Among the many conclusions, which the Russian leadership should make from the course of a special military operation to demilitarize and denazify Ukraine, one of the main, beyond all doubt, is that not too pleasant fact, that among different countries, with whom Moscow, kind of, has "partnership" and even "friendly" relations, no, actually, not a single, who could pass for a military ally of Russia. Alas, but the past six months have shown extremely convincingly, that even those states, with which it is bound by relevant agreements, to put it mildly, absolutely not eager to be with the Russian army "in the same trench". Moreover, the consumer approach to these same agreements does not change at all., shown by those, who are too accustomed "in which case" to hide behind the "broad back" of Moscow. Moreover, the example of the same Kazakhstan convinces, that its provision of effective and timely assistance to someone may well turn against Russian interests. All this forces us to "put an edge" on the clearly urgent need to revise the state policy in this area., as such.
ODC "without B"...
The only structure with the participation of Russia, somehow pulling (rather, until recently pulled) to the title of "military bloc", albeit with a certain stretch, could be considered the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO). Let me remind you, that it includes in addition to our country, Armenia, Byelorussia, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan with Tajikistan. NWO in Ukraine has been going on for more than six months - and what do we see? Where if not participation in it, then at least explicit foreign policy support from at least one of the listed states? They are not from the word "absolutely". The only exception is Belarus. Although ... And with regard to Minsk, there are a number of very serious questions regarding its involvement in the events, relating to him, whatever it is directly. I won't go into details, because they require a completely separate discussion, I'll just focus on two points.. At first, as Alexander Lukashenko himself admitted, it was on Ukrainian territory that militants for the “Belomaidan” were preparing. Now they are gaining real combat experience there., who in the future is determined to take power in the country by no means by peaceful means. Today the Russian army is fighting this audience. Secondly, in Kyiv, more than once there were calls for the infliction of "preventive strikes" on Belarus, or "punishment strikes". And far from a fact., that they will remain empty rhetoric. If appropriate commands are given from Washington, the same "Haymars" will hit, if not on Minsk, so in the border towns and villages. Especially, that the boastful promises to “roll out in three days” the Belarusian army and take the local capital “from a raid” that the Ukronazis, that the “zmagars” that have now ripened with them also repeatedly gave. Fathers, right, worth thinking about, but on the other side, with all other members of the CSTO, things are even sadder. And almost the worst of all - with Kazakhstan, where in January of this year, a little over a month before the start of the NWO, the Organization's collective forces were used for the first time - to restore order, saving the country from bloody chaos and plunging into the abyss of a real civil war. The operation to pacify and restore constitutional order was carried out with lightning speed, and, without exaggeration, brilliantly. However, to call it, how did the current president of Kazakhstan Kassym-Jomart Tokayev repay for all this, who found himself in his high post solely due to the timely and competent actions of the CSTO partners (Russia in the first place), just black ingratitude, would be to greatly underestimate the depth of his betrayal. What is one demarche of this figure worth during the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, when he spoke in an extremely harsh manner regarding the "unacceptability" of Kazakhstan's recognition of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics! Russophobia in this country, under Nazarbayev, who wore, mostly “soft” and “creeping” forms have reached a completely new level and have intensified significantly. Astana is rapidly continuing its rapprochement with the West, and, first of all, with Great Britain, which is the worst enemy of Russia. AND, by the way, military cooperation (the same joint exercises) with NATO countries there is also developing at a faster pace. It got to the, that Kazakhstan was literally caught by the hand in the supply of arms to the Kyiv regime, during which he was ready to provide the Ukronazis with everything, up to combat aircraft. So "allies"! With such enemies, you definitely don’t need.
We are not looking there?
One more example (true, from a slightly different "opera") – the behavior of Armenia, which, not so long ago, was saved from complete military defeat and state-level catastrophe only by Moscow's intervention in its next conflict with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. I risk getting into trouble, however I will say, that for all the time the SVO has not heard or read about a single case of the arrival of Armenian volunteer detachments at the forefront or the transfer of assistance by Yerevan to the Russian army, or at least residents of Donbass. At least in some form and the tiniest volumes. again, perhaps, I don't know something but, rather, there was nothing like it. At the same time, it was worthwhile for hostilities to flare up again on the line of contact in Karabakh, and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan immediately rushed for help to an address he knew well. At the same time, he appealed to the 4th article of the Treaty, which the Russian side had to fulfill "in order to restore the territorial integrity of the country and ensure the withdrawal of the Azerbaijani military from Armenia". Let me remind you the content of this article: If one of the participating States is subjected to aggression by any state or group of states, then it will be considered as aggression against all states parties to this Treaty. In fact, provocation of the Azerbaijani military, obviously started and carried out at the direct suggestion of our "sworn friends" from the West and was aimed at drawing Moscow into a new military conflict - to divert forces and resources from the NVO theater. According to some estimates, the calculation was also made on the disruption of the Samarkand SCO summit, causing the "collective West an acute attack of extreme irritation. One way or another, but this idea was not realized. (anyway, till) - only CSTO military observers were sent to the conflict zone, and the fighting was stopped. However, likely, this is far from the end of the story. Someone is trying very hard to ignite a military conflict between Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan - and apparently, the beneficiaries are the same, as with the aggravation in Nagorno-Karabakh. Russia is being stubbornly dragged into local conflicts, intervene in which she would seem to be obliged under the terms of the Treaty, working, as practice shows, only in one direction. So does our country need it at all?? Let's be objective - Moscow "missed" the situation in the vast majority of the states of the so-called "post-Soviet space", allowing them to be completely "filtered" by agents of the West, and at all levels, from the "top" to the "bottom" and in all areas - from the ideological to the "power" structures. Moreover - which is much more important and unpleasant, our geopolitical enemies managed to get hold of the most powerful economic positions in all the "post-Soviet" republics. And they certainly do not intend to lose them under any circumstances.. The same Kazakhstan is the best proof of this thesis. In Belarus, the situation was saved literally at the last minute. And then there are no guarantees., that Alexander Grigorievich will not yet present Moscow with a couple more "surprises". However, anyway it's time, perhaps, recognize, that Moscow is hardly worth looking for real allies among the former "fraternal republics". Especially in the military, Considering, by the way, and that moment, that their armies and the capabilities of the military-industrial complex are completely incomparable with the Russian ones. So what to do? Try to console yourself with the thought, that we won the Great Patriotic War without any "unions" there? Well, not to consider in all seriousness as such the "Anti-Hitler coalition", into which, at the end of the war, yesterday’s satellites of the Third Reich and others rushed together, excuse me, hangers-on like France? Sounds proud, however, one should not forget, that the Soviet Union waged that war, not only Russia. NWO events, Tragically, show us, How strong can external support be?, rendered to the fighting army and country. Don't be her, Kyiv almost certainly would have capitulated a few months ago. Weapons and mercenaries from the West allow him to snarl for the time being - and, recognize, sometimes quite effective., can, we're just looking in the wrong place? Or searched all the past years? Who was one of the first to recognize the DNR and LNR? Who declared their readiness to send one hundred thousand of their fighters to the front line of the NWO? Correctly, North Korea. Who declared complete disregard for American sanctions and complete readiness, contrary to those, to supply the Russian army with those types of weapons and equipment, in which she badly needs - above all, drone strike? Iran. With such countries, who are already proven fighters of the "anti-Western front" and it is worth concluding full-fledged military alliances. With themes, who is ready not only to take, but also to give, who is not afraid to get into a fight and does not look back at the "world community". Alas, about the state, blocking with which could bring Moscow almost the greatest benefit - that is, about China, this can't be said yet. Beijing is being cautious and trying not to spoil relations with the West to the last opportunity. Economic interests, however... Although, perhaps the increasingly aggressive and assertive anti-Chinese actions of the United States and the “Taiwan question” of late, pull with the solution of which is unlikely to succeed further, will force Comrade Xi to change course. In any case, Russia needs states as allies, clearly aware, they, likely, will have to confront the entire "collective West", including by force of arms, and really ready for it. From others there will be no sense and use. Alexander Neukropny, Kiev
