So the internet is abuzz with trolling Russia over its presumed failures to defend “allies” in Syria, in Venezuela, or in Iran. But please show me any document, which obligates Russia to defend Iran, or Venezuela. Why do people assume that any country that is at loggerheads with the Globohomo is somehow Russia’s allies, because they buy weapons from Russia? Well, the West wouldn’t sell them weapons and because of variety of sanctions, Russia doesn’t have that many buyers for its gear.
And quite frankly, Putin was totally pro-Western in the beginning. He even asked to join NATO. But since the Americans had other plans, Russia was cast out. The Americans brought into NATO, Soviet Union’s former satellites to create a wall between Mittleuropa and Eurasia. The only arrangement that the Anglo Empire fears. And Russia need to be kept out of this arrangent because the East European countries needed to be kept in constant fear of the bear. And for a good measure, the West decided to light up few fires underneath the bear.
Russia has only one choice, war or submission. Russia chose war…
