The Russian bear is back on stage

by @ 1:12 pm. filed under Russia, USA

Is the political Washington so occupied with their own numbers out of Madame DC’s 10,000-phone-numbers-list, that it didn’t remark the historical switch of change in the global political situation? On February, 10th, 2007, the Russian president Vladimir Putin hold a speech in Munich, where he told the USA and the rest of the world, that Russia will head for an independent foreign policy. It seems, that nobody in Washington did understand, what this meant.

The CIA station Radio Free Europe reports that Gordon Johndroe, the spokesman for the National Security Council, said the White House was “surprised and disappointed.” U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates is even cited in the same article joking about Putin’s Munich speech as an old spies blunt speaking in response.

In the meantime it shows up, that it was a big mistake not to take Vladimir Putin’s well prepared speech at this high profiled conference for serious, though Vladimir Putin’s words were much more clear and direct as the usual pleasant but empty diplomatic terms:

However, what is a unipolar world? However one might embellish this term, at the end of the day it refers to one type of situation, namely one centre of authority, one centre of force, one centre of decision-making.

It is world in which there is one master, one sovereign. And at the end of the day this is pernicious not only for all those within this system, but also for the sovereign itself because it destroys itself from within.

And this certainly has nothing in common with democracy. Because, as you know, democracy is the power of the majority in light of the interests and opinions of the minority.

Incidentally, Russia – we – are constantly being taught about democracy. But for some reason those who teach us do not want to learn themselves.

Do these words sound like a joke? Then just listen what Vladimir Putin told about the OSCE:

We see that this balance is clearly destroyed. People are trying to transform the OSCE into a vulgar instrument designed to promote the foreign policy interests of one or a group of countries. And this task is also being accomplished by the OSCE’s bureaucratic apparatus which is absolutely not connected with the state founders in any way. Decision-making procedures and the involvement of so-called non-governmental organisations are tailored for this task. These organisations are formally independent but they are purposefully financed and therefore under control.

Do these words spoken out by the leader of one of the worlds nuclear super powers sound like something to joke about? Then read this:

Russia is a country with a history that spans more than a thousand years and has practically always used the privilege to carry out an independent foreign policy.

We are not going to change this tradition today.

This was not less than the announcement, that Russia will start following an independent foreign policy again. The Russian bear is back on the political stage. What does this mean?

As Vladimir Putin was not taken serious by leading US and New Europe’s politicians and nobody of them has a problem to breach older agreement’s with Russia, Vladimir Putin stressed his serious words in the last week a bit and suspended the “Adapted Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe“, which was broken by Western politics in many times anyway.

Hello, anybody home in Washington? Did you remark that the US just lost their new dependency in the Ukraine due to a counter revolution? Did you remark riots in Estonia broadly supported by news in TV broadcasted from Russia? How does it come, that the US administration doesn’t fear Russia to deliver some effective weapons to the people’s resistance Al Basrah in Iraq?

And if so, how would the USA react to that? Will the USA ban computer sales to Russia like it was in cold war? Nobody thought about that the USA would first have to talk with China about such an idea? Or will the USA forbid Western Europe to buy gas and oil from Russia? Hugh, nice idea, shall the Western European countries buy more energy better in Iran or Venezuela then? OK, no more kidding. This was just to demonstrate how weak and isolated the USA is nowadays and that it would be a good idea for the USA to behave properly and follow the international rules described in the UN Charta.

What does it need to make the US administration in Washington listen to Vladimir Putin when he is speaking seriously about breached contracts and the essence of democracy? This newly awaked Russian bear doesn’t sound evil. And it can be a great support for people in the whole world demanding more fairness from the US administration.
