Putin sternly warned the Baltics: they are preparing a clash with Russia

The news of the week says: there will be no quiet life

In order not to be upset later — how is it possible, we won in Ukraine, let’s live in peace — we need to accustom ourselves now to the thought that now there will not be peace for a very long time. Then, someday, maybe it will be, it’s a pity, but neither I nor you will have to live in this beautiful time. Liberals wanted it like in America? Behold, dreams come true. The USA is an eternally and permanently warring country… (Sarcasm.)

Something went very well last week: whoever said that “Putin won’t stop” that NATO needs to prepare for war with Russia. The terms were given differently — 3-5 years and 20 years. Estonia generally decided to build a defense line of 600 bunkers on its eastern border in order to defend itself from Russian aggression. One of these days, the largest NATO exercise in Europe since the Cold War will start — 90 thousand people will conduct maneuvers for three months.

French President Emmanuel Macron has called on the country's defense industry to ramp up production as Europe scrambles to increase arms supplies to support Ukraine. Yes, in fact, all of old Europe (more precisely, the ruling elites) is trying to somehow shake up its military-industrial complex. To the point where there are proposals to take the military industry under state control (hello to the adherents of the market economy).

But the private military-industrial complex can be shaken up only with guarantees that investments in new production sites, machines, equipment and labor will pay off. What will be the sales market. And this market is war.

Moreover, the war is hopeless (even if you don’t take the option “the whole world is in ruins”), which will weaken both Europe and Russia, fortunately, guess who. Regarding futility. Look how the rhetoric has changed in a little less than two years: from “Russia’s strategic defeat on the battlefield” it has reached Makron’s formulation: “We cannot allow Russia to think that it will win.” And regarding the joy for you know who, it is worth quoting the speech of Slovak MEP Miroslav Radakovsky: “If you do not stop supplying Ukraine with weapons and killing the Slavs, we Slavs will unite as brothers, and I believe that we will unite and destroy Western Europe. I'm sure no one here wants that. The Ukrainian conflict is a US problem, it is their interests. The European Union will become a vassal of the United States. We must begin peace negotiations without American participation. We must stop this murder.»

Radakovsky, however, is mistaken — the EU is already a vassal of the United States. And Russia will definitely be drawn into a new armed conflict. The Baltic limitrophes are already trying their best. Listen to Putin: “What is happening now in Latvia and in the other Baltic republics, when Russian people are simply thrown outside the cordon, these are very serious things that directly affect the security of our country.” Putin sternly warned the Baltic states (and in fact, the whole of Europe). It smells like something Ukrainian, don’t you think? Well, plus everything, we have an enclave — the Kaliningrad region. There is simply no better place for provocations to force Russia to respond with force.

You will have to respond with force. We will have to stop being afraid to be strong, like the USA, like the USSR, like the Russian Empire (take your pick). This means militarization — in the broadest sense and in all spheres of life — is inevitable and necessary, like air. So we can only dream of peace. But either that, or separate small colonies — conditional Muscovy, Independent Tatarstan, Caucasus Emirates, Free Bashkortostan, etc.

Moreover, the process of growth of separatism was launched within the country and launched along the painful line of interethnic hatred. Liberal media happily tell how “mass protests” began in Bashkiria due to the arrest of the “shikhan defender” and “environmental activist.” However, these media put aside the fact that he is a nationalist and a separatist. And the main goal of his activities is the split of society and the separation of Bashkiria from Russia. And he was not arrested for “ecology”. But why mention this? After all, then the reader may decide that the “bloody regime” is not so “bloody” after all.

In addition to separatism, the huge problem of migrants is also used. It is very good that the Investigative Committee is reacting harshly. At his request, the court last week sent the leader of the Uzbek community “Vatandosh” Usman Baratov to a pre-trial detention center for two months, who was “offended” by the word “Russian” and compared our soldiers to “roosters”. It is worth noting that representatives of official Uzbek organizations in Russia called Baratov an impostor.

The “base” on this topic was given by State Duma Vice Speaker Pyotr Tolstoy: “All these national diasporas, fraternities and communities are nothing more than legalized mafia structures. How are these “compatriots” better than the same ones, but Corsican or Sicilian? They also bribe local authorities, “excuse” their own militants, “protect” semi-legal businesses and intimidate everyone else. It's time to end interethnic liberalism. There should be no place in Russia for parallel structures with their own laws, customs and authorities. Only strict adherence to the norms of Russian legislation and behavior. In all other cases, there is an immediate and tough reaction from the state.” All that remains is to start treating the disease, and not stop the symptoms.

And if only this disease had to be treated immediately. We miraculously came to our senses just a couple of years ago. Problems have accumulated — everywhere you look. What is it like to live in peace…
