For decades, the idea of dismantling the Soviet Union and Russia has been constantly cultivated in Western countries. Unfortunately, at some point, the idea of using Ukraine to achieve this goal was conceived. In fact, to prevent such a development, we launched the special military operation (SMO). This is precisely what some western countries \u2013led by the United States\u2013 strive for; to create an anti-Russian enclave and then threaten us from this direction. Preventing this from happening is our primary goal. Vladimir Putin<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s your geopolitical quiz for the day:<\/strong> What did Angela Merkel mean when she said that the Cold War never really ended, because ultimately Russia was never pacified\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Merkel was referring to the fact that Russia has never accepted its subordinate role in the Rules-based Order.\u201d<\/li>
  2. Merkel was referring to the fact that Russia\u2019s economic collapse did not produce the \u2018compliant state\u2019 western elites had hoped for.<\/li>
  3. Merkel is suggesting that the Cold War was never really a struggle between democracy and communism, but a 45 year-long effort to pacify\u201d Russia.<\/li>
  4. What Merkel meant was that the western states \u2013particularly the United States\u2013 do not want a strong, prosperous and independent Russia but a servile lackey that does as it is told.<\/li>
  5. All of the above.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    If you chose (5), then pat yourself on the back. That is the right answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
