Кисинджер про Россию/Украину

[ny_quant]

Breaking Russia has become objective for US.

The relationship between Ukraine and Russia will always have a special character in the Russian mind. It can never be limited to a relationship of two traditional sovereign states, not from the Russian point of view, maybe not even from Ukraine’s. So, what happens in Ukraine cannot be put into a simple formula of applying principles that worked in Western Europe.”

Kissinger lays the blame for sparking the conflict at the door of the EU, which proposed a trade deal in 2013, without considering how it would alienate Moscow, and divide the Ukrainian people.

Ukrainian domestic politics made it look impossible for [former Ukrainian president Viktor] Yanukovych to accept the EU terms and be reelected or for Russia to view them as purely economic

We should explore the possibilities of a status of nonmilitary grouping on the territory between Russia and the existing frontiers of NATO,” he told The National Interest. “The West hesitates to take on the economic recovery of Greece; it’s surely not going to take on Ukraine as a unilateral project.

Киссинджер врет всегда, но никогда бесцельно. В чем смысл этого текста, интересно, спровоцировать Путина? Так выглядит.

Я всегда считал, что целью экспансии НАТО к границам России было именно загнать Россию в стратегический угол.

Какие конкретно возражения по тексту?

У меня возражений нет; я просто, чисто по историческому опыту, знаю, что Киссинджер правду никогда не говорит, а всегда манипулирует очень профессионально. Всегда им восхищался.

Понравилось!
