After Georgia pushed through a law, about 20,000 people rallied to protest on the grounds that lawmakers were blocking the country's accession to the European Union. This undoubtedly means that Russia's backyard is once again on fire. However, while this matter was still fermenting, another major news came out from the Russian side.
According to RIA Novosti, Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov came forward to confirm that Russian peacekeepers have withdrawn from the Nagorno-Karabakh region in southwestern Azerbaijan.
To be honest, Russia's decision was quite a surprise. Over the years, Azerbaijan and Armenia have surrounded this place, and there have been many bloody conflicts. More importantly, in recent years, in order to bring Armenia to its camp, the United States and the West have simply asked for money for money and weapons for weapons. It can be seen that previously, Russia's intention of sending peacekeeping troops to the Nagorno-Karabakh region was still obvious.
To put it bluntly, Putin's unexpected compromise is still somewhat confusing so far. However, one thing is certain, it is estimated that many leaders of the United States and Western countries are already happy in their hearts. We can see that recently, in order to completely bring down Russia, the United States and Western countries are sparing no effort to stimulate and create "anti-Russian sentiment" in Georgia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other places. The aim, naturally, is to weaken Russia's influence in these countries. Obviously, just looking at the above two news, we can almost conclude that this time it is finally the turn of Europe and the United States to win.
It's just that Putin is not a person who will admit defeat lightly, and things have happened so strangely that it inevitably makes people think about Putin's real intention to make a compromise.
For this reason, we have the following bold guess.
At present, Putin has to compete head-on with NATO, and at the same time avoid a fire in Russia's own backyard. Instead of being passively beaten, it is better to adjust the layout and point the finger at France, which is taking the lead in "making trouble."
Since France is digging into Russia's "corner", Russia has concentrated its efforts and pried France as Africa, which has the core of its interests. Anyway, now that Georgia and other countries are on the edge of Russia, it is not too late to wait for the situation to stabilize one day, or when the pressure is great, and then look back.
Of course, speculation is still speculation after all, and the truth of the whole thing still needs to look at the follow-up news, which slowly surfaces one by one. However, what we can be sure of here is that in terms of Putin's temper, Russia's follow-up counterattack against the United States and the West will not take long before it will be in full swing. After all, Putin knows better than anyone that he cannot allow Russia's "back garden" to fall one after another. Otherwise, it would not be impossible for Russia to follow in the footsteps of the Soviet Union when the anti-Russian forces swarmed up to besiege Russia.
All in all, the contest between Russia and the United States and the West on the "second battlefield" is infinitely close to the moment when a real showdown is needed. Although the two sides are still in the stage of looking for each other's flaws as much as possible, this "war without gunpowder" has already made people see the skyrocketing fire. Next, we have to see who can't help but "wink" and eat the other party's fatal blow first.
