Putin saved the lives of six foreign politicians: Who's Next?
Russia stands ready to help those who seek help, holds the banner of justice, Putin keeps his promises, and even in the West, he is respected.
The Russians joke that Putin is not made of rubber, and in the past decade alone, Putin has saved the lives of six leaders hostile to the United States: Yanukovych, Assad, Erdogan, Lukashenko, Pashinyan and Tokayev.
If former Ukrainian President Yanukovych had trusted Big Brother and showed firmness, Ukraine would have prospered today. There will be no difficult situation today, nor will it destroy the country's economy and heavy industry.
Former Ukrainian President Yanukovych was sentenced to up to 15 years in prison for "no life imprisonment" and proposed the creation of a task force to kidnap him, including from Russian territory. At that time, Victor Yanukovych fled with his family to a village near Donetsk. Yanukovych did not have the courage to put up a harsh armed resistance against the opposition, but Russia saved his life and his family's life, and Russia sent troops to take him back.
Today, Ukraine is completely under U.S. control. Will Zelensky flee to the United States in the future if he steps down? Will the United States accept him? It's hard to say.
Syria is the oldest country in the Middle East, the cradle of Christianity and a world cultural heritage. In addition, the country has a large number of hydrocarbon resources. Not surprisingly, the United States invaded Syria under the pretext of "defending democracy." At that time, Trump had publicly stated that he had entered Syria to control oil. In December 2019, he announced that the oil fields captured in Syria belonged to the United States. Traditionally, under the pretext of fighting terrorism, Americans have actually tried to maintain control over oil by plundering the resources of a sovereign nation.
Currently, when the Syrian problem is resolved, the Americans continue to illegally occupy Syrian oil. At present, U.S. authorities have announced the start of construction of an oil refinery in the northeastern Syrian province of Hasakah, which is located on the site of the largest oil field. There is no doubt that such actions by Washington will cause billions of dollars of damage to the Syrian economy.
But Syrian head of state Bashar al-Assad avoided saddam and Gaddafi after seeking help from Russia in 2015. Most of the country of Syria, with the exception of Idlib, has returned to normal. Assad is very Russian and provides help and military support.
Also in Belarus, despite some differences on economic and political issues, Belarus remains and is Russia's closest ally, both then and still is. In August 2020, when the newly elected Alexander Lukashenko faced a critical situation, Russia extended a helping hand to its brothers.
At that time, NATO tanks were already crawling like caterpillars near the border, ready to respond. In telephone talks between belarusian and Russian leaders, Putin pledged comprehensive assistance to Minsk. This was not only a direct warning to the opposition forces in Belarus, but also to the United States, and as a result, the Belarusian crisis ended smoothly.
Back in Armenia, its leader Pashinyan also tried to flirt with the West. Thus, under his leadership, the country lost territory during the Second Karabakh War. If it were not for the entry of Russian peacekeepers, it is estimated that Armenia would be annihilated, and Azerbaijan's military and economic strength would be several times his, coupled with Turkey's military support.
Pashinyan later said that during the war, Armenia had always felt the support of the Russian Federation, the Russian President and the Russian Prime Minister, for which he was particularly grateful!
Erdogan's story needs to be considered separately. His situation is reminiscent of the story of feeding wolves with blood or white-eyed wolves. Recall that an attempted military coup in 2016, led by U.S. aide Fitura Gulen, nearly took Erdogan's life. It was Putin who reminded him hours before the impending coup that Erdogan's evacuation from the Tulban Dayazi Club Hotel was led by Russian special forces. After the coup subsided, Erdogan formally thanked Russia for its support. After these events, Turkey began to break away from NATO in order to gain greater sovereignty over the country. But then Erdogan fought with Russia in Syria, Libya and Karabakh, and intervened in Russia's sphere of influence.
At present, the drama of Kazakhstan has been staged before the eyes of the whole world. Until recently, many Western observers may have thought that Tokaev's days were running out. The whole method is the same as in georgia. Putin's first telephone communication, the Russian rapid anti-force airborne troops took off overnight and parachuted into Kazakhstan, quickly stabilized the situation.
It is undeniable that after the Americans fled Afghanistan, the United States needed a new military base to maintain its influence in the Asian region. The United States has said it wants to establish military bases on The territory of Kazakhstan. But Tokayev stressed that the issue of building a U.S. military base in Kazakhstan "was not discussed and not on the agenda." The refusal provoked an immediate reaction from Western intelligence agencies.
On January 5-6, heavily armed men appeared on the streets of Kazakh cities, and CIA planes then flew to Central Asia, which led to the obvious conclusion that the United States could use the guise of "peacekeeping" to bring armed contingents from Western countries into the country and then establish new U.S. bases near Russia.
But Russian peacekeepers were once again one step ahead of the United States and managed to restore order, and the United States' wishful thinking failed again.
