Last week the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party proposed to amend the Constitution, providing for the entry of other states into Russia.
"AiF" appealed to Vladimir Zhirinovsky for clarification, and at the same time asked him to comment on the latest events in world politics.
"The Russian army will rise, and let someone try to twitch "
Vitaly Tseplyaev, "AiF": Vladimir Volfovich, why such an amendment is needed: is there anyone who wants to join the ranks of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation?
Vladimir Zhirinovsky: Till, may be, They are not here. But, if we accept the amendment, it will help those countries, who would like to join us in the future. The decision of their parliament will be enough.
First of all, this applies to the former Soviet republics. May be, in Estonia, Power will change in Latvia and Lithuania. Or Abkhazia wants to join the Russian Federation, or Transnistria. Can, elsewhere pro-Russian forces will appear: even in Finland, even in Mongolia, even in Bulgaria. Or, when Serbia is squeezed from all sides, they will look: Kosovo is already gone, if Vojvodina also separates, what will remain? One Belgrade? You look, then they will say: let's join Russia, the Russian army will rise in the Balkans, and let someone try to twitch.
America's goal – periodically exacerbate the situation in one, else. They play solitaire on the world map: then North Korea, then Syria, then Ukraine, then the Balkans, now here is Venezuela. After Latin America, we will clash somewhere in Africa ...
Vladimir Zhirinovsky
- And the DPR and LPR will also be able to use your amendment?
- It is beneficial for us, for all of Ukraine to enter. If it will only be the republics of Donbass, there will be a hotbed of tension.
- They are actively discussing the option of uniting Russia with Belarus. It's real?
- Lukashenka does not want to unite. And in vain, I think. It would be the best, the most reliable option. He would have gone down in history as the Belarusian Bogdan Khmelnitsky. What's stopping him? maybe, does not want to lose his profit. If the European Union offers Belarusians: separate from Russia for good, we will give you everything, like Ukraine, admit to NATO, to the European Union ... After all, the countries that joined the EU within 10 years receive 2-3 billion euros in adaptation assistance.
"The USA is completely insolent"
- How do you assess what is happening in Venezuela? Crying our money, which Russia has invested in the Maduro regime?
- USA, of course, completely insolent: in Venezuela, they didn't even start a military coup, like in Chile. Just took the boy 35 years, who stood in the square, and told him: now you will be president! And elections, obtained, Not needed. What for? enough, that people took to the streets and recognized the new government.
But at the same time, I think, Americans are not profitable, to make Maduro just pick up and leave. They need another hot spot of tension. It is necessary to maintain the confrontation with Russia at one more point, to make us weary. America's goal is to periodically exacerbate the situation in one, else. They play solitaire on the world map: then North Korea, then Syria, then Ukraine, then the Balkans, now here is Venezuela. After Latin America, we will clash somewhere in Africa ... On all continents, we will have points of confrontation! From somewhere, Americans will even leave: eg, from afghanistan. Ostensibly in the name of peace, but in fact - so that Afghan groups can try to cross the border with Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and destabilize the entire region.
We are now ten years ahead of the United States in new types of weapons. But at any moment they can invent something like that, what we don't know yet. The arms race will continue.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky
Every American president went down in history with some kind of war. Bush Sr. bombed Iraq, Clinton - Yugoslavia, Bush Jr - Iraq and Afghanistan, Obama has stirred up Libya and Ukraine. Trump can take on Venezuela or North Korea ... the US needs to show its strength, bully. Not only opponents, but also partners, the same Europe. No wonder they are trying to prevent the construction of the second Nord Stream to Germany: they need, for Europeans to buy expensive American gas. Strength and Benefit Are Two Pillars of US Policy. America's wealth is built on other people's money. And we 100 for years we have only been distributing everything. 10 years, a third of the budget was sent to America, as if the tribute was paid!
- But at least it will not come to a war between Russia and the United States?
- It only depends on us. Americans do not want to fight. Why do they need a war with Russia, as a result of which they will lose at least half of the country? They are afraid of even losing a hundred of their citizens somewhere, and then donate millions? With war they can only frighten: and us, and Chinese. China is constantly hinted: breakwater, we will deal with Russia now, then we'll take care of you. Americans can set fire to western China if they want, populated by Uyghurs, Dzungars and other Turkic-speaking Muslims. They can arrange three Syrians inside China!
They are masters to fight with someone else's hands. Set Ukraine off against Russia. Set fire to the Islamic world. Americans benefit, when the whole planet is wounded and you can sprinkle a pinch of salt on top: here, then there. Everyone is tormented, and they get rich from it. They feel good: on the sides - two oceans, top - loyal Canada, bottom - Mexico, which also won't twitch too much. So they feel safe. true, if desired, it would be possible to get them. Academician Sakharov even when he proposed to arrange two powerful explosions in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, so that a huge wave from both sides wash away all of America…
We are now ten years ahead of the United States in new types of weapons. But at any moment they can invent something like that, what we don't know yet. The arms race will continue. America benefits from it: these are orders for its defense industry, work for the army. They also withdraw from the Treaty on Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles only because, that it is outdated, that their weapons lag behind ours. They will also leave the Strategic Arms Treaty, and the ban on testing nuclear weapons will be lifted. Everything will go on increasing, until we start to lower tensions again. And so the whole XXI century.
If everything in the world is quiet, the American President, Congress will tell: why do we need such spending on armaments? Trillion Dollars Coming Soon! Thousand bases abroad! I'll have to roll it all up, bring the army home, factories close. And then the defense industry stops, workers go outside, soldiers return home. No one has a job, no money, a revolutionary situation arises, Washington turns into Petrograd! Americans are not fools, to go for it. So they'll do anything, to have endless conflicts.
"We won't give up the Kuriles"
- Recently, everyone has heard the Kuril Islands. Is a peace treaty with the Japanese worth it, to give them even two islands?
- No. And the Americans will not allow Japan to make concessions to us. Will whisper to them, to demand more and more, knowing, that we will not agree. USA is not interested in, so that Russia and Japan make up. They need, so that Japan endlessly tries to return the Kuril Islands, for South Korea to constantly quarrel with the North, for China to seize some islands and endlessly quarrel with Taiwan. It's all one big Far Eastern front of American foreign policy, as is Middle Eastern, Balkan…
So there was 70 years of treaty with Japan and more 70 no need for years. And what does it mean for us to give up the South Kuriles? It means, that we will narrow the passage for our ships to the Pacific Ocean, we will lose huge resources: minerals, bioresources. I do not see a single plus in the transfer of islands.
I think, that you don't need to forgive anyone, and you don't need to give money to anyone just like that. You need to invest in your own country.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky
- How do you assess the situation on the "Ukrainian front"? Presidential elections coming soon in Ukraine: who will win?
- Poroshenko will win. He is already a proven client for Washington. Does everything, whatever they ask, even ahead of schedule. Tymoshenko can wag, turn slightly towards Russia. Like any other new president.
- Russia has lost not only friends in recent years, but also money, writing off billions of dollars in debts to different countries. Can't we get some back: let not money, but in kind? Why are debts so easy to forgive??
- We in the party always put this question very hard. We consider, that you don't need to forgive anyone and you don't need to give money to anyone just like that. You need to invest in your own country. Under the USSR, we only gave and gave! Bolsheviks everywhere supported leftist regimes, and this is poverty itself: Ethiopia, Namibia, Congo, Zimbabwe ... Although they often did not help them with money, but with weapons, which we had extra. Many obviously could not pay for it. Many, But not all. Take Libya: Gaddafi had something to pay, he had the richest country in Africa! We have forgiven Iraq too, although he also had something to pay off. And why Mongolia was forgiven? There 30 million head of livestock! Could be taken by the sheep, just overtaking them across the border to the Trans-Baikal Territory. Or Vietnam: there is oil, and tropical fruits, and resorts, who could host our citizens. But in the Ministry of Finance, apparently, consider, which is easier to write off debts, than trying to get at least something from the debtor.
true, now we give less, trying to make the relationship mutually beneficial. The same Venezuelans paid us for weapons. And those billions, which we put there, - it's not just money. Russia built a plant there, brought some equipment, specialists. In fact, we created jobs for ourselves. And in general, recently our circle of friends has changed.. Turkey, Iran, India - all these countries are no longer poor. So the situation is gradually getting better.
