Napetost v Ukrajini - Krimu

Citat:
In late May 1990, Gorbachev finally agreed to a unified Germany joining NATO. But why didn't Gorbachev and Shevardnadze get the West's commitments in writing at a time when they still held all the cards? "The Warsaw Pact still existed at the beginning of 1990," Gorbachev says today. "Merely the notion that NATO might expand to include the countries in this alliance sounded completely absurd at the time."

Some leading Western politicians were under the impression that the Kremlin leader and his foreign minister were ignoring reality and, as Baker said, were "in denial" about the demise of the Soviet Union as a major power.

This era's most extreme international crime, the United States-United Kingdom invasion of Iraq, was therefore not a break in world order - because, after failing to gain international support, the aggressors didn't cross Russian or Chinese red lines.

In contrast, Putin's takeover of the Crimea and his ambitions in Ukraine cross American red lines. Therefore "Obama is focused on isolating . Putin's Russia by cutting off its economic and political ties to the outside world, limiting its expansionist ambitions in its own neighborhood and effectively making it a pariah state," Peter Baker reports in The New York Times.

American red lines, in short, are firmly placed at Russia's borders. Therefore Russian ambitions "in its own neighborhood" violate world order and create crises.

The Cuban missile crisis also sharply revealed the great powers' red lines. The world came perilously close to nuclear war when President Kennedy rejected Premier Khrushchev's offer to end the crisis by simultaneous public withdrawal of Soviet missiles from Cuba and American missiles from Turkey. (The U.S. missiles were already scheduled to be replaced by far more lethal Polaris submarines, part of the massive system threatening Russia's destruction.)

On Dec. 5, 1994, President Clinton and the leaders of Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the Russian Federation signed a Memorandum in Budapest in which Ukraine agreed to relinquish all of its nuclear weapons in exchange for “commitments” and “obligations” to (a) respect the independence and sovereignty and the existing borders of Ukraine; (b) refrain from the threat or use of force against Ukraine’s territorial integrity or independence; and (c) refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate Ukrine’s exercise of its sovereignty. China and France provided similar national security assurances in separate statements; and, five years later, Russia and the U.S. reconfirmed their commitments in a joint declaration.

Irelevantno....Važno je samo tole....

PUČ...ZDA so s pučem, ki so ga financirale in organizirale v Ukrajini kršile neodvisnost in suverenost Ukrajine..

Do takrat je bila Ukrajina nekako na sredi...torej dejansko neodvisna in suverena. Zahod in Rusija sta bila nekako v pat položaju a ne....ampak danes vemo, da nobeni neodvisni in suvereni državi ni omogočeno preživeti...sej za to se gre a ne....NE SME OBSTAJAT PRAVA POT...to je tretja...Nam morata biti na vojo samo dve opciji... zatorej je vsaka taka država obsojena na propad oziroma na životarjenje...

Ampak danes je razočaranje še večje....Nato, ki nam je predstavljem kot OBRAMBNI mehanizem in EU kot model povezave med suverenimi in neodvisnimi državami, sta uporabljena in izrabljena v imperialne namene. Oba centralizirana in vodena ne od držav podpisnic pač pa od ZDA. Ne ravno tako kot smo si predstavljal a ne?
