitical combinations are invented by the duplicate Trump. It is impossible to calculate all this to the end, you can’t even predict the next move.
Nevertheless, there is nowhere to go, since the terrorist attack in Salisbury does not leave a large space for maneuver. The responses from Russia, very upsetting some of our idealists, either cunning under masks of dreamers and romantics, also do not leave Europeans the slightest chance of a reasonable dialogue with the Kremlin. Too there, in Moscow the first and other officials have been excited in order to hope for a quick and worthy completion of the conflict. Yes, and the war, in fairness called cold, has been going on for too long, warming up a month after a month to feed empty hopes. And in war, as in war, and the feelings of the enemy gradually begin to overwhelm both Europeans and Americans.
