Window on Eurasia: After Crimea, West Now Believes Russia is Capable of Anything, Gontmakher Saysby paul goble (noreply@blogger.com)

Thursday August 28th, 2014 at 6:52 AM

Window On Eurasia -- New Series

Paul Goble 

            Staunton, August 27 – After 20 years of assuming that Russia wanted to join the rest of the world and play by the rules, an assumption that was not without its problems, many in the West now are governed by the opposite assumption, that Russia is capable of anything and therefore must be opposed, according to Yevgeny Gontmakher.

            And while Russians who now “spit on” Europeans may feel good about that, he says, this shift creates a situation that is potentially extremely dangerous precisely because what Moscow has done and is doing in Ukraine touches the deepest beliefs that Europeans and Americans had assumed were beyond challenge (echo.msk.ru/blog/gontmaher/1387828-echo/).

            For the last two decades, the Moscow commentator says, most Europeans focused primarily on the internal affairs of their own countries and assumed that Russia slowly but inevitably was going to do the same and that Moscow accepted its underlying values of “stability, predictability, and willingness to compromise.”

As a result and until this past spring, Europeans generally passed over in silence over the gradual reduction in civic freedoms in Russia, Vladimir Putin’s “harsh rhetoric” as in his Munich speech, and “our armed clarification of relations with Georgia” in 2008.  Those were treated as something Europeans could safely ignore.

But the Crimean Anschluss changed all that, precisely because it happened not via military conquest but rather in the remarkably peaceful way that it did, Gontmakher insists.  That had the effect of raising the spectre that similar changes in borders could happen in Europe regarding Catalonia, Scotland and elsewhere.

“The most important part of the European mentality is the unwillingness to change the existing rules of public life. The times of revolution and shifts in borders are for our Western neighbors something of the distant past which cannot be repeated,” the Russian commentator argues.

Now, however, thanks to Russia’s actions in Ukraine, Europeans are being forced to focus on foreign affairs and to think what had been for them the unthinkable.  “Of course,” Gontmakher says, “one can only laugh over the fears of Estonians and Latvians concerning a hypothetical invasion of them by Russian tanks.”

“But,” the Moscow commentator says, “many residents of ‘old Europe sincerely believe in this.” Having thought that Russia had become like them, they now fear that it is capable of anything.  “this is already a very serious trend, which must not fail to worry us because of what it means for relations between Russia and Europe now and in the future.

Russians can bleat on about how “Russia is not Europe,” he continues, “but they must understand that in the contemporary world the lines of division begin to pass not between different models of states (from the democratic to the authoritarian) but between the security of life of a resident and that which the Russian criminal world calls ‘a life without rules.’”

“A typical European cannot imagine” that basic communal services won’t work or that armed men will prowl the streets and steal anything they want. (Gontmakher says that he thinks that “the resident of a Chinese city cannot imagine this either.”) But when Europeans look at what is happening in eastern Ukraine, they see that such things can happen and not far away.

To the extent that they draw conclusions that are too radical with regard to what Russia is now in fact capable of, Europeans will not find it possible to cooperate with Russians against what Gontmakher says is the common enemy of Islamist extremism. And that will be yet another tragedy arising from what Vladimir Putin has done in Ukraine.

Window on Eurasia: Putin Can Deny But No Longer Conceal He’s Invaded Ukraine by paul goble (noreply@blogger.com)

Thursday August 28th, 2014 at 6:52 AM

Window On Eurasia -- New Series

Paul Goble

            Staunton, August 28 – Vladimir Putin can continue to lie and deny that Russian forces have invaded Ukraine, but he can no longer conceal that from Russians, Ukrainians or the West, a reality that means there is no way out except admitting defeat or acknowledging that he has invaded, neither of which Putin will do, or continuing on in the hopes he’ll get away with it.

            According to Aleksey Gorbachev, the political observer of “Nezavisimaya gazeta,” “by his actions, the Kremlin has driven itself into the position of a ‘Zugswang,’” a term used in chess to refer to a situation a player faces “when any further step will only complicate [his] situation” further (ng.ru/politics/2014-08-28/3_kartblansh.html).

            “It is obvious that without massive military support from Russia, the militants cannot oppose for long the Ukrainian forces,” the commentator says, and consequently Moscow must provide it because “the defeat of the militants will be viewed as a defeat for the Kremlin.” But doing so will alienate Russians who don’t want to invade Ukraine and the West as well.

            Polls show few Russians want to send the Russian army into Ukraine, and fewer still are going to want to as casualties from the invasion so mount among draftees and cannot be concealed from the population. And the West too, despite its reluctance to describe Putin’s actions as an invasion and thus his statements about it as lies, will also soon have little choice.

            As the “Nezavisimaya gazeta” writer puts it, Putin may be able to win time by continuing to say things that are demonstrably false as he did in Minsk, but for him and for others, time is running out because what can no longer be concealed will ultimately have to be acknowledged if not by its authors than by others.

            Moreover, he points out, Ukrainians know what is going on, and they are using the Internet to reach out to Russians to tell them what is happening and equally important what this means. In the words of Ukrainian poet Anastasiya Dmitruk, as a result of what has happened, “we will never be brothers neither by motherland nor by mothers.”

            Western leaders have been less willing than Ukrainians or ordinary Russians to describe what Putin is doing accurately because if they do, they would have to acknowledge that the situation has changed and thus face demands that they respond. Putin probably hopes he can continue to intimidate them even as he is losing ground at home.

            But as the world watches the Putin-directed Russian military invasion of Ukraine, these same leaders would do well to remember the words of Russian activist Aleksandr Genis earlier this month who pointed out that anyone who doesn’t condemn what Putin is doing shares responsibility with him (viknaodessa.od.ua/news/?news=98932#.U_R9OA3ylfs.facebook).

            Now that the Kremlin leader has openly invaded Ukraine, that has become more true than ever before.

Five Questions Western Leaders Should Be Asking Themselves About the Crisis in Ukraine – But Don’t Appear To Beby Paul Goble

Thursday August 28th, 2014 at 6:51 AM

The InterpreterThe Interpreter

1 Share

Staunton, August 26 – The leaders of major Western countries declare that they are seeking to find an answer to the crisis in Ukraine, but in order to find an answer, it is important that they begin to ask the right questions. It is all too clear that many of them are not doing so – and the consequences for Ukraine and the world may be dire as well.

Below are five questions which none of these leaders appear to be asking and yet which should be addressed if this crisis is not going to grow into a more serious one:

First, if any country other than Russia had invaded and annexed part of the territory of one of its neighbors, would the first thing that the leaders of other powers worry about is ensuring that the country that was invaded take into account the feelings and needs of the country that did the invasion?

Second, why are Ukrainian desires for integration with Europe and the West viewed as things that Europe and the West should temper in order to meet Russian demands – or at least viewed as having a lesser claim on Western governments than do the demands, including those that are illegal under international law, emanating from Moscow?

Third, if Russia’s Anschluss of the Ukrainian peninsula of Crimea is accepted as the price to pay for getting Moscow to promise to reduce its military backing of its agents in southeastern Ukraine, why should anyone think that Vladimir Putin would not employ the same strategy again, seizing one territory and destabilizing another to get the world to legitimize its first action?

Fourth, as members of the United Nations, the Western leaders seeking to “resolve” the Ukrainian crisis are committed to the supremacy of citizenship over ethnicity. Vladimir Putin has proclaimed exactly the reverse with his stress on the importance of what he calls “the Russian world” over the citizenship of people in neighboring countries. If the West facilitates his actions by forcing Kyiv to bow to that idea, does anyone believe Putin won’t try it elsewhere?

And fifth, given that the Russian government has violated its past undertakings to respect the territorial integrity of Ukraine, what basis is there for assuming that it can be counted on to respect any verbal commitments President Vladimir Putin or Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov make about the future?

Unless Western leaders can come up with good answers to these questions – and doing so is likely to be impossible – they shouldn’t be rushing to help Russia with a solution to the crisis in Ukraine that doesn’t help Ukraine in any fundamental way.

Ukrainian forces are digging in around the southern town of Mariupol, bracing for conflict with separatists after pro-Russian units seized a nearby town threatening to open up a second front in the war in the east.

A mixture of soldiers, police and volunteers are fortifying a checkpoint designed to defend the city of nearly 500,000 from pro-Russian forces who took control of part of the town of Novoazovsk, and are gradually moving towards Mariupol.

OSCE to Discuss ‘Russian Violations’ in Ukraineby webdesk@voanews.com (VOA News)

Thursday August 28th, 2014 at 6:45 AM

Voice Of America

1 Share

The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) plans to hold a special meeting Thursday to discuss developments in Ukraine. The U.S. mission to the OSCE said on Twitter that "Russian violations" in Ukraine will top the agenda at the meeting, which will be held in Vienna. Also Thursday, French President Francois Hollande said it would be "intolerable and unacceptable" if it is found to be true that Russian troops are operating on Ukrainian soil.  There is increasing concern among Ukrainian and Western officials that Russia is intervening directly in the conflict in eastern Ukraine -- a charge Moscow has repeatedly denied. On Wednesday, the U.S. State Department said Russia has sent more military assets into eastern Ukraine, "indicating a Russian-directed counteroffensive is likely under way" near two key rebel-held border cities. Spokeswoman Jen Psaki cited reports of separatists shelling residential areas in the port city of Mariupol.  She also said heavy fighting has erupted at the airport in the hub city of Donetsk. Ukrainian and Western military officials are calling the incursion a "stealth invasion." The New York Times, reporting from southeastern Ukraine, said tanks, artillery and infantry have crossed into Ukraine from Russia at the border town of Novoazovsk in recent days.  For weeks, Western analysts have said Moscow has been aiding pro-Russian separatists who are trying to break the Ukrainian siege at rebel-held Luhansk.  Officials also say separatists have been battling to open a supply corridor from the Ukraine-Russian border to nearby Donetsk.  Kyiv has repeatedly accused Moscow of arming and otherwise supporting the rebellion in Ukraine's Russian-speaking east. Moscow continues to deny involvement.

ISIL threatens to attack Saudi Arabiaby The European Union Times

Wednesday August 27th, 2014 at 6:29 PM

The European Union Times - World News, Breaking News

1 Share

Takfiri ISIL militants have reportedly threatened to attack Saudi Arabia during Eid-Adha (the Feast of Sacrifice) that marks the culmination of the annual Hajj pilgrimage, a report says.

According to Syria Alaan news website, ISIL militants will begin an armed operation in Saudi Arabia after being supplied with arms and money by al-Qaeda agents.

The report said possible fall of the Saudi government would be a severe blow to Western states, especially the United States. Therefore, five Arab states have been required o cooperate with Saudi Arabia by providing necessary information on the ISIL.

The report added that Qatar will provide necessary information on the movements of the ISIL while Egypt and Jordan will do everything to prevent transfer of hefty sums of money through banks in the United Arab Emirates to the ISIL terrorists who have been earning a lot of money by selling stolen oil in Iraq and Syria.

The ISIL militants have been already wreaking havoc on Syria and Iraq. The terrorists have been committing heinous crimes in the areas they have under control in the two neighboring states, including the mass execution of civilians and armed forces.

Takfiri terrorists currently control parts of eastern Syria and Iraq’s northern and western regions. They have threatened all communities, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Izadi Kurds and others, as they continue their advances in Iraq.

Several gruesome video footages were released, purportedly showing members of the ISIL Takfiri terror group brutally killing Shia Muslims and other communities in drive-by shootings in Iraq.

Senior Iraqi officials have blamed Saudi Arabia, Qatar and some Persian Gulf Arab states for the growing terrorism in their country.

The terrorist group has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.

NATO plans to deploy forces to Eastern Europeby The European Union Times

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen

Under the pretext of an ‘overt’ Russian threat, NATO is pushing for a ‘readiness action plan’ that will bring the Cold War military bloc closer to Russian borders than ever, even despite objections from some NATO members.

NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said the 28-nation military bloc, which meets next week in Cardiff, Wales, would attempt to overcome internal opposition and agree to the deployment of military bases near the Russian border.

Amid the ongoing Ukrainian conflict, which is fracturing the country along east-west ideological lines, NATO is preparing to install for the first time military “reception facilities” in Eastern European countries, including Poland and the three Baltic countries: Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.

“We have something already called the NATO response force, whose purpose is to be able to be deployed rapidly if needed,” Rasmussen said in an interview with several European newspapers. “Now it’s our intention to develop what I would call a spearhead within that response force at very, very, high readiness. In order to be able to provide such rapid reinforcements you also need some reception facilities in host nations. So it will involve the pre-positioning of supplies, of equipment, preparation of infrastructure, bases, headquarters.”

The bottom line, according to the NATO chief, is that there will be “a more visible NATO presence in the east.”

Asked whether there would be permanent NATO presence in Eastern Europe, he said, “The brief answer is ‘yes’. To prevent misunderstanding, I use the phrase ‘for as long as necessary’. Our eastern allies will be satisfied when they see what is actually in the readiness action plan.”

Rasmussen, whose term expires on September 30, said the new NATO forces in Eastern Europe could be “deployed within hours.”

Needless to say, NATO’s militarization of the region will not sit well with Moscow, which has watched with increasing alarm since the collapse of the Soviet Union, despite pledges from the Western military bloc not to expand further east as NATO continues its march towards Russia’s western border.

Currently, the Polish port city of Szczecin, which military experts anticipate will serve as one of NATO’s new “reception facilities,” represents NATO’s easternmost military presence.

Ironically, NATO’s latest enlargement plans are being opposed not just by Russia, but by its very members, some of whom do not see the point in aggravating tensions with Moscow.

It should come as no surprise that the United States and the United Kingdom, distant as they are from any potential fireworks on the European-Russian border, favor a military escalation in Eastern Europe. Other major NATO members, however, including France, Spain and Italy, have expressed serious reservations to the plans.

Meanwhile, Germany, NATO’s second strongest member, remains uncommitted to the expansion plans.

This should come as no surprise considering the recent deterioration in relations between Washington and Berlin.

Germany was forced to take a critical new look at its powerful American partner following Edward Snowden’s shocking NSA revelations, which showed massive US and UK spying on German citizens. Even Chancellor Angela Merkel’s personal mobile phone was caught up in the international surveillance net.

Remarkably, Rasmussen asserted that Russia “does not consider NATO a partner,” when it was NATO that flat-out refused Russian participation in the controversial US missile defense system, also planned for Eastern Europe. Such cooperation, had it been given the green light, would have sealed the so-called reset between the two Cold War-era foes, bringing to end years of mutual suspicion and antagonism. Instead, the US and NATO opted to keep Russia on the sidelines, ensuring nothing less than another full-blown arms race.

Speaking on the subject of Crimea’s decision to hold a referendum to join the Russian Federation under the threat of military attack by pro-Kiev forces, Rasmussen commented that “nobody had expected Russia to grab land by force.”

At the same time, the outgoing NATO chief reiterated claims – surprisingly without providing any sort of unassailable proof, in this age of advanced surveillance equipment – that Russia is actively participating in the Ukrainian upheaval.

“We have seen artillery firing across the border and also inside Ukraine. We have seen a Russian military buildup along the border. Quite clearly, Russia is involved in destabilizing eastern Ukraine … You see a sophisticated combination of traditional conventional warfare mixed up with information and primarily disinformation operations. It will take more than NATO to counter such hybrid warfare effectively,” Rasmussen was quoted as saying.

NATO officials, however, have admitted their intelligence is not perfect.

“We can only watch from 23 miles (37km) up,” one official told the Guardian.

Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko is to attend the NATO summit, where the 28-member bloc has prepared four ‘trust funds’ to finance Ukraine’s military logistics, command structures, and cyber defense forces, and to pay overdue military pensions.

Yet somehow Rasmussen was able to say of Russia’s embattled neighbor.

“Ukraine follows its own path…It is actually what we will decide to do at the summit, to help them build the capacity of their security sector, modernize it,” he said.

Meanwhile, it looks as if Rasmussen will be passing around the proverbial hat during next week’s summit, looking to collect more money from NATO members, even as their own countries are facing economic turmoil amid IMF-enforced austerity measures.

“Since the end of the Cold War we have lived in relatively good weather. Now we are faced with a profound climate change. That requires more investment,” said the NATO chief.

It will be interesting to see how many member states take up this latest challenge, which threatens to ratchet up European-Russian tensions to levels not seen since the Cold War.

Meanwhile, there is no question as to how Russia views NATO’s relentless eastward encroachment.

“No matter what our Western counterparts tell us, we can see what’s going on,” President Putin said in July at an emergency Security Council meeting in Moscow. “As it stands, NATO is blatantly building up its forces in Eastern Europe, including the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea areas. Its operational and combat training activities are gaining in scale.”

Putin stated that NATO’s military build-up near Russia’s border, which includes the US-built missile defense system, is not just for defensive purposes, but is an “offensive weapon” and an “element of the US offensive system deployed outside the mainland.”
