Jul. 15th, 2015 11:08 amTeam Reagan versus Obama and Congress (Пересказ по-русски).
There are, however, some influential Americans who disagree with this bleak assessment and hope that reasonable heads will prevail. Among them are several members of Ronald Reagan’s team — speechwriter and current Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, Ambassadors Jack Matlock and Chas Freeman, Assistant Secretary of Treasury Paul Craig Roberts, Communications Director Patrick Buchanan, Budget Director David Stockman, senior CIA analyst Raymond McGovern, who prepared the president’s daily brief, Special Adviser to the Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Anthony Salvia and others.
Some, like David Stockman, do not mince words. He lays much of the blame on Kiev, claiming, “The Kiev government is a dysfunctional, bankrupt usurper that is deploying Western taxpayer money to wage a vicious war on several million Russian-speaking citizens in the Donbas.” Paul Craig Roberts is goes even further, spreading the blame from Russia and Ukraine to the United States itself. He says “The Obama regime aided a coup in Ukraine, long a province of Russia, and the establishment of a U.S. vassal government that threatens Russian security.” Others may not be as blunt, but share a narrative close to the one expressed in Foreign Affairs by University of Chicago professor John Mearsheimer, who argues that the West fired the first shot by instigating and supporting a military coup in Ukraine, which led to the current bloody chaos.
Вопрос к тем читателям моего блога, кто ассоциирует себя с правой частью политического спектра.
Что подвигнуло этих уважаемых людей вполне определенной политической ориентации занять столь странную (почти ватно-колорадскую) позицию по украинско-российскому вопросу? Ненависть к ко всему, что вытворяют американские либералы, ассоциирующиеся с Обамой? Солидарность с провозглашаемыми россиянским лидером ультраконсервативными лозунгами? Тотальное непонимание реалий на местности? Старческий маразм? Рецидивы изоляционизма? Личный интерес? Что? Пытаюсь понять.
Любое мнение - приветствуется.
