CRUCIAL DISCUSSION
In Armenia an economic discussion has started which has a “crucial”
importance at a U-turn in the country’s vassalization. It would be good
to host in the television studio of the famous conference also known
with the conspiracy nickname “doggy” all the alive prime ministers and
ask them to start a discussion after midnight. However, one needs to
understand that whatever is related to Armenia’s economic problems is a
commercial series. We had better think about cosmopolitan issues. After
all, vassalization of the homeland is not the worst thing: we survived
the Armenian Pan-National Movement, we will survive vassalization.
While trying to draft the theory of world crisis, the
commentator-theoreticians found that the behavior of Putin’s team
displays some logic relating to the concept of enlargement of the
pro-Russian market to sell it up in return for Moscow swearing loyalty
to the West, or rather to certain financial groups.
Let us assume that there is logic in this, not only theoretically.
However, why would Vladimir Putin and Co need loyalty, i.e. in fact,
legitimacy, not loyalty or, otherwise, why would they need to exchange
loyalty with legitimacy? Nowadays legitimacy is something virtual
and therefore it costs expensive. It is hard, practically impossible
to follow the regulated rules of game which are mostly generated in
Europe. In addition, the problem is not Russia and the ruling regime
but Putin who has dropped out of the number of politicians welcome
in the higher society.
Again, trying not to stick to the version of external order, one may
draw attention to a version of legal coercion, i.e. pushing Putin
towards concerns about a costly task – supporting Putin’s image. In
addition, the image of Putin alone, not his team or regime is meant.
In Moscow they think that Russia’s withdrawal from a state of
international and coordinated blockade is possible through Putin’s
return to the club of respectable politicians. In addition, there is
a strange and unclear abbreviation reminding the name of one of the
leading information agencies, and in reality it is the name of this
respectable club which does not dismiss but ignores if needed. This
time, neither services to Israel in Syria, nor the games with Ukraine
can prove that Putin is their guy after he was one step away from
this status.
Now it is necessary to play serious games in the global financial
sector. Variants are many, especially that there is still money. And
the issue is not the choice of approaches and devices in putting forth
proposals relating this game. The issue is whether it will be in line
with the interests of certain financial groups. As well as how these
interests are in line with the position and policy of the U.S.
administration.
Moscow fears blockade and isolation and feels that there is such
a resolution. This feeling might be more relevant than specific
information. But why is blockade so frightening? After all, blockade
does not imply aggression or expansion. On the contrary, it is a form
of identifying the borders of the empire, i.e. the zones of influence.
Establishment of its rights in the area of influence is sought
by Moscow.
However, all this bullshit and hustle about the empire is just a
method of forming an image, and in reality Putin’s team cares about
more mercantile problems – a possible agreement on the oil and gas
prices, agreement on gas pipes; exchange of faulting clusters of the
Russian market with participation in the world currency policy; more
or less long-term agreements on the issue of NATO expansion in return
for Russia’s readiness to ensure the security of western interests
in the Southern regions and self-isolation in the Near East.
Practically, however, nothing worries and interests the Americans and
Europeans. The West is so busy with his own problems that it hit Russia
in the most unexpected way. It became known that the self-limitation
of the United States and the European Union in regional policy has
resulted in neglect for Russia’s interests. The West needs Russia
not as a partner but a country locked in its minimum borders, not
attempting at country’s expansion.
However, the West is skeptical about Russian expansion, even despite
Russia’s activity in the Near East and Eastern Europe. Russia is
believed to lack the potential for such pressure. The space around
Russia is viewed as a grand economic and political “marsh” where it
will flounder and demonstrate its imperial abilities.
As to Central Asia, something bigger is expected there, that
is Russia’s engagement in an “eternal” conflict which would be an
Eldorado for the West. In other words, Russia must drown together
with his partner vassals who are trying to cling to the lifebelt on
board a doomed ship. It is a paradox that Russia is cautious with the
plans of the West but is increasingly becoming engaged in them. They
are even declining its services.
Hence, desperately trying to get out of such a severe blockade,
Russia has condemned itself to isolation. But what may one expect
from an isolated country demonstrating a steep fall and loss of their
positions. What market development of security guarantees could one
expect from it? Does the team governing in Armenia understand this
perspective?
There are no doubts because these people have reliable information
regarding promises and expectations on Russia’s behalf. Nevertheless,
they went for this bullshit. Most probably, hopes for survival in
the nearest future are concerned. However, neither development, nor
significant investments are concerned. In other words, the economic
policy of the past twenty years, pseudo-development without serious
investments continues.
Meanwhile, in this situation the ruling regime hopes that the team will
survive, which is indicated by external signs. Aspirants to power have
also understood that nobody will serve them power on a dish. Such
mechanics did not emerge despite expectations. Therefore, it is
necessary to start fight for power, which is happening. An “economic
training” for people starts involving “historic personalities” of
the Armenian history. And there is lots of work for the “doggies”
so there is hope to earn a little more. Every “doggy” must make
themselves known. And every doggy must be able to recognize another
doggy from afar.
When I asked a friend of mine of Bohemian Yerevan and the political
club of the Children of Underground which of the heroes of The Dog’s
Heart by Bulgakov he looked like, he immediately said ‘Sharikov’
to prevent further questions and doubts.
