In the latest edition of “Hurt”, a leading TV channel “Zvezda”, the Explorer Nikolai Petrov talks about the Russophobia in NATO.
Nikolai Petrov: lately I have the feeling that if someone, whether on the West or Ukraine or even in Russia begins to suffer severe Russophobia, he immediately dies, some important part of the brain, and the space between your ears is filled with spongy material that blocks as logical thinking and the ability to control voice flows.
Not to mention the ability to identify causal relationships. But then, of course, we need experts-physiologists, pocket scanner for instrumental confirmation of the death of the brain Russophobe, alas, have not. But some things are visible to the naked eye. Here, judge for yourself.
There is such a NATO General Petr Pavel. It’s not two names. Is the name of Peter, and the name Paul. Czech General, now occupying a fairly high position in the Alliance, that is Russophobe positions, seems to live with the idea that state sovereignty is a crumpled piece of paper, and the Russian Federation on command from Brussels, obliged to stand at attention and clicks his heels. Here judge for yourself.
“The Russian side must withdraw its decision on recognition of independence of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. On Thursday, during the visit of NATO representatives in Tbilisi, said the Chairman of the Military Committee of the organization of Petr Pavel. According to the Czech General, NATO intends to cooperate with Moscow in the sphere of ensuring the security of the Black sea”.
Consider the words of the cooperation duty with the NATO formula is a kind of politeness. The main thing here is the word “should”. Don’t know about you, but I don’t like statements that begin with “Russia”. So, through the lip “Russia should”. And these statements about the fact that Russia, the West should do, the last time was too much. And every time you want to answer the known phrase: “do not specify what Russia needs to do, and then we won’t tell you where you should go.”
Anyway, demanding something from the other, pronouncing the magic formula “Russia”, NATO ought to start with yourself. Maybe at first the European countries should withdraw, for example, the recognition of Kosovo’s independence? To call the bombing that killed 1700 civilians, mostly Serbs, including nearly 400 children – a crime. To apologize, and even better to start to pay and repent. The answer, of course, we hear that the alleged NATO to prevent the genocide of Kosovar Albanians? Isn’t the Russian peacekeepers stopped the attempt of the Georgian army, incidentally, drawn up by NATO instructors, slightly otgenotsidit the population of South Ossetia? By the way, NATO ironed Yugoslavia for 78 days. Russia in 2008 stopped the warriors Saakashvili just five.
If now NATO generals in the person of Peter Paul believe that the independence of Abkhazia and South Ossetia – it’s like that toothpaste that can and need to push back the Georgian tube, such an example of a particular mindset is very revealing.
The program “Touched” on the TV channel “Zvezda” is a personal opinion and honest conversation about what really hurt the presenter and Explorer Nikolai Petrov.
