It is not a choice for every responsible Russian – “Tanks to Tbilisi!” – this is a voice of our national history.
Putin’s eight-year term has finished at the 7th ofAugust, in the moment of massive attack of the Georgians to Tskhinval.Putin made Russia sovereignty, which was lost in Gorbachev-Eltsin’speriod. But he avoided armed conflict with USA and theirs marionetteson the post-soviet area. And Medvedev was elevated in case of thiscompromise in order to provoke Washington with the third term.
Until recently (July 2008) USA was playing incat-and-mouse with Moscow. They tried to put furtively differentprojects of intensity-taking down and pragmatic search of generalintent as cover-up. At 7-th August has coming the turning-point. Putinand Medvedev must give the clear answer: are-they for sovereign Russiaor they are for saving relationships with USA?
The Americans delivered an ultimatum had ordering the Georgians to attack Tskhinval. Postponement’s time of the most unpleasant and difficult decision is up. A watch keeps war, maybe, World War III.
At noon, the 8th of August, Moscow has not made adecision yet. Our authorities procrastinate to the last, don’t believe,that it is true but not a dream. But itўs impossible to avoid thechoice any longer; otherwise someone else will do it.
So, what is the choice, and what kind of positions are exist, between which Putin (and Medvedev) must decide.
The choice of treason
If Russia will decide not to enter the conflict(it’s a position of pro-american effect’s agents at the upper levels ofpower) and content herself with weeping and protests apropos ofdisgraceful things, which the Georgians do, and humanitariancatastrophe – that will be a choice, fatal choice. It will mean, thatRussia gives up her sovereignty.
In fact, this kind of position is as good as toconsider Putin’s eight-year term like a bluff and idle PR. Russia willreturn to 90s – late 80s in a moment. Russian and outside observes willrealize at once, that Russia is absolutely helpless and it’s possiblenot to take her into consideration. As a result, it’s easy to predictthe next level of Russia disintegration – beginning with the Caucasusand go on according to plan. Besides our partners in CIS will finallyturn away from us because they realize who is a master. Washington willbe a master.
