Media: the West is not learning from its mistakes in relations with Russia
History teaches nothing the West's relations with Russia, And the United States And the European Union make the same mistakes, the lessons From which they could extract much earlier, writes an employee of Alberta University of Srdja Pavlovich in the publication in the canadian edition.
The world lives in the era of a " new cold war ", And she has taught international community frightening lesson: politics lost its most important property is the ability to resolve conflicts, And to the foreground instead of her face power And economic considerations. About the start of a new cold war demonstrate numerous recent " color revolutions ". They all have some characteristics in common: poor planning, unrealistic expectations of active participants, the lack of mechanisms to monitor progress and unfulfilled expectations of residents And unfulfilled promises of Western governments, says the specialist.
As suggested by the Creator, the current collapse of Ukraine is an example of the active phase of a new " cold war ", which has exacerbated a serious crisis in relations between Russia And the West. At the direction of the US and their Western allies tried Russian military force And political resolve, And now the crisis is in the most dangerous phase.
for reviews of SRJI Pavlovich, the Georgian conflict is one example of the struggle between the Russian Federation And the United States for influence. From the August 2008 war, the West had to understand that Russia is ready to defend itself, to prevent NATO from its borders, And not to expect her to behave differently during the Ukrainian fall.
" in addition, the lessons of the Georgian conflict have not learned And Kiev. It was obvious that the West was going to start a war with Russia, to stand up for the then President of Georgia, " a political speculator " Mikhail Saakashvili. And at the present time it is Clear that he (West - approx. Ed.) will not go to war with Russia From Ukraine. No bellicose rhetoric And propaganda tricks in international forums in the performance of Western leaders do not have the opportunity to change that, " says the specialist.
The current behavior of the West only aggravates the crisis And destroys not numerous lines of interaction that exist between Moscow, Washington And Brussels. Despite the fact that the decision of the Ukrainian question now seems unattainable, every diplomatic dialogue is missing, and communication between the parties occurs through the exchange of harshness.
We can only hope that sooner or later Western politicians will remember the approach of the former West German Chancellor Willy Brandt, who believed that one should not treat political opponents As " enemies ", and should keep their conversations, trying to understand their expectations And concerns, concludes the expert.
