Wiener Zeitung: the U.S. has decided to clear the Balkans from supporters of Russia
West suffered a policy of containment from the Ukraine to the Balkans, seeking to "cleanse" the region from Pro-Russian forces, writes in the explanation of the Austrian political scientist Stefan Haderer.
in Macedonia opposing political force makes all efforts to topple Premier Nikola Gruevski. This is strangely reminiscent of the scenario implemented in Ukraine, stressed the analyst. After all, here the story is about a country that no matter what has become want to make " European ".
review the analyst, European politicians who promise Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo's membership in the EU, it is worth asking who benefits. Whether It is the population which suffers from ethnic tensions and terrorism, the European Union, which would not survive entry into the ranks of the crisis countries, or the USA?
The U.S., According to the Haderer, most expressed interest in the overthrow of Pro-Russian governments in order to prevent favorable for the Russian Federation gas projects, such as the " Turkish stream ".
The administration of Barack Hussein Obama has already determined the path of Macedonia, writes Haderer. In July 2014, the U.S. assistant Secretary of state Victoria Nuland during the visit to Skopje assured that the country deserves a " legitimate space in NATO and the EU ".
Due to economic considerations Macedonia did not support the punishment against Russia. This step now will cost the Macedonian government, emphasizes Haderer, remembering the words of former U.S. President George W. Bush: "Who is not with us is against us ".
It is not only a motto, but an order which Europeans are willing to obey, expressing support for democratic values. For this reason, a new "color revolution" in Macedonia is not excluded, says the analyst. And the new Balkan crisis can shake the foundations of the EU, which was created as a peace project.
"This strategy is extremely explosive, as published over the state border of the civil war and refugees in the European Union in the long term will fail ", - said Haderer.
