Putin aims to Divide and Conquer

You think the United States can be conquered?

It depends of weapon How do you think about someone like this:

Have you ever heard the saying, "Dogs have masters, but cats have staff!"

Other than that, I don't see what that has to do with what I said.

Ukraine was a country which got independence from the Soviet with a clearly defined border and which included Krim and its eastern region.

First lies of your propaganda. In January 1991 Crimea had referendum for creation of autonomous Crimea Republic, like a subject of USSR. But local Ukrainian authorities in February ignored results of this referendum, in-fact, annexed Crimea back to Ukraine. It was ANNEXATION OF CRIMEA BY UKRAINE. SO, then were a several steps, where Ukraine forced Crimean citizens to accept Ukrainian citizenship, they cancelled Crimea president, destroyed Crimea parlament and so on.

So, Crimea people now know, there are no inrenational law in Europe, except brute force. It's logically, they asked to defend Crimea population from nazi aggression - and got it.

If you want to back to lafwul solution - Ukraine is third in a queue, after Osman Empire )

They are Ukrainian citizens.

Lies of Western propaganda. Acts of March 1995 year of cancelling Crimea autonomous status were accepted with a violation of international law. They are not valid, so Crimean citizens didn't have Ukrainian citizenship anywhere...

It is against international law for Russia to annex Crimea and foment civil war in eastern Ukraine.

Ukraine annexed Crimea first. Why don't you start to defend "international law" from Ukraine, heh? )

It is pitiful that the Russians have not yet learned to talk instead of making war.

How double-faced )) Every Russian knosw, Europeans are a beasts, which don't ruled by laws, don't keep agreements and understand only brute force. If someone has a doubts - they just have to look on Crimea, where EU propaganda ignores ALL law considerations, on Donetsk, where EU commitee corrupted by nazi, continuing to murdering civilians, and on Baltic countries, where NATO increasing naval forces.... Will YOU believe to EU, being Russian?

I think you must read the government newspapers and TV in Russia.
I do not see anything in what you write that resembles truth.

I think govermnent newspapers and TV in Russia can lie, as in other countries. Don't be a zombie, let's discuss a FACTS. Starting with it:

wiki: Crimean sovereignty referendum, 1991 - Wikipedia

So, question, really interesting to me. Will YOU believe to EU, being Russian?

I agree with what the European media reported about the Russian annexation of Crimea. It was illegal, not how things should be done.

Please, ask my question, I'm trying to ask you third time. Will YOU believe to EU, being Russian? Just imagine what do you want, and tell.

I do not see room for Russia in the European Union. Perhaps Kaliningrad could be incorporated into Germany as Königsberg.

Vladimir Putin learned well as he trained to be a KGB agent how to find a weakness in his opponents and exploit it. An example is how he is managing the European Union parts of which rely on Russia for energy, such as Germany. He knows Germany and the Germans well, having been a secret agent in Dresden when Angela Merkel, who speaks fluent Russian, lived in the Deutsche Demokratische Republik (DDR).

Putin in Dresden mid-1980s

In 1989 the wall in Berlin came down and the people in Dresden were feeling that their nationalism was in the ascent. The mob moved on the Ministry for State Security (Stasi) and then headed across the road to the KGB headquarters but before they could enter they were met by Vladimir Putin who told them that his men were armed and had permission to shoot. The small crowd left. Putin was seeing a type of German nationalism which was discouraged in the DDR under the thumb of Moscau. He left Germany and returned to Leningrad which people even there were beginning to call St. Petersburg. Like East Germany, nationalism was on the rise in the imploding Soviet Union. Putin saw first hand what this people power can do and he put his future in it with the contacts he had made with other KGB agents from Dresden. They are all now directors of former Soviet industries, now privatized and whose wealth goes into the pockets of Putin and pals.

Putin hates the European Union (EU) which has imposed hurting sanctions on Russia for invading Ukraine and annexing Crimea. EU member states in the east were under Soviet rule and, like East Germany, they have put their future into a partnership of nations but they are nervous of Russia. The Baltic states have native Russian speakers and Putin might just make a move. Poland and Hungary too throw a glance at Russia and wonder. Putin knows the weakness of the Europeans is their nationalism and he will work on this to pull asunder the EU just as it did in the DDR. The racism which is fundamental to nationalism can be exploited so that individual members who are rejecting the EU in favor of their own sense of identity as distinct from neighbors and better without them. Putin must be overjoyed that Britain is about to leave the EU (Brexit) and what a gift Donald Trump has given him by declaring that Nato is obsolete and he likes Putin.

This will be how the Kremlin will undermine the EU, making individual relationships with European nationalists, picking them off one at a time. This week Heinz-Christian Strache, Austria's far right leader has signed an alliance with President Putin's United Russia party and has offered to act as a go-between for the Kremlin and Donal Trump. Well, what do you know, the birthplace of Aryan nationalist, Adolf Hitler, Austria's neo-Nazis might just be next to have an exit.

Heinz-Christian Strache leader of Austria's Freedom Party signed a co-operation agreement with Sergei Zheleznyak, United Russia's deputy leader who is subject to travel bans and asset freezes by the EU.

You think the United States can be conquered? We have enough nukes to kill the population of the entire planet 37 times, yet you think we are in danger? Do I need to remind you, we're the ones who kicked Germany's ass?

The United States can be conquered from within. It is already happening.

Ha-ha! Wonderful!

Russia don't need to be in EU (and have their non-conservative values )). I'm asking you - could be EU a good neighbour, open to dialog?

You considered variants: 1. to eat Russia, 2. to cut Kaliningrad from Russia and eat it. And NO MORE variants, except this two, aggressive against Russia! You don't even consider any variant of peaceful co-existance with Russia!!!

And after it you talking about "Russian aggression"... )))

Russia was quick to take advantage of Ukraine's two weaknesses.
Firstly, Ukraine agreed to give-up its nuclear weapons of mass destruction on the promise from Russia that it would respect its territory.
Secondly, Ukraine took too long in joining NATO.

Agree with you on that point, USA was conquered from within by the financial oligarchy, by international banksters with double citizenship. That is why USA is involved in crazy wars, but cannot protect own boarders, and the founding population of the USA is being replaced by migrants from the Third World.

At the moment the founding population of the USA is trying to reconquer their country, Trump seems to support this process, he promised to drain the swamp in Washington.

But Trump has to kiss the ass of the Israel Lobby, too, and that shows who the reals masters are.

Well, in medieval times the land was inherited by the ruling dynasty. The throne passed from father to son.
The Kievan Rus was created by Rurik, he was a Viking.
His descendants had the right to call themselves Tsars.
They moved their capital many times, after Kiev it was Moscow, after Moscow it was Sankt Petersburg.
As you said, Kievan Rus was destroyed, speak there were no rulers from Rurik's dynasty any more who lived in Kiev.
And that is precicely the reason why Ukraine became a province: Украина = Окраина. There was still old Russian population, but they were peasants, ruled by Polish pans.

As far as I know, Ivan Grozny was the latest (or so) representative of the Rurik dynasty. A Romanov dynasty later took the power in their hands.

Yes, because Bolsheviks needed the support of separatists, they used the divide and conquer tactics against the Tsar. They supported the minorities against the majority, and created new identities, like Ukrainians.

I don’t know whether Bolsheviks can be ‘blamed’ for that. The descendants of immigrants from Western Ukraine (in contemporary terms) who moved to North America long before Bolsheviks took the power also call themselves Ukrainians.

Well, that depends from the region of Ukraine. There is no sharp boarder between the Ukraine and today RF, because this boarder is an artificial boarder. It is obvious that some parts of Ukraine did not feel like remaining in a state that is hostile to Russia. They may just become an independent state, say Tavria or New Russia. And the people of the Crimean Peninsula have a Russian identity, that is a fact.

Well, I have to admit that it would be fairer to organize an all-Ukrainian referendum in 2014 where each Ukrainian region would have a right to decide whether to remain in Ukraine or to join Russia or something else. Why this didn’t happen is quite obvious – the Ukrainian authorities (or junta as you prefer to call them) knew that Ukraine would have to accept that several southern and eastern oblasts would want to secede from it.

It is theoretically possible to divide Ukraine on three parts. But I don’t think that Ukrainian neighbors (including Russia) would want to realize it in practice. I have already written about that.

The European Union (EU) is concerned about Ukraine because the Russians annexed Crimea and is fomenting civil war in eastern Ukraine. Ukraine has a border with the EU (Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, and Romania) which has good relations with its neighbor. We see Russia acting illegally there which means it can do the same with us.

The policy of the Russian Federation is to annex territory where Russian-speakers live. Russian is widely used in EU states which were part of the Soviet Union. Russian is the native language of about 1.6 million Baltic Russians residing in Latvia, Estonia, and Lithuania as well as a sizable community of about 3.5 millions in Germany and as a major immigrant language elsewhere in the EU. Russian is also understood by a majority of ethnic Latvians, Estonians, and Lithuanians born before c. 1980, since, as official language of the Soviet Union, it was a compulsory school subject in those countries during the Soviet era. To a lesser extent, this legacy also holds true among the older generation in parts of the EU that were formerly part of the Eastern bloc, such as the German Democratic Republic. If the EU Russian foreign policy of uniting all Russian-speakers then we have a potential threat to peace in Europe.

The crucial point is that Ivan Grozny was ruling Russia from Moscow, not from Kiev.

I don’t know whether Bolsheviks can be ‘blamed’ for that. The descendants of immigrants from Western Ukraine (in contemporary terms) who moved to North America long before Bolsheviks took the power also call themselves Ukrainians.

Bolsheviks supported these separatists, who were a minority.

Well, I have to admit that it would be fairer to organize an all-Ukrainian referendum in 2014 where each Ukrainian region would have a right to decide whether to remain in Ukraine or to join Russia or something else.

I think that Russia does not have any intentions to incorporate the destroyed parts of Ukraine into the RF, the Crimean Peninsula was just an exception, because in this region there is a very clear ethnic and cultural situation.

Russia just wants a friendly neighbour, and how can any honest human being blame Russia for that?

 

[Art__Allm]

You missed the salient point that the Third Reich moved into Czechoslovakia to unite the German speakers to the Reich.

First of all you have to say former Czechoslovakia, because this state does not exist any more, it could only exist as a Communist dictatorship.
Besides that I have shown you the historical timeline of the events.
Western powers agreed to the reunification of German lands that were given to this artificiallly created state (Czechoslovakia) in Versailles.

In the Munich Agreement of September 30, 1938, the major European powers allowed German troops to occupy the Sudetenland, for the sake of "peace for our time".
Events preceding World War II in Europe - Wikipedia

As we see, there was an AGREEMENT, there was nothing illegal in Sudentenland becoming part of Germany, the western powers just realised that the treaty of Versailles was unjust and discriminated Germans.

So why do you repeat this BS about Hitler invading Sudenland?
Are you unable to understand simple English texts?

And Czechoslovakia collapsed a day before German troops invaded what was once Czechoslovakia. Slovaks were oppressed by the Czechs, and they declared their independence.

Here is another quote from Wiki:

On March 14 Slovakia declared its independence under Jozef Tiso, which was recognized by France, Britain and other important powers.
Events preceding World War II in Europe - Wikipedia

Is it rocket science to understand this simple text?
Slovakia declared its independence, France and Britain recognised this new state. So is it not clear from this text that Czechoslovakia did not exist after March 14, there remained only Czechia.

How could Hitler invade Czechoslovakia, if this state did not exist any more?

How retarded must somebody be stubbornly talking about the invasion of a state that did not exist any more?

BTW, Slovaks are today an independent state, eventually. The restoration of this artificial state after WWII was a failure, this state could only exist as long, as the Communist dictatorship existed.

I have proven my points with facts, people can do their own research and find out the truth.

This is what Putin is doing with Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

Putin does not do anything to the Eastern Ukraine, if he Russian state really helped the freedom fighters there, the Junta in Kiev would have been already finished.

What to the Crimean Peninsula - this was a Republic with special rights, including the right to separate from Ukraine, this right was written in the Ukrainian constitution, that was abolished by the Junta, brought to power via a violent Putsch, sponsored by Soros and the Obama administration.

So who are the bad guys? Obviously Killary and Co.

I do not see room for Russia in the European Union. Perhaps Kaliningrad could be incorporated into Germany as Königsberg.

I don't see where it's any of our business what other country's do.

You missed the salient point that the Third Reich moved into Czechoslovakia to unite the German speakers to the Reich.

First of all you have to say former Czechoslovakia, because this state does not exist any more, it could only exist as a Communist dictatorship.
Besides that I have shown you the historical timeline of the events.
Western powers agreed to the reunification of German lands that were given to this artificiallly created state (Czechoslovakia) in Versailles.

In the Munich Agreement of September 30, 1938, the major European powers allowed German troops to occupy the Sudetenland, for the sake of "peace for our time".

As we see, there was an AGREEMENT, there was nothing illegal in Sudentenland becoming part of Germany, the western powers just realised that the treaty of Versailles was unjust and discriminated Germans.

So why do you repeat this BS about Hitler invading Sudenland?
Are you unable to understand simple English texts?

And Czechoslovakia collapsed a day before German troops invaded what was once Czechoslovakia. Slovaks were oppressed by the Czechs, and they declared their independence.

Here is another quote from Wiki:

On March 14 Slovakia declared its independence under Jozef Tiso, which was recognized by France, Britain and other important powers.

Is it rocket science to understand this simple text?
Slovakia declared its independence, France and Britain recognised this new state. So is it not clear from this text that Czechoslovakia did not exist after March 14, there remained only Czechia.

How could Hitler invade Czechoslovakia, if this state did not exist any more?

How retarded must somebody be stubbornly talking about the invasion of a state that did not exist any more?

BTW, Slovaks are today an independent state, eventually. The restoration of this artificial state after WWII was a failure, this state could only exist as long, as the Communist dictatorship existed.

I have proven my points with facts, people can do their own research and find out the truth.

This is what Putin is doing with Crimea and eastern Ukraine.

Putin does not do anything to the Eastern Ukraine, if he Russian state really helped the freedom fighters there, the Junta in Kiev would have been already finished.

What to the Crimean Peninsula - this was a Republic with special rights, including the right to separate from Ukraine, this right was written in the Ukrainian constitution, that was abolished by the Junta, brought to power via a violent Putsch, sponsored by Soros and the Obama administration.

So who are the bad guys? Obviously Killary and Co.

You are correct about the western powers appeasing the bully in 1936 but we will not allow Putin to push his weight around European democracies even if he is a friend of the new so-called president of the USA.
