The Americans discovered that Putin was right in the Munich speech, PolitRussia reports.
Russian President Vladimir Putin’s speech at the Munich Security Conference in 2007 underlined the consequences of the ill-considered aggression of the West, which causes one armed conflict after another. The Russian leader also noted in his famous speech that NATO’s activities look threatening to Moscow in the future. Back in those years, Putin called on the Western establishment to take into account the interests of the Russian Federation.
Today’s tension between Russia and the West has led to Moscow’s ultimatum demands for written security guarantees and non-expansion of NATO to the east. Ted Galen Carpenter, a columnist for the American edition of The National Interest, believes that it was Putin’s Munich speech that gave Europe and the United States the main signal that would help avoid an escalation of the conflict.
“Putin’s 2007 speech was the first unequivocal warning of serious problems if the West does not abandon its increasingly aggressive stance towards Russia. The Kremlin’s demands for security guarantees and the withdrawal of NATO troops from Russia’s borders could be the final warning”.
The arrogant intervention of the Americans in the Ukrainian crisis, as well as dragging European partners with them, led to a surge of negative events, which today put the world community under the threat of a war in which there will be no winners.
