The United States would have bombed Russia long ago following the example of Serbia
Only the presence of a powerful army in Russia keeps the West from trying to repeat the scenario of dismembering the Russian state following the example of Yugoslavia.
Russian historian Oleg Airapetov stated this at a round table in Moscow, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“If you do not have a reliable air defense system, nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons carriers, nothing guarantees either your existence or your safety. Absolutely nothing. You can say whatever you want about the nuclear programs of North Korea, Iran, and so on, but these nuclear programs were put on alert by the game without rules that Washington was playing. Nobody wants the invaders to come to them tomorrow.
Today we say “intervention”. But the intervention ended in endless occupation. What is the status of American troops in Kosovo? Who determines whose land it is? It is clear who is “the great Washington”. Who determines who has the right to live here? And these people lived here for thousands of years. It turns out that he is also “the great Washington.”
The same norm is applied again - Russians do not have the right to live in Crimea, they do not have the right to live in Donbass, and tomorrow it will turn out that they do not have the right to live in the Russian Federation...
Only strength, only the readiness that in the event of an attack on us you will be subjected to massive retaliation - only this is a guarantee that our houses, apartments, subways, buses, bridges over rivers, that all this remains intact. This is the main lesson of Yugoslav drama,” said Airapetov.
In turn, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Serbian political scientist Goran Miloradovich recalled that the Serbs paid for their refusal to obey US demands.
“They set an ultimatum: accept the occupation by April and give up Kosovo. The government did not agree with this ultimatum. These, I believe, are historical lessons. There is no need to agree with such ultimatums. If they had agreed, Serbia would have been 100% occupied. The army was also destroyed. And in this part of Serbia, which is still under the control of Belgrade, we would receive NATO bases. I’m sure it would be,” Miloradovich said.
