Statesman Georgy Muradov — about new acts of aggression of NATO against the Russian world
The NATO summit in Warsaw called themselves Atlanticists historical event having a large value to prevent conflicts and wars.”
Sneaking up with its military infrastructure closer and closer to the heart of Russia, its major cities, industrial and military centers, NATO step, albeit small, tentative steps, “red lines” defined by the agreements between Russia and NATO.
They seem to probe the soil, stepping on a minefield: endure Moscow new assault on her safety? What happens if you ignore her repeated calls to avoid provocations? While loudly running machine messages and the lulling of the Russian and world public opinion: “the Alliance does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia” NATO “continues to count on constructive cooperation with Russia.”
However, it is very telling caveat — “as soon as Russia’s actions will make this dialogue possible.” This clause makes meaningless all assurances of commitment to dialogue. As a condition for it extends our rejection of the Crimea and the complete loss of the Donbass.
However, a deeper analysis adopted in Warsaw documents and made at the summit of the statements leads to a number of interesting conclusions.
Today, NATO will intensify its activities directed against our compatriots in the Baltic States.
We must realize that we are talking about a well-prepared second after Ukraine act of aggression against the Russian world — this age-old civilization that emerged in Eastern Europe and Northern Asia.
In Brussels refuse to hear the opinion of our President that the Russian people became the largest divided nation in the world. There deaf to calls to stop massive violations of rights of Russian-speaking community in Latvia and Estonia. While they are really afraid of the precedent of the Crimea, which became a catalyst for the unity of the Russian world.
At the last NATO summit not only once again turned a blind eye to the outrageous facts of violation of basic rights of the indigenous Russian and Russian-speaking population living in the former Soviet Union, including the Baltic countries of NATO, but decided to enter in these countries your army to demoralize and break the will of the subjected to discrimination part of the Russian world. Recall that in Latvia and Estonia about one third of the population — our compatriots. Hundreds of thousands of them are deprived of basic civil, political, economic, social rights and received the status of so-called non-citizens.
By 2017, contrary to the European conventions regulating the rights of national minorities, would be virtually destroyed the education system in the Russian language, which is not considered regional even in places of compact residing of the Russian-speaking population. According to the criteria of the OSCE and the European Union, in Latvia and Estonia there are about 70 points in the mass violations of their civil rights. Even, to put it mildly, not too sympathetic to Russia, the American press notes that “if the NATO countries were really interested in maintaining stability in the Baltic States, instead of sending combat troops, they concentrate on issues such as the attitude of local authorities towards the Russian-speaking population and effective integration of national minorities”.
Against this background, at least look ridiculous allegations of “discrimination of the Crimean Tatars’ contained in the Warsaw Declaration of NATO. The Crimean Tatar community makes up 13-14% of the total population of the Peninsula. And do not forget that the Crimean Tatars received the most extensive rights only after the return of the Crimea to Russia. Along with Russian and Ukrainian Crimean Tatar language is recognized as one of the three official languages of the Republic. It is used in teaching at all levels of education — from preschool to upper secondary; published in numerous print publications, working TV and radio channels on the Crimean-Tatar language. In Crimea there are hundreds of mosques. Begins design and construction of the temple of the mosque in Simferopol. Allocated billions of rubles on the restoration of the material rights of deportees in the years of the great Patriotic war, the Crimean Tatars. All authorities at the highest post of work of the Crimean Tatars.
If NATO made a private members — Latvia and Estonia — to provide our countrymen the same rights that were given to the Tatars of the Crimea, the “Russian question” in the Baltic States would not be.
For Russia, the entry of NATO troops in the Baltic States is not just a test of strength. This is an attempt to discredit one of the most attractive historical features of the state’s ability to protect his fellows. They say “do not throw their Russian”.
Thus, the “small” NATO contingents are big geopolitical provocation, a double challenge — both for the security of Russia and for preservation, saving our Russian world. In this regard, we should not forget about some of the American experts, who from the pages of respectable publications have warned that “to begin preparations for war with Russia, the United States and NATO launched into motion forces that ultimately can lead to precisely this result.”
From the foregoing the conclusion is: the closer to the presidential elections in Russia in 2018, the aggressiveness of our Western “partners” will grow not only in our country but for the entire Russian world. It is not excluded that we will have to go through a new version of the “Caribbean crisis”. In this regard, the collective West must know that all answers, not only military and political but also the mobilization plans of the economy we have at the ready. Wait until some next “Anaconda-2017” will begin to choke us, Russian world will not.
