Evgeny Fedorov: To be honest, I liked the statement by the US Defense Secretary recently, one week ago or so. He said frankly: We won't lift the sanctions until we solve two problems in Russia: the resignation of the Russian government, i.e. Putin, and the dissolution of the Russian Federation. The second problem they have been trying to solve for a thousand years. The first has been added. This is the way they frame the issue. Here we just need to understand the technology of their efforts - the technology of orange invasion. The Maidan in Yerevan is a small element of the invasion.
We have talked about this before, but let's go through the details again.
The invasion technology is the recruitment of the decision-makers, under the influence of fear, by the use of blackmail, a guarantee of political asylum, and a guarantee, that they can keep their stolen wealth. Those are the main mechanisms. Their tasks are: Communication to a thousand decision-makers in Russia or a few hundred in Armenia: ministers, oligarchs, state officials, leading media figures, and so on. And a personal agreement with them, that they see their future within the United States of America, and will move to there, if problems arise. It's called, "here's a plane for you". When Yeltsin was ordering the storming of the White House ( Moscow, 1993 ), there was an American plane waiting. Meaning: Yeltsin knew, that whatever would happen in the White House, if he would be losing, then in half an hour he's on the plane and out of there. And that's the end of it - he's sitting in America, contented, i.e. he loses the position of President, but he doesn't lose his wealth or life. Here we have the same, i.e. personal negotiations, in the context of which a result is achieved. The US Defense Secretary spoke very clearly, very correctly. What he reflected was not the usual propaganda nonsense that "Once you give up Crimea, the sanctions will end". He reflected the main point: Crimea became an issue for those objectives. Crimea only became an issue after the
coup d'état in Kiev, which was an attack on us, after which the secondary issues arose: Crimea, Donbass, and so on. The objective of the February 2014 attack in Kiev was in fact a violation of international law. The Americans decided to do that. They don't do this all that often, I mean such a violation of the law, this is an exception. Having decided to do this, they would clearly go all the way, having already attacked. It's like when Hitler attacked the Soviet Union. He couldn't have advanced 100 km only to say: "I've changed my mind. I'm going back". That doesn't happen. It's an attack to the end, till the death.
Quite simply the Defense Secretary explicitly revealed the true objectives - the dismemberment of the Russian Federation, the removal of Vladimir Putin. That's it.Next begins the mechanism to achieve these objectives. What is the mechanism? Well, I was at the St. Petersburg Economic Forum. I liked the fact that those mechanisms were articulated clearly.
We're not just trying to guess why the Americans are applying pressure - it was all revealed there. They are conducting a negotiation process with the Russian elites for the extradition of Putin. The same negotiation process was conducted, for example, in Ukraine for Yanukovych. These are basically the methodologies of Ambassador Tefft. He works by them all the time. It was the same before that, when Saakashvili entered the leadership of Georgia. It's the same mechanism. The task is to get a thousand people to join this conspiracy. In essence, one can call it a conspiracy. However,
they don't need to make a pact among themselves, they only need to make agreements with the US Ambassador, or with his representatives. It's not correct to call it a conspiracy in the full sense of the word, because it's not made among themselves.
This is how the mechanisms of external invasion work - they make agreements with the Americans. The US Ambassador says: "We're willing to lift the pressure of sanctions on Russia, if you extradite the national leader Putin, and agree to the dismemberment of Russia, which will require a certain amount of time".
