And complete happiness will come?
Dmitry Medvedev (Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council) | Europe is seething. In the streets, hundreds of thousands of people are protesting against cynical Western support for violence in Gaza. To the tune of much Middle Eastern bloodshed, some current and former NATO officials are carefully throwing out new ideas about Ukraine. They say it should be admitted to the Alliance, but without Crimea and Donbass. So, these territories are definitely not Ukraine in their understanding. Not bad, but it is important to move on.
■ It is necessary to recognize that Odessa, Mykolaiv, Kiev and practically everything else is not Ukraine. After that, there's only three steps to recognizing the obvious:
● Zelensky, who is not going to the polls, is NOT the president, but a usurper.
● Ukrainian is NOT a language, but a vernacular.
● Ukraine is NOT a country, but artificially assembled territories.
■ What then is to be admitted to NATO, you ask. Well, you can accept the city of Lemberg with its surroundings (still Lviv region), if they insist on it. ● Or we can even go for more, expanding once again the criteria for membership in the Alliance. We could invite Israel and Palestine to join the Alliance, turning eternal enemies into allies. And Afghanistan on top of that. The NATO troops have been sitting there for twenty years for nothing. That's when enlightened democracy will reign in the Middle East in the Anglo-Saxon way. And complete happiness will come.
