Putin’s Return

Возвращение Путина

 

I do not know whether the talks, Lavrov and Kerry regarding the settlement of the conflict in Syria has had such an effect, whether the meeting of Putin and Theresa may at the recent G20 summit had an impact on perception, but the British newspaper the Times once published an article impregnated with poison about Russia and Vladimir Putin.

In short: Putin is back on the horse. However, it is unclear why the British decided that he was off.

According to journalists, The Times, Russia has once again set the tone in the international arena. How she managed to Dodge the predicted isolation, sanctions and even to regain the trust of the world community? The Russian military operation in Syria, which has put everything in its place and it is clearly explained: the fact that the US spend too much time for a long time, Russia could make for a much shorter period of time, modestly and without pathos, giving hope for ending the protracted war and hurting American pride.

Pursing his lips, the Americans had to negotiate with Moscow the documents which will: a) delineate the areas of operation of Russian air force and the US air force; b) to ensure humanitarian access in Aleppo; C) to create a joint center for the delineation of the opposition and terrorists.

In conclusion, the publication praised the restraint (!) the tactics of Moscow, which works on both inner well-being and increasing influence abroad. But another British newspaper New Statesman wrote: “If there were a Nobel prize for political maneuvering, Putin would deserve it”. It’s nice when good policy is valued on merit, but such a sharp turn in the evaluation of Russian actions makes guard: I do not puts us another pig?

The events of recent years clearly showed how duplicitous can be the Western world. Or the summit of “big twenty” on which Vladimir Putin managed to turn the talks with the leaders of ten countries and one Prime Minister, reminded the world who is who?
