In a recent interview on the program, Putin mentioned that in the early days of his administration, his views on the West were "too naïve."
According to ** reports, in an interview with a Russian TV station a few days ago, Putin talked about his mental journey in ruling Russia from 2000 to the present.
Putin said that shortly after he came to power, he had "naïve" thoughts about the West, believing that Russia, which had adopted a Western political system, "no longer had an ideological conflict" with the West;At that time, he also believed that the West's negative policy towards Russia, as well as its support for Russia's internal ** forces and terrorist forces, was only because of "the inertia of the Soviet policy", but he soon found out that the West really wanted Russia's life.
Putin said that he gradually realized that the West did not need a Russia with such a vast territory, a large population and rich resources, as Brzezinski's theory of "secondary dismemberment of Russia", they wanted to divide Russia into five parts, conquer and plunder resources one by one.
To put it simply, Russia is still too big for the United States and Europe, so it must die. Putin's remarks are obviously in line with our perception: when he first came to power, Russia's diplomatic focus was always on Europe, and it even sought to join NATOAs for China, Putin has in fact always been salty, and his dealings with China are more based on business partners.
Until 2014, after the riots in Kyiv, the West pushed Ukraine to join NATO. Putin has finally understood that the West has only one real purpose: to strangle Russia;Perhaps this is also the reason why he finally made up his mind to use troops against Ukraine, and he must make the West understand that if he wants to kill Russia, the West must be ready to be buried together.
In fact, the West has the same mentality towards us. Since the founding of New China, the West has imposed a long-term blockade and encirclement on us;After the reform and opening up, the West began to "contact" with us, but the essence of the West's "contact" is the same as the blockade and containment, that is, to seek a color revolution against China.
Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has publicly stated many times during his tenure that the "engagement" policy has failed. The failure he said refers to the fact that China has not changed its political system to a certain extent in economic development to a certain extent, as the West envisions, but has made the "China red" more vivid, so the United States has changed its "engagement" and turned it into "decoupling", and when the decoupling is over, it will be a new blockade and containment, and eventually it will become a "new Cold War."
Although Washington has repeatedly claimed that it does not seek decoupling and will not hinder China's economic development, who believes this?What the United States has done is not called "cooperation" or "competition," so after the Chinese side showed great sincerity during the San Francisco meeting, the United States still refused to give up its established policy toward China.
Yes, when it comes to the issue of tariffs on China, the US negotiator said that "there is no such thing as pure freedom" in the world When talking about China's defense construction, the Pentagon said, "the most serious strategic challenge in the history of the US military";When talking about China's chip and semiconductor industries, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Raimondo said, "It threatens the United States."
Now, Putin has said that he was "too naïve" before, so now he is "not naïve" and leads Russia to look east. This is a very painful realization, Russia has been dragged into the quagmire of Ukraine for two years because of its naivety in the past;To date, tens of thousands of Russian troops have been killed, thousands of tanks, armored vehicles and artillery have been destroyed, which can be said to be heavy losses, although the losses of the Ukrainian army are even more tragic, but these are the price of "naivety".
Of course, we must learn the lessons of Russia, and we must always keep our eyes open for the West, and the jackal has a shotgun when it comes, but we can't repeat the drama of "Mr. Dongguo"!
