The main political event of the week was a speech by President Putin to the participants of the Valdai Club. The main thesis – the world will continue to sink into chaos if the main players of the political arena will not understand the need for a new world order.

The main political event of the week was a speech by President Putin to the participants of the Valdai Club. The main thesis – the world will continue to sink into chaos if the main players of the political arena will not understand the need for a new world order.

This speech of the President of observers compared to his performance in Munich in 2007, but then, Putin warned of the dangers to be faced by a unipolar world. Now he stated – gun shots.

According to Putin, the world created under the influence of America is a threat to himself. Under attack not only its opponents but also those who are willing to play by its rules. And to deny the necessity of today’s multi-polarity is dangerous.

Valdai Club has happened to hold meetings, when in international affairs clouds are gathering. Take at least 2008 – when the forum was held just a month after Georgia’s attack on South Ossetia. But now, in the stormy sky already flash of lightning. Such a deep split in Russia’s relations with the West was not, perhaps, thirty years. And in this weather choice of location for the meeting – in Sochi mountains, on the basis of the Olympic sports complex, it could be read as a kind of message.

For the Russian Olympic Sochi – surely the winning symbol. This gigantic building, and impeccable organization of the Games, in the success of Western skeptics who doubt, and triumph in the medal standings. What shows – Russia can win, despite any obstacles. But at the same time in an Olympic medal, there is another side.

Since ancient times, games were a symbol of peace. Here and Russia to confrontation does not seek, in his speech to the participants of the Valdai President repeated this several times. But in order to put an end to the crisis, its causes must be said truthfully. The correct diagnosis. And this, Putin explained, means a frank and sometimes tough talk.

“The directness and stiffness assessments need today is not to engage in mutual picks, and to try to understand what is really going on in the world why he is becoming less safe and less predictable, why everywhere increasing risks. In a world of accumulated many contradictions. And frankly need each other to ask, do we have a reliable safety net. Unfortunately, the guarantees of certainty that the current system of global regional security and is able to save us from the turmoil, no. This system is seriously weakened, fragmented and distorted “- like the President.

The fact that the old rules of the game in the world is no longer valid, and said the motto of this meeting . And no one tried to argue that the same UN can not solve today no serious problems. But, according to the President, the destruction of the rules did not begin yesterday, and in a time when the only remaining superpower in the world has decided that it no rules do not apply.

“The Cold War” ended. But it did not end the conclusion of “the world”, clear and transparent agreements on compliance with existing or establish new rules and standards. The impression that the so-called winners in the “cold war” have decided to put the squeeze situation reshape the world exclusively for themselves, under their own interests. So behave, sorry, nouveaux riches, which had fallen suddenly enormous wealth, in this case, in the form of world domination, world leadership. And instead of them, this wealth wisely, carefully dispose of, including in its course, favor, I think that a lot of mangled wood, “- said Vladimir Putin.

This speech of the President is not accidental compared with the famous Munich, delivered in 2007. Even then, Putin has warned of the danger of a unipolar world., in which the country finds itself the supreme arbiter. Since then things got worse. The conflicts in Libya, Syria, Egypt, the emergence of extremist “Islamic state. “This is not a complete record of the applicant for world domination.

” Let us ask ourselves how all of us comfortable, safe, pleasant to live in such a world, how it is fair and rational? Maybe we have good reason to worry, argue, ask awkward questions? Maybe the exclusivity of the United States, the way they implement their leadership, it is really good for all, and their widespread interference in the affairs of all the world bears the peace, prosperity, progress, prosperity, democracy, and you just need to relax and have fun? Let me say that this is not so. This is absolutely not true “- insists the head of the Russian state.

The audience smiled jokes, although in general the President talked about things completely joyless.

” We are once again slipping into those times, not when the balance of interests and mutual guarantees, and fear of mutual destruction balance keeps the country from direct collision. For lack of a legal and political instruments weapon returns to the center of the global agenda, it applies wherever and however you like, without any UN Security Council sanctions. And if the Security Council refuses to stamp these decisions, he immediately declared obsolete and ineffective tool. Many states do not see the other guarantees of sovereignty, but to get their own bomb. This is extremely dangerous, “- said Vladimir Putin.

This is Putin also warned back in Munich. The temptation is to get more powerful weapons will only grow. Because this one can sober up a country that has become a habit, not only dictate its will on others, but to overthrow the unwanted government.

“In fact, the formula was proposed: the stronger the loyalty only center of influence in the world, the greater the legitimacy of a regime. We then pass to you free discussion – try anyone refute the thesis, which has just been formulated by me “- suggested the presence of President.

challenge these words no one dared, but the President during discussion resorted to even sharper estimates.

“What are the problems of the modern world? Let’s just say this, but here all the experts sitting. So we keep talking, we are like diplomats. What happened in the world? Was bipolar system. The Soviet Union collapsed, this powerful force in the form of the Soviet Union was no more. All the rules of international life after World War II written by a bipolar system. Yes, the Soviet Union was called “Upper Volta with missiles.” Maybe, but the missiles were heaps. And they were so bright political figures as Nikita Khrushchev, who was knocking boots in the UN. And everyone in the world, primarily in the United States, NATO, thought, yah, its bounce, this Nikita and his ilk, take the Weird, missiles at them full – best to treat them with respect.

Soviet Union is gone, what the situation arose and what temptations – and you can not ignore Russia, she is very sensitive, a transformation took place during the collapse of the Soviet Union, we will do what we want, do not regard with any rules. Just because, in fact, the case. Here mention Dominic and Iraq, and Libya, and Afghanistan, and before that Yugoslavia. Is that everything was under international law, or what? What you give us is telling tales? So someone can do with anything not considered, and we defend their vital interests of the Russian-speaking and Russian population in Crimea can not? So do not be “, – Putin said.

Events in the Crimea and Ukraine predictably became the center of attention. And just as predictably been named Western guests cause of the current crisis. But here in dispute Putin already entered. By He believes that the reason is much deeper – it is just arrogance of the West and his beloved double standards.

“I do not understand why people who live in the Crimea, is not entitled to it, as well as people living say, in Kosovo. Why in one case, white is considered white, and the second is the same white black is declared? Nonsense, and we will never agree.

I remember all the time that talked about this ancient. Remember the wonderful phrase that is allowed to Jupiter is not permitted to a bull. We can not agree with such formulations. Maybe the bull is not allowed, but I want to tell you that bear no one will not ask permission. Generally, it is considered the master of taiga we is not going, I know this is exactly somewhere to move to other climatic zones, where it uncomfortable. But Taiga he would not give her to anyone. I think it should be clear, “- said the President of Russia.

After the meeting, political analysts say – yet never, Putin has spoken so harshly against the United States. Guests from such frankness even slightly vulnerable.

“A few weeks ago, Mr. Obama said about the three challenges: Ebola, LIH and Russia, because of the events in the Ukraine. Today I have not heard about the three calls from you, and I heard about a global problem that you have outlined, and this problem – the US, “- said one of those present in the hall.

” The first. I did not say that the US is a threat to us. President Obama, as you said, believes Russian threat, I do not think the United States pose a threat to us. I think that the policy of the ruling circles, sorry, using a stamp is incorrect. President Obama has mentioned one of the threats – it LIH. And who helped arm the people who fought in Syria with Assad? Who created a favorable political climate information? Who pushed for the supply of arms?

I think that this is absolutely not verified, unprofessional policies without the support of the realities. We must maintain a civilized democratic opposition in Syria. Well maintained – gave weapons. Tomorrow half militants went from there and went to LIH. That it was impossible to think about this a little earlier? We are against this policy of the United States. We believe that it is wrong, harms everyone, including you.

But do not look for the guilty, if they themselves make mistakes. We must, on the contrary, to rise above the desire to dominate and infinitely assumed imperial ambitions. No need to poison the minds of millions of people in that other politicians in the United States can not be, except imperial “- explained his position, Vladimir Putin.

Today, the imperial policy of the United States carried out even to allies that Putin again openly suggested calling satellites. Since the sake of American interests they are willing to hurt themselves. The history of sanctions here – the best illustration.

“Many people believe that Europe’s position on the crisis in Ukraine can be attributed only to American pressure. Do you think that the position of Germany can be explained by the US pressure? “- Asked the Bulgarian political scientist Ivan Krastev.

” As for the sanctions imposed on them or not imposed, it is not for me to judge. Better you probably know how it all happened. But the vice president of the United States, for example, not so long ago said that it took them seriously push the European partners to ensure that they have applied sanctions. This he said, not me. So, still pressed. Europeans need these sanctions or not? I think not. Indeed, under the pressure of sanctions nobody ever even small countries, decisions are not made, let alone a country like Russia, definitely will not be under pressure to do anything, what would like to order our partners who are trying to crush Russia. This is absolutely counterproductive and lead to problems, “- said the President.

And in Europe it certainly understand. Like that economic ties with Russia break, in principle, impossible. After all, it would realize almost fantastic scenario – to replace Russian gas to Europe, the US.

“If the Europeans go on it, it is a direct way to reduce their competitiveness, because it will be more expensive than our pipeline gas or oil on our pipelines or “short arm” shipping and logistics fields with Russia. It is easy to kill their competitiveness. That I do not know what you have to be a colony of Europe, to go for it. I think that common sense will prevail and this will not happen “- believes Vladimir Putin.

However, one expert expressed concern that in the current circumstances, Russia itself can go to break relations. That’s only when he Russian this reason, compared with America.

“September 11, 2001 I was in America. I watched as America has changed after that day. She became another. She became more fierce. Fell tolerance level. Sharply increased rating of the President. All have become huge patriots. America began to behave aggressively in the foreign policy of peace and closed. Tell me I’m probably wrong, convince me, but it seems that Russia is beginning to repeat American mistakes “- suggested the president of the Center for American global interests Nikolai Zlobin .

“I have already said in my speech, and I want to reiterate: we are no one is going to close. The fact that Russia is trying to shut down, isolate – it’s a fact. What can I say something? Everything about it says. Publicly speak about it as your leaders: we punish Russia, she will pay dearly for it, that it will be an outcast – and so on. But as will with the outcast to solve global problems – is unclear, and themselves, apparently, understand that this is impossible. So I want to confirm once again that we are not going to close, there is no such problem. Moreover, I believe that it is harmful. And those who try to do it, I can say that it is useless, it is impossible in the modern world. Even 40-50 years ago, perhaps it was possible, but now it is impossible. Such attempts will suffer surely fail. And the sooner our colleagues are aware of this, the better, “- said the President.

Here are just ready for there to listen to the ocean, which is contrary to their perceptions of their own infallibility? Word of the dangers of unilateral action in politics already sounded times, including seven years ago in Munich.

“You can not compare your speech with Munich-2 on heat?” – asked one of the students.

“Compare at We love everything. You can compare and this “- Vladimir Putin agreed.

” What do you think such as the prosecution in respect of the Americans or conciliatory? “- Asked his companion.

” It’s not conciliation, and not accusatory. This proposal is to work together, “- said the President of the Russian Federation.

” That is, since there will be no sudden movements of your party? “- Said the questioner.

” If we do not respect will be, and nothing from us will come. We are ready for any sudden movement on the part of our partners, “- said Vladimir Putin.

While much preferable to start a dialogue. The President assured – the search for new, more equitable mechanisms in international politics – a difficult task, but in which direction to lead the search, apparently. The basic rule should be mutual respect of countries and their willingness to consider the interests of each other.
