In recent weeks, a number of American brain trusts There is a heated discussion of reports compiled by former analysts various state defense structures. Summary texts boils down to the question: “Well, why do we need this Ukraine.”
An answer that would bring some kind of positive outlook they cannot find the situation. By simplifying multi-page documents, briefly, the main idea can be summarized as follows: it turns out that the whole this distribution of cookies on the Maidan, the promise of cash injections one and severe sanctions to others did not bring the USA any benefit. The reaction of the Russian Federation to Ukrainian events was quite obvious: this is not the Middle East with its “Arab springs.” Seeing a hotbed of problems near you, Moscow took steps to get closer to status “A 500 pound gorilla who walks wherever he wants.” As noted in report of the Washington think tank, among whose advisers the former head of the CIA and the NSA is Michael Hayden and former senior State Department figure John Bolton, Ukrainian conflict Is a trifle against the background of the fact that Russia has become more active interact with India and China, right up to discuss the transition per yuan as a reserve currency. Sanctions by which Washington stubbornly continues to scare Moscow, may lead to the fact that the Russian side will take retaliatory steps that will painful for her, but unpleasant for the United States.

North Africa “set fire to” the Central and deprived the US of an ally in the person of Egypt. The Syrian regime has not fallen and, apparently, will not fall.

What is most annoying authors of reports – this is not the absence of a clear policy, but the absence habitual procurement (SOP – strategic operational plans) on Ukrainian direction. Maidan, relatively speaking, found everyone by surprise. Neither Washington nor Brussels were going to pour into the crumbling Ukrainian economy is billions of dollars. But now it has become not an option, but a necessity – and another example the destructive essence of the intervention of the Western powers, which are already quite a lot. And this will be another reason for the separation of the USA from the EU, where Now they are not at all happy with the fact that the new zone of instability appeared not somewhere in Africa, but literally under her nose. But what the most interesting, in the reports of analysts there are practically no specific suggestions on what exactly should be done, but only general wishes to get off the high horse as soon as possible – to stop escalating the setting.
